The Protagonist Is in the Right Position to Get Along With the Villain
Chapter 77

Mu Yanji obviously also saw Li Jinzhi. Her eyes flashed with a trace of surprise, but then she smiled faintly and said, "So it's Brother Li. Little sister's luck is really bad." While speaking, her eyebrows slightly wrinkled, as if she was really distressed.
Li Jinzhi just nodded slightly when he heard this. "Fairy, please enlighten me."
Then the bell rang, and the two made their moves at the same time. Mu Yanji separated one of her hands, and a yellow jade hairpin flew out from her hair bun. After circling in the air, it turned into ten, then a hundred, and then a thousand. A thick aura of earth and stone faintly emitted from the ancient hairpin, enveloping half of the arena.
Li Jinzhi's speed was even faster. With a flick of his sleeve, the air in the entire arena condensed. Bursts of cold air spread out from his body, and countless thin ice needles appeared in the frozen void, emitting bursts of strange cold power.
Mu Yanji was very confident in her magic weapon. At this time, when she saw Li Jinzhi directly control the ice needles condensed from ice spiritual power, and the ice needles flashed with a cold light, as if they would fall at any time, her frown became even more worried.
Then she seemed to have made up her mind. She clenched her teeth and made a one-handed gesture. The jade hairpin in the air slightly twisted, and then it pounced toward Li Jinzhi with irresistible force.
Seeing that the other party didn't dodge, and instead controlled the ice needles to pounce toward her, the woman was secretly happy. Even though there were many ice needles, her jade hairpin was a high-grade magic weapon. It was given to her by her father when she left home, so it was needless to say how powerful it was.
Even if her opponent had an ice-attribute heavenly spirit root, he would still have to retreat if he encountered her magic weapon. However, it would be extremely troublesome if some of the ice needles got close to his body. Mu Yanji thought of this, and quickly took out a worn-out silk handkerchief. Then, she covered her whole body with it. Moreover, her body was covered by the miraculous light. So, her silhouette couldn't be seen clearly in the ring.
Li Jinzhi looked at the ice cones that were fighting with the jade hairpin in mid-air. He narrowed his eyes and changed the incantation in his mouth. The ice cones that were as thin as a cow's hair in mid-air trembled slightly and emitted countless icy white mist. The temperature around the ring suddenly dropped, causing the disciples standing close to the ring to shiver.
"Heavens! Such pure ice spiritual energy! Could this person be a disciple with an ice attribute heavenly spiritual root?" A disciple hurriedly released a protective spiritual light to resist the cold air.
"If it's a Heavenly Spirit Root, how could it be so obscure and unheard of?" Another disciple frowned and retorted.
"Maybe it's just that his cultivation method is more powerful, and he might not have a Heavenly Spiritual Root."
"That's right."
No matter how noisy the discussions below the stage were, Mu Yanji didn't have the time to pay attention to them. Countless tiny ice beads had already appeared on the jade hairpin that was fighting against the icicles. Her movements were sluggish and powerless.
At this moment, the ice cones silently exploded and the burst of water vapor enveloped the jade hairpin. With a "clang" sound, the jade hairpin that was completely frozen fell to the ground. It seemed to have lost a lot of its spirituality.
Mu Yanji was shocked and wanted to make another move. However, she saw a layer of light blue Ice Crystals appear on the yellow silk handkerchief that enveloped her body. A strange cold force spread out and the magic power in her body also seemed to be solidified.
"I admit defeat." Mu Yanji bit her lower lip and shook her head. "Brother Li's magic power is strong. This little sister is sincerely convinced." Then she rolled her eyes and said, "Brother Li, this little sister will make friends with this friend. I'll come to ask for advice on cultivation methods some other day."
Then, without waiting for Li Jinzhi to answer, she turned around and flew toward the high platform.
Li Jinzhi looked at the girl's eyes that were full of interest and a trace of a bad feeling arose spontaneously. However, he didn't care and returned to the Elder's Stand after finishing his incantation.
Elder Bai patted his shoulder with a red face and said with a smile, "Good job!
Haha! "
Ye Cheng stood beside Li Jinzhi and glanced at Mu Yanji's position. When he saw that she was still looking at Li Jinzhi with interest, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed. "What did she say to you just now?"
Although a cultivator's five senses were very sharp, the arena was really far away. Moreover, there was a slight sound insulation restriction around the arena. Therefore, he could only see Mu Yanji's eyes, which were full of interest, as well as her moving lips. However, he couldn't hear even half a word clearly.
Li Jinzhi followed Ye Cheng's gaze and met Mu Yanji's gaze. He raised his eyebrows and said, "She's probably not convinced by her loss. Come and ask me for advice some other day."
When Ye Cheng heard this, his dark red eyes flickered. He snorted and transmitted his voice, "If Jingzhi didn't suppress his cultivation and couldn't use many of his magic powers, how could this girl be your opponent?" Therefore, only I am qualified to stay by your side. "
Li Jinzhi laughed in his heart, but on the surface, he transmitted his voice back very seriously. "No one by my side can leave the domain."
Ye Cheng's expression softened slightly. He turned his head and watched the arena competition very seriously.
The competition continued in an orderly manner. The qualifiers were soon over, and the remaining 400 people were still fighting by drawing lots. Grand Supreme Ancestor said, "Luck is also a part of strength."
Li Jinzhi and Ye Cheng each went down to fight five or six rounds. Not to mention that their opponents were not strong, even if their opponents were extremely strong, they could only retreat when they encountered the two half-demon cultivators who had hidden their strength.
In the final battle for the top ten, Li Jinzhi and Ye Cheng felt that their rankings were enough, so they deliberately lost. They agreed to represent their sect in the Inter-Sect Competition half a month later with the sixth and seventh positions.
When they returned to their residence, Elder Bai seemed to be very happy. He took out a jar of baiye wine to celebrate, but Li Jinzhi and Ye Cheng said that their magic power was empty and that they needed to return to their room immediately to adjust their breathing for the Inter-Sect Competition half a month later.
Elder Bai watched the two disciples leave with gloomy eyes. He frowned slightly when he sensed the spiritual power mark he had planted.
As soon as Li Jinzhi entered the bamboo house and was about to walk to the jade bed, his waist was wrapped around by an arm from behind. Ye Cheng's head rubbed against his neck and said with a slightly hot breath in his ear, "After a day of fighting, I'm very tired. Why don't we sleep together first and get up tomorrow to adjust our breathing and cultivate?"
Li Jinzhi only hesitated for a moment. Although he knew that the other person's words about being tired were pure nonsense, he didn't expose it. With one hand, he pulled the other's hand that was on his waist and walked towards the jade bed. "Last time, I obtained a good silk blanket from the field silkworm. It's just right for this time."
Ye Cheng was led to the bed. Looking at Ye Cheng's jade-like face, his heart felt warm. He reached out to grab Ye Cheng's belt and wanted to untie it, but Ye Cheng unexpectedly grabbed his wrist.
"What are you doing?"
"Of course I'm taking off my clothes."
Ye Cheng said with a straight face, but there was some doubt in his eyes. "Don't tell me Jingzhi is planning to sleep with his clothes on?" How boring would that be?
Li Jinzhi raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of disbelief. After a moment of confrontation, he saw that Ye Cheng's eyes were honest and could not help but feel a little suspicious. Could it be that he was thinking too much?
Ye Cheng stared back. That's right, you're thinking too much.
After a moment, Li Jinzhi was defeated. He let go of Ye Cheng's wrist and let him do as he pleased. Ye Cheng took off his belt and the wide robe was gently taken off. A thin layer of Ice Crystals was loosely put on his body. On his jade-white skin, there was a thin layer of Ice Crystals.
