My Lady Always Lacks Ambition

Chapter 704 - 688: Push Me, And I’ll Take Over Your Lair!

A bear blind shouted out Ice Blades from its mouth, making Qin Liuxi feel particularly disconcerted and contrary to animal tradition.

This was simply cheating.

Although she was complaining in her heart, Qin Liuxi’s dodging moves were not slow at all; she even conjured several Fire Talismans out of thin air.

Fire melts ice, no problem.

The Black Sand Demon became even more irritable seeing her counterattack like this, a cunning and despicable human. He was about to absorb water, but Qin Liuxi had already retreated to a safe distance and said, "You have the shape of a bear, why can you absorb water and turn it into ice?"

The Black Sand Demon proudly said, "Naturally, it is a move I created myself, transformed by my mana."

"Pretty impressive."

"Of course... wait, you cunning little thing, don’t think about diverting Laozi’s attention again. Witness the power of Laozi." The Black Sand Demon snorted coldly. Seeing the Ice Blades easily resolved by Qin Liuxi, its dark eyes reddened, and without doing much, suddenly the sky turned pitch black, strong winds arose, and golden yellow sand whirled up a storm, enveloping everything.

With this magic, the already darkening sky became even darker, sunless.

Qin Liuxi’s face tensed slightly, her eyes half-closed, and suddenly she heard the raging sound of sand in her ears.

She turned her head to see that a small tornado and sandstorm had already formed near her, and the sand at her feet was rapidly sinking.

Is this the ability of the Black Sand Demon?

Qin Liuxi rolled on the spot, aiming for the flat sand surface to move away from the sinking quicksand.

But with that roll, she fell straight down into a deep pit.

In this place, there were no more tornadoes or sandstorms, but there were ghostly wails and mournful howls, sobbing and shrieking, evoking vicious energy in one’s heart.

Qin Liuxi’s brows furrowed, listening to the wailing that sounded like both a ghost’s wail and a chant. As the two sounds merged, the noise grew louder, causing a headache almost to the point of splitting, and a sense of irritability and anger emerged in her heart.

Wishing to destroy everything.

This thought arose, and sparks began to flicker at her fingertips.

One should not play with fire carelessly.

The words of advice from Master Chi Yuan and the old baldy from Wuxiang Temple were like a pool of clear spring, quenching the newly arisen thoughts.

Qin Liuxi opened her eyes, her hands Sealing, reciting the Golden Light Divine Spell, with Taoist Scripture characters wrapped in golden light floating out.

The ghostly wails and mournful howls gradually faded away.

The irritability also slowly calmed down.

The Black Sand Demon watching this scene was surprised; she actually withstood the Buddha Realm it transformed with mana.

Once in this Buddha Realm, if your will wasn’t strong, it was easy to lose your mental nature, and thus Heart Demons could arise and take control. When that happens, you’d become a puppet-like being, manipulated by others, and self-harm was also possible.

Qin Liuxi clearly had a moment of being drawn into the realm, yet before a Heart Demon could emerge, she calmed down and even broke the realm with the Golden Light Divine Spell.

The Black Sand Demon was somewhat pleasantly surprised. As expected, a person with merit is challenging.

Once the Buddha Realm was broken, it thrust an Ice Blade towards the unprepared Qin Liuxi.

Qin Liuxi opened her eyes, one hand grabbing the Ice Blade, lifting her head to look at the Black Sand Demon: "Enough, I do have a temper."

She refrained from harming it, recognizing it was a Mountain Spirit that had cultivated itself, but if it thought she was easy to bully, then it shouldn’t blame her for using her powerful moves.

The Black Sand Demon saw that look in her eyes, and suddenly felt a bit scared, but quickly despised itself – with her small frame, she wasn’t enough to squash with one slap, what was she trying to pull?

His Ice Blade advanced, but it wouldn’t move an inch.

How could this be?

"Let me say it again. It’s not easy to achieve spiritual wisdom, do not force me." Qin Liuxi’s eyes, for some reason, had a hint of crimson, as if flames were burning in them.

And the hand grasping the Ice Blade dripped with blood from the effort of the hold.

The Black Sand Demon smelled the sweetness in that blood and paused, bewildered. How could this be? He looked at Qin Liuxi with astonishment in his eyes, "You’re actually an outsider?"

What’s that supposed to mean?

Qin Liuxi said with a stern face, "Let go, or I won’t be polite."

The Black Sand Demon’s fighting spirit was aroused again, with a loud laugh, "Force me, what can you do? I’d like to see how you won’t be polite."

A corner of Qin Liuxi’s mouth curled up, showing a bit of a sinister air, saying, "Force me and..."

Fire!

Boom.

A tongue of fire suddenly shot out from her hand, crawling up the Ice Blade at lightning speed, melting it, and the flame quickly claimed the Black Sand Demon’s fur.

"Oww."

The Black Sand Demon howled in excruciating pain and promptly jumped into the oasis, creating a huge splash as the water overflowed.

When night falls, it’s chilling in the Black Desert.

The Black Sand Demon squatted next to the campfire, sobbing and caressing his now bald body, glaring at Qin Liuxi with resentment.

"Not convinced?" Qin Liuxi flipped a grilled fish, don’t ask where the fish came from, it was the result of the Black Sand Demon’s reckless leap into the lake that splashed it up.

The Black Sand Demon moved a few steps away, saying, "Do you know how important fur is to a bear? My fur was glossy and robust, each strand as sharp as an arrow, and my hard-as-armadillo scales could make impenetrable armor. And yet, you burned it all with a single fire."

What’s most important is that the burn was bad enough, but the fire scorched his soul, and now his cultivation had regressed.

Wooo, he lost the Purple Gold Tao Fruit to her thievery, got his fur burned, cultivation regressed, such a loss!

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but want to cry.

"That’s all on you; I warned you several times!" Qin Liuxi sneered and said, "You hit me on the back, I even coughed up blood, your Ice Blade made me bleed, burning your fur is nothing!"

When had she ever suffered like this?

"It was you who stole my Dao Fruit first!"

"Was that yours? Since the world began, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are naturally formed, when did they ever bear your name, and how do they become yours without even being in your possession? As long as they aren’t in your hands and still grow in this world, they belong to the capable!"

The Black Sand Demon was furious, "I’ve guarded it for three hundred years until it barely matured. How is it not mine? This is my territory."

"Oh, it’s my territory now!"

The Black Sand Demon: "?"

What the hell, I’ve suffered a loss, and now I’ve lost my lair to her?

"I beat you in a fight, so it’s my territory now. Not satisfied, I’ll burn you again!" Qin Liuxi said with a smirk, "But think it through, this is Karmic Fire, it can burn all things and all sins. If I hadn’t controlled it just now, you would have turned to ash a long time ago, where would you be able to argue with me?"

I’m not arguing, clearly, you’re the one quibbling!

The Black Sand Demon squinted at her and asked, "How come you have Karmic Fire? Isn’t that only found in the Underworld? Did you steal from there too?"

Qin Liuxi looked at his horrified and incredulous face, and with a grin, said, "Right, I even dared to steal from the Underworld. Don’t you find me frightening?"

Surviving after stealing from the Underworld, don’t get too cocky.

The Black Sand Demon moved a few steps further away, and he believed her.

Qin Liuxi: "..."

When this simpleton Mountain Spirit was cultivating, did he forget to cultivate his brain?
