Kill them, flay them, do as you please.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Yinyue exhaled slowly, gazing deeply at Li Muxian, and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she leapt straight down into the bone-filled pit, heading toward the seven immobilized figures…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Muxian withdrew his gaze and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, his eyebrows lifted slightly as he turned toward a spirited woman who had stealthily appeared in the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as their eyes met, Shangguan Qingqing and Li Muxian stared at each other in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I… I didn’t mean to attack you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Qingqing quickly raised both hands; her once proud, beautiful face now looked timid and cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gently turned her head, gesturing toward the ruins in one corner of the courtyard, and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I remember there was another girl here, like me, hunting down lecherous bandits. I came back to save her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Muxian glanced at the ruins and waved his hand, signaling her to do as she wished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already noticed Guan Shanxue, but seeing she was unharmed—merely knocked unconscious by the collapsed house—he had paid her no mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Shangguan Qingqing let out a heavy sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stole a glance at Li Muxian, then hurried into the ruins and dug out Guan Shanxue, covered in dirt and dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After checking her body and confirming no serious injuries, she channeled her true qi into Guan Shanxue’s body, slowly bringing her back to consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan Shanxue awoke, pressing her hand to her forehead, feeling dizzy and heavy-headed, her vision blurred with swirling colors and double images.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lifted her head slightly, scanning the surrounding ruins and the figure of Shangguan Qingqing beside her, still unclear where she was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next instant, when her gaze landed on Li Muxian, her eyes locked—suddenly drawn to some peculiar aura emanating from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the swirling colors in her vision faded, her dizziness began to lift, yet her gaze remained glued to Li Muxian, unable to look away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An inexplicable flutter stirred within Guan Shanxue’s heart—seeing this man, she felt sudden joy and warmth, an overwhelming urge to be near him, to hold him in her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in fact, Guan Shanxue acted on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a dazed, infatuated stare at Li Muxian, she rose from the ground and rushed toward him, arms wide open to embrace him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Muxian pressed one hand against her forehead, halting her completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? I know I’m admittedly handsome, but why didn’t she ever act this way before? Now she suddenly throws herself at me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Muxian touched his face, frowning at Guan Shanxue, her face caked in grime like a spotted cat:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can’t even bring myself to touch her!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Shangguan Qingqing’s eyes flickered; she stared at Guan Shanxue, who was now clawing desperately at the air, determined to cling to Li Muxian, and suddenly remembered something:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I recall—I just heard faintly that the lecher’s mother gave her something called a Thousand Obsessions, Hundred Sorrows Powder. Supposedly, it makes women fall madly in love with any man they see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned to Li Muxian again and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s probably why she’s acting like this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Li Muxian raised an eyebrow slightly and narrowed his eyes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s actually such a strange potion?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he crossed over, while browsing the web, he’d often seen endless pop-up ads, many of them promoting fake love potions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But those were all scams—tricks to swindle old perverts out of money; no such drug existed in reality that could make someone fall in love out of nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet here, in this world where martial cultivation flourished, such bizarre things actually existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, he flicked his finger against Guan Shanxue’s forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, her internal true qi boiled like water, crimson flushes spreading along her pale neck, her face turning bright red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, she bent forward and spat out a jet of black fluid thick with true qi, then rolled her eyes back and fainted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The poison’s been purged. She should be fine. I leave her to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Muxian pushed Guan Shanxue toward Shangguan Qingqing, who caught her and stared at Li Muxian with eyes full of wonder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she laid Guan Shanxue on the ground, tidied her robes slightly, and formally bowed to Li Muxian with both hands:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am Shangguan Qingqing, from Qingzhou, a disciple of the Tianhe Dao Sect. Your righteousness and profound martial skill truly inspire me. May I know your name, so we may become acquainted?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Li Muxian glanced at Shangguan Qingqing—this girl was spirited and lovely, and she praised him well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li Muxian.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He returned the bow with a martial handshake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Qingqing’s face lit up, assuming Li Muxian was a humble, approachable young hero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Muxian’s next words left her stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Qingqing, you may also call me His Imperial Highness the Eighth Prince. I also have a Jianghu  nickname: Little Li Flying Dagger.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, if you’d like to call me the Number One Martial Artist in the World, that’s fine too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Muxian spoke calmly, without a hint of irony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1081,"2026-06-20T01:43:38.503Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","5a53241805c84c385702d47e5212cd91b31a8ac6f201b792a0af21e4f5ed80ca","after-fifteen-years-of-secret-cultivation-i-star-chapter-68","after-fifteen-years-of-secret-cultivation-i-star-chapter-66",259,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-fifteen-years-of-secret-cultivation-i-star-cover.jpg"]
