Chapter 185: The Tug-of-War Between Two Master Actors

Xing Li's gaze lingered for a moment on the purple dress in Wang Jianqiang's hands.

She looked up at Wang Jianqiang with a calm expression, "Daoist Friend, Xing Li does not understand much about the Artifact Dao and worries I will be unable to provide you with any help."

"No matter, you only need to put it on; leave the observation to me," Wang Jianqiang said with a smile.

Xing Li's expression stiffened, "Although the style of this dress is for women, Magic Tools do not distinguish by gender. Wouldn't it be better for you to test it yourself, Daoist Friend?"

"Fairy, that is where you are mistaken," Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "In designing this Magic Tool, besides balancing defense, I also specifically considered whether the style was beautiful or not."

"I strove to reach a level of perfection in both function and appearance."

"If I were to test it myself, I could only test the function; as for how the appearance is, I would be unable to see it."

"Only a beauty such as yourself, Fairy, can maximize the visual advantages of this dress and allow me to inspect whether there are any flaws within it."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Xing Li fell into silence once again.

She suddenly discovered that her own foolproof art of deception seemed to have met its match.

This person's skin was actually far thicker than her own!

His ability to fabricate lies was even superior to hers!

"Why? Fairy, are you unwilling to help with even such a simple request from me? Could it be that you wish to go back on your own promise?"

Seeing that Xing Li did not speak, Wang Jianqiang's expression turned cold bit by bit.

Seeing this, Xing Li's heart skipped a beat, and she gritted her teeth and nodded, "Fine, I will wear it."

As she spoke, she took the dress from Wang Jianqiang's hands with somewhat stiff movements.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang's expression softened, and he nodded with a smile.

"Although this dress is only an Upper Grade Magic Tool, its merit lies in having no Artifact Diagram to guide it; it was entirely developed by my own research."

"It is the first Magic Tool I have researched myself, and it holds great significance to me."

"I am asking you to test it, Fairy, because I value you; I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts."

Xing Li nodded and said with some difficulty two insincere words, "Many thanks."

"No need for courtesy; it is enough that you can understand my painstaking efforts, Fairy," Wang Jianqiang waved his hand.

Xing Li took a deep breath and said to Wang Jianqiang, "I am going to change."

"Go ahead," Wang Jianqiang watched her without blinking and nodded.

Seeing this, Xing Li could not help but say, "Are you not planning to look away, Daoist Friend?"

"Oh, that is true; men and women should not touch when handing things over, I understand," Wang Jianqiang nodded, "However, looking away is too troublesome; why not just use an Illusion Array to block the view?"

"If you do not have an Illusion Array on you, Fairy, I can lend you one."

"No need," Xing Li shook her head repeatedly.

Use his?

She was afraid the other party would play tricks within the Illusion Array; it was safer to use her own.

After speaking, she flipped her palm and took out a Jade Talisman.

Spirit Light flashed upon the Jade Talisman, shrouding her within it.

Seeing that Wang Jianqiang's line of sight and perception were completely blocked by the Illusion Array, a flash of craftiness appeared in her eyes.

Want to take advantage of her?

Not a chance.

Isn't it just that the dress is too sheer?

Wouldn't it be fine to just change into some undergarments with more fabric?

After Xing Li hid inside the Illusion Array, Wang Jianqiang grinned, and a flash of gold instantly crossed his eyes.

The next moment, the Illusion Array before him instantly became transparent and could no longer block his sight.

Immediately after, he suddenly froze.

No~

What is the situation?

Is she playing this excitingly?

A moment later.

The Illusion Array was retracted.

A slender figure appeared once again.

She was wearing the purple gauze dress.

The gauze was extremely thin, and through the dress, the scenery inside was visible at a glance.

A tank top covering most of her upper body and a pair of shorts that reached just to the hem of the dress covered every beautiful sight tightly.

Xing Li looked at Wang Jianqiang with a face full of triumph, "Is this okay now?"

"Mm, white, truly white."

Wang Jianqiang nodded subconsciously.

"Hm?"

Xing Li was startled, somewhat confused, "What are you saying, Daoist Friend? What is truly white? I am asking if you have finished looking at the style of the Magic Tool?"

"Ah?"

"Ah~"

Wang Jianqiang was stunned, then immediately came to his senses, "Cough, cough, alright, I have seen it."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, a light flashed over Xing Li's body.

A silver long dress had already covered her body.

Wang Jianqiang withdrew his gaze, still feeling unsatisfied, looked at the somewhat dejected Xing Li, and smiled.

"Fairy Xingli, there is no need to be like this. I might as well tell you, Fairy, that I am actually a Pill Dao Specialty Cultivator. Among Pill Dao Specialty Cultivators, while I wouldn't say no one can compare, I can certainly be considered a dragon among men."

"As long as you, Fairy, obediently listen to what I say, I will certainly be able to satisfy you, Daoist Friend, regarding the improvement of your cultivation."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Xing Li was stunned, widened her eyes, and looked at Wang Jianqiang, "You just said... you are a Pill Dao Specialty Cultivator?"

"That's right." Wang Jianqiang nodded.

Having received Wang Jianqiang's confirmation, Xing Li felt her head spinning.

She knew very well how strong Tianxingzi was; he was definitely in the strongest echelon below the Nascent Soul Stage.

That the other party could kill Tianxingzi meant his combat power must be extremely formidable.

An Alchemist?

Does that correlate with combat power?

Putting these two terms together, why does it feel so incongruous?

And...

Didn't he just say earlier that he was interested in the Artifact Dao?

One hour later.

Two figures appeared in another direction of the Ancient Battlefield.

Behind Wang Jianqiang.

Xing Li looked at Wang Jianqiang's back, her eyes full of shock.

Only at this moment did she finally know why Wang Jianqiang could treat the Purple Haze Star Array she was so proud of as if it were nothing.

Wang Jianqiang seemed to have cultivated an extremely peculiar Pupil Technique.

This Pupil Technique could see through the operating trajectories of all Formations, and could even see through the Ancient Remnant Arrays in the Ancient Battlefield!

When she first entered the Ancient Battlefield, relying on Astrology and her cautious personality, it took her a full month to enter that Remnant Tower without any danger.

But following Wang Jianqiang, there was absolutely no need to worry about accidentally entering an Ancient Remnant Array.

To describe this way of traveling with one word, it would be...

Charging recklessly!

The crises in the Ancient Battlefield were simply like decorations to him.

He could see through them with just a glance.

Flying all the way, it was as leisurely and comfortable as sightseeing.

The distance covered in a mere hour exceeded her previous month of travel!

Just at this moment, her heart suddenly stirred.

Since Wang Jianqiang's Pupil Technique was so powerful, could her previous Maze Array have blocked his sight?

The answer was obviously negative.

In that case.

Hadn't he seen everything he should and shouldn't have seen?

Thinking of this, her cheeks instantly turned bright red.
