As for the blatant lies of Qian Duoduo, Wang Ruoxie could only silently shake his head in speechless disapproval.

This guy's nature is just like that. However, it was clear that Qian Duoduo and Dugu Mo had a very good relationship; otherwise, they would never joke with each other like this.

At least, Dugu Mo wasn't someone who liked to joke around. If it were anyone else daring to call Dugu Mo by such a name, they might not be able to speak again the next moment.

"Come on, ice block face, let me introduce you. This is my boss. Don't be fooled by his Ninth Layer of Essence Pill Realm cultivation; his strength is definitely not weaker than an early-stage Martial Cultivator of the Acupoint Condensation Realm."

At this moment, Qian Duoduo pulled Dugu Mo along, introducing, "This unparalleled beauty is my Sister Yue. Her cultivation is the same as mine, but her strength is much greater."

"From now on, just call them boss and Sister Yue like I do."

"Wang Ruoxie."

"Xiao Ningyue."

Wang Ruoxie and Xiao Ningyue both rolled their eyes at Qian Duoduo, then nodded towards Dugu Mo and stated their names.

"You don't need to pay attention to this guy, just call me by my name."

Wang Ruoxie said to Dugu Mo. He had a good impression of this extremely cold Sword Cultivator and was willing to become acquainted with him.

Firstly, because they were both Sword Cultivators, and secondly, such a pure Sword Cultivator typically had an extremely pure heart. For this kind of person, the only thing important was the sword, and their achievements in the Sword Dao were almost unrivaled.

He believed that as long as Dugu Mo didn't fall due to bad luck before growing up, his future achievements would definitely be incredibly brilliant.

"Boss, you saying that, I'm heartbroken."

Upon hearing Wang Ruoxie's words, Qian Duoduo said somewhat aggrievedly.

"You are very strong."

Dugu Mo naturally ignored Qian Duoduo's words. He gazed intently at Wang Ruoxie and then spoke.

Although the person before him only had Ninth Layer Essence Pill Realm cultivation, he could feel the powerful aura emanating from him, and it even gave him a sense of being unfathomable.

The most important thing was that he felt a sword aura on the other party that wasn't much weaker than his own, which meant that the other party's Swordsmanship might have reached the Ninth Layer Sword Intent Great Perfection level just like his own.

"You're also quite good."

Wang Ruoxie smiled after hearing this and replied.

Following Wang Ruoxie's words, everyone around them looked astonished one by one. Did this guy even realize who he was speaking to?

This guy himself only had a measly Ninth Layer of Essence Pill Realm cultivation, yet he only gave Dugu Mo, who could make it to the forefront of the Jiuzhou Chronicles, a mere "quite good" evaluation.

They didn't know that from Wang Ruoxie's perspective, being able to give someone a "quite good" evaluation was already quite difficult, and it was proof enough that he genuinely appreciated Dugu Mo.

"If there's a chance, let's have a spar."

Dugu Mo said to Wang Ruoxie.

"Alright."

Wang Ruoxie nodded and replied with a smile.

Listening to their extremely simple conversation, everyone could hardly believe it.

Dugu Mo, with Sixth Layer Acupoint Condensation Realm cultivation and capable of passing the Fourth Layer of the Nine-layered Tower, whose strength was comparable to the late stage of Acupoint Condensation, actually took the initiative to challenge someone with just Ninth Layer Essence Pill Realm cultivation.

One must know that the more outstanding a genius is, the prouder they are inside. Let alone actively challenging someone weaker, even being challenged by someone weaker is an insult to them.

As far as they know, Dugu Mo is an extremely aloof person who almost never draws his sword against someone with lower cultivation and weaker strength than himself, as if those people simply do not deserve his sword. Even the battle with Dai An was a result of Dai An's repeated provocations.

However, Dugu Mo now took the initiative to invite a challenge from an anonymous kid with only Ninth Layer Essence Pill Realm cultivation. How could this not shock them?

What they couldn't accept most was that the anonymous kid with just Ninth Layer Essence Pill Realm cultivation not only accepted it readily but acted like it was a challenge posed by a regular Essence Pill Realm cultivator, not Dugu Mo, a renowned figure ranked within the top fifty of the Myriad Dragons List.

At this moment, in the eyes of many people, Wang Ruoxie had become an ignorant braggart.

"Ningyue, you go first."

Wang Ruoxie naturally didn't care about the looks from the crowd. He turned to Xiao Ningyue and said.

"Alright."

Xiao Ningyue nodded slightly and then stepped forward directly into the Nine-layered Tower.

"What a beautiful woman."

"Today was not in vain, not only seeing the renowned Dugu Mo but also such a beautiful, peerless beauty."

"If I could have this woman, I'd be willing to shorten my life by ten years."

"Get lost! Do you really think so? If it were me, I'd be willing to shorten my life by a hundred years."

"Haha... I'd shorten my lifespan by a thousand years."

"Idiot, then you might as well die, unless you break through to the Purple Mansion Realm; otherwise, you can't possibly have a thousand-year lifespan."

...

At this time, the crowd finally discovered that the woman with the clueless braggart was such a peerless beauty. Instantly, all eyes deserted Wang Ruoxie and focused on Xiao Ningyue.

Wherever it is, at whatever level, women, especially beautiful ones, are always easy to become the focus of attention, let alone Xiao Ningyue, a beauty of unparalleled grace.

At this moment, regardless of any renowned Dugu Mo or braggart Wang Ruoxie, they were completely ignored by the crowd. Almost all eyes fell on the first layer of the brightly lit Nine-layered Tower.

Especially those so-called outstanding young men who considered themselves exceptionally good-looking and talented, their eyes were burning with expectation, clearly harboring intentions of winning over the beauty.

"These damn lechers dare to desecrate Sister Yue like this."

Qian Duoduo couldn't help but curse.

However, he couldn't remember how disheveled he was when he first met Xiao Ningyue.

In contrast, Wang Ruoxie just smiled faintly. He knew very well about the charm Xiao Ningyue's beauty possessed, and also knew the age-old saying that beauty brings disaster.

However, he was confident that as long as he was there, no one could harm Xiao Ningyue.

As for Dugu Mo, standing to the side, his eyes hardly strayed from the ancient sword in his hand, as if Xiao Ningyue's exceptional beauty was inferior to his sword.

At this time, Xiao Ningyue had already spotted the guardian puppet on the first layer of the Nine-layered Tower.

It was a gigantic Two-winged Black Tiger exuding a fierce aura, glaring at Xiao Ningyue with menacing eyes.

If she hadn't known it was a puppet, Xiao Ningyue might have truly mistaken it for a real Demon Beast.

"Roar!"

With a resounding roar, the Two-winged Black Tiger suddenly transformed into a black flash, pouncing towards Xiao Ningyue, its razor-sharp claws glinting with a cold sheen, as if ready to tear her apart.

"Such speed."

Xiao Ningyue's eyes narrowed. If it were an average early-stage Acupoint Condensation Martial Cultivator, they might not have been a match for this puppet.

"Ice Seal."

A frigid voice escaped Xiao Ningyue's lips.

Suddenly, an overpowering Profound Yin Qi swept out from her body.
