Cohabitation with Sword Spirit-Chapter 144 - 116: The True Feminist

Who would have thought that today, Li Wanqing of the Li Family suddenly returned to QingCyan Cloud City, dueling Qian Ye beneath the Drunken Immortal Tower, moving the finals of the Cyan Cloud competition forward by more than 2 months!

Even more shocking was that Qian Ye was defeated in just one move. According to Mr. Bao, the owner of the Drunken Immortal Tower, Li Wanqing didn't even make a move, and Qian Ye willingly admitted defeat, essentially winning without a fight! The gap in strength displayed was almost a realm-crushing level.

If they couldn't get an exclusive interview with such news immediately, the journalists at Cyan Cloud Daily would feel ashamed of their professionalism. It used to be said by the former Patriarch Li Qianhai of the Li Family that they ran faster than the professional journalists from the Western Heaven-Reaching City, a saying that still hangs at the newspaper's entrance today.

Indeed, Meng Wen and Yue Lian lived up to the reputation, blocking Li Wanqing's path before all their peers. Meng Wen, filled with excitement, immediately asked, "First, may I ask—"

Li Wanqing waved her hand, "I'm not interested in interviews."

Yue Lian, unsurprised, smiled and handed over a slip of paper, "Our latest internal edition of the Cyan Cloud Beauties list, no ads, all genuine beauty, with contact information attached."

Li Wanqing casually accepted the paper, then seriously replied, "Ahem, what do you want to ask?"

"First, we would like to ask Miss Wanqing, regarding your duel with Mr. Qian Ye, were both sides committed to using their full strength?"

Li Wanqing laughed, "At least he should have been giving his all."

This statement carried a lot of implication, as if suggesting that to deal with Qian Ye, she didn't even need to exert her full strength. The two journalists exchanged glances, realizing that the news value might exceed their expectations.

"It's well known that in previous years, Mr. Qian Ye, being older and having cultivated longer, was always somewhat stronger than you. Why is there such a sudden disparity today?"

Li Wanqing's smile was even brighter, "What a silly question. It's naturally because my talent and aptitude surpass his."

Li Wanqing is recognized as the strongest of this generation in the Li Family, with talent comparable to the astonishing Li Fengyun. This isn't news anymore, so the two journalists couldn't accept such a perfunctory answer and quickly pursued further.

"Did you happen to master some cultivation technique that restrains him? For instance, since the Qian Family has been collectively practicing Qiankun Throw and Flower Rain, as a direct competitor, isn't it targeting this point..."

Li Wanqing snorted, "I only returned to QingCyan Cloud City this morning, how would I know what tricks the Qian Family is practicing beforehand? Besides, just Qiankun Throw, do I really need to cultivate some profound art to counter it? Frankly, relying on such opportunistic techniques as hope for victory reflects the Qian Family's limits. To deal with them, sheer strength is enough."

"But previously everyone believed that you could only surpass Qian Ye in strength after turning 20 years old..."

Li Wanqing waved her hand, "A bunch of ordinary people trying to speculate on a genius's achievements, don't you think that's ridiculous?"

"..." The two reporters silently noted down the statement seriously—this is the news point!

They initially wanted to prompt Li Wanqing to say something deliberately targeting the Qian Family for some hype, but never expected her response to be even more domineering!

After a moment, Yue Lian asked, "Mr. Qian Ye has been widely recognized as the biggest favorite to win this year's Cyan Cloud competition. By defeating him effortlessly, does it mean the championship is already within your grasp?"

Li Wanqing unabashedly replied, "Of course, since I was 15, I don't accept any trophy other than the championship."

This overwhelmingly confident statement nearly made Yue Lian and Meng Wen's knees weaken, feeling they should bow in admiration.

"Well, we will eagerly await to see if you can achieve your desired ultimate victory."

Such quick news doesn't need long interviews; Meng Wen and Yue Lian had almost gathered everything they wanted and were about to leave when Meng Wen couldn't help but ask one last question.

"By the way, it's heard that Miss Wanqing was originally supposed to return to Cyan Cloud in December. Why did you come back over a month early?"

Upon hearing this question, Li Wanqing's eyes lit up, "It's because of the Spirit Cat."

"...What?"

"It's the Spirit Cat Plan that has become so popular in QingCyan Cloud City recently, the idol project promoted by the Qian Family and others. That little cat-eared, cat-pawed creature is so adorably illegal! No wonder its popularity is skyrocketing. I could hear people discussing it even on Yuqing Mountain. Initially, I didn't care, but after accidentally seeing the Spirit Cat photo album they bought, I instantly decided to return to Cyan Cloud at the first opportunity."

"..." The two reporters' expressions turned stiff for a moment before forcing a reluctant smile, "Unexpectedly, Miss Wanqing is also a fan of the Spirit Cat."

"Fan? Ha, how could that be." Li Wanqing dismissively shook her head, "I've never chased stars, I only chase women."

"...What?"

"I want that adorable little creature to be my girlfriend."

Boom!

The two reporters simultaneously felt a jolt of electricity coursing through their bodies, their professional journalist ethics sending continuous waves of high excitement and joy, as if reaching new climaxes.

Damn, this is the real big news! Compared to the earlier duel with Qian Ye and the championship declaration, this girlfriend declaration is the genuinely explosive story! 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

If memory serves, back then, it seemed Li Wanqing's similar actions made the elders of the Li Family so distressed they wanted to tear their hair out, eventually entrusting the famous Wuqing Daoist to strictly oversee her. But within a few years, even Wuqing Daoist seemed on the brink of a Primordial Spirit collapse. Helplessly, with Wuqing Daoist's mediation, the elders of the Li Family asked the world-renowned educator Yuqing True Master to teach her.
