Although Xiao Tian said this, Sun Miaohan still didn’t dare to relax even slightly, until the man’s figure disappeared from view, only then did she truly breathe a sigh of relief.

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Sun Miaohan felt as if she had just been through a major battle, her whole being exuding a sense of fatigue.

After a while, Sun Miaohan finally said, "Thank you!"

Xiao Tian merely nodded slightly, understanding in his heart that Sun Miaohan could have completely shifted the hatred of that master onto him.

But Sun Miaohan didn’t do so, which was the reason Xiao Tian chose to intervene.

"What exactly did you do to that person earlier?!" Xiao Tian couldn’t contain the curiosity in his heart and brought the topic back to the previous encounter.

Even though he had been with Sun Miaohan for only half a month, he could tell that she was a relatively strong-willed woman, her inner strength far exceeding that of most men.

But earlier, she displayed a fearful demeanor, which was surprising.

Moreover, Xiao Tian’s intuition told him that Sun Miaohan’s fear didn’t stem from the man’s strength, but rather from something akin to a psychological shadow.

"That person is named Tao Zhenghao; his sect and my sect are forces on the same level, and his father is a high-standing Sect Leader..."

Before Sun Miaohan could finish, Xiao Tian interjected, guessing, "So you’re actually in an arranged marriage with him, but you weren’t satisfied and ran away?"

"You’ve watched too many soap operas?!" Sun Miaohan retorted in dissatisfaction, "Also, in the future, when I’m speaking, you’d better not interrupt me; it’s really impolite!"

Xiao Tian was dumbstruck — how could someone like you keep talking about politeness?!

However, he still didn’t say much more, standing quietly to the side, becoming a qualified listener.

Seeing Xiao Tian remain silent, Sun Miaohan continued contentedly, "Three years ago, during a trip, I stumbled upon Tao Zhenghao..."

...

After Sun Miaohan finished explaining her situation with Tao Zhenghao, Xiao Tian’s expression became quite remarkable.

"Just because of a word, he is so devoted to you?!" Xiao Tian asked incredulously, then appraised Sun Miaohan, feeling it was too fantastical.

"Are you questioning my allure?" In her heart, she secretly vowed that when you irrevocably fall in love with me, watch how I’ll turn you down without hesitation.

Seeing Xiao Tian shake his head in denial, Sun Miaohan was about to say "that’s more like it," but before she could, Xiao Tian said, "I just think that Tao Zhenghao’s eyes must have some problem."

Sun Miaohan replied in anger, "You’re still questioning my allure, aren’t you?"

"Alright! Just wait; once you uncontrollably fall in love with me, even if you kneel down and beg, I still won’t look back, not even for a glance!"

To this, Xiao Tian responded with disdain, "Better to dream less about that; it’s not realistic."

"Oh, so you’re saying you think you won’t fall in love with me?" Sun Miaohan provocatively looked at Xiao Tian, appearing ready to test it out.

Xiao Tian shook his head with some helplessness, then turned and walked towards the tent, saying with his back turned, "Instead of daydreaming, why not seriously consider how to obtain the Shaking Light Disc."

Watching Xiao Tian’s retreating figure, Sun Miaohan stomped her feet angrily, almost dragging out two pieces of clothing from her abdomen, frantically adjusting herself.

Hunter, just you wait!

——

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and the time for the Shaking Light Disc’s emergence was now imminent.

These days have been relatively calm; the anticipated Thunder King Salon and Hidden Needle did not come to attack, and the previous Ninja and Tao Zhenghao did not reappear.

Xiao Tian’s strategy was almost complete, except for the usual harassment from Sun Miaohan, everything else was as usual.

Feeling the increasing energy fluctuations in the surroundings, Xiao Tian said, "Looks like the Shaking Light Disc is about to emerge. Just a reminder, once the fighting starts, I won’t be able to look after you. If you die, lose limbs, or get hurt, it’s none of my responsibility!"

Based on Xiao Tian’s expectations, Sun Miaohan would explosively react and sarcastically counter.

However, to his surprise, Sun Miaohan’s eyes gleamed with happiness after hearing this: "Not bad, you’re starting to care for me; it seems like you’re close to falling in love with me!"

Xiao Tian was speechless; he couldn’t be sure of other things, but Sun Miaohan’s ability to tackle the situation humorously was top-notch, regardless of how dire things got.

After a moment, Sun Miaohan regained her composure and said, "Alright, enough joking, put your hand out."

"For what?!" Xiao Tian questioned, yet he still opened his left hand and placed it in front of Sun Miaohan.

Sun Miaohan’s pale hand suddenly emitted a brown light, then palm facing downward, she placed it on Xiao Tian’s hand, explained, "This is what I mentioned, the method to deal with that Thunder True Qi master."

With her words finished, Xiao Tian felt a strange power surge through his veins; his True Qi within instinctively rose up, attempting to assimilate the energy.

However, no matter how actively Xiao Tian’s True Qi resisted, it couldn’t stop the energy’s advance, let alone assimilate it.

The power originating from Sun Miaohan’s palm forcefully moved into the dantian’s center, quietly hovering in mid-air, showing no sign of the next action, nor any intent to combat the surrounding True Qi.

After all was done, without waiting for Xiao Tian to ask, Sun Miaohan began explaining, "Once you’re in battle with that Lightning True Qi master, when you see the opportunity to counterattack, move it to the center of the dantian."

"Afterwards, with the dantian’s operation, your True Qi Attribute will temporarily mutate, essentially making you invincible in-game style, immune to lightning attribute attacks."

Upon hearing Sun Miaohan’s explanation, Xiao Tian honed in on the key point and directly asked, "You mentioned temporary mutation, how long exactly?"

After a slight pause, Sun Miaohan answered, "Three minutes; if in those three minutes you can’t deal incapacitating damage, it’ll be your turn to suffer!"

Xiao Tian nodded, then asked, "For the treasure you previously gave me, does it need specific operating methods?"

"No need, but don’t forget my earlier reminder: make sure you have sufficient True Qi to sustain its operation." Saying this, Sun Miaohan patted Xiao Tian’s shoulder with the demeanor of an elder: "Good luck, it’s all up to you next!"

Xiao Tian swatted Sun Miaohan’s hand away: "Confident that I would willingly give you the Shaking Light Disc now?"

"Until the last moment, who wins or loses is anyone’s guess!" Sun Miaohan retorted defiantly.
