Given his current physical condition, he was in no position to face Mengdie. Feng Yi said so and prepared to turn around and take his chances. But of course, since the opponent had shown up, she wouldn't just let him leave. He was uncertain about the silent fangirl's intentions--it was hard to figure out. Would she be confused and mistakenly allow him to leave? With this in mind, Feng Yi prepared to turn around.

As he was about to turn around, Mengdie's hand moved stealthily in the void...

He had crossed swords with Mengdie before. This girl could condense moisture out of thin air into ice, which would probably be even more potent in the water-rich rainforest. Fortunately, he didn't feel any murderous intent from Mengdie, so he thought there was room for negotiation. He had to seize this one glimmer of hope, saying, "I know you might care about me, and I really care about you too. You wouldn't launch an actual attack on me, would you? Don't be so rigid—smile, let's end our grievances with a smile."

Having confirmed by her gaze that he couldn't beat her—at least not in his current state—he switched into girl-charming mode. To a girl as cold as Mengdie, Brother Feng was confident that with his sweet words and sugar-coated flattery, he could shatter her mental defenses. He didn't want to resort to that, but he had no choice in this moment. However, reality showed that he was too naive. His strategies didn't work on Mengdie, who made no response. But the droplets between her fingertips were condensing into more and more…

Dammit! Was this little girl really set on wiping him out? Upon seeing her stance, Feng Yi's heart tightened—he didn't want his reputation to be destroyed by this introverted girl. Panic-stricken, he quickly raised his hand to stop her, "Wait, don't attack yet. Whatever you want, say it, I'll agree to all."

Hearing this, Mengdie didn't continue to gather water droplets. She slowly withdrew her hand, but didn't completely stop her action. The butterfly-shaped water droplets around her spun continuously, as if she was always on guard against Feng Yi escaping.

Feng Yi, on the other hand, extended his hand in a placatory gesture, suggesting that they talk things out. As the saying goes, gentlemen use words, not fists. Why resort to violence when there was no need? He would never hit a lady, especially one he liked. His words contained a certain righteous and noble quality, "Beautiful, let's stop the attack. I believe you won't hurt me, and I hope you can trust me not to run away. Don't worry, I'm an educated man; I will not lie to you."

Mengdie was not easily deceived by Feng Yi. She stood still without a word, as if she was quietly waiting for the others to arrive. Even with her, Feng Yi's last sentence seemed to affect her, causing her to slightly squint her eyes and shake her head in disbelief…

"What, you don't trust me either?"

Hearing this, Mengdie nodded. Her sad eyes showed no emotion—it was as if she was saying that she would never trust him.

Feng Yi felt his heart sink. In this sweltering summer, his heart felt as freezing as a bitter winter evening. Finding himself in this situation, he felt an unexpected urge to compose a poem—he had been rejected.

However, in his mind, he was considering Eggy's previous speculations. Although this silent little girl was powerful, she also had many peculiar traits. She only nodded or shook her head and never spoke, except when she was forced into single combat with him in Galactic Warfare. This fully confirmed Eggy's speculation.

Yes, Eggy's speculation was… Although Mengdie's power as a water-based ability user stemmed from X Ability, in reality, she fed her soul with yin, exchanged her soul for qi, and turned qi into power. She didn't speak because she didn't want to waste the qi from her dantian by opening her mouth—it was the very foundation of her power.

Once he had the solution, he could see an opportunity. However, Mengdie hadn't attacked him recently. For the past few days, he had been feeling a kind of magnetic field—the same one that Mengdie was currently emitting. Although it was faint, he was certain that it was present in Mardis.

But it was different for the other four members of the Jade Clear Sect. He hadn't felt any other magnetic fields on them during this period. Why hadn't Mengdie targeted him yet? She should certainly know his physical condition and surely beating him would be easy. Or was she waiting for the other four to arrive and attack him all at once? That was unnecessary and would make things too complicated. Sometimes, Feng Yi didn't understand this bizarre girl. Notably, Mengdie's status was not the same as the other three. Although they had some similarities in their clothing, Mengdie did not act with the others. Instead, she acted alone with the enchanting woman—this made it even more clear that she was of the same status as the enchanting woman.

Looking at the situation at the moment, his high-speed escape must have completely shaken off the other four. However, it was absolutely impossible to shake off Mengdie. The only thing he could do now was to try his best to stall for time. Time was life. While it seemed insignificant, it often played a decisive role at critical moments. Now, what Feng Yi needed was to stall for as much time as possible to keep this little fangirl in the dark. As long as he could stall for time, there was a chance for victory—all the impossibilities could be possible. Even if it was for just a few minutes, he was sure the situation would reverse immediately. Why? The reason was simple. Feng Yi had already left the signal jamming area. When he left, he was not thinking about where to hide. He knew that no matter where he hid with his current state, it wouldn't help. The opponent could locate him using her mental ability.
