"Core Formation?"
Xinyao waved her hand and laughed as if she'd heard a joke. But her smile soon faded, replaced by a playful, teasing look.
"When you were at Foundation Establishment, I was afraid of hurting your confidence. I sealed my cultivation just to play with you. Did you really think I could be the Pavilion Master in the Western Region with just that much power?"
"Then... is Auntie at the Nascent Soul stage?" Yino prodded.
Xinyao kept smiling and said nothing.
"...Divine Transformation stage?"
Yino raised his expectations. Xinyao shook her head. She didn't want to explain. She just beckoned him with a finger, her eyes provocative.
"Talking is useless. Why don't I show you who's the boss today?"
"Otherwise, if I don't hit now, you'll think you can put your hands on me whenever you want!"
Her phoenix eyes dimmed. Yino was confused. Even if she was at the Divine Transformation stage, he had ancient artifacts. He was confident he could take her.
"Is that so..."
