Chapter 82 Mitigation

  Leaving Lian Cheng's place, she walked lightly in the courtyard, thinking about those people's attitudes made her both angry and amused. Although it is said that ignorance is bliss, but since they didn't believe her at first, they should have stuck to their own path until the end, now they're speaking nicely, finding this person to plead for them, finding that person to intercede, how embarrassing! She doesn't have such a big heart of kindness. If it weren't for Lian Cheng's pitiful appearance, would she be willing to put her hot face against someone else's cold buttocks? Now they're all coming to beg her, do they really think she has a good temper? Is there really that many people selling regret medicine in this world?

  "Mommy, don't be angry, Xi'er will give you a hug." He knew that as long as he coaxed her, his mommy's anger would definitely disappear.

  Looking at her baby son with big eyes, pouting his small mouth to coax her, she suddenly felt that it was not worth getting angry with them. Just look at how much her baby son knows how to be considerate of others, and her heart warmed up instantly.

  "Okay, Xi'er will give mom a big hug, and all of mom's troubles will disappear! After finishing breakfast, mom will take you out for a stroll, and we'll chase all the worries away." Ah, no matter how she looks at it, her son is the best - not only does he look handsome, but he also understands people's hearts, just like a little stove in her heart, always keeping her warm.

  But every time her mood just turned for the better, there would always be someone who came to disturb her!

  As soon as she stepped across the threshold, her arm was grabbed and then the precious son in her arms was "driven away", and she herself fell into the man's embrace.

  "Girl, why are you angry? Who made you angry, I'll help you take it out." As he said this, his eyes were full of gloom, only he could bully his girl, no one else was allowed!

  Being held in a man's arms, this made her feel very insecure. Looking down at his slightly flattened face, all her good mood vanished. "I said can you let me go first?"

  "Don't let go! What's wrong with giving you a hug?" He liked hugging the soft and fragrant little girl, thinking of this, he stole another kiss on those red lips, looking up at her impatient face, his heart felt itchy.

  "I don't like you holding me!" She struggled and kicked, but as before, she couldn't budge him in the slightest.

  "Don't move!" And so Moyu You hugged Qingkuang all the way to the table and sat down, while Xuanxi, who was ignored by him, glared at him with hatred and also sat down beside them. How annoying! Mother has been taken away again.

  "Tell me, why weren't you happy just now?" He had seen everything, but he insisted on hearing Xiaoyao's "grievances", which meant she acknowledged him. Thinking of this, he looked at her with hopeful eyes.

  "It has nothing to do with you."

  "What's wrong? I have to protect my little sister at all times." As she spoke, she poured a cup of water and fed it to the delirious person.

  "I'm not a kid!" She didn't need to be taken care of like this, it made her whole body feel uncomfortable, just like having ants crawling on her skin, scratching and scratching but couldn't scratch the itch, it was so annoying.

  "How can you not be a kid? In front of me, you're just a kid, hurry up and drink water!" He's lived for so many years, how old is this little girl? She's completely just a kid! Hmm, this old cow eating tender grass, seems to be getting a bit serious...

  The cup was raised to his lips, and the man didn't seem tired at all, just holding the cup with a faint smile as he looked at her. He let out a soft sigh for the nth time, lowered his head and drank the water, "Is this okay?"

  "Good girl! I'll give you a kiss as a reward." Seeing her with a small face, looking at herself with a drop of water on her lips, based on the principle of "not wasting", he directly licked it off, and his hands were not honest, rubbing and pinching.

  "I've told you I'm not a kid anymore!" What's with the "good girl", what's with the reward, what's with the kiss? Those were all things she used to coax her daughter. How shameless can this man be? She was about to go crazy!

  "Alright, alright, don't be angry, or you won't look pretty anymore." Someone was still adding fuel to the fire, and she was so angry that her teeth itched. Whose fault could this be?"

  "Mom, eat and then go out." Alas, mom is being bullied, he should help her!

  "Is Xi'er hungry? Mother will go make breakfast right away." Qing Huang suddenly woke up with a start, her precious son was still hungry! How did she get entangled with this person again?

  Struggling for a moment, she crossed her arms over her chest and said harshly to him, "Didn't you hear that my son is hungry? Let go of him!"

  Glared at the little innocent-looking person beside him, Mo Jiu reluctantly put her down. The little girl was very particular about eating and would spend a lot of thought making something good for every meal, all for that little thing. Thinking of this, his heart felt unbalanced again. He patted her lightly on the butt and instructed her, "Hurry up and go, I'll continue to hold you when you come back."

  Never forgets to take advantage of her, damn cheap man!

  Filled with anger, she finished cooking the meal. Just as she was about to feed her son, the man suddenly picked her up and sat her on his lap, holding her tightly. "What else do you want? Now it's my turn to feed our son!"

  "You feed yours, I hold mine, if you don't eat, forget it." The little girl was really too small, held in his arms, her feet couldn't even touch the ground. But why did he cherish her so much? Look at those eyebrows, look at those eyes, and that rosy little mouth, everything about her was beautiful! Especially when she had tears in her eyes, she looked even more lovely, just thinking about it made him feel hot.

  "Hey!" The unreasonable and smelly man, picked up a chopstick of vegetables to feed his son, then her hand froze, and with a "slap", she slammed the bowl onto the table. "Can you for once not...?"

  "Okay, okay, don't get angry! I'm bearing with it, I'm bearing with it, hurry up and feed me already...!" Mo Jiu's mouth was saying this, but look at her hand still wandering around his waist! The man thought to himself, "If I ever lose interest in you, that's when you'll really have something to cry about!"

  "Mom ~ ah ~" Someone stirred up the fire, and someone had to put it out. Xuan Xi pulled her sleeve, opened his mouth, waiting for her to feed him.

  She suppressed the anger in her heart, gently picked up the bowl again and fed her precious son. After she had fed Xuan Xi full, and wiped his little mouth clean, her emotions gradually calmed down, but unexpectedly even greater hardships were waiting for her!

  The little thing has finished eating, but his sister is still hungry! Thinking of this, he also learned to feed her mouthfuls of food, "Sister, ah~"

  Looking at the dishes in front of her, she shifted her gaze to the man's face and suddenly felt that she couldn't swallow anything. "I won't eat!"

  "You have to eat or you'll starve, that's why I say humans are so much trouble." The food in his hand was pushed forward again, and this feeling of "taking care" of someone was something he had never experienced before, it was quite refreshing!

  "I won't eat!"

  "If you don't eat, you're not allowed to go anywhere! Be obedient, open your mouth, ah~"

  She promised her son she would go out in a bit, how could this guy stop her? "I have hands, I can feed myself."

  "No way, I'll feed you."

  "Are you annoyed or what? I said I ate it myself!" Qingkuang seemed to understand, this man was born just to torment her!

  "Open your mouth, ah~" The man took her words as nothing but a whisper in his ear and continued on his own.

  The two of them stood still for a while, and finally Liang couldn't help but put the food into his mouth, crunching away loudly.

  "Don't get angry, getting angry while eating is bad for the body, humans are really fragile." As a demon, Mo Jiu You naturally had an innate sense of superiority, if it weren't for the little girl in front of him, would he have gone to so much trouble?

  She's furious because of who? Isn't it because of you, this despicable man? Yet in the end, she was turned around and became the one at fault. Alright, I'll give you credit! You're ruthless!

  After finishing a dull breakfast, she didn't want to stay in the house for another moment, so she picked up her son and left the yard without looking back.

  Until they reached the bustling street, Qingkuang finally let out a breath of relief. Indeed, there was no cheap man around, and even the air felt free. Thinking about this, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. Xuanyi looked at Qingkuang, then glanced behind him, he really wanted to say, Mother, you're rejoicing too early!

  "Xiao Er, do you want to eat something?" Just now she was too busy being angry and didn't eat well, it's all that man's fault.

  "It's all good"

  All the way, the streets are full of snacks and many shops selling miscellaneous goods. The crowd is bustling, people coming and going, very lively. The mother and son looked around, saw a wonton stall not far away, there were still many people, and Qingkong also walked over.

  "Boss, bring me a big bowl of wonton noodles."

  "Okay, wait a minute!" The stall isn't big, but there are many people, so the taste must be good!

  She picked up the tea on the table, washed all the bowls and chopsticks clean, thought for a moment, and with so many people coming and going, she still used her own! She took out her own bowl and chopsticks from space, and only then did she feel at ease.

  "Hey, sir, your big bowl of wonton soup is here." The waiter skillfully dodged and weaved to her table, the soup hadn't spilled a single drop, showing that he was an old hand at this.

  It was a cool breeze, but when the hot air drilled into her nostrils, she was slightly stunned, and then her face turned icy. Looking around at the people chatting and laughing, they all seemed like ordinary folks, and after finishing their meal, they left with unchanged expressions. So, it seemed that only her bowl had a problem? Who would want to harm her? Was it the same group as last night?

  "Mother?"

  "Let's go, we won't eat here anymore. Boss, leave the crystal coins here, we have an urgent matter to attend to, and take this bowl with us too." After saying that, she didn't care about his response, picked up her son and left.

  Feeling the breath of someone following closely behind, a burst of violent energy erupts. When walking into a secluded alley, with a light "pa" sound, that bowl of cloudy liquid was smashed to pieces. At first, there was no reaction, but after a while, a red smoke emerged, and the soup water continued to bubble up. It turned out to be "Meiren Chimu"! Meiren Chimu is a type of chronic poison, slowly eroding a person's internal organs, eventually leading to death due to bodily decline, with no discernible cause. But if the dosage is increased, it accelerates the speed of death. Now, someone actually wants to use this poison on her? Seeking death!

  "Come out!" A turn, lightly gazing at the empty alley, eyes gradually dyed with madness. If it weren't for today's Yun Tun hot air, she would have blown it away, according to her usual habit, and fed it to her son long ago. Thinking of this, the killing intention is fully revealed.

  Suddenly, ten black-clad men emerged, all of whom were vigilantly staring at her. Unexpectedly, her defense was so strong, and she could even detect poison immediately. It seemed that she was indeed an alchemist! In that case, this person must not be allowed to stay!

  "A dead man? Then there's nothing more to say." People like that won't reveal anything even if she interrogates them, so it's better to just take action directly.

  At the same time, an even more powerful aura of tyranny arrived, and those black-clothed men who often walked on the edge of death couldn't help but shiver involuntarily as they looked at this person who had suddenly appeared.

  "Yaotou, is anything wrong?" Mo Jiu Yu anxiously looked at her and pulled her into his arms for a close examination. Originally, he was just about to buy back all the things Yaotou had seen earlier, if it were just one step later, he would never forgive himself, nor would he forgive the humans who dared to poison his family's Yaotou. Looking at the few people in front of him, his eyes were filled with red light.

  "You're looking for death! Is my servant also someone you can bully?" How dare such a lowly human hurt the person he cares about, unforgivable! With a swift motion, his hand turned into a claw and pulled the leader over, extracting all the information from him. Then, with a squeeze, the person was reduced to dust. The remaining nine people retreated cautiously, who is this person? How terrifying! How can someone kill without even leaving a corpse behind?

  Want to run? Too late! Mo Jiu's eyes gleamed with a fierce and brutal light as he gazed at them, his large hand making a slight squeezing motion, and the nine people all vanished into this alley, leaving nothing behind.

  Looking at the ten people in front of her, they were annihilated in the blink of an eye and disappeared like molecules. She had to reevaluate this man's strength again, it seemed that previously they were just playing around?

  "Girl, you absolutely cannot come to harm. If anything happens to you, I will destroy the entire world and bury it with you!" His tyrannical words revealed his determination. Little girl was the only warmth in his heart. If someone were to ruin her, he would make everyone accompany him in living in hell! He tightly wrapped his arms around her slender waist, and Mo Jiu's devout kiss landed on her crimson lips. It's good, it's good, she's still in front of him, he can still hold her in his arms, and he can still feel her warmth.

  Her heart was severely struck, was she that important? Needed to be buried with the whole world. Lightly gazing at the man getting closer and closer, the deep affection in his eyes made her unnaturally dodge, closing her eyes, the man's breath was right in front of her, a warmth on her lips, tenderly caressing her, also trying to insert his tongue into her mouth, her mouth felt itchy, Lightly uncomfortably slightly opened her mouth, and was immediately taken advantage of by the man.

  "Little girl, isn't it good to go back to the Demon Realm with me?" He pulled her away, Mo Jiu You gazed at those gradually opening eyes, which only reflected him with a watery sheen.

  Dispel all the thoughts in my mind, a little dazed and confused, how did I get bewildered? But whether or not to go to the Devil's Realm was already concluded in her heart, irreversible. "I won't go!"

  "Alright, don't go, I'll stay here with you." Mo Jiu Yu patted her little face and patiently coaxed her.

  "I'm not a child, don't speak to me like that!"

  "In front of me, you are just a child, the treasure that I hold in my palm and cherish." Such doting words didn't seem like something that the mighty ruler of the demon realm could say.

  Goosebumps all over his body, his hair standing on end, he flung him off with a mixture of fright and embarrassment, "I didn't!"

  "Alright, you're not, aren't you?!" He just needed to be clear with himself.

  "You're back again!" This guy is always so shameless, no matter what you say he never listens!

  Looking at her angry little face, Mo Jiu couldn't help but feel delighted, however, thinking of the memories he extracted, his expression suddenly turned solemn, and he asked in a questioning tone, "Which prince did you offend?"

  Crown Prince? She had a run-in with him before! Is he the one who sent this person?

  "Just now, the mission of those humans was to kill you. If they couldn't, then they were going to destroy your hands." Grabbing her slender hand, Mo Jiu Yu kissed each finger one by one. How could such beautiful hands be allowed to be destroyed?

  She indeed had an unpleasant encounter with the Crown Prince of Lou Nan, and it's understandable that he killed her. After all, she not only humiliated him but also touched his reverse scales and even pulled them out and trampled on them a few times. If it were her, she wouldn't tolerate such a person either. But why did he have to ruin her hands?

  Mo Jiu Yu bit her middle finger and wouldn't let go. Seeing her doubts, she kindly explained, "Because you are an alchemist."

  Upon hearing this, Qingkong gazed at Mo Jiu You with a hint of surprise. Although he didn't know how the other had found out, it all made sense now. Ruining her hand was just to prevent her from participating in the Alchemist's competition; so, the previous incident of harming Lian Cheng must have also been orchestrated by Lou Nan Taizi! This was no longer a personal vendetta but an imperial struggle for dominance. Did they think Lou Nan Empire could monopolize power? How ridiculous! She had a bad temper, and the more someone tried to stop her from doing something, the more she'd insist on doing it. Not allowing her to participate? Ha! She would shine brighter than ever, dazzling everyone's eyes, and not rest until Lou Nan Taizi was dealt with!

  A sharp pain shot through his hand, and he glared at Mo Jiu You fiercely, "Why did you bite me?"

  "I'm not biting, I just adore you, I wish I could gobble you up!" Just look at that coquettish gaze of hers, it's really captivating! It makes him feel all ticklish and itchy.

  "Pervert!" He withdrew his hand, and there was still a numb and sore feeling from being bitten! No wonder he's the big demon king, always thinking about how to eat people.

  "Hey, are you done strolling around or not? If not, let's head back!" There were too many people outside, he didn't like it. If they went back inside, he could do whatever he wanted without any reservations. As he thought this, his hand also casually pinched the soft flesh on her waist.

  She elbowed him in the chest and said with a hint of annoyance, "If you don't let me go, how can I leave?"

  "Isn't this easy?" With that, he scooped up the person and vanished into thin air in this small alley.

  When Qing Kuang opened his eyes again, what he saw was her room. Looking at the person still holding her, he struggled and said, "Don't you let me go?"

  "Let go, I didn't say not to let go, look at this stuff." Reluctantly putting her down, with a wave of his large hand, the room was filled with many things. "Here, everything you saw earlier I bought for you, it's a gift."

  Silk, satin, and damask, all kinds of snacks, masks, sugar people, everything is available. She didn't look at these things just now! But why does she want this man's stuff?

  "I don't want to."

  Originally expecting praise, Mo Jiu's expression changed in an instant. "Why not? Don't you like it? What do you want then? Whatever it is that you want, I'll find it for you."

  "I don't want your stuff."

  "Silly girl, how can I not? My girl should have the best, use the best." Hmm, let's not bother with these things from the mortal realm for now. When he returns to the demon realm, we'll see what rare treasures there are to give her.

  "I don't want it anyway!" What has she become? This is a matter of principle. Originally, things were unclear, and now wanting her stuff would be equivalent to acknowledging their relationship! I'd rather die than take it!

  "You say you don't want me to get angry, even if you don't want it, but can't you take good care of my Dragon Ring?" As she spoke, she grabbed her wrist and gently wiped it, and the Dragon Ring immediately appeared.

  "That's what you forced on me, now take it off for me." She tried every way but couldn't get it off. Fortunately, the man was there too, and quickly took it off, so she could calm down.

  "No, what I give you is yours. When have I ever asked for something back? Wear it well and take care of yourself, you're still too weak. I want you to live a good life!" Mo Jiao Yu tidied up her sleeves and put her hand down again, focusing on looking at her.

  Facing his gaze, she let out an unnatural light cough, "Cough, I have something to do, I'll go first." She clenched her fists, loosening and tightening them repeatedly several times before calming down and preparing to leave.

  "Alright, I'll wait for you. Won't you give me a goodbye kiss?" He pulled her into his own arms, Mo Jiu gazing at her with a hint of playful mystery.

  "Get out of my sight!" She even gave him a goodbye kiss, not like she wasn't coming back. She rolled her eyes at him, took the medicine for Lian Cheng, and went to find someone to talk about participating in the competition. Faintly, a man's muffled laughter could still be heard from behind, laughing and laughing, what a joke!

  Xuan Xi kept watching the two of them interact, and asked uncertainly, "Mother, do you like him?"

  She paused, looking at her son's serious face, thinking about how to respond. The overbearing, humiliation, and torment when she first met the man; then his strong possessiveness towards her confession; and now he was like a shameless dog, always taking advantage of her, forcing her to be happy, sharing a bed with him; the man was constantly pressuring her, invading her life, forcing her to accept; and earlier, his heroic rescue, his vows, his loving gaze... did she like it? No, no, she didn't! This way of living without freedom, without self, where everything was interfered with by others, she couldn't accept no matter what. She should be a soaring eagle in the sky, not a canary that had lost all its spirit, locked in a cage. She refused to be bound and couldn't be bound!

  "Mother doesn't like that." Dispelling the strange feeling in her heart, she gently laughed and said, "Mother only likes you alone." After finishing speaking, she still continued to tease his weak points.

  Xuan Xi sneered with a hint of mockery, her eyes gleaming with a reddish light. "Ha! Even if you're the Demon King himself, what's the point? Even if you've been clinging to her all this time, what's the use? Mother will never like you, and everything is just a waste of your effort."

  In Lian Cheng's house, everyone did not disperse. You looked at me with a worried face, and I looked at you, so worried that we couldn't even eat our meals.

  "What's a good way to deal with her, you guys are more familiar with her?" Shen Jun tapped the table impatiently. After discussing for an entire morning, they still couldn't come up with a good solution. Even if he used his position as dean, he couldn't force someone like Yaoyue. Trying to persuade her with emotions and reason didn't work either - that child was completely unmoved. What were they supposed to do? He clearly couldn't make up his mind.

  Everyone's eyes were on her, and Xi Men Ruo Xue waved her hands repeatedly, "Don't look at me, don't look at me, you mustn't look at me, I also can't...haven't..."

  "Or shall we grant her some conditions?" a mentor said uncertainly.

  "You're not as selfish as I thought!"

  "Then give her a position in the college?"

  "Lightning isn't someone who seeks fame and fortune after all!"

  "I see she's very fond of that child, why don't we..."

  "If anyone dares to touch that child, I'll make sure they die without a whole corpse!"

  "Xī Mén Lín Shuāng!" The one who had just spoken up was now furious, glaring at him.

  "No, no, don't look... I... I can't help it, I really can't..." While saying this, she shrinks into her chair, trying to reduce her presence.

  "Director, I think it's best to give up! Unless she changes her mind herself, there's no point in us saying anything." Beitang Qimò also looked at everyone with a helpless expression, and that arrogant personality of hers was clearer than ever.

  *sigh*...

  She walked to the door, faintly hearing the conversation inside, although it involved her, but what's the big deal, she should do whatever she wants, no need to care about others' thoughts.

  "Lightly mad? How did you come back again?" Ximen Qingfeng's sharp eyes caught sight of her, and he exclaimed in surprise.

  "Come and give Lian Cheng his medicine." Under everyone's watchful eyes, she walked directly in front of Lian Cheng, without any extra expression on her face.

  "Lightly mad..." Lian Cheng looked at her, unsure of how to start speaking, he was afraid of offending her, and afterwards they wouldn't even be able to remain friends.

  "This is the last time, tomorrow at this time take off the gauze, wash it clean and I guarantee you'll be as good as new." His hands didn't stop moving, gently and carefully focused on his hand.

  "Thanks..." He swallowed the prepared words back into his stomach, he was a patient now, let others worry about those annoying things! Thinking of this, his heart suddenly felt at ease.

  "Cough, cough...cough, cough..." Shen Jun pretended to cough a few times, trying to attract Qing Kuang's attention. However, he found that the other party didn't even give him a glance, and suddenly felt extremely embarrassed.

  Ignorant humans! Xuan Xi flipped her eyes and took out the jade pendant from her neck to play with it.

  After changing the medicine, he washed his hands clean and looked at them lightly, saying, "I'm going to participate in the alchemist competition tomorrow, does anyone have any opinions?"

  Everyone in the house held their breath, looking at her incredulously after hearing this. Was she agreeing? How could she agree so readily? Weren't they too old and hard of hearing or something?

  "Ah! Qing Kuang, are you telling the truth?" Ximen Ruxue jumped in front of her, looking at her with doubt.

  "Do you have an opinion?"

  "How could it be? Of course not, no..."

  "Cough, that, lightly crazy, you can participate in it would be great." Shen Jun was no longer awkward, smiled with satisfaction, what a good kid, knows how to share worries for others.

  "But you weren't just..."

  "Some people wanted to stop me from participating, but I'm a stubborn person." As soon as the words came out, the instructors present couldn't sit still anymore, they had agreed, really agreed!

  "You can't kill me, and you still want to ruin my hands like Lian Cheng? Dream on! Since someone is looking for abuse, if I don't strip him of a few layers of skin, it would be a pity for him!" As she said this, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, and she truly looked forward to tomorrow's arrival.

  This doesn't sound right at all! It's as if he wasn't talking to them. The instructors were perplexed.

  "Are you saying that the person who previously hurt Lian Cheng's mentor is now targeting you?" After pondering her words for a moment, he suddenly understood what she meant.

  "Are you okay? You're not hurt, are you?" Others also looked at her with concern. Since there's no wall that doesn't leak air in this world, who exactly leaked out her secret?

  "Of course I'm fine, it's those people who are asking for trouble." Thinking of those people being crushed to pieces and scattered between heaven and earth, she couldn't help but think of that overbearing man and his intense gaze. Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat - what was she thinking? How did her mind wander there?

  Seeing her complexion was off, Ximen Qing still wasn't at ease. "Li Cu, you really are okay? If something's wrong, you must tell us!"

  "I'm fine." Suppressing all her thoughts, she had come only to change Liang Cheng's dressing and incidentally inform them of her own decision.

  "Little guy, do you know who the culprit is that hurts people behind their backs?" Now it's clear that someone is specifically targeting the Imperial Academy! Shen Jun couldn't help but sink into thought, weighing the severity of the matter.

  "Some people don't even mind starting wars between empires, what do I have to be afraid of?" With a cold laugh, he walked away with his usual swagger, not even bothering to greet these people, and carried his son off.

  "A war between empires?" Ximen Yunfeng furrowed his brow, this would make things serious.

  "It seems that it's no longer just our Imperial Academy's matter, I'll go and discuss with the deans of other academies now." With that, Shen Jun stood up and also left.

  The rest of the people were also in deep thought, thinking about all sorts of consequences. After all, their family's influence had also infiltrated other countries. If they really fought, would it affect them?

  Mo Jiu You looked at the good girl who had just gone out, and hurried back in a huff. She began to regret not following her, and quickly comforted her, "What's wrong?"

  "Don't hug me!" Since she wouldn't accept it, everything had to be strangled in the cradle.

  "Let me see, who made my little girl angry? Hmm?" Just as she was about to step forward and hug the person in her arms, Qing Kuang retreated several steps back.

  "I don't like you!" She brushed away the hand that was about to touch her little face, and she's getting annoyed now!

  The movement in her hand paused, Mo Jiu Yu was not deterred at all, and said helplessly, "I know, now tell me why you're angry, is it the person from just now or that prince? If you're not happy, I'll help you take care of it right now, okay?"

  "I don't need you! I can handle it myself."

  "Alright, you handle it yourself." Wait until you can't handle it, then I'll help. While coaxing her, he quietly got closer to her and gave her a big hug.

  "Why are you hugging me again? I told you not to touch me!"

  "Stop messing around, what's wrong with a hug? You were just letting me hold you and kiss you earlier! How can you suddenly turn your back on me like this?" He couldn't figure it out, how could this woman's thoughts be so unpredictable, one moment it was sunny and the next it was raining, she wasn't satisfied no matter what he did, where had he gone wrong?

  "I say no and it's no, let me go!" She still wants to familiarize herself with the medicinal herbs, after all, she has a pharmacist competition tomorrow!

  "Then don't let go!"

  "You scoundrel!"

  "It's not just one or two days!" Mo Jiu was very nonchalant and relaxed in front of Xiao Yatou.

  "You're a demon, how dare you be so shameless?"

  "I didn't say no, you do what you want, I'll just hold mine."

  The gloom in her heart rose again, and she didn't even know if being so angry all the time would make her age faster. She put Jing'er aside to play, dragging the big thing behind her, helplessly tidying up the herbs.

  It's clear that Xuan Xi has been quiet for a long time and is now resorting to clever tricks. He can't always be so overbearing towards his mother, after all!

  "Mom... Xi'er also wants to learn about medicinal herbs..."

  "Hmm? Does Ye'er want to learn too? Well, it's good that he has many skills and won't be held back. She can't accompany her son for his entire life anyway, so it's better to teach him more skills. However, she doesn't know that the demonic tribe is inherently powerful, making these trivial things unnecessary for them."

  Holding her son's small hand, Qingkuang took out all the medicinal herbs from the spatial ring and asked him a few simple questions. To her surprise, the little boy answered them accurately without any mistakes. Qingkuang was delighted, thinking that her son was indeed the best, and that he had learned so much just by being around her!

  The whole afternoon was spent in this warm and beautiful atmosphere, with the patient voice of explanation in the house, the serious answers of the children's voices, and occasionally a few dissatisfied voices would come, but they were all ignored by the mother and son.

  At night, Qingkuang lay on the bed, carefully recalling all the processes of alchemy in her mind. When a big hand reached for her chest, she ruthlessly pushed it away. The man paused for a moment, then continued to pounce again, only to be slapped away once more.

  "What's wrong with you?" Only Mo Jiu could say something so straightforward and confident.

  "Don't touch."

  "No, I just like it." Punishment seemed to pinch her a bit, and even though she glared at him, he didn't mind, as long as he felt comfortable in his heart. He still held onto her earlobe, making sucking noises.

  Her face was burning with anger and her ears were hot and swollen, how could she be so helpless against this man? And to make matters worse, he was now rubbing it in her face.

  Stop putting your hands on my waist, your uneven breathing is making me uncomfortable. "Don't always do this, I don't like it."

  "You'll get used to it slowly." Turning over, he grasped her slender hand in his, feeling the soft and boneless touch, wrapping her hand around his waist, kissing her neck, just as she was about to dodge, he bit down heavily.

  "Hmm..."

  He flipped over and pressed down on her body, Mo Jiu's eyes gleaming with a fierce light as he gazed at her, his tender kiss landing on her lips.

  "Xī ěr..."

  "He won't wake up." How could he let someone ruin his good fortune? A delicious meal was right in front of him, and he couldn't wait to swallow it down.

  "I don't want to... need..." The rest of the words were blocked in her mouth, and a light, crazy thought began to drift away. How did things become like this between them? It shouldn't be like this!

  "Girl, girl, my girl..." He covered her entire body with his own breath, Mo Jiu gently stroking the mark on her shoulder, wondering what the overflowing feeling in his heart was. He didn't know, this feeling had never happened before, yet it made him so nostalgic. Picking her up, looking at that head of beautiful hair swaying with the movement, he became even more enchanted. Pulling those slender arms to wrap around his neck, pressing this delicate body towards himself, taking a deep breath, all was the little girl's scent.

  "Girl, you're not indifferent to me, are you?" The man buried his face in her chest, muttering to himself.

  Gazing at the moonlight outside the window, she is a little bewildered. Does she have any feelings? What should it be? Disgust? Hatred? Reverence? Admiration for the strong?

  "Look, you're not rejecting me now, no longer as confrontational as before. Can I assume that my shadow is already in your heart?" He raised his head, Mo Jue's eyes gleaming with a piercing gaze, solely for that one answer.

  "I don't know..." She was also conflicted now, the hurt from before wasn't something that could be turned over with just a page turn, and her emotions weren't so easily handed over either. But this man had forcefully squeezed into her life, no matter how hard she tried to get rid of him, she didn't know what to do anymore.

  "There is, you must have, I can feel it, I really can feel it. Don't deny me, don't deny...". The urgent words seemed to prove something, the man kept tightening his arms, even if it was just to fulfill that one thread of hope in his heart.

  "Don't be like this, I really don't want..." She pushed away the person in front of her, but was blocked by his strength.

  "Girl, my girl, I want you..." He spread her beautiful legs apart, the man was obviously unstoppable.

  Suddenly, the movement stopped, and anger surged in his eyes. The thing that didn't dare to look up was just about to move when it was pulled back.

  "Leave their corpses behind, I'm not just going to make a scene, I'll make it big!"

  "As long as it's what Yatou said, it's fine." Mo Jiu's movements paused for a moment, and upon hearing her words, his large hand swung down, followed by the sound of thuds and bodies falling to the ground. The air outside the house gradually filled with the smell of blood.

  Her mind was a mess, with the Alchemist's competition tomorrow, the matter of Cheng City, the assassin, and the Crown Prince Lou Nan all piling up at once. But what made her feel like she couldn't breathe was this man on top of her, dodging his kisses, her heart in turmoil.

  "What's wrong?" Mo Jiu whispered, didn't all the annoying things disappear?

  "I really don't want to today." She said, staring into his eyes. Every time she had been intimate with a man, her body would feel uncomfortable afterwards. This body was still too small and couldn't withstand it, and there were things to do tomorrow anyway!

  Mo Jiu Yu gazed into her eyes, and the bright eyes stared back at him. He let out a sigh, fiercely kissing her lips, his tongue entwining with hers before reluctantly pulling away, suppressing his desire. However, he couldn't help but hold onto her still.

  Taking a few deep breaths, she finally calmed down. Although it was astonishing that the man could endure it, for her, it was a good thing.

  "Don't look at me again, go to sleep!" He had barely endured it, he couldn't take the little girl staring straight at him, which would burn his last remaining sanity.

  Cut, you're allowed to look at me, but I'm not allowed to look at you. If I don't look, then I won't look! With a gentle arrogance, she closed her eyes and leaned against the man's chest, gradually falling asleep, only her tightly furrowed eyebrows slowly relaxing.

  Gently stroking the back of her head, just thinking about her "pleading" gaze at him made his heart feel like it had been brushed by a feather, all ticklish. So even if he wanted to do something more, he couldn't help but agree with her. Looking down at the small face nestled against his chest, he gently smoothed out the hair covering her face and planted a soft kiss on her forehead. "Sleep tight, my little one..."

  The next morning, she opened her sleepy eyes to find the man's chest in front of her. Her mind was only dazed for a moment before she reacted and secretly regretted how careless she had been. She couldn't believe she had actually fallen asleep in his arms, forgetting that he was a wolf who was always thinking about eating meat. She realized that since meeting this man, she had become less and less like herself.

  He lifted up her sulky little face, gazing at her rosy cheeks as she slept, and Mo Jiu gave her a gentle morning kiss before helping her get dressed.

  "I'll wear it myself." He reached out to grab his own clothes, but of course didn't succeed.

  "Don't move! Hands up." When sleeping together, he never allowed the little girl to wear clothes. Firstly, it was for his own pleasure, enjoying the smooth touch; secondly, it was convenient for him to do things. So now, early in the morning, he could still see such a beautiful scene! The naked little girl was his, and thinking about it, how did he feel so accomplished?

  Just as Mo Jiu Yu was about to tie his belt after hugging him, a burst of screams came from outside.

  "What's going on here?"

  "They're all dead, one hit kill."

  "Ah ah ah, Qing Kuang, are you okay? Are you alright?" Ximen Ruxue anxiously shouted and started banging on the door.

  "Simen Xuefeng, if you dare to rush in again, I'll skin you alive!"

  "Oh, I won't go in, I'll wait for you outside, hurry up and come out...” Ximen Qingfeng, who was standing outside the door, suddenly stopped and thought about how every time he rushed in, she was always just waking up, still disheveled and half-dressed. If he really angered her, he shuddered at the thought of getting beaten up and leaving with his tail between his legs.

  Her mouth hurt, and she glared fiercely at the man, why was he biting her again?

  "You are mine." The man, even if only in words, had to declare his dominance. He didn't like those people outside always surrounding Xiaoyu. He picked her up and licked the corner of her mouth that he had bitten, the metallic taste of blood arousing his ferocity even more. Suddenly, he didn't want to let her go.

  What's wrong with this guy? Pat his hand and hint that there are still people outside, don't be too excessive!

  Put the person down, tidied up her clothes, tied all the straps, and pinched her chest with a dissatisfied look, was stared back at fiercely, before reluctantly "disappearing".

  Luckily I didn't do it last night, otherwise everyone would have known what happened in the house this morning. The door opened and several people looked at her with concern.

  "You've finally shown up, what's going on with these people?"

  Walked to the side of those corpses, lightly crouched down and checked one by one. All were found with their throats cut off, the size, length and force of the wounds were exactly the same. The clothes they wore were the same as the person who assassinated her in the alley yesterday.

  "It's just like what you see!"

  "They came to kill you, and then were killed by you?"

  "Close enough!"

  "You're really bold! With so many dead bodies outside, you can still sleep soundly for a night. An ordinary girl would have been scared out of her wits! You're ruthless! You're awesome! I worship you!" Ximen Lingfeng gave a thumbs up, this carefree attitude was truly too cool!

  "You're so reckless! When you encountered something like this, why didn't you look for us?" Huangfu Mingbo scolded her, fortunately nothing happened, if something had happened it would have been too late.

  "What about these bodies now?"

  "Official business! I'd like to see what happens, how he'll explain this to me!" Hmph! She doesn't bother with trivial matters, that's her magnanimity. But once she starts to care, she won't rest until several people are dragged down with him, only then will the matter be settled!
