Chen Mo’s heartbeat was out of rhythm.
This demoness was like a contradiction of innocence and allure, the two qualities perfectly intertwined, like a budding flower, possessing both the purity of a fresh bloom and the allure of full blossom.
"So this is the surprise you prepared? Why were you hesitating just now?"
"I was a bit afraid..."
"Afraid of what?"
Gu Manzhi leaned against his chest, softly murmuring, "I just feel like all this is too illusory, it feels unreal, like a bubble that could burst at a touch. I’m just afraid it will all be a dream, like Mirror Flower Water Moon..."
Chen Mo could understand her sentiment.
Once mortal enemies, they had come this far, one could only say fate was playing tricks on them.
He didn’t say much, just silently held her tighter.
Gu Manzhi leaned against the firm chest, listening to the strong, powerful heartbeat, and gradually felt at ease.
The two of them quietly embraced, the atmosphere tranquil, threads of tenderness permeating the air.
After a long while, Gu Manzhi seemed to have made some kind of decision, her eyes became firm, and she softly asked, "Lord, would you be willing to brush my hair?"
?
Chen Mo found the question somewhat familiar and nodded, "Of course, I’d be willing."
"Okay."
Gu Manzhi bit her lip.
Slight hesitation, her fair hand dipped into the water, then she slowly sat down...
"Mmm..."
Her delicate brows furrowed, a flash of pain crossed her face.
Seeing Chen Mo’s surprised gaze, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes reflecting flickering light, and her rosy lips parted slightly:
"This is the real surprise I prepared for you, oh~"
...
The night was deep, the moonlight like water.
Ye Henshui flew over under the moonlight, her gray robe rustling.
She had just heard about the conflict at The Cloudwater Hall and rushed over without stopping.
Chen Mo had set a rule for her that any incidents must be reported immediately, and if something happened to Saintess Gu, she would also be punished... She didn’t want to be spanked by that guy!
Arriving at The Cloudwater Hall, Ye Henshui habitually didn’t use the main entrance.
Her form turned into a shadow, slipping through the window crevices into the inner chamber.
The tea room was empty, not a soul in sight.
Passing through the corridor, she came to the bedroom door, faintly hearing a conversation from inside.
"That sounds like Chen Mo’s voice?"
"Since he’s here too, there shouldn’t be anything wrong..."
Ye Henshui breathed a sigh of relief.
As she was about to leave, she suddenly felt something was off.
Leaning in to listen closely, she realized Gu Manzhi’s voice was trembling, as if she was on the verge of tears.
"Boo hoo, Lord, please don’t..."
"I... I can’t take it..."
Ye Henshui furrowed her brows tightly.
Was Chen Mo bullying the Holy Daughter?
How dare he lay hands on her, making the Holy Daughter cry?
