The jade-like fingers gently poked his cheek, while she muttered softly:
"You look so refined, but when you get ruthless, you’re terrifying. You don’t know how to cherish women at all... You’re a big bad guy, I’ll poke you to death..."
"Between us, who is poking whom?" Chen Mo said with a smile.
"..."
Ye Henshui’s expression stiffened, then her eyes became blank as she groped around, pretending she was sleepwalking, and quietly turned her back to him.
Chen Mo reached out to pull her into his embrace. Her delicate body felt as if it had no bones, as soft and light as cotton candy.
"You dare attack me while I’m asleep? I think you’re asking for trouble."
"I didn’t, I’m not... not asking for trouble..."
Ye Henshui defended weakly.
Seeing Gu Manzhi still asleep nearby, she whispered, "Mr. Chen, stop it, the Holy Daughter is still here."
"Don’t you think that makes it more interesting?" Chen Mo said with a mischievous smile.
?
Soon, Ye Henshui understood what he meant by interesting.
By the window, Chen Mo stood tall, while Ye Henshui trembled all over, afraid of being discovered by those outside, so she had to bite hard on the gray robe.
Whenever she felt embarrassed or excited, her snow-white skin would turn a rosy hue, spreading all over, giving a kind of indescribable visual impact.
"Ooooh, Mr. Chen, the Holy Daughter is waking up..."
"I’m already awake."
From behind came Gu Manzhi’s quiet voice.
...
...
West City Gate.
Ji Lianxing, draped in a black robe, moved silently through the crowd.
After leaving the Imperial Music Bureau yesterday, she went to a temporary base set up outside the city, where she met with the sect’s steward to exchange information.
The Gu God Sect was completely finished, with only a few minor figures left.
Although Yin Tiankou was still alive, it was said he had lost his physical body, retaining only a tenth of his power, surviving in dark corners, barely even traceable, and the hope of obtaining a Gu Poison Worm from him was even slimmer.
"Now we can only proceed step by step."
"First, slowly establish a base, wait until the ’Gu Scripture’ is fully interpreted, learn the method to craft the Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect, then find a way to control some court officials, using their power to rebuild the sect, there’s still hope for a comeback..."
"As for revenge..."
Ji Lianxing sighed softly.
Whenever she thought of that incomparably powerful woman, a deep sense of helplessness filled her heart.
Unless she could gain the support of the Three Saint Sect, she feared that on her own, revenge would be forever out of reach...
"Chen Mo has a close relationship with Tianshu Pavilion, that might be a breakthrough, but how can I get him to genuinely help me?"
"Or rather, what value can I offer him?"
As Ji Lianxing pondered silently, she seemed to sense something, looking up to see a martial monk, tower-like and clad in white monk robes, brush past her, accompanied by a young monk in gray robes.
