Suddenly, Mu Qingge developed a keen interest in the power divisions on the Divine Demon Continent.
However, Si Mo said, "When you enter the Divine Demon Continent, I’ll tell you more. For now, just tell me if you want these two puppets."
Want! Of course, I want them!
These two are simply unbeatable fighters!
However, she still had some questions in her mind. She said to Si Mo, "Once they awaken, will they simply follow my orders, or will they have some capacity for thought? How much of their skills from life, apart from their realm, will they retain? Most importantly, they belonged to different factions when alive. Will they brawl upon waking up?" She worried that rather than obtaining the puppets, her space would be destroyed by these gods and demons from tens of thousands of years ago.
Si Mo gazed at her, affection showing in his eyes. He said, "Fussing needlessly."
Mu Qingge was taken aback. How was she fussing unnecessarily?
Upon rethinking, she finally understood.
If her concerns were valid issues, Si Mo wouldn’t have brought her here. Which meant her worries were unfounded!
Thinking this way, Mu Qingge’s heart filled with anticipation.
"What needs to be done?" she proactively asked Si Mo.
Si Mo replied, "To forge a puppet requires Abnormal Fire, the master’s heart blood, and the activation by a God or Demon at the Saint Realm. All three conditions are indispensable, and you happen to possess them all."
His eyes were exceptionally bright, deep like the vast starry sky. Yet, that starry sky was filled not with cold solitude but with endless affection.
Mu Qingge was momentarily dazed, even though she had long been accustomed to Si Mo’s appearance, she still found herself occasionally stunned by his allure.
"Will it harm your body?" Mu Qingge murmured.
Her voice seemed like a mesmerized whisper. Yet, the content of her words made Si Mo momentarily surprised before bursting into laughter.
He pulled Mu Qingge into his embrace, feeling his heartbeat and breath.
"Indeed, you are the woman I’ve chosen," Si Mo said cryptically, making Mu Qingge confused.
She raised her head and met Si Mo’s gaze from below. His eyes glittered with fragmented starlight, so gentle it threatened to drown her.
Despite the circumstances, her Little Ge’er was worried about his body, which made him exceedingly gratified and deeply touched.
It seemed there had never been anyone who cared about him like this before.
His father?
Heh, that man indulged in beauty all day long and probably didn’t even remember he had a son.
His mother?
That persistent woman burned herself for love, only saying "sorry" to him before she died.
And his siblings?
What was left between them, apart from vying for the King’s position?
Si Mo’s lips held a faint smile, with cold indifference in his eyes, merging before Mu Qingge. He recalled childhood events, memories of oppression and torment, and his past escapes.
Tens of thousands of years, he had long grown accustomed to being alone.
But now, gazing at the woman in his arms, he realized his heart was beating.
With a large hand, he pressed Mu Qingge’s head against his chest. Si Mo’s chin rested atop Mu Qingge’s hair, inhaling her fragrance. In a low, magnetic voice, he slowly said above her head, "Little Ge’er, thank you for appearing beside me."
If he were to lose her, he too would cease to exist!
The man’s sudden melancholy made Mu Qingge inexplicably feel heartache.
Yet, before she could offer a few words of comfort, that trace of melancholy vanished.
Si Mo was still that overwhelmingly powerful Si Mo, the man who, even if he sealed everything related to her, could instantly recognize her, never letting himself down!
She leaned into the man’s embrace, a smile appearing on her lips, inwardly saying, "Si Mo, thank you for appearing beside me. And not letting go despite my countless refusals."
She dared not imagine what she would lose if they missed each other!
Si Mo said, "Little Ge’er, don’t worry. Though I can’t use Spiritual Power now, my cultivation remains. Activating two puppets isn’t a big deal."
Even though he said that, Mu Qingge still shook her head in refusal. "Let’s wait until you fully recover."
Si Mo frowned, still wanting to persuade her.
But Mu Qingge raised her hand to interrupt the words he hadn’t spoken yet, "I’m currently at the Alchemy Institute, there won’t be any danger. Moreover, if anything unforeseen occurs, I can also escape into the space. So heed me, wait until you recover before helping me forge these two puppets."
Si Mo furrowed his brows and straightforwardly said, "If there really is danger, given your nature, you wouldn’t hide easily. Once these two puppets are forged, their power will be suppressed at the bordering point of the realm. With them protecting you, only then will it be reassuring for your safety."
"If I rely on them for everything, I won’t be able to grow." Mu Qingge insisted.
This statement left Si Mo speechless.
He had walked step by step to the Demon Lord’s position, knowing full well that the path of the strong must be treaded by oneself. Yet, when it came to Mu Qingge, he couldn’t bear it.
Mu Qingge observed Si Mo’s solemn expression, smiled slightly, and like coaxing a child, held his face in both hands, stood on tiptoe, and lightly pecked his lips.
