"Aren’t you going to save , Young Master?"
Si Li looked at Xiao Mo, her charming voice laced with a hint of playful complaint.
"I can save you, but you have to beg first." Xiao Mo leaned against a tree, arms crossed.
Si Li froze for a mont. She hadn’t expected Xiao Mo to have a mischievous side.
"I’m begging you, Young Master... Please, hurry and help ..." At this mont, however, Si Li showed no temper. She seed utterly obedient before Xiao Mo.
"Xiao Mo, your timing is perfect! My search for you hasn’t been in vain!"
Seeing that the newcor was Xiao Mo, Cheng Yunshang wasn’t the least bit afraid. He even felt that Xiao Mo was courting death by daring to step out and play the hero saving the damsel!
Admittedly, outside the Chaos Secret Realm, he would probably turn and run the mont he saw Xiao Mo.
But here in the Chaos Secret Realm, everyone was only at the Golden Core Realm!
Furthermore, Cheng Yunshang had previously obtained a drop of Qilin Blood, which he had used to help forge his Golden Core.
Therefore, Cheng Yunshang was extrely confident in his Golden Core Realm strength.
Even against Xiao Mo, he felt he could slay him!
Not to ntion, he had several good friends by his side. They were all fellow prodigies of their Sect, and the quality of their Golden Cores was exceptionally high. Otherwise, their Sect wouldn’t have sent them to the Chaos Secret Realm!
"Fellow cultivators, help kill this beast!"
Cheng Yunshang roared, leaping into the air with his Giant Axe and cleaving down at Xiao Mo’s head.
The others summoned their Lifebound Magical Artifacts, aiming to kill Xiao Mo in a single blow and give him no chance to retaliate.
After all, they had all heard of Xiao Mo’s reputation.
But Xiao Mo didn’t even spare them a glance.
The five n saw only a flash of crimson light from a blade streak past their eyes.
The long saber at Xiao Mo’s waist was drawn and sheathed in a single motion.
In an instant, all of them exploded into a mist of blood, their bodies and souls annihilated.
Chained to the ground, Si Li stared blankly at the scene.
She had long had a clear understanding of Xiao Mo’s power.
But when she saw these Cultivators who had nearly driven her to her death unable to withstand a single strike from Xiao Mo, the scene still felt surreal.
CLANG! CLANG!
With a few slashes, Xiao Mo severed the chains on Si Li and cut down the surrounding Array Flags. He gave her a detached look. "What are you spacing out for? Let’s go."
"Yes, Young Master." Si Li stood up and took a step forward, but her legs went weak and she collapsed toward Xiao Mo.
Si Li’s soft form was buried in Xiao Mo’s embrace.
Feeling his firm physique and recalling the sight of his domineering strike, the seductive allure that had yet to fade surged through her, and her breathing grew ragged.
"Get up," Xiao Mo said coldly.
"Young Master..." Si Li looked up at Xiao Mo, her eyes so moist they seed about to overflow. "Do you want ?"
"Get lost!" Xiao Mo said, his face expressionless.
"But Young Master, you’re already..." Si Li glanced downward, then pressed herself even closer to Xiao Mo, her gaze growing hazier.
"Tsk."
Xiao Mo felt this woman was truly a handful.
He lifted his scabbard and smacked her hard on the back.
"Ngh..."
Blood Evil Qi flooded into Si Li’s body, ravaging her bloodline.
Si Li fell to the ground, curling up and hugging her knees tightly.
She bit her thin lip as sweat beaded on her forehead.
The heart-wrenching pain instantly sobered Si Li, completely suppressing the seductive feelings within her.
As the Blood Evil Qi gradually faded, Si Li gasped for air, her gauze dress now soaked with sweat and clinging to her graceful figure.
Si Li looked up, glaring resentfully at Xiao Mo. Compared to before, however, her eyes were much clearer.
"Feeling better?" Xiao Mo asked.
"Much! Better!" Si Li bit out each word through clenched teeth.
’She just couldn’t understand. How could anyone be so clueless about romance?’
’A mont ago, even though she had lost most of her senses, she had still thrown herself at him. And he rejected her!’
"If you’re better, then let’s go. Otherwise, you can stay here by yourself."
Xiao Mo didn’t waste any more words on her and turned to walk away.
"Hey! Young Master, wait..." Si Li called out from behind him.
"You’re so much trouble," Xiao Mo’s voice was already laced with impatience.
"But Young Master..." Si Li’s charming eyes grew misty. She looked utterly pitiful and wronged. "My foot is injured. My tendon is torn. I really can’t walk."
Xiao Mo looked down and saw that there was indeed a gash on her right heel. She had only used her Spiritual Power to stop the bleeding.
"Apply this." Xiao Mo tossed her a box of Black Jade Ointnt.
"Thank you, Young Master." Si Li happily accepted the ointnt. "But, Young Master, could you help apply it...?"
As she spoke, Si Li turned to the side, slightly lifting her skirt to reveal a snow-white foot and a delicate, jade-like heel.
But when Si Li saw Xiao Mo’s eyes narrow and his long saber slide partway from its sheath, she imdiately straightened up, quickly lowering her skirt and applying the ointnt herself.
"Young Master, I’ve bandaged it, but this Black Jade Ointnt needs half an hour to take effect. Could you carry on your back, Young Master?" After applying the ointnt, Si Li held out her slender arms, waiting for Xiao Mo to carry her.
Xiao Mo didn’t answer. He just walked up to her and reached out his hand.
"Huh?"
Just as Si Li thought he was going to carry her on his back, feeling a secret sense of triumph...
Xiao Mo’s arm wrapped around her slender waist. Si Li was suddenly lifted into the air and tucked under his arm...
With his saber in one hand and Si Li tucked under the other arm, Xiao Mo walked forward.
"Young Master! This is uncomfortable! Please carry on your back..." Si Li whined. She felt like a rolled-up straw mat...
"Cut the nonsense."
"But... you’ve carried Wangxin on your back before... Why can’t you carry ...?" Si Li pouted, her cheeks puffed out.
Xiao Mo turned his head and glanced at Si Li, his eyes seeming to ask, ’Are you even comparable to Wangxin?’
Si Li’s chest heaved with anger.
She was defiant and wanted to say more.
But the thought that Xiao Mo might just abandon her made Si Li obediently shut her mouth.
"Young Master..." After a long silence, Si Li couldn’t hold back any longer and asked, "Have you only ever carried Sister Wangxin on your back?"
"And my junior sister, and my master when they were drunk," Xiao Mo answered flatly.
"Anyone else?" Si Li felt a little better now.
’It doesn’t seem so shaful that he won’t carry , after all. He’s only ever carried a few people.’
Hearing Si Li’s question, the image of a young girl holding a longsword and a woman in a white dress surfaced in Xiao Mo’s mind.
"Two other people." A flicker of tenderness flashed in Xiao Mo’s eyes.
"Are those two people won?" Si Li pressed on. "Are they important to you, Young Master?"
"You talk too much." Xiao Mo didn’t answer.
"..."
Si Li obediently closed her mouth, but her curiosity was piqued.
’Just who were those two won, who could bring that flicker of tenderness to his eyes?’
"After we leave the Chaos Secret Realm, you are to return to the Wandao Sect. Go to Blood Sin Peak and tell my master that you are my person now." After a long silence between them, Xiao Mo finally spoke. "Then, after I take control of the Wandao Sect, you will properly assist my junior sister."
"Huh? Why not assist you, Young Master?" Si Li asked, puzzled.
"I will be very busy and likely traveling often," Xiao Mo explained. "You and Yun Wei will help manage matters. Understood?"
"Understood~" If anyone else had said such a thing, Si Li would have thought they were daydreaming. ’He already thinks he’s going to be the Wandao Sect’s Sect Leader?’
But coming from Xiao Mo’s mouth, it felt completely natural.
"But Young Master, if I do a good job, will you give a reward?" Si Li looked at Xiao Mo expectantly.
"What kind of reward?"
"I... I would also like for you to carry on your back, just once." As she said this, for so unknown reason, Si Li felt her heart begin to beat a little faster.
"Then work hard. We can talk about it after you’ve worked for a long ti."
"How long will that be?"
"Let’s start with a thousand years."
Xiao Mo said it casually, as if just dangling a carrot in front of a subordinate. He didn’t take it to heart at all.
’After all, a thousand years from now, I’ll have long since left this lifeti.’
"A thousand years?"
Si Li thought for a mont, then nodded happily.
"Alright! In that case, I will wait a thousand years for you, Young Master~"
