The faint morning light filtered through the sheer curtains and fell on the bed.
Lin Jingzhu stared blankly at the man before her, her thoughts muddled, unsure if it was a dream or reality.
"Mr. Chen, are you still alive?"
Chen Mo didn’t answer. He extended his finger and touched her chest, transferring a thread of Qi Blood Power to her.
Feeling that familiar warmth, Lin Jingzhu’s expression gradually shifted from confusion to disbelief, finally transforming into an incredible joy.
Her eyes, clear and bright, welled up with mist, and her voice trembled slightly: "So it wasn’t a dream, Mr. Chen, you’re really not dead!"
Chen Mo shook his head and said with a smile, "Good people don’t live long, while scoundrels endure for a thousand years. I still have over nine hundred years left, I’m not that easy to kill..."
"Mmm..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Jingzhu whimpered and threw herself into his arms.
Feeling the trembling delicate figure in his embrace, and the dampness spreading across his chest, Chen Mo sighed softly, gently stroking her silky hair, and said tenderly:
"Alright, as the top Divine Catcher of the Six Gates, crying like a little kitten will make people laugh at you if it gets out."
"Mr. Chen, I thought I’d never see you again, I was so scared..."
Lin Jingzhu hugged Chen Mo tightly, wishing she could lt herself into his body.
Only by experiencing the pain of loss, can one understand how precious it is to have once had sothing.
"How could that be? The Chill Toxin hasn’t been fully purged, and I’ve promised you, I won’t go back on my word," Chen Mo said.
Lin Jingzhu shook her head vigorously, her pretty face streaked with tears, and sobbing intermittently she said, "I don’t care about the Chill Toxin, I just want Mr. Chen to stay by my side forever!"
As soon as she spoke, she suddenly realized her rashness.
Not knowing Chen Mo’s feelings yet, speaking such words blindly, wouldn’t it just add unnecessary trouble to him?
If they couldn’t even be friends in the future, what would happen then?
Thinking of this, she hastily explained: "I-I an, Mr. Chen is brilliant at solving cases, and I have so much to learn from you..."
Chen Mo raised his hand to wipe away her tears, smiling as he said: "Lin Catcher, don’t worry, I will stay with you."
Lin Jingzhu’s heart suddenly shivered.
Gazing into those deep eyes, she couldn’t hold back any longer.
She buried her delicate face in Chen Mo’s embrace, listening to that strong heartbeat, choking out: "Mr. Chen, I really miss you!"
["Lin Jingzhu" Favorability Rating has increased.]
[Current progress: 70/100 (Mutual Affection).]
Seeing the tiny script flash before his eyes, Chen Mo was montarily speechless.
For him, Lin Jingzhu had ventured far to the Southern Border, nearly losing her life. Even without seeing the favorability rating, one could feel her precious sentints, unless one were as dense as a blockhead.
It’s impossible for his heart not to be moved.
But the problem was, what about the Empress?
Judging from yesterday’s reaction, convincing the Empress to accept this matter seed even more challenging than sharing bed with Consort Yu...
"A long road ahead!"
Chen Mo’s expression was helpless.
"Wait..."
At this mont, Lin Jingzhu ca to her senses.
If what happened yesterday wasn’t an illusion, didn’t that an she really kissed Mr. Chen?!
"By the way, this is a good opportunity to help you purge the Chill Toxin," Chen Mo said: "It’s already been delayed too long, if it’s dragged on any further and the Chill Toxin breaks out, all the previous efforts would be in vain."
"Mm."
Lin Jingzhu’s cheeks flushed lightly, and she responded softly.
The two of them had cooperated so many tis, they were already familiar with the process, and without getting up, they lay sideways in bed.
Chen Mo placed his palm on the Heavenly Pond Acupoint, inserting Qi Blood Power and Vitality Essence into her body, constantly dissipating the chill in her ridians.
Feeling that tingling sensation, Lin Jingzhu’s body trembled slightly, her legs rubbing uneasily against each other.
"Mr. Chen, it tickles..."
The palm trembled gently, moist and soothing.
The supple and tender feeling gripped by his hand caused Chen Mo’s thoughts to drift slightly.
He steadied his focus, navigating between the Central Chest Point, Yutang, and Zi Palace, gradually purging the Chill Toxin near her Heart ridian.
Lin Jingzhu hesitated for a mont, then gathered her courage to ask: "Mr. Chen, was I out of my mind yesterday, did I do anything out of line?"
Chen Mo recalled for a mont, then said: "When you saw , you started crying, muttering about illusions, and then... cough..."
His tone paused, not continuing.
Lin Jingzhu’s heart already had the answer.
So they did kiss!
"That was my first kiss, yet I don’t even rember what it felt like."
Her pretty face was as red as a drop of blood, and she said softly: "After all, we’ve already kissed once, doing it again shouldn’t matter, right?"
"Hmm?"
Before Chen Mo could react, his lips were already touched by a pair of cool ones.
A fleeting touch.
Lin Jingzhu tilted her head, murmuring to herself: "It seems different from what I imagined?"
Chen Mo, caught off guard by the ambush, couldn’t help but laugh at her words: "What kind of feeling did you expect?"
Lin Jingzhu blushed and said: "I don’t know... uh!"
Before she finished, Chen Mo, with one hand purging the Chill Toxin, lifted her chin with the other and leaned down to kiss her deeply.
Lin Jingzhu’s body instinctively tensed, but under Chen Mo’s advances, her eyes gradually beca hazy, her conscious defenses surrendered as she involuntarily opened her mouth, her forrly tense body lting like a clear spring...
After a long while.
Chen Mo, smiling, asked: "How about now? How does it feel?"
Lin Jingzhu’s breathing was slightly hurried, and she stamred: "Str-strange, a bit dizzy, my whole body feels weak, like I’ve been affected by Soft Muscle Powder..."
Chen Mo shook his head.
