Ji Lianxing didn't think much about it and casually said, "It's fine, I've touched it before..."
As soon as the words left her mouth, she felt a chill down her spine, her hair standing on end.
Before she could react, her body suddenly froze, standing still like a sculpture.
"Daoist Venerable, what are you doing?" Ji Lianxing looked bewildered.
Ji Hongxiu stepped forward and snatched Chen Mo away from her, her face icy, her gaze piercing, "Touched before? So what's the real relationship between you two?"
∑(O_O;)
Ji Lianxing suddenly snapped back to reality.
Only then did she recall, back at the Chen Mansion, she had eavesdropped on so private conversations of Ling Ningzhi and Chen Mo... Among them, it was ntioned that the Daoist Venerable not only slept with Chen Mo but also had a session with the master and student, three people sharing a bed!
"Oh no, how could I forget about that!"
"I'm really shooting myself in the foot!"
Ji Lianxing broke out in a cold sweat.
The person before her was the Ultimate Venerable, if she truly offended them, she'd die not knowing how it happened!
Let alone she'd hoped to rely on the Tianshu Pavilion's power to confront Consort Yu and rebuild the Sect! Now instead of strengthening their relationship, she'd been flagged as a romantic rival instead?!
"Dao, Daoist Venerable, you've misunderstood, it's not what you think!" Ji Lianxing was so nervous she spoke incoherently, stamring, "Chen Mo and I are just cooperating, each taking what is needed. He gives silver notes, I help him clean guns... no, I an, help him raise cats..."
"Snatching this Dharma Conch from Monk Huineng, I suppose you took quite a risk?" Ji Hongxiu narrowed her eyes slightly, saying, "To avoid being detected by Wuwan Temple, you had to maintain the paperman form, lacking even the basic self-defense capabilities..."
"How much silver did Chen Mo give you to make it worthwhile?"
"I..."
Ji Lianxing was at a loss for words.
After a mont's hesitation, she said in a low voice, "He saved my life, more than once, I'm just returning the favor."
Well, well, another familiar plot.
Back then, wasn't Ling Ningzhi saved by Chen Mo and then completely fell for him, unable to extricate herself?
Moreover, Ling Ningzhi was cultivating the Forget Love Path, her Dao Heart was as solid as a rock, even so, she couldn't escape the "devil's clutches"; how could this woman who looks like a vixen be any better?
Thinking about this, Ji Hongxiu's expression beca even colder.
But she was mindful that Chen Mo's condition wasn't stable right now, it wasn't the ti to throw a tantrum.
"I need to check his physical condition, so I cannot leave for the ti being, it'll be troubleso for Master Ji to wait here for a while."
Having said that, she turned and walked towards the bedroom, leaving Ji Lianxing standing dumbfounded.
"ow?"
The cat tilted its head, looking at her puzzled.
It couldn't quite understand why the little paperman suddenly beca so big...
...
...
In the bedroom.
Chen Mo lay quietly on the bed, eyes closed, still in a coma.
Ji Hongxiu sat beside him, gazing at him, noticing that he was flushed all over, muscles bulging, bulging veins standing out, and with that rugged totem, full of impact and aggression.
"This power feels oddly familiar, like I've seen it sowhere before..."
She grabbed Chen Mo's wrist and infused Dao Power, attempting to investigate.
But this action seed to break the balance, a surge of Qi-Blood suddenly reversed, and instantly, she felt an imnse force, her body lightened, and she was pressed onto the bed, a pair of arms like iron clamps held her tightly!
"Wait, wait a minute!" Ji Hongxiu exclaid.
At this point, Chen Mo's muddled voice reached her ears, "Empress, don't be angry anymore, can't the Daoist Venerable call you sister in the future..."
Ji Hongxiu: ???
