Chapter 240 Black-Hearted Lotus Junior Brother 8

She was just being polite, but to her surprise, Mo Chen didn't stand on ceremony at all. He came over and sat down next to her, smiling shyly, "Thank you, Senior Sister."

If she could beat him, Xu Qiuqiu really wanted to pinch his face. He doesn't do any work and pretends to be obedient and weak. It's really infuriating.

It was already completely dark. Xu Qiuqiu had exhausted her spiritual power and could only start a fire by rubbing sticks together. She rubbed the sticks together for a long time, but not a single spark came out.

She had no choice but to ask Mo Chen for help, "Junior brother, could you use a fireball spell to start a fire?"

"Huh?" Mo Chen said innocently, "So Senior Sister was starting a fire. I thought she was playing a game, so I didn't disturb her."

Xu Qiuqiu took a deep breath to stop herself from cursing; he was truly infuriating.

She didn't want to talk to him anymore and continued to rub against him, which only fueled the fire.

Seeing Xu Qiuqiu's sullen expression, Mo Yan was in a good mood and threw a fireball spell, igniting the pile of branches.

The light from the flames illuminated the cave.

Xu Qiuqiu turned around and saw the smile that Mo Chen still hadn't faded from his face, which made her so angry that she wanted to throw the stick in her hand at his face.

Sitting on the straw bed, Mo Chen laughed even harder. Xu Qiuqiu couldn't hold back any longer, walked up to him, and asked angrily, "What are you laughing at?"

"Don't be angry, Senior Sister." Mo Chen gently took her hand. "I just think you look like a little kitten, so cute."

Seeing that he seemed to be in a good mood, Xu Qiuqiu frowned. "What do you mean?"

Mo Chen took out a mirror and pointed it at her, saying, "Senior sister, take a look."

Xu Qiuqiu's gaze fell on the area around the mirror, where the edges were inlaid with exquisite gemstones and carved with unique patterns.

The more she looked at it, the more familiar it seemed. It looked like the divine mirror described in the book, and possessing it was equivalent to possessing powerful magic.

This black lotus is actually being used as a mirror?

She didn't know what to say. Should she say he was wasting his talents?

This time she was absolutely certain that his cultivation level must be very high, otherwise he wouldn't be able to casually take out a magic artifact, which was a celestial-grade magic artifact.

Xu Qiuqiu looked at the mirror, which reflected her face. There were several specks of soot on her fair face, and soot on her nose and cheeks. No wonder he said she looked like a little kitten.

She felt a little embarrassed and raised her hand to wipe the coal dust off her face. The main reason was that her spiritual power had not recovered; otherwise, she wouldn't have needed to go through all this trouble.

"Senior sister." Mo Chen grabbed her hand, stopping her movement. "Let me help you."

"No need." Xu Qiuqiu was afraid that he was harboring some bad intentions, so she tried to pull her hand away and decided to do it herself.

This time, Mo Chen was very determined not to let go. During the struggle, Xu Qiuqiu heard the sound of clothes tearing.

She saw that Mo Chen's wide sleeves were torn open, and his arms were covered with countless crisscrossing scars.

She was stunned. Who had hurt him so deeply?

Before she could even glance at him, Mo Chen quickly covered his hand, his eyes instantly filled with hatred and disgust.

He seemed to be caught up in some bad memories, and a heavy, suffocating atmosphere enveloped him.

Thinking of the scar on his arm, Xu Qiuqiu felt as if her heart had been twisted and started to ache.

Ignoring his cold expression, she asked with concern, "Junior brother, are you alright?"

She received no response, and the cave began to grow quiet and somber.

After a long while, she heard Mo Chen's soft voice, "Senior sister, do you think I'm ugly?"

She gently comforted him, "How could that be? Junior brother is the most handsome person I've ever seen."

Mo Chen suddenly laughed, her eyes filled with indifference, "Senior Sister, you're really joking."

His robes were almost entirely covered with indelible scars, which disgusted him even to look at, let alone her.

Once she finds out his true identity, she probably won't even have time to run away.

Xu Qiuqiu was a little anxious, "No, in my heart, my junior brother is the most handsome person."

Mo Chen didn't believe it at all. "Senior sister, there's no need to say anything more. It's getting late, we should rest."

After saying that, he casually used magic to make a grass bed, lay down, and closed his eyes to rest.

Xu Qiuqiu didn't want to disturb him, so she could only lie down on the straw bed she had made herself.

But I was puzzled. Why did he have so many scars?

Those scars don't look new; they look like they were left a long time ago. So, was Ah-Fen tortured before?

Unable to sleep, she got up to meditate and cultivate, slowly absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy.

Time passed quickly during her cultivation, and when she opened her eyes again, it was already dawn.

She felt her spiritual power had recovered considerably. She stood up and found that she was the only one left in the cave.

She started to panic. No way? They really abandoned her?

As soon as Xu Qiuqiu stepped out of the cave, she saw Mo Chen carrying a pile of fruit back.

"Senior Sister," Mo Yun's eyes were deep, her tone filled with displeasure, "Where are you going?"

He was seething with anger. Did she want to leave him just because she saw the ugly scars on his body?

Upon learning that Mo Chen had no intention of leaving, Xu Qiuqiu breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll come find you. I thought you had left."

Mo Chen was completely taken aback by her words. He paused for a moment, then his face returned to its harmless state. "At Chenshi (7-9 AM), I saw that Senior Sister was cultivating, so I didn't want to disturb her. I went out and picked some fruit. Would Senior Sister like to try some?"

"Okay." Xu Qiuqiu took a fruit from his hand. "Thank you, junior brother."

The sweet scent of peaches filled the air, and Mo Chen saw her lips turn rosy red, her slender fingers stained with the sweet juice of peaches.

It made his throat dry.

After finishing the peach, Xu Qiuqiu used a cleansing spell to wipe the water off her hands and said to Mo Chen, "Junior brother, let's continue our treasure hunt."

Mo Chen nodded obediently, "Okay."

Seeing that Mo Chen was holding fruit in both hands, Xu Qiuqiu gave up the idea of ​​holding his hand and started walking forward.

Mo Chen felt displeased. "Senior Sister."

Xu Qiuqiu turned to look at him, "What's wrong?"

"Isn't your senior sister afraid I'll get lost?"

Xu Qiuqiu had no choice but to slow down. "Then I'll walk slower."

"Is my senior sister complaining that I walk too slowly?"

Xu Qiuqiu: "No."

How could she dare? She practically worshipped him like a Buddha.

"Then why should Senior Sister slow down?"

Xu Qiuqiu couldn't stand Mo Chen's cryptic manner any longer, so she stopped and asked him directly, "Junior brother, can you just say what you want to say?"

Mo Yan frowned. "Senior Sister, have you forgotten something?"

Xu Qiuqiu: "..."

She felt that he was not only a black-hearted lotus, but also an oddball.

She suppressed her temper and continued to ask, "Junior brother, could you give me a hint?"

"I've already given my senior sister a heads-up."

After hearing his words, Xu Qiuqiu tried hard to recall what he had just said, filtered it through, and found the key sentence: "Senior sister, aren't you afraid I'll get lost?"

Is he upset that she didn't hold his hand?

She tentatively asked him, "Junior brother, shall I hold your hand and walk with you? So we don't get lost later."

"Hmm." Mo Yun didn't smile, but her aura softened.

Xu Qiuqiu helplessly grabbed his hand; he was indeed a strange and eccentric person.
