Chapter 249 Black-Hearted Lotus Junior Brother 17

Hearing that her happiness level had increased, Xu Qiuqiu smiled even more sweetly, "A-Fen, let's stay together forever, okay?"

[Ding! The female lead's happiness level has increased by 10%, currently at 30%]

Mo Chen's eyes were gentle, and he solemnly agreed as if making a promise, "Okay."

Xu Qiuqiu couldn't help but hug him, overjoyed. What an angel he was, showering her with happiness points without reservation.

Caught off guard by Xu Qiuqiu's hug, Mo Chen blushed again. He felt her soft body against his skin, separated only by a layer of clothing, which made his heart race.

That inexplicable longing surged up again, his eyes began to redden, and his breathing became hot.

It was the feeling I had when I first met her, a longing to be comforted…

He couldn't help but hug the girl in his arms tighter, breathing heavily into her ear with a mixture of infatuation and suppressed desire.

Sensing that something was wrong with Mo Chen, Xu Qiuqiu tried to push him away, but he held her even tighter. She asked with concern, "A-Chen, what's wrong?"

“I…I don’t know…I just want to be close to you…I want…to be comforted by you…” Mo Chen said in a low, broken voice.

His blood began to boil, and he didn't understand what was wrong with him. He remembered that he felt better after leaving her that time...

He suppressed his intense desire, forced himself to let go of her, and disappeared from the spot as if fleeing in panic.

Xu Qiuqiu was left looking puzzled. What was wrong with him?

In the quiet jungle, Ruan Zhili lay there for a day and a night before regaining some strength, and he struggled to get up.

His tendons were severed, leaving his hand useless and unable to move. Beneath his hatred lay a powerful fear—the fear that he had truly become a cripple…

The secret realm barrier opened, and all the disciples who participated in the trial were teleported back to their sect.

Ruan Zhili endured the pain and returned to Qingling Peak.

Upon seeing Ruan Zhili covered in blood, the servants inside the peak were startled and hurriedly went to find the peak master, Ruan Ye.

When Ruan Ye saw Ruan Zhili with severed tendons in his hands and dozens of cuts on his body, he was heartbroken and quickly took him into the room to treat his injuries.

Seeing the residual demonic power in his wounds, Ruan Ye was startled, but quickly suppressed his thoughts and focused on healing Ruan Zhili.

After her injuries were treated, Ruan Zhili looked a little better.

Ruan Ye asked with a serious expression, "Zhi Li, who hurt you like this?"

Ruan Zhili's eyes were filled with hatred. "It's Mo Chen, a disciple of the sect. Father, he's a monster! The Heavenly Thunder Talisman struck him, and he was completely unharmed!"

He felt both fear and hatred when he recalled the day he was tortured by him.

"He also severed my tendons, threatened me to take good care of my injury, and said he would come back to find me next time!"

Ruan Ye was shocked. "You hit him with the Heavenly Thunder Talisman, and he was completely unharmed?"

The lingering scent on his son stirred up long-buried memories.

But that child's inner core had already been dug out, how could he still be alive?

"I think he's a monster! He's only at the Foundation Establishment stage, but he can withstand the Heavenly Lightning Talisman that even Nascent Soul stage cultivators can't withstand. He might not even be human; he's a monster!"

Ruan Zhili spoke angrily for a long time, but then noticed that Ruan Ye's expression had become serious.

"Father, why do you look like that?"

Ruan Ye snapped out of her daze and quickly comforted him, "It's alright. Just focus on recovering. Once Father finds out Mo Chen's background, he definitely won't let him off easily!"

In the forest behind the sect, a flock of spirit chickens were pecking at food.

Xu Qiuqiu stood on the tree and looked at the spirit chickens on the ground. After observing for a while, she saw the fattest one.

Her eyes lit up—this is it!

She jumped down and grabbed the fattest rooster, which immediately squawked.

Just as she was about to leave, a sharp light struck her.

Xu Qiuqiu dodged away, carrying the spirit chicken. "Uncle-Master, don't be so stingy if I only eat one of your spirit chickens."

After saying that, she quickly leaped a great distance.

"You brat! Your master is in seclusion and you've already started stealing chickens!" A strong voice rang out.

To avoid being lectured, Xu Qiuqiu quickly left the back mountain.

She found a stove, took out a dagger from her storage bag, and felt a headache coming on as the spirit chicken in her hand kept clucking.

How was this chicken killed?

After much effort, she finally managed to kill the chicken. She poured water into the pot and put the prepared chicken in to make soup.

You need to check the heat from time to time.

003 couldn't help but remind him, "Host, shouldn't we add some seasoning?"

"That seems to be true." Xu Qiuqiu added some seasonings to the pot.

After simmering for a while, she opened the lid, looked at the decent-looking chicken soup, and nodded in satisfaction.

Unexpectedly, she was quite talented; she made chicken soup with ease.

She ladled the soup into a bowl and immediately went to Mo Chen's room.

She raised her hand and knocked on the door. "Ah-Fen, open the door."

The door was quickly opened, and Xu Qiuqiu smiled at Mo Yun and went in, chattering, "Ah Yun, I heard that your clan loves to eat chicken the most, so I specially picked the fattest spirit chicken to make you a nourishing soup."

As soon as Xu Qiuqiu put down the bowl in her hand, Mo Chen grabbed her hand.

She looked up at him, puzzled, and saw him reach out and touch her hair.

The boy's eyes were like stars, or as deep as an autumn pool, captivating anyone who looked into them.

She was somewhat stunned by what she saw until she noticed he was holding the spirit chicken feather he had removed.

She immediately felt embarrassed; her first thought was to bring the chicken soup over, and she hadn't cared about her image at all.

She lowered her head somewhat embarrassed, "Am I... being too shameful...?"

"It's not shameful at all. Senior Sister is the most beautiful no matter what." Mo Chen chuckled softly, her voice gentle. "Did Senior Sister personally cook this chicken soup for me?"

Xu Qiuqiu nodded, "Yes, I'm more worried about A-Chen's injury. I heard that spirit chicken can dispel cold, so I want to make a soup for A-Chen to nourish her body."

"Thank you, Senior Sister." Mo Yun's heart softened.

A warm feeling flowed through his heart, along with a sweet sensation.

Xu Qiuqiu pulled Mo Chen to sit down and served him the soup, saying, "Chen, have a taste."

Mo Chen picked up the spoon and took a sip. The taste was both salty and fishy, ​​almost numbing his taste buds, but he swallowed it without even frowning.

Seeing him take a sip, Xu Qiuqiu immediately asked, "How does it taste?"

Mo Yan: "It has a delicate fragrance, a delicious taste, and an unforgettable aftertaste."

Xu Qiuqiu looked delighted. "Really?"

"Senior sister, this is the best soup I've ever had." Mo Chen smiled slightly. This was his true feeling, because it was made by his senior sister herself, which made it so precious.

Xu Qiuqiu's smile never faded after being praised by Mo Chen. Who would have thought she had such a talent for cooking?

"Ah-Fen, shall I make you chicken soup again tomorrow?"

"Senior sister, don't do such rough work anymore." Mo Chen put down the soup spoon, took her hand, and used her spiritual power to heal the cut on her finger.
