Chapter 72

After the formation was broken, Xiao Mo noticed that Chu Jinglan's face was pale. He was about to ask something, but Yue Ming howled and interrupted him.

Yueming was so surprised that her voice was so loud that it sounded like thunder to the ears of those who were still a little dizzy.

After being detained by the formation, the rest of the people gave priority to protecting the few people with the weakest cultivation. Otherwise, with the cultivation levels of Yan Chunchu, Xia Mozhi and Su Baimo, they would probably faint on the spot and would not be able to come out sober.

Although they did not faint on the spot, they had lost some of their strength and felt dazed. Faced with this shocking fact, they wondered if they had fainted or were dreaming.

The three children were stunned: What? It turns out that the master and senior brother are a Taoist couple!

They are not blood brothers or close friends, but actually a couple of Taoist priests!

They were shocked, but they quickly came to their senses because it made sense: in their impression, the two were always inseparable. The master seemed cold and indifferent to others, but he would never say anything to his senior brother. Whatever his senior brother said was the truth.

The senior brother is also very good to the master. Even if the master doesn’t care about his birthday, the senior brother will remember it for him.

And the three of them thought of a more important point——

They always sleep together at night!

When they had a house, they slept in the same house; when they were camping outdoors, they slept in the same tent or rested next to each other. Even if they were very close friends, they would not be so close all the time.

But if they are a couple, it makes sense!

Although the master and the senior brother did not tell them the true relationship between the two, it was okay, they must have their reasons for doing so.

The three children easily accepted this setting.

But compared to those who accept the good, some people are not so calm, such as Su Baimo.

He looked in disbelief at the two people standing together, as graceful as a jade tree in the wind, as beautiful as the clouds and the moon, a perfect pair, looking so perfect standing together.

But the more they matched, the more it hurt his eyes.

How long has it been, and Chu Jinglan actually has a Taoist partner? !

He was almost eighteen years old when he left the Chu family, which means that Chu Jinglan and Mo Lan had only known each other for more than a year, but they actually promised to be together for the rest of their lives.

He and Chu Jinglan got engaged when he was ten years old and had known each other for seven years, but he was still no match for a person who suddenly showed up.

Moreover, Chu Jinglan is now recognized as a proud son of heaven in the upper realm. He is extremely successful and even more eye-catching than when he was in the lower realm. It must be such a proud thing to be able to stand beside him as a close friend.

But the person next to Chu Jinglan is no longer him.

Su Baimo felt extremely uncomfortable and dirty. He held something in his hand and clenched it so tightly that his bones cracked.

This sound attracted Jun Bushu's sidelong glance. He saw something black in Su Baimo's hand: "What's that in your hand?"

Su Baimo, who was staring at Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan with resentment, was startled and the thing in his hand almost fell out. He originally wanted to hide it, but now it was discovered. Su Baimo pursed his lips and had to open his palm to show Jun Bushu.

Jun Bushu took the thing and examined it carefully. The magic formation that had just held them down must have contained some kind of thought. This black stone contained the power of thought and was an excellent supplement.

When the formation was broken, Su Baimo grabbed it casually and caught it.

This thing fell into Su Baimo's hands, so it should be his fate, but he was not the one who broke the formation. When encountering a battle outside the secret realm, there is another set of rules for determining the composition of the spoils. Jun Bushu thought for a moment and said, "I'll keep it first and ask them how to divide it later."

Su Baimo was speechless.

Xiao Mo almost forgot that the Taoist Couple Seal was in public. After all, in the past, it was just him and Chu Jinglan, and they were used to doing things as they wished. Now that the Taoist Couple Seal was out in front of everyone, he couldn't explain it. Even if he insisted that he and Chu Jinglan were good friends, no one would believe him.

Xiao Mo felt a little annoyed: Oh no, I was only focused on answering the questions and breaking through the formation, and forgot the biggest drawback of this solution.

The disciples of Yingyue Sect and Lingxiao Sect are all here, which means that soon the news that Chu Jinglan has a Taoist partner will spread throughout the entire cultivation world. He can escape and change his identity, but won't this cause trouble for Chu Jinglan?

Before thinking of what to say, Xiao Mo used the method of changing the subject: "Let's not talk about this for now. We haven't dealt with the three demon cultivators yet."

When the topic of Demon Cultivation was mentioned, Yue Ming's expression immediately became serious: "Yes, what about Demon Cultivation?"

Xiao Mo pointed at the light wall: "Inside."

"I don't know why they didn't trap me in the formation just now. Maybe this formation has little effect on the demons? Chu Jinglan gave me a lot of things, and I used them to trap them. It was all Chu Jinglan's credit that we broke the formation just now."

Xiao Mo used a few words to explain why he was alone outside, but there were loopholes in his words. After all, he had just laid the foundation, and even a heavenly-level magic weapon could not exert its maximum effect. What kind of treasure would be needed to trap three Yuanying?

However, the few people who noticed the loophole were wise enough not to ask. Many people have their own secrets, and as long as it does not conflict with themselves, not asking is actually a smart choice.

Yue Ming held up his sword and got ready: "Should we go in and fight them, or let them out?"

Xiao Mo: "Actually, I can't hold them anymore. Let them out immediately. Everyone be careful."

Xiao Mo raised his hand as he spoke. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he was finally able to ask Chu Jinglan without being interrupted: "Are you injured?"

There was no smell of blood, but the complexion was definitely not right.

Chu Jinglan held the Dawn and said softly, "My mental strength has been somewhat depleted, but I can still fight."

Xiao Mo: "Don't be so stubborn."

Chu Jinglan: “Yeah.”

If Xiao Mo hadn't been unable to kill, he would have dealt with the three demon cultivators long ago. Chu Jinglan stepped forward, and he and Yue Ming, the two sword cultivators, were still in the lead, with Jun Bushu, the talisman cultivator, following behind. Xiao Mo reminded them of the time: "Open!"

The moment the light wall was removed, Jun Bushu quickly drew a magic circle in the air with his spiritual light and slapped it forward. Dozens of talismans shot out. The three demon cultivators inside were bewitched by Huan Yuexin's secret realm and had not yet recovered. They turned around in a daze, but their reaction ability was still there. When they noticed any changes, they immediately rushed out.

One of them hit Jun Bushu's formation barrier, and the other's shoulder directly hit Chu Jinglan's sword, and he was stabbed through in the blink of an eye.

Without the Ghost Face Phantom Array, they were no match for Chu Jinglan and the others, and were soon cornered and killed by the sword.

The disciple from Lin'an Academy was also in the formation that had trapped them just now. He had been trapped for too long, his spiritual power was exhausted, and his consciousness was on the verge of collapse. Fortunately, he was rescued and did not lose all his strength and be refined into a puppet. Chu Xia felt relieved after taking his pulse. After knowing that their senior brother was fine, Yan Chun and Mo Zhi felt relieved and stared at the battle situation intently.

Jun Bushu's talisman formations, Chu Jinglan and Yue Ming's sword moves were all very inspiring to them. They were so excited that they wished they could be as powerful as them.

After the demon cultivator died, Yue Ming's sword dug out their storage containers. Xi Tie took out a bottle and threw out a fire, which burned the demon cultivator's body cleanly. It was both environmentally friendly and hygienic.

Yue Ming wiped the divine seal on the storage container, poured out everything inside, and raised his chin towards Jun Bushu who was not far away: "Come over and divide the things."

Jun Bushu walked forward and took out the black bead: "And this one, Junior Brother Su picked it up when the formation was broken."

Did Su Baimo pick it up?

Chu Jinglan heard this, took it in his hand and looked at it. This thing is very suitable for people who practice spiritual skills. It can absorb the power inside. He said, "I want this."

Jun Bushu had no opinion. He pointed at the things of the demon cultivators on the ground and picked out a bunch of them: "These are all that Lingxiao Sect needs."

Yue Ming: "Okay, then you can take it and we'll divide the rest."

Jun Bushu brought the pile of things and asked the Jindan disciples and Su Baimo to come over. In Lingxiao Sect, Jun Bushu contributed the most, so naturally he got the most. Su Baimo grabbed the black crystal, which was also considered luck, so Jun Bushu also reasonably gave him some things.

But Su Baimo was still thinking about the black crystal, and asked Jun Bushu softly: "Brother, what is that crystal used for?"

"It's a good thing for divine consciousness, but it's useless to you now," he paused, as if realizing something, and added, "Generally speaking, it's not a rare treasure. Among the things I give you, there are also some that can help you form an elixir, so you don't have to feel that you're at a disadvantage."

Su Baimo's eyes flickered, and he said hurriedly, "I dare not, I trust my senior brother."

The Jindan disciple also gave a lot of his own share to Su Baimo. Su Baimo felt a little relieved, but when he looked up, he saw Chu Jinglan giving the black crystal to Xiao Mo.

Su Baimo's mood, which had just relaxed, plummeted to the bottom again in an instant.

That person...what on earth did he do to make Chu Jinglan treat him so well!

After Chu Jinglan gave the black crystal to Xiao Mo, his body swayed slightly. Xiao Mo quickly raised his hand to hold his arm: "Are you really okay?"

Yue Ming said: "After we were covered by the formation, a large number of mental attacks were directed at him first. When the formation was broken, the counterattack was even more serious. We must not hurt our consciousness."

Xiao Mo pretended to hold Chu Jinglan's wrist to examine him. In fact, Xiao Mo didn't even need to take Chu Jinglan's pulse to check his mental condition. After he checked, he confirmed that Chu Jinglan was just over-exerted and not injured, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Mo let go of his hand: "Fortunately, I'm not injured, but I still need to rest."

When spiritual energy is depleted, it can be replenished with pills, but mental strength is different. Most of the time, others help to replenish it, and the rest will be replenished slowly by oneself.

Except for Chu Jinglan, everyone in the group actually needed to rest. Fortunately, Yan Chun and his friends said that some townspeople were willing to lend them their houses before leaving, so they divided the rooms and sat down to rest in Caidie Town.

Of course Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan were still in the same room.

Yue Ming and Xi Tie watched them go into the house with meaningful looks in their eyes. Xiao Mo was speechless. He wanted to say something, but he felt that whatever he said would only make the situation worse, so it was better not to say anything.

After closing the door, Xiao Mo sighed, "Oh no, now they have misunderstood me."

Chu Jinglan sat on the couch in a meditative posture without saying a word.

Xiao Mo was really worried: "What should I do? Your reputation will be affected."

Chu Jinglan then spoke up: "The incident with Youdao is not a stain on my reputation."

"That's not what I meant," Xiao Mo said, "but we weren't originally like that. You're a single swordsman, and your innocence is gone just like that."

Chu Jinglan understood what Xiao Mo was worried about and glanced at him lightly: "It's okay."

"I had never thought about who I would marry in this life. Now that this matter has been spread, it will be a good opportunity to clear my mind."

To prevent anyone from trying to establish a relationship or ask for marriage.

Chu Jinglan was shocked to find that Xiao Mo had no aversion or concern about the exposure of their Taoist couple seal, he was just simply worried. He didn't know whether he should be glad that Xiao Mo was accustomed to any identity with him, or be disappointed that Xiao Mo was slow in this regard.

Xiao Mo thought about it and agreed. If Chu Jinglan would never fall in love with anyone in this life, the "royal couple" status between him and Chu Jinglan would be just a minor episode and harmless. If Chu Jinglan had a lover in the future, given Chu Jinglan's personality, he would definitely explain it clearly to the other party, so there was really no need for him to worry.

Fine, no matter what others say, they are innocent anyway, and Chu Jinglan’s future partner will definitely believe in Chu Jinglan.

Chu Jinglan's mental energy was indeed depleted too much, so after a while, he closed his eyes. It was more like he fainted than meditating, and he was slowly recovering his mental energy.

Xiao Mo took out his flute and played a tune for him first. An hour later, Xiao Mo checked Chu Jinglan's mental state and found that his mental strength was recovering very slowly.

He thought about it and cast a barrier around the house so that he would know if someone approached. Then he returned to Chu Jinglan's body and walked to the inner room with ease.

Snow White was lying quietly in the inner palace, and it seemed that she had completely lost consciousness and fainted, with no movement or reaction.

The little black mist ball Xiao Mo stopped at a safe distance, then separated some of his own mental power, and thin wisps of mist seeped out and floated towards the white snow ball.

Snow White shuddered as the mist-like mental power surrounded her. However, replenishing mental power was a comfortable process, and she quickly calmed down.

Chu Jinglan hadn't woken up yet, and Tuanzi's movements were all unconscious.

Seeing the good effect, Xiao Mo allocated more of his mental power. He had a strong consciousness and more mental power, so he could afford it.

I don’t know if White Snow Dumpling has found the source of comfort. With the infusion of spiritual power, she unconsciously moves closer to Black Mist Dumpling.

Xiao Mo was shocked when he saw this and stepped back quickly. He had not forgotten the feeling of being fatal with just a slight touch!

The black mist ball retreated, and the white snow ball followed. The two balls moved little by little. The inner palace was so small that there was no way to retreat. Xiao Mo shouted anxiously, "Chu Jinglan, don't move!"

Chu Jinglan was still unconscious, but the snowball actually stopped.

Even Xiao Mo himself was stunned. He just spoke out unconsciously in a moment of urgency, and it actually worked?

The snowball was only a thin notebook away from him.

Xiao Mo breathed a sigh of relief. He continued to send his mental power over, thinking that if he received a little more, he would stop, go out and come back slowly.

He just wanted to be satisfied with Snow White's obedience, but the next second, he found that he was satisfied too early.

Because the quiet and well-behaved Snow White suddenly shook, and then, caught off guard, crashed into him!

The distance was too close and there was nowhere to hide, so Xiao Motuanzi was hit head-on.

Xiao Mo had no time to panic, because a strong electric shock instantly swept through his body. The black mist ball trembled violently and let out a high-pitched groan, panicking and bewitching, which was pleasant and seductive.

Xiao Mo himself didn't know he could make this kind of sound.

But now he couldn't even hold his teeth.

The black mist was so suspended that it was almost trembling to the point of melting.

"Wait, Chu Jinglan...ah!"

The white snow ball was also shaken violently along with the whole ball, but he did not retreat. Instead, he suddenly swelled up after being stimulated, as if a cotton ball stretched its body, and tried hard to wrap itself in the black mist, as if he wanted to turn his body into a blanket so that the black mist could be completely integrated into his body.

Xiao Mo felt dizzy and had no way to retreat. He was pinned against the wall by the snowball. His consciousness, which had been clear just now, became blurry. One moment he felt as if he was walking on clouds and feeling ethereal. The next moment, tingling electric currents flowed through his limbs. It was very comfortable, but it was too much, too much.

It was so comfortable that it made him want to cry. He couldn't bear it anymore.

"Chu, uh, Chu..."

There was a soft cry in Xiao Mo's voice. The black mist was really melted and squeezed and rubbed by the white snow. He could hardly do anything except trembling and making unconscious sounds.

The stimulation was so strong that it caused a mental disorder, so much so that Xiao Mo forgot how to get out of his inner palace for a moment, and let the white snow ball entangle himself. He also unconsciously gave himself up in the feeling of melting, and the two balls blended together inseparable.

Until the previously quiet Snow White groaned.

The extra movement finally allowed Xiao Mo to regain some self-awareness from the chaos. The moment he woke up, he immediately turned around and walked out of the inner palace, leaving Chu Jinglan's body, and suddenly appeared on the bed.

Xiao Mo's limbs were limp and powerless, and he lay on the couch. There were no tears in the eyes of his inner demon, but at this moment it was clearly rippling water and a spring scene. Xiao Mo's whole body was still shaking. He slightly raised his head and gasped for breath.

The contact between the spirits, this is too...

“Hmm!”

Chu Jinglan's body fell down from his meditation position, hitting Xiao Mo squarely. Xiao Mo was just reacting to the pressure, and after a muffled groan, he gritted his teeth and said, "Chu Jinglan!"

Chu Jinglan didn't wake up, but the consequences of the spiritual contact were obviously reflected on him. At this moment, he closed his eyes, but his cheeks were red and his body was shaking unconsciously. At this moment, he was close to Xiao Mo, and the warm body and the cold inner demon spirit were both about to melt.

Xiao Mo had no strength in his hands and feet, and after trying hard, he only managed to turn over. But he soon regretted it - because after turning over, Chu Jinglan fell on him head-on, with Chu Jinglan's head resting on his neck.

The hot breath was very obvious.

Xiao Mo wanted to push him away, but ended up placing his fingers softly on Chu Jinglan's shoulders. It was hard to tell whether he was pushing him or holding on.

Xiao Mo thought in despair that if another demon cultivator came at this time, he would definitely kill them both.

He simply gave up and lay down until his strength recovered. His body was shaking, and the trembling became less severe. Fortunately, Chu Jinglan finally opened his eyes and woke up.

Xiao Mo couldn't see him blink, but he could sense Chu Jinglan's aura change. Xiao Mo stared numbly at the beams above his head, and after a moment he said faintly: "...Awake?"

Chu Jinglan: “…Yeah.”

Xiao Mo gritted his teeth and said, "Go down."

Chu Jinglan: "...Okay."

Chu Jinglan raised his arms, but both he and Xiao Mo underestimated Chu Jinglan's strength at the moment. After all, the spiritual contact affected two people, and Chu Jinglan had just raised his arms a little distance before his hands slid to the side uncontrollably, and his upper body fell down again.

Xiao Mo: “!”

Chu Lan was shocked: “!”

The two men looked at each other. In the critical moment, Xiao Mo reacted very quickly and turned his head to the side, avoiding being hit in the face by Chu Jinglan.

Please, if it really hits, their two tall noses will collide with each other, which would be very painful just thinking about it!

But this blow made the two men groan again, and this time, both of them dared not move for a while.

Just at this moment, someone knocked on the door.

"Mo Lan, how is Chu Jinglan recovering? If not, we should find a doctor first."

Although the little girl Chuxia has great medical skills, her cultivation level is too low and she is temporarily helpless against spiritual problems.

Neither of the two people in the room responded for a moment.

Yue Ming knocked on the door again: "Mo Lan?"

Chu Jinglan hesitated for a while before finally speaking, but there was a hoarseness in his voice that was not usually heard. As soon as he spoke, it was clear that something was wrong.

"I'm fine."

With just three short words, the tone of voice made Chu Jinglan's eyes widen slightly.

The knocking on the door suddenly stopped, and Yue Ming's voice suddenly became strange: "Haha, what? Sorry, I won't disturb you anymore. Sorry, sorry..."

With the sound of hurried footsteps, it became quiet outside the door.

Xiao Mosheng closed his eyes with nothing to be attached to.

Well, Chu Jinglan can’t wash himself clean even if he jumps into the Yellow River.
