Chapter 73

After the footsteps outside faded away, the room fell into an eerie silence.

This situation is very similar to the time when Xiao Mo was "drunk and thinking", the difference is that the identities of the perpetrator and the passive party are reversed.

Moreover, Chu Jinglan didn't remember what he had done the whole time, but from the strong feeling of the remains on his body, he knew it must be worse than last time.

After all, the aftereffects were too strong. My body felt hot, my breathing was heavy, and I was shaking uncontrollably. Even my bones felt numb and I couldn't calm down for a long time.

Chu Jinglan could roughly guess the cause of the incident. It should be that Xiao Mo wanted to replenish his spiritual power and enrich his consciousness. What happened after that... he didn't dare to guess.

He didn't have the strength to hold up his arms at this time, so he thought of just moving to the side. After all, if he pressed on Xiao Mo, it would not only torture Xiao Mo, but also him.

Chu Jinglan only felt his own heartbeat like a drum, the roar was deafening, but since he was so close to Xiao Mo, he didn't know if he could hear it.

But as soon as he moved, he froze immediately.

...because his knee was stuck between Xiao Mo's legs.

This touch was suddenly more subtle.

Xiao Mo: “…”

Chu Jinglan: "...I won't move."

Xiao Mo's eyes were empty, and he said hesitantly, "I suddenly thought of something."

Chu Jinglan followed him and tried hard to shift his attention: "What?"

"I can go back to the sea of ​​consciousness." Xiao Mo seemed to be possessed by Xianglin Sao in modern literary works. "I am so stupid, really, my brain is fuzzy, you stay here, I will leave first."

After saying that, Xiao Mo's figure suddenly disappeared, and Chu Jinglan fell face down on the couch, with the soft bedding touching the side of his face. Chu Jinglan was stunned for a moment, and then he slowly let out a long sigh of relief.

In the past, he didn't understand his own feelings, and any touch and feeling were always vague, as if there was a thin layer of paper between them. But now, as long as he is close to Xiao Mo, any perception becomes clear. It is good to separate from Xiao Mo now, otherwise... he might be greedy for the remaining warmth and can't help wanting to be closer to Xiao Mo.

What should I do if I scare the devil?

It's good to separate and calm down.

Xiao Mo returned to the sea of ​​consciousness, his body still exhausted. He happened to appear in a cluster of Epiphyllums at night. He lay among the flowers, staring up at the azure sky.

The stream of light from the giant tree fluttered over again, circling around him affectionately, as if waiting for him to come home at any time. Xiao Mo tried hard to empty his mind, but his mind was obviously undisciplined and the scenes from the inner palace would replay in his mind from time to time.

Xiao Mo couldn't help but curl his fingers. After all, no matter how he escaped, as long as it was an intelligent creature, it would like the feeling of comfort. Hence, there is a saying: Once you taste the marrow, you will know the taste.

The fierce and sticky force of Snow White wrapped him up so that he had nowhere to escape and made a terrible noise. Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle. But the most embarrassing thing was that when he was rubbed into a daze, he actually followed his instinct and moved closer to Snow White.

If he hadn't lost his brain, things wouldn't have gotten so entangled.

What is going on?

The elegant fragrance of Youye Tan wrapped him gently, and the soft petals touched his cheeks. Xiao Mo lay there for a while, and the numbness in his body finally faded away, and his hands and feet regained their strength, but he still didn't want to move, and didn't want to go out for the time being, so he just lay there.

He stared at the clouds in the sky in a daze, and suddenly, a cloud above his head moved abnormally.

Xiao Mo:?

Then, he watched as the cloud transformed into a fat little bird, which looked clearly modeled after the ball.

Xiao Mo's eyes moved, as if he understood something, but he said nothing.

He didn't respond, so the fat cloud flapped its wings again and turned into a blooming lotus.

Xiao Mo snorted softly: "What are you doing? What's so strange about this?"

Hearing his words, the red lotus clouds also dispersed, and in the blink of an eye, the sky that was originally bright and sunny was suddenly covered by the night. A starry galaxy spread out from the end of the sky and flowed slowly over, shining brightly and brilliantly, penetrating the entire sky, passing over Xiao Mo's head, and sparkling in his eyes.

The illusory flowers and stars made of spiritual light fell along with the Milky Way, as if the stars had fallen to the earth. Thousands and thousands of them were shining brightly and blooming in full bloom. Countless brilliance bloomed in the world just for one person. Xiao Mo couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly.

He raised his hand from the flowers, and a small night-blooming cereus as big as a fingernail fell on his fingertips, spun around, kissed Xiao Mo's fingers lightly, and then playfully jumped into little flames.

There were more little stars, which fell on Xiao Mo, caressing his clothes, lightly touching his brows, jumping out brilliant chapters between Xiao Mo's dark and soft hair, embellishing his figure and brightening his face.

The beauty lies among the flowers, and the stars intoxicate her heart.

The corners of Xiao Mo's mouth curled up unconsciously. He looked at this grand performance, and his empty eyes were finally pulled back into the world of red dust. He couldn't help but smile.

After the rain of spiritual light from stars and flowers ended, Xiao Mo fiddled with the nightshade on his cheek, and with a thought, he finally came out of his sea of ​​consciousness and was beside Chu Jinglan in the blink of an eye.

Last time, it was Xiao Mo who asked Chu Jinglan if she was angry. This time, it was Chu Jinglan who was trying to comfort him. Chu Jinglan said, “I’m sorry.”

Xiao Mo was very happy to see the scene and said generously: "I forgive you."

Bai Xuetuanzi came over unconsciously, it wasn't Chu Jinglan's fault, and Xiao Mo wasn't angry either. It was clearly a more complicated emotion, a mixture of all kinds of feelings, so messy that it was hard to tell what it tasted like.

However, although they were not angry, when their door opened, only Chu Jinglan came out.

Xitie and Yueming were not far away. When they saw Chu Jinglan coming out alone, their eyes immediately became bright.

Chu Jinglan couldn't deal with Xiao Mo alone, but when facing the others, he was very calm.

Yue Ming talked about business first: "Support from Lin'an Academy has arrived. It's Yuan Ying. He said he wanted to thank us. Since it's not convenient for you, I asked him to wait. Anyway, their disciples are still recuperating."

What does "inconvenience" mean when there are personal concerns mixed in with the serious business?

Yue Ming frowned and chuckled, "I'm sorry for disturbing you earlier."

His expression was surging. "Don't say I won't keep it a secret for you. The main reason is that too many people have seen it. The news that you and Mo Lan are a couple will spread immediately. Oh, I really can't wait to go back to the sect to see the reactions of the old men."

Regardless of how the Yingyue Sect's people would react, Chu Jinglan had something to say: "I didn't disturb you."

Yueming: "Oh, they had already completed both courses when I went there?"

Chu Jinglan told the truth: "We don't have dual cultivation."

Who would have thought that after he finished speaking, Xitie's strong face suddenly turned red, and it looked like it was already cooked, almost steaming.

Chu Jinglan:?

He and Yue Ming's eyes immediately fell on Xitie. Xitie blushed and stammered. He was embarrassed, but he finished his words: "No, it's not dual cultivation. It's just pure sexual intercourse. I understand, I understand."

As expected of a strict lineage of weapon refiners, indeed, double cultivation strictly requires the practice of double cultivation techniques, but in the world of cultivation, in some occasions, double cultivation is tacitly referring to the bridal chamber between Taoist couples. Yue Ming patted Xi Tie on the shoulder and said, "You're right, you're still strict."

Chu Jinglan told the truth, but no one believed him.

He suddenly felt that if he said the following words, the two people in front of him would have even more wild thoughts. However, he had to say it, because after all, if there were fewer people going to the nearby butterfly habitat, they would definitely ask.

Chu Jinglan paused for a moment, but still spoke: "There is one more thing. We will go to find the butterfly habitat later. The three of us can go. Mo Lan will wait for us in the town."

These are Xiao Mo's original words. He said that he had realized something and wanted to practice alone for a while.

But at this moment, when Chu Jinglan conveyed the words, Yue Ming and Xi Tie immediately showed an expression of "I understand".

Yueming: "It's time to take a good rest."

Xitie: “Yeah!”

Chu Jinglan said: "...Although you may not believe it, I was recuperating just now and really didn't do anything."

The two of them immediately acted as if “we know you’re embarrassed and we’ll definitely cooperate with you.”

Just as Xiao Mo expected, this matter is really hard to clear up. Once the truth is told, others will automatically understand it in a different way.

Xiao Mo is in the room at the moment. Practicing is just an excuse. He wants to be alone for a while.

After all, the impact of this collision of consciousness was too great. He was not angry, but when he saw Chu Jinglan's face, he couldn't help but think of the snow-white ball in his inner palace. The feeling of disappearance seemed to rise again. It was too stimulating and ups and downs, which was not conducive to a calm mood.

Only after Chu Jinglan’s face was no longer in front of me did I finally recite to myself that emptiness is form, form is emptiness, and the world is at peace.

Xiao Mo sat in the room and opened the points panel.

Although he gave out some mental power this time, his consciousness was not tired at all. On the contrary, it was exercised. It would be useless to sit idle in the house anyway, so he might as well do something.

It is not about cultivation, but about exchanging points for cultivation.

While his mind was in good condition, Xiao Mo raised his hand and clicked, very cautiously, only raising his cultivation to the peak of Yuanying level.

Redemption was a very quick process, requiring only two clicks and then pressing the [Confirm] button. His cultivation level was immediately raised from the middle stage of the Yuan Infant stage to the peak stage of the Yuan Infant stage.

Xiao Mo could obviously feel the power in his body instantly filling up. Every small stage after the Golden Elixir was a big improvement. The black mist happily circled around Xiao Mo. As soon as he raised his hand, it rubbed against his porcelain-white slender fingers affectionately and obediently, circling around them. It was clearly a strange scene, but because of the appearance of the person in the painting, it was extremely stunning.

Xiao Mo played with the black mist with his fingers and moved it slowly. His spiritual power and magic energy were very sufficient, and his spiritual perception reached a higher level. He did not feel any discomfort.

It seems that the previous worries were unnecessary.

Xiao Mo felt relieved and took the black mist back into his body. He thought, if there is no problem, then just use the distraction.

He was about to raise his hand again when suddenly, a picture flashed before his eyes.

Xiao Mo's hand stopped abruptly.

This time he did not sleep or dream. The scene just penetrated his mind directly, as if he had seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears.

Once again, Chu Jinglan fell in his arms, covered in blood, and this time, Xiao Mo felt more pain, not only in his heart, but also in his body.

…It turns out that the blood is not only Chu’s, but also his.

In front of them, someone came over with a sword in hand. He stepped out from the light. Xiao Mo saw his face clearly and his pupils shrank.

Su Baimo, it was actually Su Baimo.

Su Baimo was very tired and had a lot of blood on his body, but he was able to stand. However, Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan did not have the strength to get up. It was obvious who the winner was.

“I won.”

Su Baimo lowered his head and looked at Chu Jinglan, with endless regret in his eyes: "What a pity, I really like you, Brother Jinglan, if you hadn't chosen him, you could have continued to live, wouldn't it be better to be with me?"

Chu Jinglan squeezed out a mocking sound from his blood. He was no longer able to speak, and had nothing to say to Su Baimo.

But I still had a lot to say to Xiao Mo, but it was too late.

The nostalgia and sadness in his eyes seemed to crush Xiao Mo's heart.

it hurts……

Outside the house, Chu Jinglan and a few others were getting ready to leave, but they heard a door slam. Xiao Mo pushed the door open with force and rushed out with a pale face.

Chu Jinglan was stunned for a moment, and seeing that he looked unhappy, he hurried forward and nearly blurted out the word "Xiao", but fortunately he caught himself in time.

"Mo Lan." Chu Jing Lan narrowly called the right name, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Mo was still in shock. He should not have rushed out directly. He should have been calmer and carefully analyzed the scene, or asked the system... But he couldn't do it.

Only when he saw Chu Jinglan still standing in front of him did the excitement in his head calm down a little.

"I..." Xiao Mo opened his mouth, but found that his voice was out of tune because it was too harsh. He swallowed it back immediately, steadied his throat, and spoke again, "I've thought about it, I'd better go with you. I haven't seen the scenery of the butterfly habitat yet."

Chu Jinglan was a little surprised, but naturally agreed: "Okay."

Xiao Mo looked around the courtyard and asked, "Are people from Lingxiao Sect going too?"

Chu Jinglan's eyes moved when he heard that, and he said, "Yes, but they are not looking for Die Jiyu, and they are not going the same way as us."

Xiao Mo didn't know whether he wanted to stare at Su Baimo and see him through, or to get as far away from him as possible. He whispered, "Ah, so..."

Chu Jinglan pursed his lips and looked at Xiao Mo's absent-minded look. He curled his fingers and finally tried to raise his hand and hold Xiao Mo's hand.

The warmth in his palm brought Xiao Mo back to his senses briefly, and he looked at Chu Jinglan in a daze.

Chu Jinglan didn't know whether it was right to do so, but when he saw that Xiao Mo didn't avoid him, he gently squeezed his palm as a silent comfort.

Human palms are warm. Xiao Mo slowly calmed down in the warmth of Chu Jinglan's palms. Not only did he not let go, but he couldn't help but hold it tighter.

Such a small response was enough to melt the frost and snow in Chu Jinglan's eyes. He moved his lips and was about to say something, but he noticed two scorching gazes from the side that could not be ignored.

Yueming and Xitie were looking at each other teasingly, while the other couldn't help but secretly glance at them shyly, making it even more obvious.

Despite this, Xiao Mo seemed unaware and did not let go.

Chu Jinglan immediately brought Xiao Mo closer to him, letting his sleeves cover their holding hands. Chu Jinglan nodded to the two of them and said, "Let's go."

Yueming and Xitie looked at each other and smiled: "Okay, let's go."
