It was late at night.
A strong wind suddenly arose at night, its force somewhat eerie, but Xie still dared not let his guard down for a moment.
Mo Shisheng is currently forming his core, which is the final step in refining elixirs. There can be no mistakes, otherwise it will be extremely dangerous.
Just then, Xie sensed Shangguan Qi's aura slowly approaching the Bamboo Garden.
Oops!
Jiang Ge and Jiang Yao had already fallen asleep by this time, and now was the most vulnerable moment for Mo Shisheng. If Shangguan Qi wanted to make a move against Mo Shisheng at this time, it would be as easy as turning his hand!
Unfortunately, Xie currently lacks a physical form. If he were to make a move, he would undoubtedly need to retract the barrier surrounding Mo Shisheng. Therefore, at this moment, Xie can only pray that Mo Shisheng will quickly complete her Core Formation...
Time passed second by second, and Shangguan Qi had already arrived at the door of Mo Shisheng's room.
As she raised her hand to push open the door to Mo Shisheng's room, she was suddenly attacked on the neck, and her whole body slid limply onto the bed.
Xie remained on high alert, not daring to relax. Only when Mo Shisheng slowly withdrew her inner energy, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and leaned softly against the wall did Xie finally fall asleep.
She had already used up a lot of her internal energy in the battle with Qi Yujin, and she continued to refine pills without resting properly. Her whole body was so weak that she felt like all her strength had been drained, and even her eyelids were so heavy that she could hardly keep them open...
In a daze, Mo Shisheng narrowed her eyes slightly and sensed Shangguan Qi's presence.
The next second, she was suddenly lifted into the air and held in Ming Beiya's warm embrace. She had no strength to resist and obediently leaned against Ming Beiya's chest like a well-behaved kitten.
"I never knew you had such a gentle side."
A faint smile played on Ming Beiya's lips. He had always been cold-blooded and had never known what emotions were, but that changed when Mo Shisheng first entered his life.
His life gradually became more colorful, and this was the first girl who dared to challenge him directly, and also the first girl who aroused his interest...
"you……"
Mo Shisheng was extremely sleepy, but she forced herself not to close her eyes.
"Go to sleep, I won't hurt you."
Ming Beiya couldn't ignore the wariness deep in Mo Shisheng's eyes. He didn't know what made her live so cautiously. In Mo Shisheng, he seemed to see himself.
Mo Shisheng was still thinking about something, but her body couldn't handle the exhaustion. She tilted her head and fell asleep against Ming Beiya's chest.
When Ming Beiya carried Mo Shisheng down from the attic and was about to place her on the bed, he suddenly noticed that her clothes were soaked with sweat.
He frowned slightly. If he let her sleep like this, she would definitely catch a cold when she woke up tomorrow. So... Ming Beiya was faced with an extremely difficult choice...
When he inexplicably carried Mo Shisheng to the hot spring behind the Shangguan Mansion, he was immediately in a dilemma.
It wasn't until the wind grew stronger at night that Ming Beiya finally made up his mind. Holding his breath, he quickly stripped Mo Shisheng naked, soaked her fair body in the hot spring for about half an incense stick's time, and then picked her up.
Ming Beiya wrapped Mo Shisheng in his outer robe, carried her back to the room, and then immediately left the Shangguan residence.
Zhuque, who remained in the bamboo garden, looked completely bewildered. He glanced at Shangguan Qi lying on the ground, a hint of disgust flashing across his handsome face. Then, he picked up Shangguan Qi with one hand and threw her back into Lanyuan Pavilion.
