Mo Xie had anticipated the possible reactions of the Holy Maiden after her awakening—
The first reaction was to angrily question him about why he had kidnapped her;
Okay, that's highly unlikely.
The second reaction was to express resentment towards Mo Xie's palm strike;
This is only natural.
The third reaction is to be aloof, to completely ignore or even hate Mo Xie;
They certainly wouldn't have a good attitude towards the demonic cultivators who kidnapped them.
...
However, Mo Xie's reactions were all incorrect.
Mo Xie was meditating when she sensed the presence behind her and said calmly, "You're awake?"
"Um……"
The saintess gently tugged at Mo Xie's robe. "I'm hungry!"
Not to mention that her cultivation has been sealed again;
Even if one's cultivation level is not sealed, the Grandmaster Realm is far from being able to achieve the level required for fasting and abstaining from food.
Let alone the Zongji Realm, even the Wangji Realm can only be considered extraordinary, able to go for months without eating or drinking.
Only the Emperor Realm, above the King Realm,
Only then can one be considered to have transcended the mortal realm and truly reached the state of abstaining from grains... According to the cultivation system, one can be called a terrestrial immortal.
Those cultivators below the Emperor Realm are merely more resistant to hunger than mortals.
so,
The saintess's statement, "I'm hungry," wasn't meant to be a joke at Mo Xie's expense; she was genuinely hungry.
But... that's not the problem!
Mo Xie was completely taken aback by her reaction upon waking up. He turned around and glared at her fiercely, "Hungry?!"
"Stupid woman, do you even know your current predicament?"
“I know…” the saintess said earnestly.
"Since you know that, why are you still reacting this way?"
"So how should I react? Should I cry? Or curse you, you heartless monster? Or should I refuse to eat or drink to prove my innocence?"
The saintess's clear, luminous eyes stared unblinkingly at Mo Xie. "Will this work?"
Being gazed upon by her eyes,
Mo Xie felt that sense of being seen through again.
That makes sense, but... you're being a bit too rational.
Mo Xie was at a loss for words.
If it were before, he would have thought this woman was heartless and silly.
But now... he understands that her foolishness is just an appearance; she is actually quite cunning!
You never know when she might trick you.
"Besides, you've always acknowledged me as your 'honored wife,' so can't you find me some food if I'm hungry?"
The saintess blinked and said with a hint of playfulness.
"That's because I'm too lazy to explain to a bunch of mortals!"
Mo Xie coughed lightly and said, "Besides... how did you know that?"
Wasn't she in a coma before?
Now Mo Xie knew perfectly well that she must have some mysterious talent, allowing her to perceive the outside world even while unconscious.
He sighed inwardly: "As I always say, no one who can become a saintess of a powerful force is simple!"
“I not only know this, I also know that you stole the child’s kite and candied hawthorn.”
The saintess's eyebrows curved slightly, her expression a half-smile, like a little fox.
It possessed a touch of foxy allure within its sanctity.
Mo Xie coughed lightly, saying without batting an eye, "That was stolen by Gui Ying, what does it have to do with me, Mo Xie?!"
The saintess fell silent; she couldn't believe there were such shameless people in the world.
Although this girl is cunning, using such shameless and underhanded tactics on her is incredibly effective...
The last time he threatened to take off her clothes and take advantage of her, it was the same thing.
Mo Xie felt he had her weakness under control and was quite pleased with himself.
In a good mood, he stood up, stretched, and said, "Alright, what do you want to eat? After all, you're my prisoner, so I need to fatten you up a bit so I can sell you for a good price!"
The saintess ordered, "I'd like to drink Jade Branch Dew or Immortal Grass Soup... Oh, and Earth Core Milk Cake too."
Mo Xie was unaware of the names of these dishes. His predecessor rarely paid attention to food and therefore did not know that these were famous delicacies in the Tianxuan Great World.
but,
He knew that the Jade Branch, the Immortal Herb, and the Earth Core Milk were all precious sixth-grade medicinal herbs! (Note: These are divided into grades one through nine)
If the raw materials are so precious, one can only imagine how precious the food they are made from must be.
Blackheart City, a remote city predominantly inhabited by mortals, couldn't possibly have these things...
Mo Xie said irritably, "No, you can eat whatever I give you. If you don't want to eat, then forget it."
The saintess wasn't annoyed and said softly, "By the way, your name is Mo Xie? My name is Xuan Ling Er!"
Mo Xie shrugged, indicating that she didn't care.
He pushed open the door and went out.
Xuanling'er looked at the closed door.
The clear light in his eyes grew stronger until it became radiant and dazzling.
"This demonic cultivator is truly different from other demonic beings..."
Just then,
Mo Xie suddenly opened the door and walked in, "I almost forgot."
He took out a rope, "Tie me up!"
—This is no ordinary rope, but a mystical treasure. Although its grade is not high, it is more than enough for Xuanling'er, who has no cultivation at the moment.
As Moye activated the rope-like magical artifact.
The rope transformed into a streak of light, binding Xuanling'er.
Hmm, this way of binding has a bit of a playful feel to it—Xuanling'er's curvaceous figure is perfectly displayed.
The artifact maker who created this thing must have had some peculiar fetishes.
"We can't let you get away!"
