Chapter 56 Jealousy.
Two days later, Mo Xiu led her team and left the Shanhe Base.
Perhaps because everyone witnessed Mo Xiu's strength during the last mission, most people actually took the initiative to nominate Mo Xiu to be the captain of the Blazing Flame Squad this time.
Since his rebirth, aside from taking care of Mo Qi, Mo Xiu has hardly bothered with anyone else. He has no interest in this so-called captain either.
It was Cheng Cheng and Xie Wu standing to the side, or rather, Cheng Cheng was actively trying to get Mo Xiu to take on the captain's position, thinking it would be very cool and easier to command.
Seeing Xie Wu nodding helplessly beside her, saying she would definitely help, Mo Xiu finally agreed.
Seeing Cheng Cheng's excited expression, Xie Wu was content. Their operation this time had been extremely dangerous, and he hoped to make Cheng Cheng happy.
As for Mo Xiu and Mo Qi, based on his understanding of these two big shots, he estimated that they would definitely not participate in anything other than necessary battles. But to put it bluntly, having them in charge was the most important thing.
The pharmaceutical factory they were going to visit in the suburbs of City B was located in a very remote area, and the journey alone would take several days.
This time, the number of people accompanying them on the mission was even greater than the last time they searched for the professor. Most of them were quite polite to the members of Mo Xiu's team.
However, some people still occasionally show a hint of disgust and disdain when they look at Mo Qi.
They naturally acknowledged Mo Xiu's strength, but they couldn't stand Mo Qi, who not only lacked ability but also needed others to serve him.
If Mo Qi were just an ordinary canary, or like other ordinary people kept by superhumans, knowing how to please others and doing things well, that would be fine.
For example, Xie Wu is very thoughtful in everything she does, and she even helps Lu Pingwan cook for Mo Xiu and the others.
But Mo Qi was different. He acted like a big shot from beginning to end. Except when he was with Mo Xiu, he would sweetly praise her and stick to her. Otherwise, he was completely useless and a complete waste.
They look down on people like that, and even think that everyone in Mo Xiu's team is crazy.
This group of people actually all revolved around this good-for-nothing named Mo Qi, and went crazy with Mo Xiu. Birds of a feather flock together, really.
The team's overall strength is decent, so why are they all so brainless?
Even the base commander's younger brother went crazy, calling that Mo Qi "Seventh Brother," and the other party didn't seem embarrassed at all, really thinking he was someone important!
Mo Qi never cared what others thought, but looking at Xiong Gangyong, who always spoke with them, he also noticed that although Dayong was still trying his best to do things for the team, it was obvious that he was not as good as before, both in terms of spirit and physical strength.
After briefly examining the other party's physical condition with his divine sense, Mo Qi felt that it was probably related to the demonic energy within Xiong Gangyong's body.
After all, for normal humans, unless they are demonic cultivators, demonic energy in their bodies, even if it has been isolated, will still have a negative impact.
Moreover, Xiong Gangyong's ability level is significantly lower than Meng Zhen's, making it even more difficult for him to withstand the attack, and his condition will be more apparent.
Mo Qi had some guesses in his mind, so later that day, when he saw Xiong Gangyong happily bringing him the fruit he had just found, he immediately called someone into the room.
Coincidentally, Mo Xiu was out. Without thinking much of it, Mo Qi took the opportunity of chatting to pat the person opposite him on the shoulder.
"You seem quite tired lately, let me give you a massage."
Mo Qi spoke, but in reality, he barely exerted any force with his hands. He was merely using the movements to try and draw demonic energy from the person opposite him.
Mo Qi had used this method on zombies many times before. But zombies weren't human, so he didn't need to worry about anything; he just had to do it.
But Xiong Gangyong was different. His opponent was just an ordinary human. He didn't know if directly extracting the demonic energy like this would break the balance of the barrier outside, which was of unknown origin. Or, if he wasn't careful, he might prematurely turn his opponent into a zombie.
Therefore, Mo Qi was very careful when he did this. He only tried to extract a tiny bit, so that if anything happened, his abilities would be sufficient to stop it in time.
As he had imagined, the process was indeed not as smooth as he had imagined.
There were indeed some powers within the other party that he couldn't identify, which Mo Qi found quite unfamiliar. But the method used to isolate demonic energy seemed somewhat similar to divine sense to Mo Qi.
So he carefully tried to use his divine sense to envelop the wisp of demonic energy that had separated out, slowly pulling it out of Xiong Gangyong's body and successfully absorbing it into his own.
This process took a long time because Mo Qi was not very familiar with it.
Just to be on the safe side, he didn't use the air-to-ground method; his hand remained on the other person's shoulder the whole time, leaving Xiong Gangyong feeling somewhat bewildered.
Although Seventh Brother felt he was working hard and was willing to give him a massage, which touched him deeply, the pressure was so strong that it made no difference whether he massaged him or not!
Mo Qi thought that Dayong was just a silly boy who wasn't very bright and was young, so he didn't think much when he did it.
What he cared more about was whether he would succeed in removing the demonic energy from the other person's body.
Once a human is completely corrupted and controlled by demonic energy, if they lose all vitality and are reduced to a mere shell, they become nothing more than a gradually decaying walking corpse. But what about someone who has just been tainted by demonic energy?
His soul hadn't completely dissipated, and his bodily functions weren't affected. If he succeeded with Da Yong, wouldn't it mean that such people could be saved if he intervened in time, preventing them from turning into zombies?
Mo Qi knew very well what it would mean if his plan succeeded. Mo Xiu would be safer, and everyone he cared about might no longer have to fear certain unexpected events.
As long as I'm there and act in time, I can prevent the other person from turning into a zombie.
Feeling the extra wisp of demonic energy within his body, Mo Qi was fairly satisfied with the result.
However, it seems I still need to practice repeatedly. After practicing a few more times, I should be able to quickly remove the demonic energy from a person's body, even if the demonic energy in the other person's body is wrapped up like this.
Believe it or not, Xiong Gangyong really was an excellent practice subject delivered right to my doorstep!
Mo Qi was busy with important matters, unaware that his actions were perceived quite differently by others.
Some people in the group saw Mo Qibang giving Da Yong a "massage" through the open door, and their faces showed surprise and disdain.
No wonder the base commander's brother spoke up for this guy named Mo Qi so much; it turned out he had been "seduced" by this person.
It's common knowledge that she's Mo Xiu's woman, yet she still cheats on him behind his back. She's shameless. She doesn't even have the awareness of being a kept woman. She should know who her real sugar daddy is.
Some people, seeing Mo Xiu return from outside after resolving his personal issues, wore expressions of anticipation, as if they were watching a good show.
This guy doesn't have to lift a finger and is living so well. Today they're going to see just how this Mo Qi will fall from grace!
Mo Xiu was initially puzzled by the way people were looking at him. But once he got closer to the room and saw the situation inside, he understood what was going on.
If he was unclear about how others viewed his relationship with Mo Qi before, many things became clear after he finally understood.
Some things can be understood with just a glance, without needing to be said.
However, everyone was wrong. His relationship with Mo Qi was never that of a sugar daddy and his kept woman. Nor was it, as Xie Wu believed, that he and Mo Qi were a couple.
He was just a one-sided lover who hadn't dared to express his feelings yet...
He truly realized that he liked Mo Qi, but what about Mo Qi? Did she like him even a little bit?
Mo Xiu wasn't sure, and didn't know if the other person would accept her after she confessed her feelings.
However, he had to admit that seeing the intimate actions between Mo Qi and Xiong Gangyong in the room made him feel very uncomfortable.
It's Xiong Gangyong again. Why is it always this guy? Mo Qi's hand was even on his shoulder, as if she was giving him a massage. Mo Qi has hardly ever massaged herself!
Mo Xiu felt a pang of jealousy, wondering what was so special about this person? Although he was indeed young and strong, not a bad person, and quite energetic.
If he were just an ordinary teammate, Mo Xiu wouldn't have any complaints about Xiong Gangyong.
The key question is, why does he always manage to attract Mo Qi's attention more than others?
In the past, Mo Xiu could have convinced herself that such interactions were normal. Da Yong was their teammate, so what was wrong with Mo Qi paying a little attention to him?
But things are different now. Mo Qi is not only his important brother and family member, but also the person he loves.
He likes Mo Qi. When you like someone, you naturally have a possessive desire and want their attention and gaze to be on you.
Even if he didn't want to admit it, Mo Xiu knew very well that he was jealous.
So what? He likes Mo Qi, and it's normal for him to be emotionally affected and jealous because of her.
Having lived two lives, this is the first time I've liked someone, and I absolutely don't want to lose to some unexpected troublemaker! What's more, this guy looks just like the Cheng Yaojin from the TV shows I used to watch, with his head shaved and beard shaved!
However, Mo Xiu still remembers that Mo Qi is unaware of her feelings.
As a qualified suitor, he also needs to perform well and absolutely cannot let the other person think that he is a petty and unreasonable person. He must be able to keep his composure.
Therefore, Mo Xiu maintained a calm and composed demeanor on the surface, but her feet betrayed her and she quickened her pace to enter the room.
Seeing that the person opposite was still giving Xiong Gangyong a "massage" with great focus and didn't even notice her coming in, Mo Xiu gritted her teeth.
He took a deep breath, deliberately leaned closer, and smiled at the man, "Mo Qi, what are you doing?"
Mo Qi: Hmm? Why do I feel a chill down my spine for no reason...?
