Chapter 38 'Enlightenment'.
Thinking about this, Mo Qi's mind went blank for a moment. She didn't know if it was because the leap in their associations was too great, or something else entirely.
Could it be that Mo Xiu really likes me?
He had never really thought about it in this direction before. He only felt that Mo Xiu was good to him, perhaps because he was a good person, or perhaps because he had some connection or relationship with the original owner of the body.
But now it seems I was just too slow to realize it!
There's no such thing as a silly, selfless person in this world who doesn't want anything in return, doesn't ask for any reasons, and just wants to be good to you!
Having known Mo Xiu for so long, I've seen her behavior firsthand; she's clearly not a pushover.
Back when they hadn't yet come to the Shanhe Base, those people tried to morally blackmail Mo Xiu, but they all failed and were thoroughly defeated by Mo Xiu.
But when it comes to himself, he never cares about gains or losses; he only wholeheartedly treats him well.
Mo Xiu was right. He was just too dense to realize it. This person liked him so obviously, and he hadn't even noticed!
Clicking his tongue inwardly, Mo Qi looked at Mo Xiu with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.
This person has been silently giving and secretly in love with me all this time. They must be suffering so much!
In just a few seconds, Mo Qi had already accepted the idea that the person on the other end had always deeply loved him.
And they didn't see any problem at all.
As for why Mo Qi was so certain that Mo Xiu liked him, not the guy whose soul had transmigrated from him.
That person wasn't even a complete soul; to put it bluntly, they couldn't be considered a whole person. Even if someone is called a fool, at least they should be a person with a real soul!
I'm so smart and capable, able to do so many things. In my past life, I was a renowned and revered Demon Lord.
Mo Xiu definitely likes herself; there's no way she could like anyone else!
Mo Qi had an extremely high opinion of himself, and he accepted this sudden "liking" very quickly.
There was no disgust, no avoidance; in fact, there was even a little bit of secret joy in my heart.
If the person who likes me is Mo Xiu, then it doesn't seem like such an unacceptable thing.
After all, Mo Xiu was really a good person. When they first met in this world, it was when they were at their lowest point and needed help the most.
Mo Xiu's arrival provided him with a comfortable life, allowing him to live with dignity even though his powerful divine soul made it impossible for him to control his body.
Mo Qi is not an ungrateful person, and she knows how important everything Mo Xiu has done for her in this world is.
If it weren't for Mo Xiu's appearance, which coincidentally accelerated his cultivation speed and gave him an unexpected opportunity during his journey to absorb the demon core of that mutated sunflower, he would have been completely different.
I'm afraid I still can't speak fluently, can only move slowly, or may appear crazy to outsiders, with my body only occasionally under my control.
As for achieving the state where, after absorbing a portion of the demon core of the mutated gray wolf, one can move freely and appear just like a normal person.
If I were to grind it up little by little by myself, who knows how many years it would take!
So even if we don't talk about feelings, Mo Xiu is not only his meal ticket, but also his savior and the greatest luck he has encountered since coming into this world!
However, these things will not make Mo Qi accept the other person's "feelings".
A Daoist partner is of utmost importance to a cultivator, and Mo Qi felt that Mo Xiu's feelings should also be taken seriously.
So after reflecting on his own slowness for a moment, he also took the opportunity to analyze his current feelings for Mo Xiu.
Mo Qi has never been a conflicted person, so this is not a difficult thing for him.
You either like it or you don't.
Even though he has never liked anyone, and has never thought about what kind of partner he would find in the future, whether the other person would be male or female.
But she also understood that the joy she felt upon learning that the other person 'admired' her was absolutely genuine.
So, you actually like Mo Xiu too?
That solves everything, doesn't it? They're in love!
Mo Qi was lost in thought when he heard the person beside him say, somewhat annoyed, "Mo Qi, are you even listening to me? What are you daydreaming about?"
"Who told you to suddenly run over and carry this for me? If you hadn't been so lucky, those claws might have grabbed your neck, not just your shoulder!"
Hearing Mo Xiu's somewhat angry words, Mo Qi finally came to his senses. However, this time, hearing what she said again, he felt a completely different emotion.
He now understood why Mo Xiu was so angry; she was worried about him!
He said that most people would feel grateful and moved if someone blocked an attack for them, unlike Mo Xiu, who was more anxious and angry.
The other party was completely in his best interest and didn't care about his own safety at all.
If this isn't love...
Mo Qi couldn't help but sigh. Mo Xiu's love for her was truly selfless and profound!
Since that's the case, I shouldn't be too pretentious. After all, they are mutually in love.
Although he had little experience in coaxing his wife, especially since she was a male wife, he had at least seen how things work.
In short, he had lived long enough and had witnessed many relationships between Daoist couples.
He remembered that the eldest elder, who had the best relationship with his Daoist partner, once revealed that if you make your wife angry, just apologize!
Ultimately, it's all your fault, no matter the reason or the problem. Whether it was your fault or someone else's, it's all your fault.
Those who try to reason with their wives end up without one!
Moreover, the elder also said that coaxing one's wife isn't that difficult; the most important thing is to show the right attitude.
Sometimes you don't even need to take any concrete actions; she just wants to see your attitude and feel your affection and love for her, and that's enough.
Thinking this, Mo Qi coughed lightly and apologized to Mo Xiu in a very polite manner, saying, "I was wrong."
The man's sudden remark left Mo Xiu speechless for a moment.
He glanced at the person's face with some suspicion, unsure if the other person truly knew they were wrong, and tentatively asked, "Then tell me, what did you do wrong?"
But when Mo Qi heard this question, he immediately became excited.
Here it comes, the exact same question the Grand Elder asked when he taught the Right Protector how to appease his wife: he really is asking himself where he went wrong!
He quickly recalled the words the Grand Elder had taught the Right Protector and replied, "I was wrong in every way. I have truly realized my mistakes. The worst thing I could have done was to ignore your feelings!"
Mo Xiu wanted to say something more, but Mo Qi quickly and cleverly removed the parts of Mo Xiu's previous reprimand and focused on the key points, saying, "I shouldn't disregard my own safety. I should make sure I'm safe so you don't have to worry."
Upon hearing this, Mo Xiu opened her mouth, not expecting that the other party actually knew exactly where she had gone wrong.
Moreover, perhaps because he was in a hurry, Mo Qi seemed to be much more fluent than usual, and his speaking speed was normal.
"It's good that you know. You must never do such dangerous things again. No matter what happens, remember to take care of yourself first!"
Mo Xiu spoke earnestly, looking into the sincere eyes of the person opposite him. Mo Qi was even more moved, wondering what he had done to deserve such a devoted partner who cared so deeply for him.
Putting aside cultivation level, since there are almost no cultivators in this world, Mo Xiu is truly the best.
Judging solely from appearance, his looks, height, and demeanor are all top-tier, even in the cultivation world. Moreover, his strength and skill are not to be underestimated.
He believed that with Mo Xiu's abilities, he would definitely become stronger and stronger, and perhaps soon he would be able to stand at the pinnacle of this world and become one of the top experts here.
But what's most precious is his affection. Those moments when they were inseparable were clearly the beautiful times that lovers share.
Now, even sweet memories are possible!
So, is there anyone more suitable or perfect as a Daoist partner than Mo Xiu?
The more Mo Qi thought about it, the more pleasing Mo Xiu seemed to him.
Seeing that the other person still seemed worried about him, he simply stepped forward, hugged the person tightly, and whispered to comfort the young man, "I know what you're worried about, and I know I'm wrong, but I hope you understand that I can't just stand by and watch you get hurt."
Seeing you in pain hurts me too, and I definitely want to help you. Put yourself in my shoes: if I were suffering, and you had a way to alleviate my pain, could you really stand by and do nothing?
Putting herself in his shoes, Mo Xiu couldn't find a way to refute him. If it had been Mo Qi suffering instead, and she could have taken his place, he would have done the same.
She sighed softly, "I know, but even so, I don't want you to do that. I really can't bear to see you get hurt..."
Upon hearing this, Mo Qi tightened his grip on her arm even more. Sensing that the other person seemed genuinely not angry anymore, the man felt a surge of joy.
Those tricks really worked!
When I first heard the Grand Elder's words, I found them strange and thought to myself that they were just nonsense. Now, it seems I was just too naive back then.
These theories aren't just random nonsense; they're clearly profound truths!
Mo Qi leaned over and rubbed his lips against the forehead of the person in his arms, feeling his warm skin, and then placed a few light kisses on Mo Xiu's cheek.
They had shared moments of intimacy before. After this "enlightenment," his heart was filled with even more love, and this closeness made Mo Qi feel warm all over.
He smiled gently and pressed his forehead against Mo Xiu's, their breaths mingling, and whispered, "I knew you were the best. I will try my best not to get hurt and not let you worry about me."
With the two so close, Mo Xiu felt a little uncomfortable at the other's sudden action. His ears turned bright red instantly, but because he was used to it, he didn't push Mo Qi away and let him hug him like that.
But I had some doubts. They were always so lovey-dovey. Wasn't it going to be too ambiguous?
