Chapter 62 makes it clear.
The sudden kiss left Mo Xiu completely stunned.
This wasn't their first kiss, but most of their previous kisses had been on the forehead and cheeks.
Although Mo Qi acted very close to her, Mo Xiu often felt that the intimacy he showed her was more like dependence and familial affection.
But the situation just now was different; Mo Qi kissed his own lips! It's a part that only lovers and couples can kiss.
No, it shouldn't be said "just now," because they're still kissing. The man's hands are clasped behind her head, holding her tightly, as if afraid she'll break free, giving Mo Xiu absolutely no room to object.
Mo Xiu was a little stunned by this sudden turn of events, only realizing belatedly that her heartbeat had become erratic.
Not only that, the other person's breath was so close, and the real warmth on her lips made Mo Xiu feel like her whole body was about to burn up.
Although he realized that his feelings for Mo Qi had transcended friendship and family, he fantasized countless times about them being together and doing intimate things that only lovers would do.
For example, kissing, or doing something... he had unexpectedly seen extremely erotic descriptions in a book.
But those were all in my imagination; this was the first time I'd ever had a real, solid kiss.
Come to think of it, that tentative kiss on the corner of their lips before didn't really count as a kiss. So, this was probably their first real kiss!
But why would Mo Qi suddenly kiss him?
Mo Qi hugged and kissed Mo Xiu for a while before letting go. Seeing the young man opposite him looking dumbfounded, as if he hadn't reacted at all, he wanted to laugh, but he held back.
After all, he still had to take this matter seriously.
He wasn't doing this simply to take advantage of his Daoist partner; he was doing it to punish him and to let Mo Xiu know how powerful he was!
Mo Qi tried to convince herself, but at the same time, she couldn't help but steal glances at Mo Xiu's reddened lips across from her, and subconsciously swallowed.
I have to say, the feeling of being close to your Daoist partner is really wonderful!
Of course, now is not the time to think about these things, so after the kiss, seeing that Mo Xiu still didn't react for a long time, Mo Qi had no choice but to take the initiative and ask, "Do you know where you went wrong?"
"Huh?" Mo Xiu was completely bewildered by the question. Weren't they being intimate just a moment ago? Why is she suddenly asking her what she did wrong?
Mo Qi gritted his teeth in annoyance as he looked at Mo Xiu, who seemed completely oblivious to everything.
He knew that Mo Xiu had done that to protect him, but he didn't need Mo Xiu's protection at all.
He had clearly told himself before setting off and on the way that even if something happened, he didn't need to worry about himself; he had ways to protect himself.
He even prepared protective talismans for Mo Xiu in advance, just so that he could be safe.
Although, there were indeed some unexpected situations during this process.
When the level seven zombie self-destructed, he unexpectedly sensed that the zombie's body contained not only demonic energy, but also a trace of power beyond his comprehension.
Mo Qi was all too familiar with this power. He wouldn't be sure about other powers, but this was one he had felt when he failed to ascend in the cultivation world.
This was the first time he had felt such power since arriving in this world. He hadn't noticed anything unusual about the zombies before; it seemed only this level seven zombie possessed it.
Mo Qi couldn't help but think of the rapid leveling speed of these zombies and superhumans recently, and the real reason why his soul had fallen into this small world.
Is all of this really just a coincidence and an accident?
Therefore, after noticing this anomaly, Mo Qi became very vigilant. Even so, Mo Qi felt that with his current strength, protecting everyone would not be difficult.
If Mo Xiu hadn't suddenly rushed ahead of him, how could he have almost lost his composure? You must know, the most taboo thing for a cultivator when using magic is to be distracted!
As a result, because Mo Xiu suddenly rushed over, he was momentarily distracted and almost ruined things. The zombie successfully self-destructed, nearly collapsing the building. Fortunately, Mo Qi was experienced and managed to withstand it.
He rapidly absorbed all the demonic energy from the level seven zombie into his own body, using it as nourishment to temper his body.
However, his rhythm was disrupted, and he was still somewhat affected. That's why he was weak for quite some time after he managed to withstand the aftershocks of the self-destruction, and eventually had to have Mo Xiu carry it on his back.
"Stop pretending with me! Have you forgotten what we agreed on? You said that if anything happened, just leave it to me, but you didn't take it to heart at all!" Mo Qi said through gritted teeth.
"I..." Mo Xiu felt a little guilty upon hearing this, but what could he do? Protecting Mo Qi was simply his instinctive reaction. He refused to believe that Mo Qi could have thought so quickly when he rushed over to protect him earlier.
So even though Mo Xiu felt that logically, since they had agreed on this matter beforehand, he was in the wrong, he still felt somewhat wronged.
However, in Mo Xiu's mind, this wasn't the main point right now. The main point was that Mo Qi had just kissed her!
"Wait a minute, Mo Qi, don't just ask me. Is this all you want to say? Don't you have anything else to explain?" Mo Xiu asked.
"What do I have to explain?"
Could it be that I asked the wrong question? Mo Qi didn't understand.
Mo Xiu felt a little anxious. This was a rare opportunity, and she had to find a way to finalize her relationship with Mo Qi today.
Otherwise, since the person he likes is so good, he always feels that Cheng Cheng, Xie Wu, and that not-so-bright Xiong Gangyong in the team are all eyeing him covetously.
What if I accidentally get poached by someone else?
Thinking back, he realized that Mo Qi had previously been able to restore people infected by the zombie virus back to human form, something he hadn't even known. It was only after Xiong Gangyong's accident that Mo Qi revealed this ability.
Does this mean that Xiong Gangyong's position in Mo Qi's heart is actually not low? The more Mo Xiu thought about it, the more sour she felt, and she couldn't help but show it on her face.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly unhappy? Did I really do something to upset you?"
Mo Qi initially thought he was quite right, but seeing Mo Xiu's current expression, he suddenly wondered if he had really done something to upset her without realizing it.
If Mo Xiu were truly angry, then even if he was right, it would seem like he was wrong. After all, the Grand Elder once said something quite apt: those who try to reason with their Daoist partners will ultimately end up without one…
Fortunately, Mo Xiu wasn't a taciturn person; he wouldn't keep everything bottled up inside. So, he looked at Mo Qi very seriously and asked, "Mo Qi, why did you just... kiss me on the lips?"
"Hmm? Of course it's because you did something wrong, so I'm punishing you." Mo Qi replied, wondering to himself, could it be that his future partner was unhappy because he kissed her without saying anything?
"Punish me?"
This answer was completely unexpected for Mo Xiu. He stared wide-eyed at the man opposite him and said somewhat urgently, "You just kissed me to punish me. You actually think this is punishment? Don't you know that kissing is something only lovers do?"
To his surprise, the man opposite him nodded with a matter-of-fact expression and said, "I know."
He certainly knew what kissing meant; it was a very special kind of intimacy. He wouldn't have wanted to kiss anyone else either; he only kissed Mo Xiu because it was Mo Xiu. So where did he go wrong?
Mo Xiu was shocked by Mo Qi's self-righteous demeanor and continued to ask, unwilling to give up, "Then why don't you explain yourself clearly? Why did you suddenly kiss me? Do you like me?"
Since she had already asked, Mo Xiu decided to get to the bottom of everything.
Mo Qi was genuinely amused by his question. Wasn't their relationship already settled? Why did Mo Xiu have to ask again?
Wait a minute, looking at Mo Xiu's shocked expression now, could it be that he misunderstood or misunderstood in the past?
Wasn't this person secretly in love with him from the very beginning? Mo Xiu came to his side during his most difficult time, treating him well without considering personal gain or loss, and always putting him first, which made him increasingly appreciate the preciousness of this relationship.
Moreover, she had already accepted his feelings a long time ago when they killed that mutated gray wolf. Why is he still asking her this after so much time has passed?
Looking up at Mo Qi by the bedside, she realized that he, like her, had a somewhat bewildered look in his eyes.
Mo Qi suddenly felt that their nonsensical conversation was so childish that she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Do you know how silly you look right now?" Mo Qi said with a smile, his lips curling into a wide grin. His carefree and unrestrained demeanor made him even more dashing, leaving Mo Xiu momentarily stunned.
But he quickly realized that not only had the other person not answered his question, but they were also calling him stupid. So what was this guy laughing at? Was they mocking him?
Mo Xiu was a little angry, determined to get to the bottom of it. Mo Qi, sitting opposite him, naturally noticed the anger on his face and knew that the young man must have been annoyed by his nonsensical laughter.
However, none of that matters anymore.
The next second, Mo Qi knelt on the bed, got up and wrapped his arms around the waist of the person opposite him, pulling Mo Xiu into his embrace.
"I said, did I say something wrong? At this critical moment, you're still asking me if I like you or not. Aren't you stupid?"
As he spoke, the man gently stroked Mo Xiu's cheek with his other hand and kissed her deeply.
This kiss was much more intense than the previous one; Mo Qi didn't hold back at all.
He didn't know what the information gap was between them, or where the misunderstanding had occurred. But since Mo Xiu had asked, he was going to make sure she knew everything.
Mo Qi didn't care whether he had misunderstood before; he only knew that he was determined to have Mo Xiu!
