Chapter 33 Compromise.
Mo Xiu was speechless after hearing what the other person said.
He really couldn't stand Mo Qi's expression and eyes. In the past, he would have given in long ago when he saw the other party make such a face, but this time was different.
Previously, Mo Qi wanted to hold hands, hug, and sleep with him. She even occasionally wanted him to kiss her forehead and cheek, and he would agree to all of that.
Because of these things, Mo Xiu was still able to convince herself that it was because Mo Qi had suffered too much in the past and had no one to be close to, which is why he developed an unusual intimacy and dependence on her.
But things like licking and kissing ears are going a bit too far.
Clearly, this is the kind of ambiguous interaction that only occurs between partners or lovers.
Helpless, Mo Xiu refused twice more, and seeing that Mo Qi was still staring at her with a wronged look and wouldn't agree to not do it again, Mo Xiu sighed helplessly.
"You really are something... Well then tell me, why did you treat me like that just now?"
"That's what I wanted to do, that's what I really wanted to do. I thought Mo Xiu's ears looked and tasted really good, and I just confirmed it, they really are delicious!"
Mo Qi said it as if it were the most natural thing in the world, which made Mo Xiu both amused and exasperated.
"What do you mean it's delicious? Are you just craving something good? And you say it tastes great? Do you think my ears are braised pig ears?!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Qi frowned in protest.
He wasn't craving it at all! Even if he were, he'd be craving Mo Xiu's ears, not pig's ears. It's not like he's never eaten braised pig's ears before. Pig's ears are nowhere near as good as Mo Xiu's ears. Mo Xiu's ears are much tastier!
No, when did he ever want to eat ears? He just loves Mo Xiu's soft earlobes and the bouncy texture of the whole ear in his mouth! But that doesn't seem right either…
Mo Qi suddenly realized that the reason she acted this way was because she liked Mo Xiu.
Upon realizing this answer, Mo Qi paused for a moment, wondering why he had only realized this so late. Yet, he also felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
Mo Xiu is such a good person, what's wrong with liking him?
Cultivators are solitary, especially the more powerful they are. The longer they live, the more likely they are to be alone, so most cultivators are indifferent to emotions.
Mo Xiu was the same, except that unlike most cultivators who had many family members and relatives at the beginning, he was all alone from the start.
It would be a lie to say that one has never felt envy towards those cultivators who have experienced kinship and intimate relationships.
Although strength is paramount in the cultivation world, there was a time when he was very weak and longed for someone to be by his side.
He doesn't need someone to shield him from the wind and rain; he just hopes to have someone who can truly share his joys and sorrows.
Now that we live in a different world, I can finally have someone to be with me. Why can't I? Doesn't he deserve it?
He is the Demon Lord, and also the strongest cultivator in the cultivation world who climbed to the top after going through countless hardships.
He wants what he wants, regardless of the reasons or whether it conforms to so-called common sense and rules.
He wanted to be the closest to Mo Xiu, to be the most important person in Mo Xiu's heart, and to be closer to him than anyone else.
At this moment, Mo Qi was unaware of what his extraordinary possessiveness represented; he had never had a Daoist partner in the thousands of years he had spent in the cultivation world.
Even if he were in a different world, he never thought of looking for her; all he wanted now was to stay close to Mo Xiu.
As for whether Mo Xiu will have a partner in the future, or rather, a wife or husband, Mo Qi had never thought about it.
Whether it was because they hadn't thought of it or because they were unwilling to think about it deeply, remains unknown.
"I didn't kiss you because I wanted to eat pig's ears. I just thought they tasted good, and I liked them. Please let me kiss you, Mo Xiu!"
Mo Qi explained slowly and deliberately, and without any pressure, he acted coquettishly towards Mo Xiu. After spending some time together, he already knew very well how to get the other person to comply.
The man's cool voice, unique slow tone, and coquettish manner immediately made Mo Xiu unable to resist.
Mo Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly to herself. She had lived two lives, but there was one person she couldn't do anything about.
His gaze fell on the small cut left on the other person's fingertip from biting it while drawing the talisman, and the young man slowly exhaled.
The other person has been so good to him, and so understanding, never hiding their special status from him. Is he really going to refuse such a small request?
But if I agree, wouldn't things get a bit chaotic...?
As far as Mo Xiu was concerned, Mo Qi was still in a stage where he was somewhat confused about everything. He should properly explain to him what was right and what was wrong.
But then I thought, it's already the end of the world!
Does he really need to be so particular about all those rules and regulations and waste his time on these things?
To put it bluntly, if something unexpected happens tomorrow, and I've upset Mo Qi because of my agonizing over these things, then when he looks back on his life at his last moment, he will definitely regret it.
In his previous life, Mo Xiu lived each day as if it were his last, which had long since ingrained this way of thinking in him.
Looking at the man opposite him who was staring at him expectantly, focusing all his attention on him, Mo Xiu finally sighed helplessly and said, "Okay... but you can only hold it in your mouth, not lick it."
After saying that, Mo Xiu was speechless at his own compromise. But seeing the immediate look of joy on the other person's face, he felt that agreeing wasn't so bad after all.
"I really don't know if I owed you something in my past life..."
After saying this, Mo Xiu was stunned. Wasn't she someone who owed him from her past life? No wonder she had made concessions for Mo Qi time and time again.
However, he deserved it all. After all, he was worthy.
Mo Qi was quite obedient, although she was still somewhat dissatisfied, but she knew that this was already the result after Mo Xiu had made concessions.
So he hugged the person contentedly and then nibbled on their ear. Hearing the young man's suppressed breathing, he felt a surge of heat in his own heart for some reason.
Mo Xiu smells so good. Why is it that whenever I'm close to him, I feel a sweet and joyful sensation?
Could this be the legendary "furnace effect"?
Although Mo Xiu lacked experience, he had heard of it. Those cultivation furnaces in the cultivation world, simply by existing there, could exert a tremendous attraction on cultivators. Could it be that Mo Xiu was one of them?
He even made a point of checking, and found that there wasn't much difference in the speed of cultivation between sucking on an ear, holding hands, and hugging each other.
Even so, he still wanted to be closer to Mo Xiu.
He quietly planted two kisses on the other person's neck. Seeing that the other person didn't react and seemed helpless, Mo Qi let out a satisfied sigh.
It had nothing to do with the speed of cultivation; anyway, he felt very happy after doing it.
Seeing that Mo Xiu's cheeks were flushed, and that she was only signaling with her eyes not to go too far, and that her eyes didn't seem to have any intimidating power, Mo Qi's heart softened.
He released her mouth, hugged her tightly, and nuzzled her cheek several times before whispering in her ear, "Mo Xiu, I love holding you like this, I love kissing you. You are the most important person in the world to me. I love Mo Xiu the most!"
Hearing this, Mo Xiu's heart fluttered. He buried his head deeply in the man's neck and said earnestly, "You too..."
In the days that followed, the two became even more affectionate and clingy than before, making the oblivious Cheng Cheng clearly sense that something was amiss.
However, he only muttered a few words to Xie Wu and Lu Pingwan beside him. Seeing that the two of them ignored him whenever the topic came up, the carefree man quickly put the matter out of his mind.
In private, Mo Qi also began to study magic arrays and talismans with great focus. In this completely new world, the application of magic arrays and talismans has actually changed somewhat.
Fortunately, the principles are the same, and the essence remains the same despite the variations. Although the spiritual energy in this world is depleted, Mo Qi is a demonic cultivator, so it is not difficult for him. He carefully recorded the talismans and magic arrays that he successfully tested.
Moreover, Mo Qi would actively show off every little achievement he made to Mo Xiu. For example, today he used illusion talismans to create some golden butterflies.
Butterflies fluttered around the room, creating a beautiful scene. Upon seeing this, Mo Xiu immediately showered them with praise.
Hearing the other person's joy and praise, Mo Qi felt even more satisfied than when he had made progress in his cultivation.
Unfortunately, the happy days didn't last long. Just half a month later, as Mo Xiu had predicted, a bunch of miscellaneous troubles came knocking.
Xu Liang was one of them. He felt the time was right, so he approached Xie Wu to inquire about the situation on their end. After all, in his mind, Xie Wu was one of his subordinates.
Xie Wu followed Mo Xiu's advice and temporarily dealt with the matter, saying that he had only just integrated into the other party's team and could not do more.
Xu Liang listened and thought it made sense. With such a short time, it wasn't surprising that he hadn't immediately convinced Mo Xiu. However, he still needed to urge him on.
After Xie Wu returned from Xu Liang's place, he immediately reported the matter to Mo Xiu.
Mo Xiu weighed the pros and cons and had Xie Wu tell Xu Liang that she was somewhat tempted and asked him to bring more benefits.
If Mo Xiu had considered the possibility of fleeing before, even if he wanted a lot of things, it wouldn't have been convenient for them to take them. But now it's different; he has the magical backpack that Mo Qi prepared for him, which allows him to take more supplies.
"If you have time in the next couple of days, you can go again and say that I'm starting to waver, implying that he should show more 'sincerity'."
You should tell him that if others see him doing this, they'll know I'm being watched by him. Furthermore, if he offers enough incentive, others will have to think twice before trying to recruit me.
Mo Xiu said to Xie Wu, and upon hearing this, Xie Wu immediately turned around and went to find Xu Liang.
Sure enough, after receiving this signal, the other party started coming over every few days to deliver this and that.
