Youth fades quickly, and beauty withers easily, but for the demon race, these are obstacles that can be overcome. After thousands, even tens of thousands of years, the only thing that changes is the weathered aura they exude.
Jinmu Qingjiao knelt on the ground, looking at Mo Yan with a guilty expression, not daring to speak.
"Get up. You did nothing wrong. You just met the person destined for you." In front of Mo Yan was a very elaborate tea set.
Jin Mu Qingjiao stood up and looked at Mo Yan with some doubt. Her seemingly disheveled but not old face had a pair of shrewd and mysterious eyes that gleamed. "Gu Liyan, Gu Liyan, you really are a variable..."
——
As day turned to night, another rainy night arrived. Mo Li, due to the severity of his injuries, was now delirious and feverish, muttering incoherently, "Don't go..."
Sitting at the table with a worried expression, Mo Han glanced at Mo Li and frowned slightly.
"Master..."
Mo Han looked at Mo Li, whose pale face was devoid of color and even appeared sickly and frail. His already handsome face made people feel even more sorry for him.
"Born with a body of profound ice, and with exceptional talent, you were originally the one who could have become the successor of Thousand Absolute Mountain. Your master only allowed you to cultivate your body but never to enter the Dao... Now, I understand your master's intention..."
It turns out that he had already calculated that you would become a person of the underworld, and even more likely become the successor of that lineage. He was afraid of creating a great enemy for himself!
But……
Looking at Mo Li's pale face, Mo Han still didn't understand: "Why you of all people?"
"Cough cough..."
Just then, Mo Li coughed awake and groggily opened her eyes. Seeing Mo Han standing beside her, her heart warmed. "Senior brother..."
"Awake?" Mo Han nodded and said nothing more.
Seeing Mo Han's solemn expression, Mo Li asked worriedly, "Are you worried about Master...?"
“The Master Gu Yan we know is just one of his avatars,” Mo Han said. “He has two souls, one is the soul of a fox demon, and the other is the soul of a human god. They can be divided into two and then combined into one. As long as one of them does not die, he will live forever.”
Mo Li was stunned, never expecting that the master in her memory was such a person!
Seeing Mo Li staring blankly at him, Mo Han said, "Mo Li, if you ever meet him, you must run far, far away! No, it's best if you don't meet him at all!"
Mo Li was somewhat surprised, sensing the intense dislike Mo Han felt for Gu Li. He became puzzled, "Senior brother, you and Master..."
"He is not worthy to be our master!" Mo Han suddenly became agitated.
Mo Li was slightly taken aback, not expecting that Mo Han would also have moments of emotional agitation.
"This matter... go back and ask Yan Ligu." Mo Han calmed down and slowly said, "You just need to recover from your injuries and guard this city with that kid Mo Chen. You don't need to worry about anything else, just leave it to me."
"Senior brother..." Mo Li didn't know what to say at this moment. Originally, this was his own task, but he didn't expect that Mo Chen would come to help him, and his senior brother would come too.
Mo Li felt like a newly grown bird that had just taken flight but hadn't flown far before being pulled back down...
This feeling made him feel extremely inferior.
So, is it because he's too weak?
Seemingly sensing Mo Li's thoughts, Mo Han stepped forward, patted Mo Li's shoulder, and said, "Xiao Li, this world is not as simple as you think, but it is not as complicated as you think either. The reason you cannot sense the spiritual energy in this world is not because it does not exist, but because you have not found its source!"
When Mo Li heard Mo Han call him "Xiao Li", he couldn't help but tremble. Then, as Mo Han spoke to him, he was instantly transported back to the brotherhood between the two of them in their childhood...
"The world's energy is conserved. Since you were born without a demon core, you naturally cannot generate energy on your own. However, this is not a bad thing, because you can borrow the energy of heaven and earth to contain all rivers!"
Mo Han explained with a serious expression, and Mo Li listened attentively. And so, the two unknowingly spent what was supposed to be a rainy night...
When Mo Li woke up again early in the morning, he found that the rain had stopped. He stared blankly at the empty room and asked, "Senior brother?"
Mo Li suddenly remembered something, hurriedly got out of bed, pushed open the door and went out, bumping into Mo Chen. The latter was slightly surprised, "Why are you running around when you're still injured?"
"Where's my senior brother!" Mo Li asked anxiously. "Did he go looking for Gu Yan alone?"
Mo Chen was speechless. Mo Han had just told him to keep it a secret, and now he'd guessed it. What was there to hide? Your junior brother may seem innocent and a bit rigid on the surface, but deep down he's still a fox, cunning as ever!
Helpless, Mo Chen could only say, "Don't worry, he was just following you. Focus on recovering!"
Mo Li frowned but didn't say anything. She silently turned around and went back to her room to lie down obediently.
Mo Chen was slightly surprised. "So obedient?"
Stepping forward and looking at the bored Mo Li, he couldn't help but smile. "Young Master Mo, your obedient appearance is making me uneasy! If word got out, who would still believe that you, sir, are the God of War who rescued the people from their suffering?"
Mo Li rolled her eyes. "What God of War? I have no interest!"
Mo Chen chuckled. "Oh? Is that so? I thought you'd have a higher status after getting the title of God of War and returning to General Hua's side. Since you don't want it, I'll have Xiao Kun help you refuse the title!"
Mo Li jumped up from the bed in an instant. "What did you say? This is acceptable?!"
Mo Chen smiled and squinted, "Of course! Since Hua Baixian is a soldier in this life, she naturally admires heroes who are dedicated to the country and its people!"
Mo Chen, with a sly grin, imparted his wisdom: "You're too green when it comes to picking up girls. Do you know why she had doubts about you before? It's because you were always trying to like her from your own perspective, instead of trying to be the person she likes!"
Mo Li looked at Mo Chen with disdain. "Oh! I see, so you're a womanizer after all!"
"Go away, I'm not dead, what kind of womanizer are you!" Mo Chen rolled his eyes.
"As the saying goes, even a ghost can be romantic!" Mo Li said with a grin.
"Say it again and I'll cut off your food and drink! How come I never noticed you were this mischievous before?" Mo Chen glared at Mo Li.
"I only just found out you have a history of romantic entanglements! Big brother, could you teach your little brother a few more tips on how to pick up girls?" Mo Li chuckled as he spoke.
“Let me tell you, you can’t spoil her. The more you spoil her, the less she’ll respect you! Believe me, the moment you leave, she’ll turn around and secretly wipe away her tears…”
Mo Li listened with a smile. He didn't want Hua Mulan to shed tears for him, but if one day she really cried on her own, it would feel like going back to the beginning, and he would be so happy!
But then he suddenly remembered the day he was seriously injured, and the clear, crystalline tears he saw in Mulan's eyes...
Are they tears?
Mo Li suddenly realized that Mulan might like him!
He immediately made up his mind that once his injuries healed, he would go back and secretly take one last look at her.
Just one glance!
