Chapter 248 Black-Hearted Lotus Junior Brother 16
Mo Chen remained silent throughout, which angered the leading demon. "I'm talking to you! Why are you giving me that deadpan look?"
"Don't be angry, boss. I heard even his own mother didn't want him. This good-for-nothing is just taking up space. Why don't we..."
Mo Chen was dragged to the cold ground, and the blade, mixed with bone-dissolving water, was used to cut into his body, one cut at a time, into the warm, viscous blood.
Waves of intense pain coursed through his body, piercing to the very marrow of his bones; he was in so much pain that he couldn't even utter a sound…
The temperature inside the cave plummeted, and Xu Qiuqiu noticed that even the fire was emitting a chill. She looked toward the source of the cold.
Mo Chen's body was trembling, as if he were having a nightmare.
"Ah-Fen, wake up." Xu Qiuqiu reached out to push him, but her hand got frostbite as soon as she touched his arm.
how so?
She rummaged through her storage bag and found a bottle of general-purpose healing pills. She took one out and intended to feed it to him.
Before she could even bring it to his lips, his breath was icy cold, making her hands ache even more.
She endured the pain and fed the pill to his lips, but he held it in his mouth without swallowing.
She was almost frantic with worry, and her hands were aching from the cold. She had no choice but to transfer some of her spiritual energy to him, hoping to alleviate the chill in his body.
The drowsy Mo Chen unconsciously moved closer to the source of warmth, and his furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
However, Xu Qiuqiu's spiritual power was ultimately limited, and she began to feel tired and weak.
Seeing this, 003 couldn't help but advise, "Host, if this continues, you'll exhaust your spiritual energy and faint!"
Xu Qiuqiu didn't stop what she was doing. "Do you have any way to help him?"
“No…” 003 thought for a moment and suggested, “How about the host learns the methods of keeping warm from novels?”
"For example what?"
003: "In novels, the male and female protagonists always take off their clothes and hug each other, and they're fine after one night. Why don't you give it a try, host?"
Xu Qiuqiu: "..."
"Are you sure it will work? I just touched him and my hand got frostbite. If I take off my clothes, won't I turn into an ice sculpture?"
003 confidently stated, "Host, I've done my research! Two people hugging each other can keep each other warm, especially when there are no clothes on, the effect is even better."
Xu Qiuqiu was skeptical. "Really? If I freeze into an ice sculpture, all I'll ever eat will be braised rabbit heads!"
003 was startled and hesitated before saying, "Why don't you just leave the second male lead alone? Maybe he'll pull through on his own."
Xu Qiuqiu withdrew her spiritual power; if she continued to use it, her spiritual power would be exhausted.
As soon as the warmth subsided, Mo Chen's brows furrowed again.
Seeing Mo Chen's distress, Xu Qiuqiu remained silent for a while before starting to untie the ties of her clothes.
She stripped down to just her inner garment, climbed onto the stone bed, and hugged Mo Chen. Perhaps because she had transferred too much spiritual energy, she wouldn't get frostbite, but it was very cold, bone-chillingly cold.
Her hands trembled as she tried to pull off Mo Chen's clothes. It was so cold that she had to use her weak spiritual power to remove them.
She pressed her face against his cold chest, which made her shiver. His chest was covered in scars and uneven.
Before she could think any further, she was frozen unconscious by the icy chill.
Mo Chen had a beautiful dream for the first time: a clear blue sky, a sea of flowers, a gentle breeze carrying a delicate floral fragrance, and warm sunlight that made him feel incredibly comfortable.
When he opened his eyes, all he saw was a pale, bare back, and his hands were still tightly embracing her…
Could the warmth in my dreams be...?
Although he didn't understand anything about love, at this moment they were actually embracing skin to skin, and his mind went completely blank...
His face turned red all the way to his neck, and he didn't know what to do for a moment...
He looked around. The ice shards melted into water. His old injury flared up last night, causing the cold air to rise. So, was it his senior sister... trying to warm him up like this?
His heart began to ache, and he felt completely tender.
Looking down at her pale face, his heart ached as if it were being squeezed.
He could tell that she seemed to have almost exhausted her spiritual energy and had been frozen all night, so she had already fainted. He unconsciously rubbed her neck and then transferred some spiritual energy to her to help her recover.
He wanted to let go of her, but found that she was holding him very tightly. He couldn't bear to push her away, and the heat on his face didn't subside.
After a long while, Xu Qiuqiu woke up and found that the person she was holding had warmed up. She moved slightly, but the feeling of fatigue was still there.
"Senior sister, you're awake."
A hoarse voice sounded, and Xu Qiuqiu mumbled an "Mmm".
Mo Yun's ears turned bright red, and she whispered, "Senior Sister, I want to put on some clothes..."
These words jolted Xu Qiuqiu awake, and she finally realized how ambiguous their relationship was. Last night, A-Fen had been stripped naked by her, and she was left with only a blouse...
She quickly let go of his hand, creating some distance between them, and dared not look at him.
She quickly realized something was wrong. It seemed that in ancient times, she was the one who was at a disadvantage, and he should be held responsible.
She made up her mind, looked up at him, and found that he was already dressed.
As expected of the cultivation world, they change clothes way too fast!
Meeting Xu Qiuqiu's gaze, Mo Chen's recently subsided heat surged back up, and he asked somewhat awkwardly, "Senior Sister, why are you looking at me like that..."
Xu Qiuqiu sat up in bed and looked at him. "A-Fen, last night... shouldn't you take responsibility for me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Mo Chen's neck turned red, and she stammered, "I...I..."
Okay, so you're going to act like a submissive wife to her?
"Ah-Feng, do you... not want to take responsibility for me...?" Xu Qiuqiu's eyes were filled with sorrow, as if she was heartbroken to the extreme.
After saying that, she lowered her head and began to sob softly.
Mo Chen panicked immediately and hurriedly said, "No, no, I will take responsibility for my senior sister..."
Xu Qiuqiu chuckled to herself. 003 hadn't lied to her after all; A-Fen's main personality was easy to win over. Beneath his cold exterior, he was quite innocent.
She pretended to wipe away non-existent tears and said coquettishly, "Ah-Fen, come here, don't stay so far away from me, okay?"
Mo Chen obediently walked over, but her eyes didn't know where to look. Her eyes were too attractive; if you looked at them for too long, you would unconsciously fall in love. And looking down, you could see her fair, jade-like skin...
He was somewhat at a loss.
Xu Qiuqiu, unaware of his inner turmoil, took his hand and pulled him to sit on the edge of the bed. "A-Fen, will you let me stay by your side from now on?"
Stay by his side...
Mo Chen found those words particularly touching. He had always been used to being alone, and this was the first time someone wanted to be by his side…
He never seemed to reject her from the very first time they met.
He was afraid of this strange feeling; the more he desired something, the more he feared it. But when she said she wanted to stay by his side, his heart fluttered, and he longed to have her...
