Chapter 371 Laughing Only for You
Qin Mo was unaware that Wang Yushi had sent someone to monitor him; he was walking with Heatherine back to the Roman temple.
A few months ago, when Qin Mo and others came to Riga, the group of eight traveled by boat and horseback for nearly a month. But this time, only two of them went back together, stretching their legs as if on a spring outing.
"Are Xu Luo and the others alright?" Qin Mo only remembered to ask her inner palace classmate, who was also from the Great Xia, when she was bored.
"You still remember your friends? I thought your head was full of the Book of Light!" Heather said coldly, completely different from her gentle attitude towards Qin Mo a few days ago.
She was truly forced into this situation. As long as she treated Qin Mo well, he would definitely ask her to study the "Book of Light." What was annoying was that Heatherine found it increasingly difficult to refuse him, so she simply reverted to her original saintly demeanor and treated Qin Mo with a cold face no matter what he said.
"I've been a bit absent-minded these past few days, so I forgot to ask about them. It's probably because I lost too much blood recently!" This was Qin Mo being accused of prioritizing romance over friendship! Feeling a little embarrassed, she could only come up with a compelling reason.
"You'll experience mental confusion?"
Heatherine was so angry that her veil fluttered. In the past few days, she had witnessed Qin Mo's ability to be unreasonable and argumentative. He always had various reasons to leave her speechless. His quick wit showed that he was not out of his mind.
"They received my message and will return to the temple in a few days. The Heavenly Beastman army has been retreating continuously, and there won't be a major battle for the time being. There's not much use for them staying here!"
"Is it because of Arthas? Have the Rakshasa and Orcs started fighting amongst themselves?" Qin Mo immediately recalled the scene of Arthas killing Blackhand.
“I’ve investigated the area around Moscow, but neither Arthas nor the orcish high priests know where they are,” Heather said, shaking her head silently.
"Then why would you leave the front lines at this time? Didn't the Temple have plans to take advantage of the situation and capture Moscow?"
"Things aren't that simple. The Temple won't venture that far into enemy territory before receiving definite information. After all, the main force of the orcs is missing, and many would die if they were ambushed!"
"Then let's venture deep into enemy territory together and search! Finding out the true nature of the orcs is what we should be doing." Qin Mo's eyes lit up, and like a little devil, she tried her best to entice her to travel with her.
“The next candidate for Saintess is already waiting for me on Mount Temple. There are some things I must do… I owe the Temple, and now it’s time to repay it!” Heather said quietly, her eyes filled with melancholy.
Qin Mo sensed Heatherine's helplessness. She had grown up in the Temple, which was her former home and everything to her. The Temple had dominated the first half of her life, and she didn't know what the second half would bring.
"In that case, let me take charge of the rest of your life!"
"It's getting dark, I can't walk anymore, let's set up camp and eat!" Qin Mo threw down the pack on her back and plopped down on a rock, refusing to get up.
"You're here again!" The all-powerful Saintess Heatherine immediately put her hand to her forehead, feeling extremely annoyed.
"I really can't walk anymore. My strength is so low, and my injuries haven't healed yet. And you flew so fast!" Qin Mo started setting up the tent and grill on her own, and a picnic and camping scene was about to unfold.
Heatherine sighed, her eyes gentle and kind, and said softly, "You're not feeling well, would you like me to carry you?"
Qin Mo shuddered. Anything out of the ordinary must be a sign of trouble, but she was willing to jump into any opportunity, even if it was a trap: "Fine! You're not going to take a boat, a car, or a horse. I'm too weak to walk!"
Heather carried Qin Mo on her back, just like Qin Mo had carried her before, and that warm feeling... came back!
Her purpose in carrying Qin Mo on her back was twofold: firstly, to repay a debt of guilt, and secondly, because she simply couldn't tolerate Qin Mo's procrastination any longer. This time back in Rome, Qin Mo displayed a completely different "personality" than before—in short, laziness.
He would set up his tent and rest before it got dark, and he would stay in bed even when the sun was high in the sky. He could take two hours to cook, and although his cooking was really delicious, how could he have time to travel like that?
Qin Mo was unwilling to be dragged away by her, and resisted with shouts and screams. She couldn't really strangle him, could she?
If you abandon him, he promises not to chase after you, but the way Isabella, who was not interested in any men, looked at Qin Mo made Heather extremely wary, and she was worried about leaving him alone.
Qin Mo rose and fell with Heather's body, skimming over mountains and lakes with perfect stability.
He wrapped his arms around her neck, resting his head on the side of hers. The two of them were like a pair of swans playing in a lake, their necks pressed together, feeling each other's body heat.
Qin Mo closed her eyes and murmured, "Why can't you slow down a little!"
She said softly, "If I pay off my debts at the temple as soon as possible, I'll be... free!"
Qin Mo said, "That's for the future. Have you ever had that feeling... wishing time would slow down, stop, so the journey would never reach its end!"
Heather paused, then said nostalgically, "Yes, back then, I was on your back. I could have walked on my own, but I just clung to you. That's how I felt!"
Qin Mo remained silent behind her. Heather was a little uneasy. She really hadn't intended to deceive him; she was just infatuated with that warm feeling.
"I'm on your back right now...that's exactly how I feel!"
