113: Section 113
Thinking of this, Su Mo felt quite unlucky.
Da Yi must be pursuing Change, which is why he's expending so much manpower and resources.
If he has to go to such great lengths to pursue a woman,
that means Change isn't interested in him, and I still have a chance!
Thinking of this,
Su Mo felt slightly better.
But when it was time to sleep, he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep...
Chapter 111: Mo, Come With Me
The next day, Su Mo woke up early.
He couldn't sweep the Main Peak anymore, so after eating, he roamed around with a broom.
Just then,
Su Mo saw the Yue Ze Clan gathered in front of a plaza between the lake and the mountains.
Almost everyone was there.
He didn't know what grand ceremony was about to be held.
Su Mo didn't dare to get close, instead, he half-heartedly swept the ground about five hundred meters away, secretly observing what was happening.
Just then,
a woman wearing a veil appeared out of thin air in the center of the crowd. When he saw her, Su Mo's eyes instantly narrowed.
He was all too familiar with the pair of eyes visible through the veil.
It was Change.
It seemed that these people had gathered here to send Change off.
Just then,
those Yue Ze Clan suddenly began to perform a strange dance, circling Change, as if bestowing some kind of blessing upon her, wishing her a smooth journey during her travels.
Su Mo recognized this dance; it was the unique shamanic dance of the Yue Ze Clan.
The Chiqiu People also had it,
but they never performed it.
Su Mo wondered if it was his imagination.
He noticed that Change's eyes were constantly fixed on him.
As the shamanic dance ended, Change said something, and everyone collectively turned to look at Su Mo.
Being stared at by so many people made Su Mo feel immense pressure.
He was very worried that his abnormality had been discovered.
Just then,
the male Yue Ze Clan who had always dealt with Su Mo ran towards him.
"Chiqiu People, come with me."
"Oh, okay."
With a nervous heart, Su Mo followed the man.
As soon as he got close, Su Mo heard Change's clear and ethereal voice.
"For this journey, let him come with me as a servant."
When they heard that Change wanted to take Su Mo with her, various sounds of envy, jealousy, hatred, and sarcastic remarks arose.
"The Moon Wheel Main Peak Master actually chose this Chiqiu People. How are we Yue Ze People inferior to this Chiqiu People?"
"Don't even mention it, this Chiqiu People is now tall and mighty, a good candidate for a servant."
"To still be alive after having the Solar True Fire taken away, the Chiqiu People's life force is truly tenacious."
"Does anyone know his name?"
"It seems to be 'Mo' or something. That name is really unpleasant, how can it compare to our Yue Ze People's names?"
"Exactly, exactly. I wonder if this esteemed adult can change her mind..."
...
The voices rose and fell, and Su Mo also learned the whole story of what had just happened.
It turned out that every time Change went on a journey, she would bring some Yue Ze People to attend to her daily needs.
But this time, she didn't choose any Yue Ze People; instead, she chose him, an outsider, which was why these Yue Ze People were so sarcastic.
Spiritual Linglong suppressed all the voices at this moment.
"Since the adult wants to take him along, then listen to the adult. Since when do you get to question the adult's decisions!"
Upon hearing Spiritual Linglong's words, all the Yue Ze People immediately fell silent.
Clearly, her words carried great authority within the Yue Ze Clan.
Looking at this woman, Spiritual Linglong, Su Mo's heart fluttered, fearing that Spiritual Linglong would discover the resurgence of his Solar True Fire.
However, she didn't say anything else; she merely glanced at Su Mo before fixing her gaze on Change.
"Adult, are there any other requests?"
Change slowly shook her head.
"Let's go now."
After speaking, Change took out a feather fan and gently waved it. Su Mo felt as if a mass of cotton-like material appeared beneath his feet.
Looking down, a cloud appeared beneath his and Change's feet.
However, this cloud seemed incapable of high-altitude flight, only moving at a low altitude.
It flew towards the other side of the lake.
After landing, the cloud dissipated, and Change walked ahead on her own along the main road.
It seemed that
Change did not want to travel by cheating, but rather wanted to walk to Yunmeng Marsh step by step.
Su Mo was overjoyed at this sight. If this was the case, wouldn't he have more time to spend with Change?
"Fairy, Fairy, wait for me."
With that, Su Mo quickly walked beside Change. As they walked side by side, he could faintly smell the faint, ethereal fragrance of the beautiful woman beside him.
Change glanced at Su Mo, who was less than half a meter away from her, and showed no sign of resistance, simply walking forward step by step.
Su Mo was also enjoying himself.
The results of the past two months were finally evident today.
In this ancient era, the roads were not well-maintained; most were dirt roads, with only some sections paved with stones.
But also because of the sparse population in ancient times, everything around was pristine, and the vegetation had not been significantly damaged.
One could say it was even more natural than some wetland parks on Earth.
Both sides were filled with dense bushes, and Su Mo was very careful, preventing any wild beasts from suddenly pouncing.
However, after walking for half a day, Su Mo let himself go.
He looked around, curious about everything.
In this ancient era, many plants and insects that had become extinct in later generations could be seen.
Looking at the vibrant Su Mo, a faint, almost imperceptible longing appeared in Change's clear eyes.
Time quickly came to evening, and the two found a riverbank, resting on a bluestone beside it.
After walking all day, Su Mo was already covered in sweat, and his stomach was rumbling.
In contrast, Change's
body not only had no strange odor, but the faint fragrance became even more elegant.
Su Mo wondered what method Change had used.
The two were not bothered by mosquitoes or flies.
Moreover, every once in a while, the mud stains and dirt splashed on her white dress would be purified by a strange force, making it look spotless.
At this moment,
Change sat on the bluestone by the riverbank, while Su Mo took off his shirt and jumped directly into the river, cleaning himself while also preparing to catch a few small fish to fill his stomach.
Under the bright moonlight, her cold and sacred face gazed at Su Mo, who was swimming, lost in thought.
In the distance, flower petals fluttered, and the rustling whispers of the breeze came, harmonizing with nature, echoing in the empty mountains, drifting faintly.
In the great river, the water flowed from west to east, winding through the earth's veins like silver Dragon scales.
Su Mo, like a white streak in the waves, stirred up layers of water, pushing them against each other until they crashed against the riverbanks, scattering shattered jade and rippling light for a moment.
Before long, Su Mo caught two strangely shaped fish from the river, resembling two sharp swords.
Walking onto the pebble-strewn riverbank, Su Mo's eyes lit up with joy.
"Now I have something to eat."
Although he didn't possess the various characteristics brought by the God of Cookery Talent in the simulation, his long hours of cooking had given him an understanding of cuisine that surpassed most people.
Although he didn't know the names of these two swordfish, it didn't hinder him from knowing how to cook them deliciously.
He went to the side, used the sharp tips of the two swordfish to gut and clean their internal organs, and after rinsing, obtained clean fish meat.
Because of Scarlet Firmament, Su Mo didn't need to build a fire. In just two minutes, the two swordfish were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, exuding a fragrant aroma.
Also, because the fish meat was rich in oil, it looked even more delicious than eel.
Su Mo carefully tore the grilled fish into small strips, wrapped them in clean leaves, and offered them to Change.
"Here, Fairy."
Change did not refuse the fish meat Su Mo offered.
She took it with her delicate hand, removed her veil, and gently brought the fish to her lips, biting it with her pearly teeth and chewing it slowly.
Every gesture exuded elegance.
Su Mo, on the other hand, was not so particular. He bit into the grilled fish in his hand, and for a moment, his lips and teeth were fragrant, and his mouth was filled with bursting oil.
Although there was no salt, the taste was very good.
And he didn't know what kind of swordfish this was; it had no small bones, making it easy to eat.
Just as Su Mo was eating with gusto, a clear voice came from behind.
"More."
Su Mo turned his head.
At this moment, Change sat gracefully, and without realizing it, she had already finished all the grilled fish.
Her beautiful face showed a hint of lingering taste.
Clearly, the grilled fish just now had made her very comfortable.
"Oh, okay!"
A flash of inspiration struck Su Mo; he felt as if he had found the winning Magic Treasure to unlock the Fairy's heart.
Then, Su Mo took the leaves from Change's hand and put fish meat back into them.
After eating a small portion of the fish, Change waved her hand, and the oil stains on her lips and fingers instantly vanished.
"I'm full."
Hearing Change say she was full, Su Mo nodded.
