14: Chapter 14 Is the Cold and Beautiful Senior Sister's Heart in Turmoil?

“Greetings, Senior Brother Kong.”

Kong Li shoved Lin Mo aside and continued taking from the young girl's mouth.

Just as Lin Mo was rendered speechless,

[Physical contact made with Kong Li, Second-Class Disciple of Yingxia Peak]

[Detected that Kong Li's romantic feelings are surging. Select him as prey?]

Lin Mo thought to himself that this guy was an indispensable character in what was to follow, and perhaps he would have a chance to kill him.

Since there was no loss even if the task failed anyway, Lin Mo directly confirmed it with his mind.

[Task issued: Drain Kong Li completely to serve as your nourishment]

[Task Reward: Heavenly Eye Divine Ability]

It's actually a Divine Ability?!

This kind of thing was something one could only encounter by chance!

Even many great experts at the Soul Transformation Stage might not possess a Divine Ability!

Lin Mo calmed his mind.

“Senior Brother Kong, I am a person from Senior Sister Ye Zhirou's courtyard.”

Hearing this, Kong Li straightened his back abruptly, patted the girl's perky buttocks to let her leave first, and then turned to look at Lin Mo.

“Ye Zhirou is looking for me? Haven't she and I been out of contact for more than half a year?”

Lin Mo glanced around.

The Inner Sect Disciples of Yingxia Peak were all night owls; at this time, almost no one was walking around.

Without saying a word, Lin Mo handed the lotus bellyband from his chest to Kong Li.

Kong Li, who had a square face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes, immediately buried his face in it and sucked greedily.

“Phew~~~”

“This woman is still as fragrant as ever. She gave me quite a hard time back then, but that taste~”

With an expression of lingering nostalgia on his face, Kong Li stuffed the bellyband into his shirt and said to Lin Mo:

“What's wrong? Was that woman dumped by Qin Changge, and now she remembers me?”

Lin Mo was eloquent and glib, dispelling Kong Li's doubts in no time and even whetting his appetite.

“How come you still have your primordial yang? When that woman gets wild, she isn't very picky. Are you incapable?”

Lin Mo: ...Don't be angry, don't be angry, I won't be angry. What's there to be angry about with a dying man!

“Senior Brother Kong, Senior Sister Ye and Senior Sister Su haven't been getting along very well recently, so...”

“Do I need you to remind me!” Kong Li cracked his neck. “If it weren't for Ye Zhirou's extraordinary skills, I wouldn't bother going to find her.”

“Che~ Don't think I don't know what that woman is thinking. Isn't it just seeing that Su Qianqian and I have been pretty close lately, wanting to pry something out of my mouth?”

“Su Qianqian is a bit prettier than Ye Zhirou, but in terms of Dual Cultivation, she's far, far inferior.”

As he spoke, he started drooling again.

Lin Mo just stood to the side with a smile on his face, saying nothing.

These people all thought they were smarter than others.

Kong Li was, Su Qianqian was, and even the enchantress Ye Zhirou was the same.

Back in the Red Flower Courtyard, why did Lin Mo lay his cards on the table with Ye Zhirou, telling her directly that Su Qianqian wanted to bribe him as an informant?

Naturally, it was because this matter might not stay hidden from Ye Zhirou. Playing two sides was something Lin Mo would never do—the danger factor was too high, and there was no return.

If Su Qianqian really could kill Ye Zhirou without targeting Lin Mo, he would naturally help.

What a pity that they were both thousand-year-old foxes—who were they trying to trick?

Only by holding his life in his own hands could Lin Mo feel at ease.

When he was at the Red Flower Courtyard, he gave Ye Zhirou an idea about using poison, because he knew that ever since Qin Changge entered the Golden Core Realm, he became extremely keen on various Medicinal Pills, techniques, Talismans, and so on.

As Qin Changge's person, Ye Zhirou naturally carried all sorts of strange and peculiar poisons on her.

There was one poison Lin Mo had seen her test out before. Although it was harmful to oneself, it could be fatal to others.

This poison was called Cave Poison.

As the name suggested, it was placing poison inside the child-rearing nursery.

Waiting for the man and woman to enter passionate intimacy, the toxin would transfer onto the man's body.

This poison required a period of incubation, and when the man performed Dual Cultivation with another woman, it would double its transfer onto that woman.

As for whether Kong Li would go look for another woman to perform Dual Cultivation with during that window of time after finishing Dual Cultivation with Ye Zhirou...

Lin Mo wasn't worried about this at all, because Ye Zhirou had the ability to drain a man completely dry!

Lin Mo originally wanted to ask Kong Li for a ride, but this lust-crazed guy went straight to find Ye Zhirou without another word.

Left with no choice, Lin Mo had to walk down the mountain on foot. By this time, the sun was already setting in the west.

The reason Yingxia Peak was called Yingxia Peak was that the side of the peak facing the setting sun was as flat as if cut by a blade, reflecting the twilight like a mirror.

Surrounded by forests staggered in height, looking at the mountain was like looking at an inverted sea hanging down.

“Things on Wang Peilin and Ximen Zecheng's side should have settled down now. In seven days, the Outer Sect will also begin selecting official Disciples from among the Utility Disciples.”

“Anyone in the Qi Refining Realm can be included in the ranks of official Disciples.”

“I am already at the third rank of Qi Refining. Although I can't show it all, I can make a move upward now.”

Lin Mo patted his own head.

Although he had given Ye Zhirou a vicious idea, if it wasn't arranged properly, it would only amount to abetting an evil person.

He wouldn't think about this for now.

The terrain of the Hehuan Sect was extremely high; every nightfall, one could see a bright blue moon and dotted stars.

Just as Li Taibai's poem says: “I dare not speak in a loud voice, for fear of startling the dwellers in Heaven!”

In the gazebo of Qingxue Pavilion's courtyard, which was filled with white plum blossoms,

Gu Qinghuan stood up and paced, then sat back down, repeating this several times.

Ever since entering the Dao, her mind state was like that of an unstoppable Sword Cultivator, never wavering or apprehensive. Distracting thoughts and disturbing people could all be severed with a single sword strike!

Even when she learned that her Golden Core had shattered, she had never been as frustrated as she was now.

Lin Mo could repair her injuries—this was for certain.

But from practical experience, there had to be physical contact.

Although she had joined the Hehuan Sect at the age of six, she had never been intimate with any man. Leave alone intimacy, she hadn't even intentionally held hands with the opposite sex.

It wasn't that she disliked men, but compared to the Great Dao, male affection was insignificant.

“Gu Qinghuan, your heart is in turmoil!”

The cold and elegant Senior Sister beat her own plump and proud chest, causing it to bounce in protest!

“This is serious business, concerning your lifelong path to the Great Dao. You must never let your thoughts wander!”

“Right, I must never let my thoughts wander!”

“Why hasn't he come yet? Could it be that he tricked me earlier?”

Gu Qinghuan sat back down on the stone bench, holding her qiushuang jade sword with both hands resting on the ground: “Forget it, forget it. Why let someone put themselves in danger again?”

“I, Gu Qinghuan, will not go begging again...”

Buzz buzz buzz~

As soon as the communication Talisman lit up, Gu Qinghuan snatched it up in an instant!

Just as she was about to get up to meet Lin Mo, under the faint moonlight, a handsome man who was fighting with a piece of sugarcane walked over from the boundary between light and shadow.

Lin Mo pulled the sugarcane with both hands, his jaw muscles moving, and snapped it with a sudden force!

Gu Qinghuan: ?

“Senior Sister~” Lin Mo waved to Gu Qinghuan, who was a little dazed.

While chewing on sugarcane, Lin Mo handed a long piece to Gu Qinghuan.

“This sugarcane is really sweet, it's just too hard.”

Gu Qinghuan tilted her head: “Where did you get sugarcane?”

Lin Mo looked for a place to spit the pulp: “Yingxia Peak. There's a huge sugarcane forest there, so I casually grabbed two.”

Gu Qinghuan took out a plate and a glass jar from her storage ring.

“Spit it in here.”

Having said that, she drew her precious sword, scaring Lin Mo into shrinking his neck abruptly.

With the continuous sound of sword hums, the sugarcane was cut evenly. Gu Qinghuan pushed the plate in front of Lin Mo: “Eat.”

“Thank you, Senior Sister. Senior Sister, you eat too, it's very sweet.”

Gu Qinghuan pursed her red lips: “When you went to cut the sugarcane, nobody stopped you?”

“No, I didn't see a single soul over there.” Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat. “Could it be meticulously cultivated by some Elder?”

Gu Qinghuan: “No.”

“Oh~ That's good then.” Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

“That sugarcane forest was planted by Yu Meier. Last time someone dug up a stalk, she hung that person up for five days before letting them down.”

Lin Mo tilted his head, and the sugarcane in his mouth instantly lost its sweetness.

But after a moment, Lin Mo continued eating.

Gu Qinghuan's phoenix eyes shimmered: “You're not afraid anymore?”

Lin Mo shrugged: “I've already cut it. If Saintess Yu wants to trouble me, then I should eat even more, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste?”

Gu Qinghuan crossed her arms over her chest: “You're quite an interesting person.”

“Like eating sweet stuff?”

Lin Mo shook his head: “No, I haven't eaten all day, I'm just a bit hungry.”

Gu Qinghuan let out a soft cough: “Sorry, I'm used to being alone and haven't hired any cooks. After my Realm dropped, I've always taken Fasting Pills. Here, one pill can last a day.”

Lin Mo wasn't polite either and took the small medicine bottle: “Thank you, Senior Sister.”

After saying that, he extended his hand toward Gu Qinghuan again.

The cold and elegant Senior Sister thought he felt one bottle wasn't enough, so she took out another bottle from her storage ring.

“Senior Sister, one bottle is enough.”

Gu Qinghuan: “Then what are you reaching out your hand for?”

Lin Mo smiled: “Doesn't Senior Sister need to hold hands with me to repair the injury?”
