148: Chapter 148 You've become a lovely girl!

Watching Xiao Yurou suddenly throw herself into Su Mo's arms and weep, everyone was stunned, but they all tacitly remained silent.

Heaven Moon and Immortal Master Qian Ji looked at each other, secretly transmitting their voices.

"Do you know this female Cultivator from the Hegemon Body Sect?"

Immortal Master Qian Ji asked Heaven Moon, thinking that since she was the first to come into contact with Su Mo, she should know some inside information.

"I don't know!"

"Although I have known Su Mo for a long time, I have never seen this female Cultivator before. Could she be his younger sister who left home when they were young?"

Immortal Master Qian Ji frowned; what she saw in Xiao Yurou's eyes was not the joy of a younger sister seeing her older brother.

Instead, it looked like the expression of a wife seeing a husband who had not returned home for a long time.

"The age doesn't match either!"

"Could it be his wife from a previous life?!"

She immediately shook her head, denying her own thought:

"Impossible, how could such a method of Reincarnation exist?"

"Such methods probably only appear in picture book novels..."

She suppressed her full belly of doubts, her eyes scanning back and forth between Su Mo and Xiao Yurou, full of inquiry and curiosity.

...

A moment later, under Su Mo's comfort, Xiao Yurou's emotions slowly stabilized.

She raised her head, tears still in her eyes, and a large patch of Su Mo's chest was wet.

At this time, Xiao Yurou's physique was no longer as robust as before, and the loose Disciple uniform could still not hide the slender figure beneath.

Noticing the gazes of those around her, she realized her loss of composure, two blushes appearing on her fair cheeks, and she stepped back half a step in embarrassment, but her hand subconsciously tugged lightly at the corner of Su Mo's clothes.

"Hus... band... I... I'm fine now..."

Huh?!

Hearing this, Heaven Moon and Immortal Master Qian Ji looked at each other, revealing expressions of shock.

When did this happen?!

However, upon hearing Xiao Yurou's words, Su Mo put away his smile, his brows slightly furrowed.

"You are injured."

He keenly captured the injuries and the instability of Qi and blood within her body; this was clearly a serious injury, not one caused by a sparring match.

Even if it were the mutual combat training of other Hegemon Body Sect Disciples, while it looked serious, the strikes were actually very measured, merely superficial injuries that were a bit heavier.

"It's nothing... I was just too eager for success while Cultivating and accidentally disrupted my Qi..."

Xiao Yurou did not expect Su Mo's perception to be so keen; she subconsciously avoided his gaze and said softly.

Although she had the War Heaven Overlord Body, she had not been Cultivating the Cultivation Technique for long, and was currently only at the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul cultivation; only by fully unleashing her physique could she barely block Gu Qing's hate-filled punch.

She did not want Su Mo to worry about her just after he had returned, and even less did she want him to come into conflict with the Hegemon Body Sect.

Although she did not want to say it, Su Mo merely thought about it for a moment in his mind and connected the events.

He spoke indifferently:

"It was Gu Qing who injured you."

Su Mo's tone carried unquestionable certainty, and seeing Xiao Yurou remain silent, his gaze immediately turned cold.

Among the truths he upheld, there was one, which was:

"If others respect me by a foot, I shall return it by ten; if others offend me, I will make them regret being born!"

"It seems... the strike just now was still too light."

He slowly turned his head. His gaze cast toward the ruins in the distance.

"Husband..."

Xiao Yurou's heart tightened, and she hurriedly grabbed his arm.

The Hegemon Body Sect was a top-tier Sect in the Central Region, with a Mahayana Stage Old Ancestor holding the fort, and there were also many Body Integration Stage Cultivators within the Sect.

As the Saint, Gu Qing's father was the current Sect Master of the Hegemon Body Sect.

Xiao Yurou felt full of security in her heart at this moment, but she was afraid that Su Mo would do something irrational in a fit of anger.

Feeling Xiao Yurou's worry, Su Mo gently patted her hand away and said slowly:

"No need to worry, my current strength is still acceptable..."

...

In the ruins piled up by the collapsed cliff wall, Luo Li had already dug Gu Qing out.

He was checking Gu Qing's condition and found that although he was unconscious due to the disturbance of his Divine Soul and many bones were broken, and he was vomiting blood, his Foundation was not damaged.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and had just taken out a Medicinal Pill for healing, preparing to feed it to Gu Qing.

A figure suddenly appeared beside him without any warning.

Luo Li was so startled that his hand shook, and the Medicinal Pill almost fell to the ground.

He slowly turned his head to the side, only to see Su Mo calmly watching the unconscious Gu Qing in his hands.

Su Mo's eyes were calm, but it made Luo Li, who had seen many storms, instantly feel his scalp tingle.

"Su, Fellow Daoist Su..."

Luo Li's voice was dry, and he subconsciously protected Gu Qing behind him.

"Junior Brother Gu Qing, he..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Su Mo spoke indifferently, interrupting him, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger:

"Elder Luo, please move aside."

"I'm helping him check his illness, the kind that cures it completely."

Luo Li's heart sank completely.

"Fellow Daoist Su, you..."

Su Mo ignored him further, flashed behind him, and a pure white light sword condensed to the extreme appeared in his hand.

In Luo Li's terrified eyes, the light sword in Su Mo's hand had already swung down.

Sss—!

Gu Qing's source of trouble and his bullet bag fell in response, turning into ashes in the scorching temperature.

Su Mo swung his hand back again, carefully cutting a slit for "her," and attached the Law of Light to avoid the risk of it growing back.

Luo Li opened his mouth wide, his entire person petrified, his brain a blank slate.

In this extreme, excruciating pain, Gu Qing's body convulsed, and he was forcibly awakened from his unconsciousness.

"She" looked down at her empty bottom, which only had a smooth cut still emitting white light.

Su Mo smiled slightly:

"Congratulations, you have already become a cute girl."

After a brief, deathly silence.

"Ah—!!!"

Gu Qing's roar resonated over the Training Ground, and "she" violently took out a Jade Slip engraved with profound runes and crushed it fiercely.

"Dad! Master, Uncle Hong... help me kill him!!"

Several majestic and vast Divine Thoughts immediately shot up into the sky from the depths of the Hegemon Body Sect, firmly locking onto Su Mo on the Training Ground.

Five figures with astonishing Aura appeared simultaneously above the Training Ground, their coercion monstrous!

It was exactly the Hegemon Body Sect Sect Master, Gu Tongtian, and the other four Peak Masters.

Gu Tongtian had a resolute face, awe-inspiring without being angry, and when his gaze looked toward the miserably injured Gu Qing, his brows furrowed tightly.

Within his own Sect, the Saint was beaten like this in front of so many people.

This brat is truly extremely arrogant!

His gaze pierced toward Su Mo, who was still standing calmly, his voice cold:

"Who are you, Your Excellency? Why use such vicious methods to mutilate the Saint of our Sect!"

"If you don't give this Seat a satisfactory explanation today, don't even think about stepping half a step into the Hegemon Body Sect!"

Seeing this situation, Su Mo secretly thought.

Beat the small one, and the old one comes; same old routine!

He spoke indifferently without changing his expression:

"Explanation?"

"It was a sparring match between peers; his skills were simply inferior."

"Besides, I helped your Hegemon Body Sect cure your Saint's intractable disease."

He pointed his finger at Gu Qing lying on the ground:

"Look, he can already call for help."

"Shouldn't you all properly thank me?"

"Hahahaha..."

Gu Tongtian was immediately so angry that the veins on his forehead jumped:

"Sophistry!"

"You are courting death!"
