"Shushu, Shushu! How's it going? Have you found any helpers? I must go and beat those demons into oblivion so that they can never harm good people and spiritual beasts again!" Seeing Mu Yijie walk in, Yong Shanling excitedly threw herself into his arms, blinking her big, watery eyes and looking at him eagerly. Unfortunately, the excitement in her eyes was not because of seeing Mu Yijie, but because she was about to go into battle.
For someone who was crazy about cultivation, exorcising demons and strengthening herself was the most exciting thing.
"I've found them. It's the Ye family from the cultivation world. We can tell from the previous incident of the spiritual herb that the Ye family holds a significant position in the cultivation world. So it's best to just turn to them. They'll handle the rest." Mu Yijie took Yong Shanling's hand and said with a smile.
"Great! Does that mean I can go and raid those demons' lair right away?" Yong Shanling was so excited that she was about to jump up and dash out immediately.
Mu Yijie pulled back the excited Yong Shanling with a smile. Looking into her eyes, his own sparkled with starlight. "Are you really that happy?"
"I'm very happy. Exorcising demons is the thing that makes me happiest. But of course, what makes me happiest of all is being with Shushu." Yong Shanling tilted her head and peeked at Mu Yijie with a mischievous smile. Taking advantage of his distraction, she suddenly jumped up and kissed him on the cheek.
The next second, she ran away with a tinkling laugh.
Mu Yijie stood there stunned. This seemed to be the first time Yong Shanling had kissed him of her own accord. Although they had kissed before, this time it was Yong Shanling who had taken the initiative to kiss his cheek. It sent a tingling sensation through his body as if he had been electrocuted. The feeling spread from his cheek to his whole body, making him break into a toothy grin, as if he had returned to his teenage years.
"Tsk - tsk - tsk!" A teasing voice sounded. Li Zhuo, leaning against the balcony with a sunny smile on his face, was looking at him playfully.
"Bro, I haven't seen that goofy smile of yours in years. This girl has really got you wrapped around her little finger."
Hearing Li Zhuo's voice, Mu Yijie came back to his senses. He gently touched his cheek with his hand and then kissed his fingertips. "What? Are you jealous? Are you and your Xiaohua making as much progress as we are?"
Hearing Mu Yijie's question, Li Zhuo's face flushed instantly. He suddenly remembered his girlfriend's bold and unrestrained behavior after they got together. Even as a tough guy, just thinking about it made his heart race and his face turn red. Who would have thought that a pure - hearted old demon from the mountains would go all the way on the first go?
"Humph! I'm much better off than you guys. We're already at the stage where we can get married. Have you reached that point?" Li Zhuo retorted defiantly. Although he felt ashamed of that situation, it didn't stop him from showing off in front of his bro.
Mu Yijie understood his implication and just gave him a disdainful look. "We respect each other. We'll get together when the time is right."
With that, he walked away. Only when he reached the stairs did his voice drift back. "You and Hou Hua don't need to go on this mission. Yong Shanling and I will go. You guys just provide backup."
Li Zhuo stood there, constantly wondering if his bro knew something.
"Knock - knock." There was a knock on the door. "Ling'er, I'm coming in."
After saying that, he pushed the door open and saw the little one who was brave enough to act but too shy to face the consequences covering her head. She was curled up under the covers, motionless.
He went over, pulled her out, and hugged her in his arms. Smiling gently, he asked, "Little one, are you too shy to admit what you've done? Are you even shy with your own boyfriend?"
Hearing Shushu's taunting words, Yong Shanling's competitive spirit was instantly aroused. She suddenly raised her head and said proudly, "Why shouldn't I admit it? I kissed you. You're my boyfriend. It's only natural for me to kiss my boyfriend!"
After saying that, she kissed Mu Yijie hard again and then immediately tried to run away. But the next second, a pair of hands firmly held her head in place, and a passionate kiss came crashing down on her delicate lips, lingering and exploring.
The air gradually became hot, so scorching that it seemed as if it would burn them both.
After they had been intimate for a while, Yong Shanling curled up in Mu Yijie's arms. Embarrassed, she buried her head under his arm while the other hand pinched his soft flesh.
Shushu was really too bad. He had made her make such strange sounds. The worst part was that she had been completely undressed while Shushu was still fully dressed.
Mu Yijie gasped and caught the little one's mischievous hand in his own. He kissed it. "Okay, girl, don't be angry. It's all Shushu's fault."
Hearing Shushu apologize, Yong Shanling gave a soft snort.
"By the way, Shushu, when are we going to wipe out those demons?" After calming down, Yong Shanling remembered the demon - slaying mission she had been looking forward to.
"Tomorrow. If we wait any longer, things might go wrong." Mu Yijie thought of Ye Wei, who had chased them that night. He was determined to capture her and find out how much she had been involved in all the things they had experienced.
"Okay, Shushu. I'll definitely save all those people and spiritual beasts," Yong Shanling said firmly.
"Okay, but this time it'll just be the two of us. The others will provide backup outside. I have a feeling this thing isn't that simple." He remembered Ye Sen's two rejections of his request to join. There seemed to be some hidden truth they didn't know.
Ye Sen's actions made him more cautious about this mission. He decided to have Ye Qing and Hou Hua, two cultivators, take Li Zhuo and wait outside to back them up in case they were in danger of being silenced.
After all, if he hadn't insisted on bringing one more person, he wouldn't have been given that jade token. This showed that Ye Sen had originally intended to silence them.
Yong Shanling thought about what was strange about this. Did those people have some deal with the Ye family? Or was it something else? It didn't seem right.
The Ye family in the cultivation world could be considered the uncrowned king among the cultivation families. What kind of deal would they still need to make?
Her little head just couldn't figure out any other reasons.
So she simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, she would take care of the fighting part, and she'd leave the thinking to Shushu.
She happily put this matter out of her mind and immersed herself in cultivation again.
Mu Yijie, who had originally planned to cuddle his little girlfriend and have a good sleep, looked at his little girlfriend cheerfully going into meditation with a bit of helplessness. Finally, he decided to start cultivating too. Otherwise, it would be quite embarrassing to always be out - performed by his girlfriend.
