Yong Shanling frowned and picked up her phone. "What? Isn't this my phone..."
Seeing the message, Yong Shanling suddenly came to her senses. She looked up at Mu Yijie with a pale face and said, "Uncle Jie, please listen to my explanation!"
"Speak! I'd like to hear how you explain this!" Mu Yijie said expressionlessly, crossing his arms and looking at her. Gone was his former gentle self. His cold look stabbed Yong Shanling's eyes deeply.
"Actually, I didn't know that staying by your side could help me improve my cultivation. I originally wanted to stay with you to exorcise demons and gain some merits. After all, you're a person with great merits, and those demons always like to cause trouble for you. I really never thought of using you. Besides, can't you see my feelings for you?" Yong Shanling's face was deathly pale as she tightly grabbed his arm.
She had never been so flustered before. She couldn't imagine the consequences of losing Uncle Jie.
"So you stayed by my side for cultivation, right? Do you love me, or do you love me because of my merits?" Mu Yijie stared deeply into Yong Shanling's eyes, his hands clenched tightly.
Yong Shanling was a bit confused. "Uncle Jie is just Uncle Jie. Merits are originally a part of Uncle Jie. Being with Uncle Jie means I can not only be in a relationship with him but also improve my cultivation. There's no conflict, right?"
In Yong Shanling's simple mind, she had never thought about whether she was with him because of the person himself or the material things attached to him.
In her opinion, as long as these things were originally his own advantages.
So she thought it didn't matter what the reason was, it wouldn't affect their relationship. She simply couldn't understand why Mu Yijie was so angry.
Hearing Yong Shanling's words, the hope in Mu Yijie's eyes was extinguished.
He smiled bitterly. "So your love for me before was indeed mixed with the fact that I have great merits, right?"
Yong Shanling nodded affirmatively and replied seriously, "Yes!"
Her straightforward answer made the anger in Mu Yijie's heart burn even more fiercely. "From the very beginning, you stayed by my side just for cultivation, right?"
Yong Shanling thought for a while. At the beginning, she really did follow Uncle Jie to catch demons, so she nodded.
"Then you agreed to be with me because you didn't want me to be taken away by others, right?"
Yong Shanling recalled that she didn't want to share Uncle Jie's care and love with others. She didn't want other women to be by Uncle Jie's side and become his wife. She just didn't want Uncle Jie to be taken away.
That's right, there was nothing wrong with that. She nodded again.
Their conversation that didn't match at all made Mu Yijie's heart completely cold.
He thought Yong Shanling thought she had already captured him, so she was fearless.
Should he thank her for her straightforwardness?
"So you've been after benefits from the very beginning. You're not as innocent as you seem. You're just a woman who will do anything for cultivation. I really misjudged you." Mu Yijie's hands were tightly clenched, and his eyes were blood - red.
Yong Shanling was completely confused by his shouting. She didn't know why Uncle Jie was even more angry after she had obediently answered his questions. She clearly liked Uncle Jie and that's why she was with him. Cultivation was just a bonus. How could she be a woman who would do anything?
"Mu Yijie, don't go too far. How can you say that about me? Isn't it just that I've gained a little merit from being with you? Do you have to be so petty?" Yong Shanling's eyes were red. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth and wanted to rush up and bite this stinky man.
"Gaining a little merit from me. Haven't you heard that taking without asking is stealing?" Mu Yijie said without thinking, his voice extremely cold.
Hearing herself being slandered as a thief, Yong Shanling couldn't bear it anymore. Who was she? Didn't Uncle Jie know?
She could tolerate other words, but she couldn't tolerate the slander of her dignity.
"So what if I stole? I was with you just for your merits. Otherwise, why would I be with a man more than a decade older than me? Do you think I'm really stupid?"
Yong Shanling said with tears streaming down her face, gritting her teeth angrily. She had completely lost her mind and didn't think about logic or facts.
Anyway, she just wanted to vent her anger and hurt the person in front of her.
Hearing Yong Shanling's direct admission, Mu Yijie was completely enraged. He suddenly grabbed Yong Shanling's arm and with a few quick steps, he threw her onto the bed.
"You liar! Cunning! Lying woman!" Mu Yijie growled, tearing at the clothes on her body. He was like a wild beast, wantonly destroying everything in front of him.
Yong Shanling was terrified. She just sat there stupidly on the bed. She completely forgot that she was a cultivator. She felt as if she had lost all her strength and couldn't move at all.
She could only let the man she loved the most hurt her wantonly.
Mu Yijie was like a wild beast, biting fiercely on her delicate skin. He had completely lost his usual calm and elegant demeanor.
"Let me go, ~ Mu Yijie, you bastard!" Yong Shanling cried and pushed hard at the strong figure in front of her.
However, a girl who had never exercised and only relied on spiritual power and spells was just an ordinary girl without them. How could her strength be a match for an adult man?
"Want me to let you go? Impossible!" Mu Yijie said firmly in the gap, completely losing his usual calm and abstinent appearance.
Yong Shanling felt Mu Yijie getting closer and closer to her lower body. She was getting more and more scared.
Before, although they had been intimate with each other and done some close - range things. However, they had never gone all the way.
She raised her hand to cast a spell, but it was tightly grasped by a pair of big hands like iron claws. She couldn't find any chance to cast the spell. She tried to circulate her spiritual power but found that Mu Yijie had sealed all her spiritual power without her knowing. She shouted, "How do you know how to seal spiritual power?"
"If you're determined, you'll always learn." Mu Yijie thought of himself before. In order to be worthy of her, he had studied the knowledge of the cultivation world day and night and practiced hard. He had never worked so hard in his life.
However, for someone who had always had everything go smoothly, this time he had suffered a complete loss.
How could he be willing?
Yong Shanling was completely desperate. She didn't expect him to know so much. She completely gave up struggling. Lying there with tears streaming down her face, she let Mu Yijie do whatever he wanted.
Yong Shanling closed her eyes desperately, as if she had lost her soul. She didn't want to see this crazy Uncle Jie, nor did she want to witness the first time of their most intimate moment happening in such a situation.
