Chapter 30: Quarrel

  The person she had been thinking about was in her own arms, but he was seriously injured and had been hurt by someone to this extent. Mo Jiu You could only tightly hug the little girl in her arms and do her best to cure him.

  While waiting on the side, Chong Yao was also worriedly looking at the unconscious person, who had saved his life time and again. However, with a shift in gaze, he found himself staring at the man who had suddenly appeared, the anxiety and heartache in his eyes were genuine, but in his heart, a thread of discontent still arose.

  "She's been searching for you for a long time, encountered many dangers, yet persisted. Why didn't you appear earlier?" Although she knew she had no right to say such words, her heart still felt indignant.

  Not a single glance was spared for Chong Yao, the man simply maintained the same posture and kissed the forehead of Qing Kuang. After all, he was just an insignificant human being, what qualifications did he have to lecture him? In this world, only his beloved Xiao Tou could scold him severely, no one else dared to do so.

  "Hmm..." She let out a low murmur and slowly opened her eyes. When she saw the familiar face in front of her, she realized that everything before wasn't just a dream.

  "Ah-yu, awake?" He gazed at the frail person with caution, Mo Jiu You repeatedly blaming himself.

  Dazed eyes gradually cleared, yet when the moment really arrived, nothing could be said. Disappointment, blame, resentment, grievance, surprise, all sorts of emotions surged to the top of my head, making me hang my head in shame again.

  Mo Jiu's eyes narrowed slightly as he raised his weak chin, his voice barely above a whisper. "What's wrong? Is there anywhere else that hurts?"

  As the silence spread, the man's heart became increasingly uneasy. Was it because he came back late, or was it because he didn't protect her well, or perhaps something had happened during this long time that he didn't know about? And then there was this human in front of him, earlier Xiao Yu had pushed herself away for the sake of this human, with such a tense and fearful expression of disappearing, making him increasingly panicked. Could it be that someone had taken advantage of the situation?! As soon as the thought flashed through his mind, Mo Jue's eyes were filled with murderous intent, fiercely pressing towards Chong Yao beside him.

  "What are you doing!" A big hand grasped the man's large hand, looking at him with a mixture of anger and disapproval, a hint of madness flashing in those red eyes.

  "Are you protecting him?" The disbelieving inquiry was voiced, Mo Jiu's eyes fixed intently on Qing Kuang.

  "He saved my life!" His hands fell weakly to his sides as he struggled to get up.

  "Is it because he saved your life that he has a place in your heart?" The man's large hand tightly grasped the wrist of the young man, his menacing aura overwhelming.

  Seeing that things were not going well, especially the painful little face, Chong Yao stared at the overbearing pressure and persuaded, "You hurt her..."

  The words had barely fallen when the red figure was directly thrown out, rolling along the ground for several laps, looking like it was about to lose its breath. Originally, it was out of concern for friends that he spoke up to advise, but in Mo Jiu's eyes, it turned into a scene of "ulterior motives". The white flag that had been guarding beside walked over, vigilantly staring at Mo Jiu, but not daring to make any sudden moves.

  "Are you crazy?" He furiously swung his arm, looking worriedly at the not-so-distant Chong Yao. How could someone who had just narrowly escaped death withstand the Magic King's next heavy blow?

  The fire in his heart kept rising, and Mo Jiu You's eyes also changed color. He had been worried for so long and rushed over hastily, but unexpectedly received a cold face instead, as well as silence towards him. Moreover, the most important thing was the unusual concern for a strange man, how could a proud person like him bear it?

  "I'm not crazy! I'm just a completely unrelated human being!"

  "I told you he isn't! He's the one who saved my life, he's my friend. Just now it was him who blocked that fatal blow for me, otherwise you wouldn't be seeing me right now!"

  "Hah! Hero rescues the beauty, so you'd be so careless with me, even letting go of my hand and throwing yourself into his arms?" As soon as the words left her mouth, Mo Jiu You regretted it.

  Hearing this, she was even more furious, her anger burning like a raging fire. She struggled to break free from the man's arms, kicking and punching. "Mojieyou... you bastard, let me go, let me go..."

  When two strong-willed people clash and a third party intervenes, each side sticks to their own words, and the conflict only intensifies.

  He pressed his lips to Zhu's, and Mo Jiu held the frail figure tightly in his arms. He didn't want to hear or know anything now, as long as this person was still in his embrace, he could let go of everything else.

  He patted the man's shoulder again and again, his nose filled with the man's breath, and tears flowed down uncontrollably. Only a mournful cry came out. "Mo Jiu You... I hate you... I resent you..."

  His body shook violently, and the man tightened his grip even more, not intending to let go even though his mouth was already filled with the taste of blood. How could his regained treasure possibly hate him? No! It couldn't hate him!

  "I... hate you..." A dizziness flashed before his eyes, and the weak resistance that had already been abandoned was only expressed by a faint whisper of unwillingness in his heart.

  "Enough!" he bellowed, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at the person in his arms, a tear-stained face that made his heart ache unbearably. "Girl, don't say you hate me... I'm late, I'm sorry, seeing you hurt makes me want to rip those humans limb from limb, but please don't say things like that to pierce my heart, I don't want to hear it..."

  Feeling the big hand gently wiping her face, she also couldn't express the aftertaste in her heart. She didn't expect that the long-awaited reunion would become like this. Was she wrong to save people before? This person misunderstood her and didn't believe her. The pain she suffered, the grievances in her heart, who could she tell?

  Waved goodbye to the hands on his arm, and slowly walked towards Chong Yao. Maybe it's better to calm down for now.

  "If you dare go over there, I'll kill him right now!" The words were full of threat, and the man was the type to follow through on his words.

  The anger in his heart surged up, but he suppressed it again and again. He looked up at the man with a difficult expression and said, "I'm very tired, I don't want to argue with you now..."

  Watching her slender hand still having to leave his embrace, suddenly Mo Jue's eyes changed with a hint of infinite killing intent.

  "Don't push me!"

  "I just want to go see him, let me go first......" With the remaining strength, Qing Kuang lowered his head again.

  "Damn it!" Anger surged, looking at several contract beasts in front of him, Mo Jiu You flashed and took the person to the void, possessively capturing the swollen lips, his big hands also unscrupulously tore at the light and wild clothes.

  "Mo Jiu You, I'm tired......" Closing her eyes, she silently endured it. This person had always been like this when dealing with things, anyway, she was used to it.

  "I rushed here from afar, worried sick that you'd get hurt. And this is how you repay me?" Irritated, Mo Jue tore at the disheveled clothes, his teeth sinking viciously into Qing Kuang's collarbone.

  With a fierce and crazy look, her pale face turned even more haggard. "And what about you! Didn't we agree from the start that if I were to transform again, I would destroy my spiritual foundation and become an ordinary person? Why did you leave me behind? Why didn't you keep your promise? I don't need a solution, just stay by my side, but you still left me. I waited for you on the left and right, but there was no news from you every day. I had no idea where you went, and I worried that you might be in danger. Do you understand my anxiety and worry? We clearly agreed before, why didn't you keep your promise?" Tears streaming down her face, her mournful questioning left Mo Jue speechless.

  "I..." He paused, hastily wiping away the tears on her small face, the chill making his heart feel unwell.

  "Come on, just do it, every time you get angry, isn't this how you solve things?" The furious one tore open his clothes, but was actually shaking all over with rage.

  "Yaotou... don't be like this..." Mo Jiu Yu anxiously hugged the person into his arms, he didn't have any other thoughts right now. "Sorry, sorry, Yaotou I'm sorry..."

  "What are you... what are you..." With each questioning voice, Qingkuang cried out loud and hiccuped, finally releasing the emotions that had been suppressed for too long. However, in her anger, she forgot that such unreserved outbursts were only made in front of those closest to her.

  "Sorry, Ah-ya, it's my fault, I was wrong..." Mo Jiu's gentle and loving kiss landed on the forehead of the small figure in his arms, who was still pouting.

  "Hmph... You told me to be obedient, and I was. You said you'd marry me, and I waited obediently for that day. But you never came... I left with a heart full of worry, constantly inquiring about your news. The Lingzhu is out of control, but I endured! Those people regarded me as an enemy, and I endured! However, day after day, I had no hope at all. They said I was a demonic woman, a malevolent star... Countless people came to besiege me, and some even died because of me. I owe so many lives, so much emotional debt... How can I repay it? How can I repay it?"

  "I'm back, I'm back, don't cry, good girl, don't cry..." Looking at the person who had obviously lost a lot of weight, the man was worried, how could he get him to gain back all that lost flesh?!

  "Hmph... they said they'd help me get rid of the demon, but you're not here, you're not by my side, what am I supposed to do? I don't trust those people. If I didn't have any self-defense skills at all, how would I find you? So I didn't dare. But they won't let us go, we've been dodging their pursuit time and time again, Chong Yao almost died because of me... You still wronged me, don't believe me, you bastard... Get out, I hate you..." Along with the forceful push, her clothes were already on the verge of falling off, and now they completely fell down.

  "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong, sorry, don't cry... Sigh, this is the only little girl in the whole world! He was also furious earlier, the little girl only believed him, and it shouldn't have taken so long back then."

  "Go away!" She pushed the man's arm and wiped her face wildly.

  "Alright, alright, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have left in the first place. Let me make it up to you, don't cry...". After calming down and thinking clearly, Mo Jiu realized why this person was so angry. It was because of his previous unfaithfulness, Little Yu had willingly become an ordinary person for him, even sacrificing her spiritual foundation just to stay by his side. How could someone who was so devoted not be pitied? However, putting himself in others' shoes, how could he bear to see the once proud person become a useless shell of their former self, like an eagle with broken wings that can no longer soar in the sky? So he risked everything to find a solution, but his departure had caused Little Yu so much suffering. Whether it was all worth it or not, only time would tell.

  "Mo Jiu You... I've held on for so long, I'm really tired... If you're not back today, is what you'll see my corpse?..." Having made enough noise and cursed enough, he closed his eyes in exhaustion, motionless, nestled in Mo Jiu You's arms.

  "Don't you dare talk nonsense! My daughter won't die, even if you're dead, I can go to the underworld and bring you back!" As soon as he heard this, the man's heart tightened, followed by a wave of fear. If he had come any later, he feared it would have been...

  "Moyu, hold me..." A pale face, fragile like a porcelain doll, such a simple request, how could Moyu refuse? He wrapped his arms around the small person and pulled them into his embrace, as if he wanted to merge them into his very being.

  Leaning into the man's arms, she curled herself up into a small ball, occasionally rubbing her nose against him and smiling with the corners of her mouth. Suddenly, the frail figure lifted his head and asked uncertainly, "Do... you still want me?"

  Looking at those red eyes, and the "yao" character on her forehead, Mo Jiu Yu didn't understand what was being asked for a while. Suddenly, he couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart, rubbing her head with his big hand, and biting his red lips in distress. "What are you thinking? Just now I was just too angry to speak to you like that, besides, can your body take it now? Silly girl..."

  Cleverly letting the man bite, yet gently wrapping her arms tightly around his neck, she snuggled up like a kitten, "I miss you so much... are you still mad at me?"

  Feeling the gentle caress, Mo Jiu You's restless heart finally relaxed, but as soon as the large hand slowly moved down and stroked the injured abdomen, a storm erupted on his face. Those damn humans! The people he usually held in his mouth for fear of melting, cradled in his hands for fear of dropping, were actually killed like this! He shouldn't have let them die so easily just now.

  "Does it still hurt?"

  "Ow......" He closed his tired eyes and muttered softly to himself. "......so tired......"

  "Just sleep, I'll keep watch!" His arm gently swayed back and forth as Mo Jiu Yu once again took out a set of clothes from the Light Crazy Space Ring to put on her, and the magic in his hand carefully helped treat her injuries.

  Clutching the treasure in his arms, Mo Jiu You had witnessed everything that had happened during this period of time. Looking at him leaving, someone broke into the Heart Wishing Spirit Source and startled Xiao Tuan. The crying face of his family's servant girl, her mad words, every detail presented itself before his eyes. It made him want to kill himself, it was all his fault, making Xiao Tuan sad. The little servant girl in the painting had come out because she was worried about him, and then took risks because she heard the word "kill the demon"; there was also the disappointment of exhausting himself to save the wrong person after absorbing the demonic energy that fed on blood; later, he was injured by some broken relic, poisoned by a sinister human woman, and followed by revenge. Every time he looked at something, it made him feel more guilty. There were countless people attacking him, suffering heavy injuries, and escaping in disarray. However, despite being so slender, the little servant girl had persisted. And when he saw the person who saved his family's servant girl, he couldn't describe what he felt in his heart. Perhaps there was a hint of gratitude? With Xiao Tuan's loyal and righteous personality, it was no wonder that she had been maintained with great care before. Of course, he was also extremely grateful that he hadn't lost all reason earlier and killed that human being. Otherwise, when Xiao Tuan woke up later, who knows how she would have blamed him?

  Looking at the little one sleeping in her arms, with deep eye sockets and a smile that has lost several circles, she knew she had to find someone! How could she not take care of herself, intentionally making him worried! Alas...

  Until the ferocious wound on his lower abdomen completely disappeared and returned to its original state, Mo Jiu You finally put down her guard, staring intently at the person in her arms without daring to look away for a moment. Looking at those slightly parted red lips, the man seemed to be enchanted as he lowered his head, took them into his mouth, and gently caressed them with his tongue.

  "Girl..."

  Uncomfortable frowning, yet feeling the familiar breath, lightly crazy but not waking up, just letting go of the man's movements in a half-asleep state.

  However, just as Mo Jiu was indulging in his own thoughts, the person in his arms suddenly let out a pained cry, startling him greatly.

  "Silly girl!"

  "Hmm..." Suddenly opened her eyes, lightly furrowed her brows in pain. The magical runes on her forehead shone brightly, the black air that had been slowly dissipating earlier re-condensed, and several gashes appeared on her already thin arms at the same time, with fresh blood being devoured by the black air, all thanks to Mo Jiu's magic from earlier.

  "Damn it!" cursed Mo Jiu inwardly, his heart also filled with anxiety. He hadn't expected that just drinking his demonic blood would cause such a transformation, and the demonic energy was even connected to the Dark Spirit Pearl. This time, he had to resolve the situation as soon as possible. Seeing Xiao Liu suffer, he wished he could take her place.

  He held the person tightly, and Mo Jiu You came out of thin air. Chong Yao, who had been knocked unconscious by him earlier, also shook his head and woke up. However, when he saw the two people with their clothes in disarray, he could only smile bitterly. But before he could even open his mouth, his attention was drawn to the painful cry. "What's wrong with her? Is she having another episode? Put her down, I'll help..."

  "Scram!" Even if this person had saved his family's servant girl, what did it matter? He just didn't like him, blocking the gaze of the demon-worshipping crowd, Mo Jiu You helped him put on his clothes, and only then carefully picked him up and disappeared in an instant.

  Digression

  Originally wanted to bully them a bit, let them be cold for ten chapters, eight chapters, but Zhu Zi was worried that they would be made into bamboo shoots stir-fried with meat, thinking about it, forget it...
