Chapter 805 - 896 Guardian
Two days later.
The first light of dawn appeared.
In Nangong Yue’s room, Chen Mo gently opened his eyes, then felt a slight numbness in both of his arms.
Looking down, his chest was covered with a mass of black hair. Then, glancing to his left and right, he found Nangong Xue and Nangong Yue each resting their heads on one of his arms, with half of their bodies draped over him, weariness and pain faintly showing between their brows.
The two stunning and identical faces reminded Chen Mo of the past couple of days’ events.
Since that night, the three hadn’t left the room for the past two days, continuously engaging in dual cultivation.
Chen Mo sat up and looked around.
The room was in disarray; the tea set originally on the table was knocked over onto the floor, the long table was also overturned, with bras and panties strewn everywhere.
It was then that Chen Mo remembered.
Their cultivation space wasn’t entirely confined to the bed...
Nangong Xue was a light sleeper; with Chen Mo sitting up, she was startled awake.
Instinctively in the morning, she propped herself up with one hand, her ink-black hair draping down. Her gaze was somewhat bewildered as the past couple of days’ events rushed into her mind. As she was pulled into an embrace, she initially let out a scream, but upon realizing it was Chen Mo, her face flushed slightly, and she stopped struggling, instead pulling the quilt up to cover her body.
Nangong Xue felt indescribable embarrassment over what she had experienced in the past two days.
"What, still shy?" Chen Mo stroked Nangong Xue’s hair, enjoying the sensation of her smooth locks slipping through his fingers, with a faint fragrance lingering.
Chen Mo lifting a strand, brought it to his nose, inhaling gently.
For Chen Mo’s actions, the naturally proud and aloof Nangong Xue felt a bit unaccustomed, yet she accepted the reality, thus didn’t dodge or refuse, only feeling shy and nervous.
"From now on, I’ll call you Xue’Er. It’s a bit inappropriate to keep calling you Miss Nangong Xue." Chen Mo turned Nangong Xue around to face him.
"...Mm." Nangong Xue still seemed very reserved.
For someone usually calm and indifferent like Nangong Xue, now appearing reserved and bashful, Chen Mo’s lips curled into a playful smile. He then lifted Nangong Xue’s fair, pointed chin and tasted her sweet lips before saying, "Xue’Er, call me husband to hear."
"Ah... this... It’s too soon, we haven’t even married yet..." Although the fact had already happened, for Nangong Xue, calling him husband, at least required them to be married and to pay homage to Heaven and Earth.
"You’ll have to call me sooner or later. Call me husband for me to hear now." With their foreheads touching, Chen Mo kissed her red lips again and again, then said, "Or do you not think of me as your husband?"
"No, no..."
Hearing this, Nangong Xue was startled and quickly expressed that wasn’t the case. It had taken a lot of effort for her to become his woman, so if she said it wasn’t, wouldn’t all her efforts be in vain?
Nangong Xue’s face flushed red, and after taking a deep breath, she called Chen Mo husband.
Just then, Nangong Yue happened to wake up and, hearing her sister call Chen Mo husband, her eyes widened in surprise.
Is this still the sister I know?
She actually directly called Chen Mo husband...
"Sister, you..."
"Xiao Yue, ah... ah..."
Filled with embarrassment, Nangong Xue buried her head in the quilt.
To prevent Nangong Yue from teasing Nangong Xue later, Chen Mo also made Nangong Yue call him husband once.
After Nangong Yue finished calling, she finally poked her head out of the quilt.
Since they were awake.
Early in the morning, how could they not do some morning exercise?
After morning practice, Nangong Xue suddenly gasped, "I... I think I’m about to break through."
Nangong Yue’s cultivation was already at the Foundation Establishment Realm’s perfection, and after dual cultivating with Chen Mo’s Phoenix Qi for two days, she was on the verge of breaking through.
After all, her root and bone were not low; she had an Orange Body.
Chen Mo’s expression became serious, saying, "Seize the opportunity to break through quickly."
Since Nangong Xue was about to break through, Chen Mo knew it was inappropriate to continue disturbing her.
After getting dressed, he left the room. Today was also the day new disciples officially joined the Daoist Alliance.
Just as he stepped out of the room, he saw Xiao Jiu staring at him with a face full of resentment.
When she saw Nangong Yue behind him, she gave her a fierce glare, filled with hatred.
"Did you talk to Master alone just for this?"
Xiao Jiu’s eyes were wide with anger. If Chen Mo wasn’t there, she believed she’d certainly have slapped Nangong Yue a few times.
After all, her good thing had been ruined by her.
It was the first time Nangong Yue had seen such an expression from Xiao Jiu, and she was slightly frightened.
Chen Mo looked a bit awkward, but to ease the conflict between the two, he could only shamelessly transmit to Xiao Jiu.
The general content of the transmission was that Xiao Yue persuaded me to take you earlier.
In this regard, Xiao Jiu was easy to coax, saying, "Really?"
"Of course it’s true, why would I lie to you? Besides, I’ve also decided."
"Decided what?"
"To devour you sooner." Chen Mo proactively kissed Xiao Jiu.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiu smiled brilliantly, and her attitude towards Nangong Yue changed. She even said to Nangong Yue, "Thank you."
Nangong Yue was stunned, but at Chen Mo’s eye gesture, she returned the smile.
Then, Xiao Jiu hugged Chen Mo’s arm, saying, "Then, Master, when will you devour me?"
Saying so, Xiao Jiu’s face blushed rosy red.
...
After that, Chen Mo found Zhao Qianyi and Jiang Ruoqing, and after saying a few words, he left with Xiao Jiu following Zuoqiu Yiren into the Daoist Alliance.
The reason today was the day new disciples officially entered the Daoist Alliance.
Was because the Daoist Alliance started classes today. Due to the assessment of the Daoist Alliance in the past few days, everyone was on holiday.
Today, the Daoist Alliance would have designated personnel to arrange cultivation matters for new disciples.
As a core disciple, these matters had little to do with Chen Mo, as he had specially assigned teachers.
To instruct Chen Mo, Zuoqiu Yiren returned to the Daoist Alliance and became a permanent Elder of the Daoist Alliance. For Chen Mo’s safety, the Daoist Alliance also planned to assign a Guardian to Chen Mo.
The so-called Guardian, simply put, is a personal guard who protects your safety until you grow, never leaving your side, whether you are eating or sleeping.
As a Guardian, one must be highly skilled, trustworthy, and reliable, so as not to be bribed and betray at critical moments.
In the end, after careful consideration, the Daoist Alliance found that the most suitable person to be Chen Mo’s Guardian was still Zuoqiu Yiren.
This way, cultivation, and protection would not be hampered.
Regarding the decision of the Daoist Alliance, Chen Mo had not a trace of dissatisfaction.
Zuoqiu Yiren also knew that currently Chen Mo’s reputation was too great, with the Qingqiu Spirit Fox Race and Dragon Race eyeing him covetously; she wasn’t at ease letting others be Chen Mo’s Guardian.
