Chapter 806 - 896 Guardians
Two days later.
The first light of dawn appeared.
In Nangong Yue’s room, Chen Mo slowly opened his eyes, feeling a slight numbness in both arms.
He looked down, seeing his chest covered by a mass of black hair, and then looked around. Nangong Xue and Nangong Yue were each resting on one of his arms, half of their bodies draped over him, their brows showing traces of fatigue and pain.
Two identical, stunningly beautiful faces reminded Chen Mo of what had happened over the past two days.
Since that night, the three of them hadn’t left the room, engaged in dual cultivation throughout.
Chen Mo sat up and looked around.
The room was in disarray; the tea set originally on the table was overturned on the floor, the long table was tilted, and clothes were scattered everywhere.
Only then did Chen Mo remember.
Their cultivation had not been confined solely to the bed...
Nangong Xue was a light sleeper; as Chen Mo sat up, she awakened.
Upon waking early, she instinctively propped herself up with her hands, her long black hair cascading down. Her eyes looked slightly dazed as the events of the past two days surged into her mind. As she was embraced, she let out a startled cry, but seeing it was Chen Mo, her face blushed, and she stopped struggling, instead pulling the quilt over her body for modesty.
Nangong Xue felt extremely embarrassed about the events of the past two days.
"Why, feeling shy?" Chen Mo stroked Nangong Xue’s silky hair, enjoying the sensation as it slipped through his fingers, carrying a faint fragrance.
He lifted a strand to his nose and gently sniffed.
Nangong Xue, naturally aloof and proud, was not entirely accustomed to Chen Mo’s behavior, but accepting the facts, she didn’t shy away or refuse, only appearing embarrassed and nervous.
"From now on, I’ll call you Xue’Er. Calling you Nangong Xue seems a bit inappropriate now." Chen Mo turned Nangong Xue around to face him.
"...Alright." Nangong Xue replied with hesitation.
Seeing the normally composed Nangong Xue now so shy and bashful, Chen Mo smirked playfully, cupped her fair chin, and after savoring her sweet lips, said, "Xue’Er, let’s hear you call me husband."
"Ah...This...is too soon, we haven’t even gotten married." Although the reality had happened, for Nangong Xue, calling someone husband required marriage and vows.
"You’ll have to call me sooner or later, just say it now for my ears." With their foreheads touching, Chen Mo kissed her red lips, then said, "Or do you not consider me your husband?"
"No, no."
Nangong Xue was startled at his words, quickly clarifying it wasn’t the case. Her sister had gone to such lengths for her to become his woman; denying it would render all their efforts pointless.
Blushing deeply, Nangong Xue took a deep breath and called Chen Mo her husband.
Just then, Nangong Yue woke up, and hearing her sister call Chen Mo brother husband, she was wide-eyed with surprise.
Is this still the sister she knew?
She actually called Chen Mo brother husband just like that...
"Sister, you..."
"Little Yue, ah...ah..."
Nangong Xue shyly 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 Nangong Yue did, she finally brought her head out from the quilt.
Since they were all awake.
In the early morning, how could they not do morning exercises to strengthen their bodies?
After finishing their morning exercise, Nangong Xue suddenly, breathless, said, "I...I think I’m about to break through."
Nangong Yue’s cultivation was already at the perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and after two days of dual cultivation with Chen Mo’s Phoenix Qi, she was on the verge of a breakthrough.
After all, her natural aptitude wasn’t low, being of the Orange Body.
Chen Mo became solemn and said, "Seize the opportunity and break through quickly."
Since Nangong Xue was about to break through, Chen Mo refrained from further disturbance.
Getting dressed, he left the room. Today was also the day new disciples officially joined the Daoist Alliance.
Upon stepping outside, he immediately saw Xiao Jiu glaring at him with a resentful look.
Seeing Nangong Yue behind him, she gave a harsh glare, filled with hatred.
"Did you talk to the master alone just for this?"
Xiao Jiu glared with vehemence. If Chen Mo wasn’t present, she believed she’d have slapped Nangong Yue a few times.
After all, her plan had been ruined by her.
Nangong Yue, seeing this expression on Xiao Jiu for the first time, was a bit frightened.
Chen Mo felt a bit awkward, but to ease the tension between them, shamelessly began transmitting to Xiao Jiu.
He transmitted roughly that Xiao Yue encouraged him to accept her sooner.
In this regard, Xiao Jiu was quite easily persuaded, saying, "Really?"
"Of course it is. Why would I lie to you? Besides, I’ve also decided."
"Decided what?"
"To have you sooner." Chen Mo leaned in and kissed Xiao Jiu.
Upon hearing, Xiao Jiu beamed brightly, her attitude towards Nangong Yue transformed, and she even thanked her.
Nangong Yue was taken aback, but under Chen Mo’s suggesting glance, she returned it with a smile.
Then, Xiao Jiu hugged Chen Mo’s arm and asked, "So master, when will you have me?"
After saying this, her face turned rosy.
Chen Mo: "..."
...
After resolving that little episode, Chen Mo found Zhao Qianyi and Jiang Ruoqing, said a few words to them, and then, along with Xiao Jiu and Zuoqiu Yiren, entered the Daoist Alliance.
The reason today marked the new disciples’ official entry into the Daoist Alliance.
Is because classes in the Daoist Alliance began today; before that, due to the assessment in the Daoist Alliance, there was a break.
Today, someone in the Daoist Alliance would arrange for the new disciples’ cultivation matters.
As a core disciple, such matters didn’t concern Chen Mo much, as he had dedicated teachers.
To instruct Chen Mo, Zuoqiu Yiren returned to the Daoist Alliance, becoming a permanent elder, and for Chen Mo’s safety, the Daoist Alliance planned to assign a guardian to him.
The so-called guardian is essentially a personal guard, ensuring your safety until you fully mature, never leaving your side whether you are eating or sleeping.
And as a guardian, one must be powerful, known and trusted, to prevent being bribed and betraying at crucial moments.
Ultimately, after much consideration, the Daoist Alliance determined that the best candidate for Chen Mo’s guardian was still Zuoqiu Yiren.
This way, cultivation and protection would proceed without interruption.
Chen Mo had no objections to the Daoist Alliance’s decision.
Zuoqiu Yiren also understood Chen Mo’s growing reputation and the fact that the Qingqiu Spirit Fox Tribe and the Dragon Race were eyeing him, so she wouldn’t trust anyone else to be his guardian.
