Tu Shan Shushu didn't know why she was angry, but seeing Ji Mo interacting with other women made her feel upset, with an unnamable fire burning in her heart.
Her originally fair and jade-like face flushed with the green of jealousy, and her entire being, like an elegant little fox, suddenly bared its sharp teeth.
Her pouting lips could hold an oil pot, and her eyes overflowed with a sense of grievance. She pointed at Ji Mo and cursed, "You scumbag, you kissed me forcefully, and now you're hooking up with other women. Go die."
With that, she stomped her foot fiercely, concealed her figure, and left in a huff.
It turned out that after Tu Shan Shushu learned what had happened, she was worried about Ji Mo's safety. Upon successfully breaking through her cultivation, she had rushed over immediately to check on the situation.
She could disregard the lives of others from the Void Sword Sect, but she didn't want Ji Mo to be harmed. She thought about secretly intervening and rescuing Ji Mo from the Qingqiu Demon Gate.
For the man who had taken her first kiss, Tu Shan Shushu had a complex emotion subtly growing in her heart.
Little did she know, she had stumbled upon this scene the moment she arrived.
Jealousy makes a woman unrecognizable.
Tu Shan Shushu firmly believed Ji Mo was a scumbag and no longer cared about his fate, letting him fend for himself.
"Am I seeing things? Isn't that Tu Shan family's patriarch, Tu Shan Shushu? What did she mean by what she just said, that the Ancestral Master kissed her?"
Sima Hongfeng's jaw nearly dropped to the ground.
"Hey, what do you mean by hooking up with other women? I didn't do anything. It's this woman who saw my handsome face and got greedy for my body."
Ji Mo felt more wronged than Dou E. He, who was so self-disciplined, was ultimately slandered.
Meanwhile, Chi Qingying took the opportunity to successfully snatch Ji Mo's belt. Her face flushed red, and she spat defiantly, "Shameless! Who's greedy for your body? I'm just greedy for this section of the Netherworld Undying Vine, and this is my compensation."
She tightly hugged the Netherworld Undying Vine, her face displaying the look of a little money-grubber, utterly delighted.
"Chi Qingying!"
Upon seeing Chi Qingying's face clearly, Sima Hongfeng's eyes nearly popped out.
What was going on?
Did the Ancestral Master forcefully kiss Tu Shan Shushu not long ago, and now he was planning to conquer Chi Qingying?
What kind of operation was this, it was too wild!
However, having too many women was also troublesome, wasn't it? He was caught red-handed.
To help Ji Mo ease his embarrassment, Sima Hongfeng respectfully bowed to Chi Qingying and forcefully defended Ji Mo, saying, "Grand Ancestor's Wife, men, they all make mistakes sometimes. How can a wild flower compare to a home flower? The Ancestral Master still cares about you the most."
"Shut up!"
"Shut up."
Chi Qingying and Ji Mo said it almost in unison, telling Sima Hongfeng to shut his mouth and get lost.
One was indignant at being called "Grand Ancestor's Wife," while the other couldn't stand Sima Hongfeng, that old fool, tarnishing his reputation and spreading nonsense.
Sima Hongfeng left pitifully, feeling the grievance of his good intentions being misunderstood.
Er Lengzi, with his keen observation, immediately dismantled his own door and diligently went to replace it for Ji Mo.
"No wonder the Ancestral Master likes Er Lengzi so much. When it comes to flattery, I'm no match for him."
Sima Hongfeng slapped his thighs in annoyance.
The atmosphere in Ji Mo's room was no longer so tense.
Looking at his snatched belt, Ji Mo was helpless, not understanding why such a mere vine would be treasured so much.
He threatened, "If you don't return my belt, then Sky City will have no place for you from now on."
Feeling that she had gotten a great deal, Chi Qingying smiled and said, "Who wants your damn Sky City? I only want this Netherworld Undying Vine."
Ji Mo kindly reminded her, "You're losing the watermelon to pick up the sesame seeds. Don't come crying to me to regret it later."
"I'm afraid you're the one who will regret it. Let's pinky promise that you won't take back this section of the Netherworld Undying Vine for any reason in the future."
To prevent Ji Mo from having a chance to go back on his word, Chi Qingying forced Ji Mo to pinky promise and make a pact not to go back on it.
Chi Qingying, who thought she had made a killing, smiled brilliantly. Even looking at Ji Mo became more pleasing, and she praised him, "Young man, you're quite something. I have high hopes for you. You actually thought of the strategy of 'eating soft rice hard.' As long as you can win over Tu Shan Shushu, this little rich woman, you'll never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life. You don't know, the wealth possessed by the Qingqiu Tu Shan clan is unimaginable. It's said that Tu Shan Shushu sleeps on mountains of immortal crystals every day; she's incredibly rich."
Ji Mo's forehead was covered in black lines. When had he ever wanted to eat soft rice hard? He explained that it was all a misunderstanding.
Seeing that her guess was wrong, Chi Qingying probed again, "You're not here to eat soft rice? Could it be that you're here to settle the score with the Ju Mang tribe? The reason why the Great Immortal Kongxu was ambushed and killed back then was very likely because the Ju Mang tribe leaked his whereabouts."
Over the years, Chi Qingying had also secretly investigated the cause of Great Immortal Kongxu's death and uncovered quite a bit of inside information.
"What did you say?"
Ji Mo's gaze suddenly turned sharp.
Chi Qingying did not hide anything and detailed some of the information she had uncovered. Various signs indicated that Great Immortal Kongxu's death was indeed inextricably linked to the Ju Mang tribe.
Ji Mo's face showed killing intent. He decided to uncover the truth. If it were true, he would surely avenge his good brother, Kongxu.
He also took the opportunity to ask Chi Qingying about Great Immortal Kongxu's life and deeds, desperately wanting to understand what mission Great Immortal Kongxu, who had traveled across worlds, was carrying.
Chi Qingying actually knew the inside story, and her expression suddenly became solemn. She said sadly, "The year has come, the pigs in the pens are fat, and the leeks in the fields are grown. What will you do?"
Ji Mo smacked his lips, "Make dumplings, eat pork dishes?"
Chi Qingying was instantly angered and raised her little fist, wanting to beat the foolish Ji to death.
However, upon further thought, it seemed there was nothing wrong with that. She directly explained, "The alternation of eras, the rise and fall of civilizations. Perhaps in the eyes of certain supreme beings, all the worlds are like pigpens. When the pigs are fat enough, it will naturally be time for the harvest."
"Heaven and Earth are not benevolent, treating all things as straw dogs? Was Great Immortal Kongxu trying to defy heaven and fight for his life?" Ji Mo exclaimed.
Chi Qingying gently shook her head, "Heaven and Earth are indeed impartial. It is the human heart that is not benevolent. Some people lie high in the nine heavens, looking down on all beings, treating all living creatures as food. Once the time is right, darkness will shroud all worlds, and neither you nor I can escape the tragic fate of being harvested."
Ji Mo's heart was stirred by a storm. He never imagined the truth to be so cruel.
No wonder historical records stated that many prehistoric civilizations, like fleeting blossoms, had mysteriously disappeared. It turned out they were harvested by others.
Then Great Immortal Kongxu's true purpose was to prevent such a tragedy and carve out a path for the current era!
Great Immortal Kongxu had failed.
Now, it was his turn to shoulder this heavy mission!
Foolish Ji suddenly felt the burden on his shoulders to be immense, and the pressure was overwhelming.
"When darkness arrives, all worlds will mourn. Great Immortal Kongxu, with his lofty ambitions, ultimately met a tragic end. All struggles are in vain; no one can break free from this damned fate."
Chi Qingying sighed, taking a more philosophical view. After all, any life was destined to perish from the beginning; it was best to accept fate obediently.
"If darkness comes, and there is no more torchlight, I shall be the only light."
Ji Mo's face was filled with determination, his spine straightened. Lu Xun's words echoed in his mind, his tone incredibly impassioned.
The Yanhuang bloodline, born to stand tall, fearless of any strong enemy. No matter who the enemy was, just fight!
Chi Qingying stared at Ji Mo with wide eyes, her heart burning with passion. At that moment, Ji Mo's figure seemed so tall and majestic.
