Chapter 85 Ah Yin's Repayment, Bibi Dong's Longing
Su Mo lay in the bathtub, unaware of how long he had been soaking.
However, he remained conscious throughout and even diverted a wisp of his spiritual energy to keep a close watch on Ah Yin in the hall, in case anything unexpected happened.
Only after he sensed that Ah Yin had completely absorbed the Narcissus Jade Skin and Bones did he slowly open his eyes and get up from the bathtub.
He dried himself off, changed into clean clothes, and pushed open the bathroom door.
In the living room.
At this moment, Ah Yin was sitting on the sofa, her face still showing signs of excitement.
Su Mo sat down next to her and asked with a smile, "How was it?"
Ah Yin's eyes were filled with joy. "My soul power has increased by five levels, and it's now level forty-seven!"
Level 5 soul power.
If she relied entirely on her own hard work, even with the top-tier talent of the Blue Silver Emperor, it would still take her at least a year to complete.
This Immortal Herb, in such a short time, saved her hundreds of days and nights of arduous cultivation.
More importantly, she could clearly feel that the Immortal Herb not only enhanced her soul power, but also fundamentally improved her cultivation foundation.
Her future cultivation speed would definitely accelerate greatly.
"Congratulations." Su Mo smiled slightly.
Looking at Su Mo, Ah Yin suddenly felt a complex mix of emotions.
She said softly, "Su Mo, thank you..."
They had only known each other for a short time, yet he had been so kind to her, not only buying her so many things but also giving her such a precious Immortal Herb...
But she had nothing and did not know how to repay him.
Su Mo reached out and ruffled Ah Yin's blue hair, chuckling softly. "I don't need anything in return from you."
Ah Yin was taken aback by this sudden intimate gesture, and her cheeks instantly flushed red.
She did not flinch, but simply lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
She whispered, "But... I just feel a little guilty."
"How about this?" Su Mo pointed to his cheek. "Give me a kiss, and that will be your way of repaying me."
"Give you... a kiss?"
Ah Yin stared blankly at Su Mo, her mind seemingly frozen.
Seeing her reaction, Su Mo laughed and said, "What, you don't want to? Then forget it, pretend I didn't say anything."
"I..." Ah Yin bit her lower lip tightly, her hands unconsciously gripping the hem of her skirt.
She hesitated for a moment, then seemed to have finally mustered up her courage.
She turned her head and her red lips quickly touched Su Mo's cheek before parting.
Then she quickly moved away like a startled deer, lowering her head deeply, not daring to look at him.
Su Mo chuckled lightly. "Alright, go to your room and rest."
"Then... what about you?"
"I'll sleep here tonight."
"Um..." Ah Yin bit her lip, seemingly hesitating about something.
"What's wrong?"
"Um..." Ah Yin's cheeks flushed, and her voice grew softer and softer. "The bed... the bed is quite big."
After saying that, her heart started beating even faster.
Su Mo chuckled softly. "Are you sure?"
Ah Yin gave a soft "hmm."
She really did not want Su Mo to sleep on the sofa.
He had given her so much, yet she could give back nothing.
If she still made him sleep on the sofa, wouldn't she be too selfish?
At this moment, Su Mo stood up and extended his hand. "Let's go."
Ah Yin looked at the hand extended in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and then put her hand in his.
Su Mo took her hand and gently pulled her up from the sofa.
Ah Yin was led by him, following closely behind, her heart pounding like a drum.
Inside the bedroom.
Su Mo released her hand, walked to the bedside, and lay down naturally.
Ah Yin stood by the bed, at a loss for what to do.
"Not going to sleep?" Su Mo turned his head to look at her.
"Sleep... sleep."
Ah Yin responded softly, took off her shoes, carefully climbed onto the bed, and lay down on the edge of it.
She had her back to Su Mo, her body tense.
There was a considerable distance between the two of them, enough for another person to lie down.
The room was extremely quiet, with only the soft breathing of the two people.
Ah Yin closed her eyes, but she could not fall asleep no matter what.
"Ah Yin," Su Mo said softly.
Ah Yin's body stiffened slightly. "Hmm?"
"You're sleeping so far away. Aren't you afraid of falling?"
Ah Yin: "..."
She was indeed about to fall.
"I..."
"Come closer."
After hesitating for a moment, Ah Yin moved further inside.
But there was still some distance.
Su Mo sighed, reached out, and put his arm around her waist, gently pulling her closer.
Ah Yin was pulled over by him, her back pressed against his chest.
Her body stiffened instantly, and her mind went blank.
Was Su Mo going to do something to her...?
"Don't be nervous, I'll give you time to prepare," Su Mo's voice rang in her ear. "Go to sleep."
Ah Yin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, gave a soft "hmm," and then closed her eyes.
She did not know when she fell asleep, but she slept soundly that night.
...
Several days later.
Spirit Hall, Papal Palace.
Qian Xunji was sitting upright on the papal throne.
At this moment, Bibi Dong entered the main hall and asked excitedly, "Teacher, is there news from Junior Brother again?"
Now, Bibi Dong was taller and had a more graceful figure, and her every move exuded a mature charm.
Qian Xunji could not help but smile when he saw Bibi Dong's impatient expression.
"Yes, Xiao Mo has already left the Killing City and appeared in Tianxing City of the Heaven Dou Empire."
"Tianxing City?" Bibi Dong frowned slightly, searching her memory for the name. "What kind of place is that? What is he going there for?"
"Just a small border town, nothing special," Qian Xunji said calmly.
"Your junior brother slaughtered the local city lord's mansion, his entire clan, plus the city's garrison soldiers, totaling over a hundred people."
Bibi Dong was slightly taken aback, then asked, "Junior Brother certainly wouldn't kill for no reason. Did the City Lord's Mansion do something?"
"That's right." Qian Xunji nodded. "According to the local Spirit Branch Hall Master, the Zhao family has been oppressing the people for many years, treating human life like dirt, and committing all kinds of evil. Xiao Mo was standing up for those people."
"That's right. He deserved to die."
Qian Xunji smiled and did not say anything more about the topic.
"Dong'er, you're in such a hurry to find out about Xiao Mo. You wouldn't happen to be thinking of going to see him, would you?"
Bibi Dong nodded. "Yes, teacher."
Qian Xunji shook his head slightly and sighed. "But Xiao Mo has already left Tianxing City, and no one knows where he went. Where are you supposed to look for him?"
Bibi Dong's expression instantly fell, and her lips pursed slightly.
Yes, in this vast sea of people, where could she possibly find him...?
Qian Xunji stood up, walked to Bibi Dong, and said earnestly,
"Dong'er, you need to seize the time to cultivate. You also know the message that Gui Mei brought back half a year ago."
"Xiao Mo not only broke through to the Soul Saint realm and acquired three 100,000-year soul rings, but also passed the Divine Trial. You should understand what this means."
Bibi Dong nodded; of course she understood.
The Divine Trial signified the possibility of becoming a god.
As for her, she had only reached level 59 Soul King through cultivation.
She felt that she would never be able to catch up with Su Mo's pace in her entire life.
