Morning Star

But during that period she was with him almost every day, so where did he find the time to buy it?

Wait, she remembered. One time he was refining the elixir, no, she thought he was refining the elixir. The scent she smelled was the scent of milk. She asked him curiously, but he ignored her. She thought that he couldn't be disturbed when refining the elixir, after all, he had said so, so she didn't ask again.

He gave her a few pills at the time, but because the quantity was too small and the room was filled with the smell of medicine, the taste of the sugar was diluted.

Thinking of this, her heart warmed. She took the small paper bag, took out a candy, put it in her mouth, and started eating happily.

It was as if she had not just quarreled with him and was not angry.

She approached him and smiled at him, then asked curiously in a low voice: "Can the alchemy furnace also make sugar?"

Mo Xinglan glanced at her and ignored her.

She added: "You are amazing."

"..."Mo Xinglan still didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth inadvertently rose slightly.

Chujiu took several of them and put them in her mouth, stuffing her mouth full. She murmured with some regret and envy, "You know everything. Whoever marries you in the future will be very happy. She will let you cook whatever she wants to eat."

"..." Mo Xinglan was stunned for a moment after hearing this and glanced at her sideways.

Marry him? Who can marry him?

Thinking of this, he raised his eyes to look at her again, this time without blinking.

Chujiu lowered his head and looked at the candy in the bag. His mind was entirely on the candy and he didn't notice him at all.

Mo Xinglan felt helpless as he watched. Why did she have to fill her mouth with food? She wasn't afraid of choking.

Seeing that she was enjoying her meal, his mood also improved.

Suddenly he remembered something, put away his smile and said seriously: "I will find you after entering the secret realm. You..."

He paused and clenched his hands hanging at his sides: "Don't be afraid."

Chujiu then looked up at him blankly, and nodded after a while: "Yeah."

Then she looked at the candy in the small paper bag, hesitated for a moment, took out one and held it to his mouth: "Try it."

Mo Xinglan looked at the candy in front of him and remembered that when he was very young, his mother would bring him candy every time she came back from outside. The candy was about the same size as this. And what he looked forward to most at that time was his mother bringing back candy.

But then...

His eyes dimmed and he turned his face away: "I don't want to eat."

Chujiu didn't put his hand down and continued to persuade: "...but it's really delicious. I've already taken it out, just try it."

Mo Xinglan looked down at her, and after a while he took the candy from her hand.

Chujiu smiled with relief, that's right.

However, just as she smiled, her chin was lifted up by a hand, and then a candy was stuffed into her mouth.

The ninth day of the lunar month: "..."

She was relieved for nothing.

Mo Xinglan looked in another direction: "The entrance to the secret realm is open, let's go."

Only then did she notice that people were rushing to fly in one direction.

Chu Furong reminded, "Hurry up, don't be distracted. Remember to reunite first. If you really can't, find a reliable companion first."

The three of them nodded and reached a consensus.

Then the four of them followed the crowd and flew towards the entrance.

*

After a dizzy spell, Chujiu finally felt grounded.

Looking around, she saw towering trees and green all around. At first glance, she thought she had entered a tropical rain forest.

Otherwise, why is this place called a secret realm? The spiritual energy inside the secret realm is several times richer than outside the secret realm. If you stay in there for three to five years, your cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds.

Places with such rich spiritual energy usually have a lot of spiritual medicines, and when there are a lot of spiritual medicines, there will be more monsters.

I don’t know if the level of the monsters here is very high. If she encounters one, can she defeat it?

She only hoped that Mo Xinglan would find her quickly. Although she would not die so easily, what if those monsters liked to dig out people's hearts or chew on people's heads? Then she would be finished.

This forest feels quite large.

She randomly picked a direction and walked carefully, collecting spiritual medicines as she walked.

Fortunately, she learned some knowledge about spiritual medicine from the original owner's mother, and now it finally comes in handy.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, she suddenly stopped because she saw a familiar figure.

Why is Xu Lian here?

After carefully observing her surroundings and finding that she was the only one there, Chujiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If she was alone, it would be easier.

"Chujiu? I didn't expect that the first person I met would be you." Xu Lian looked at Chujiu with disdain.

"hehe."

Is this person stupid? He dared to say that she was the first person he met. Isn't he afraid that she would kill him?

"What do you mean?" Xu Lian was angered by Chujiu's two fake laughs.

"That's what you heard."

"You! Humph!" Xu Lian pointed at her and said confidently, "Do you dare to compete with me?"

Chujiu raised his eyebrows, he actually guessed it right.

"Why not? But, is there any reward for winning?"

"Hmph, you have to beat me first." After saying that, Xu Lian transformed his spiritual energy into a sword and slashed at Chujiu.

Chujiu frowned in dissatisfaction and dodged with a jump.

The stakes haven't even been decided yet, why are you starting a fight?

She dodged and said, "How about this, the treasure of the loser belongs to the winner, how about that?"

While attacking, Xu Lian replied disdainfully: "Okay. But you can't beat me."

Although she said this, she found that she had launched so many attacks on Chujiu, but all of them were dodged.

Chujiu was indeed able to dodge more easily here, and sometimes he would even say a few words to her, which would make her so angry that she would mess up her moves.

So far, Chujiu has not made any move, but has been dodging, which has made Xu Lian confused. It is obvious that Xu Lian is no match for Chujiu at all.

After hiding for a while, Chujiu saw that the situation was almost right and started to fight back.

This caught Xu Lian off guard.

Most of Xu Lian's moves had been used against Chujiu once, so they were easily resolved by Chujiu.

Chujiu's final blow landed on Xu Lian's shoulder.

Xu Lian fell to the ground and struggled for a few times but couldn't get up. She glared at Chujiu unwillingly.

She was unwilling to accept it. She was very unwilling to accept it. It was clear that Chujiu was just a loser not long ago, but he became more powerful than her so quickly.

"Huh?" Chujiu looked at his palm in confusion.

In fact, she herself was also very surprised and shocked by the fact that her strength increased so quickly. She was clearly only at the middle stage of the Earth Spirit Realm before, and although she was also at the middle stage now, the feeling she had was different from when she had just reached the middle stage.

Could it be that her cultivation is about to be upgraded again?

Thinking of this, she felt so happy.

While humming a song proudly, he squatted down and groped Xu Lian's body.
