Morning Star

"Piao Miao! Piao Miao! Come out quickly, I'm going to be strangled to death by Mo Xinglan!" Chu Jiu couldn't make any sound, so she had to call Piao Miao.

"Don't worry, you can hold on for a while." Piaomiao appeared and answered.

"F**k you...If I get killed by Mo Xinglan, it's your responsibility. You have to send me back, otherwise I will give you a very bad review and file a complaint against you!"

Piao Miao was silent for a while and then said: "...The Mo family and the Chu family have a friendly relationship and often interact with each other. This is the only information I can give you. Please keep calm and solve the problem at hand."

As expected, something like the system is a threat.

But this information is totally useless.

After all this talk, she still has to rely on herself.

She opened her mouth to speak, but no sound came out. She slapped his hands that were pinching her neck with both hands, and the white hands that were pinching her were red.

Mo Xinglan loosened his grip a little and waited for her to speak.

"Cough, cough..."

Afraid that he would strangle her again, she coughed twice and quickly said, "I saved you because I wanted to call you. No, I wanted to ask you to take me home. I'm lost. There are wild beasts everywhere in the wilderness. I can't find the way back. Don't kill me. Please, I just want to go home."

If it wasn't for the purpose of completing the mission and returning home, who would come to such a dangerous place and come into contact with such a dangerous person like him?

After listening to her explanation, he looked at her for a few seconds and said sarcastically, "Miss Chu, with your level of cultivation, would you come to a place like this? And you just happen to know where I am. What a coincidence. What do you think, Miss Chu?"

She was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained: "I, I just saw that my cultivation was too low, so I came out to broaden my horizons. And I didn't know where you were, I just happened to pass by and heard the noise of a fight. Curious, I quietly came over to take a look, and happened to see that you looked familiar, so I recognized you. I thought it would be nice to have one more person to keep me company in this remote place, so I helped you."

I thought he would let her go after listening to her explanation, but he grabbed her neck again, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and his eyes were cold: "Miss Chu is different from the rumors."

The corners of her mouth twitched, and her mind raced: "That's just a rumor. They haven't had any contact with me, so how could they know what my true personality is like? That's just a rumor."

What rumors? She knew nothing about them.

"Oh, really?" Mo Xinglan sneered, his eyes flickered as he thought of something and let go of her.

He stood up and sat back in his original seat, glanced at her meaningfully, picked up the clothes beside him and put them on.

Chujiu, who was lying on the ground and breathing heavily, did not intend to get up, but stared at the ceiling of the cave angrily.

It was as if the top of the cave was Mo Xinglan, and he wished he could stare a hole in it.

She couldn't beat him, and after saving him, he repaid her with evil. What kind of person is he? She was so angry.

"Please ask the task force to make some progress before they separate from Mo Xinglan this time." Just as he was staring at the top of the cave with great excitement, Piaomiao's emotionless voice rang in his mind.

"What a ghost's progress. Didn't you see that I was almost strangled to death by him just now?" she said unhappily in her mind.

"Please ask the tasker to take action."

“……”Can she not take action?

"Please take action within three seconds, three, two..."

"I move! Is it not okay for me to move?" What a sin.

Oh, her life is so miserable!

Reluctantly, he slowly got up and sat cross-legged, staring at the person in front of him who was resting with his eyes closed without blinking.

This man was extremely beautiful and harmless, and with his pale face, he was even more Lin Daiyu than Lin Daiyu. However, he had just killed a monster as big as an adult elephant not long ago, and just now he had strangled her neck and almost killed her. She had heard of Lin Daiyu uprooting a weeping willow, but this was the first time she saw "Lin Daiyu" uprooting the entire tree and swinging it around to kill a big tiger, and almost killed her. It was really a ghost.

"Is there something on my face? Let Miss Chu keep staring at it." Mo Xinglan noticed that there was a pair of eyes staring at him, so he opened his eyes and looked into those eyes.

Chujiu came back to his senses and pulled the corner of his mouth: "Mr. Mo, don't you know?"

"?"

"Mr. Mo is much more beautiful than flowers, that's why I keep staring at him." She joked to ease the atmosphere.

Unexpectedly, Mo Xinglan didn't say anything after hearing this, but stared at her coldly. His eyes seemed to say: You are looking for death.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm telling the truth." Chujiu whispered.

As soon as the words fell, Mo Xinglan's cold eyes revealed a hint of murderous intent: "If you don't want your tongue, how about I pull it out for you?"

"No, no, I want it! I was wrong, I was wrong. If you don't like it, I won't tell you." Chujiu was so scared that he covered his mouth and shrank back.

"..." He then put away the murderous intent in his eyes and turned it into scrutiny.

After a while...

Chujiu was frightened by his stare, and his back was wet with cold sweat. He swallowed and moved back: "Yes, is there anything wrong?"

Don't stare at her. She's already afraid of him.

Mo Xinglan ignored her frightened expression and spat out a word with disdain: "Ugly."

Not only was it ugly, it also disgusted him.

If she wasn't still of some use, there would be no need for him to keep her.

"?!"

It took Chujiu a while to realize that he was talking about her. Immediately, even her fear of him disappeared, and she was filled with anger.

She had never been called ugly in her life, and she was told so with that expression. It really pissed her off, but she didn't dare to say it back.

But then again, she hadn't even looked closely at what the original owner looked like. After hearing what he said, could it be that she was really an ugly freak?

"You, you... I'm not ugly, I'm very beautiful." No matter whether the original owner is beautiful or not, just brag about herself first.

Mo Xinglan snorted coldly: "Not only is it ugly, it's also dirty."

"You! You, you just wait for me!" She put her hands on her hips, glared at him angrily, and turned to walk towards the cave entrance.

She came to the beach at the entrance of the cave and leaned over to look in. At first glance, she was startled by the reflection in the water.

Her face was now covered with dirt and dust, with gray spots here and black spots there, and her hair was messy. She looked like a beggar begging for food. She was really ugly and dirty.

But that was his fault. In order to wipe his face, she forgot to wash her own face.

She stretched out her hands, scooped up some water, washed her face in the rain outside, and combed her hair.

After cleaning, look down at your reflection in the water.

A small face as white as jade was reflected in the water.

Her eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, and her big, watery eyes are particularly spiritual. Her eyelashes are long, thick and dense, curling up and blinking like the wings of a fluttering butterfly; her nose is straight and small and exquisite; her mouth is as delicate and red as a cherry.

Every screen and every smile is full of vitality and touching.

If Mo Xinglan's beauty is as cold and ethereal as the moon, then the original owner's beauty is as sunny and lively as the sun.

When she smiles, she looks like a little sun.

But why does this face look more and more like her own face?

Thinking of this, she lifted her bangs up, and the next moment she understood. She had never had bangs before, and this face still had the immaturity of a girl, and she had long hair, so she didn't recognize that this face looked very similar to her original one.

After thinking about it, he smiled proudly again.

You said she was ugly, right? Let’s see if he will say it again now?

She turned around triumphantly and limped towards him. If she had a tail, it would have been raised high. She also smiled brightly at him.

This smile reveals innocence and cuteness, like the sunshine in early spring that makes people feel warm.

"..."

For a moment, the girl in front of him who was smiling at him made him lose his mind.

Although it was only a moment, the observant Chujiu still caught it. He smiled with satisfaction: "I told you I'm beautiful, but you still don't believe me. Hehe."

“…It’s so ugly.”

He turned his head away, wondering if there was something wrong with his eyes.

It really is a little different from before. Or is she pretending?

Chujiu rolled his eyes at him, snorted, and ignored him.

It's hard for her to reason with him because he's stubborn.

"hiss!"

As soon as he sat down cross-legged, the injury on his foot was moved and he took a cold breath.

Only then did he remember that the wounds on his body had not yet been cleaned.

He looked at the torn coat beside him, stood up and picked it up, then came to the cave entrance and began to treat his wounds in the rain.

She only had some scratches on her body, which were negligible compared to those on Mo Xinglan.

But she had never experienced anything like this before. This was the most serious injury she had ever suffered. She was afraid of pain since she was a child, so every time she cleaned the wound, she inhaled in pain, but she was determined not to cry out.

Inside the cave, Mo Xinglan looked at her with disdain at the series of painful expressions on her face as she treated her wounds.

They're just some scratches, do they hurt so much?

Just as I was wondering, I saw her lift up her trouser legs, revealing her white knees.

"..."

She is a woman after all, but she is so casual to expose her legs in front of a man. What's wrong with her brain? Doesn't she know how to be more reserved?

He is indeed a madman.

After a while, Chujiu bandaged the wound on his foot and limped to Mo Xinglan and looked at him.

He looked up at her: "..."

"...You take a good rest here, I'll go outside to pick some wild fruits." She was silent for a few seconds and then said in a good temper.

If she could, she really didn't want to pick them, but she was hungry, and she also had to improve this guy's favorability. It was difficult!

He was slightly stunned and looked at her: "You go?"

"Yes, or you go?"

“……” He turned his head away and said nothing more.

Chujiu turned and walked out of the cave.

When I walked to the entrance of the cave, I heard Mo Xinglan's cold voice behind me: "Miss Chu, there are many monsters outside, don't run around. If you die accidentally, don't blame me for not warning you."
