Morning Star

"!"

I didn't expect this guy could see this. Was what she just showed so obvious?

Just as she was in shock, the blade on her neck moved closer.

It was obvious that he was not happy with her silence.

The approaching blade made her subconsciously tilt her neck back, trying to keep a little distance from the dagger on her neck.

"Do you really think I won't kill you?"

"Tell me, who are you and what do you want to do by approaching me?" The cold words came out from his pale lips. Even the sarcasm on his face was gone.

Chujiu knew that he could no longer remain silent and had to say something.

"I, I, I am Chujiu, the Chu family, Chujiu..."

"I'm asking about you, soul." He frowned slightly, a little impatient.

He mercilessly cut her neck with the sharp blade.

A trace of bright red blood oozed from the wound, forming a sharp contrast with the snow-white neck.

“!!!” It hurts!

The pain in her neck reminded her that she couldn't lie any longer, or he would really kill her.

And how did he know that she was not the original owner?

Why is there no warning or anything like that in the system?

Could she tell him who she was?

A series of questions instantly filled my mind.

Meeting Mo Xinglan's cold eyes.

No matter what, I'll just go for it. I have to tell the truth or not. The most important thing is to save my life.

She looked up at him and said, "I, I, I am Chujiu. My name is, I am really Chujiu."

"Before I fell into the lake, I ended up here. After I woke up, I didn't know what happened."

“……”Does this count as her admitting it?

Mo Xinglan looked with complicated eyes at the girl in front of him who was so frightened that she was confused and couldn't even speak clearly.

"Later, it started to rain, and I wanted to find a place to shelter from the rain, so I went into the cave, and then I met you. That's it." Chujiu calmed down and gave a half-true and half-false explanation.

"Why did you come over to block for me? And why did you use spiritual energy?" After listening to her explanation, his tone finally softened a little. The dagger against her neck was also retracted a little.

"I, I didn't know why I rushed over at that time. As for that spiritual energy, I really don't know how I used it."

"Why did you save me later? How did you know my name? And how did you know about the incident on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month?" Mo Xinglan continued to ask like he was interrogating a criminal.

"I, I have some memories of the original owner. As for, I saved you. I also said before, because if I don't save you, I will be alone here. Two, two people, is better than one person."

If there hadn't been a strong request from the system, she thought that although she would not have blocked the attack for Mo Xinglan, she would still have saved him.

"..."Mo Xinglan finally confirmed his guess.

He is indeed a person from another world.

"I, I'm done. Knife, knife..." She pointed at the dagger at her neck and reminded him.

"Miss Chu, since your feet hurt, you'd better not run around. Otherwise, it's easy to break your legs." The sarcasm returned to his face.

"?!" He, he still didn't believe her? He was telling her not to run away, absolutely.

The dagger in Mo Xinglan's hand disappeared out of thin air, and then he reached out and lifted Chujiu's fair chin. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, but there was no smile on his face: "If you don't listen, there's no need to live."

"?!" Does this man have any humanity left? She has clearly told him that she is not from here, why does he still want to kill people?

terrible!

When she thought about the fact that she was still trying to conquer this person, she felt that her life was in danger and she might be killed by this person at any time.

Mo Xinglan was very satisfied with the fear on Chujiu's face.

He released her chin and turned back to sit.

If she is afraid, it means that it is still useful to keep her. He wants her to know that the consequence of deceiving him is only death.

Chujiu leaned against the wall for a long time, feeling isolated from the world.

After a while, he slowly squatted on the ground against the wall.

Mo Xinglan, who was standing next to her, didn't look at her again after he sat down, but started to heal his injuries.

I didn't sleep well last night, and I woke up to this early in the morning. I feel unwell both mentally and physically, and I'm hungry now.

However, the fruit she picked yesterday happened to be so close to Mo Xinglan that she didn't dare to get close to him at all.

So he could only stare at the fruit, then at the person who was resting with his eyes closed.

"Gululu, gurulu..."

Only when her stomach began to tell her that it was hungry and needed to eat did she slowly crawl over, risking him putting a dagger to her neck again.

She crawled to a place just one step away from the fruit and stopped, looking at him warily, and reached out to take the fruit tremblingly.

It looked as if the person in front was not a human, but a demon.

Unexpectedly, just as she placed her hand on a snow fruit, the person next to her opened his eyes, turned his head to look at her, and then lowered his eyes to look at the snow-white little hand.

"!"

"..."

With a sneer, he reached out and took the snow fruit she wanted. He took a bite without hesitation and looked at Chujiu who was still standing there stupidly holding the snow fruit.

Afraid of him? Then continue to be afraid.

"..." After a few seconds, Chujiu withdrew his hand, hugged his knees and looked ahead with lifeless eyes, but he had already cursed Mo Xinglan a thousand times in his heart.

You really can't judge a book by its cover, this bastard has a face that looks like it could bring disaster to the country and its people, but his heart is actually black, blacker than coal.

He is just a monster, a black-hearted monster. Yes, he is a black-hearted monster.

Even without looking at her face at this moment, Mo Xinglan knew that she must be cursing him in her heart.

Whatever, as long as she keeps her hands and feet in check.

Time passed quietly, and the drizzle outside the cave gradually turned into a drizzle. It was almost noon.

I haven't eaten anything for the whole morning on the ninth day of the first lunar month. I'm so hungry that I feel a little dizzy and have stars in my eyes from time to time.

I finally understand what it means to have no desire in life. This is what she is like now.

Alas, what a miserable life!

Just as I was lamenting my miserable life, a smell of barbecue suddenly came from the cave.

For Chujiu, who had been hungry for the whole morning, it was like a person walking in the dark suddenly seeing a beam of light in front of her. That light was her hope.

And this barbecue is really delicious!

Looking up at the source of the fragrance, I saw Mo Xinglan holding a stick with a piece of meat on it, roasting it on a pile of firewood that he had piled up at some point.

The aroma of barbecue filled the entire cave, and it looked like it would be almost done.

"..."

He ignored the person next to him whose eyes were shining with anticipation and who was almost drooling.

After what happened a few times before, she no longer dared to get close to him. Even if there was the temptation of food, she didn't dare to get close to him easily.

After a while, Mo Xinglan took the barbecue off the rack.

He tore off a small half and handed the other large half of the meat on the stick to her.

"?..."

Looking at the barbecue in front of him, Chujiu did not reach out to take it immediately, but stared at him in confusion.

I don't understand what he wants to do. He wanted to kill her several times before, and now he gives her barbecue. Is he trying to poison her?

"What's the matter, Miss Chu, are you afraid that I have poisoned it? You don't dare to eat it?" he said sarcastically.

!

Can he read her mind? How does he know what she is thinking?

Seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, his eyes turned cold and he withdrew his hand.

But before he could pull his hand back, it was grabbed by two hands.

"Here, how can you take back something you gave me? I didn't say I don't want to eat it."

I don't know where she got the courage to take the barbecue stick from his hand.

He picked up the barbecue and started eating it without caring about anything.

Looking at Chujiu who was eating without any image, Mo Xinglan sneered: "Aren't you afraid it might be poisonous?"

“?!…” Chujiu paused for a few seconds and continued eating, saying, “Wufa (not afraid)” while eating.

"..."

……

In less than three minutes, Chujiu finished the barbecue in his hand.

Maybe it was because the barbecue Mo Xinglan made was so delicious, or maybe it was because she was just too hungry. She felt like she wasn't full yet.

Looking at the clean stick in his hand, a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.

What a pity? It's a pity that I haven't eaten enough.

So he looked at Mo Xinglan. No, to be more precise, at the half-eaten barbecue. His eyes were full of desire.

From time to time, she looked up and stared at him expectantly, licking her lips unconsciously.

It looked like a puppy wanting the meat in its owner's hands.

“……” Noticing the gaze of the person next to him, he looked over.

Seeing this, he was speechless.

I gave her most of the barbecue just because I thought she hadn't eaten all morning, but she was still not full.

Judging from the look in her eyes, she still wants what's in his hand.

He moved the barbecue to the left.

Chujiu's eyes also moved to the left.

Move right again.

Chujiu's eyes also moved to the right.

"Still want to eat?"

She swallowed and nodded honestly: "Yeah."

But in her heart she was thinking that he would definitely not give it to her.

But the next second the small piece of meat was in her hand.

"?"

Looking at the barbecue in her hands, she felt like she was dreaming.

He actually gave it to her!

She looked up and stared at him in disbelief.

"Why, you don't want to eat again." He wiped the grease off his hands.

Chujiu immediately protected the meat: "No."

After saying that, he started eating.

But this time she ate very slowly, fearing that the meat in her hand would be finished soon.

"..."

Looking at the girl who seemed to be eating normally, the more I looked at her, the more she looked like a beggar from somewhere.

"Well, I have to say, your grilled meat is delicious. It's the best I've ever eaten in my life." Chujiu said as he ate. He said the last sentence in a low voice.

"..."

Mo Xinglan just looked at her without saying anything.

Afraid that he wouldn't believe her, she added, "What I said is true. You are obviously the young master of the Mo family, so how can you make this barbecue so delicious?"

"..."

He turned his head to look at the fire in front of him and ignored her words.

"You can grill meat so deliciously, can you cook rice?"
