The next morning, they continued on their journey. After Yan Mu presented the token from the chief of the Tsukuyomi tribe to the city guards, the city guards changed their attitude 180 degrees and said that the city lord regarded them as honored guests.

On the tower, flags fluttered in the wind. Inside the city lord's mansion, the lights were on, and a grand banquet was slowly beginning in the magnificent hall. The city lord Chen Li, wearing a golden silk brocade robe, a jade crown on his head, and smiling, stood in front of the mansion to welcome the distinguished guests from afar.

During the dinner, Zhao Wenting, as the main speaker, exchanged his experiences and thoughts with Chen Li, and laughter could be heard from time to time. When the time was right, Zhao Wenting mentioned helping them go to the Sichuan region.

"Okay, okay, but... I can only open the teleportation gate and send you in. I've heard from my elders a few years ago about the other parts of this rift abyss. I'm afraid... the living conditions there are incomparable to the sand sea!" Chen Li said thoughtfully, his deep eyes scanning between the few people. "If it weren't for the request of the Tsukuyomi clan leader, I would never open the teleportation taboo privately. Well, just consider it as repaying the Tsukuyomi clan leader for saving my life. I will take you to the Yellow Sand Temple in three days."

"Thank you, City Lord Chen."

Several people learned from Chen Li's style of doing things that this man was not a simple person.

Mo Mo volunteered to perform sword dance to liven up the atmosphere.

She walked slowly into the center, holding a long sword, the blade of the sword flashing coldly under the light. Her steps were light and firm, as if every step was on the beat. As the music rose and fell, she began to dance, and the tip of the sword drew beautiful arcs in the air with her movements. Every turn and every jump of hers was full of power and elegance. The sword light formed by the gathering of spiritual power flowed around her like water, sometimes pouring down like a waterfall, and sometimes winding around her like a thin thread.

Everyone's attention was attracted by this touching scene, especially Chen Li who was sitting in the main seat. He held his breath and concentrated, afraid of missing any details.

"Hey? When will Mo Mo have time to sign up for the dance class? Not bad. Look at the city lord, his eyes are almost glued to Mo Mo." Liang Chuxin turned sideways and whispered to Yan Mu.

"Momo is very smart and quick to understand. She can learn things quickly." Yan Mu glanced at Chen Li who was sitting at the main seat, then leisurely picked up some food and drank some wine.

On the other hand, Zhao Wenting remained silent, clenched the porcelain cup in his hand with his fingers, pursed his lips, and a feeling of jealousy rose in his heart.

As the music reached its climax, Mo Mo's dancing became more intense, the sword flashed through the banquet hall like lightning, and every touch of the sword tip seemed to stir up ripples in the air. Finally, with a gorgeous turn, she raised the sword high, the tip of the sword pointed directly at the sky, as if announcing her heroic figure to the world, and her spiritual power turned into many small flower buds that fell from the sky, and then bloomed the moment they landed.

The music stopped abruptly, and she slowly put away her sword and bowed gracefully to Chen Li who was sitting in the main seat.

"Miss Mo Mo, I wonder where this jade bracelet on your hand came from?" Chen Li's thoughts were pulled away from the beauty's sword dance, and a warm smile was on his face.

"This is a gift from Sister Lu Fu. Does the City Lord know it?"

Let him see the bracelet on his wrist, this is the purpose of Mo Mo's sword dance. The moment he took the initiative to ask, Mo Mo raised his eyebrows.

"I don't know her, but I think she looks very pretty. How old is she? Can we get married?"

Even Liang Chuxin and Yan Mu, who were sitting in the guest seats, were startled by Chen Li's sudden question.

"Bang!" The cup in Zhao Wenting's hand was crushed by the force of his fingers.

Liang Chuxin and Yan Mu:……???

Mo Mo pretended to be shy and covered her face with her sleeves, then shook her head.

Seeing that Zhao Wenting's face was darker than the bottom of a pot, Chen Li seemed to guess something with his wise eyes. Then he praised Mo Mo a little with a smile and called out the dancers from before to cheer him up and drink.

"You are really something. You didn't see the look in Chen Li's eyes when you were dancing with the sword. Oh my!" Liang Chuxin approached Mo Mo, who had returned to his seat, and whispered.

"Really? I didn't pay much attention to it." Mo Mo said lightly while stuffing food into his mouth.

"Also... just now, your master, you see, he crushed the cup into pieces."

"Then what? What do you want to say?" Mo Mo turned to look at her in confusion, his cheeks full of food, chewing and swallowing. "That only shows that their cups are not well made. They are called 'shoddy' products. But in a place like Shahai, it is indeed not easy to maintain the current prosperity."

After hearing Mo Mo's off-topic remarks, Liang Chuxin coughed twice and said nothing more.

[Okay, I don’t know if this person is really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. Can’t she see that Zhao Wenting has something special about her? ]

Liang Chuxin and Mo Mo wanted to see the night view of Huangsha City, so after the banquet, they went on a night cruise on Huangjiang River accompanied by Chen Li. Mo Mo specially picked a flower boat decorated with lanterns, which she thought was the most beautiful. Unexpectedly, the boat that Mo Mo and Liang Chuxin were riding on capsized. When they woke up, they were tied back to back on the ground. They looked up at the night outside the window and it was already midnight.

"Chu Xin, wake up!" Mo Mo knocked Liang Chuxin's head with the back of his head, and Liang Chuxin woke up in a dizziness.

"This is where?"

"Do you remember where we were before? I guess Chen Li might know about Lu Fu's situation. It should be the muscle softening powder. The effect of the medicine in my body has not worn off yet."

The two were discussing how to save themselves and escape, but suddenly they heard footsteps, so they quickly pretended to sleep.

"Don't pretend. I know you're awake."

Mo Mo opened his eyes and saw Chen Li and his two men holding red silk wooden plates behind him. One plate was covered with palm-sized shiny fish scales, and the other was a white ball that looked like a pearl and was faintly shining with golden light.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Mo Mo asked coldly.

"What do I want to do? Miss Mo Mo, before asking me this question, shouldn't I be the one asking you what you want to do first? I finally found someone as obedient and stunning as Lu Fu, but you ruined it!"

"It's you, you're just a beast!" The memories of Lu Fu's last moments flashed in Mo Mo's mind, and a boiling anger rose from her heart.

"Fortunately, you are not bad either." Chen Li held Mo Mo's face with his big hands, a trace of desire crawling out of his bottomless pupils, and his fingertips gradually moved down along her delicate facial lines.

"No!" Mo Mo screamed in horror.

"Beast! What are you doing! Let her go!" Liang Chuxin's heart tightened and she shouted loudly.

His fingertips stopped at Mo Mo's fair collarbone, and he said in a cold voice: "What are you doing? I'm going to make you pay back what you owe me double!"

After saying that, the man turned around and grabbed the fish scale-like thing from the plate in his hand.

"What is this?!" Mo Mo had a bad feeling.

"This is good stuff. It's the charm scales specially dug out from the charm demon. It's something that will make you feel super happy. Hahahaha..." Chen Li pinched Mo Mo's neck with a ferocious expression, forcing her to eat this thing.

Mo Mo, whose face was pale, had no extra energy to refuse. She struggled desperately with tears and shaking her head.

"No! Please, I beg you, please let her go."

Liang Chuxin was so anxious that tears came out of her eyes, but Chen Li laughed even more wildly in response to her begging.

"Don't worry, you will be my turn later." At this moment, Chen Li's voice sounded like a devil.

The ropes that bound the two people were untied, and Liang Chuxin was tightly restrained by his men. She watched Mo Mo being dragged into the inner room by him.

"No! I don't want it! Let me go!" Mo Mo struggled with all his strength.

"You have a pretty hot temper, my beauty. The more you are like this, the more excited I am. Hahaha..."

Mo Mo's face was blurred with tears of despair. She suddenly looked at the big red pillar in the room and had the idea of ​​"rather die than surrender". She would be reborn anyway, and she didn't want this kind of humiliation.

However, Chen Li was no pushover. He pulled her back into his arms after she had just taken a step out, and dragged her into the inner room: "Want to die? Impossible! Not only can you not die now, you can't die in the future either. You still have to be the 'twin top stars' of Xiaoyao Pavilion in the future."

"Ah! No! I don't want it!"

The silk curtain that partitioned the inner room was lowered, blocking Liang Chuxin's sight. The only sounds that could be heard from inside were the sounds of things being thrown and Mo Mo resisting.

Liang Chuxin's eyes gradually lost focus, and her mind recalled the desperate scene when Mo Mo was dug up for the elixir. She cried so hard that tears and snot came out, and her heart felt like it was being torn apart.

"Please, let her go..."
