Chapter 1283: We will be together through life and death.
When they saw each other, they looked at each other in silence. Shen Xueqi was of a cold personality, while Mo Cheng didn't know what to say for a moment.
"I heard that you were in seclusion before?"
"Yes ." Shen Xueqi nodded slightly, "I have made some breakthroughs in my cultivation, and I have been consolidating it in seclusion for a period of time."
"Congratulations." From Mo Cheng's perspective, improving one's level... or improving one's cultivation level is undoubtedly something worth celebrating.
At the same time, he took out a bracelet, which was made up of a dozen pure white round beads the size of little fingers, emitting an aura of concentration and tranquility.
"This is the essence I refined after killing the demon from the sixth day of the Desire Realm. It has the effect of calming the mind and preventing the invasion of foreign demons. I'll take it as a gift to Xueqi for her breakthrough in cultivation."
After his cultivation of the Free Heavenly Demon was refined, it had the effect of resisting the invasion of foreign demons. I don't know if this is some kind of extreme that will turn into the opposite, or a law that Mo Cheng is not familiar with is at work.
Shen Xueqi took the bracelet and seemed to like the gift very much. She looked at it carefully and asked, "Are you also giving such a gift to Senior Sister?"
"Forehead……"
Mo Cheng was slightly stunned. He was not sure whether he had heard a hint of complaint in Shen Xueqi's words just now.
This kind of emotion should rarely appear in Shen Xueqi.
Seeing that Mo Cheng didn't answer, Shen Xueqi continued as if nothing had happened, "I heard that after you returned to this world, you went to Nanli Daoyu to look for your senior sister first."
It sounded like a question, but the tone was more like a statement.
These words were like a gust of cold wind, which made Mo Cheng's brain shudder suddenly. At the same time, it also made him realize that he came back to find Yue Yao and Ling Ying first and then went to do other things. He came to find Shen Xueqi only after finishing almost all the things. This was very unkind.
Although it was because Mo Huaiyuan proposed to let Yue Yao and Ling Ying serve as communication personnel between Nanli Daoyu and Andel, so Mo Cheng needed to go and ask their wishes, but it was actually more fatal to say this.
This simply means that Yueyao and Lingying are very important, so we need to find them first, and Shen Xueqi is not important.
My brain started to work rapidly, trying to make amends for what I had done without considering it carefully, but the more I thought about it, the more confused I became, and I had no idea at all.
"According to mortal practices, at this time..." Shen Xueqi tilted her head slightly and said hesitantly, "Should I... punish you?"
When his brain was completely confused and gave up thinking, a certain organ was liberated, and Mo Cheng immediately said with a smile, "Okay, as long as Xueqi says a word, Mo Cheng will do it for you no matter if it means climbing mountains of swords and descending seas of fire, or catching the stars and the moon."
With Mo Cheng's current strength, no matter whether the moon in the sky is a real celestial body or the kingdom of a certain god, it is not difficult to capture it.
"Then... walk with me."
A punishment that was not really a punishment. Mo Cheng had even prepared himself to destroy the entire God system by himself for a moment, but he didn't expect that the [punishment] that came out of Shen Xueqi's mouth was just to walk with her.
Walking side by side with Shen Xueqi, although there were no main roads on Yunping Mountain , with their cultivation level, they did not need to pay attention to small things like the road.
Mo Cheng knew that Shen Xueqi had a cold personality, so when he left, he also talked about what had happened recently, just as a topic of conversation.
The worlds merged, the main material world formed an alliance, the countries surrendered and presented scepters and crowns, Aundair became an empire, the Nanli Dao Realm merged with the Aundair Empire, the Aundair royal family abdicated, he ascended the throne, the empire was renamed Zhendan, and so on.
"So you are the ruler of a country now?"
Shen Xueqi glanced at Mo Cheng with a little surprise. Although she seldom interacted with people, she still had some idea of what she should do.
The fighting power of a country's king generally fluctuates between [most capable] and [quite capable]. At the same time, he must also be talented, far-sighted, diligent and love his people.
There is no doubt that Mo Cheng is a good fighter, and he is also an expert in military strategy. However, based on past experiences with him, it seems that Mo Cheng has no such thing as "diligent in government" at all.
"So, I should call you Emperor?"
"Mo Cheng." Mo Cheng said solemnly, "In front of Xueqi, Mo Cheng is just Mo Cheng. I don't have any other identity, and I don't need that kind of address."
Shen Xueqi lowered her head slightly, put her hand on her lips, and thought about something. After a while, she said, "Ah Cheng?"
"?"
"I heard that this is what friends call each other, isn't it?"
"No, quite right."
In Mo Cheng's hometown, some people do call their close ones this way, but the name "Acheng" is a bit awkward for him.
After all, the last "A Cheng" known to everyone ended up with "Nice Boat". Although Mo Cheng felt that no one would be interested in him at all, it was like no one was called "Hui" after the Song Dynasty, which sounded very shabby.
"By the way, after Xueqi comes out of seclusion, do you have any plans?"
"My cultivation has been consolidated during this retreat. If I want to make further progress, I must go down the mountain to gain experience in the secular world. Just like last time."
Cultivators have very high requirements for their state of mind. Even for someone like Shen Xueqi, who has been taught by a famous teacher since childhood and has excellent physique and talent, she still has to go through worldly trials before she can make further progress.
In fact, even this time of retreat was due to the many things he experienced when he went down the mountain with Mo Cheng last time, which greatly improved his cultivation.
As if realizing something from Shen Xueqi's words, Mo Cheng asked, "Do you want to go down the mountain and travel with me?"
He lowered his head in deep thought, as if considering the feasibility of this matter. "It's not impossible. After all, I can neither take care of things nor sit still on the throne. Wandering around is more in line with my personality. But I still have some things to deal with recently..."
"It's okay. I'll go find my senior sister first, and then I'll wait for you there. It's a good opportunity to ask my senior sister about the various things in the world."
"If that's the case..." Mo Cheng thought for a moment and took out a ring.
When Shen Xueqi saw the ring, she was shocked all over and stared blankly at Mo Cheng picking up her left hand.
"The world is dangerous (there are wars everywhere now), I really don't trust you to travel alone (the Lord of the Abyss is completely hostile), so wear this (gives you a powerful buff)."
Slowly putting the ring on his ring finger, Mo Cheng hummed softly beside him, "We will be together through life and death. I will hold your hand and grow old with you."
Looking at the ring on her ring finger, Shen Xueqi held it to her chest. "Master gave me the red string to suppress my mind, but these days, you and I have practiced together, and I have truly understood the key points. I can control my power more freely. Perhaps, this is the red string that can really lock me up."
The emotions in her heart were surging, which were emotions Shen Xueqi had never experienced before, and at the same time, they also shattered her icy state of mind.
Hot and scorching, yet it is like a moth to a flame.
Everything looks so perfect.
If it weren't for someone's last words...
"This [Protection Contract] may have some side effects later, but it doesn't matter, I can handle it. Can you feel the power of this [Protection Contract] now?"
