In the end, Shen Mo couldn't return the things because of his firm attitude, but neither of them spoke on the way back.

Qin Moyu concentrated on eating the candy painting - he asked for a peach-shaped candy painting - he ate the round candy peach from the top, licked the candy painting bit by bit, and narrowed his eyes with satisfaction.

The painting of Shen Mo eating candy is another style of painting. He bit into most of one of the lotus flowers in one gulp, and it tasted like wax. He chewed it for a few mouthfuls and swallowed it. The candy in his mouth was sweet, but when he ate it, he felt bitter in his heart. of.

He finally knows what it means to dig a hole for yourself.

If he was just guilty of plotting against Qin Moyu before, now he just wants to go back in time and strangle himself who made the plan.

Let alone expressing his feelings to Qin Moyu now, Shen Mo would have a headache as to how to prevent Qin Moyu from resisting him like this.

The walk back to the palace was long or short, and every step was a sweet torment for Shen Mo.

It is naturally impossible for Qin Moyu and Shen Mo to live in the same place. Their residences can even be said to be completely opposite.

Standing at a fork, Qin Moyu shook the half-eaten candy painting in his hand: "I'm going back."

Shen Mo nodded and followed Qin Moyu's example in shaking the sugar paintings, but it was obvious that he had not finished even a third of the sugar paintings: "Good night."

To be honest, the way he looked silly holding up the sugar paintings was a bit funny.

He obviously has a face that can be called an evil villain, but Qin Moyu can feel that he is not the kind of ambitious tycoon. Whenever he talks to him, he is always a bit weak, and his emotions are clearly exposed, which is completely unlike him. The emperor who was strategizing seemed to be the one who had the strength to transcend the tribulation period, not Shen Mo but himself.

Maybe it was because listening to the shadow puppet show today made me happy, or maybe it was because the contrast between Shen Mo and Shen Mo was too great. Qin Moyu showed a faint smile: "Good night."

This was a fleeting smile, not even gentle, but it made Shen Mo fascinated.

He watched Qin Moyu's retreating figure without turning around for a moment.

If Qin Moyu turned around now, he would be shocked to find that the tenderness in Shen Mo's eyes was exactly the same as Shen Yebai's.

Sleepless night.

Qin Moyu felt that it was a mistake not to endure the temptation and go to the night market with Shen Mo that day.

Because since that day, Shen Mo always appeared in front of him "accidentally".

It was as if he had a pair of eyes on himself. No matter where Qin Moyu went, he could meet him. Whether he was chatting with Shen Yu or wandering around in the imperial garden, he could always find him accurately.

"What a coincidence." Qin Moyu smiled slyly at Shen Mo who appeared from nowhere. After these encounters by chance, he no longer had the respect for Shen Mo that he had for the powerful senior before. There was only a lot of speechlessness left.

"yes."

Shen Mo deserved to be an emperor once. He told lies without blinking an eye. He said very shamelessly: "I just wanted to come here for a stroll, and then I met you Mo Yu again. What a coincidence."

"Then you are very good at picking places."

Qin Moyu rolled his eyes for a rare moment, and he couldn't understand. It was obviously when Shen Mo's plan to become emperor of the Four Continents was in full swing, why did this person just "encounter" him everywhere like nothing was wrong? Could it be that it was so easy to become emperor? Just sit on it with your clothes on?

"Are we going to do anything else?" This time it was Shen Mo's turn to be confused, and Qin Moyu realized that he had accidentally spoken out what was on his mind.

"...But don't you want to use the luck of the Four Continents to attack the seal? Don't you need to make a formation or something to gather the luck of the Four Continents?" Now that he had said it all, Qin Moyu simply gave up and said what was in his heart. question.

Although Shen Mo said before that becoming emperor of the four continents only requires the superficial surrender of the four continents. It is more like an alliance than a surrender, but even if he is a nominal emperor, it will be very troublesome no matter how he thinks about it!

"As long as the four continents admit their submission to the Southern Kingdom, then I will re-enthrone and become the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom."

Although the reality is definitely not as easy as Shen Mo said, things have to be prioritized. It is enough to leave the four continents emperor to his subordinates and Shen Sheng to do it. What is more important for Shen Mo now is to change Qin Moyu's sense of himself.

Shen Mo made two gestures in the air with his hands and explained: "Luck is the most elusive thing. If we really want everyone in Sanzhou to recognize me, it will take longer. It's better to let them surrender." Southern Kingdom, no matter whether anyone objects or not, the Southern Kingdom's luck will improve within a period of time, so that as long as I ascend the throne, this luck will automatically be attached to me."

"Sometimes the ceremony is not only for people to see, but also for heaven to see." Shen Mo said.

Qin Moyu nodded thoughtfully. He somewhat understood the trick of Shen Mo's plan.

It is much more difficult to make Three Continents surrender to one person than to surrender to one continent. Nanguo's years of management have allowed them to "turn" Three Continents into their own territory as quickly as possible - all they need is a Southern Flag - without his control, as long as Tiandao, who enforces the most rigid rules, will definitely think that the Southern Kingdom has really occupied the three continents, and then the Southern Kingdom will gather a lot of luck in a short period of time.

At this time, Shen Mo came out to pick peaches again and ascended the throne to become the highest authority in the Southern Kingdom. The fate of the Southern Kingdom naturally gathered on him.

"But this kind of luck can't accumulate for too long." Qin Moyu said.

"Yes." Shen Mo nodded approvingly, "Without actual rule, it won't take long for the luck gathered in the three continents to dissipate. But I don't need long-term luck, I only need one chance."

When he said the last sentence, his whole demeanor changed drastically.

Different from his calm and even gentle temperament when he was with Qin Moyu, at this moment, he seemed to have instantly transformed back into the Ninth Five Supreme Being in the magnificent hall, looking down at all the nations coming to court, and he was as dignified and confident as he should be.

Only then did Qin Moyu believe that Shen Mo had really been the emperor. That kind of self-confidence and arrogance that made people believe that he had the capital and pride, not everyone can have it.

Shen Mo's domineering attitude was as fleeting as Qin Moyu's smile that day, and the next second he returned to his peaceful and harmless appearance.

The doubts in his heart were answered, and Qin Moyu didn't like Shen Mo again.

Shen Mo took out a pastry in time before Qin Moyu could chase people away from the exit.

Qin Moyu's eyes unconsciously fell on the plate of pastries.

This is why Qin Moyu is sure that the encounter with Shen Mo in the past two weeks was intentional on Shen Mo's part - who wanders around the Royal Garden with a pastry on him?

Although he saw through that Shen Mo just wanted to make his presence felt in front of him, he had no choice but to control the timing very well every time Shen Mo appeared so that Qin Moyu would not feel the chill of being followed. After all, Qin Moyu knew that with Shen Mo's If you want to know where you are, you only need to scan it with your spiritual consciousness. In addition, Shen Mo brings all kinds of delicious food every time, and Qin Moyu's attitude softens slightly.

"Try it." Shen Mo stuffed the pastry and plate into Qin Moyu's hand.

Qin Moyu lowered his head and looked at the pastries. Well, the sales looked much better than the past few days.

In fact, he refused when Shen Mo offered him cakes at first, but Shen Mo was extremely persistent and wanted Qin Moyu to taste a piece no matter what. In order to prevent Shen Mo from sticking to him, Qin Moyu took a piece and ate it hastily. Although it tasted good, it was He still said he didn't like it.

Shen Mo asked him why he didn't like it. Qin Moyu casually said that the pastry didn't look good. Then he didn't see Shen Mo for two consecutive days. When Shen Mo showed up again, the pastry in his hand turned out to be much more exquisite.

It's not like Qin Moyu doesn't know that the place he lives in is called the palace. As a "distinguished guest" arranged by Shen Sheng himself, he has the best food, clothing, housing and transportation. If he didn't like it, he would have to be followed by at least two figures behind him. Maid and boy.

During these days of living in the palace, Qin Moyu often lamented the wealth of the Southern Kingdom royal family. The cakes they sent were not only delicious but also beautiful. So after thinking about it for a moment, he knew that the snacks Shen Mo sent to him did not improve the taste or appearance. In all likelihood, he did it himself.

But this is exactly what Qin Moyu can't understand.

"Why bother." Qin Moyu sighed softly. Instead of eating the cake as Shen Mo expected, he raised his head and stared at him calmly, "Actually, you don't need to feel guilty at all for plotting against me. After all, Master's death was not planned by you. , Ye Bai is your split soul. It would be troublesome for you not to merge. Besides, if it weren't for you, I would have fallen into the trap of heaven and killed Ye Bai. There would be no reason to let him come back to merge. "

After the anger and sadness were slowly healed by time, Qin Moyu became more rational than anyone else.

This is also why he will ease the relationship with Shen Mo later, just to figure it out.

But after thinking it over, Qin Moyu still doesn't want to have any contact with Shen Mo anymore. The mystery of his life experience has been solved. The next thing he has to do is to work hard to reach the tribulation stage in the long time to come, and then go to There is nothing else to think about but paying homage to them in the extremely cold place.

"I have almost packed everything." Qin Moyu returned the pastry to Shen Mo and said relieved, "I will leave Nanguo in the afternoon. Thank you for taking care of me these days, Shen Mo."

This is the first time Qin Moyu calls Shen Mo by his full name, and it may be the last time.

Shen Mo's hand holding the plate turned white because he used too much force. He would rather Qin Moyu hate himself for the rest of his life than Qin Moyu completely let go of him and become a stranger from now on.

Shen Mo smiled bitterly. He finally understood what it felt like to have his heart cut by a knife. It was indeed his own fault.

"Wait! You can't leave."

Shen Mo called out to Qin Moyu who turned around and was about to go back.

Qin Moyu turned to look at him with confusion.

"I came to you today...actually I want to tell you some news. I think you will be happy."

Shen Mo pursed his lips and said.

He originally wanted to tell Qin Moyu the news as a surprise, but now he had to use it to retain Qin Moyu.

"what news?"

Qin Moyu said noncommittally, not thinking that the news Shen Mo said would allow him to stay.

But what Qin Moyu never expected was that what Shen Mo said was——

"Your master is awake."

That's right, Master Xuanjing, who was handed over to Shen Sheng by Shen Mo, finally woke up under the continuous efforts of the imperial doctor.
