Chapter 339 The Lord Gives an Order

He sighed and looked ahead helplessly.

What can he do to her?

"Do whatever makes you happy."

What he meant was that as long as she was happy, she could do whatever she wanted. But he didn't know that this statement could be easily misunderstood because he said it in a flat tone, giving people a feeling that he didn't care.

Sure enough, Chujiu's anger, which had just subsided, rose again after hearing this. As soon as the anger came up, he was blinded by it. He grabbed his hair at the back of his head and glared at him: "Mo Xinglan, what do you mean?"

Mo Xinglan frowned slightly in pain, his eyes flashed with displeasure, he glanced at her lightly and said coldly: "Let go."

Chujiu was so frightened by his look that her body trembled. She pursed her lips and let go of his hair, then buried her head in his neck again with a wronged look.

The emotions that had not yet calmed down surged up again, and tears flowed out uncontrollably, falling on Mo Xinglan's lapel and soaking into his clothes.

Mo Xinglan felt regretful when he realized that she was crying because of him.

Comforting softly: "Don't cry, I can do anything you want me to do until you are happy."

Chujiu pursed her lips and tightened her grip around his neck, mumbling, "...Okay, you have to keep your word and don't cheat."

“……”When has he ever cheated?

Half an hour later, the two returned to the bedroom.

Chujiu didn't sleep well last night. He cried for a long time when he woke up. Now he has fallen asleep in Mo Xinglan's arms.

Mo Xinglan held the sleeping Chujiu on the edge of the bed, took off her shoes and coat, and undid her hair before gently putting her on the bed. He covered her with a blanket and kissed her fair forehead.

He stood up and walked out of the room, gave some instructions to Shi Yuan who was guarding outside the door, and then left the bedroom.

……

study.

Mo Xinglan called Fang Hao over and briefly told him about the sacrifice to the demon god.

Of course, he would not tell anyone else what he had not told Chujiu. As for the obsession of the demon god, he planned to put it aside for the time being.

After all, obsession cannot be resolved in a short time, and now I don’t even know where the obsession is, nor do I know what it is. It can be said that I have no clue at all.

He had a hunch that that obsession was far more troublesome than Mo Hengsong.

I didn’t think about it anymore and talked to Fang Hao about the arrangements for the next steps.

"How's things going in Caolian Village?"

"Old Man Qi...uh, Old Man Qi sent a message saying that everything is going smoothly and is just waiting for your orders." Fang Hao replied standing opposite him.

Mo Xinglan nodded. His eyes darkened slightly, and he remembered something: "Forget it, I'll go and see it myself."

It's not that he was worried that Elder Qi was not doing a good job, but he was worried that Elder Qi would hollow out Caolian Village in order to increase the strength of the army.

Half an hour later, Mo Xinglan and Fang Hao rode a pterosaur to Caolian Village and learned about the situation.

When he asked about the herbs, elixirs, and food in the village, as he expected, they were almost gone.

Training an army consumes a lot of resources, and he had already told Elder Qi that if there were not enough resources, he could ask Fang Hao. But this elder was stubborn and would rather the villagers live frugally than ask Fang Hao for resources.

If they didn't tell him, Fang Hao wouldn't be able to offer them. Demons providing resources to humans would hurt their self-esteem.

After Mo Xinglan learned about the situation, he immediately felt that they were simply stupid. He scolded the elders of the village council and only then did he let the two elders accept the help of the Demon Palace.

As for the matter of elixirs. Caolian Valley also has three alchemists, but they are only fifth-grade alchemists. Fifth-grade elixirs are more effective for cultivators at the Heavenly Spirit Realm and below. But Caolian Valley not only has cultivators at the Heavenly Spirit Realm and Earthly Spirit Realm, but also at the White Emperor Realm and even the Star Emperor Realm. The higher the level of cultivation, the higher the grade of elixir required.

He still needs to refine those high-grade pills.

Mo Xinglan handled affairs in Caolian Valley and did not return to the Demon Palace until evening.

The two elders wanted him to rest here and return to the Demon Palace tomorrow, but how could he agree to that? There was still an angry rabbit in the palace that hadn't been coaxed yet. He had been away for a day, and he didn't know how she was doing now, and whether she would be even angrier.

He guessed correctly, but his absence for a day was only one of the reasons.

Chujiu woke up and saw no one. Knowing that he was busy, he didn't pretend to be nice. He got up and dressed. He went out and saw Shiyuan and asked him where he was going.

Mo Xinglan had not told Shi Yuan that he would go to Caolian Village, he only told Shi Yuan that he was going to the study.

Chujiu learned that Mo Xinglan was in the study, and it was lunch time. Remembering that he was still angry, he hesitated for a moment and walked towards the study, intending to invite him to have lunch together.

But when he arrived at the door of the study, he was stopped by two guards standing outside.

"The study is a restricted area and no outsiders are allowed to enter."

“……” She clenched her hands tightly at her sides, suppressed her anger and said nothing.

Shi Yuan couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to complain: "How can you talk like that? How can Miss Chu be such an outsider? And didn't Miss Chu go in before?"

Unexpectedly, the guard remained unmoved, and said in a cold voice with a hint of disdain: "No one is allowed to enter without the Lord's order."

"You..." Shi Yuan clenched his fists and wanted to rush up and beat the two of them up, but was stopped by Chujiu.

"Forget it, let's go." Then he turned and left.

Every time she went in before, Xingxing followed her, so the two guards naturally didn't dare to stop her. She was a human, and humans and demons had a grudge against each other, so it was normal for this to happen.

But these two guards looked down on her too much. Their tone and eyes made her look like a lowly person. If she didn't want to cause trouble for Xingxing, if she couldn't beat him, she wouldn't have endured it and would have punched him a long time ago.

Now she was in a desperate situation and was being bullied by dogs. What could she do? She had to endure it. One day, she would beat those who looked down on her so hard that even their mothers wouldn't recognize them.

Mo Xinglan didn't come back for lunch, so the food was tasteless. Even though she was a real foodie, she didn't eat much.

After dinner, I walked around the palace for a while, but didn't see Mo Xinglan. I guessed that he might have gone to Caolian Village, so I wanted to go to Caolian Village.

Somehow, she felt that the people of Caolian Village were much more friendly than these demons. After all, they were all human beings, born in a foreign land. In this demonic land full of demons, being able to stay together always gave them a sense of closeness.

So she planned to leave the palace and go to Caolian Village with Shi Yuan, but was stopped by Shi Yuan.

"Miss Chu, the Lord has issued an order that you are not allowed to leave the palace without his personal escort."

Chujiu felt depressed after hearing her words and insisted on leaving.

As a result, he was stopped by the guards at the gate before he even walked out of the palace. The reason was the same as what Shi Yuan said.

Mo Xinglan gave them a death order. If they dared to let Chujiu go, they would be dead when he came back.

Chujiu couldn't possibly kill two lives just because he wanted to go out, so he had to go back with a gloomy face.

I originally planned to meditate and practice, but I couldn't calm down, so I had to give up.

I spent the whole afternoon either standing here or daydreaming there.
