Chapter 256 She is like an elf encountered in the forest

Although it was unpleasant, Chujiu forgot about it soon after. He started talking nonstop in front of Mo Xinglan all the way, teasing Chi Feng from time to time, and was happy and relaxed.

After walking for a while, we didn't encounter any monsters or demons. According to Mo Xinglan, since this place is relatively close to the barrier space, the beasts are afraid of accidentally breaking in and not being able to get out, so there are very few of them.

"Xingxing, if we encounter monsters or demons later, I will be the one to take action. You just need to stand aside and watch."

She patted her chest with great confidence and said, "Don't worry, I will never let them get close to you."

He raised his eyebrows: "Then I'll trouble you, Miss Third."

Chujiu almost fell down when he felt his footing become unstable. He nodded with a fake smile: "Haha, of course, of course."

Is it really okay to joke seriously?

As he was walking, he encountered a demon beast. Fortunately, this place was relatively outlying, and most of the demon beasts were of relatively low level, so Chujiu could still deal with them. After all, there was still the Red Phoenix.

The eighth-level monster is also a tough challenge for the little monster.

As for Mo Xinglan, he really did as Chujiu said. He found a tree, leaned against it and watched from afar.

After that, they walked for a few more days, encountering more and more monsters and beasts. There were many times when Chujiu was unable to deal with them alone. Fortunately, Chi Feng helped him at the critical moment.

After a few days of cooperation, the man and the beast had a better understanding of each other. Sometimes Mo Xinglan couldn't stand it and would slap Chi Feng away. Chi Feng had no choice but to follow behind pitifully.

One day, the two men and one beast saw a small river.

Girls all like to be clean. Although they usually use cleaning techniques, they are not as refreshing as water after all.

Chujiu rushed over as if he had seen money: "The source of life, I finally see you."

However, she was howling loudly in front, and when she ran to the river, she suddenly remembered something, and she stopped her foot and turned her head to look at Mo Xinglan who was following behind her: "Xingxing, are there any monsters or beasts in here?"

There are many monsters in the Demon Realm so she had better be careful and not jump into a river just because it is dangerous.

Mo Xinglan came to the river and looked down: "The water is very shallow and clear. There won't be any demons."

What demon would be stupid enough to live in such shallow water?

"That's great."

As she was about to take off her shoes and step in, she suddenly stopped and asked, "Is this water drinkable?"

Once she stepped on it, the water became undrinkable. Who would drink foot washing water?

"Yes." He nodded.

After hearing this, she took out the kettle and filled it with water, then scooped it up with her hands and drank a few sips. After Mo Xinglan and Chi Feng finished drinking, they took off their shoes and ran downstream and stepped in.

The afternoon sunshine in late autumn is particularly warm, and the gurgling river is filled with a petite and lovely touch of light green, making people reluctant to leave.

The cool water soaked her clothes. The light fabric stuck to her skin, showing off her petite body that had not yet fully grown.

She scooped up a handful of water, raised her hand and let the water slide down her white arms.

At this moment, the golden sunlight gently caresses the girl's body, casting a halo on her.

The hair accessories on her head sparkled in the light, like a few fluttering butterflies landed on it.

She was like an elf encountered by chance in the woods, breathtaking and beautiful beyond words.

Mo Xinglan, who was squatting by the river, was stunned and forgot about the blood-stained sleeves he was washing.

"Chirp~" Chi Feng, who was standing beside him, flapped his wings excitedly and flew towards Chu Jiu.

However, just as he flew up, he was grabbed by a hand and thrown far behind.

"Chiu——" A scream came from Chi Feng behind.

Mo Xinglan lowered his head with a gloomy expression and continued washing his sleeves.

Chujiu in the water heard Chifeng's scream and looked over in confusion, but he didn't see Chifeng's shadow. He thought he might have offended the evil spirit and got beaten up.

Then she stared at Mo Xinglan, who was washing his sleeves by the river, and sighed in her heart.

He is worthy of being the son of Bai Yue'er, the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm, and Mo Lingfan, a member of the cultivation family of the Mo family. Even though his parents passed away early, he can still exude elegance and nobility from the bones.

Suddenly, she smiled, bent down and scooped two palms of water, then hid her hands behind her back and came in front of him and looked down at him: "Xingxing, I want to show you something."

Mo Xinglan was stunned for a moment, then looked up at her in confusion: "What..."

Before he could finish his words, a pair of cold, wet hands placed on his face.

His body froze, and he stared at her blankly for a long time without saying a word.

"Hey, is it cool?" Chujiu was still in a playful mood and asked deliberately.

"..."

He pursed his lips and didn't reply.

Chujiu blinked twice, his eyes falling on the thin streams of water sliding from his chin to his fair neck. The water slid down his neck and soaked his lapels, and some of it slid down to his chest.

Mo Xinglan lowered his eyes and glanced at her wet sleeves. He knew without thinking that her body must be wet as well.

He swallowed, raised his eyes to look at her again, and found that she was looking down at his chest.

It would have been better if she didn't look. As soon as she looked, he suddenly felt the drops of cool water sliding on his chest, which made him feel itchy and uncomfortable, and his heartbeat quickened.

He frowned and took away her hands that were holding his face. He slowly stood up and said calmly, "Have you had enough fun? Let's go."

After saying that, he turned around and walked forward on his own, leaving Chujiu standing there in a daze.

After walking a few steps, he stopped, raised his hand to cover his pounding heart, and held on to a tree beside him with his other hand.

My heart was beating so fast, I felt like I would die if I continued beating like this.

Just the thought of her soaking wet body in my mind makes my heart beat so fast.

Feeling his heart pounding under his palm, he suddenly felt so useless.

To her, it was just a normal playful act, but his heart started beating wildly and his mind was full of her.

Chujiu came to his senses in the water and got on the shore. After drying off the water on his body, he looked up and found that he was leaning down to hold on to a tree, with one hand covering his heart. He thought he was in pain, so he quickly walked over to support him and asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"!"

Her sudden appearance startled Mo Xinglan, who had just calmed down. He reflexively took a step back and stared at her in a daze.

Just looking at her made his heart beat fast again.

Chujiu was also shocked by his reaction, and then he didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "No, am I a female monster who eats people? Why are you reacting so strongly?"

Mo Xinglan: “…”

He was stunned and lowered his eyes.

I feel lonely and ridiculous.

It turns out that he was the only one who cared from the beginning to the end. He was the only one who was deeply involved in it like a fool and couldn't extricate himself.

And she followed him probably because of her purpose, the purpose that would allow her to go back.

But even though he guessed this, he was too mean to let her be separated from him, and even felt a little happy when he learned that she was willing to follow him.

He is the one person I can't live without.
