Morning Star

Chapter 123 Are you sure you're not doing this to see Zhuohua sooner?

He paused and glared at him, "Jiu'er Jiu'er, it makes me feel uncomfortable just hearing that."

He was not angry but found it funny. He said with a smile: "Jiu'er is not feeling well? Where is it that you are not feeling well? It just so happens that I know a little bit about medicine. How about I take a look at Jiu'er?"

"Eh..." She hugged her shoulders and shook her body, with a look of disgust on her face, "Stay away from me, and don't call me Jiuer, it's creepy."

The two words that came out of his mouth were full of sarcasm and ridicule.

"..."

He didn't say anything else, but the smile on his face did not fade.

The two were silent for a while. Chujiu thought about the Demon Lord and murmured worriedly, "I wonder how my second sister and the others are doing."

Mo Xinglan pondered for a moment, and seeing that she looked worried, he thought about the words to comfort her.

But just as the words were about to come out of her throat, she suddenly smiled and muttered to herself, "But with Zhuohua here, he is so powerful, we don't have to worry about my second sister. As for brother Yashan, I wonder if he has reunited with my second sister and the others."

“…” He frowned unhappily after hearing that.

Thinking of the scene in the psychedelic forest, his face became gloomy.

The two searched for a whole night, and on the ninth day of the second day, after yawning so many times, they finally arrived at the demon-sealing formation that the Demon Lord had set up among the rocks.

Chujiu stared at the red mass in front of him in confusion and reached out to poke it: "What is this?"

"Snapped!"

Mo Xinglan narrowed his eyes slightly, slapped away her hand that was reaching out to touch the red mist, and said coldly: "Don't you want your hand anymore?"

"..." She pouted and rubbed the back of her hand that was red from his slap.

"It's the Demon Sealing Formation." Mo Xinglan glanced at her and answered her question.

"Demon Sealing Formation?"

She suddenly thought of Zhuohua and squinted her eyes to look inside the formation.

After watching carefully for a long time, my eyes were sore before I saw Chu Furong leaning against Gao Yashan's arms with her eyes closed in the layers of red smoke. Zhuo Hua, who was hanging his head, also seemed to be covered in wounds. There seemed to be several young cultivators as well.

She was so excited that she wanted to raise her finger, but when she thought of what he had just said, she put it down and tugged at his sleeve instead: "Mo Xinglan, Mo Xinglan, look, are they my second sister and the others in there?"

"..."

He glanced at the battle formation, then looked at the collar of her clothes that had been torn out of shape. He pushed her hands away and straightened his clothes: "It's them."

After receiving his affirmation, Chujiu was worried but also shocked: "This formation is so powerful that it can even trap Zhuohua."

Judging from the situation inside, the second sister must be injured. They must have encountered the Demon Lord, but I don't know how the second sister is now.

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

Mo Xinglan frowned slightly after hearing her words, his face gloomy and he didn't say anything.

Chujiu was concentrating on the situation in the formation. Thinking of something, he raised his hand and tugged at his sleeve again: "Hey, Mo Xinglan, you know the formation, can you show off your magical power and break this demon-sealing formation?"

"..."Mo Xinglan pulled his clothes back impatiently.

She tore his clothes off again. Couldn't she be more honest and not touch his clothes?

"Say something." After not hearing his answer for a long while, she turned her head to look.

Mo Xinglan snorted coldly: "They won't die if they stay in there, why are you panicking?"

"Tsk, how can you talk like that?" Chujiu frowned, "What if something unexpected happens inside? And you saw it, my second sister fainted. Even Zhuohua was injured, and maybe Brother Yashan was too."

He was stunned for a moment. When he heard her mention Zhuohua, he felt annoyed and wanted to chop something.

He turned his face away and pulled the sleeve back from her hand, sneering: "Chujiu, do you really think of yourself as the third daughter of the Chu family? They are not your relatives, why do you worry about them so much?"

She was stunned by what he said and stared at him for a while in confusion.

Although she was angry after hearing what he said, the situation was special now, so she sighed and patiently persuaded him: "We have been through so much together, so we are friends for life and death, right? It is normal to stick up for your friends, right?"

What on earth is this evil-hearted monster thinking? Why is he still making trouble at this time? Or does he really not consider us as friends?

She really couldn't understand him most of the time.

"Friends?" He said sarcastically, "You are the only one who considers them friends."

"..."Chujiu was almost choked by his words.

The black-hearted monster is really heartless.

But there was no other way, she needed his help. After thinking for a while, she let out a long sigh: "I treat them as friends."

"But that's not the point. The point is to break the formation."

She patiently explained to him: "Think about it, the Demon King is out there killing people everywhere. If we run into him, we might end up fighting. Are you sure you can beat him?"

"..." He remained silent and just stared at her with a cold face.

Chujiu swallowed his saliva, feeling a little cold on his back, but still continued to speak bravely: "Really? If you break the formation, Zhuohua and the others will be able to come out. If a fight really breaks out, Zhuohua can always take on two of them at once, right? Our chances of winning will be greater, right?"

"..." He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if trying to see some other expressions on her face.

After a long while, he asked back: "That being said, are you sure you're not doing this to see Zhuohua sooner?"

"Ah?" She was confused. What's going on?

She gestured in confusion: "You, how did you go from what I said... to... not... thinking... that... are these two related?"

They have nothing in common at all.

However, Mo Xinglan pursed his lips and said nothing, staring at her with a gloomy face.

She quickly shut up and thought about whether she had said something wrong. But after thinking for a long time, she still didn't think she had said anything wrong.

After thinking for a while, she raised her hand and said weakly: "Did I say something wrong again to make you unhappy?"

Seeing her cautious look, he remained silent for a moment, took a deep breath, grabbed the raised hand and said coldly: "If I go in, what about you?"

Chujiu was startled by his sudden action: "Me? Of course I'm guarding outside."

"What if Yu You comes?"

"If they come, I will of course stop them... stop them... me..." She opened her mouth, but seeing his warning and sinister expression, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth, thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "Just, just run away?"

He sneered, "Miss Chu has always had a bad memory. I'm afraid you'll forget what I said before, so I'll say it again. If you don't know your own situation and strength, you won't even know how you died in the end. Remember it well this time."

She swallowed, shuddered at the thought of bad memories, and timidly replied, "Okay, okay."
