Mo Tianliao, who was asking his cat in a low voice if he had been bullied, suddenly became angry. Ming Yan was a man who had lived for an unknown period of time and had seen many things. He had profound cultivation and a wide range of knowledge. It seemed that he saw that Qingtong was not a cat, but a Divine White Tiger and maybe got an idea to fight him for it. Mo Tianliao couldn’t help but sneer: “Supreme Demon Lord is joking. I only have this one and I can’t afford to lose it.”
Qingtong frowned slightly, looked at Ming Yan, and shook his head subtly.
Ming Yan stared at them for a moment, then slowly lowered his eyes and sat up straight: “Where’s the mirror you were supposed to make for me?”
Ah? Mo Tianliao was stunned. He remembered that more than 400 years ago, Ming Yan had asked him to forge a mirror that could glimpse the past and the future. What a fantasy! Even an Immortal couldn’t see the past and the future, let alone a spiritual tool. But Ming Yan’s reward was very rich and he wanted to make a fortune from it, so he went to read the archives to research.
According to the ancient books, only divine artifacts could understand Heaven and earth, but it did not clarify whether it could see the past and the future.
Therefore, Mo Tianliao had the idea of making a divine artifact. He began collecting all kinds of materials and searched for the wisdom of heaven and earth. Immersed in the research on how to make a divine artifact, he completely forgot about Ming Yan’s order.
“I had some ideas in the beginning, unfortunately, I died halfway through the process and now I don’t know where the materials I collected are.” Mo Tianliao talked nonsense without blinking.
“Then continue to do it,” Ming Yan threw a jade slip to him. “I will help you get back the immortal cities in the hands of Xing Yao and Shi Di, plus the ones I am in charge of.”
Mo Tianliao put the slip away unceremoniously, thinking that the reason Ming Yan had suddenly made a friendly gesture to him and sent him an invitation was to actually ask for the mirror.
However, since he just touched his cat’s paw and tried to rob him of his cat, now he didn’t intend to do a good job with the mirror.
After a few polite words, Mo Tianliao left with the cat in his arms.
Ming Yan looked at the two retreating figures, and sighed softly.
“Awoooooo!” The gray and white wolf cub chasing a ball, came running from the back hall. The floor in the hall was very smooth and the ball rolled over and hit the seat. The wolf cub couldn’t stop his momentum and hit his head with a thump.
Ming Yan lowered his head and looked at the little cub who had fallen on his butt, with legs sticking up to the sky.
The wolf cub got up, shook his head and climbed up on his throne. His face was ferocious but his wagging tail showed his happiness.
Ming Yan slowly stretched out a well-defined finger and tapped on the wolf pup’s head and said: “If I’m no longer here, how will you survive?”
The little wolf tilted his head and licked his finger.
Slowly, news spread amongst the Righteous and Demon Paths. It was said that the Woyun Sect was a sect where demonic beasts were cultivating.
In fact, there has always been a rumor that in Taixuan continent, there must have been some place that was quietly sheltering and protecting these demonic beasts. After all, during the Immortal-Demon War eight thousand years ago, there were more than these demonic beasts that survived the war.
Now the news spread by Chi Xiang slowly started to play a role, and people began to question Woyun Sect.
After listening to Tianlang’s statement about successfully raising demonic beasts last time, the two other sects went back to their own sects and tried it out . But they found that the demonic beasts who didn’t make a blood contract, only got wilder and wilder. Only then they realized that they were cheated by the Woyun Sect.
“That’s right, the Woyun Sect is raising some demonic beasts that are not contracted, so what, don’t you all have uncontracted beasts in your clans as well? It’s ridiculous.” Yanlie, who had taken Yunsong’s body to the Qingyun Sect, was detained by the Sect Master of the Qingyun Sect for questioning. After hearing this, he couldn’t help but sneer.
“That’s not what I said,” said the Sect Master of Qingyun sect. He stroked his beard, and a disciple quietly picked up the Soul Subjugating Horn. “I heard that the eldest disciple of Elder Qingtong of your sect is a demonic beast, but I don’t know if the eldest disciple of the Sect Master is also a demonic beast.”
Xuanji, who came with Yanlie, got angry immediately. He took out his turtle shell and smashed it on the head of the Sect Master of Qingyun Sect: “If you want to fight, just say it!”
The Sect Master Tianlang ordered the “Mountain Protection Array” sent by Mo Tianliao, to be activated immediately to protect the clan’s territories.
The mountain protection array of the Duantian Mo palace was called the “Taishi Heaven Protection Array”. Its function was to repel all the people or things that got close to it.
The “Mountain Protection Array” given to the Woyun Sect was something like a spider web. Anyone who tried to sneak in without going through the main gate would be stuck on the array, like a fly caught on a spider web. The person from within the array, guarding the territories only needed to take a sword and stab from inside to finish off the person stuck on the web.
“It is not the worst case scenario yet. Besides, it is just demonic beasts. It is not a divine weapon that could destroy heaven and the earth. Although there are many greedy people, it would not be the reason why they would besiege Woyun Sect. After all, demonic beasts can be bought with money.” Mo Tianliao looked through the news from Hundred Rumors Pavilion and slowly stroked the cat on his lap to comfort him.
The snow colored kitten rolled over, jumped down and changed into his human shape. He then took the jade slip from Mo Tianliao’s hand, and poured his divine sense into it to see: “Are there demonic beasts near Woyun Sect?”
Mo Tianliao nodded. They should be the demonic beasts who were in hiding. After hearing that the Woyun Sect was a sect of demonic beasts, they had come to seek refuge.
At present, only the pervasive Hundred Rumors Pavilion knew this information. Others should have no knowledge about it. Mo Tianliao had strictly forbidden the pavilion from selling this information.
These days, the forces that originally belonged to the Duantian Mo Palace came to celebrate one after another. Mo Tianliao was so busy that his feet could not even touch the ground. He had a rare free time that day: “Well, Baby, don’t think so much. What could go wrong when I am here?” With that, he took Qingtong in his arms and rubbed the frowning brows trying to relax it.
“Okay,” Qingtong pursed his lips, “The mirror Ming Yan asked you to make…”
“I can’t do it,” Mo Tianliao frowned slightly. He was a little unhappy that Qingtong was so interested in Ming Yan’s affairs. However, thinking that it was a cat’s curiosity, he tried to patiently explain to him, “The so-called mirror that can see the past and the future, only a divine artifact may be able to do it, not to mention I don’t know what arrays to use to connect the mirror with the past and the present. That is, I need to connect the wisdom of heaven and earth into the divine artifact, Where would I find such information?”
When he found Taishi, he was like a blind cat who met a dead mouse. Where could he find a second divine artifact that could connect heaven and earth? What’s more, why should he make a divine artifact for Ming Yan?
“But…” Qingtong raised his eyes, still wanting to say something, but in the end, he swallowed down the words.
“Okay, baby, let’s not talk about this anymore,” Mo Tianliao said with a smile, placing a light peck on those inviting pale lips. “It’s not easy to get free time these days. We should do something interesting.”
“What?” Qingtong glanced at him and saw that Mo Tianliao was grinning. He always felt that it was not a good thing.
“Of course…” Mo Tianliao suddenly turned over and put Qingtong on the throne.
“Ummn…” before Qingtong could react, his lips were blocked. His soul had been completely repaired and kissing no longer had any healing effect. The only thing he felt now was the throbbing feeling of being with his beloved.
The snow colored shawl was torn off and spread out on the floor under the throne. The door of the main hall closed automatically, blocking the dazzling sunshine from outside, leaving only a quiet room.
“Wait, no…!” The slightly cold Silk Tree Nectar applied into him, woke Qingtong up, he turned his head to evade Mo Tianliao’s kiss and tried to push him away.
“What’s the matter? Are you not feeling well?” Mo Tianliao paused the finger he had just inserted in and looked down at Qingtong. Looking at Qintong’s expression, he felt as if icy water had been poured on his head that reached till the bottom of his heart.
That pair of light colored glazed eyes, there was no sign of desire that should have been there at this moment, but instead it was filled with panic!
Ever since they went to the Demon Dao Supreme Conference, they had not practiced dual cultivation again. Previously, Qingtong had refused with the reason saying they needed to save their energy for the conference. But now? Qingtong was obviously unwilling!
He suddenly remembered what he had said when they first dual cultivated: “Your divine soul is escaping. The only way to save you is to dual cultivate with me… If you are unwilling…” If you are unwilling, If you are unwilling.. They were just polite words… In his opinion, Qingtong and him had already exchanged feelings.
Even if there were some twists and turns and it felt uncomfortable for a while, it would be fine afterwards. He never thought that Qingtong was unwilling.
“You don’t want to dual cultivate?” Mo Tianliao propped up on his elbows and asked in a numb quiet voice.
“En..” Qingtong answered slowly, pushed him and tried to sit up.
“So you just did it before, just to repair your soul?” Mo Tianliao whispered and was stunned for a moment. He caught the man who was trying to escape and directly pushed himself in without warning.
“Ahh –” Qingtong suddenly cried out in pain, but the person on top of him ignored the cries and became more fierce, “Ohhh… it hurts…”
“Why?” Mo Tianliao questioned him as he thrusted inside him. Qingtong was not behaving normally these days.
He didn’t believe that a person who was willing to tear his soul for him, had no feelings for him, but the feelings might not be what he thought or expected them to be. His eyes gradually turned red. He was not a good man. What he wanted must remain his! Even the Supreme Demon Lord would not be able to take it away!
“Oh…” Qingtong’s face had turned pale with pain, and a tear slowly slid down the corner of his eyes. “I… Don’t want to… Let you go…”
Mo Tianliao’s frantic movements suddenly stopped and he looked down at Qingtong: “Where could I go?”

Taishi: Go to the mountainside and to the seaside. There are a group of little Taishi’s there.
Carpenter: Shut up!
Taishi: Master, allow me to say, if you extort a confession like this, you will be scratched like a field..
Carpenter in field work: I would love that…
