Qingtong bit his lower lip and turned his head away.
“Qingtong!” Mo Tianliao questioned impatiently. He grasped Qingtong’s chin and forced him to look at him. “Talk to me. What’s the matter?”
What did he mean by saying he didn’t want him to go? He always took his cat with him wherever he went. What was Qingtong thinking?
This abrupt action caused him to grimace in pain again. Qingtong just bit his lower lip without making a sound. His eyes were full of pain as he looked at Mo Tianliao quietly.
Mo Tianliao finally calmed down, then realized what he had done, and hurriedly pulled himself out.
The person underneath shook slightly, biting his pale thin lips until it bled out. Mo Tianliao’s heart twisted fiercely when he saw this, he reached out to hug him, but Qingtong dodged.
Qingtong curled up and slowly shrank into the corner. A pair of white furry ears on the top of his head pressed back tightly, just like a cat that had been beaten. He was usually very arrogant. But once you hit him, he would be afraid of you.
“Baby ……” Mo Tianliao was so distressed that he felt as if he was suffocating, he went over and forcibly took the person into his arms.
“Uhh ……” Qingtong pushed him away and turned his hands into sharp claws and scratched him hard.
No matter how Qingtong struggled, Mo Tianliao just held him tightly. He didn’t care if he was bleeding with scratches or bitten on the shoulder: “Don’t be afraid, Don’t be afraid. It was my fault just now. I am sorry. Good boy, don’t be afraid.” Gently stroking the smooth back, Mo Tianliao used a soothing voice over and over again to calm Qingtong down.
The Baby that he usually held in his arms in fear that he would be accidentally hurt, was now actually hurt by himself.
Why did it turn out like this? What exactly went wrong?
Mo Tianliao desperately wanted to keep asking Qingtong, but it obviously was not a good time to cross examine him. So he just kept quiet, not daring to say anymore. He just lay down with Qingtong in his arms, stroking him continuosly and coaxed him in a soft voice: “Baby, I’m not going anywhere. How can I live without you? Even if I’m going to ascend, I won’t leave you.”
Qingtong, who was biting him, maintained the posture of biting Mo Tianliao’s shoulder. The furry ears on top of his head straightened, and then drooped down pathetically one after the other.
“Qingtong, please just answer this, the reason you don’t want to dual-cultivate with me, it’s not because you hate to dual-cultivate with me, right?” Mo Tianliao stretched out his hand to touch the desolate furry ears. But he was afraid of scaring him, so he just stroked Qintong’s hair instead.
Qingtong pursed his lips and did not speak. His furry ears trembled and slowly turned pink.
Mo Tianliao wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. He couldn’t help but snuggle deeper and gently kissed the sweaty forehead: “I know.”
What do you know? Qingtong raised his hand in silence.
“Ow! Ow! Oww! It hurts! Don’t bite there, ahh….” Mo Tianliao was wrecked by Qingtong, who had finally calmed down.
Taishi, who was hanging on the pillar as a lampstand, said to the lampstand next to him, “Look, this is what you called self-inflicted punishment. Oh, forget it, you don’t know what self-inflicted punishment is.”
After getting a face full of scratches and teeth marks on his arms, Mo Tianliao finally succeeded in coaxing the cat. Looking at the fair face which was still pale with pain, Mo Tianliao felt distressed and went over to lick the thin lip back and forth.
The sap of everlasting wood was the best medicine for any wound. The small wound on the lip healed quickly. Mo Tianliao took the opportunity to kiss it again. He decided to check the injury below after Qingtong fell asleep.
Fortunately, due to the previous coating of Silk Tree nectar, the area was not torn, but just had some swelling. After coating the area with the sap of everlasting wood, the swelling decreased considerably. Mo Tianliao swallowed his saliva, and slowly closed the slender legs. He then took out a thin blanket from his wristband and covered him, and waved at the tortoise-shell lampstand.
“What?” Taishi turned into a big mouth and flew over.
“What are the side effects when one dual-cultivates more?” Mo Tianliao looked at the sleeping Qingtong with impenetrable eyes.
“Gah..?” Taishi twisted, “I gave you the best dual-cultivation technique, what bad effects would there be?! Using the Demon Beasts Dual-cultivation Method could improve your cultivation realm, repair an injured soul, harmonize the spirit and flesh, promote the relationship, and have children …… coughs, of course, you two will not have children.”
“Then why did Qingtong keep on resisting?” Mo Tianliao glared at Taishi, not wanting to bother with its nonsense.
“Maybe the kitten is worried that you won’t want him anymore when you ascend?” Taishi also began to talk nonsense.
“Okay, you can get lost.” Mo Tianliao rewarded it with a fireball and kicked Taishi under the throne. With the bloodline of the ancient Divine Demonic Beasts, Qingtong’s qualifications were better than his. Mo Tianliao with the body of the divine wood, still needed to enlighten his mind and cultivate his realm, while Qingtong could become an Immortal just by sleeping in a place with abundant spiritual energy!
What was wrong with him?
In another place, after Xuanji smashed the Sect Master of the Qingyun Sect with his turtle-shell, he fought with him.
Originally, the Soul Subjugating Horn was only useful for the demonic beasts who had signed a blood contract. Only the one made by Ding Hu was effective on all demonic beasts.
Ding Hu became a fool after his fight with Mo Tianliao and Qingtong. In order to conceal this information, Liuyun Sect previously distributed the Soul Subjugating Horns, stored in their storage hall to various factions, in the name of “For the benefits of fellow cultivators with the same pursuit”, and thereby maintaining the illusion that Ding Hu was still fine.
Therefore, the Qingyun Sect also had this kind of Soul Subjugating Horn now. The one who was blowing the horn was a cultivator of Yuan Ying level. He was quite powerful. When the horn sounded, Yanlie’s head burst into pain and Xuanji who was in mid-air combat, also had a moment of sluggishness.
Though the momentary pause was not very obvious and others could not see it, it was clearly visible to the Sect Master Yunzhu who was fighting him. He said: “Xuanji, you really are a demonic beast, ah!”
“It’s your mother!” Xuanji threw out a whip. The whip was pitch-black but glowing with an inner radiance. It was one of the “betrothal gifts” that Mo Tianliao had sent. With a flick, the powerful essence of vitality broke out in the air. In a flash, it reached Yunzhu’s face and made a big cut.
“Don’t be impulsive, Shishu!” Yanlie rushed up with his sword and sprinkled a handful of small nails towards the Sect Master of Qingyun Sect. The nails were filled with spiritual power. When it collided with the protective shield of Yunzhu, it burst open and crackled incessantly.
“For what?” Inadvertently, Xuanji snapped his fingers, deflecting a small flying nail, straight at the horn-blowing cultivator. The cultivator was caught unaware as he continued to blow the horn happily. The nail which latched to his mouth exploded with a bang.
“Ahhh–” The man screamed, he lost the Soul Subjugating Horn and rolled all over the ground in pain.
“It’s not suitable to stay here longer. Let’s leave quickly,” Yanlie said to Xuanji. Then he turned to the people of the Qingyun Sect and said in a loud voice, “We came with good intentions to send the remains of your dead. It’s really chilling that you should treat us like this. We will go back and report this matter to our Lord. We will definitely seek justice for today’s events!”
After saying that, Xuanji grabbed Yanlie, and with the speed of a Half-immortal cultivator, he instantly rushed out and released a big move. Monstrous spiritual waves came rushing in, instantly flooding the Qingyun Sect hall.
“Sect Master, do you want to pursue them?” The disciples of the Qingyun Sect asked the Sect Master Yunzhu.
“No need,” Yunzhu flicked his robe, snorted coldly, and narrowed his eyes slightly. “Go and send a message to the Sect Master of the Liuyun Sect, tell them that this Seat has determined that the elders in the Woyun Sect are also demonic beasts cultivators.”
That disciple did not dare dally and ask any more questions, he directly accepted the order and went to complete it.
While the Qingyun Sect’s messenger was heading towards the Liuyun Sect, even before he arrived, another message was sent to Liu Bi via the scouts of Hundred Rumours Pavilion.
Liu Bi looked at the inner disciple who kept apologizing for bumping into her and signaled that she was fine. But she couldn’t help clenching her hands hidden in her sleeves. When she returned back to her Peak, she slowly unclenched her fingers. In her palm lay a jade slip in the size of a nail. She looked at the flame sign on the jade slip and clenched her fingers again.
She didn’t expect that the power of Duantian Mo Palace to have penetrated so far that even the inner disciples of Liuyun Sect had already been bought.
In fact, Mo Tianliao had not directly bought them, but it was due to Chi Xiang’s previous handiwork. Chi Xiang, who had a great ambition, had planted an eye on every main sect of the Righteous Path. When he died, these forces were cheaply taken over by Mo Tianliao.
The wind was surging outside, and Mo Tianliao looked at the sky through a few transparent glazed tiles on the ceiling of the hall, and it seemed that the sky was about to change.
In the past, the cat liked to climb up and down, and he would be anxious when he could not see Mo Tianliao from the roof. Mo Tianliao installed some transparent tiles on the roof of the main hall, so that the cat could see him whenever he was basking in the sun.
Now that Mo Tianliao thought back about it, he realized that Qingtong’s attachment to him may be much deeper than his attachment to Qingtong.
Because it was not his usual time to sleep, and he had only taken a nap because he was tired, Qingtong woke up after a short sleep. He saw that Mo Tianliao was staring at the roof in a daze.
Slowly he reached out and caressed Mo Tianliiao’s hair with long slender fingers.
Mo Tianliao turned his head around, his eyes gazing back at Qingtong were all gentle, he went over and kissed Qingtong’s eyes: “Does it still hurt?”
Qingtong shook his head and yawned.
Mo Tianliao reached out and hugged Qingtong to his bosom, pointed to the light that was leaking from the ceiling and asked: “Remember that tile?”
Qingtong looked at the place where the finger was pointing to. It was the place where he often climbed up to bask in the sun. Sometimes the sun was just right, and he wanted to go up, but Mo Tianliao needed to stay in the cool hall to talk about things, so he usually climbed to the roof by himself.
But the roof was too high, so every time he went up, but couldn’t come back down, he would “meow” twice, so that Mo Tianliao could hear him from the hall. Regardless of what he was talking about, Mo Tianliao would drop the matters and immediately run over and jump to the roof and carry him down.
“Do you know why I spoil you so much?” Mo Tianliao wrapped a strand of long snow-colored hair around his fingertips, “Because I want you to be inseparable from me, only I can make you the best toys, the best grilled fish, the best scratching board, so no one could snatch you away from me.”
Qingtong listened quietly and gradually his eyes widened in surprise.
“So you see, didn’t I succeed?” Mo Tianliao smiled and pecked at his pale thin lips. “So Baby, tell me what you want. If you don’t tell me, how can I guess what it is that you want?”
Against Mo Tianliao’s chest, Qingtong’s slender fingers suddenly clenched, the thin inner shirt was scratched, he did not have enough time to retract the claws and few marks were made on the firm chest. He asked: “What if I say that I want you to stay in the mortal world and not become an Immortal?”
Qingtong thought Mo Tianliao would be surprised and hesitant. But he didn’t even frown. He just said, “Sure! Why not?”
