When they went back to Qingning Palace, Mo Tianliao was severely punished. Holding his head, he buried his scratch filled face under the quilt, leaving only his ass hanging outside, giving off a “even if you want to kill me or dismember me, you are at liberty to do as you wish” look.
Qingtong leaned against the headboard and stretched out his slender hand, ready to lick it clean as usual. He suddenly stopped. Looking at his white jade-like hands, he saw that there was sawdust under the nails, but he was currently furless. He could not lick them clean.
A big head leaned closer and squeezed between Qingtong’s chest and elbow. “Is your hand dirty? Let’s take a bath.”
Qingtong looked down at him, opened his mouth, and bit him.
“Ow! Pain, pain, pain!” Mo Tianliao’s ear was bitten, but he persisted in carrying his beloved cat to the bath.
Mo Tianliao sat in the bath with the naked beauty in his arms, gently rubbing him while growing a small bud from his fingertip at the same time for Qingtong to play with.
Qingtong held out his slender fingers and tapped at the little green bud. “Can you make it bloom?”
“The Everlasting Tree doesn’t bloom under normal circumstances,” Mo Tianliao rested his chin on a round shoulder and gently rubbed against the beautiful neck. “But I can.”
“Show me!” Qingtong poked his hand curiously.
“Mmm, it’s not that easy.” Mo Tianliao clasped Qingtong’s waist with both hands and hugged him. “It will require some external force.”
“Hmm?” Qingtong was puzzled. What external force?
Mo Tianliao gently nibbled at a pale jade-like ear, licked it carefully, then his big hands slipped under the water and started some naughty teasing.
“Oh…” Qingtong moved a bit, trying to rescue his ear, then he was suddenly touched in a certain place and all of his strength left him with a little gasp.
The touch of their slick skin had made Mo Tianliao’s mouth parched with thirst, he licked a trail from his ear, lapping all the water drops on his cheeks, and finally reached the soft thin lips.
“Baby, look, it’s blooming,” Mo Tianliao whispered in Qingtong’s ear.
Qingtong turned to look and saw that a small blossom had just appeared on the green bud at Mo Tianliao’s fingertip, then, it promptly opened. Its shape was simple, and, while not very beautiful, its petals were like ink so it looked quite remarkable.
“The Everlasting Tree burns year after year, so this inky flower never gets to live, that’s why it never has a chance to bloom,” Mo Tianliao said softly, his voice somewhat breathy, while slowly lifting the round and soft buttocks.
“So… ah…” Qingtong was caught off guard and suddenly invaded, the pain of the sudden intrusion made him arch his neck.
Mo Tianliao bit at the vibrating Adam’s apple. “Master incited this tree to blossom, so now he must let it release its seed.”
“Oh…” Qingtong could not speak, he wanted to lift his hand to beat him, but as he sat with his back to Mo Tianliao, his hand could not reach.
Inside his Dantian, the small green flowering bud wrapped around the kitten that was trying to escape, and blossomed over and over.
The next day, Qingtong failed to get up.
Mo Tianliao got out of bed feeling refreshed, tucked in the slumbering cat, and left silently.
“Shidi, where are you going?” Meng Hu, who had come to greet Master, bumped into him.
“Growl!” The little leopard on top of his head also greeted him.
“Master is still sleeping, don’t bother him,” Mo Tianliao said, dragging the two fools away. “I’m going to go find Hua Qing.”
“What a coincidence, I’m going too.” Meng Hu brightened, he took the little leopard off his head and pressed him into Mo Tianliao’s arms. “You hold him for a while, my neck is sore.”
Mo Tianliao looked at the little leopard in his arms. He was much heavier than Master, no wonder Meng Hu’s neck hurt.
In the flowering valley, Hua Qing was staring at the contents of a jade bowl, his eyes practically dripping blood.
After refining the Wenyu fruit, it turned gelatinous, then the dissolved Soul Condensation Pills were mixed in. It really worked. It was just that… the Wenyu fruit he had just obtained was all gone now…
“Hua shixiong truly is deserving of the title of best alchemist in the Righteous Path!” Mo Tianliao smiled and reached for the jade bowl, but it was snatched away by Hua Qing.
“No!” Hua Qing finally reacted, “You said you’d give me the Wenyu fruit, but in the end I had to use it to make something for you, you scammer!”
Mo Tianliao pressed a fist to his lips and gently coughed. “I sincerely wanted to give shixiong the Wenyu fruit, but since shixiong selflessly refined it into medicine for me, it would be ungracious of me not to accept the kindness. So in order to pay back shixiong, here…”
Hua Qing’s eyes lit up. “Do you still have some Wenyu fruit?”
“I don’t,” Mo Tianliao said flatly, but then he continued, “However, there is this, I hope shixiong won’t disdain it…”
As he spoke, he took out a handful of white jade pits from his storage bracelet. Normally, Qingtong ate the Wenyu fruit after it was cut into small strips by Mo Tianliao, so the pits and stems were discarded. Yet they were also heavenly materials and earthly treasures, so Mo Tianliao had not thrown them away.
“No disdain, there’s no disdain here!” Hua Qing held the handful of fruit pits eagerly. The pits and pulp of the Wenyu fruit were the same, they were both heavenly materials and earthly treasures, both could be used to refine Nascent Soul Pills. With such a large amount, he would be able to make a lot.
Mo Tianliao took the opportunity to snatch the jade bowl and also grab a jade bottle for himself.
“Hua Qing, are you still going to the Mo Palace?” Meng Hu patted the extremely excited Measter Hua.
Hua Qing staggered under the paws of the big tiger and waved his hand impatiently. “No way, no way!” He wanted to make some pills, where could he find the time to go see some Mo Palace? Lord Duantian had been a craftsman, he had no interest at all in Duantian’s Mo Palace.
“Then give me the token.” Meng Hu kept patting him.
Hua Qing took out the token and threw it to Meng Hu. Then he drove the three of them out like flies, sealed his workroom, and informed the whole sect not to disturb him unless it was urgent.
“Da-shixiong is also going?” Mo Tianliao raised his eyebrows and looked at Meng Hu.
“Since everyone knows that I am Master’s spiritual pet, it is only natural for me to accompany him.” Meng Hu scratched his head. For his own safety, it would be announced that he had made a blood pact with Master.
The day of departure soon came, all the people from the sects would take their own flying ship.
Qingtong was going, Yu Li said that this time he would not go not matter what, Bai Luo said that the grass in the demonic region did not taste good and Zi Mo said he would not go when he saw that Bai Luo was staying. In the end, Woyun Sect would only send people from Woqing Abode.
Xuanji who did not want to go was kicked by the Sect Leader. “Do you not see that Qingyun Sect are sending two people? What if they bully Tongtong? ”
Therefore, Xuanji had to reluctantly accompany them.
Qingtong looked at the Woyun Sect’s flying ship in disgust, he had no intentions to board.
It was a long journey to Duantian’s Mo Palace, it would be very tedious to live in that dreary little boat. He turned and looked at Mo Tianliao.
Only Mo Tianliao could understand the meaning in those cold and beautiful eyes. That commanding gaze that was also a little bit like that of a spoiled child, made him tingle all over, it made him want to promise anything at all. Immediately, he took out the Crystal Palace. “Master, let’s take this.”
“The Mo Palace is full of treasures”
