He gazed at her, his dark eyes seeming to stir with some hidden undercurrent.

  "You're clever, knowing it was me who brought you here." From start to finish, there wasn't a hint of awkwardness.

  Mochi lightly raised an eyebrow, her pale finger tips picking up a nameless fruit and taking a big bite. The fruit melted in her mouth, and as the sweet juice flowed into her body, it brought up a warm feeling, as if her cultivation was slightly stirred.

  She was taken aback, looking at the fruit in her hand with some surprise, but replied to Si Mo's words: "Among the people I know, only you have the ability to get me out of the princess's mansion."

  The corners of her mouth looked even more beautiful as she spoke again.

  Mu Qing Ge didn't pay attention to the characters in the pool again, but took another bite of the fresh fruit in her hand.

  The same feeling came again, Mu Qing's eyes narrowed and looked at him directly, asking: "What is this fruit?" As he spoke, he swept his gaze around, narrowing his eyes to ask: "And what place is this?"

  Everything here makes her feel a sense of unreality. As if this place is not part of the ordinary Linchuan continent.

  But if it's not Linchuan Continent, then which one would it be?

  Isn't this monster gentleman really capable of bringing himself into another space?

  Mo Qing's question didn't annoy Si Mo. His body submerged in the pool water, he replied: "The fruit in your hand is called a Water Spirit Fruit. The pulp of the fruit contains spiritual power, and for those below the Violet Realm, eating it can replenish lost spiritual energy. The other fruits before you also have the same effect. And this place... is considered my territory. Without my permission, no one can enter."

  Sai Miao's words left Mu Qingge completely stunned.

  In her heart, a very subtle feeling arose. It was as if she, an ordinary person, had accidentally entered the realm of the gods, filled with a sense of mystery and fantasy.

  "Don't be surprised, little songstress, you'll also be able to do so later." Suddenly, Si Mo's voice appeared beside her ear.

  Mu Qingge reflexively turned her head, but saw a magnified peerless handsome face in front of her eyes. Her clear eyes suddenly narrowed, this old demon, when did he come out from the pool and appear beside her dressed up?

  This shocking expression made Si Mo's mood much better.

  He stretched out his slender fingers with distinct joints and gently scratched the tip of Mu Qing's slightly upturned nose.

  A numbness spread from the tip of her nose, Mu Qing's hand suddenly flew up to cover her own nose, and a clear spark of anger ignited in the depths of her eyes.

  She felt like she had just been teased!

  How dare you! A sense of shame arose from her heart. She was always the one teasing others, when did anyone ever have the guts to tease her?

  Great! This guy in front of her has once again struck her weak spot.

  Bang!

  The fist seemed to have hit an iron plate, and the pain in his hand was transmitted, causing Mu Qingge to frown.

  "But you've hurt your hand?" The large palm wrapped tightly around the small one, and the pain in his fingers seemed to vanish instantly.

  Mu Qingge's face was cold, she pulled out her own hand, and her sharp eyes stared at someone's chest, as if she wanted to poke a few holes in it.

  Damn it! Is this guy's flesh made of diamond?

  "You brought me here for what? Just to watch you take a bath?" Mu Qing Ge said coldly.

  Moyin's words reminded Si Mo of his original intention and brought her along with him.

  Thinking of her drinking on horseback, and the expressions of the onlookers, his mood which had just turned for the better suddenly became stormy again.

  Suddenly, he had an urge to hide the little girl in front of him. This way, no one would be able to glimpse any of her beauty again.

  "Hey!" Not getting any response from Si Mo for a long time, Mu Qing Ge called out again.

  "See you later."

  "What?"

  Unfamiliar vocabulary left Mu Qing's face bewildered.

  A bewildered expression, puzzled eyes, made Si Mo's heart feel a wave of softness. Under her gaze, he even unknowingly softened his tone and became more patient. "Si Mo, my name."

  The old monster's name was Si Mo.

  Mo Qing's song was enchanting. But then he immediately became entangled again, what was his name, and what did it have to do with her? This suddenly told her again for what reason?

  "From now on, call me Mo." Si Mo spoke again.

  Mo Qing's mouth twitched slightly. She was startled by Si Mo's words and got goosebumps all over her body.

  "Hehe." She shifted a bit to the side, increasing the distance between them. Mu Qingge said fearlessly, "I think Mr. Yao is more suitable for you."

  "Why do you call me Mr.?" Si Mo frowned and asked. The demon could immediately tell that this little girl had called him "old immortal" after knowing the legends about him in Linchuan. But, sir, isn't this a way to address a teacher? He wasn't a teacher, after all.

  Her eyes were filled with a hint of grievance, as if forcing Mu Qing Ge to give a reasonable explanation.

  Uh...

  How does this translate?

  He scratched his head. After being entangled for a while, he finally turned on the nonsense mode: "Sir is a title of respect. You know that I couldn't cultivate before, Wu Bu Cheng, and could only hope to bloom in Wen. But, I seem to have no talent for Wen either, and I didn't learn anything from what you taught me. However, I am deeply admiring of your extensive knowledge. So, in my heart, only the person I most admire can be called Sir."

  This rumor, Mu Qing said without any guilt. Originally, even in the previous life, the two words "Mr." were not derogatory terms. It's just that there wasn't much respect either. In the development of the previous life, this title had already become a synonym for males, only indicating personal educational issues.

  So, um, Murasaki Shikibu was a very educated person!

  "Really?" Si Mo listened quietly to Mu Qing's explanation, feeling that it didn't seem very credible.

  "Of course!" Mu Qing said calmly.
