Chapter 54: Nine Shadows, I'm So Hot

  Murong Zi quickly threw that Water Monkey Grass into the small stream in space and said, "You can open your eyes now."

  However, Jiuying opened his eyes and grabbed Murong Zi's wrist. Murong Zi's face turned cold, asking: "Jiuying, what do you want to do?"

  ……

  Jiuying's arms wrapped around Murong Zi's fragrant shoulders, his large hands tightly adhered to her back, the warmth of his palms seeping through her wet clothes to her skin.

  The two of them stood like this in the woods, looking unusually ambiguous.

  "Do you want to be rude to our master?" Murong Zi stared tightly at Jiuying's deep eyes, without desire, without obscenity, calmly unthinkable.

  Jiuying's lips were tightly pursed, but the force in his hand increased, causing Murong Zi to bump into his chest, which was as solid as steel. How did he train to achieve this?

  "Jiuying, what are you going to do?" She didn't believe that this cold and silent Shadow Guard would take a liking to her.

  Without the obstruction of the water, Jiuying could clearly feel Muyong Zi's body temperature, her soft physique. Thinking about what he said, a hint of embarrassment flashed across her face, but her hands remained tightly attached to his back as usual.

  "You..." Suddenly, Murong Zi felt a warm current flowing over her body, slowly warming up her icy cold body that had been soaked in water for too long. Although she wasn't cold now, if this fragile body of hers remained chilled all the time, it would definitely lead to trouble.

  Then, a white mist enveloped them, not only did Murong Zi's body warm up, but even her clothes dried up, as if she had never been in the water. The mist swirled around the forest, like a dream, like an illusion.

  Murong Zi raised her head to look at the man in front of her, his chiseled features were handsome beyond compare, his strength was formidable, and he was cold and silent. A drop of water that had not yet dried fell from his delicate chin onto her body.

  He can actually use his internal power to dry clothes directly, what kind of strength does he have? When I was in the seventh stage at that time, I absolutely couldn't do it. The master said that there are nine stages in total after the acquired stage, and there are higher levels above, but only if she breaks through to the innate stage will he say.

  However, she passed away without breaking through the seventh rank. I didn't know what level came after the ninth rank, but now she's definitely surpassed the power of a postnatal ninth-rank cultivator. At just around twenty years old, she was incredibly formidable.

  Being gazed at by Murong Zi like that, Jiu Ying suddenly felt a dizziness, this pair of grey-purple eyes seemed to be able to absorb his soul, making him unable to move his gaze away.

  When the white mist on their bodies dispersed, the powerful internal force was still wandering in Murong Zi's body. Murong Zi felt his body burning and couldn't help but say: "Jiuying, I'm hot..."

  Jiuying only then realized he had lost his composure and hastily pushed away Murong Zi, as if he had touched a hot potato.

  "Thank you." She felt the sticky moisture on her clothes disappear, and her body also felt much more comfortable due to the flow of internal energy. Murong Zi sincerely thanked Jiu Ying.

  Muyong Zi, who had always been cold and distant, thanked him so sincerely that Jiuying's face felt a little hot. He muttered, "Making sure the young lady feels comfortable is what I should do." After saying this, he suddenly left.

  Murong Zi's mouth corners slightly hooked up, wasn't it said that protecting her safety was what he should do? How come the words have changed now.

  After Mu Rong Zi walked out refreshed and clean, she saw a group of people waiting for her. "I'm fine now, you all go ahead."

  "Great!" Seeing Murong Zi was safe and sound, they felt relieved and continued on to the barbecue place.

  "Drinks! Drinks..."

  "Beer, hurry up with the beer..."

  "Come on, brother, here's your chicken leg..."

  "Let go of my leg with your trotter first..."

  A group of people are as happy as wild horses set free.

  "Mommy has been underwater for so long, she's exhausted and lost a lot of energy. Let's fill her tummy first!" Zi Miao said as he handed over a golden roasted corn. However, his adorable face was tightly scrunched up, and when Mommy was in danger, he couldn't help at all.

  "Xiao Mo, Mommy worried about you." Murong Zi stroked the top of Xiao Mo's head to comfort her.

  "Xiao Mo can't swim, if Mommy encounters such danger again in the future, Xiao Mo won't be able to protect Mommy." The clever boy since childhood was a bit arrogant, always thinking he was great in every aspect, only now did he discover that there was actually something he couldn't do.

  Murong Zi pulled Zi An and said: "Little fool, it's Mommy who should protect Little An! Mommy can take care of herself."

  "No way, I want to protect Mommy too." Zi Miao rushed into Chu Zi Miao's arms.

  Murong Zi felt a bit helpless. Such an obstinate child, really didn't know which family member he took after? What kind of parents could raise such a child?

  At this time, Zi Mian's words echoed in Murong Zi's ears, "And Mommy can't cook, can't do housework, how can she take care of herself?"

  Murong Zi's eyes flashed with a hint of embarrassment, she was actually despised by her son, but when it came to household chores, she really wasn't as good as Zi Miao.

  "Miss, our boss is looking for you." At this time, a man in a suit stepped forward and said to Murong Zi.

  Murong Zi looked at him with a puzzled expression, she didn't know many people in this place, who was looking for her?

  "Our boss said it's absolutely necessary for you to come over, Miss. Can you go with me?" he continued to ask.

  What is this person going to do, go or not go, Murong Zi was hesitating.
