Qi Xiaoyu stared at Chu Mo for a long while before she smiled and nodded.
"The Blood Demon Patriarch should be here soon. I have a feeling he'll be able to find our exact location!" Chu Mo said.
Qi Xiaoyu nodded. "His combat arts are indeed far beyond the world's understanding."
"That's why we need to make some preparations," Chu Mo said.
"He'll sense it …" Qi Xiaoyu sighed faintly. "I think it's a waste of effort."
"Trust me." Chu Mo smiled and didn't say anything else. He simply sat there and spread out his consciousness, channeling the surrounding mountains and rivers!
This was Chu Mo's first time using a true feng shui combat art to set up such a huge formation. Moreover, it was all done with his consciousness.
Qi Xiaoyu couldn't even understand what Chu Mo was doing. She couldn't even sense any energy fluctuations. She simply stared at the young man who was still young but no longer as immature as he'd once been.
Two hours, four hours, six hours … Just like that, time passed.
Chu Mo still sat there, not moving an inch.
Qi Xiaoyu still couldn't sense anything out of the ordinary, but she could sense something strange about Chu Mo.
The blood qi on Chu Mo's body seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, continuously rising. In contrast, his face was getting paler and paler. The sky was darkening and darkness was about to engulf the Endless Forest. However, Qi Xiaoyu could still sense Chu Mo's exhaustion through his closed eyes.
She didn't dare make a sound. She could only watch Chu Mo with heartache and worry.
She hadn't dared to imagine the future. Few people suffered as much as she did. It was as if she'd been betrothed before she was even born to someone she'd never met, much less had feelings for. Her situation was several times worse than a betrothal!
Someone was already waiting for her to grow up before she was even born. Not only would they take away her chastity, but they would also take her life!
What was even more frightening was that she found out about this matter not long after she was born.
Very few people could imagine what kind of torture and pain this was. Everyone was bound to die, but very few people would clearly know when their death would come. Every day he was alive was like a countdown to hope.
The elves were not allowed to marry with outsiders, and there were no elves of the opposite sex. That was why Qi Xiaoyu had never known what love was since she was a child. She had only read about love between a man and a woman in some books. But those were other people's stories and had nothing to do with her. Until her doppelganger entered the human world and met that ignorant young man.
At that time … she seemed to have met him in a forest.
The young boy and girl met each other and developed a good impression of each other. Just like that, they fell in love without any precaution. Outsiders couldn't even understand why their feelings for each other were so deep in such a short period of time. It's like they never recognize love at first sight.
Qi Xiaoyu never regretted that she'd caused her doppelganger to collapse in order to save him, and even caused great damage to her main body.
After she'd recovered her memories, she often recalled the moment they'd met in the Illusion God Realm. His expression had been one of surprise and joy, and his gaze had been full of love.
Unfortunately, I couldn't feel his emotions at the time, and I couldn't understand why he was like that.
Later, I understood, but I'd already lost him!
I'm a dead man. What right do I have to have a relationship that won't be blessed? Why should I drag others down with me?
Therefore, even though Qi Xiaoyu had learned that Chu Mo wasn't dead and had ascended to the spirit realm, she had no intention of searching for Chu Mo. Do we have to be together just because we like each other? Do we have to meet each other? That will only cause him more pain! And I'll die full of regret.
Who would've thought he'd still come looking for me!
Qi Xiaoyu looked at Chu Mo's increasingly stiff expression. It was obvious that he was enduring pain, and the softest part of her heart was touched. She could empathize with his feelings.
She also understood that if she were to throw caution to the wind and push him out of this hopeless situation, it would truly hurt him.
Love meant being together.
She understood now!
Pfft!
Chu Mo spat out a mouthful of blood, his body swaying unsteadily.
Qi Xiaoyu stared at Chu Mo in shock. She knelt beside Chu Mo and supported Chu Mo's body. "What's … what's wrong?"
Blood still dripping from the corner of his mouth, Chu Mo chuckled at Qi Xiaoyu. "I'm fine. I just used up a bit of energy. Don't worry, I'm fine now!"
Just used up a bit of energy? Qi Xiaoyu didn't believe it. But looking at Chu Mo's state, she couldn't bring herself to say anything.
"Xiaoyu, you've lived in this forest all your life. You've probably seen wild beasts hunt, haven't you?" Chu Mo changed the subject in order to divert Qi Xiaoyu's attention. In fact, he had indeed suffered a serious injury. There was no other reason for it. He'd forcibly used a feng shui art … a technique that shouldn't have been used by someone at his level!
He'd even drained all the power from his five-colored dao platform!
When he'd finally finished setting it up, he'd damaged his foundation.
But Chu Mo didn't want to talk about it!
As a man, if he couldn't even protect the woman he liked, what right did he have to say he liked her?
It was only right for him to do all this!
Qi Xiaoyu was very worried about Chu Mo's condition, but she cleverly nodded along with Chu Mo's words. "Of course I have."
"Hmm, can those ferocious beasts succeed every time?" Chu Mo smiled. Looking at Qi Xiaoyu's pensive expression, Chu Mo didn't wait for her reply. "Absolutely not! Some beasts are born carnivores, while others are born herbivores. It seems that the carnivores are countless times stronger than the herbivores. But the carnivores may not always be able to kill the herbivores. Do you understand? Nothing is destined by the heavens! "
Qi Xiaoyu looked at Chu Mo. She wanted to say that the Blood Demon Ancestor wasn't just a carnivore … he was a true leviathan! But she didn't say it in the end. The Blood Demon Ancestor was a huge shadow in the hearts of the entire fairy race. He was powerful, bloodthirsty, and undefeatable!
But in Chu Mo's heart, he didn't have that kind of image!
Even though Chu Mo knew that the Blood Demon Ancestor's true form was an unbelievably terrifying being, he didn't feel the same reverence!
"In this world, he can only be a living being at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm. Even if he has the cultivation of an Emperor Lord, in this place, he can only unleash power close to that of a Refined God." Chu Mo looked at Qi Xiaoyu. "You didn't dare ascend because you were afraid that he'd appear at the critical moment and completely interrupt your tribulation, right?"
Qi Xiaoyu nodded. "He would never allow me to ascend. He knows my cultivation like the back of his hand. " After a moment's hesitation, Qi Xiaoyu revealed a shocking secret. "There's someone among the elves who's been bribed by him. I don't know who that person is, but I'm sure he'll be able to find out who he is. I don't know who it is, but I've never been able to hide my movements from him. Otherwise … he wouldn't have … "
Qi Xiaoyu's eyes shone with deep regret. She recalled the calamity that had befallen Chu Mo's family!
Although the Blood Demon Ancestor's clone had been killed by Heavenly Punishment, he'd arrogantly sent word to Qi Xiaoyu.
It was a warning!
