Chapter 831 - 921 Usurping the magpie’s nest?

Chen Mo realized he was truly daring beyond belief.

He even dared to steal a kiss from Zuoqiu Yiren.

Stealing a kiss was one thing.

But he actually hadn’t been discovered by her.

Seeing Zuoqiu Yiren suddenly open her eyes, Chen Mo’s eyes widened in shock, and he quickly pulled away and stood up, putting some distance between them.

Zuoqiu Yiren wasn’t sleeping deeply, since they were outside, not at the Shenxiao Sect, where accidents could happen at any time.

Therefore, any little disturbance in the surroundings would rouse her instantly.

So, when Chen Mo kissed her, she sensed it immediately.

The moment she opened her eyes and saw that face so close to hers, Zuoqiu Yiren was somewhat dazed.

She found it hard to believe.

Chen Mo actually dared to kiss her.

How did he dare?

Because of this, she didn’t react immediately.

Once Chen Mo pulled away from her, she gradually came back to her senses, her eyes nearly spitting fire.

Her first kiss was just gone like that.

And it was taken by someone who was more than seven hundred years younger than her and indeed her disciple.

Zuoqiu Yiren stood up instantly, her beautiful eyes glaring daggers at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo felt his scalp tingle and quickly pleaded, "Sister Yiren, I was wrong, I didn’t mean to, I wasn’t myself, I was possessed, I... Sister Yiren, please no..."

Soon, Chen Mo’s wailing echoed in the cave.

This time, Zuoqiu Yiren showed no mercy, giving Chen Mo a thorough beating, even inflicting internal injuries.

After roughly a quarter of an hour, Zuoqiu Yiren finally stopped, looking at the curled-up figure of Chen Mo in the cave corner, holding his head and not daring to look at her. A trace of complexity flashed in her eyes.

After realizing she’d been kissed, her heart was filled with shyness, anger, and tension, but surprisingly no disgust. Her face alternated between red and white, and her mind involuntarily recalled the sensation of their lips touching.

However, the time was too short, and the only feeling left in Zuoqiu Yiren’s mind was a tingling numbness, with nothing else.

Seeing that Zuoqiu Yiren had stopped, Chen Mo tentatively lowered his hands from his head, sneaking a glance at Zuoqiu Yiren, mumbling, "Si... Sister Yiren, I truly know I was wrong, I won’t dare again next time."

"You dare to have a next time?" Zuoqiu Yiren glared at him with a cold gaze.

Scared, Chen Mo quickly hugged his head again, fearing another beating, quickly saying, "I don’t dare, I don’t dare... hiss..."

His excessive movement tugged at the wound on his face.

Even though his physical body was so robust, he still ended up being beaten like this by Zuoqiu Yiren, showing how angry she was.

But Chen Mo also knew she had held back, otherwise, he wouldn’t even be able to move now.

"Remember what you said, if you dare to mess around again, I... won’t let you off lightly," Zuoqiu Yiren warned Chen Mo.

She seemed to have forgotten that the first time Chen Mo hugged her, she had said the same words.

The result was a second hug, a third...

"I won’t dare, I definitely won’t dare." Chen Mo hurriedly promised, and as he spoke, he coughed, even coughing up a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, Zuoqiu Yiren, although a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, still said he deserved it.

Chen Mo quickly changed the subject, while rubbing his injuries, he said, "Sister Yiren, what happened to me just now? What happened?"

In her heart, Zuoqiu Yiren was still somewhat indignant, so when Chen Mo asked, she did not answer, but said, "Ask the woman in your sea of consciousness."

"Sister Yiren, I truly know I was wrong, please calm down, if necessary, I’ll let you beat me up again," Chen Mo gritted his teeth, speaking in a deep voice.

"Hmph." Zuoqiu Yiren snorted coldly, ignoring Chen Mo.

Helpless, Chen Mo had to contact Qiao Yushi.

Only to find out she was actually asleep.

Chen Mo quickly activated the Soul-Stabilizing Bead, to see if it could awaken Qiao Yushi.

After a few attempts, Qiao Yushi gradually awoke, and the moment she woke up, as a Soul Body, she shivered instinctively, drifting out from Chen Mo’s sea of consciousness, saying, "What happened just now? Why is it so cold?"

Well, Chen Mo was planning to ask her.

Turns out seeing her like this, she didn’t even know herself.

Chen Mo shifted his gaze to Zuoqiu Yiren.

Ignoring Chen Mo, Zuoqiu Yiren said to Qiao Yushi, "Stop pretending, speak up."

At these words, both Qiao Yushi and Chen Mo were stunned, the former said, "What are you talking about?"

"That Ice Coffin is yours; the extreme coldness at the pond’s bottom earlier emanated from the Ice Coffin. Moreover, I can’t store that Ice Coffin in Space Ornaments, which suggests there’s something alive in it. Don’t say you don’t know," Zuoqiu Yiren said, her voice slightly cold, as she looked into Qiao Yushi’s eyes.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo raised an eyebrow, recalling the moment at the pond’s bottom when he touched the Ice Coffin, indeed an icy chill seeped out from it, invading his body, irresistible, and then he lost consciousness, falling into sleep.

Qiao Yushi was stunned after hearing this, she indeed knew nothing, that Ice Coffin only contained her physical body, she said, "Are you suspecting I did something?"

"What else? Song Jun who hid your Ice Coffin didn’t have that ability," said Zuoqiu Yiren.

Being misunderstood didn’t feel good, Qiao Yushi’s alluring face sank, and then she said urgently, "If I really did something, you would have known during the Soul Search, how could this situation still arise?"

"Maybe you have some means to prevent Soul Searching, hiding that part of the memory," Zuoqiu Yiren replied.

It’s not impossible.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yushi became anxious.

Not because her secret was uncovered, but because she was misunderstood and her explanation wasn’t believed, she said, "What would it take for you to believe? Also, if I had really done something, how could Song Jun have transported the Ice Coffin from the Demon Abyss to the Wangu Pond at that time."

This, indeed, was a point of doubt.

Chen Mo darted his gaze between the two women.

Zuoqiu Yiren deeply looked at Qiao Yushi for a while, then turned and walked out of the cave.

Chen Mo and Qiao Yushi hurriedly followed.

The Ice Coffin had been brought out from Wangu Pond by Zuoqiu Yiren, placed in a mountain hollow.

This mountain hollow lacked Celestial Spring Water, the Ice Coffin had only been there for a short while.

The originally lush and green hollow was directly frozen over, the nearby flowers and trees had turned into ice sculptures.

As the three approached, they felt a bone-chilling cold freezing their souls.

Qiao Yushi couldn’t endure it, so she quickly returned to Chen Mo’s sea of consciousness.

Without so much as a glance at Chen Mo, Zuoqiu Yiren cast an Energy Shield over him, then flew towards the Ice Coffin.

Chen Mo decisively followed.

"If you are innocent, then your physical body in the Ice Coffin has surely been possessed by someone else," Zuoqiu Yiren said to Qiao Yushi in Chen Mo’s sea of consciousness.
