Chapter 113: Does he want to suffocate her to death so that he can inherit the candy in her storage

After he said this, she remembered the red-gold bear that had been chasing her before.

She asked uncertainly, "Are you afraid of the evil spirit in the Demonic Forest?"

Mo Xinglan raised his eyes and looked in one direction, his eyes full of coldness: "More than that."

There is a strong demonic energy coming from that direction, something is about to come out.

Chujiu glanced at him, then looked in the direction he was looking at in confusion, but found nothing. He asked in confusion, "What are you looking at? Is there anything over there?"

He did not answer immediately, but looked up at the sky above the Demon Forest, as if he understood something.

He lowered his eyes to look at his palm, squeezed it lightly, raised his hand to gently cover one eye, and frowned.

"What's wrong?" Chujiu was a little worried, thinking that he was feeling unwell.

"This demon forest has a barrier, a barrier specifically designed to deal with demons." He put down his hand and paused, "...I can't get out in my current state."

He didn't tell her that what was worse was that he couldn't use the spiritual energy in his body for some unknown reason, and the demonic energy in his body was sealed.

Previously, the evil spirit tried to break through the seal in his body, but it only broke through the first one. And he had six seals on his body.

Even though he is surrounded by demonic energy now, he is actually unable to use it at all.

Chujiu was stunned after hearing this: "Is there no other way? You, you can't put away the evil spirit in your body? Or, open this barrier or something like that?"

She didn't want to stay in this dark place forever.

He looked down at her reluctant expression and said sarcastically, "Why, are you scared?"

She nodded, paused, and shook her head: "I'm not afraid with you here, but this place always gives people a bad feeling."

Mo Xinglan paused for a moment, then looked at her and answered her previous question seriously: "I can't control the evil spirit in my body. As for the barrier..."

He looked towards the place where the demonic energy was the strongest and said, "...it shouldn't take long before it's broken through."

"What do you mean?" Chujiu asked in confusion.

"Boom!"

As soon as she finished asking, the ground began to shake violently, accompanied by a loud noise. Rocks fell, as if the entire Demon Forest was about to split in half.

"What? What's going on?" she asked in horror.

In a panic, she subconsciously hugged Mo Xinglan who was standing face to face with her.

"..." Mo Xinglan's body froze, and after coming to his senses, he hugged her tightly. He staggered to a big tree and sat down, then took her into his arms, and pressed her head against his chest with one hand to protect her head.

Chujiu hid in his arms naturally, as if she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

The shaking of the ground became quieter and quieter, but the demonic energy in the surrounding air became stronger and stronger, as if some huge monster was about to appear.

A young man in green clothes in the main residence of the secret realm was horrified when he saw the movements of the Demon Forest through the mysterious mirror.

“Palace Lord! This, this… Didn’t you say that it would take some time for Demon Lord Yu You to break the seal? How come it suddenly…” Ji Fansong, who was standing next to the Palace Lord, looked at the scene in the mysterious mirror in disbelief.

The Palace Master looked at the black mirror with a serious expression. It was obvious that he had not expected that the Demon Lord Yu You would break the seal ahead of time.

Why choose the time when the entrance to the secret realm is open?

This is the time when there are the most people in the secret realm, and most of them are young talents of the younger generation. How could they be Yu You's opponent?

For Yu You, killing them would be easier than crushing an ant.

Although there are people of the older generation in the secret realm, their strength is still no match for Yu You.

Not to mention them, even he is no match for Yu You.

But no matter what, he couldn't just watch Yu You slaughter these young men.

Then he looked at Ji Fansong and said as if to tell him about his last wishes: "Fansong, I watched you grow up. Now that the Demon Lord has broken through the seal, the secret realm formation has sensed it and has activated itself. If I die, you will serve as the master of the secret realm's main mansion. You must do your best to save my disciples."

"Palace Master..." Ji Fansong was stunned for a moment and wanted to say something, but in the end he could only nod with reluctance in his eyes.

He was picked up by the palace lord from a monster's lair. At that time, he was just a one-month-old baby.

After picking him up, the mansion owner took care of him day and night, acting like both a father and a mother to him, teaching him how to read and write, and how to behave...

The master of the palace often told him that saving a life was better than building a seven-story pagoda. He told him that he should save those who should be saved and have a clear conscience.

So he chose to study medicine, he wanted to save those who needed to be saved.

Now the mansion lord who raised him is leaving him and may never come back. He doesn't know what words to use to express his emotions at the moment.

Is this what it feels like to say goodbye to a loved one?

Looking at the mansion master's figure that was about to disappear, he couldn't help but burst into tears: "Dad!"

He finally shouted out the word that he should have shouted out long ago.

"!" The palace lord was stunned for a moment, his eyes slightly red as he smiled with relief and waved to him.

He finally heard the word he had always wanted to hear.

"My child is waiting for you to come back!"

The mansion lord disappeared before he had finished speaking.

He knelt on the ground, praying that the master of the house would return safely.

If he could, he would like to help, but he has not had good aptitude for cultivation since he was young. Not only can he not help, but he will become a burden. This is also one of the reasons why he chose to study medicine.

In the Demonic Forest over here, the ground shaking has stopped, and the surroundings have returned to silence again.

Chujiu listened to Mo Xinglan's regular heartbeat and realized that she was being held tightly in his arms, and she was sitting on his lap.

Although it was not the first time he hugged her, after she reacted, she suddenly felt a little overwhelmed and was so nervous for the first time.

What should she do? What should she do? Should she show some expression or say something?

What happened? Why did she feel a little breathless? Could it be that she was so nervous that she had difficulty breathing?

No, no, we can't go on like this. We must do something, or say something, to ease the tense atmosphere.

She opened her mouth to speak, but found that she couldn't open her mouth!

Only then did she realize that he had pressed her entire face against his chest. She said she had difficulty breathing, and so that was the reason.

"..."

Did he want to suffocate her to death so that he could inherit the candy in her storage ring?

She moved her head, trying to get out of his clutches.

"What's wrong?" Mo Xinglan asked, looking around vigilantly.

"You... let go... a little. I... can't... breathe... anymore." She said with difficulty.

"!" He paused and quickly released his hand that was pressing on her head.

"Huh..." Chujiu, who regained air, took a greedy breath.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she regained the air, a strong pressure suddenly hit her. It was as if something was holding her in its hand, making it difficult for her to breathe.
