Chapter 244

The column was broken into pieces and darted at the two of them. Duanmu Xi was held in his arms, not hurt at all.

Feeling the familiar warm embrace, Duanmu Xi was instantly calm. Duanmu Xi felt his scent and cracked a big smile. Her Snow came.

Xuanyuan Mo also held the woman in his arms and felt retrospective fear. At the thought of the previous scene, his heart almost stopped beating. Thankfully, he came in the nick of time. Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable. He tightened his arms around her again and again as if this was the only way for him to feel the woman in his arms.

Bai He nearby was relieved to see Duanmu Xi rescued. Just as well she was fine. Otherwise, he wouldn’t forgive himself for his lifetime.

Bai He looked at the man in black who was like a deity, his eyes glistening with a shimmer of surprise. What an excellent man! Was he Xi’s husband? They were well-matched indeed. Somehow, Bai He suddenly felt a bit sad.

After the rock dropped, Duanmu Xi raised her head from Xuanyuan Mo’s arms. Looking at the handsome face she missed so much, Duanmu Xi couldn’t help standing on tiptoe and kissing Xuanyuan Mo on his lips gently. Her kiss carried extreme affection.

The softness and scent coming from the lips made Xuanyuan Mo’s amber eyes darken abruptly. He couldn’t bear to let her stand on tiptoe. Xuanyuan Mo directly carried Duanmu Xi into his arms so that she could kiss him more easily.

Duanmu Xi wrapped her legs around Xuanyuan Mo’s waist and also put her arms around his neck. Her kiss slowly became licking. She traced his perfect lip line with her soft tongue bit by bit.

Xuanyuan Mo’s sanity was devoured by the soft and slippery tongue. His amber eyes were also burning with rage. He was no more satisfied with the soft licking. Xuanyuan Mo finally took over Duanmu Xi’s action and twined his tongue around hers.

Xuanyuan Mo’s kiss was a bit violent rather than gentle, but the kiss just touched Duanmu Xi, because she could feel his passion, wildness and affection for her. Duanmu Xi tightened her arms around his neck and also responded to him passionately.

With a passionate kiss, they expressed how much they missed and loved each other.

In a daze, Bai He looked at them kissing. He never knew that an aloof woman like her could be so passionate. He never knew that a smart woman like her could put on such a cute look. Yet, all of these didn’t belong to him. Her everything, including passion and adoration, didn’t belong to him. He could only be an onlooker. For the moment, he realized that he could only be an outsider like now, staring at them from afar forever.

Feeling their breath getting more and more rapid, Xuanyuan Mo let go of Duanmu Xi reluctantly and bit her red and swollen lips gaspingly.

Duanmu Xi curled her lips and put her arms around Xuanyuan Mo’s neck, whispering to his ears, “Snow, I miss you so much!”

Hearing Duanmu Xi’s gentle words, Xuanyuan Mo felt as if a rush of warm current flowed into his heart. Xuanyuan Mo held Duanmu Xi in his arms and raised his right hand. Then, it fell on Duanmu Xi’s butt gently, “If you dare to run about again, I must punish you!” His voice was husky and affectionate.

Duanmu Xi looked at Xuanyuan Mo and smiled, “You won’t.” Her coquettish voice was full of certainty.

Xuanyuan Mo stared at Duanmu Xi’s stunning face, his eyes flickering, “If you do it again, let’s see if I will punish you!” Xuanyuan Mo lowered his head to lick the bite mark he had left.

Duanmu Xi looked at Xuanyuan Mo in a daze, feeling his exclusive gentleness.

“Ah…” A sudden scream broke the affectionate atmosphere.

Duanmu Xi looked over there only to see the vampire bats surrounding Bai He again. There were so many vampire bats that Duanmu Xi couldn’t see how Bai He was doing now. Thinking of the scream, Duanmu Xi felt a bit anxious and looked at Xuanyuan Mo, “Snow…”

Staring at the imploring in Duanmu Xi’s eyes, Xuanyuan Mo felt soft-hearted and a bit jealous. He turned to look at the man besieged by the vampire bats. His amber eyes flickered. As he waved his arm randomly, the vampire bats instantly turned into ashes and dispersed in the air.

Duanmu Xi looked at the shocking scene and held Xuanyuan Mo’s neck with excitement. She kissed him on the face, “Snow, you’re so awesome!”

Xuanyuan Mo subconsciously curled his lips. He was the beast god. How could he not defeat these low-class beasts?

Bai He looked at Xuanyuan Mo in shock and wondered how high Xuanyuan Mo’s cultivation level was. He had accepted the elves’ legacy, but he was still way inferior to Xuanyuan Mo.

Seeing Bai He covering his left arm, Xuanyuan Mo frowned and struggled to get off Xuanyuan Mo. She walked to Bai He and said with concern, “What’s wrong with your hand? Let me take a look.” Then, Duanmu Xi wanted to reach Bai He’s arm.

Xuanyuan Mo looked at Duanmu Xi’s worried face, his eyes slightly flickering. He darted a cold glance at Bai He.

Feeling a rush of coldness coming at him, Bai He looked at Xuanyuan Mo. Their gazes met in the air but nothing else happened. Bai He looked at Duanmu Xi’s hand reaching out for him and dodged it gently. He shook his head and said, “I’m fine. Just some minor injuries.”

Bai He was unwilling to show her the injuries. Yet, she didn’t force him. She only took out the Styptic Powder and a clean handkerchief from her arms and passed them to Bai He.

“Thank you.” This time, Bai He didn’t reject the offer. He took the Styptic Powder and the handkerchief from Duanmu Xi before walking to the column aside.

Duanmu Xi looked at Bai He’s back and knitted her brows. What was wrong with Bai He? Why was he acting so weirdly?

Looking at Duanmu Xi stare blankly in front of him, Xuanyuan Mo walked to her, took out an oil paper bag from his arms and passed it to her.

Duanmu Xi looked at the oil paper bag in Xuanyuan Mo’s hand and took it in confusion, “What’s this?”

Duanmu Xi opened the oil paper bag gently and looked at the desserts on the oil paper, saying in delight, “Osmanthus cake!”

“How did you know I hadn’t eaten anything?” Duanmu Xi said while stuffing the osmanthus cake into her mouth.

Seeing Duanmu Xi wolfing down the cake, Xuanyuan Mo felt a bit sorry and deeply self-condemned.

“I’ve been to the Wuyou Palace.” He saw the unfinished dishes on the table and believed that she didn’t dare to eat the dishes in the Wuyou Palace. Thinking that she hadn’t eaten for so many days, he felt rather pitiful. Hence, he went to buy her favorite osmanthus cake before coming to the grotto.

Bai He, who was dealing with his injuries behind the column, looked at Duanmu Xi gobble the cake up with affection and self-accusation. These days, he had stayed with her but he didn’t realize that she hadn’t eaten anything. He felt a deep sense of self-accusation.

Bai He lowered his eyelids, picked up the Styptic Powder given by Duanmu Xi and poured the powder on the badly mutilated injury. The tearing pain of the injury made him break out in a cold sweat. After the pain was eased, Bai He felt a cool sensation. He subconsciously slightly curled his lips. Her medicine still worked so well.

“Take it easy.” Xuanyuan Mo patted Duanmu Xi’s back gently while taking out his waterbag and passing it to Duanmu Xi.

Duanmu Xi took the waterbag and drank two mouthfuls of water. She looked at Xuanyuan Mo and cracked a smile, “I’m full.”

Xuanyuan Mo’s amber eyes flickered. He put away the water bag and wiped Duanmu Xi’s mouth.

Looking at Xuanyuan Mo’s gentle eyes, Duanmu Xi was dumbfounded again. His cold appearance was enough to attract a lot of women. Now that he became so gentle, he was even more attractive.

Duanmu Xi stroked Xuanyuan Mo’s handsome face and muttered, “Snow, you’re so beautiful!”

Xuanyuan was taken aback to hear that and then said seriously, “You should call me handsome!”

Duanmu Xi instantly came to her senses and blushed. She withdrew her hand quickly and felt a bit mad at herself. Usually, she was good at controlling herself. How come she just lost control in face of Snow?

“By the way, did you have the purple crystal I gave you?” Duanmu Xi suddenly thought of something and looked at Xuanyuan Mo.

Xuanyuan Mo was slightly dazed to hear that and shattered the waistband, exposing the purple crystal, “Are you talking about this?”

Duanmu Xi looked at the purple crystal and nodded with excitement, “This is it!” She was worried that without the Purple Hell Stone, she couldn’t ask the eight elders to help rescue her third master. Now, with the Purple Hell Stone, she should be able to make it. Snow was really her savior.

Seeing Duanmu Xi’s excited appearance, Xuanyuan Mo took off the purple crystal necklace wrapped on his wrist.

Duanmu Xi looked at the purple crystal necklace in Xuanyuan Mo’s hand, her eyes flickering. She said in a teasing tone, “Snow, you take the purple crystal with you closely. Did you always take it out when you missed me?”

Duanmu Xi’s teasing voice made Xuanyuan Mo blush and look away gently.

Seeing Xuanyuan Mo’s blushing face, Duanmu Xi recalled that he often flushed when they just met. Unexpectedly, it had been so long but he still got shy easily as before.

“Snow, you’re so cute!” Duanmu Xi said and bent to kiss Xuanyuan Mo on his lips.

Xuanyuan Mo blushed even more and stared at Duanmu Xi. Cute? No way was he cute. This must be her deliberate act.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Mo pulled a long face, Duanmu Xi was not frightened. Instead, she laughed more happily, “Take me with you.” Then, Duanmu Xi leaned her neck over.

Seeing Duanmu Xi’s fair-skinned and slender neck, Xuanyuan Mo was infatuated with her and gently put the necklace on Duanmu Xi’s neck.

The moment the Purple Hell Stone returned to Duanmu Xi’s neck, Duanmu Xi felt a rush of familiar heat and touched the Purple Hell Stone that had cooled down. Duanmu Xi thought with determination, “Third Master, I will definitely help you out.”
