Cangjian Villa Forbidden Area.
The forbidden area at the bottom of the lake hides an Ancient Tower, and the dilapidation of the Ancient Tower has exceeded their imagination. Su Peijiu frowned and stood at the entrance without moving forward.
"Should we go in or not?" She turned to ask Qi Mo, a completely instinctive action. By the time she realized it, her face alternated between pale and flushed.
Qi Mo faintly curled his lips, seemingly pleased. This silly girl subconsciously acknowledged his presence but stubbornly refused to admit it. It didn't matter; he had plenty of ways to make her willingly accept...
However, first, he needed to get rid of these chaotic people...
"Go in. Isn't that why we came here? Are you afraid?" Qi Mo stood aside, looking at the unfathomable darkness of the door, his expression calm and unresponsive.
Su Peijiu tightened her grip for a moment before relaxing. Then she nodded, "Let's go in."
"Wait."
"What now?" Her Water Eyes tightened, and then she impatiently looked at Qi Mo, startled and confused about what they were supposed to do?!
"If we go in together, we'll be too conspicuous. My master means we should split up," Leyang spoke up from the side. Since it was what his master wanted, as a subordinate, he had to help fulfill that.
Black Crow glanced warily at Qi Mo after hearing this, then stood next to Su Peijiu: "Master of the Building should come with us."
"Okay." Qi Mo nodded and then took the lead into the tower.
Black Crow: "..." Why did it feel like he was being ignored?
Su Peijiu patted his shoulder: "Good job. No wonder you get pampered so much; once you go in, make sure to protect our Master of the Building well."
The Ancient Tower had no door, and the plaque above had already been covered by shells and snails, making it impossible to see what was written on it.
As soon as she entered, a chill enveloped her. Su Peijiu clutched the Silver Ring in her hand, following Black Crow closely. As the surroundings grew darker, she completely disregarded any boundaries between men and women, tightly gripping Black Crow's arm.
"Why is it so quiet around here?" she cautiously asked. Black Crow looked helplessly at the Master of the Building, who was huddled beside him. "Because we're at the bottom of a lake; how could there be any sound?"
"Master of the Building, are you really scared?" he teased her on purpose.
Su Peijiu bit her lip defiantly. "How could I, the Master of the Building, be afraid? You should focus on finding the Su Family members ahead; watch your back!"
"Since the Master of the Building isn't afraid, could you please let go of my arm? With you so close, I'm afraid I might lose control and do something to you." His tone was exaggerated, but at that moment, Su Peijiu looked pale and pitiful, which indeed satisfied his male vanity. He wanted to do something to her but feared it was merely an impulse.
Su Peijiu was indeed beautiful; he had known that from the start. This woman was stubborn and strong-willed, ruthless when necessary. He had never seen her vulnerable side until now; after all, she was just an ordinary woman.
Upon hearing Black Crow mock her like this, a cold glint flashed in Su Peijiu's eyes as she reached out and twisted his ear. "When we get back to the building, I'll reward you ten times!"
"That's harsh...?"
"Let's see if you dare again..."
...
Leyang stood aside, observing his master's expression, which was as dark as coal. The icy glare in his eyes seemed capable of freezing everything around them. Amidst the distant sounds of flirtation and banter, it became even more terrifying.
Su Peijiu, you're quite something!
Qi Mo snorted coldly and walked ahead, prompting Leyang to quickly follow behind.
Noticing Qi Mo walking ahead with an air of coldness, Su Peijiu called out, "Why are you walking so fast?"
"After all, not everyone is as idle as Nan Xie Tower Master of the Building," he said with a harsh tone, laced with sarcasm.
Su Peijiu gritted her teeth after hearing this and fiercely pinched Black Crow: "Let's go, we must find someone from the Su Family before him."
The group split into two directions; Qi Mo and his team headed south, while Su Peijiu and her group went east.
"Master of the Building, there's a door here," one subordinate said, reaching out to push it open. Su Peijiu shouted that it was too late.
A surging tide rushed toward them, and by the time Su Peijiu regained her senses, she had already been separated from the others. Half of her body was hanging over the stair railing, almost about to fall.
The surroundings were dark and silent, creating an atmosphere that was frightening. She bit her lip and slowly used her strength to pull herself back. Just as she was about to stand upright, a strand of hair suddenly fell down from above. As she looked up, a head wrapped in hair dropped in front of her, slowly turning to reveal a pale face grinning grotesquely at her...
Su Peijiu froze in place, staring blankly at the head. Tears suddenly filled her eyes, and she leaned weakly against the railing behind her, lacking the strength to confront this unexpected apparition.
The ghost of Yue Niang was even scarier than this, but when Yue Niang appeared, she had been somewhat mentally prepared. She still held a Night Pearl in her hand, which provided some psychological comfort.
At this moment, she had nothing on her, surrounded by darkness. Suddenly encountering this ghostly figure in her most fearful environment left her stunned.
Just when she was so frightened that she didn't know which way was up or down, a strong arm pulled her sharply away. Instantly, she slumped into a fragrant embrace. The person gently patted her back: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Those simple five words made Su Peijiu feel as if she had found support; tears could no longer be held back and burst forth.
"How did you come... sob... I'm so scared, don't you know..." She cried heart-wrenchingly, pounding her fists against his chest, burying her face in the fragrant fabric of his clothes. Complaining repeatedly: "Why did it take you so long to come?"
The person holding her just patiently patted her back over and over again, soothing her voice continuously.
It was unclear how much time passed before Su Peijiu's cries subsided, but she still kept her position with her face buried in his chest, refusing to leave.
Now that her rationality had returned, she wore an embarrassed expression on her face. Just moments ago, she had clung to him shamelessly, dramatically pounding on his chest while crying out, "Why did it take you so long to come..." Oh no... How was she supposed to face Qi Mo? Would he laugh at her?
"Are you planning to stay in my arms for a lifetime?" A pleasant male voice came from above. Qi Mo certainly knew Su Peijiu's thoughts. "I wouldn't mind holding you like this."
Upon hearing that, Su Peijiu blushed and pushed him away, then reached up to wipe the tears from her face, only to realize that the hairpin on her head had fallen off somewhere, leaving her long black hair cascading down.
"Thank you," she said softly. "Thank you for saving me."
"No need to thank me; after all, I will collect my reward for saving you," he hinted, and Su Peijiu's face flushed even more under his teasing gaze.
"...What about that head?" She suddenly remembered that she seemed to have forgotten something.
Qi Mo raised an eyebrow and pointed above. "Is this what you're talking about?"
Su Peijiu felt weak in the knees and wanted to run back into his arms again, but her rationality held her back. She thought about how she couldn't be so shameless, biting her lip as she turned away, but saw nothing...
"Qi Mo—!" She called back angrily.
Qi Mo smiled with narrowed eyes. "Here."
"Is it fun to tease me?"
"...If you're scared, come find me. I like the way you look when you're frightened. The one you can rely on is me, and only me." His tone was calm, but the tenderness in his eyes was impossible for Su Peijiu to ignore.
When did this start? Had she already been trapped by those eyes?
"Let's go." She lowered her voice as she walked past Qi Mo.
This relationship, she could neither respond to nor reciprocate, even though she was gradually sinking deeper into it...
She actually loved the feeling of being pampered by him...
Having developed feelings for her enemy, did she have any hope of redemption?
At first, she didn't understand; she thought it was just her illusion, a natural reaction one would have when feeling lonely. But the moment that head appeared, she realized clearly that she liked Qi Mo. She liked the way Qi Mo gently touched her hair and smiled at her with affection. She liked how he domineeringly pulled her into his embrace, and even more so, she liked how he shamelessly called her "my lady"...
It seemed she really liked him. What should she do?
Sensing the fluctuations in Su Peijiu's emotions, Qi Mo silently followed behind her with deep eyes. Just when she was about to lose her footing in her restless state, he reached out and pulled her back.
A flash of Azure passed by, and his voice was cold: "What are you thinking about?"
Su Peijiu shook her head, trying to free herself from his grasp.
Qi Mo laughed, a sarcastic laugh: "What exactly are you pretending to be so delicate about?"
Hearing this, she stiffened, lowering her gaze to the wooden steps. Her heart felt sour as she asked herself: "What are you pretending to be so delicate about?"
"Don't bother." In the end, she coldly uttered this phrase.
Qi Mo slowly released his grip: "Who was just now clinging to me in my arms, complaining with snot and tears that I came late?"
Su Peijiu's face darkened.
"Su Peijiu, you can't just use me and throw me away like that!"
What do you mean by "use and throw away"? In an instant, she completely discarded the fact that she liked Qi Mo. Absolutely impossible! How could she like this scoundrel?! Ha? Ridiculous!!
"You know how I feel about you? You’re acting like a resentful woman."
Qi Mo looked at her provocatively: "It sounds like you haven't completely devoured me."
Red spread across Su Peijiu's face. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, then punched Qi Mo in the chest: "You're talking nonsense! Clearly, it was you who completely devoured me! Don't try to pin this on me!" She still remembered that time when it hurt so much she couldn't walk normally.
After hearing this, Qi Mo laughed like a cat that had just stolen a fish, his laughter charming and enchanting.
He bent down to look at Su Peijiu's angry face, then covered her eyes with his hand and leaned close to her ear, whispering: "So I'm willing to take responsibility. Are you willing to let me take responsibility?"
He placed a kiss on her delicate earlobe.
It's his, ultimately his; there's no way she's getting away! I won't give you a single chance to distance yourself from me.
Su Peijiu raised her knee and kicked him hard in the groin. The man let out a painful groan, and she smirked: "Flower Maiden Captures the Wolf, first move: attack the lower body!"
"Su Peijiu, you..." The man covered himself, his dark eyes filled with rage. Damn it, that crazy person taught her such moves!
