128 Would You Eat Me Up? (1/2)

”I mean the cliff wall is very slippery…” Mo Wen laughed dryly, and self-consciously removed his hand.

”Put me down. I can walk now,” Lin Qing said uncomfortably, while blushing. It was inappropriate to be in Mo Wen's arms all the time.

”Don't. Let me carry you. Don't worry. I am very innocent…” Mo Wen smiled awkwardly. Of course he wouldn't let Lin Qing off. God knows how long they would take to leave the forest, if he let her walk on her own.

Before Lin Qing could say anything else, straight away he dashed into the forest using Qinggong. Before this, they had moved far away, due to the chasing of the Zhou clan's leader. Gu Jingman was still waiting for him outside of the Zhou Clan's Manor house, so he couldn't waste too much time here.

Innocent, my eye! Lin Qing bit her lip and cursed in silence. Before this, she felt nothing being carried by Mo Wen. After all, Mo Wen was so much younger than her. In fact, she could totally pass as his elder sister, so she shouldn't have such embarrassing thoughts.

But now, she felt incredibly uncomfortable and uneasy being in Mo Wen's arms. She felt like she was on pins and needles. Was it possible that her thoughts had turned filthy, too… It was all Mo Wen, this bastard's, fault!

Mo Wen was naturally fast. In a while, they had returned to the surrounding area of the Zhou Clan's Manor house. The gathering point with Gu Jingman was just some distance away.

”Mo Wen, regarding the Goddess technique…” Lin Qing, who had been keeping silent, hesitated for a long while. In the end, she still voiced out her concern. Being the Goddess Cult's successor was her biggest secret. Accidentally letting Zhou Chonglong find out about her secret, had made her almost doomed beyond redemption.

Even though Zhou Chonglong was dead now, Mo Wen still knew about it. Would he… Lin Qing's heart turned slightly tense at the thought.

”Is the Goddess Technique really that miraculous? If someone ate you up, he could greatly improve his cultivation?”

Mo Wen stared at Lin Qing strangely. If it was true, wouldn't Lin Qing become the Tripitaka [1] in the eyes of the ancient martial arts practitioners? Furthermore, she was such a beauty. She would definitely taste better than the Tripitaka. Tsk tsk…

”Would you…”

Lin Qing stared at Mo Wen while biting her lips. She couldn't bring herself to utter the phrase 'eat me up' for a long while. Why couldn't Mo Wen use a more decent term?

”No.” Mo Wen shook his head.

Lin Qing felt comforted listening to his words. She felt that even Mo Wen's embrace was so much stronger now. Her sense of security increased greatly. When faced with such a huge temptation, there was at least a man who could hold his ground and guard his virtue.

”If I ate you up, you wouldn't take responsibility for me. The risk is too high.” Mo Wen spoke, while shaking his head. His expression seemed to say that he was the one at a disadvantage.

”Don't you dare to be this unscrupulous…” Lin Qing grinded her teeth. The urge to step on Mo Wen's face forcefully rose again. Unfortunately, she could only imagine it, as now, her whole body was in Mo Wen's embrace. What else could she do?

Mo Wen smirked and focused back on sprinting. Lin Qing's Goddess Technique was indeed miraculous, but martial arts, at its essence, stressed progressive cycles. Only by taking solid steps, one by one, could one go far. Seeking shortcuts and tricks would hinder one from truly mastering martial arts.

He had the confidence to again cultivate until the Embryonic Breathing realm, even going further than that, and breaking through to the bottleneck of the Golden Elixir realm. So, why did he need to covet Lin Qing's cultivation? Things obtained without one's own effort, although they could help one achieve things in the short-term, would surely become a stumbling block for the road ahead.

No matter what, Mo Wen was a man with a goal, an ideal, a cultured soul. How could he be compared with that Zhou Chonglong, who was nouveau riche?

In the distance, a large helicopter entered their sight. Gu Jingman was standing on a huge boulder, gazing in the direction of the Zhou clan's Manor house. She had a worried look on her face.
