Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“That… why are you looking at me like that?” Cheng Wa felt a chill down her spine as she was being stared at by Mo Yang.
Mo Yang glanced at him indifferently, “Nothing.”
Liar! Cheng Wa snorted coldly. They were famous for their investigative abilities. How could Mo Yang’s little schemes be hidden from him?
However, when her gaze landed on Mo Chu who was eating non-stop, Cheng Wa’s attention was immediately diverted and she stared at her with a burning gaze.
“Cough!” Mo Chu coughed lightly. She really could not stand Cheng Wa’s burning gaze. She picked a large bunch of grapes, washed it clean, plucked them, placed them in a bowl, and handed it forward. “Come, you guys eat!”
Huh? Upon hearing this, baby-face’s eyes immediately lit up. He hurriedly took the bowl and hugged it tightly in his arms!
“Baby-face, everyone who sees it will get a share!” Guan Sheng snorted and reached out to grab a large handful of grapes from the bowl.
“Let go, these are mine!” Cheng Wa’s eyes were filled with anger. He immediately slapped the grapes out of Guan Sheng’s hands. “Also, stop calling me baby-face!” What kind of f*cking title was this? It did not fit his tall and heroic image at all, okay?
“Cheh! Mo Chu already said that this is for us. Are you planning to keep it for yourself?” Another soldier jumped over with a smile on his face. He twisted his body slightly. He did not know why, but in the blink of an eye, the bowl in Cheng Wa’s hand disappeared.
“That’s mine!” Cheng Wa cried out miserably and immediately went forward to snatch it!
After that, Mo Chu and the rest witnessed an exciting battle! His punches and kicks were swift and fierce, and his movements were swift and neat! When he walked and turned around, he seemed to have stirred up a gust of wind!
However, when she recalled that this was because of a bowl of grapes. A bowl of grapes had caused a riot, and Mo Chu could not help but have black lines all over her head! Really, the foodies in this world were too crazy!
After more than ten minutes, Cheng Wa finally snatched the bowl back. However, when he saw that it was empty, his face could not help but turn pale, and he was stunned.
“Why don’t I pick some more for you?” Mo Chu asked with a chuckle.
Then, Cheng Wa’s originally hopeless expression immediately became spirited. The frequency of his nodding was exactly the same as the puppy that Mo Chu had previously raised!
Thus, when Ning Yiyuan arrived, he saw that everyone was holding bowls and eating the fruits with relish. Their expressions were one of intoxication!
“Is it good?”
Hmm? Where did that sound come from?
When everyone heard the sound, they raised their heads and could not help but be stunned. They saw a tall and straight man in front of them staring at them with a smile. His usually meticulous clothes were slightly wrinkled and dusty, but his expression was unexpectedly gentle.
“Report!” Cheng Wa and the others immediately stood up and saluted him with an extremely standard military salute. “Good, delicious!”
However, they could not hide the awkwardness on their faces. They had always walked the path of elites, but at this moment… How did it turn out like this?
Mo Chu blinked her eyes and looked a little dazed. “Um… Do you have any mission here?”
“Yes.” Ning Yiyuan nodded and added casually, “I’m here to see you.”
Although Ning Yiyuan looked calm at this moment, God knew how frightened he was when he received the news from Guan Sheng that Mo Chu was injured. He immediately told Guan Sheng what he was doing as soon as possible, then, he immediately rushed over.
However, seeing Mo Chu’s current appearance, he should be fine now. The worry in his heart was finally reduced a little.
Not to mention Mo Chu, even Guan Sheng, who was beside him, was stunned.
He had indeed told Ning Yiyuan about Mo Chu’s encounter with danger, but Mo Chu’s condition had improved in the end. He had also sent the news to him in time. Even so, Ning Yiyuan was still worried. Should he come and take a look himself?
Thinking of this, Guan Sheng could not help but smile.
“Aiyo!” Among the few soldiers, only Cheng Wa had a mischievous personality. As soon as he heard Ning Yiyuan’s words, he immediately winked at the others and said in a low voice, “There’s a mission. The mission is to see if Mo Chu is alright. It’s really… Tsk tsk, it’s too touching!”
Although Cheng Wa’s voice was lowered, the training ground was also very quiet. No matter how soft he spoke, everyone could still hear it clearly. Mo Chu’s ears could not help but redden as she turned her head slightly.
“Alright.” The soldier with a serious expression glanced at them before standing up and walking outside. “Let’s go and see how the other trainers are doing.”
This meant that he had left the space for Mo Chu and Ning Yiyuan.
“Okay!” Cheng Wa chuckled and hugged Mo Yang, who was standing next to them. “Let’s go. Come with us. Don’t stand here.”
“I don’t…” Before Mo Yang could finish his words, Cheng Wa covered him with his hand and forced him to leave. Before he left, he even gave Ning Yiyuan a look. Go for i, Boss!
The few of them had already gone far away. Ning Yiyuan took two steps closer and asked softly, “Does the wound… still hurt?”
This matter was rather vague, but just a few words were enough for Ning Yiyuan to deduce the danger involved. If Cheng Wa had not arrived in time, she and Mo Yang might have been in a terrible situation by now!
“It’s fine. It doesn’t hurt that much anymore.” Mo Chu shook her head. When she saw the worry in Ning Yiyuan’s eyes, and she suddenly felt a warmth in her heart.
“I heard that it’s on your waist?” Ning Yiyuan glanced at Mo Chu’s waist.
“Yes.” Mo Chu nodded. When she met Ning Yiyuan’s gaze, she did not know why, but she suddenly felt a burning sensation on her face.
Ning Yiyuan’s tone was light. “Can… can you let me take a look?”
“Mm?” Mo Chu was stunned for a moment. When she realized what he meant, even her ears turned red.
Ning Yiyuan did not move. He just looked into her eyes quietly, and there was a rare pleading look in his eyes.
“Well…” Mo Chu licked her lips, and a voice that was as soft as a mouse could be heard. “Okay.”
Ning Yiyuan’s hearing was very sharp, so he naturally heard what Mo Chu said. The corners of his mouth could not help but curl up into a smile. He took a few steps forward and carefully reached out to pull Mo Chu’s clothes.
As the clothes were pulled up, Mo Chu’s delicate white and tender skin instantly entered Ning Yiyuan’s eyes. His perfectly curved waist seemed as if he could hold it with just a stretch of his hand!
His breath froze slightly.
Ning Yiyuan closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his gaze was immediately attracted by the not-so-obvious scar on her waist. The fine line-like scar had already formed a scar. When the deep red scar contrasted with her fair and tender skin, which was so fair that it was like marble. It became more and more an eyesore.
His rough and large palm suddenly caressed the scar on Mo Chu’s waist. His movements were gentle and meticulous, as though he was afraid that he would injure her if he used too much force. That pair of beautiful brows also furrowed tightly, as though he could feel the pain she felt at that time.
Mo Chu’s body suddenly stiffened. It was as if the only part of her body that had a sense of touch was her waist. She could even feel the calluses on Ning Yiyuan’s hands easily.
“I brought medicine.” Ning Yiyuan finally moved his hand away. Mo Chu could not help but let out a soft breath, but her face became even redder. “After I apply this medicine, there won’t be any more scars.”
Guan Sheng and the others were soldiers, so they were inevitably injured all year round, so they had a good supply of medicine and ointments. However, as men, they naturally did not need the medicine to remove scars. Mo Chu did not notice this at first, she did not expect Ning Yiyuan to be thinking about this, and even brought the medicine.
“Okay, then give it to me.” Mo Chu nodded and spread her hands. “I’ll go back and apply it myself.”
Ning Yiyuan tightly held the medicine in his hands and raised his eyebrows. There was a hint of ambiguity in his expression. “It’s not easy to operate on your own. Let me help you.”
What the hell?
Mo Chu’s face was full of black lines. She had injured her waist, not her back. It was not difficult for her to apply the medicine herself, right?
“It’s okay. If I can’t do it myself,” Mo Chu swallowed her saliva, not daring to look at Ning Yiyuan’s fiery eyes. “I’ll ask my brother to…”
“No!” Before Mo Chu could finish her sentence, Ning Yiyuan vetoed it! He had not even looked at Mo Chu’s body, so how could other men beat him to it?
Fortunately, Mo Chu did not hear Ning Yiyuan’s words. Otherwise, she would have spat out a mouthful of blood! However, it was because of her words that Ning Yiyuan’s determination to personally apply medicine on her became even firmer.
Half-squatting down, Ning Yiyuan’s line of sight happened to be on Mo Chu’s waist. Opening the medicine box, Ning Yiyuan dipped his finger into some ointment and was about to apply it on Mo Chu’s waist when he suddenly stopped halfway!
Mo Chu let out a deep breath. Her entire body was emitting hot air. What was this person trying to do? Was he going to apply it or not?
In the end, a warm thing suddenly stuck onto Mo Chu’s wound. This feeling was like… Mo Chu lowered her head abruptly, her eyes widening!
Ning Yiyuan actually… Actually kissed her on the wound! Moreover, the gaze that he used to stare at her wound was filled with sincerity!
When they were too close, she could almost feel the slight itch of Ning Yiyuan’s long eyelashes sweeping across her skin, as well as that warm breath…
“Don’t…” Mo Chu said. Her eyes scanned the surroundings, but she did not dare to make eye contact with Ning Yiyuan. He only felt that the place where Ning Yiyuan kissed was burning!
“Don’t get hurt again in the future.” Finally, Ning Yiyuan moved his lips away and raised his head slightly. His deep eyes stole Mo Chu’s eyes. When he saw her red face, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly. He gently kissed the wound again and murmured, “I’ll… feel sorry for you.”
Before Mo Chu could say anything, Ning Yiyuan had already placed his finger on Mo Chu’s waist. He gently drew a layer along the wound and applied the ointment evenly onto it.
Mo Chu lowered her head slightly. Only now did she realize that Ning Yiyuan’s eyes were filled with love and affection.
After applying the ointment three times in a row, Ning Yiyuan put it away and handed it to Mo Chu. “Apply it twice a day. Don’t forget to apply it. I’ll check it later.”
Hmm? Upon hearing this, Mo Chu immediately raised her head. Check… check what?
“The effect of this ointment is very good. By the time you return from training, there won’t be any scars left.” Ning Yiyuan’s eyes flashed. “When the time comes, I’ll check it myself.”
You are clearly trying to take advantage of me! Mo Chu glared at him angrily, which made Ning Yiyuan burst into laughter. He suddenly lowered his head and pressed his forehead against Mo Chu’s head. He sighed softly, “You are really a silly girl!”
You are the silly one! Humph! Mo Chu glared at Ning Yiyuan. She did not know that Ning Yiyuan liked her angry look even more!
However, he could not tease her too much. Ning Yiyuan restrained himself a little and looked to the side. There was some doubt in his voice. “You can eat the fruits?”
“Of course!” Mo Chu nodded. “Do you want to try it? It tastes good!”
“Okay…” Ning Yiyuan smiled and agreed. However, he shook his head and said, “But it’s not appropriate, right?”
“It’s fine. You just need to wash your hands.” Mo Chu raised her head slightly and met Ning Yiyuan’s teasing gaze.
He curled his lips and said softly, “There’s no need. You can Feed me!”
Feed you?
Mo Chu was slightly startled.
“Why? You don’t want to?” Ning Yiyuan shook his hand that was covered in ointment as if it was a matter of fact. There was a hint of emotion on his face. “Why don’t you see who I’m doing this for? Now, I’m actually doing…”
“Enough!” If Ning Yiyuan were to continue, he would paint her as an ungrateful girl! Mo Chu glared at him. It turned out that he had set a trap for her here!
“Open your mouth!” Mo Chu said coldly, but Ning Yiyuan’s face bloomed with a smile. He took the initiative to half-squat, raise his chin, and wait for Mo Chu to feed him!
Hmph! Mo Chu snorted coldly, grabbing four or five grapes and feeding them to Ning Yiyuan. She stuffed the grapes into Ning Yiyuan’s mouth without leaving any space.
Ning Yiyuan did not mind. He bit down hard, and the sweet juice of the grapes splattered all over his mouth. Staring at the red-faced Mo Chu in front of him, Ning Yiyuan felt that the taste was exceptionally sweet…
However, not long after this pleasant time, Mo Yang ran back and stood by the side like a 360-degree light bulb.
“Umm, Little Chu…” Before Ning Yiyuan could finish his words, he saw Mo Yang pulling Mo Chu with a worried look on his face. He pretended to make a fuss, “Aiya, your body hasn’t recovered yet. How can you stand there for so long? You’d better go in and rest for a while!”
As he said that, he pushed Mo Chu towards the room, leaving Ning Yiyuan alone on the spot. He looked so pitiful!
“Pfft–”
Cheng Wa, who was hiding at the back, could not help but chuckle. This was the first time he saw Marshal Ning being despised like this! It was simply… too exciting!
Ning Yiyuan turned his head abruptly. His gaze quickly caught the few people behind him, and his gaze turned slightly cold.
Oh no! They’ve been discovered! Cheng Wa and the others immediately put away the smiles on their faces. They turned around and ran back quickly. In the end, they even tried to cover it up by saying, “Aiya, there are too many things to do today. I’m going to get busy now!”
Looking at the figures of the people running away like rabbits, Ning Yiyuan could not help but raise his eyebrows… After not seeing them for a while, these brats were getting bolder and bolder.
Looking to the right, Ning Yiyuan could not help but be slightly startled.
Guan Sheng was standing in a corner with a slightly strange expression. When he saw Ning Yiyuan’s gaze sweeping over, he nodded slightly at him.
The two of them had been good friends for many years, so the tacit understanding between them was naturally very strong.
Ning Yiyuan raised his eyebrows and silently walked toward Guan Sheng. When the two of them entered a separate room one after the other, Ning Yiyuan asked, “What’s wrong?”
“… There’s something that I think you should know.” After a moment of silence, Guan Sheng said softly, “It’s about Mo Chu.”
Hearing this, Ning Yiyuan’s originally calm expression immediately turned serious. “It’s about Little Chu’s body…”
“Could there be any hidden dangers?” Thinking of this, Ning Yiyuan’s brows suddenly furrowed!
“No! Her body is recovering very well.” Guan Sheng hurriedly shook his head and changed the topic slightly. “However, I feel that there seems to be something wrong with her constitution!”
“What do you mean by this?” Ning Yiyuan frowned.
“Mo Chu’s flesh and blood seems to…” Guan Sheng hesitated for a long time before he finally expressed his meaning. “It seems to have a very strong attraction towards the Magical Region!”
“Hmm?” Ning Yiyuan’s eyes narrowed.
Guan Sheng sighed. “You should know what the magical plants in the inner area of the Magical Region look like.”
“Mo Chu and Mo Yang are tier 7 or 8 experts, while the magical plants in the outermost layer are only tier 5 or 6. Logically speaking, they would not attack Mo Chu, but the fact is that the moment they walked in, the magical plants immediately launched an attack! From the looks of it, they were completely attracted by something!”
As he spoke, Guan Sheng’s brows could not help but furrow even more. “And those special magical plants, as soon as they smelled Mo Chu’s flesh and blood, they even ignored their domain consciousness and concentrated on attacking Mo Chu!”
“Isn’t this too strange?”
All the questions pointed to the only answer — Mo Chu’s flesh and blood was a gluttonous feast for the magical plants!
Hearing this, Ning Yiyuan could not help but squint his eyes.
Thinking back to the time when they were in District 9, this kind of situation seemed to have already happened. The Magical Regions seemed to be particularly keen on Mo Chu, but the situation at that time was not very obvious, so he neglected the facts. Now that he heard Guan Sheng say this, he immediately connected the dots.
“Then, what do you think about this matter?” Seeing Ning Yiyuan’s silent look, Guan Sheng could not help but frown. You said it was such a big matter, why did this person not have any reaction at all?
Hearing the anxiety in Guan Sheng’s words, Ning Yiyuan slightly raised his head and softly replied, “Oh.”
Oh…?
Guan Sheng was stunned. So after saying so much, you only gave me this word? “Do you not believe me? Or do you think…”
“No.” Ning Yiyuan shook his head slightly. “I believe you, but this matter is not important to me. Mo Chu is still Mo Chu.”
Regardless of whether there was anything unusual about her physique, he would accept it calmly.
Seeing the light in Ning Yiyuan’s eyes, Guan Sheng could not help but be startled. “Fine! I have told you about this matter anyway. You can decide how to deal with it yourself!”
He exhaled heavily, Guan Sheng felt as if he had unwrapped a bag. He felt relaxed and was about to turn around and leave.
“Wait!” Ning Yiyuan suddenly called out to him and said in a low voice, “I hope you won’t tell anyone about this matter.”
Guan Sheng raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, “What? Is this an order or a request?”
“Both.” Ning Yiyuan stared at Guan Sheng. With Mo Chu’s current momentum, once this news was exposed, there might be some complications. So the fewer people who knew about it, the better!
Meeting Ning Yiyuan’s serious eyes, Guan Sheng straightened his face and raise his head to salute, “Yes, I promise to keep it a secret!”
