After a long time, Mo Xiuyao suddenly raised his hand and did not touch Song Zhi’s eyes. Instead, he rescued her lips from her teeth. “Don’t bite anymore, you’ll bleed.”

Song Zhi looked at him in confusion. The next second, she saw Mo Xiuyao wiping his fingers on his clothes with a frown.

Song Zhi: “…”

Was Mo Xiuyao despising her? Her confused mind instantly sobered up a little, but it was a pity that this sobriety did not last long, as Mo Xiuyao’s wild movements messed it up.

Song Zhi, “…”

Mo Xiuyao was satisfied when he saw that Song Zhi was no longer biting her lips. He then realized that Song Zhi had never been so emotional when she did it before. He started to get excited again and his actions became more and more ruthless. Song Zhi felt that she was about to fall apart. Before her mind went blank, she sobbed and vaguely heard him ordering in a deep voice, “You’re not allowed to take medicine next time.”

‘Did I offend him again? Sir Demon Lord was too hard to please, ‘Song Zhi grumbled in her heart and started to focus on her cultivation. She really was not very talented in cultivation. After working hard for so long, she had only just barely touched the threshold of the Qi Refinement stage. However, she did not have much ambition. She was already content with being able to live a long life without illness or disaster.

After a long time, Song Zhi finished her cultivation and confirmed her condition. She carefully suggested to Mo Xiuyao, “Why don’t we try again?”

Mo Xiuyao paused and stared at her for a long time before he agreed.

That night, Song Zhi and Mo Xiuyao cultivated a total of three times. It was almost the same amount as the previous ten days. The efficiency was considered to have improved by leaps and bounds. Hence, for a long period of time after that, the two of them would use this position. Occasionally, they would switch back to the previous position. Spring passed and autumn came. Song Zhi had finally cultivated to the early stage of Qi Refinement!

“I’ve succeeded!” The moment she entered the Qi Refinement stage, Song Zhi jumped three feet high and scuttled around the forest like a wild monkey. Mo Xiuyao’s face showed disdain, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Song Zhi finally noticed him and pounced on him with an excited face.

Mo Xiuyao’s eyelids twitched, but he did not dodge. Hence, Song Zhi jumped onto him. “Demon Lord, I’ve succeeded! After I get rid of the Gu poison, I can live to a hundred years old!”

“Those who don’t know would think that you’ve Ascended.” Mo Xiuyao spoke lightly. He wanted to hold Song Zhi’s waist with one hand, but before he could touch her, she got down from him.

“Whether I Ascend or not is not something I can think about. I’m already very satisfied that I can cultivate to the Qi Refinement stage.” Song Zhi was really satisfied and looked like she did not intend to continue working hard.

Mo Xiuyao’s face was expressionless.

Song Zhi giggled. “I’m indeed quite useless. However, this is my personality. I can’t change it. After I get rid of the Gu Poison in my body, I’ll find a place with mountains, water, and sunlight to retire and spend my old age…”

Halfway through her words, she suddenly came back to her senses and hurriedly added, “I’ll spend my old age with you, Demon Lord.”

“I won’t get old even if you die a thousand times.” Mo Xiuyao glanced at her. “There are mountains and rivers in the Demon’s Note Valley. It’s just that there’s not much sunlight.”

Mo Xiuyao acted as if he did not hear how deliberate Song Zhi’s last sentence was.

Song Zhi heaved a sigh of relief and suddenly felt a little guilty. Although Mo Xiuyao was the villain in the novel, he was still very good to her. After such a long time together, she did not feel that he was that scary. Instead, he was like a primary school student who did not care about anything other than eating. Perhaps she had a preconceived notion and demonized Mo Xiuyao? That’s why she thought he was scary?

Song Zhi licked her lips and was about to speak when she saw Mo Xiuyao’s cold eyes. “Since you’re here, there’s no need to hide.”

“…Who are you talking to?” Song Zhi asked. She was dazed for a moment, and in the next second, she saw more than a dozen people appear out of thin air around her. She quickly hid behind Mo Xiuyao.

“It’s not easy to find so many invisibility cloaks.” Mo Xiuyao looked at the people who had suddenly appeared and said leisurely, “Are you here to seek revenge?”

Song Zhi felt that Mo Xiuyao’s words were a little familiar. She seemed to have been asked the same question when she came to the Demon’s Note Valley.

The leader’s face darkened, “Demon! You killed the entire clan of Mo River Valley. Today, I will seek justice for my clansmen!”

“As expected, you’re here to seek revenge.” The Demon’s Note Valley seemed to be heavily guarded, but in fact, the guards were like sieves. Mo Xiuyao was used to it, but Song Zhi was not. There were so many people on the other side, and they were all tall and strong. One look and she could tell that they were trained. Even if their cultivation was suppressed, their skills would not be bad. Were these people planning to kill Mo Xiuyao while he had lost his cultivation?
