Chapter 83: Long-awaited Reunion
“No, where is this person?”
Ling Mo circled around Suotuo City but didn’t find any trace of the Shrek group.
According to the original work’s description, they should be at an inn near the Great Fighting Soul Arena!
But Ling Mo had checked almost all the inns around, yet still couldn’t find their location.
While wandering on the street, suddenly… Ling Mo spotted a sneaky figure slipping out from that brothel over there.
As expected, this chubby back view was none other than Ma Hongjun the fatty!
“Hehe, good kid! Finally found you guys…”
Upon discovering Ma Hongjun, Ling Mo revealed a gratified smile.
This guy truly lived up to expectations, always the one who couldn’t sit still! Training on one side, still not forgetting to set fires on the other.
Seeing him sneakily about to slip into another brothel next door, Ling Mo wasn’t scared to death.
Turns out this guy still wasn’t satisfied and wanted to play twice? Young people really have abundant energy…
“Sigh, who… who is tugging my ear…”
Ma Hongjun was just about to go in and enjoy some pleasure of indulgence when suddenly someone popped up from the side and grabbed his ear.
“Damn! Brother Mo, how did you get here…”
Turning his head, Ma Hongjun nearly got scared to death—this wasn’t Ling Mo who had disappeared for almost two months!
“Dead fatty! Cut the crap, quickly take me to find the dean and the others…”
Ling Mo had no interest in fooling around with the fatty and directly dragged him away from there.
True to expectations, with Ma Hongjun’s help, Ling Mo finally found the inn where the Shrek group was staying.
As soon as he entered, he saw Master, Flander, and Zhao Wuji sitting there, not knowing what they were discussing.
“Master, Dean, Teacher Zhao, long time no see…”
Letting go of the fatty, Ling Mo greeted them as soon as he entered the door, then poked his head around but didn’t see Zhu Zhuqing and the others—looked like they were cultivating in their rooms.
After all, no one would be like the fatty with such vigorous energy…
“It’s Xiao Mo! Where did you run off to go wild again?”
Clearly, Master was already used to Ling Mo’s habit of disappearing for a month or so at a time and said indifferently.
“Didn’t go anywhere! Just wandering around casually…”
Ling Mo replied casually, and Flander couldn’t help but say, “You kid, you didn’t really go dig up Spirit Hall’s ancestral grave, did you?”
The more he thought about it, the more shocked he was! Last time Ling Mo was at his small shop, he had bluffed him with that excuse.
“How could I? I don’t have that ability, I just almost dug up the imperial tomb…” Ling Mo was sure he hadn’t dug up Spirit Hall’s ancestral grave, but he had almost dug up the Heaven Dou Imperial Tomb.
“Holy crap!”
His words were shocking enough to kill, and after Ling Mo said this, Flander nearly dropped the cup in his hand.
Damn, he really dared to do it?
“Flander, calm down…” Master’s expression was a bit uneasy, but he still remained calm.
He was already used to such minor scenes! As long as Ling Mo didn’t dig up the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s ancestral grave, it wasn’t a big problem.
“Flander, what are you talking about? Why can’t I understand a single word?” Zhao Wuji felt very confused! It seemed like he was a bit superfluous.
“None of your business! Drink your wine…”
Flander said irritably. Only a few of them knew about Ling Mo’s matters; it was better if Zhao Wuji didn’t know, lest his heart couldn’t take it.
“Making such a fuss, it’s not like it’s anything major!”
Ling Mo rolled his eyes, indicating that Flander wasn’t steady at all and couldn’t handle even this minor thing.
“Where are Xiao San and the others?” Ling Mo asked casually, too lazy to chat nonsense with them.
“Upstairs…”
Master said with an uneasy expression. Ling Mo’s way of doing things really didn’t match with him, so he didn’t want to manage Ling Mo’s affairs too much.
“Oh! Talk later…”
With that, Ling Mo went straight upstairs and, while at it, booked a room on the second floor, preparing to rest well.
Who knew, just as he went upstairs, he ran into Zhu Zhuqing who was about to go downstairs, and he immediately revealed an evil smile.
“You…”
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Ling Mo and was stunned for a moment, thinking she had seen wrong!
But unexpectedly, Ling Mo directly pulled her into the room! By the time she reacted, it was already too late.
“What do you want to do?”
Zhu Zhuqing didn’t resist. Having done it once meant there would be a second time; she had already accepted this behavior in her heart.
During the two months Ling Mo was gone, she thought of him all the time! Now seeing him back, she was also very happy inside.
“First, a kiss…”
“Mmm…”
It had been so long since they last met—was it this exciting right away?
They say a long separation is better than a new marriage! Looks like that saying wasn’t wrong…
“Did you miss me?” Ling Mo whispered in Zhu Zhuqing’s ear, pulling her to the bedside.
Remarkably, Zhu Zhuqing, who had always been reserved about Ling Mo’s intimate words before, actually nodded!
She really did miss Ling Mo, thinking of him all the time!
“You… where did you go these two months? Why did you leave without a word?”
As she spoke, a trace of tears flashed in Zhu Zhuqing’s eyes. She was blaming Ling Mo for not even saying a word when he left, disappearing for a long time.
“Me? I’m preparing for our future!”
Ling Mo said, and he wasn’t wrong! He really was preparing for both of them.
Ghost Gate was already established, and if nothing unexpected happened, Dugu Bo’s side would be completed in at most a year.
Once Ghost Gate was established, Ling Mo would have the strength to contend with the Seven Great Sects and the two great empires, and at that time… no one would dare stop them.
“No, I feel like you’re up to no good! Did you secretly tease some other girl behind my back?”
Zhu Zhuqing kept staring into Ling Mo’s eyes, always feeling like he had something on his mind.
“No way! Am I that kind of person? Don’t worry, no matter what happens in the future, you will always be the woman I love most…”
Making excuses, Ling Mo guiltily pulled Zhu Zhuqing into his arms.
Although he had encountered an angel this time and taken some advantage, in that competition, they had always maintained a hostile relationship, so there was no such thing as cheating or betrayal…
“Really? I don’t believe you…”
A rare smile appeared on Zhu Zhuqing’s face, very satisfied inside, but she didn’t believe Ling Mo’s words at all!
If this guy could change his flowery ways, that would be something.
However… once a person only has one in their eyes, then… everything he does is right.
If put in a man’s terms, it’s a simp! For a girl, who knows how to describe it.
“Hehe, look what I brought back for you this time?”
With that, Ling Mo took out the Phoenix Cloud Colorful Clothes he had carefully prepared! Held in his hand, it was an extremely exquisite jade pendant.
“What is this? A gift for me?”
Zhu Zhuqing happily took it, asking curiously, completely unaware of how precious this gift was.
This was a top divine artifact that Ling Mo had spent half his fortune crafting, with a month’s effort invested.
“This item is called Phoenix Cloud Colorful Clothes…”
“Phoenix Cloud Colorful Clothes? Isn’t this just a jade pendant?” Zhu Zhuqing looked at the jade pendant in her hand, unable to see how it was a piece of clothing.
“Hehe, try dripping a drop of your blood on it…”
Ling Mo said while keeping the suspense! Zhu Zhuqing was even more puzzled.
Dripping blood on a jade pendant—what kind of operation was this? She had never heard of such a thing.
Recommendation Ticket… slap me in the face!
