Chapter 118: Some Positive Energy
“Ah… you…”
Opening the door, Zhu Zhuqing saw Ling Mo lying inside and thought she had seen wrong, revealing a surprised expression.
“You what? After not seeing each other for months, even your man is forgotten?”
Ling Mo got up from the bed, gently hugged her over, and suddenly noticed another light bulb at the door.
That’s right, it was Number Five!
He had been guarding the door and hadn’t come in!
Ling Mo casually closed the door to avoid being affected by him.
“Am I not seeing wrong? Is it really you?” Zhu Zhuqing uncertainly walked up, her jade hand continuously touching Ling Mo’s face.
“Ah… why are you pinching me!”
Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing’s jade hand slid down and fiercely pinched Ling Mo, immediately causing him to cry out in pain.
This girl really dares to pinch anywhere!
“It seems real…”
Hearing Ling Mo’s cry of pain, Zhu Zhuqing excitedly pounced over and directly hugged Ling Mo.
“You… where have you been these past few months?”
After confirming she hadn’t seen wrong, tears flashed in Zhu Zhuqing’s eyes as she resentfully looked at Ling Mo.
This guy left for months, making her worry every day, afraid something had happened to him.
Especially the previous accident at the Great Fighting Soul Arena in Silvis, at that moment it felt like the sky had fallen.
If not for Number Five finally bringing back a letter from Ling Mo at the end, she would have thought Ling Mo was dead.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing’s tearful appearance, Ling Mo felt very heartbroken!
He told her about the events of this time, of course… he didn’t mention the matter of that ancient tomb, after all, that kind of thing was too eerie, even he couldn’t accept it.
After hearing Ling Mo’s explanation, Zhu Zhuqing said in surprise: “You actually extorted one hundred million gold soul coins from Spirit Hall?”
What shocked her most was that Ling Mo had extorted one hundred million from Spirit Hall—what kind of concept was that?
Spirit Hall’s current strength, even the empire didn’t dare provoke them easily, yet Ling Mo dared to extort them? Was he tired of living?
“A mere Spirit Hall, what’s there to fear? Don’t worry, they can’t do anything to me…”
“But! Opposing them, what benefit is there?
Even the empire doesn’t dare provoke them easily, aren’t you afraid it will be unmanageable in the end?”
Zhu Zhuqing was very worried; the Ling Mo she knew wouldn’t do something without thinking.
Ling Mo didn’t know how to explain to her; was he supposed to tell her that in a few years, Spirit Hall would declare war on the entire continent?
“Don’t worry, I have my measure! With the current trend, Spirit Hall still doesn’t dare provoke me.
Once my Ghost Gate is successfully established and I start widely recruiting disciples, at that time… not to mention Spirit Hall, even the Seven Great Sects, plus the two great empires, plus Spirit Hall, might not be my opponent…”
Ling Mo reassured her; anyway, sooner or later he would have to face Spirit Hall directly, better to strike first than wait for them to act.
In a few more years, Spirit Hall would begin their ambitious campaign, and wanting to unify the continent, they would inevitably include Ling Mo’s Ghost Gate on the list.
Since they would clash sooner or later, why should Ling Mo be polite to them?
“By the way, how has your recent cultivation been? Have you been slacking?”
Ling Mo hugged Zhu Zhuqing, reluctant to let go, while gently asking.
“I’m at level 39 now, almost level 40!
Ever since eating that immortal medicine you gave me, my cultivation speed has gotten faster and faster; now even Xiao San doesn’t have as high a level as me…”
Zhu Zhuqing said, and hearing this, Ling Mo was immediately stunned.
How did she progress so fast? Where was the problem?
Logically, Tang San, who also ate the immortal medicine, was only at level 38 now, yet she had reached level 39.
This speed was too fast!
“Wait, you just said you’re already at level 39?” Ling Mo said in disbelief.
This was really too unbelievable!
“That’s right! I don’t know why either, but holding the similar Broken Intestine Red you gave me, plus the medicinal effect of the Immortal Spirit Violet Orchid, in just half a year’s time, I broke through nine levels in a row, reaching the level 39 limit…”
“Hm?”
Hearing this, Ling Mo seemed to understand!
The issue should be with the Immortal Spirit Violet Orchid! This immortal medicine belonged to the one inherently existing in the Small Tower.
How many years it had existed, Ling Mo had no way of knowing.
But last time in Jing Jue Ancient City, hearing that silly dog say, these immortal medicines seemed to be some kind of longevity medicine…
That unscrupulous guy dug through ancient tombs worldwide just to find longevity medicine, not knowing who it wanted to revive…
While the immortal medicine in the Small Tower itself did not belong to those nurtured by the Douluo World, but existed inherently in the Small Tower.
Its quality was far more terrifying and pure than other immortal medicines…
This seemed the only explanation that could resolve Ling Mo’s doubts.
Overall, this wasn’t a bad thing! The faster Zhu Zhuqing broke through, the happier Ling Mo was.
“Looks like my wife hasn’t been slacking recently; it won’t be long before she can catch up to me…”
Ling Mo said with a gratified smile.
“I don’t hope to catch up to you, just don’t want to fall too far behind you; I’m afraid that when you’re in danger, I won’t be able to help you…”
Zhu Zhuqing leaned in Ling Mo’s embrace; in her heart, she never thought of surpassing Ling Mo!
She cultivated so desperately just to not fall too far behind Ling Mo; she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to help him in the future.
For Zhu Zhuqing’s this thought, Ling Mo was very gratified.
His hands gently wrapped around Zhu Zhuqing’s slender waist, Ling Mo hugged her from behind and softly said: “While I was away this time, did you miss me?”
“Mm…”
She answered almost without hesitation.
They say reunion after long separation is better than a honeymoon, and it’s not exaggerated at all.
After experiencing multiple times of being dominated by the fear of Phoenix Cloud Colorful Clothes, without permission, Ling Mo didn’t dare touch randomly anymore.
Ever since eating the Immortal Spirit Violet Orchid, Zhu Zhuqing liked purple more and more, and… she had more and more flavor.
Ling Mo loved it immensely! This unique temperament and fragrance, wasn’t it exactly the perfect girl of his dreams?
“Eh… why is Zhu Qing’s room shaking all the time?”
Suddenly, a puzzled voice came from outside the door—it was Ning Rongrong!
She had just come back from class and wanted to find Zhu Zhuqing to chat.
The other students hadn’t returned yet, all cultivating in their respective training grounds.
Looking at the room shaking before her, Ning Rongrong was extremely curious, not knowing what Zhu Zhuqing was doing inside.
“Wow…”
Before she could be surprised, Ning Rongrong hurriedly covered her mouth, not letting herself make a sound.
What she didn’t know was that Ling Mo had already noticed her presence, just too lazy to pay attention to her.
Who knew this girl had such strong curiosity, feeling eager to try…
Number Five had already noticed her, but he ignored her, standing there like a dead person.
He… seemed indeed like a dead person.
