Chapter 803: Chapter 789: Came Back

"His strength is certainly not weak; he’s sure to be alright, no need to overthink it," Xia Xi comforted her. Even before he had started cultivating, Xia Xi felt that she couldn’t beat Yan Mo without Mo Si’s help. This showed how powerful Yan Mo was, and now that he’s started cultivating, I heard his awakened bloodline is not low either.

"Yeah," Xia Yue felt the same way.

After chatting for a while, Xia Xi left, and Xia Yue took a noontime rest.

In the afternoon, Xia Xi and Mo Si took her four senior brothers and sisters to play in the Resort Area.

Yan Mo rushed back to the Resort Area at around three or four in the morning.

Dragging his exhausted body, he returned to the yard.

The System and Xuanxuan were hiding in his room, watching TV dramas.

Hearing the door stir, the System and Xuanxuan immediately looked over.

As soon as Yan Mo entered, he spotted the light on the living room sofa and immediately looked over, alert.

"Who’s there?" Yan Mo called out coldly.

"[It’s us.]" The System spoke, then brightened the room lights.

"Why are you here in my place?" Yan Mo asked them with a frown upon seeing it was the System and Xuanxuan.

"[This place is quiet, ah. Why have you come back so late? The Host is very worried about you; did you encounter any danger?]" The System explained, looking at his tired face.

"There were some unexpected incidents, so I didn’t return as planned," Yan Mo said as he grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge, drank some, then sat down to rest.

"[Oh, then you should rest well. We’re going to go out to play.]" The System, seeing the red in his eyes, understood he was truly tired and it would not be good to stay there any longer.

"Hmm, I won’t get up early tomorrow. Tell Xia Yue for me that I’m back," Yan Mo said, figuring it would be better to have the System inform her lest Xia Yue continue to worry.

"[Understood. Get some rest soon. Xuanxuan, let’s go.]" The System nodded at him, expressed concern, and then called Xuanxuan to leave.

"Meow, meow," Xuanxuan said goodnight and shouted at Yan Mo before running towards the System.

The two cats left Yan Mo’s room.

Yan Mo sat and rested for a bit, drank a bottle of water, then got up and went into the bathroom to take a shower before lying directly on the bed to rest.

It was only as the sun was nearly setting that he slowly opened his eyes, then he picked up his phone to check the time: 17:23.

Then he sat up, changed clothes, went into the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face, tidied himself up a bit.

Through the mirror, seeing his previously disheveled self now neatly put together, Yan Mo was finally satisfied, albeit there was still a trace of red and dark circles under his eyes.

This wouldn’t be fixed by just one night’s sleep.

All set, Yan Mo then went out.

"Yan Bro, you’re awake? Did you rest well? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Are you hungry?" As soon as he opened the door, he saw Xia Yue running towards him, her face full of concern.

"I’ve rested well, don’t feel uncomfortable, and I’m a bit hungry. I was about to head to the Dining Hall to eat. Do you want to come? It’s about time for dinner," Yan Mo responded warmly to her worried gaze, answering all her questions.

"No need to go over there. I had Ao Mi help prepare a table full of delicious food early on, and I put it in the System Backpack. Now that you’ve woken up, let’s eat in the yard," Xia Yue insisted as she pulled him to the stone table in the yard and had him sit down.

She then took out the dishes from the backpack onto the stone table.

"Have some soup first to warm up your stomach," Xia Yue said as she served Yan Mo some soup and placed it before him.

"Thank you. Will you eat too?" Yan Mo’s smile never left his lips; he felt very content with her care.

"Together," Xia Yue nodded, also served herself some soup, and urged him to drink quickly as she watched him.

Yan Mo nodded and lifted the bowl to drink.

"Does it taste good?" Xia Yue asked as she watched him.

"It’s good," Yan Mo nodded again.

"As long as it’s good," Xia Yue said with satisfaction, and then began to drink.

"Eat your vegetables. The System told me that when you came back last night, you looked very tired, as if you hadn’t slept for days and nights.

I guess you haven’t been eating or sleeping well lately, so eat up," Xia Yue said.

"Sorry, I broke my promise. I said I would be back in three or four days, but I only returned today," Yan Mo said, putting down his bowl and looking at Xia Yue with apologetic eyes.

"You don’t have to apologize to me. You must have had compelling reasons," Xia Yue didn’t mind that he hadn’t returned according to the agreed time; wasn’t as if he did it on purpose.

"Right, you haven’t been injured, have you?" Xia Yue suddenly became nervous and looked at him.

"No, I have to thank you for the things you gave me before. Otherwise, I really would have capsized in the gutter this time," Yan Mo said with a look of relief.

"Huh? Did you run into a big danger?" Xia Yue asked, curious.

"Yes, there was a traitor. Our plan was leaked, and we were ambushed and attacked. Luckily, thanks to the items you gave me before, we avoided the ambush," Yan Mo nodded.

Although he briefly described the incident in just a few sentences, Xia Yue could imagine how dangerous it was.

"It’s good that you’re safe and back," Xia Yue said, her face showing relief.

"Yes." At that time, Yan Mo was indeed very grateful for all the defensive and healing items Xia Yue had prepared for him; otherwise, they might have been wiped out completely. Of course, he could have gotten away unscathed, but he couldn’t abandon his teammates.

"Let’s not talk about this for now. Let’s eat, it won’t taste good when it gets cold," Xia Yue said with a smile, using the serving chopsticks to put some vegetables in his bowl.

"Sure, you eat too," Yan Mo said with a smile, picking up the vegetables she had given him and starting to eat.

The two chatted while they ate, with Xia Yue doing most of the talking, updating him on the recent situations in the Resort Area.

After the meal, Xia Yue and Yan Mo cleaned up together, took everything into the courtyard’s small kitchen to wash, and then stored them in the System Backpack to return to the Dining Hall kitchen later.

Xia Yue brought out two glasses of juice and a plate of fruit from her room, placing them on the stone table.

Yan Mo took a sip of his juice and felt exceptionally comforted.

"It’s still the best here," Yan Mo remarked.

"Of course," Xia Yue replied with a laugh, sipping her juice when she heard his comment.

"Tomorrow is your birthday. Is your brother planning a party? Who from the Xia Family is coming?" Yan Mo asked her.

"No, but my eldest uncle, youngest uncle, aunt, and also my eldest brother, younger brother and sisters have already delivered their gifts.

The idea from my eldest brother was that just gathering the people here would be enough. Xia Xi brought Mo Si, and also her four senior martial brothers and sisters," Xia Yue shook her head.

"What about your adoptive parents and your adopted sister?" Yan Mo inquired further.

"They haven’t sent anything; our relationship isn’t that great. It’s fine as long as they don’t cause any trouble," Xia Yue shook her head, preferring to not receive gifts than have them be an eyesore.

"Makes sense," Yan Mo nodded, understanding their relationship.

"Are you going to visit your grandfather later?" Xia Yue changed the subject.

"I have to, I’ll go over in a bit." Definitely, otherwise the old man would start complaining that he wasn’t showing enough concern.
