"What is this?"

Gu Manzhi looked at the red fruit with a slight daze in her eyes.

The fruit contained a rich vitality and was emitting a faint fluctuation of Soul Power, clearly not an ordinary item.

"This is the Heavenly Primordial Spirit Fruit, capable of facilitating Soul Reconnection, and promoting the fusion of the Divine Soul and the physical body. It should work for Yu’er in her condition."

Chen Mo casually tossed the fruit to Yu’er.

Yu’er clumsily caught it and curiously examined it with her glossy eyes.

"Speaking of which, this fruit was snatched from a demon..."

Chen Mo began to tell Gu Manzhi about the events that took place in the Northern Territory.

When she heard about the Ji-level demon reappearing, Gu Manzhi unconsciously clenched her delicate hand, and her breathing halted.

She had clashed with that demon before; just one glance had damaged her Divine Soul! Even after being poisoned by Elder Yu’s Gu Poisoning and sustaining a full-force strike from Chen Mo, it still had enough power to flee, showing its formidable strength!

She hadn’t expected Chen Mo to encounter that monster again!

Remembering his past experiences, each one was like licking blood off the edge of a knife, with the slightest mistake leading to utter disaster!

"Your talent is the greatest I have ever seen. Given time, you will surely enter the Transcendent Realm."

"But the prerequisite is that you have to survive. Only those talents who survive are the true geniuses."

"Now that Jiu Zhou is in turmoil, in such a perilous era, even the prodigies on the Cloud Top Ranking are mostly short-lived, with only a few making it to the end."

"With your background, you’re lacking neither money nor resources, why push yourself to such extremes?"

Gu Manzhi earnestly advised him.

Only by stepping into the Heavenly Human Realm could a Martial Artist truly have a foundation in this chaotic world.

With Chen Mo’s talent, ten years of dedicated cultivation would be sufficient. There was no need to risk his life.

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "It’s just my nature not to wait for the future, but to fight for the present... Besides, when the tree desires quiet but the wind keeps blowing, even if I want to settle down, some people will not agree."

Being an antagonist comes with the plight of an antagonist.

In the plot of "Unmatched Immortal", the antagonist confronts not just the protagonist but the grand forces of the world!

In his previous life, he had cheated his way through and crushed the Frozen Sky Palace, this life, he intended to defy destiny and give the Empress a happy ending!

"The Moon Brilliance Sect wants to mess with me, the Demon Clan wants to capture me, now even the Empress joins the fray!"

"Then fight!"

Chen Mo narrowed his eyes, his gaze as piercing as ice.

First settle the Sect, then purge the Demon Clan, and finally give the Empress’s bottom a harsh slap!

This, it was the resolution of being an antagonist!

"The tree desires quiet but the wind keeps blowing..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Manzhi fell silent.

After all, it was she who had nearly cost Chen Mo his life in the past; what right did she have to say these words now?

After a while, she looked up at Chen Mo and asked softly, "After all I’ve done to you, do you really not hate me?"

Chen Mo nodded and said, "Hate, hatred to the bone."

Gu Manzhi trembled slightly, her eyes misting over, "Then I..."

Right then, Chen Mo continued, "As you know, I’m someone who must avenge my wrongs, so, I also need to deeply enter your... stocks!"

?

Gu Manzhi was momentarily stunned.

Then she realized what he meant, her pretty face flushing red and she protested in a fluster, "No, that won’t do! You can’t have such wicked thoughts!"

How could that be...

It’s nonsensical!

Filled with shock and shame, her previously somber mood swept away.

Chen Mo had been joking all along, but seeing her in such a fluster, he couldn’t help but want to tease her further.

"A gentleman must avenge his wrongs, Demoness, where do you think you’re running!"

He pretended to pounce on her with a fierce look.

Unexpectedly, Gu Manzhi did not dodge, but looked at him with a pitiful gaze, tears glistening in her eyes, and a blush spread from her ear to her neck, like peach blossoms blooming in the spring.

"Lord, please no, I am scared..."

That vulnerable and pitiful look made Chen Mo’s heartbeat suddenly quicken.

She truly was the First Succubus of Unmatched Immortal.

Who could withstand this?

"Cough cough, we don’t need to delve into ’stocks’."

Chen Mo cleared his throat, changing the subject, "On the trip to the Northern Territory for Demon Slaying, there was one demon that left a deep impression on me, guess what its name was?"

Gu Manzhi said blankly, "Isn’t it that Ji-level demon?"

Chen Mo said indifferently, "No, it was a demon of the Chinese Zodiac Branches level, called the Shen Monkey."

"..."

Gu Manzhi bit her lip and gave him an annoyed stare.

Hating how quickly she understood...

After spending so much time with this scoundrel, she felt even her thoughts were becoming unclean...

...

While the two were chatting, Yu’er was examining the red fruit in her hand.

She scrunched her nose and sniffed it, the fragrance rich and compelling, making her salivate.

She opened her cherry-like mouth and gently took a bite.

The fruit pulp melted in her mouth immediately, turning into a warm current surging through her body, revitalizing every inch of her meridians, bones, and acupoints, and bringing about a thriving vitality!

Thump—

Her long-still heart suddenly beat!

At the same time, a sense of clarity washed over her, her mind and body united as one, with no delay whatsoever.

Yu’er held her chest, feeling the long-lost throb.

At this moment, she was no longer rootless and sourceless. She now truly belonged to this world and finally understood who she was.

And all of this, was bestowed upon her by Chen Mo.

"Master..."

While Chen Mo was discussing the names of demons with Gu Manzhi, he suddenly felt a chill, followed by an indescribable warmth.

Hmm?!

He looked down.

There was Yu’er, kneeling on the ground, with a chain around her neck, her eyes looking at him, blurred with emotion.
