Chapter 131: One hundred and thirty-one, are you suggesting that I marry you?

As an outstanding Inner Sect Disciple of the Jade Pot Sect, Mo Qing simply wouldn’t take Feng Hang and the others seriously, nor did she care for their somewhat respectful and wary gazes.

"These eyes of his, they belong to me, Mo Qing. I will personally take them out, no need for you to do the job!"

Mo Qing’s indifferent gaze swept over Feng Hang and his companions, her words leaving them feeling somewhat perplexed. Hadn’t she just saved Yun Xiao’s eyes? Why then was she saying this?

"Sister Mo Qing, that... I already said, I didn’t mean to do that before, how can you..."

Yun Xiao touched his nose somewhat awkwardly, clearly aware that Mo Qing’s words were obviously a sign that the anger from being seen naked by him the other day had not dissipated. This was settling accounts after the autumn harvest.

"Shut up!"

Hearing Yun Xiao’s words, a flicker of embarrassment and anger passed through the depths of Mo Qing’s beautiful eyes, and she spoke up to interrupt directly, knowing there were many outsiders present. If that incident were brought up, then, as a talented girl of the Inner Sect, she would have no face to meet people in the future.

Silenced by Mo Qing’s scolding, Yun Xiao didn’t dare to speak further, though his expression was not too pleasant. This woman was far stronger than Feng Hang, and now it seemed one adversary was stronger than the next—a real headache!

"You may leave now!"

To prevent Yun Xiao, that stinky guy, from saying anything indecent in front of outsiders, Mo Qing simply waved her hand, signaling for Feng Hang and the three to leave quickly, lest they become an eyesore here.

Feng Hang really felt aggrieved in his heart. Originally, he was the strongest among them, about to kill Yun Xiao and obtain his own Fire Spirit Crystal, but unexpectedly, Mo Qing appeared out of nowhere, which was completely unforeseen.

Even if Feng Hang had another ounce of courage, he couldn’t dare to confront Mo Qing. His goal in the Jade Pot Sect for these three years was to enter the Inner Sect, so he clearly understood just how strong these Inner Sect Disciples were—he wasn’t a match at all.

"Yes, Sister Mo Qing!"

Since there was no hope left to kill Yun Xiao and obtain the Fire Spirit Crystal, Feng Hang took the opportunity to hope Mo Qing would notice him, thereby gaining favor with this talented girl, or rather this teacher, after entering the Inner Sect.

However, Mo Qing’s thoughts weren’t on Feng Hang and the others at all. Even after Feng Shengguan had disappeared beyond the crater of Yurong Mountain, she still appeared somewhat absent-minded.

"Cough... Sister Mo Qing, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going too!"

Yun Xiao found the atmosphere at the crater very strange and awkward, so he coughed dryly, then after speaking, he turned to leave. He didn’t want to get too entangled with this capricious talented girl—who knew what might happen?

"Stop right there!"

Just as Yun Xiao took a few steps, secretly relieved that the young lady seemed to be in a daze, a harsh scolding came from behind him—it was Mo Qing.

Upon hearing this, Yun Xiao had no choice but to stop and reluctantly turn around, saying, "Sister Mo Qing, all I did was take a glance of you bathing. You wouldn’t really take my life over such a trivial matter, would you?"

"Trivial? Just a glance? Such a trivial matter?"

Hearing these adjectives used by Yun Xiao, with his innocent tone and demeanor, Mo Qing felt as if her lungs were about to explode. Didn’t this kid understand the consequences for a woman whose body had been seen by a man?

In fact, Yun Xiao might not really think so, but at such a moment, he could only speak in such a weary tone, hoping to make a big issue small, a small issue nonexistent. But was Mo Qing so easily fooled?

"Yun Xiao, I told you, even if I had to chase you to the ends of the earth, I would have your body torn to pieces!"

Mo Qing’s tone became icy cold. Truthfully, her nature was to be detached and proud; she was really not used to Yun Xiao’s weary demeanor. This kid showed no sign of awareness that he had offended her—utterly intolerable.

"Sister Mo Qing, don’t forget your identity as a Medical Pulse Master, which is utterly different from those Poison Vein Masters. Besides, Brother Yun Xiao will never forget the lifesaving grace you showed in the Poison Hall!"

Yun Xiao reasoned with her logically and moved her emotionally, mentioning both the righteousness of the Medical Pulse lineage and the past favor in the Poison Hall, which warmed Mo Qing’s expression somewhat.

"If I had known earlier, I should’ve let you, this brat, die under the violent poison of the Seven-Colored Immortal Spider!"

But in the next moment, Mo Qing’s anger flared up again, although it seemed somewhat odd, because when she saw Yun Xiao back then, he had already been poisoned so deeply that no medicine could cure him.

"Sister Mo Qing, what do you really want? Surely you’re not going to spout the same nonsense as those ignorant fools, saying that since you’ve seen my body, you must marry me, right?"

Yun Xiao was also a bit agitated. In his view, seeing the body wouldn’t make a person lose a piece of flesh. Besides, it was an unintentional mistake on his part. Mo Qing’s unrelenting attitude was a departure from the grace expected of a talented young woman of the Inner Sect of the Jade Pot Sect.

"You... shameless!"

Mo Qing was not eloquent; from a young age, she was raised in comfort and privilege, seldom encountering men. Thus, she had never seen someone like Yun Xiao attack with criticism so sharp it cut like a knife. Her face turned bright red on the spot and a wave of anger surged within her.

"Not good, this joke went too far!"

Seeing her reaction, Yun Xiao felt a chill in his heart. His words had been said on a whim, and though he bore no ill will towards Mo Qing, he certainly had no amorous feelings for her. He did not expect his playful remark to provoke such fierce anger from her.

"You shameless scoundrel, even if I don’t take your life today, I must gouge out those eyes of yours!"

Enraged by Yun Xiao, Mo Qing had lost her rationality. Thinking about how Yun Xiao had seen everything on her body, she felt that his eyes no longer deserved to exist.

"Hey, hey, what kind of people are these, always wanting to gouge out others’ eyes?"

Yun Xiao spoke while hurriedly rolling to the side, just barely avoiding Mo Qing’s double-finger gouging and temporarily saving his own eyes.

However, Mo Qing’s strength was much greater than Feng Hang’s, and Yun Xiao was already seriously injured. He might have dodged her casual attack this time, but he might not be so lucky next time.

As it turned out, Yun Xiao’s worry was not superfluous. Mo Qing, missing with her strike and still furious, lunged at him again, determined to gouge out his eyes to preserve her innocence.

At this moment, Yun Xiao was truly panicked. He had assumed that Mo Qing, unlike Feng Hang and Guan Tong, was merely trying to scare him with words—they would never actually attack. Yet he had not anticipated that Mo Qing’s relentless assault was truly aimed to scoop out his eyes for good.

Under the control of Mo Qing’s formidable Meridian Qi, Yun Xiao could only feel the degree of his rolling on the ground getting smaller and smaller, and those slender fingers getting closer and closer to his eyes—closer and closer.

Whoosh!

However, at the critical moment when Yun Xiao’s eyes were about to be lost, a fiery red light suddenly burst forth from his chest. This light seemed to contain immense power, shaking Mo Qing’s double-finger strike to one side.

"What is this?"

Caught off guard, Mo Qing’s complexion worsened. She turned her head to a spot in front of Yun Xiao, where a little fiery-red creature fixed its mung bean-sized eyes upon her.

"A Fire Cloud Rat?"

As opposed to Mo Qing, Yun Xiao recognized the creature at a glance—it was the same Fire Cloud Rat that had inadvertently entered his Marrow Liquid barrel while he was using Stone Heart Marrow for Body Refinement.

However, this Fire Cloud Rat had swallowed too much Stone Heart Marrow, and had been slumbering in Yun Xiao’s embrace for some time. Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, it had acted to save Yun Xiao’s life.

"Hmph, a mere Fourth Rank Low Level Vein Demon, simply seeking death!"

At this point, although Mo Qing did not recognize the Fire Cloud Rat, she sensed the Demon Meridian Qi Cultivation level of this rat-shaped Vein Demon—it was only at the Fourth Rank Low Level.

A Fourth Rank Low Level Vein Demon was comparable to the previously encountered Fire Spirit Snake. How could Mo Qing take it seriously, much less regard a Vein Demon at nearly the same level as Feng Hang or Shen Xiao? A trace of disdain flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Swish!

Just as Mo Qing and Yun Xiao had different thoughts, the palm-sized Fire Cloud Rat unexpectedly ballooned without the presence of wind, turning into a colossal creature over three meters in length in the blink of an eye.

"A Fourth Rank Fire Cloud Rat has actually mastered the talent to transform!"

Witnessing this scene, Yun Xiao realized abruptly. His past life memories were still intact, so he knew of many abilities associated with the Fire Cloud Rat. This transformation skill could only be executed by a Fire Cloud Rat that had reached the Fourth Rank, and when enlarged, its strength would greatly increase.

The powerful Vein Demon like the Fire Cloud Rat also had higher Spiritual Wisdom than ordinary Vein Demons. It seemed to realize immediately that the human female before it was not easy to provoke, therefore it had no intention to engage in an extensive fight.

Whoosh!

The enlarged Fire Cloud Rat, with a quick flash, gently stretched out its small right paw and nudged Yun Xiao onto its back. Then, to Mo Qing’s stunned gaze, it disappeared at the entrance of Yurong Volcano in a few flashes, a speed that even Mo Qing had to admire.

Long after Yun Xiao and the Fire Cloud Rat’s figures had vanished from the volcano’s mouth, Mo Qing finally returned to her senses. She stamped her foot angrily and said, "That shameless wretched boy, why is his luck so good?"

To be honest, Mo Qing was truly angered by Yun Xiao’s unabashed words earlier. At that time, she indeed wanted to scoop out this youngster’s eyes to vent the hatred in her heart.

But for some reason, when Yun Xiao escaped from her grasp, Mo Qing felt somewhat relieved, not understanding why herself.

Thinking back on what Yun Xiao had said before, Mo Qing suddenly felt as if something deep in her heart had been touched, and the embarrassment and annoyance she felt seemed to fade away imperceptibly.
