"Bunny, I'm sorry."

Wangxin said softly, her fingers gently stroking the rabbit's soft back, her voice full of guilt.

"I shouldn't have cut off a patch of your fur... I'm truly sorry."

"But don't worry, it will grow back quickly."

"And in the future, don't get caught by people anymore, okay?"

"Goodbye, bunny."

In the mountain forest, Wangxin gently stroked the mother rabbit's head, then lightly pushed its bottom, signaling it to leave.

The mother rabbit hopped forward a few steps, then turned back to look at Wangxin once more before bounding away lightly with thumps, quickly disappearing into the depths of the forest.

"Let's go."

Standing to the side, Xiao Mo glanced at Wangxin, spoke with a calm tone, then turned and walked down the mountain.

Wangxin stood up and hastily jogged to catch up.

She tilted her head slightly, some confusion in her eyes, and asked softly, "Xiao Mo, do I really not need to practice?"

"You're a Buddhist disciple, not a demonic cultivator."

Xiao Mo answered lightly, his gaze still looking forward.

"Moreover, the people I need to kill, I've always handled myself. I don't need your help."

"But... the blood baleful qi in your body..." Wangxin hesitated, her voice gradually lowering. "What if one day you can't control it..."

"That day won't come," Xiao Mo interrupted her words, his tone decisive. "Xue Kui has been perfectly fine all this time. I'm not inferior to her."

Xiao Mo turned his head and looked directly into Wangxin's eyes, saying seriously, "On the contrary, if you take it upon yourself to help me dissolve the baleful qi again... then next time, I will definitely send you back to Kongnian Temple. Did you hear me clearly?"

Wangxin lowered her head, like a little girl being scolded, and answered in a small voice, "I heard clearly..."

"Good that you understand."

Xiao Mo lightly tapped her head and looked ahead.

Wangxin looked at Xiao Mo's profile.

Those deep eyes of Xiao Mo's always felt like they were hiding something from her, but she couldn't read his heart...

Four days later, when Xiao Mo was only half a month's journey from Black Dragon Sect, he stopped walking without warning.

Wangxin walked forward and accidentally bumped into Xiao Mo's back.

"Xiao Mo?" Wangxin raised her head in confusion.

Just as Wangxin's words fell, Xiao Mo turned and pulled Wangxin toward him while the Spirit Absorbing Sword instantly unsheathed.

"Boom!"

Blood-red blade light swept across, and a boulder exploded into powder.

From behind the boulder, a woman wearing a light gauze dress gracefully flew out.

"Really now, Young Master Xiao frightened this one to death."

The woman coquettishly patted her heaving chest.

She had an oval face with even-toned skin like a newly ripened peach, showing a thin layer of soft luster. Her eyebrows were long and slender, not deliberately trimmed, naturally curved like distant mountains holding dark pigment. The corners of her eyes naturally tilted up slightly. Her nose bridge was straight, with lines softly flowing downward, connecting to full lips.

Those lips were plump, their color a natural rosy red. The corners always slightly upturned, carrying three parts allure even without lip rouge.

Wangxin's eyes looked at this woman in surprise, thinking she was truly beautiful.

Especially on the exposed section of her neck and slender wrists, the skin was fair, actually resembling the finest mutton-fat jade finely polished, so smooth one could almost see the pale blue veins beneath.

"Sili of Ten Thousand Flowers Peak respectfully greets Young Master Xiao."

Looking at Xiao Mo's killing intent-filled appearance, Sili didn't seem afraid at all. Instead, she curtsied generously.

"Come here to die?"

Even facing this extremely seductive woman, Xiao Mo's expression remained ordinary. The long blade in his hand was already trembling, as if the next strike would chop down at her.

However, Xiao Mo did indeed recognize her somewhat.

Xiao Mo remembered that the Ten Thousand Flowers Peak master had taken in a female disciple.

This female disciple was naturally born with a seductive constitution, naturally suited to cultivating charm arts and dual cultivation methods.

Moreover, due to her constitution, the cultivation method she practiced was different from others at Ten Thousand Flowers Peak.

This Sili practiced the cultivation method "Sun-Moon Heart Formula," which was an extremely difficult and peculiar method to cultivate.

The reason the Sun-Moon Heart Formula was peculiar was because although it was a dual cultivation method, one didn't need dual cultivation to reach Immortal realm.

Only if you wanted to cultivate faster, or break through from Immortal realm to Ascension realm, would you need to dual cultivate with others.

Moreover, once a woman cultivating the Sun-Moon Heart Formula dual cultivated with a certain man, her karma would be linked with that man's.

For this lifetime, she could only be "one pair for one lifetime," unable to be touched by other men, or she would suffer endless backlash.

This woman would also, due to the cultivation method, never be moved by any other man again.

It wasn't that a woman cultivating the Sun-Moon Heart Formula could just find any random man.

The higher the man's talent, the more beneficial it was for the woman's cultivation.

If the other party's talent wasn't high, it would even have the opposite effect.

"Young Master Xiao's words are too much. This one didn't come to die."

Sili's lips curved upward. As she spoke, her gaze inadvertently swept toward Wangxin.

Although Sili had always been extremely confident in her appearance, upon seeing this Buddhist saintess, she couldn't help but feel somewhat inferior.

"This one also didn't want to hide and lurk." Sili laughed softly. "It's just that this one saw Young Master Xiao walking together with Sister Wangxin and worried about disturbing the peace of you two, so I hid first."

"Speak plainly."

Even facing this naturally seductive woman, Xiao Mo still appeared extremely impatient.

Even though Sili's appearance was already extremely outstanding among the vast majority of women, having captivated countless Ten Thousand Dao Sect disciples, Xiao Mo didn't care at all.

"Aiya, Young Master Xiao is still so impatient." Sili didn't get angry. Instead, her smile grew stronger. "This one specially sought you out this time to discuss a cooperation with you, Young Master."

"Cooperation?" Xiao Mo seemed to smile but didn't, as if somewhat interested. "Between you and me, what is there to cooperate on? And what could we cooperate on?"

"Very simple."

Sili moved with light lotus steps toward Xiao Mo.

A gust of wind blew, and her gauze dress moved slightly, clinging to her body, outlining graceful curves and plump roundness.

"Young Master aims for the position of Ten Thousand Dao Sect's Holy Son and indeed has this ability. However, Young Master Xiao should understand that managing a sect requires more than just strength."

Her voice was soft and seductive, yet every word was clear.

"Someone always needs to... handle everything for you."

"Stop beating around the bush," Xiao Mo's tone turned cold.

"Alright, alright." Seeing his displeased expression, the seductive look in Sili's eyes didn't diminish in the slightest.

"This one has no interest in the position of Holy Son, nor in becoming the sect master of Ten Thousand Dao Sect in the future."

She paused slightly, her eyelashes lifting lightly, her gaze winding upward like silk threads.

"But this one is quite interested in becoming the sect master's wife."
