Chapter 53 Warmth and Alienation

"bang bang"

Accompanied by several screams coming from the alleyway, Xu Mo came out of it with a cold face after packing his tail.

When she walked to the courtyard door, she didn't know what she thought of. She rubbed her face vigorously until a smile appeared on her face again, and then she pushed the door open and entered.

"Wang"

Suddenly being hugged upright, the iron-eating beast shrank its head in fright, but its claws subconsciously tightened.

Xu Mo felt a slight pain in his arm, and the corner of his mouth twitched silently.

Looking down, she saw that the baby was still twisting uneasily in her arms. She hurriedly coaxed it and said:

"I'm sorry, baby, I scared you. This is an apology gift to the baby, baby, please don't be angry with me."

Seeing Xu Mo take out another 500-year-old jade green bamboo and feed it to Qi Yue.

Ah Chang silently distorted the shadow in the Soul-nurturing Wood. She couldn't stand it anymore. Enough was enough.

Of the two of them, one was so shameless that he pretended to be a cub just eating and drinking, while the other looked mature and steady, but who knew that he was also a childish person secretly?

It would be a perfect match for these two to work together.

Qi Yue and Xu Mo didn't know what Ah Chang was thinking at this time. They were picking up the spiritual stones together and counting the spiritual stones.

"yeah"

It was also the first time for the iron-eating beast that Xu Mo had so many spirit stones on his body, and his eyes widened in shock.

Xu Mo looked at its cute appearance and was happy. He hugged it and rubbed it against his face happily and curiously.

As if to draw the courage to continue living in this strange world from it.

"Baby, I'm lucky to have you with me."

When Xu Mo said this, he silently hugged the iron-eating beast tightly.

She thought that after escaping from Jincheng, life outside would not be worse than in the Xu family.

But who would have thought that just over a month after arriving in Pingcheng, she could hardly bear it.

In Pingcheng, there was no threat from the Xu family. With Xu Mo's previous experience in living in Jincheng, she could easily rent a cave.

Then, by comparing the introductions of several cartmen to surrounding shops, she successfully found several pharmacies with relatively good reputations, and tested them one by one with the spiritual plants produced in the space.

In the end, she chose to establish a relationship with Wanbao Pavilion and established a long-term cooperative relationship.

In this way, she had a livelihood in Pingcheng.

But...everything obviously went smoothly.

But for some reason, Xu Mo remembered those days when he returned to the rented cave and looked around, seeing no one around him.

What she recalled the most was the time when she was suffering in the Xu family, and the memory of modern times, as she stayed here longer, became more and more out of reach, making people dare not touch it easily.

Especially every time I think of how busy she is with a purpose in modern times, and then look at the tiredness of running around and working without anyone recognizing her.

Xu Mo would occasionally feel in a trance, wondering if it was a dream that he came to the world of immortality where the weak and the strong preyed on each other.

If you are really dreaming, what does it take to wake up from this dream...

"Baby, thank you!"

Unknowingly, the corners of Xu Mo's eyes were wet, but she was an adult for more than 30 years and knew that no one here felt sorry for her.

She raised her hand to wipe away the two tears, and a smile appeared on her face again.

Then she lowered her head and gently pressed it against the iron-eating beast's forehead, and said in a gentle voice:

"Baby, although I don't know who sent you to me and why, I am really grateful for your company during this time.

Without you, I'm afraid I would have..." Something would have happened a long time ago because I couldn't bear the loneliness.

Xu Mo did not say the following words.

But that doesn't mean she doesn't understand some people.

The iron-eating beast blinked twice, his face still looked innocent and ignorant, but now he sat there obediently and motionless.

When Xu Mo saw this, his heart softened even more.

……

The man and the beast stayed like this quietly for a long time.

Sudden. "Puff"

While Xu Mo continued to be immersed in this atmosphere, the iron-eating beast suddenly made two incomprehensible puffs, breaking the tranquility of the yard.

"What's wrong? Is the baby hungry?"

As Xu Mo said this, he saw the iron-eating beast grasping the jade green bamboo she gave him and starting to chew it.

The iron-eating beast gnawed the jade green bamboo very quickly, and Xu Mo was not surprised. She immediately went into the house and took out a few more spiritual plants.

Unlike the spiritual plants she sold in Wanbao Pavilion, these spiritual plants are relatively rare among low-level spiritual plants.

The iron-eating beast looked at Xu Mo with its round black eyes.

Seeing Xu Mo's doting look on his face, he patted its head and said, "Eat it? It's all for you!"

Probably in Xu Mo's eyes, the iron-eating beast seemed to be asking, is this all for me to eat?

Qi Yue, who was thinking about whether she should give something back to Xu Mo, was suddenly touched on the head and was stunned for a moment.

Even though I have been working as an iron-eating beast for two months, I am always being rubbed against by another girl, and I get slapped on the head from time to time.

She is still a little unable to accept it!

Forget it, she is still a woman after all.

Qi Yue, who felt that she was numb but actually looked silly, continued to chew the spiritual plant in her hand calmly.

And the strange fire in her body continuously swallowed up the energy of the spiritual plant that she couldn't digest.

However, this kind of devouring is also limited. Every time the iron-eating beast shows that it is full, it is deliberately disguised when Qi Yue's meridians are so shocked by the pure energy in the spiritual plant that they can no longer continue.

Therefore, Xu Mo never doubted that the iron-eating beast she got would be a human being.

"Did she find something?"

When Xu Mo entered the training room to practice in the dead of night, Ah Chang said, "How else could she say such a thing?"

I know that even if Xu Mo enters the cultivation state, he will leave a ray of consciousness outside to stay vigilant.

Therefore, once Qi Yue pretends to be asleep, he will never do any unnecessary tricks to arouse the other party's suspicion.

"Of course she will find out. It would be strange if she couldn't find out."

If you stay in Pingcheng for a long time, you will always find that the relationship between monsters and humans is hostile.

Suddenly, an iron-eating beast appeared outside her cave, and she couldn't find where it came from.

Xu Mo is not a big-hearted person, and a big-hearted person wouldn't survive now.

So how could she not find any clues?

Ah Chang frowned, looking a little confused as to what Qi Yue meant by this.

Qi Yue explained to her: "When I first came to Xu Mo and took the Transformation Pill, I really just wanted to find a place to hide from Ji Wenqing. After all, apart from this, we don't have any other acquaintances."

There is no need to mention the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce. It is just a purely transactional relationship, and the various forces in the Chamber of Commerce are intertwined. If you are not careful, you will be involved in their conflicts of interests.

Qi Yue said wholeheartedly, she didn't want to deal with those shrewd businessmen.

When it comes to calculating people's hearts, she is not as capable as those people.

When Xu Mo came here, first of all, he knew from previous observations that her character was acceptable. Even after being tempered by the Xu family, she still retained the kindness in her heart.

Second, Qi Yue knew that Xu Mo would have a big opportunity before joining the Wuji Sect, although he didn't know what it was yet.

But she has been in the early stage of foundation building for several years.

Qi Yue just wanted to see if she could get Xu Mo's light and make a breakthrough. If not, Qi Yue wouldn't lose anything.

How can cultivation be anything other than cultivation?
Since having the strange fire, Qi Yue has been in a state of cultivation anytime and anywhere.

"You're good to know."

Seeing that her heart was clear and clear, Chang was silent for a rare moment and said nothing more.

After all, the child has grown up, she has her own plans, and she can't say anything more.

But in fact, Qi Yue could feel that ever since Ji Wenqing exposed the incident, Ah Chang's attitude towards her was no longer so close.

Regarding this, although she felt a little aggrieved, she could not defend her father.
