The Eldest Miss's Personal Bodyguard

Mo Linglin was delighted by Mo Tang's increase in strength, and her expression stood in stark contrast to Mo Li's sour face.

Quite a few Mo Clan Guards present wore strange expressions. Everyone kept their eyes on their noses and their noses on their hearts, doing their best to make themselves as inconspicuous as possible.

Mo Li clearly had no intention of arguing with Mo Tang. After all, their group had an important mission to carry out.

"Have someone prepare the supplies. Yanran and I have important matters to attend to, so we can't stay here too long."

Upon receiving the order, Mo Lin immediately acknowledged it and led everyone away to make preparations.

Seeing this, Mo Tang, who was being pestered by Mo Linglin's endless questions, hurriedly tried to seize the chance to slip away.

However, that thought was immediately snuffed out by the Second Miss of the Mo Clan.

"There are so many people preparing the supplies. What difference does one less person make? I still have lots of questions! How did you cultivate so quickly... and rise Three Stars in such a short time to become a Dou Shi?"

Mo Tang was thoroughly fed up with this clingy little girl. Just as he was about to brush her off with a few words and leave, Mo Li suddenly spoke from the side.

"Little sister, come here. I have something to tell you!"

"Ah... got it."

Watching Mo Linglin leave reluctantly, Mo Tang immediately let out a sigh of relief.

After hurriedly leaving, Mo Tang returned straight to his room.

As for helping that young master prepare supplies or whatever... Mo Linglin had already said it herself, hadn't she? There were so many people here anyway. One more or one less made no difference!

However, his plan to coast through things was destined to fail.

Because that little girl Mo Linglin came looking for him again...

"What did you say? You want me to accompany you into the Demonic Beast Mountain Range?"

Mo Tang stared wide-eyed at the girl before him, unable to believe it.

"Aren't you going to Wutan City with your brother and the others? Why do you suddenly want to go to the Demonic Beast Mountain Range...?"

At that, an angry look immediately appeared on the girl's face. She huffed, "They actually refused to take me! They even said I had to return with the Trade Caravan..."

Mo Tang rolled his eyes.

If they wanted her to go with the Trade Caravan, then she should just wait here obediently. Why go to the Demonic Beast Mountain Range... was she looking to get herself killed?

"Anyway, you won't be leaving for another three days. You can come wander around the Demonic Beast Mountain Range with me! I've never been inside before... I want to kill Demonic Beasts too!"

Kill Demonic Beasts, my ass!

You're just a little girl who barely broke through to Dou Zhe!

"No."

Mo Tang crossed his arms and looked down at the girl, answering cleanly and decisively.

Mo Linglin clearly hadn't expected him to speak to her like that. After a brief daze, her brows shot up as she said domineeringly, "I don't care! I'm going no matter what!"

"Then find someone else to go with you!" Mo Tang said impatiently.

Wouldn't it be better to use this time to find more Spirit Herbs myself? Why should I accompany this spoiled, willful little girl?

Seeing how resolute Mo Tang was, Mo Linglin had no idea what to do for a moment. Her eyes reddened as she prepared to use her strongest move...

But when she saw his indifferent expression, she suddenly felt that the more she cried, the more he might dislike her.

Although she was the Second Miss of the Mo Clan and he was merely a Mo Clan Guard, Mo Linglin had no intention of using her status to pressure him at this moment.

Her eyes rolled, and Mo Linglin immediately came up with a good idea...

"There are benefits if you come with me..."

Mo Tang raised a brow and laughed. "What benefits? Go on, let me hear them."

"Hehe..." Seeing that her tactic had worked, Mo Linglin pulled a Jade Bottle from her Storage Ring and said, "I have three Yellow Spirit Pills here. As long as you come with me to the Demonic Beast Mountain Range, I'll give you these pills."

Yellow Spirit Pills were 2nd-grade Pills specifically used to increase a Dou Zhe's strength. Even Dou Shi could obtain decent results from taking them.

When Mo Tang had brought back the Qi Gathering Pill before, the reward given by the Mo Clan head, Mo Lan, had been Yellow Spirit Pills...

But...

As expected of the Mo Clan's most favored Second Miss.

She casually took out pills specifically meant to aid cultivation.

"One Yellow Spirit Pill is worth 30 Energy Points. Three make 90..."

Mo Tang calculated silently.

"And I currently have 240 Low-grade Energy. Adding these 90 gives me 330, enough to raise me to an Eight-Star Dou Shi..."

Although he intended to slow down his rate of cultivation advancement for the time being, that did not mean he would pass up Energy Points delivered right to his doorstep.

He only had to take this little girl for a stroll.

With her pampered temperament, she probably would not be able to endure the Demonic Beast Mountain Range for long before coming back out.

Then he would get three Yellow Spirit Pills for nothing just by taking a walk...

It was more profitable than robbery!

Such a good deal—I'm in!

Seeing him nod, Mo Linglin was delighted as well.

She generously tossed him the Medicine Bottle containing the Yellow Spirit Pills and said, "I'm giving you the goods first. Come on, hurry up and follow me!"

"Alright! Please wait a moment, customer. I'll make some preparations and be right there!"

"Hehehe... hurry, hurry..."

In the small town, Mo Linglin, dressed in tight red clothes that accentuated her exquisite figure, walked ahead with her hands behind her back, hopping along as she went.

Behind her followed a young man in black, holding a long saber with his arms crossed before his chest.

"Walk faster! It'll be dark soon!"

Dissatisfied with Mo Tang's lazy pace, Mo Linglin pointed at him with a slender jade finger and urged him in a sweet voice.

"Alright, alright..." Looking at the sun, which had only just passed noon, Mo Tang could only give a perfunctory reply.

Nearby, quite a few members of the Mo Clan watched this scene with astonished expressions, unable to understand why the notoriously spoiled and willful Second Miss was being so intimate with a guard...

Fine, to Mo Tang, this was just a completely normal exchange between people. How had it become "intimate contact"?

Are you all some miraculous race that gets pregnant from a single glance?

News that the two were headed toward the Demonic Beast Mountain Range reached Mo Lin, the strongest member of the Mo Clan here, within moments.

Mo Lin flew into a rage when he learned that Mo Tang had actually dared to take the Second Miss of the clan to such a dangerous place as the Demonic Beast Mountain Range.

"Bastard! If anything happens to the Second Miss, how am I supposed to answer to the Clan Head?!"

"Why aren't you stopping them already?!"

The guard who had come to report the matter also looked aggrieved. "We tried to persuade her... but the Second Miss simply wouldn't listen..."

"And... the Second Miss said that with Deputy Commander Mo Tang protecting her, he could handle any danger. So... so there was no need for servants like us to worry over nothing..."

Mo Lin slammed his fist onto the table, shattering the thick wooden table to splinters. His face was dark as he forced out, "Mo Tang... that bastard again! Just wait until I get back. I'll show you how I deal with you..."
