A True Gentleman Who Remains Unmoved with a Woman in His Arms

Xiao Yi Xian ultimately did not call him "Brother Mo."

But the young girl no longer addressed him as "young master" either, changing it to "Big Brother Mo."

Though the former only had one extra word, its meaning was entirely different.

"Big Brother Mo" was really no different from "Random Passerby." It completely lacked the intimacy and ambiguity of "Brother Mo."

Still, Mo Tang was no pervert.

Naturally, he could not force a young girl he had only just met to use an intimate form of address, so he did not object.

After Xiao Yi Xian helped the injured Blue Eagle return to its nest, worried that it would be unable to forage for the next few days, she deliberately left it plenty of food.

"Mm, one Blackback Boar, several hundred kilograms of meat. That should be enough to feed you, big eagle, for a few days."

Mo Tang carried a Demonic Beast resembling a black wild boar and tossed it directly to the Blue Eagle, then flapped his Gale Wings and returned to the ground.

"Thank you, Big Brother Mo!" Xiao Yi Xian said with a face full of gratitude.

Yet she became even more curious about this young man who had suddenly appeared before her.

Someone not yet a Dou Wang could actually fly... It was simply unbelievable!

The two left the Blue Eagle's nest. Then Mo Tang directly reached out and wrapped an arm around her soft waist, and a soft, fragrant body immediately crashed into his embrace.

"Ah! You...!"

Xiao Yi Xian had never expected him to do such a thing and was instantly frightened out of her wits.

"Don't panic. I'm only taking you out of here. Otherwise, with such a long way to go, were you planning to run through the mountains?"

As he spoke, Mo Tang gestured at the dress she wore, which had already been torn in several places.

Xiao Yi Xian's face turned from pale to red, and she could only let out a helpless sigh.

"Then... then... don't let your hands wander! Otherwise... otherwise, I definitely won't let you off!"

Mo Tang immediately declared righteously, "What kind of person do you take me, Mo Tang, for?! I am, at the very least, a true gentleman who remains unmoved with a woman in his arms. How could I take advantage of such a chance to molest a lady?"

Seeing this fellow actually put on an expression that seemed to say, You have insulted my character, so you should apologize, Xiao Yi Xian nearly failed to catch her breath from the anger lodged in her chest...

"Heh! As if I'd believe that! Where have you put your paw...?!"

"Cough, cough... A mistake, a mistake. Your waist is just too smooth. If I hold you tighter, it won't happen again..."

Mo Tang hurriedly raised his hand, which had slipped somewhat lower, and argued shamelessly.

"You...! Hmph..."

Xiao Yi Xian was mortified with embarrassment and anger, yet she had no way to deal with this thick-skinned fellow.

The image she had formed of him as a refined young master from a great clan was instantly shattered. All that remained was the image of a lecherous rogue!

Mo Tang had not been a virgin in his previous life, but neither was he a seasoned womanizer...

Especially not when facing a woman as exceptional as Xiao Yi Xian...

When she had crashed into his arms earlier, it had felt as though she had struck the very tip of his heart, making it tremble fiercely.

He took a deep breath and suppressed the restless heat stirring within him. His arm tightened around her soft body, then beneath the girl's flushed face, he activated the wings on his back and shot straight into the sky!

Once they reached the outskirts of the Demonic Beast Mountain Range, they gradually began encountering more people.

Mo Tang put away his wings and headed toward Qingshan Town together with Xiao Yi Xian.

Along the way, they encountered the mercenaries who had helped search for Xiao Yi Xian. The girl thanked every one of them with her purest smile, leaving those rough men so excited that they did not know what to do.

Watching it all from the side, Mo Tang truly understood why this girl was so beloved.

After all, no one disliked pretty girls...

Especially one as kind and pure as her. Her smile could drive away every evil and dark thought.

However, after many people returned to Qingshan Town, they suddenly discovered that while they had been gone for barely half a day, the entire town had undergone earth-shaking changes!

The three great mercenary groups that had long dominated the entire town had actually been wiped out in just a few short hours...

Now, there were no longer any three great mercenary groups in Qingshan Town. There was only one new "Qingshan Mercenary Group."

Well, the reason it had been given such a distinctly local name was because Mo Tang truly did not want to waste time on this sort of thing. Coupled with his difficulty naming things, he simply used the town's name.

In any case, this mercenary group existed to help Mo Tang manage the town, so the name fit perfectly.

At this time, the headquarters of the Qingshan Mercenary Group was the former grounds of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group...

On the square, the remaining elites of the three great mercenary groups had all been gathered together.

Mo Tang strolled leisurely, looking at the traces of battle around them that had not yet been cleaned up. He asked Zhang Fang, who was half a step behind him, "How many people are left in the three great mercenary groups?"

Zhang Fang immediately replied, "The three great mercenary groups had a total of four hundred and seventy-eight members. Fewer than a hundred could truly be considered elites, but all members had reached the Dou Zhe level. Overall, their quality is fairly decent."

"However, because quite a few of them were unwilling to submit, I led people to kill one hundred and eighty-six of them. Among them was one Nine-star Fighter, as well as thirty elites at Five-Star Dou Practitioner and above.

"The new Qingshan Mercenary Group now has nearly three hundred members, including three Dou Shi. The strongest is Mu She, the former leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, a two-star Dou Shi. The other two are both one-star Dou Shi."

Mo Tang frowned.

To be honest, if he had not lacked manpower, he truly would not have thought much of this rabble.

The strongest was merely a two-star Dou Shi. He had more than ten strong individuals of that level in his Guard Squad!

"Mm, you will have to handle the next matters as well. Integrate these people as quickly as possible. Kill anyone disobedient outright. I do not have time to waste here with a bunch of trash.

"Also, there should be several three-star Dou Shi among the guards who came with us this time, right? Pick someone reliable and steady who can keep them in line, and have him become the new leader of this mercenary group."

Zhang Fang froze at those words, then was immediately overjoyed.

After all, the guards who had accompanied them this time were all Zhang Fang's trusted subordinates.

Mo Tang's arrangement was practically telling Zhang Fang outright that Qingshan Town would henceforth fall under his control. How could he not be delighted?

Still, delighted as he was, Zhang Fang kept a solemn expression. "Yes! This subordinate will certainly not disappoint you, my lord!"

"Mm..."

Mo Tang merely gave a brief acknowledgment.

When they reached the square, Mo Tang looked at the former members of the three great mercenary groups standing in neat ranks, his sharp gaze sweeping across every person.

At the front of the formation stood the former leaders of the three great mercenary groups, all strong individuals at the Dou Shi level.

Yet the instant Mo Tang's gaze fell upon them, even Mu She shuddered, and an icy chill spread from the depths of his heart throughout his entire body!
