Xihe's "Confession"

"Big Brother Di Jun wants me to make nice with Li Mo?"

A tremor flashed through Xihe's beautiful, expectant eyes, and her delicate body shivered slightly.

Her heart already belonged to Di Jun, yet now he was asking her to make nice with Li Mo.

What was she to do?

Di Jun's expression turned serious. He turned around and said meaningfully, "Li Mo possesses the Golden Crow bloodline. Not only has he mastered the Solar True Fire, but he has also comprehended the Golden Crow Transforming into Rainbow Technique within three thousand years."

"Furthermore, I've heard about his battle with Dang Kang and the Heavenly Dog. His mastery of the Rainbow Transformation Technique is incredibly refined. If his cultivation realm were comparable to ours, his speed would be no slower than ours."

"And if his realm were to reach the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level! No! No! He only needs to reach the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, and he'll be able to stand on his own and surpass both Tai Yi and me!"

As soon as he said this, Xihe's eyes were filled with shock.

This... this is impossible, right?

Is Di Jun telling the truth? If it's true, then it's truly terrifying.

Xihe asked in confusion, "What does this have to do with Big Brother asking his little sister to make nice with Li Mo?"

At this point, Di Jun couldn't help but sigh, "Little sister, you don't know. Although Li Mo carries the Golden Crow bloodline, he is naturally timid. For some reason, he doesn't possess the domineering aura that my brother and I have."

"This fellow secretly always thinks about how to escape from the Demon Race and avoid going to the battlefield. Little sister, I need you to tie him closely to us!"

"Help me!"

Di Jun said, bowing to Xihe excitedly.

These words were merely what everyone saw on the surface.

The actual situation was that Di Jun wanted to keep Li Mo close to eavesdrop on his thoughts.

There was no other way; Li Mo's thoughts were incredibly accurate.

They had brought Di Jun immense benefits.

Seeing Di Jun like this, Changxi bit her crystal-clear, smooth red lips and took a deep breath. "Big Brother's request is my bounden duty, little sister."

With that, she turned and left.

Beside the Eight Treasures Merit Dragon Pool.

Li Mo was lying on the ground, sleeping and drooling.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a pack of spicy strips as a reward for lying flat."

Startled, Li Mo woke up.

Overjoyed, he directly took out the spicy strips and began eating them happily.

This scene made others incredibly envious.

"Lady Xihe is here!"

The surrounding guards saw this and their eyes widened.

"What is Lady Xihe doing here?"

"Could she be here to use the Eight Treasures Merit Dragon Pool?"

"That's unlikely, right? The Eight Treasures Merit Dragon Pool still has spiritual roots supporting it; using it now wouldn't have much effect."

"Why are you asking so many questions? We just need to perform well in front of Lady Xihe."

"Lady Xihe is truly too beautiful."

Xihe walked slowly, her every step graceful, her swaying curves causing people to stare.

However, at this moment, one figure completely failed to notice Xihe.

That person was Li Mo!

Li Mo was stuffing his face, happily eating the spicy strips.

"This is too delicious! It's only because of the System that I can eat such tasty food. The food in the Great Desolation is simply flavorless, a pile of garbage."

"Li Mo is actually so crude!"

"How can he be like this?"

"Lady Xihe will surely be disgusted with him."

"He'll inevitably be punished by Lady Xihe. Lady Xihe is Di Jun's sworn sister; if others can't deal with him, can't Lady Xihe do something?"

The crowd whispered.

However, Xihe's lips curved into a smile, her eyes like a pool of autumn water. She said to Li Mo, "Li Mo!"

Li Mo started, and with a whoosh, he stood up, hiding the spicy strips behind his back.

"Lady Xihe... why are you here? Is something wrong?"

Damn it! This woman isn't trying to steal my spicy strips, is she?

Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're good-looking.

"Li Mo is about to be punished!"

"Definitely!"

"Eating while on guard duty? If I don't punish you, who will?"

However, what Xihe said next left everyone dumbfounded.

"I have something to discuss with you. Come with me."

With that, she didn't wait for Li Mo's agreement and waved her sleeve.

A faint, ethereal energy swirled around Li Mo, lifting him and taking him away.

The group of guards started chattering amongst themselves.

"What's going on? He was taken away."

"They're not punishing him and want to talk in private!"

"Could it be that Lady Xihe is going to take Li Mo away to be her personal guard?"

"Whoa, that's actually possible!"

"Li Mo's going places. A personal guard for Lady Xihe, I want that too! I'd gladly brave fire and water, lay down my life for Lady Xihe."

In an instant, their jealousy towards Li Mo deepened even further.

Li Mo's head spun, the scenery before his eyes changed, and he found himself in an empty room.

He stood up straight and looked at Xihe before him. "Lady Xihe, what is it? Why couldn't we discuss it by the Dragon Transformation Pool?"

This woman is strange! How did she see me eating spicy strips? She definitely wants my spicy strips.

In the adjacent room, Di Jun, who had concealed his aura and presence, looked confused.

"Spicy strips? What are spicy strips?"

He transmitted his voice to Xihe. "Sister Xihe, let's get straight to the point."

"Big Brother, what if Li Mo refuses?" Xihe asked.

"Sister Xihe's beauty is unmatched among all beings in the Great Desolation. No one would refuse her," Di Jun transmitted.

He muttered to himself, Li Mo is a lecher; how could he possibly refuse? He'll probably pounce on her.

Xihe nodded, her distant mountain-like eyebrows framing a pair of large, captivating eyes that held a smile. "Li Mo, I've noticed you for a long time. Your cultivation advanced incredibly quickly when you were in Purple Heaven Palace, and I admire you greatly."

Many people admire me, who do you think you are? I really need to keep a low profile from now on, or I'll keep getting noticed.

Li Mo grumbled in confusion, not understanding Xihe's intentions.

In his mind, Xihe was going to be Di Jun's wife, so he never thought she'd be interested in him.

"Furthermore, your composure when facing Shang Yang's scheme this time was remarkable. Not only that, but you've also comprehended the Golden Crow Transforming into Rainbow Technique and mastered the Solar True Fire. Given time, you might even grow to a level comparable to my brothers, Di Jun and Tai Yi."

Xihe continued to praise him.

Hearing this, Li Mo felt a surge of happiness.

I'm going to become a Saint in the future. Beautiful Xihe, what are you waiting for? Just say what you want! I still need to go lie down.

As if hearing Li Mo's thoughts, Xihe said, "I wish to become Dao companions with you. What do you think, Li Mo?"

The moment she spoke, Li Mo felt as if struck by lightning, his mind a thunderclap on level ground.

He instantly froze in place!
