The next day at dawn.
Chu Mo blinked his hazy eyes rapidly to clear his vision, though his head still felt a bit dizzy. He instinctively reached out to grab something nearby, wanting to pull himself up.
Soft~
"Xiao Lv~"
He bumped into two soft, squishy things and didn't react in time, assuming it was Xiao Lv, so he pulled them directly into his embrace.
"Xiao Lv, are you cultivating? Why are you so soft? And so big?"
Tang Ya, deep in her sleep, felt the warm embrace and murmured in her dream: "Hmph~ nng."
The sound was as sweet as could be, enough to melt anyone's ears.
But Chu Mo had an immediate stress response. If Xiao Lv could make a sound like that, he could open his eyes. Upon seeing who he was holding, his heart began to pound, and he quickly scrambled backward.
"What's going on?"
Tang Ya lost her embrace, her lips pouting slightly as her small hands began to grope for the person who had just been holding her.
"Mmm."
She eventually pulled the quilt into her arms. A smile instantly appeared on her sleeping face, and fearing it might run away again, she lifted her fair, long leg to pin it down, revealing a perfect calf and bare foot that were not only pink and tender but also round and plump.
After doing so, she rubbed her small face against the quilt.
Seeing that he hadn't woken her up, Chu Mo finally let out a sigh of relief. Otherwise, he truly wouldn't know how to explain it. Weren't they just cultivating? How did it end up like this?
He closed his eyes, returning to his memories of last night to explore why things had turned out this way.
When Chu Mo had first sat down, Tang Ya was still acting normally. After they both consumed the medicinal pill, they began to cultivate.
During cultivation, a pale green light also emerged from Chu Mo's body, though the range was incomparable to Xiao Lv's; it only radiated a tiny bit around his body.
"Compared to this afternoon, the cultivation speed feels a bit slow."
After cultivating for 10 minutes, Tang Ya opened her eyes to ask Chu Mo, who was beside her.
However, Chu Mo, who was in the middle of cultivating, didn't respond at all. Tang Ya placed a hand to her lips and fell into thought, undergoing a simple brainstorm.
"Right, I need to get closer."
To avoid wasting the pill, Tang Ya crawled up and moved slowly across the bed until their postures were close once again.
Rustle, rustle~
After adjusting, Tang Ya sat directly on Chu Mo's lap, leaning against him.
What followed was the scene in Chu Mo's memory. Because there was no killing intent, he didn't forcibly interrupt his cultivation, and when he opened his eyes, the medicinal effect had already ended.
Shock!
How could Tang Ya be hugging him? If he hadn't been able to feel the fluctuations of soul power, he might have thought he was hugging himself while sleeping.
Fearing she might fall or that he would disturb her cultivation, he had also wrapped his arms around her slender waist...
The recollection ended, and Chu Mo smoothed his furrowed brows, having found the answer.
"Could this cultivation attraction be considered a sort of alternative succubus constitution?"
He looked at the girl beside him, whose sleeping posture was unrefined, revealing the skin of her waist.
He would have to get Xiao Lv back tonight; otherwise, this was just too inappropriate.
Although he had wicked thoughts about her, things were progressing too fast, and besides, he had to help Tang Ya get her revenge first.
Ding, ding, ding~
Hmm?
Sending so many messages early in the morning, and even tagging him—this had to be Meng Hongchen.
Since Tang Ya was still sleeping, Chu Mo leaned against the edge of the bed and opened the chat interface.
[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: Good morning everyone, is anyone awake?]
[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: Is anyone awake? Come chat.]
[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: @Revenge Girl, are you awake, classmate?]
[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: @Chu Mo, is the group owner awake? Do you have any more pills? I want to buy more.]
[Chu Mo: If you're awake, that's fine. Same price as yesterday; if you buy a lot, I can give you a discount.]
In her boudoir, Meng Hongchen lay on her stomach waiting for the message, gently swinging her calves, looking every bit the sweet young girl.
[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: Give me 50 to start with.]
"I'll take half of the 50 pills and sell them to my brother; that way I can make a profit on the price difference."
Meng Hongchen's expression was joyful, her eyes curving into crescent moons. She was incredibly happy; not only could she break even, but she might even make a tidy profit.
["Chu Mo sent a red packet to Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog".]
["Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog sent a red packet to Chu Mo".]
In less than a minute of trading, his savings had instantly increased by over 40,000.
Chu Mo nodded in satisfaction; medicinal pills were truly profitable.
If he wanted to make money, he would just keep selling them.
Recalling that he still had the Mystic Water Pill that Xu Sanshi had lost yesterday, he wondered if he could have Xiao Lv study it to see if the production costs could be compressed for batch manufacturing, allowing him to earn the price difference once more.
Besides, the effects of the Mystic Water Pill were quite good, and having only one made it difficult to distribute. Someone who wanted to start a harem of 30 people would need at least 30 pills.
[Revenge Girl: Oh my, Meng is so rich, actually buying so many pills. I've tried one too, and the effects are excellent.]
The one Ju Zi bought was consumed for cultivation during a quiet night; she had only finished her session that morning, and it was indeed faster than her usual cultivation progress.
If her usual progress for one night of cultivation was 2 points, it was 6 after taking the pill; the effect was quite significant.
[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: Hehe, how about you tell me your true identity, and I'll gift you five pills?]
Meng Hongchen had no money right now, but she was going to scam her brother soon and would be rolling in wealth shortly.
[Revenge Girl: No thanks, I usually don't have much of a presence anyway.]
[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: Fine, I won't force you. But we are from the same academy, so if you change your mind, come find me; the offer always stands. I'm off to scam my brother for money.]
[Chu Mo: 6]
Seeing this, Chu Mo finally understood why the other party had transferred the money so directly; it turned out there was a scheme behind it—she wanted to act as a middleman.
[Grilled Fish Girl: Brother Chu Mo, can I come find you to cultivate today?]
[Chu Mo: This... I can't. I promised Nannan that I would go buy gifts to visit her mother.]
[Dong'er is Not a Girl: Yo yo yo, you only met yesterday and you're already going to meet the parents? That's a bit too thirsty, isn't it!]
Seeing this, Chu Mo didn't understand why the other party hated him so much.
A girl's heart is hard to understand, but I know she's a tsundere; maybe she's just taken a liking to me, Chu Mo thought narcissistically to himself. Of course, this deduction was wrong.
[Chu Mo: Uh, it's something I already promised.]
[Grilled Fish Girl: Alright then, is the evening when you get back okay? I can sleep on the floor.]
That's right, if she moved her floor bedding over, wouldn't they avoid situations like that? Xiao Lv would be back tonight, and its domain range was quite large, so something like that wouldn't happen again.
[Chu Mo: Sure, it is effective for you, after all.]
Hmm~
After finishing, he hopped off the bed, stretched, and went to wash up. When he returned, Tang Ya still showed no signs of waking up, but it wasn't early anymore, and he needed to go retrieve Xiao Lv.
He thought for a moment, left a note, and then departed, locking the door tightly behind him.
"Hmph!"
As soon as he stepped out, he saw Wang Dong'er, dressed in men's clothing, staring right at him.
"Uh~ I'm curious why you're targeting me like this. I don't think I've offended you, have I?"
Chu Mo couldn't help but ask the question that had been weighing on his mind.
However, Chu Mo would not be getting an answer right now; Wang Dong'er let out another cold snort and turned to leave.
"Hmph!"
