The cultivation level broke through to Late Dark Force, Constitution increased significantly, and Mo Yun's speed was much faster.

Blood Qi drummed and ran all the way, Mo Yun was like a black lightning, so fast that only its afterimage could be seen, and it returned to Yellow Maple Town in half an hour.

It was dark at night, and the streets in the town were empty. There were only a few lonely lanterns hanging under the eaves, emitting a soft light.

Mo Yun kept walking, passing through several familiar alleys, and soon arrived at the Wutong Alley entrance.

From a distance, he saw a slender figure standing at the door of his courtyard, standing on tiptoes and looking towards the entrance of the alley.

The cold wind was biting, making the figure's skirt rustle, but she seemed not to feel it, her eyes fixed on the direction of the alley.

It is sister Mo Yiyi.

At this moment, her face was red from the cold, her hands were folded in her sleeves, and she stamped her feet from time to time to keep warm. The moment she saw Mo Yun, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Mo Yun's heart felt hot, and he took three steps at a time to meet her, with distress and reproach in his tone. "Sister, why are you standing outside in such a cold weather?"

Mo Yiyi was trembling slightly from the cold, but he had a bright smile on his face, "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. I'm thinking that you will definitely come back today..."

Mo Yun held her cold hands and encouraged Blood Qi to drive away the cold. He said helplessly, "Then you can't wait at the door all the time. What if you get frozen in such a cold weather?"

Mo Yiyi smiled and said, "Sister didn't wait all the time, she only came out to watch for a while occasionally. Isn't it just a coincidence that she was waiting for you?"

Mo Yun shook his head helplessly.

He knew his sister's temperament best. He said he only came out to take a look, but in fact he was afraid that he would come out and take a look every now and then.

Medical conditions are so poor these days that a cold can kill an ordinary person.

On such a cold day, if you stand at the door for a while, the cold air will enter your body and you will definitely get sick.

Of course, now that he is First-Grade Alchemist, it is not a problem to refine some potions to dispel colds and cure diseases, so that his sister will not really lose her life due to a cold.

But no matter what, the uncomfortable feeling is unavoidable and it will take several days to get over it.

"Come into the house quickly. Sister has prepared the food and wine. She is just waiting for you to come back..."

Mo Yiyi pulled Mo Yun into the house.

Mo Yun asked as he walked, "Sister, did you remember to take one pill of the Blood-Nourishing Pill I gave you last time every day?"

Mo Yiyi nodded. "Yeah, I take it every day. The pill is really good. I feel that my complexion has improved a lot in the past few days, and I feel more energetic at work."

Mo Yun looked at her sister's face carefully and found that her face was indeed a little more rosy than before, and she looked much more energetic.

He nodded with satisfaction, took out a small celadon bottle from his arms, and stuffed it into Mo Yiyi's hand. "Sister, this bottle is Beauty Pill. Take it every two or three days. It can beautify your face and prolong your life."

He took the time to refine this thing at Medicinal Fields.

"Ah?"

Mo Yiyi was startled, and subconsciously put the porcelain bottle back. "It can also beautify the skin and prolong life. Doesn't this cost a lot of money? Little brother, I don't need these, so you can take them and return them..."

Mo Yun pushed the porcelain bottle back. "Sister, I made this by myself. I just figured it out. It's not worth anything."

He paused and added, "Didn't I tell you before? When I first started working at Spirit Herb Garden, I learned a lot of skills in preparing potions and refining Elixirs. These were all made using common medicinal materials in the Mountain Manor and didn't cost anything."

Mo Yiyi was stunned and accepted it.

Soon, the two came to the main room.

The charcoal fire in the room was burning brightly, and the warm air rushed to my face. It was like a completely different world from the cold outside.

A table of wine and food has been placed on the table, including three dishes and one soup, all of which Mo Yun likes to eat.

A pot of stewed pig's trotters was placed in the center of the table. The soup was thick and white, and the pig's trotters were stewed until crispy. The skin had an attractive sauce-colored luster, and a few wolfberry berries were embellished in it. The aroma was fragrant.

Mo Yiyi smiled while placing the dishes and chopsticks, "Just now when the food was ready, I thought of going to the door to see if my little brother was back, but I didn't expect to see him."

Looking at the still steaming meal, Mo Yun finally believed that his sister had indeed not been waiting for him at the door.

"Eat, eat." Mo Yiyi put the chopsticks into his hands, picked up a large piece of pig's trotters and put it into his bowl.

"Your favorite big pig's trotters, try it. I added some tangerine peel to relieve the greasiness."

Mo Yun took a bite, the pig's trotters were stewed until they were soft and glutinous, and the bones and flesh were separated with a slight sip. The rich meaty aroma had a hint of sweetness from the tangerine peel, which made the mouth water.

"It's delicious!" Mo Yun exclaimed sincerely, "Sister, your skills are not inferior to those of the chefs in the restaurant."

After eating and drinking, Mo Yiyi packed up the dishes and went back to the room to settle the accounts.

It's the end of the year, and all the accounts in the shop will be settled tomorrow, the credit owed will be collected, suppliers' money will be paid, and the wages of the clerks will be calculated. She is very busy these days.

Mo Yun came to the courtyard to practice martial arts.

First Nameless Fist Technique, then Body-Guarding Art, and finally Black Tiger Leap.

After completing a set of procedures, it was already the second update before I knew it.

Mo Yun After finishing his work, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked back. The oil lamp in his sister's room was still on.

Mo Yun walked over and knocked on the door. "Sister, don't stay up too late, see you tomorrow."

Mo Yiyi's voice came from inside, with a bit of exhaustion. "Sister, I'll be done with it soon, little brother, please go to sleep first."

Mo Yun: "I can't sleep, so I went out for a walk. Sister, don't hold the door open for me for a while. I'll climb over the wall."

Mo Yiyi:"..."

"Then please be safe, it's not a peaceful night."

Now Mo Yiyi also knows what his younger brother is capable of and will not interfere with him in many matters.

"Okay, I'll be back in a minute." Mo Yun responded, tapped his foot lightly, rose up from the ground, climbed over the courtyard wall lightly, and disappeared into the night.

The night is as dark as ink, and the cold wind howls.

Mo Yun walked quickly along the empty streets and soon arrived at Sky Wolf Gang's residence on the outskirts of the city.

Just like the previous times, when the guard on duty at the door saw that the person was Mo Yun, he saluted respectfully without saying a word and led him through several courtyards to the small single-family courtyard of Black Wolf.

The study room was brightly lit with candles.

Black Wolf was still sitting behind the desk as usual, holding a book of poems that he had read countless times in his hand, shaking his head as he read.

Hearing the footsteps, Black Wolf looked up, and a smile suddenly broke out on that rough, dark face.

He closed the book with a snap and strode forward to greet him, "Brother Mo! You are finally back!"

Mo Yun didn't talk nonsense and got straight to the point. "Has anyone come from Inner City recently?"
