Huo Lin’er stared at the sky in a daze, then she sighed and said, “Actually, I couldn’t tell who the perpetrator was. We were both obsessed with the same man. He was the pride of the Tianshan Sword Sect and almost all of the female disciples under the same sect had a crush on him. After that…we got together and then he made a promise that we’d be cultivation partners. Unfortunately, he was too talented and I couldn’t catch up with the progress of his cultivation base. He was quickly noticed by the senior management of the sect to be groomed as a true disciple, then our distance grew until we became strangers…”

While Huo Lin’er seemed to think about her sad past, tears welled up in her beautiful eyes.

“What happened after that?” Ji Mo asked, now taking on the role of a listener.

“After that, Lu Susu used her ways to be close to him and finally conquered his heart. I wasn’t that sad at that time. After all, I knew that the gap between us was too great, so it was impossible.” Huo Lin’er smiled bitterly. “When Lu Susu found out about me and that person’s past, she started to dislike me and made life hard for me. She also acted intimately with that person whenever I was around. In fact, I came to Tianyuan Academy to teach the outer disciples to avoid them, but not long after that, I heard that that guy dumped Lu Susu…”

‘Oh my god, he left two beautiful girls consecutively! He’s my idol,’ thought Ji Mo in astonishment. Given the beauty of Huo Lin’er and Lu Susu, they could conquer any man, but that person had abandoned them one after another. He had to be admired as he was indeed a man’s idol.

However, in front of Huo Lin’er, he had to speak from her point of view, “Hmph, you don’t need this type of man. Sooner or later, I’ll go to the Tianshan Sword Sect to teach this playboy a lesson to avenge you.”

“Really?” Huo Lin’er looked up at Ji Mo.

“Of course!” Ji Mo nodded seriously.

“Do you know why he did it?” Huo Lin’er suddenly asked. 

“Err…Could he possibly prefer men over women?” Ji Mo simply guessed.

Who would have guessed that Huo Lin’er bitterly nodded and said, “You’re right. After he was injured during a practice session outside, his sexuality changed. He became crazy about men. Maybe it was already sowed in his subconsciousness from the beginning. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have abandoned Lu Susu. Even when we were together, he refused to be intimate with me.”

“Err…really? Then, we shall talk about revenge later.” Ji Mo smiled in embarrassment. He did not want to be in contact with this kind of person, not out of despise, but rather out of the fear of assimilation. 

Huo Lin’er suddenly stood up with a struggle and looked into the distance where a sword flash was flickering.

“Oh no! Lu Susu has caught up. My true Qi has been frozen and I need a long time to recover. Ji Mo, you must help me.” Huo Lin’er looked towards Ji Mo whom she could only rely on now.

“Come, climb onto my back.” Ji Mo decided at once. He squatted down and planned to carry Huo Lin’er away. If Lu Susu found out that Huo Lin’er was badly injured, then her death would be inevitable.

Huo Lin’er hesitated while she looked at Ji Mo’s skinny back and blushed at the thought of the intimate actions that they shared when she had fallen to the ground earlier.

“Quickly,” Ji Mo hurriedly said as he say the sword flash got closer under the night sky.

Huo Lin’er stopped hesitating and climbed onto Ji Mo’s back. This close contact naturally made Huo Lin’er hold onto Ji Mo’s neck. 

“Hold tight. I can run really fast,” Ji Mo turned his head slightly, breathing in the fragrance that Huo Lin’er’s body had to offer as he said with a slight smile. 

Huo Lin’er smirked and whispered into his ear, “This time, I’ll need to rely on you, little man…” In between her words, her gentle tone made Ji Mo’s heart flutter.

“This little man sometimes has great use,” Ji Mo said, and without continuing his flirtatious banter, he activated the Celestial Devil Power in his legs. He stomped violently on the ground and his body dashed out at once. He was more agile than a leopard by leaps and bounds. His entire body became a shadow and they rapidly fled into the forest.

The wind howled in his ears as Ji Mo moved about in the forest like a ghost with tremendous speed, but there was not a single soul.

On Ji Mo’s back, Huo Lin’er clung onto Ji Mo’s neck with her arms, shocked by his speed. He had the type of speed and power that even a ninth-tier tempered body cultivator might not exhibit, what more while having another person on his back, but Ji Mo did it with ease.

“This chap had a breakthrough again. His cultivation speed is really fast. He’s such a freak,” Huo Lin’er mumbled. 

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Three beams of golden sword Qi shot past them from the back.

No matter how fast and silent Ji Mo was, Lu Susu still caught up with him. After all, Lu Susu was a Qi Plundering Boundary master and could travel on a sword which gave her a better advantage over him. Qi Plundering Boundary masters also had a keen vision, so despite being in a dense forest, she could notice Ji Mo immediately. 

“Huo Lin’er, I’d never have imagined that you’d find this outer disciple for protection. Do you think he can protect you?” Lu Susu arrived on a sword with grandeur. She had the perfect body and two long, fair legs that added to her seductiveness. 

Ji Mo did not even turn to look. His figure weaved and dodged among the three aggressive sword Qi beams. Then, he picked up his speed to go even faster than before. In a heartbeat, he was a hundred meters away. Even Lu Susu was surprised by his speed. 

“This kid’s hidden strength is quite shocking, but whatever it is, he’s still in the tempered body phase. I have plenty of ways to kill him.” Lu Susu laughed, but behind her manic laughter was intense murderous instinct.

Boom!

Lu Susu revealed a blood-red whip. When she cracked the whip, it let out a sonic boom. The red whip was like a spiritual snake as it extended towards Ji Mo. It was driven by Lu Susu’s True Qi and there were even dense barbs on it. 

If Ji Mo was hit, it would certainly split his flesh open. 

However, Lu Susu also seemed badly injured and there was a faint bloodstain at the corner of her lips. Traveling on the sword had also made her pale and she started to feel impatient since Ji Mo was still undefeated. 

‘It turns out that her injuries aren’t that light after all.’ Ji Mo smirked with a refreshed confidence of ditching her. 

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

The red whip that Lu Susu swung around in the middle of the night emitted an explosive sound throughout the dense forest. Those who were oblivious to what was happening were wondering what that sound was.

“God damn it! This woman is crazy to be chasing me for so long. Does she like me?” Ji Mo cursed as he ran for tens of kilometers, possibly even almost a hundred kilometers, but Lu Susu was still going after him. 

In front of him were the depths of Mount Luofu where the powerful demonic cultivators dwelled. Some of them were even more powerful than the Qi Plundering Boundary masters of a few tiers. Not to mention Ji Mo, but even if Huo Lin’er was in her heydays, she would not want to be caught in those depths. Some powerful demonic cultivators could even kill a cultivator on a similar level. 

“Forget about it, Little Ji Mo. Don’t go ahead anymore. It’s too dangerous. Just put me down and save yourself,” Huo Lin’er said with a little reluctance.

“Really? It’s touching for you to say that, but that’s way too cliche.” Ji Mo smiled bitterly and continued to move forward.

“There’s a cave in front. Let’s go there!” Ji Mo said. A cave appeared in front, and he crawled into it with Huo Lin’er on his back. 

“Fool, don’t go in! This could be a demonic beast’s nest!” Huo Lin’er’s expression changed instantly, but it was too late as Ji Mo had carried her into the cave.

Ji Mo had no choice. With Lu Susu hot on his heels, he could only move forward.
