"Has the war started?" Although he had anticipated it, Ye Jiu was still astonished.
When two countries waged war, it was the common people who suffered the most.
At the frontier border this time, who knew how many would perish.
Sikong Mo walked over and naturally took Ye Jiu’s small hand, "I might be very busy from now on, so if I don’t have time to come here, don’t blame me, okay?"
Ye Jiu shook her head, "I’m not a child anymore, how could I be so unreasonable?"
After saying that, she suddenly became speechless.
Although her mind was that of an adult, her body was still that of a child!
With an awkward smile, Ye Jiu asked him, "This time, I haven’t disturbed you, have I?"
Sikong Mo shook his head, "You will never disturb me, because your disturbance is the joy I desperately seek."
Ye Jiu hurriedly turned her back, not daring to let him see the slight pride in her eyes.
Wasn’t this man known for his indifference to women? How could he speak such smooth love words?
It seemed as if it was just an instinctive reaction that didn’t need to pass through the brain.
Ye Jiu didn’t know that Sikong Mo truly wasn’t adept at sweet-talking; what he said was simply what was in his heart.
Only when she finally managed to control her expression, did Ye Jiu turn back, walk over, and take Sikong Mo’s hand, "I called you here this time because I have something great for you, and you’re definitely going to like it."
"What is it?" Sikong Mo asked, feeling a warm surge in his heart.
"Come quickly." Ye Jiu pulled Sikong Mo along for a few steps, then took out a sealed container from the storage compartment.
Upon opening the container, a rich aroma instantly filled the air, and even a man like Sikong Mo, who was accustomed to extravagant delicacies, couldn’t help but swallow his saliva subconsciously.
"This is..." If it was merely a pleasant scent, it would not have been enough to make him react so.
But this fragrance, once inhaled, seemed to invigorate the spirit.
It even swept away days of fatigue in an instant, making it hard to resist taking a few more whiffs of the sweet air.
"This is a good thing, the flesh of a Spiritual Beast, containing powerful inner strength. Eating it can help to increase one’s abilities. Sadly, I can’t eat much of it, or it would be hard to digest and would make me uncomfortable. Even so, my inner strength has grown a lot recently." Ye Jiu explained while she took out bowls and chopsticks, serving a bowl for both Sikong Mo and herself.
Passing Sikong Mo his share, she urged, "Go on, taste it. I made it myself."
"Okay." Sikong Mo suddenly chuckled, then took a sip, "Jiujiu’s cooking is really good; it’s delicious."
At that moment, no matter how magical the food, even if it were poison, if she were the one serving it, he would have willingly accepted it.
Sikong Mo felt, perhaps, Ye Jiu was the tribulation of his life, the kind he could not get past.
For some unfathomable reason, he just wanted to be good to her, and even...
He wanted to possess her, to be the only one in her eyes and heart.
Concealing the shadow of dark emotion within his heart, Sikong Mo knew he definitely couldn’t act on those thoughts, or else it would only push her further away.
Ye Jiu’s nature was not that of someone who could be caged; thus, he couldn’t harbor such thoughts.
What he wanted was for her to be willing.
Fortunately, he had time, and she was still young. Everything was still possible; there was no need to rush.
Seeing Ye Jiu’s smile blooming like flowers, Sikong Mo smiled as well.
Look, wasn’t she slowly changing for him now?
From her initial instinctive flight to now, no longer refusing his closeness.
He would succeed in making her unable to leave him, with only him in her eyes and heart!
