Ye Jiu, with a smile on her face as she sipped soup, would probably never know that the man by her side had once harbored such a terrifying thought.
However, it was understandable. If Sikong Mo really had been such an agreeable and gentle man, he wouldn’t have left such a terrifying impression in the hearts of others.
Rumors might not always be true, but sometimes, they did have some basis.
Sikong Mo’s appetite was usually average, but this time, he ate a lot, so much that even he felt somewhat embarrassed.
Yet Ye Jiu just smiled, not mentioning how she had also eaten until she could eat no more the first time.
After finishing everything Ye Jiu had brought out, Ye Jiu deliberately asked Sikong Mo, "Are you full? Do you want some more?"
Sikong Mo, with a smile, lightly touched her nose, "Are you deliberately making fun of me?"
"Not at all, I’m serious," Ye Jiu said, and then felt a warm flow from the food she had just eaten spreading throughout her body.
At the same time, Sikong Mo also felt something unusual.
Touching the parts of his body nourished by the warm flow, Sikong Mo asked, "Is this what you call Spiritual Energy?"
"Mm-hmm..." Ye Jiu nodded. "You just need to activate your Inner Strength and absorb it."
Meanwhile, Ye Jiu, holding the Jade Pendant on the Trading Device, took a look and reluctantly handed it to Sikong Mo, "Every time, I can only call you in with this thing. This Jade Pendant must be the medium that allows you to enter the space. Take it with you; perhaps, even without me calling, you can come in."
As his cold heart gradually warmed, Sikong Mo took the Jade Pendant and asked Ye Jiu, "Won’t you miss it?"
"Of course, I feel quite heartbroken right now," Ye Jiu pouted, holding her chest with an exaggerated expression.
Sikong Mo handed the Jade Pendant back to her, "Then let’s keep the Jade Pendant in the space, so whenever you want to find me, you can do so at any time."
Ye Jiu hadn’t expected that, suddenly feeling wronged, "You’re really no fun. I was just joking."
It was a gift already given, and since it originally belonged to him, she wouldn’t be so petty as to take it back.
"I know," Sikong Mo looked straight at her, "I just don’t want you to feel uncomfortable, even if it’s for me!"
With just one sentence, Ye Jiu’s initial thoughts suddenly shifted.
"Oh!" Ye Jiu suddenly remembered, "You seem unable to take things from here out with you. I’m not sure if the Jade Pendant can be taken out either!"
Then, in front of Ye Jiu, Sikong Mo suddenly disappeared within the space.
Watching this scene, Ye Jiu couldn’t decide whether to cry or laugh.
The item she had given could be taken out by him, but from then on, this space was no longer just hers alone; she felt a faint sense of loss in her heart.
Just as she was sighing, Sikong Mo suddenly reappeared within the space.
And her face, still showing her regret, was caught squarely by him.
Ye Jiu quickly adjusted her expression, but thinking about how her petty side had been seen by him still made her feel somewhat embarrassed, "Well... it’s good you can move freely now. Transporting food will save a lot of trouble from now on."
Compared to Ye Jiu’s reluctance, Sikong Mo felt even greater loss, "I’ve said, don’t make yourself uncomfortable, even for me."
Her reluctance only showed that his place in her heart was still not enough, which greatly dissatisfied Sikong Mo.
