Li Xiaomou, having ensnared the other party with her charm magic, gently brushed the woman’s face and murmured to herself, “Although I don’t know her, I feel like I’ve seen her somewhere before.”
Under the influence of the charm spell, the woman was trapped, as helpless as a bird in a cage, completely at Li Xiaomou’s mercy. However, what Li Xiaomou failed to notice was a faint, dark blue glint hidden deep within this familiar woman’s eyes.
That’s right, this was none other than Su Mo. He had used the Bagua Mirror to disguise himself, all to get close to Li Xiaomou.
“Hey, sister, do you like women?” Li Xiaomou used her slender, delicate fingers to lift Su Mo’s chin, her gaze tinged with provocation.
Su Mo swallowed hard.
Although his willpower was strong and he possessed Yin Fire, at his core, he was still a young man in the prime of his youth. Having some reaction was perfectly normal.
“Seems I guessed right.” Li Xiaomou’s laughter was exceptionally captivating, possessing a deadly allure to men.
Su Mo couldn’t help but think to himself: Woman, you’re playing with fire!
“What a shame. You’re here to kill me. Otherwise, I might have considered… satisfying you.”
Damn it, I can’t take this anymore.
Su Mo inwardly cursed his bad luck, suddenly broke free from the charm spell’s restraints, and grabbed Li Xiaomou by the shoulders.
His target was highly vigilant. Even though he moved quickly, she almost managed to escape.
The two, who had just shared a somewhat “ambiguous” moment, suddenly began to fight. However, with Su Mo gripping her shoulders, Li Xiaomou couldn’t use her full strength and was quickly subdued. Her veil was also torn off.
The only reason he showed restraint was because she was Luo Xiu’s wife. Given Su Mo’s usual style, he never hesitated to be ruthless, even towards a beautiful flower—though this one was indeed stunningly attractive.
“Behave.” Su Mo had subdued Li Xiaomou, but unexpectedly, she took the opportunity to collapse into his arms, her face slightly flushed, looking completely yielding and expectant.
???
Su Mo was horrified: “What are you doing?”
Li Xiaomou lowered her eyelids, two clear tears spilling from the corners of her eyes: “Isn’t this what you wanted?”
As she spoke, she actually leaned in to kiss him.
Su Mo’s mind went blank. He knocked her out with a single palm strike.
His heart was racing, visibly panicked. He clasped his hands together, incessantly muttering, “My sin, my sin…”
After calming down for a moment, Su Mo walked over for a closer look.
Li Xiaomou was truly beautiful. It wasn’t just her appearance; she possessed an innate sensuality deep in her bones, making it impossible to look away after just one glance. Thus, charm magic came naturally to her.
Su Mo frowned, deep in thought, a bad feeling growing in his heart.
Charm magic… the Charm Immortal. He hoped the two weren’t connected.
If he remembered correctly, the Charm Immortal was also C-class. While the Hundred Immortals Sect had relocated to America, she had stayed behind. It wouldn’t be far-fetched to say she was using this method to conceal her identity.
Just then, she gradually regained consciousness. The moment she opened her eyes and saw Su Mo beside her, her eyes reddened and she suddenly began to cry. “Wahh… I already agreed to you, and you still treated me like this? I never thought you’d be such a pervert.”
She cried while fussing with her clothes, as if he had truly wronged her.
Su Mo was exasperated: “Let’s be clear upfront, I didn’t do anything. If you dare try to blackmail me, I’ll—”
“What will you do? You took advantage of me, and now you want to deny it?” Li Xiaomou glared at him fiercely, her resentful gaze almost enough to finish Su Mo off right there.
“Damn it, I’m a woman! What advantage could I possibly take?” This was the first time Su Mo had ever admitted so vehemently that he was female.
“So what if you’re a woman? Who says women can’t…” Her voice grew weak, her pitiful appearance making it seem like something had actually happened.
Things had developed to this point, and Su Mo didn’t want to say more. If Li Xiaomou insisted he had [censored] her, he wouldn’t be able to clear his name even with ten mouths.
Tsk, tsk, tsk. Being with someone like this, Luo Xiu must lead a very “hard” life.
“I don’t want to waste words with you anymore. We’ll settle this with the Beidou organization.”
“You’re with Beidou too?” Su Mo raised an eyebrow. “What, you are too?”
Li Xiaomou’s eyes instantly reddened. “So we’re on the same side.”
Su Mo kept his distance, his tone unfriendly. “Stay away from me.”
“Then should I leave?” she said, shifting her feet as if to move away.
“Hey, hey, don’t even think about running.” Su Mo yanked her back again, this time with controlled force, not giving her a chance to get close. “You say you’re with Beidou. Prove it.”
Li Xiaomou produced her credentials without hesitation, then gestured towards him with her chin. “And yours?”
Su Mo instinctively reached for his white jade ring, but then he remembered—to hide his identity, he had taken the ring off and put it in his pocket. His credentials were in there too.
“Uh…” Su Mo forced himself to stay calm. “I forgot them.”
“Forgot them?” Li Xiaomou seized the chance to counterattack. “And you had the nerve to doubt me!”
Su Mo rubbed his nose and stayed silent.
“But it’s fine, I believe you. After all, you…” Li Xiaomou’s voice trailed off.
In her eyes, Su Mo was a girl, so this kind of joke seemed harmless. But only he knew the truth—if Ye Qingyi found out about this…
However, to extract more information and uncover her true identity, Su Mo decided to endure this charade a little longer.
He probed, “Are you single?”
Faced with such a direct question, Li Xiaomou squirmed coyly. “Of course…”
Heh. She’s already lying about the first question.
He asked another question. “Do you know Ye Qingyi?”
“No, I don’t. Why do you ask?”
“I have some history with her.” As he said this, anger flashed in his eyes, as if he truly held a grudge against Ye Qingyi.
“Oh~” Li Xiaomou made an expression that said I understand.
He asked a few more questions. Without exception, she lied every time, not uttering a single word of truth.
Su Mo was inwardly astonished, thinking he absolutely must dig out her true identity. Luo Xiu was just going to have to suffer for it.
In the thick, stagnant air, the smell of decay suddenly intensified. A figure in ancient attire came charging towards the two of them.
Su Mo punched it to the ground, only then noticing it wasn’t a living person, but a corpse, seemingly animated by some external force.
It wasn’t alone. They were coming from all directions.
With one hand, Su Mo kept a firm grip on Li Xiaomou to prevent her escape. With the other, he fought off the attacking corpses as if his arm were a divine weapon.
Li Xiaomou was quite obedient, showing no signs of trying to run. She even helped him fight the corpses.
Through their combined efforts, all the corpses assaulting them were defeated. But Su Mo didn’t let his guard down.
Before he came, Ye Qingyu had specifically warned him: the most terrifying things in the Death Mountains weren’t the corpses, but the death spirits. They often appeared alongside the corpses.
To maintain his disguise, he couldn’t use Yin Fire to attack. He could only ensure his own safety.
Su Mo glanced at the panting Li Xiaomou and said coldly, “If you don’t want to die, stay close. The enemies ahead won’t be so easy to deal with.”
Li Xiaomou watched his retreating figure, her gaze gradually growing distant and mesmerized.
