Chapter 4: A Little Help

Mo Xiuyao took the chestnut, and with a little force from his slender fingers, the chestnut shell broke open, revealing the golden chestnut meat inside. After tasting one, Mo Xiuyao was deep in thought. “It’s easier to peel than the chestnuts I’ve eaten before, and it’s sweeter than the general roasted chestnuts. Not only is it sweet, but it’s also very sticky.”

“I applied oil and sugar when I roasted it, and I didn’t use an open fire either, so it’s more fragrant.” As Song Zhi spoke, she took out a half-eaten roasted sweet potato. “It’s delicious even when it’s cold.”

Mo Xiuyao took it and tasted it. He finally looked at Song Zhi. This look encouraged Song Zhi greatly! As expected, in this world of food, even if Mo Xiuyao was the Demon Lord, he had not eaten much good food! Just as she was about to take out something else, Mo Xiuyao interrupted her, “Tell me, why did you come to the Demon’s Note Valley?”

After Mo Xiuyao asked her this question, Song Zhi’s courage dissipated a little. She replied, “I’d like to ask you for a small favor.”

“I can’t get out.” Mo Xiuyao pointed at the huge seal above.

“I don’t need to go out. It’s a small help that I can help you without leaving the Demon’s Note Valley,” Song Zhi said hurriedly.

“Oh?” Mo Xiuyao played with the chestnut shell in his hand.

“It’s just that… I want to invite you to perform dual cultivation with me a few times.” Song Zhi’s face was full of flattery.

“… What did you say?” Mo Xiuyao stopped playing with the chestnut shell and asked Song Zhi calmly.

Song Zhi almost turned around and ran away from Mo Xiuyao’s stare, but when she thought of how she would bleed to death in 20 days, she gave up the idea of running away and stammered as she explained to Mo Xiuyao, “I’m afraid I’ve been poisoned by a Gu, and I have an all-yang physique. Only by dual cultivating with someone with an all-yin physique can I survive. If it’s possible, I’m afraid…”

Dual cultivation meant that a man and a woman had sex and blended together.

Before Song Zhi could finish her sentence, the chestnut shell in Mo Xiuyao’s hand turned into powder. He looked at Song Zhi and asked even more calmly as he said, “What did you just say?”

Song Zhi, “…”

After Mo Xiuyao spoke, he disappeared without waiting for Song Zhi to answer. Song Zhi knew that it would not be easy for the demon to perform dual cultivation with her. Hence, she was not disappointed. After getting up from the ground, she patted her butt and started to wander around, planning to familiarize herself with the nearby environment.

The trees in the Demon’s Note Valley were all tall and luxuriant, and each of them reached into the clouds. Thanks to these big trees, the whole valley was covered by the canopy, which prevented the sun from shining in. Therefore, the climate in the valley was humid, and the fallen leaves piled up on the ground were more than ten centimeters thick. When one stepped on them, they were soft and loose, and they made a crunching, splashing sound.

Song Zhi observed as she walked. Unknowingly, she arrived in front of a small stream. Although the sky above the stream was also covered by a tree crown, there were no trees growing around the stream. It was a very clean open space. The stream water was clear and the flow was stable. There were small fish swimming slowly in it, and even the fish scales were clearly visible.

Song Zhi recognized it at a glance. These fishes were not big, but their meat was very fresh and delicious. It was delicious whether it was fried or stewed.

Song Zhi rubbed her hands and tiptoed to the side of the stream. Just as she was about to go into the water to fish, she saw a face on the mirror-like surface of the water. She cried out in shock and sat on the shore in horror. What was that?

Song Zhi swallowed a few times and stared at the water without moving. However, there was nothing on the water. Just when she was sure that she did not see wrongly, even though it was just a quick glance, the face’s appearance was already imprinted in her mind. An oval face, willow-like eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and red lips. It was a very bright and beautiful face. The only thing was that those eyes seemed a little familiar. It seemed like he was teasing her?

Song Zhi paused and looked down at her body for the first time. However, her line of sight passed straight through her body to the fallen leaves behind her. Song Zhi was stunned for a moment. She seemed to have thought of something and went to the water again.

As expected, she saw the same face again. There was only one face and nothing below the neck. Song Zhi’s lips twitched. The reflection in the water also twitched the corner of her mouth.

Song Zhi laughed out of anger! She had only taken off the invisibility cloak’s hat, but she was still wearing the rest of the cloak! So, in Mo Xiuyao’s eyes, she was just a floating head that could still talk!

Song Zhi took a deep breath. She did not dare to imagine how horrifying the scene that Mo Xiuyao saw was. After she took off her invisibility cloak, she rolled up her pants and sleeves and stepped into the stream.
