Chapter 401: 401 was seduced by beauty Chapter 401: 401 was seduced by beauty Ye Jiu’s iron staff flashed before disappearing into space, her hands tightly embracing Sikong’s neck, relishing the sensation of flying through the air.

Ye Jiu had no idea where they were, only that it was beautiful.

Moonlight spilled like silver across the land, the surroundings pitch black, dotted with stars in the clear sky.

Below, there was a field of grass.

Around them, gaps wrapped in vines clearly marked a surrounding wall, and beside a stretch of lake water in front of them, there was a vine-entwined cave. Ye Jiu looked bewilderedly at Sikong Mo, who had been silent since their arrival, “Young Master Sikong, this place is…”

“This used to be my favorite place when I was a child,” he said. He just hadn’t come here anymore.

Ye Jiu was indifferent, not understanding why Sikong Mo suddenly mentioned this.

Time passed, and Sikong Mo seemed to be reminiscing about the past; Ye Jiu did not dare to speak, but then he suddenly said, “Let’s start.”

“Ah…” Ye Jiu snapped to and hurriedly nodded, “Oh, okay.”

Martial arts training was exhausting. Just practicing simple techniques made Ye Jiu quickly breath heavily and flop like a lump of mud.

Sikong Mo, standing not far in front of her, frowned deeply, clearly dissatisfied with her performance.

Good aptitude, but too little stamina.

This was Sikong Mo’s impression of Ye Jiu’s martial arts training.

“I can’t do it anymore, I can’t get up!” Ye Jiu’s voice, always tender and sweet, now sounded even more languorous and enticing due to her exhaustion.

Sikong Mo suddenly stepped forward, lifted Ye Jiu from the ground, and carried her towards the cave.

Ye Jiu, completely limp, could only let him carry her.

Lying in his arms, Ye Jiu looked up and could just see his smooth, glowing jaw; she felt envious.

How can he be so good-looking? It’s totally unfair!

As she watched, her hand unconsciously reached up to touch it.

Sikong Mo felt the warmth on his face and paused in his step, before continuing on as usual.

Late at night and fatigued, Ye Jiu’s eyes began to close, nearly falling asleep.

Suddenly, Sikong Mo spoke, “This is a medicinal spring, which will be beneficial for your body. I will wait outside for you.”

Ye Jiu instantly snapped back to reality, quickly withdrawing her hand and blushing deeply, “I’m… I’m sorry.”

In this era where the proprieties of male-female interaction were strictly observed, she had uncontrollably reached out to a man. What would happen if someone else saw this?

At that moment, Ye Jiu still hadn’t realized that she was still nestled in Sikong Mo’s arms.

It was only when Sikong Mo, undisturbed, set her down did she realize this.

Watching the departing figure of Sikong Mo, Ye Jiu suddenly spoke, voicing the question that had long perplexed her, “Young Master Sikong, why… why are you so kind to me?”

Everyone knew of the War King Sikong Mo as demonic, utterly detesting women, cold-hearted, remorseless, a man who killed without a blink.

In short, it seemed he carried all sorts of negative rumors.

However, Ye Jiu distinctly felt that he treated her differently.

If it were for the treasures she possessed, it still didn’t make sense because even when he did not know about her “space” initially, he was still very kind to her!

So, Ye Jiu felt conflicted.

But Sikong Mo did not respond, just silently walked away.

Ye Jiu felt she had thought too much, so she turned her head in shame, missing Sikong Mo’s somewhat disordered steps.

Indeed, she was just seduced by his beauty tonight, which made her blurt out such a foolish question.
