The courtyard-style house is situated by the mountains, and the scenery is beautiful. It was precisely because of this that Chen DeWang bought land nearby to build a house. A few years ago, Chen Mo accompanied his father to the top of the mountain, and the scenery there was indeed nice.
Exactly this time, he intends to bring Liu Wuxin and others to take a look.
On this trip, Chen Mo didn't bring many people; there were three daughters of Liu Wuxin, two guards Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, making a total of five. Zhao's mother couldn't go out due to illness, so Zhao Qingling and Fu Bo were in charge of looking after her. Pei Jiangnan was responsible for the protection.
The only one who can fight beside Chen Mo is Zhang Long of the ninth grade, and Zhao Hu of the eighth grade. In addition, there is a high-level expert deliberately arranged by Long Aoxiao Tian. Although he has never met him, he feels that his strength must not be much different from that of Long Aoxiao Tian.
Along the mountain road, the carriage went straight up to the top of the mountain. In the past, the path was rough and steep, and even horses couldn't climb it. Later, Chen DeWang built a road that could go directly to the top of the mountain to appreciate the scenery there. Nowadays, Chen Mo is also benefited by this fortunate father.
There was a flat slope at the top of the mountain, which was the best place to enjoy the scenery. However, it had grown overrun with weeds. Chen Mo called for Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to clear away the grass, while he himself took Liu Wuxin and others to find a nice spot, spread out a carpet, and just as they sat down, Xiaodou rushed over to the carriage.
This time out, Xiaodou brought along quite a lot of delicious food. Being young, she doesn't know what kind of scenery is beautiful or not. Everything is empty, and only delicious food cannot be disappointed.
Su Yuomo was afraid that Xiaodou would fall, so she followed behind her all the way. In the process, only Chen Mo and Liu Wuxin were left on the carpet.
This time out, Liu Wuxin's most anticipated thing was the chance to be alone with Chen Mo. Without outsiders interrupting, the two could sit quietly together. There was no need for words; just being seated beside him was the happiest thing for her.
Liu Wuxin held her corner with her hands, shifted her buttocks towards Chen Mo, and the distance between them was only one fist away. She had intended to approach him as closely as Xiaodou, but she took deep breaths several times and couldn't muster the courage. In the end, she could only hang her head and remain silent.
Chen Mo tilted his head, resting one hand on his head and silently staring at Liu Wuxin. She didn't speak, and he didn't speak either.
Feeling an awkward atmosphere, Liu Wuxin hesitated for a moment and turned her head to look at Chen Mo. She then realized that his eyes were firmly fixed on her. In an instant, her face flushed red, "Brother, brother, weren't you saying... that we were here to enjoy the scenery...".
Chen Mo's mouth twitched slightly and he smiled, "You sitting here, is the most beautiful scenery."
"What are you doing, Zhao Hu?"
At the same time, as Zhang Long was clearing the weeds, he turned around to see that Zhao Hu had stopped what he was doing, holding a small notebook in one hand and a charcoal pencil in the other, writing something down.
Zhang Long furrowed his brow, moved lightly over to take a glance at the small notebook.
"Here you sit, and you are the most beautiful scenery"
"Don't you dare to flirt with my heart, I told you to flirt with my hair."
"Waiting is also a process of appreciation."
...
Good heavens, isn't that the flirty words Master San used to say? Has he remembered them all?
"Zhao Hu, what are you doing here?"
Zhang Long spoke up, causing Zhao Hu, who was caught off guard, to jump in fright. His body shivered, and he straightened his posture quickly. He stuffed the small notebook and charcoal pencil into his chest and laughed, "No, nothing."
"I've seen everything."
...
Zhao Hu's face stiffened, "My mother hopes that I can find a wife as soon as possible. But you know, we are all rough men and we don't know how to say sweet nothings. And Master San... he hehe, so I learned a bit, is it too much?"
Zhang Long glanced back and first approved of Zhao Hu's recognition of Chen Mo, then said faintly, "If one has no woman in his heart, drawing a sword will be as divine."
Liu Wuxin was stunned for a moment. When she saw Chen Mo's sincere eyes, the sound of his words echoed in her ears, and her mind was in a mess. She felt dizzy and quickly lowered her head, embarrassed.
The courage she had finally mustered was ruined by Chen Mo's single sentence.
Is this really the cruel and merciless female emperor of the Demon Cult...? Chen Mo smiled with a twinkle in his eyebrows, staring at Liu Wuxin who was lowering her head and not daring to speak.
"Ah, ah, ah"
A sudden exclamation was heard.
Upon hearing the sound, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu immediately stopped what they were doing and hurried to Chen Mo's side.
"Zhang Long, protect Wuxin here. Zhao Hu, go with me to check it out."
Chen Mo's smile faded and he became serious. Then he led Zhao Hu to the carriage, which was not as luxurious as his own but more likely owned by a wealthy family.
Beside the carriage stood a noble gentleman in a white robe, with one white boot stepping on a delicate body, and next to him was a scared Xiaodou.
Chen Mo squinted to take a closer look. The person under the white robe that the noble gentleman was stepping on was none other than Su Yumo.
"I was wondering why it seemed so familiar, and here you are. What a worthless slave, do you want to run away from His Excellency the Viceroy? I want to see how far you can run. Fetch the iron chain! A worthless slave should be locked up with an iron chain, and I will brand her with His Excellency's mark...”
The noble gentleman in white said coldly. As soon as he spoke, the two eunuchs behind him quickly retrieved a black iron chain from the carriage, as if putting a collar on an animal, intending to place it around Su Yumo's neck.
"Stop."
Chen Mo shouted.
At the sound of his words, the noble gentleman in white raised an eyebrow, his face darkening as he looked up, "Who dares to speak to His Excellency like this?"
At the sight of his opponent's appearance, Zhao Hu's body trembled, and he quickly grabbed hold of Chen Mo's sleeve, shaking his head and saying, "Brother, don't provoke him. He is the son of King Ning, with noble status. If you anger him, not only will it be you who suffer consequences, but the entire Chen family may face disaster."
Hearing Chen Mo's voice, Su Yumo first felt joy but soon realized that even if he came, what could he do? The person bullying her was the son of King Ning.
Chen Mo is no more than an abandoned child of the Chen family. Not to mention that he has been exiled, but even if he were the heir of the Chen family, what could he do?
King Ning is the elder brother of the current female emperor, and the son of the true royal family. How could Chen Mo dare to provoke such a huge power just for a worthless slave like her?
Su Yumo's face was pale as death, her teeth biting lightly on her red lips, and she had already made the worst preparations.
Since childhood, Su Yumo had been blessed with a face that could captivate a nation. Because of this, by the age of fifteen, so many suitors came to propose marriage that they nearly wore down her family's threshold. Later, she was taken notice of by the Marquis of Ning, Longhua, who sent messengers to propose marriage to her.
Although the Marquis of Ning, Longhua, had a decent appearance, his reputation was not good. Moreover, Su Yumo had her own aspirations. At the age of fifteen, she was still a year away from awakening her spiritual vein. She wanted to explore the martial arts and travel across nine provinces, rather than being trapped in a cage like a golden caged bird for the rest of her life. Therefore, she rejected this proposal with various reasons.
But he is the Prince of a Principality, with the highest status. How can a few words dismiss him?
Under the coercion of Longhua, Su Yufu yielded, and the entire Su family abandoned her. More accurately, the entire Su family hoped to leverage this marriage proposal to form a relationship with the Marquis of Ning.
Unable to resist, as a result of her beauty, she will have to marry an unlikable person for the rest of her life. The day before leaving the Su family, Su Yumo destroyed her own appearance.
Upon learning of this, Longhua was enraged and ordered his subordinates to take her back to the mansion. There, he burned her face himself. You like to disfigure yourself, then I will let you be disfigured enough.
That night marked the beginning of Su Yumo's nightmare.
The Su family, because of this incident, left the capital in a hurry during the night. Longhua no longer mentioned the marriage proposal, but he demoted Su Yumo to a slave and used her like an animal.
Dishonored by the humiliation, Su Yumo fled from the Marquis of Ning's residence. However, after escaping from the tiger's den, she fell into a wolf's lair. Just as she had fled the capital, she was captured and turned into a furnace for cultivating demon-human beings...
When Chen Mo rescued her from the cage, Su Yumo really felt that she had been dreaming. She seemed to have escaped from the sea of bitterness.
But now, with Longhua's arrival, her dream should come to an end.
The high and mighty Marquis of Ning, how could a little abandoned child of the Chen family dare to provoke him?
"I don't care who you are. Su Yumo is mine. Quickly remove your stinky feet and get out of here."
