Chi Hong stepped forward, lightly lifting the little bean's chin with his index fingers, a greedy smile appearing on his face.
"It's really a shame to waste such a beautiful face, Xiao Yue. To be honest, I really don't want to let you go. From the very beginning, I have already considered you as my woman."
"But it's very unfortunate that your body is too important to me. With your body, I can enter the first-grade realm."
At the words, Xiao Dou Ding couldn't help but smile, pulling at the corner of his mouth to form a sarcastic smile.
Chi Hong slightly stunned, "Are you mocking yourself, are you regretting something? If you had listened to Chen Mo's advice back then, perhaps, you wouldn't have to be at this stage today."
"I was laughing at your excessive self-confidence."
Xiao Dou Ding glared at Chi Hong with cold eyes, "You think you control every move I make, but do you know that I've long since broken free from your grasp?"
"Chi Hong, I know that you've been spying on me. Do you remember, when I first met him, what I told him?"
"What does that mean?"
Chi Hong's expression slightly changed.
Xiao Dou Ding's corner of the mouth slightly lifted, and he answered, "I will always believe my brother."
After the words were spoken, Chi Hong couldn't help but raise his eyebrow. From Xiao Dou Ding's composed demeanor, he subconsciously felt a hint of cunning.
Before he could recover his senses, suddenly, a figure burst into the cave from the entrance, followed by a streak of crimson blade energy.
Chi Hong suddenly became alarmed and quickly retreated several dozen meters, dodging the streak of blood-colored sword energy.
Just as he had stood stable, he saw that someone had already stood next to Xiao Dou Ding.
It can only be Chen Mo.
Chen Mo casually swung his sword, and suddenly, he killed all the worms around him. As a result, Xiao Dou Ding was able to regain his freedom.
"Brother..."
Xiao Dou Ding softly called out Chen Mo, then wrapped his little hands affectionately around his waist.
"Brother, you're really annoying. If I had to act with you, I wouldn't say such things to you... I haven't been able to love you enough."
Xiao Dou Ding buried his small head in Chen Mo's arms and went crazy, sniffing the scent on his body.
Chen Mo held the sword in his right hand and pushed Xiao Dou Ding's small head away with his other hand, looking somewhat helpless. "Xiao Dou Ding, Chi Hong is watching."
"Let him watch to his heart's content."
Xiao Dou Ding said with a smile, "Chi Hong, is it true that it was you? You really think I would hold a grudge against my brother for such an event? That's really small-minded of you to underestimate my love for my brother."
"If my brother really wants to have me, he doesn't need to do these things. Even without him saying a word, I could jump onto his bed myself..."
"H cough cough..."
Before Xiao Dou Ding finished speaking, Chen Mo couldn't help but start coughing intensely, interrupting her unfiltered words.
Xiao Dou Ding also guessed Chen Mo's thoughts and couldn't help but pout, feeling a bit upset, "I was just stating the facts."
Chen Mo couldn't help but give Xiao Dou Ding a stern look.
Xiao Dou Ding directly ignored it, continuing to hold onto Chen Mo's waist without letting go.
On the other hand, Chi Hong, upon seeing this scene, turned his face a deathly shade of blue with anger. He had believed himself to have controlled everything, even having succeeded in separating them, only to find out that he had been the one played.
Most importantly, that little bean with whom he had spent a hundred years interacting, he himself had failed to take their relationship to the next level for a hundred years. Now, she was actually getting close to Chen Mo like that.
"Bitch, you should die."
Chi Hong's face was contorted with fury, his eyes locked onto Xiao Dou Ding, and his face was filled with murder. At this moment, he would have wished to chop her into a thousand pieces.
Chi Hong raised his hand and slapped towards Chen Mo fiercely.
"Li Kong"
Chen Mo raised his hand as well, and with a sweep of his sword, he unleashed a blow that contained all his Qi and blood, crashing into the attack head-on.
"Changle"
A burst of blood-colored sword energy suddenly emerged, but Chi Hong's entire body turned gold, and Chen Mo's strike could not shake him in the slightest.
"Bad."
Xiao Dou Ding saw the situation and changed his expression suddenly, "All of the worms in this Thousand Toxin Cave have been recognized as masters, among them is the Vajra Worm. With such a large number, his defense is comparable to a first-class cultivator. Brother, this is his home field, and fighting here is not advantageous to us. Quickly retreat outside."
Xiao Dou Ding immediately realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly opened his mouth to persuade Chen Mo.
Upon hearing this, Chi Hong coldly laughed, "Want to run? You think you can escape? Chen Yue, you also know that this is my home field. You think with your abilities, can you really escape?"
"Ha, if your second-grade power is fully utilized, it is indeed possible to take him away. But, a mage without worms is no better than a cripple. Chen Yue, Chen Mo, neither of you can escape."
Chen Mo stepped back two steps, holding his sword in one hand and blocking Xiao Dou Ding with his other, his expression suddenly becoming serious.
Chi Hong's strength is very strong, and if we want to take him down, there are only two options: either to finish him in one blow, or to fight him persistently. However, the Qi in his body was already consumed by the strike just now, and it's unclear if he has enough energy for a prolonged battle.
The second option is to buy time, waiting for help. However, the entire cave is filled with worms. On the opponent's home turf, his method obviously isn't very feasible.
Just as Chen Mo was hesitating, two red worm-like creatures suddenly emerged from his arms, their small heads swaying as if they were saying something.
Chen Mo may not understand them, but he can still feel their sorrow.
Seeing Chen Mo's perplexed expression, Xiao Dou Ding quickly explained, "Most of the worms on my body obey Chi Hong, but there is one that I have grown up with. It has never obeyed Chi Hong and even stepped forward to help me when I was in the most dangerous situation."
"It is Xiao Hong, the mother of Da Bao and Xiao Bao."
"Unfortunately, Xiao Hong was unable to resist Chi Hong and had been devoured, becoming his nourishment. Da Bao and Xiao Bao must have sensed the remaining breath of their mother."
After Xiao Dou Ding finished speaking, she saw Da Bao and Xiao Bao on her arms making sad cries.
Chen Mo frowned and said in a serious tone, "Don't worry, Da Bao and Xiao Bao. I will avenge your mother for you."
Chen Mo said this, and tightly gripped the massive sword in his hand. Da Bao immediately entered his dantian to strengthen his Qi and blood, while Xiao Bao also began to restore his Qi and blood at full speed at this moment.
Da Bao and Xiao Bao blooming together greatly increased Chen Mo's strength.
"Come and fight!"
Chen Mo said, still holding the sword in one hand, while the other hand was held behind his back, and he silently summoned the Tianji Original Stone.
With the abilities of Da Bao and Xiao Bao, Chen Mo's strength can indeed be greatly improved, but it can only reach the level of a third-class cultivator or a half-step first-class cultivator.
And now Chi Hong, despite being only second-grade, has the advantage of being on his home turf. His strength is at least half a step to first grade.
If they were to truly compete, he would certainly not be a match. The Tianji Original Stone is undoubtedly his last ace.
