Dash-dash-dash
In the underground dungeon of the imperial city beneath the capital of Xianzhu, the sound of iron chains clinking reverberates in the vast underground space.
Though it is a dungeon, this one is excessively luxurious, with opulent rooms that resemble palaces, spacious beds, and everything needed for adornment around them.
Chen Mo lies on the soft bed, his hands supporting his head, looking up at the weak oil lamp on the ceiling with apathy.
Similar to his bedchamber, this place would hardly be recognized as a dungeon if it wasn't for the two iron chains binding his legs.
He is imprisoned.
Unlike the previous soft confinement, this time, he has lost his freedom.
He cannot go anywhere outside of this dungeon.
The one who is imprisoning him is none other than the one who had previously placed him under house arrest, Liu Wuxin.
It's quite a coincidence. After Su Qin took her own life in front of Miao Fei Yu's grave, Liu Wuxin had been feeling lost for a long time. It wasn't because she had feelings for the two of them, but rather, such a tragic scene made her inevitably reminiscent of her own experiences during these times.
Chen Mo has now become the thorn in someone else's eye and the splinter in their flesh. One wrong move and he might end up dead like Miao Fei Yu.
Since he was poisoned in the Holy Sword Sect last time, Liu Wuxin has clearly realized that Tian Lin intends to kill Chen Mo, and she may not be able to stop him.
Rather than watch Chen Mo die in front of her like Su Qin, and then take her own life in a suicide, it is better to give him even greater protection.
At this moment, Chu Ruomeng, under the orders of the master, was to bring Chen Mo to Zhongzhou.
Liu Wuxin then erupted completely.
She first drove Chu Ruomeng away, then imprisoned Chen Mo, and then, still worried about it, she had him placed in the current situation.
Click-clack——
The door creaked open, and then a small head poked in. The red and blue eyes were particularly striking, followed by a figure in a long white dress.
Liu Wuxin walked out from behind the door, looking at the bed with apathy, and smiled and called out to him affectionately, "Brother."
Chen Mo turned his head, glanced at her, knew it was Liu Wuxin, and got angry, turning his body away from her, not wanting to look at her or respond.
Seeing this, Liu Wuxin pinched the hem of her dress in a slightly resentful manner, tiptoed over to Chen Mo, climbed onto the bed, and gently embraced him with both hands.
At the moment, Chen Mo was still in a temper, his freedom taken away from him abruptly and under seemingly arbitrary circumstances. It would be impossible for him not to be angry.
He twisted his body like a maggot, trying to get away from Liu Wuxin's embrace.
Chen Mo, after all, is a three-level cultivator. He has natural strength and easily breaks free from Liu Wuxin's embrace with a single effort.
But at this moment, Liu Wuxin wanted to comfort Chen Mo, so she tried to hold him down with all her might.
Back and forth, Liu Wuxin was careful not to apply too much force, afraid of harming Chen Mo. Unconsciously, she became tired, and sweat formed fine beads on her forehead.
At this moment, Liu Wuxin felt that her angry brother was even harder to hold down than a New Year's Day pig...
"Brother, do you hate Wuxin now?"
Just then, a voice filled with petulance suddenly came from behind Chen Mo. Startled by the crying tone, he couldn't help but pause.
Without thinking, he turned around and saw Liu Wuxin's red-eyed face on the bed. Tears were still there, and she was holding Chen Mo's arm with her small hands. Her eyes looked at him with a pitiful expression, as if she would cry instantly if he said one harsh word.
To be honest, Liu Wuxin's expression, demeanor, and actions were all very accurate. Just by looking at her, one could feel compassion.
With just that look, Chen Mo, who had been brimming with grievances and resentment, forgot everything at that moment.
"Wuxin, don't cry. I... I didn't hate you."
Chen Mo tried to comfort Liu Wuxin like he was soothing a child.
"Why would brother be so cold to me if he doesn't dislike me? Brother, I know, I'm not pretty, and I'm not as understanding as other girls. It's just that... it's just that I like brother too much..." Liu Wuxin spoke with a tone of affection and self-deprecation.
"Wuxin, you're wonderful. Don't look down on yourself. But, I don't like being imprisoned, you know that. I am a person who craves freedom."
Chen Mo sighed helplessly. Since he couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh, he would only resort to gentle persuasion.
"Brother, Wuxin did this for your own good. You must know how dangerous the outside world is. If you go out, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to protect you."
"Brother, have you forgotten the incident at the Holy Sword Sect? If not for me, perhaps it was you who was poisoned. You are not a first-level cultivator. If that toxin enters your body, I can't even imagine what you would look like now."
As she spoke, the tears in Liu Wuxin's eyes suddenly rolled down.
Chen Mo reached up and gently wiped away Liu Wuxin's tears. "Fool, how could I possibly leave? I've said that I won't go anywhere."
"I know, brother also said that we will always be together, forever together, never apart. Right?"
With tears in her eyes, Liu Wuxin's wide, sparkling eyes stared intently at Chen Mo.
There was innocence in her eyes, and within that innocence lay a touch of malaise...
Chen Mo unconsciously swallowed, and if it were in the past, he would have agreed without hesitation. But now, Liu Wuxin seemed to be off in every way.
"Forever together, does that mean we can also be together forever on the wall?"
"Brother, why are you silent now? Are the words brother said before all lies to Wuxin?"
Chen Mo involuntarily shivered, and the long silence made him realize that Liu Wuxin's eyes seemed a bit off, and her voice had also grown colder.
"No, I would never deceive Wuxin."
Chen Mo chuckled awkwardly, "I just really want to go out..."
"Why would you want to go out, brother? Do you want to go to Zhongzhou? You must know that Zhang Tianlin is in Zhongzhou, and he has so many powerful experts under his command. Even I can't protect you completely."
"No, I promise you, I won't go to Zhongzhou."
Chen Mo shook his head, whether he would go or not was uncertain, but for now, he would agree with Liu Wuxin. After all, as long as he could placate her and regain his freedom, everything would be fine...
"Wuxin doesn't believe that."
"Wuxin can't guess brother's thoughts. Even though you say so, what if you go out and directly head for Zhongzhou...".
On the one-third land of Yanzhou, if Liu Wuxin wants to control Chen Mo, it is far too easy. However, if he goes to Zhongzhou, to the territory of that woman.
If she wants to control Chen Mo again, it would be impossible.
No matter what, Chen Mo cannot be allowed to leave this place. Firstly, it is for his own safety, and secondly, it is to have Chen Mo stay by her side forever.
Brother can only be mine... Liu Wuxin unconsciously moved forward and gently embraced Chen Mo.
"Brother, please don't leave Wuxin, okay? The outside is too dangerous. Just stay here for the rest of your life. I will always be by your side, we will never be apart..."
