Mo Wenjie looked at Cao Chunling and couldn't help but feel amazed in his heart. He never expected that she was actually a naturally spiritual person, making her cultivation twice as effective. If she had mentioned that she had been cultivating before, she should be more powerful than himself now. However, this naturally spiritual person did not seem to have been discovered by others.
Huang Ling'er listened to Mo Wenjie's words. She smiled and said: My husband, you only said one thing and didn't say another? Don't you mean that you don't know that your own strength will also increase very fast if you refine together with a primordial spirit body? I found that you are intentionally doing this. We all envy you, others envy you even more. Your luck is really too good. How could you have encountered such a rare primordial spirit body of a thousand years? Is your luck really overflowing?
Mo Wenjie blushed slightly, scratched his head, and said, "Ling'er, don't say such things carelessly. I and Miss Cao Chunling are just friends; there are no other thoughts." Huang Ling'er pouted and scolded playfully, "Hmph, you're so stubborn. But we can't let this matter about the primordial spirit body get out. Otherwise, it will definitely bring in a lot of trouble." Everyone nodded in agreement.
However, their conversation was overheard by a pair of ears in the shadows. It was a cultivator from the dark side who had been coveting the power of the primordial spirit body. The black-clad old monster was secretly delighted, thinking that if he could obtain this primordial spirit body and absorb its spiritual energy, his cultivation would definitely greatly improve. So he followed Mo Wenjie and others secretly, searching for an opportunity to strike.
Mo Wenjie had a hunch and discreetly reminded everyone to be careful. When they walked to a secluded valley, the black-robed old monster finally appeared, and an evil aura filled the air instantly.
Mo Wenjie stood in front, protecting Cao Chunling behind him, and said, "You of the evil path, do not even think of having bad intentions."
The black-clad old monster coldly laughed and said, "Young man, if you know what's good for you, hand over that primordial spirit body. Otherwise, I will make sure you die without a proper burial!"
Mo Wenjie looked at the black-robed old monster and smiled, "What are you? How can you threaten me? Do you think you are very strong? I tell you that you have no chance of taking the primordial spirit body. You mean nothing to me. If I want to kill you now, it's a piece of cake. I don't want to cause trouble, so get out of here and don't let me see you again. Otherwise, I will make your soul disperse!"
Upon hearing these words, the black-robed old monster was flushed with anger and embarrassment, "Youngling, don't get too proud. Today, I will show you my might!" He then waved his hands, and dark magical power gathered in the palm of his hand.
Mo Wenjie snorted disdainfully, and his internal spiritual energy began to circulate as he prepared for battle. Just as the two sides were about to engage in a physical confrontation, a melodious flute sound echoed. A white-clad woman was slowly walking over, and she emitted a holy glow from her body.
The black-robed old monster, upon seeing the woman, turned pale, "White Fairy, why are you here?" The white-clad woman was a renowned strength in the righteous path.
The White Fairy glanced at the black-robed old monster and said coldly, "You have committed countless evil deeds. To dare to attempt to seize the primordial spirit body today is truly a death wish."
Although the black-robed old monster was unwilling, he knew that he was no match for the White Fairy and let out a cold snort before disappearing into a cloud of black smoke.
Mo Wenjie thanked the White Fairy, who smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Mo, you're too polite. The primordial spirit body is related to the destiny of the world. I would never stand by and watch. However, you will need to be extra careful in the future." After speaking, she floated away.
Mo Wenjie looked in the direction she had left and secretly rejoiced in his heart. Thanks to the White Fairy's intervention, he had managed to save the situation this time. Then, he continued on with the rest of the group, being even more cautious in protecting Cao Chunling on their journey.
Tuo Ba Yingying looked at Mo Wenjie, giggling uncontrollably. "I said, husband, why are you doing this? If you and Springling sister just consummate right away, no one else would care about the primordial spirit body anymore. Look at how carefully and anxiously you are making things so complicated. Do you find this happy? Why are you putting yourself through this unnecessary trouble? Such a simple thing should be resolved by yourself!"
Mo Wenjie blushed until his face was beet red and stammered, "Yingying, such matters cannot be dealt with so carelessly. Miss Chunling is also a dignified person who should not be treated lightly." Cao Chunling listened beside him, her face blushing slightly as she said softly, "Mo brother, Yingying sister is just teasing."
At this moment, the sky suddenly turned dark, and a strong wind swept over with a bizarre screaming sound. Mo Wenjie's guard was up and he loudly called out, "Be careful everyone, another danger is approaching." The others quickly surrounded themselves in a circle, maintaining a vigilant watch around them.
They saw a group of mysterious people in black clothing descending from the sky. Their eyes glowed with a cold light.
The leader of the group chuckled menacingly, "Mo Wenjie, do you think you're safe just because you dodged the Black Robe Old Monster? This divine primordial spirit body is something everyone wants for themselves." Mo Wenjie clenched his fists in anger and said, "You won't succeed." A new battle was about to erupt, and Mo Wenjie knew that he had to give it his all to protect Cao Chunling and everyone's safety.
Tuo Ba Yingying looked at Mo Wenjie and said, "Letting you and Chunling sister get married, you don't listen. Now that danger has come again, do you still not listen? If you two don't get married, danger is everywhere. Are you hoping that we will all be implicated?" She continued, "We have to live in this danger every day. Why do you act like this? You don't even consider our feelings!"
Ding Yan also chimed in, "Mo Wenjie, what are you pretending to be? Springling sister didn't say no, so why do you have to be so stubborn? Is it because you want everyone else to follow you and live in danger every day that makes you happy?" She continued, "If any of us were to get into trouble, wouldn't you feel guilty?"
Mo Wenjie gritted his teeth, about to open his mouth to refute, but the group of black-clad people suddenly became impatient and launched an attack. Mo Wenjie rushed forward first, engaging in a duel with the leader of the black-clad people. He displayed all his skills and abilities, but with numerous enemies and powerful opponents, he was gradually losing ground.
At this moment, Cao Chunling suddenly stepped forward, sensing a subtle fluctuation of spiritual energy within her. It turns out that over these past few days, under Mo Wenjie's influence, she had begun to understand the path of cultivation. "Big Brother Mo, I don't want to always hide behind others and be protected," she said, and even charged at the enemies proactively.
Upon seeing this, everyone else gathered their courage and joined the battle. Mo Wenjie was encouraged, and his spiritual energy erupted, causing the black-clad people's formation to be thrown into disarray for a moment.
Just as the black-clad people were about to unleash their final move, the melodious flute sound echoed from afar once again. It was the White Fairy who had come back, bringing several high-level righteous cultivators with her. The black-clad people saw that things were not looking good for them and tried to escape. However, the righteous cultivators quickly set up an array, trapping them all in one place and eliminating them.
After this battle, Mo Wenjie realized Cao Chunling's growth, and Cao Chunling's feelings for Mo Wenjie were beginning to grow. As for whether they would truly get married as everyone said, it still needed time to develop. After all, in this dangerous cultivation realm filled with dangers, love affairs could only unfold naturally.
Xiao Yawen glanced at Mo Wenjie, then at Cao Chunling, and said, "I say, you two should hurry up and consummate your marriage. Only then can we possibly escape from the pursuit of others. If it weren't for our good luck of encountering the White Fairy twice to save us, you can imagine what would happen if any of us were to be injured or worse. So I think it's best for both of you to consummate your marriage as soon as possible; it will be good for both of you and everyone else. Since there's such a good thing happening, why wouldn't you want to take advantage of it?"
Mo Wenjie's face turned red as an apple, and he looked at Cao Chunling, who was also blushing profusely. "This... how can it be acceptable? Our relationship hasn't reached that point yet," Mo Wenjie stammered.
Cao Chunling gently tugged on his sleeve and whispered softly, "Big Brother Mo, in truth, I am willing to believe what everyone has said. If this can ensure everyone's safety...”
Mo Wenjie widened his eyes, "Miss Chunling, you must not put yourself through such an injustice."
At that very moment, a strange light suddenly flashed across the sky. Following that, an ancient voice rang out in the air: "Do not believe what others say. Consummating your marriage is not the solution. Someone is deliberately trying to disrupt your thoughts and intentions through this event."
The crowd was taken aback and looked around frantically for the source of the voice. Mo Wenjie hurriedly asked, "Who are you, elder? Why do you say this?"
The voice once again echoed, "I am an ancient immortal who understands the cause and effect of the world. Although the primordial spirit body is indeed tempting, the real danger lies in people's greed. As long as one sticks to their conscience and unites with others, they can resolve any crisis without having to do this."
Mo Wenjie and Cao Chunling looked at each other and both felt relieved. From this moment on, they decided to work together to cultivate their powers, relying on their own strength to fend off any external threats.
Qin Xiaodie never spoke, but today she suddenly spoke up, "Dear husband, I've never spoken before because there's a gap between me and them. After all, Huang Ling'er is the princess, and the others are all from wealthy families. Although our family does have some money, it's only a second or third-tier family compared to them. There's no way we can compare with them. So many times, I didn't speak because of my inferiority complex. Cao Chunling's situation is similar to mine; her family also belongs to a second or third-tier family. Therefore, many times she has a sense of inferiority in her heart, feeling that she doesn't match you. But I think everyone should understand her. We can help her fulfill her wish to consummate with you!"
Mo Wenjie listened to Qin Xiaodie's words and was momentarily at a loss for words. At this time, Huang Ling'er, who had been silent until now, spoke up, "Xiaodie sister, while it's true that Chunling sister comes from a second or third-tier family compared to us, on this cultivation journey, what should be valued is personal abilities and character rather than family background. Consummating the marriage should naturally happen when it's appropriate, and there's no need to force it." The others nodded in agreement.
However, as everyone thought the situation had settled down, the ground suddenly began to shake violently. In the distance, an ancient formation appeared, emitting a dim blue light. Mo Wenjie furrowed his brow, sensing a powerful and malevolent aura emanating from it. "Not good, this is an entanglement formation set up by demonic cultivators. It seems they are not giving up their pursuit."
Mo Wenjie led the group closer to the formation, trying to find a way to break it. Standing aside, Cao Chunling suddenly remembered records of a similar formation she had seen in ancient books at home. She closed her eyes and carefully recalled the methods from the book, then took out her life essence treasure and shot a ray of spiritual energy towards a corner of the formation. The formation flickered several times and appeared a crack. Mo Wenjie seized the opportunity to deliver a full-force strike, finally breaking through the entanglement formation. The group heaved a sigh of relief and became even more determined to face their difficulties together. Unconsciously, Mo Wenjie and Cao Chunling's bond deepened significantly as well.
