"Eh……"
For a moment, Shang Xiufang's eyes suddenly trembled, and the world in her eyes seemed to stand still.
So...is that so?
The reason why Han Mo ran to the fighting place of Jindan Zhenren alone was not because he was blindly arrogant, impulsive, and hopeless.
On the contrary, he was just worried about his own safety.
He just saw his beloved in danger and couldn't help but want to help.
It's just such a pure, simple, and unadulterated motive.
In fact, Shang Xiufang knew that Han Mo liked her when they first met, and she bluntly rejected Han Mo at that time.
But, I clearly rejected him, why is he still so stupid? As a Qi-refining cultivator, what can I change by running over? Is it worth it for a woman who rejected him?
At this moment, looking at Han Mo's true feelings revealed because he was scolded by her, misunderstood by her, and deeply hurt by her, he had no choice but to do so.
She just felt extremely regretful suddenly in her heart.
But at the same time, Han Mo's embrace made her feel extremely safe and warm.
It turns out that a man’s embrace can be so warm.
"Han Mo, I'm sorry..."
She wanted to apologize and say that she had misunderstood him, but she soon felt Han Mo's hold on her suddenly increased in strength, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.
“I’m sorry, Shang Xiufang, I know I’m a useless Qi training cultivator, and even if I rush over, I can’t change any results.
But at that time, all I could think about was whether anything would happen to you. I was really worried that the demons would hurt you!"
Han Mo apologized before her, which further broke down Shang Xiufang's defenses.
At this moment, this solid and warm embrace is so nostalgic.
"No, Han Mo, you..."
She trembled as she tried to refute Han Mo's self-deprecating words, but Han Mo slightly relaxed his grip at this moment, lowered his head and looked at her, and said in a tone that was not easy to question:
"Promise me that you will never do such dangerous things again?"
At this moment, along with these words, the enchanting eyes containing the Nascent Soul Talisman came again with extreme force.
Shang Xiufang was stunned on the spot, as if something was shot through.
What's going on? She was clearly being forced to do something, but she wasn't angry at all. Instead, she felt...
My heart beat faster and my brain couldn't think.
At this moment, this absolutely beautiful fairy from the holy land actually showed a rare look of embarrassment.
"I, I answer..."
Finally, she lowered her eyes, not daring to meet Han Mo's gaze, and subconsciously made a sound as thin as a mosquito's whistle, but unfortunately the words that followed could not be heard clearly.
However, she lowered her head with shyness on her face, and did not notice that Han Mo's mouth corners slightly curved up, and she felt relieved.
In this way, the charm talisman that Murong Ying gave him was not wasted, and its surplus value was squeezed out 100%.
Perhaps, even Murong Ying, the Holy Maiden of Hehuan, did not know that the charm technique could be used in this way?
What is Charm?
Provocative actions, physical seduction, or more direct exchange of body fluids?
In Han Mo's opinion, none of them are true.
High-end charm techniques are not such vulgar things, but the kind of magical spells that can truly penetrate deep into the other person's heart and directly capture the other person's soul.
And in this world, no one knows the art of seduction better than Han Mo!

"I'm sorry, Xiufang. I lost my composure just now. I apologize for any offense."
Just when Shang Xiufang was enjoying Han Mo's warm embrace, Han Mo, who had already achieved his goal, let go of her without hesitation, and quickly took two steps back to distance themselves from each other.
Being suddenly released, Shang Xiufang felt a little lost, and there was a hint of reluctance in her blurry eyes:
"No, it's okay..."
"Mr. Xiufang, there is a huge difference in status between you and me, and I just overstepped my authority.
You can have a good rest here. My father still wants to talk to me about something, so I will take my leave now."
Seeing that Shang Xiufang seemed to want to say something, he did not give her a chance to speak.
Instead, he seemed to have realized something belatedly, looked ashamed, regretted his impulsiveness, and quickly left the room.
In the end, he used a tactic of retreating to advance, bringing the incident to a perfect end.
Fortunately, this is a classical fairy world, and there are Nascent Soul Talismans to help. If it were placed in modern times, I'm afraid this tea-flavoring method would not have any effect on the little fairies who are already familiar with various tea ceremony routines.
Of course, it’s not that he doesn’t want to go further, but based on his understanding of the game settings, Shang Xiufang is only temporarily dazzled by the double bonus of "Nascent Soul Talisman" and PUA.
After she calms down, she will probably say something like "I'm sorry, Han Mo, you are a good person, but we are really not suitable for each other."
Even if you continue to pester her and wait until the Nascent Soul Talisman loses its effect, it may even backfire, so you have to know when to stop.
Anyway, Shang Xiufang has agreed to be his protector for three years, so there is still a lot of time, and he has time to slowly adjust... ahem, strategy.
Of course, Han Mo’s ultimate goal is not just to conquer Shang Xiufang and make her fall in love with him.
Among all the loveless saints in history, is there no saint who has ever truly fallen in love with someone?
This is obviously impossible.
But even if the saint found true love, in the end, whether voluntarily or forced, she still could not escape the fate of killing her beloved with her own hands.
Ever since this rule was established in the Holy Land of Forgetfulness, there have been no exceptions.
Therefore, if Han Mo wants to successfully avoid death, what he has to do is not just to make Shang Xiufang fall in love with him.
He also wants the other person to become extremely dependent on him, to obey all his instructions, and even to the point where he cannot survive in this world without him.
Only in this way can one escape inevitable death.
In the corridor, Han Mo thought about this while walking slowly towards his room.
It was also after he left that in the side room, as Han Mo had expected, Shang Xiufang quickly calmed down after the initial panic and helplessness, and even her heart was pounding.
"I'm really sorry, Han Mo. You've been so infatuated with me, but unfortunately I still can't accept you..."
It’s not because Shang Xiufang’s standards are too high. She thinks Han Mo is just a Qi-refining cultivator with a bad reputation and is not worthy of her.
In fact, as early as when the two met for the first time, Han Mo's frank performance left a good impression on Shang Xiufang.
However, even so, she rejected Han Mo without hesitation.
The most fundamental reason for this is that this is the rule set by the Holy Land of Forgetfulness.
The rules of the holy land stipulate that, except for overcoming the tribulation of love, disciples are not allowed to have any worldly desires.
Even when overcoming a love crisis, it can only be taken by the woman, not the man.
To put it simply, the woman must be active and the man must be passive.
It is up to the female disciples to take the initiative to look for the person who can help them transcend the tribulation and to propose a Taoist partner relationship. She cannot choose the other person as the person who can help her transcend the tribulation out of necessity just because the man falls in love with her first.
This is a taboo within the sect.
In other words, since Han Mo fell in love with her first, he was destined to be out of the game.
"Alas, Han Mo, we are destined not to be together in this life."
In the end, Shang Xiufang could only sigh softly, feeling mixed emotions in her heart.
Of course, although she said "we are not destined to be together", subconsciously, there might be another reason that she was never willing to admit.
Once she chooses Han Mo as the person to overcome the tribulation, after she has overcome the tribulation of love, she must kill him with her own hands.
If it were before, perhaps she would think that killing Han Mo was no big deal.
But after what happened today, this was an outcome she didn't want to see...
……
……
Not to mention Han Mo and Shang Xiufang's respective thoughts, the battle between good and evil in the outside world finally came to an end after an hour of fierce fighting.
Just when Han Feiyu returned victoriously with the Han family and a lot of spoils as expected, Han Mo set up a half-person-high pot in the yard, added a handful of firewood underneath and lit it.
After the water heated up slightly, he quickly waved his hand, took out some precious medicinal herbs that he had prepared long ago from his storage bag, and threw them into the pot.
"Blood Essence Nutmeg, Soul-Returning Star Anise, Cold Flame Peppercorns, Earth Emperor Cinnamon, Colorful Garlic Paste."
While throwing in the herbs one by one, Han Mo silently recited the names of the herbs.
These herbs are all great tonics for the body, and have the effects of warming the spleen and stimulating appetite, removing fishy smell and relieving greasiness... cough, strengthening the foundation, opening the orifices and relieving pain, reducing swelling and discharging pus.
Because it is very expensive, ordinary monks simply cannot afford it.
But who is Han Mo? The prince of Yifeng Marquisate.
The Yifeng Marquis Mansion is wealthy and powerful, so it is no problem for them to eat ginseng as if it were a carrot.
"Oh, and add some phoenix fire ginger and three-tailed scallion to enhance the flavor!"
As he spoke, Han Mo took out a few more medicinal herbs, controlled the magical sword with the sword-controlling technique, chopped them into pieces and threw them into the pot, then stirred them evenly with a large soup spoon.
“This fragrance is amazing!”
After stewing for about half an hour, Han Mo opened the lid of the pot and saw a rich spiritual energy rushing into the air and the fragrance of medicinal herbs hit his face, instantly filling the entire yard.
"It should be almost done."
Seeing that the fire was almost ready, Han Mo turned around and shouted into the house:
"Hey, Mengyao, how are you doing over there, haven't you cleaned it up yet?
Remember to take off all your clothes so that they can be pickled. No, this way the medicinal effect can be absorbed faster."
