Faced with Shang Xiufang's cowardice like a frightened little animal, Han Mo did not evade and confessed everything openly and generously:
"Shang Xiufang, I haven't finished answering your question yet."
"I approached you and gained your trust so that you and the Forgetful Holy Land behind you could help the Han family when they are in dire straits in the future."
"But I'm not simply asking for your help. After all, if that's the case, my goal has already been achieved when you became my protector in Jiyue Tower. Why would I need to do this again?
And according to what you said, there is absolutely no reason for me to get close to you, or even to humiliate you, right?"
"Don't say any more"
Shang Xiufang had already guessed what Han Mo wanted to say, and her body... began to heat up unconsciously.
She wanted to stop him, but was shocked by Han Mo's next move.
"I did this mainly for personal reasons."
After saying that, Han Mo suddenly opened his arms.
Then, he hugged Shang Xiufang tightly in his arms with a tough and unresistable attitude.
Shang Xiufang's body was already limp at this moment.
This Jindan Fairy who is much more powerful than Han Mo, this direct descendant of a holy land who is like a flower on a high mountain, is now like a delicate girl, unable to resist Han Mo's attack.
She was forced to snuggle in the arms of this man who was younger than her. This was not the first time Shang Xiufang was hugged by a man.
The last time was when he was recuperating at the Han family, and Han Mo also forced him to hug him like this.
Her first time and second time were both given to this little man.
Although she had been forced once, Shang Xiufang still couldn't resist and was even obsessed.
It was such a wonderful experience.
Being held in Han Mo's arms, she could easily smell the scent on his body. It was a pleasant scent like refreshing mint, which made her intoxicated.
In addition to the smell, because their skin was almost touching each other, each other's body temperature was clearly felt, and she could even feel Han Mo's pulse and heartbeat.
Han Mo's body temperature is normal, his pulse is steady, and his heartbeat does not fluctuate much.
This shows that the other party is very calm at the moment, which is a world of difference compared to Shang Xiufang, who is already hot all over and in a panic.
This made Shang Xiufang realize with humiliation that in the confrontation with Han Mo, she had always been the one being played around.
What frightened her even more was that she actually... didn't hate the humiliation of being played around by Han Mo at all.
It turns out that my downfall was already doomed...
Could this be what Master said about the biggest taboo of the way of forgetting emotions - awakening the female in one's heart?
The tip of his nose could smell the faint fragrance emanating from the fairy's delicate body, as if after enduring for a long time, he finally got release. Han Mo's cold lips bit Shang Xiufang's elegant swan-like neck.
The cold breath caressed her neck, gradually climbed up her cheek and finally to her earlobe. The pair of strong hands quietly reached into her clothes without her knowing when.
Shang Xiufang was unable to resist Han Mo's invasion.
If love is a war, she has already been defeated miserably. As the winner, Han Mo made the final judgment on this high and mighty fairy from the holy land.
"I'm sorry, Xiufang, ever since I've been with you, I've always had some strange thoughts in my mind. It wasn't until today that I was sure what I wanted.
Even though this is a very offensive thought, I still want to say..."
Han Mo put his hand close to Shang Xiufang's earlobe and murmured softly:
"I want to... practice dual cultivation with you."
These were the passionate words that almost melted Shang Xiufang's heart.
Shang Xiufang, who had lived for more than twenty years and had achieved the realm of Golden Elixir True Person, could not believe that one day someone would dare to say such blasphemous words in front of her.
Double cultivation?
Is this... what Han Mo has always been aiming for?
Ah, so that’s it.
It turned out that Han Mo was not simply teasing her desires.
Han Mo's real purpose was actually to get her, possess her, and to press this high and mighty fairy from the holy land under him and ravage her at will.
How bold and disrespectful this is!
Shang Xiufang was so surprised that she even felt a little delighted.
If any other man dared to say such blasphemous words to her, the high and mighty fairy from the holy land, she would be furious and would draw her sword to kill the man on the spot.
But facing Han Mo, Shang Xiufang not only did not feel any anger, but instead felt secretly happy, and even the evil fire of desire in her heart was quietly ignited.
However, even so, as a fairy from the holy land and the most talented descendant of the Forget Love Holy Land in a thousand years, she had the earnest hopes of the sect and her master, so naturally she could not agree to Han Mo's absurd request.
With the last bit of rationality left, Shang Xiufang frowned and bit her lip and said with difficulty:
"Han, Han Mo, I've said it before, there's no chance between us, just give up..."
Although she said it resolutely, she knew that her refusal would probably have no effect.
This was just her last and most powerless resistance for the sake of her face.
Because, as a fairy from the holy land, she had to refuse Han Mo's request for dual cultivation. This was her last bit of dignity.
Even if we have to fall, we must fall with dignity.
However, just when she was imagining that Han Mo would once again ignore her resistance like before, push her down on the big bed, and start the blushing and heart-pounding double cultivation...
"Is that really the case?"
"Well, I respect your decision, Fairy Xiufang."
After being rejected, Han Mo did not hesitate at all and immediately let go of Shang Xiufang. He even changed his address to a respectful one. After expressing his apologies to Fairy Shang in such a polite manner, he quickly turned around and left.
In the blink of an eye, that warm embrace was gone, without any reluctance, it just went away.
The ambiguous atmosphere also came to an abrupt end.
"Eh?"
Shang Xiufang was just as immersed in a drunken dream when suddenly someone poured a basin of cold water on her head.
She woke up suddenly.
But she could no longer see any trace of Han Mo. In the end, she stood there stupidly, unable to come to her senses for a long time.
……
……
In the next few days, Qiu Wanrong said goodbye and left, while Han Mo and Shang Xiufang returned to Mingjing City, preparing to pick up Jun Ruohan and Su Mengyao and then report to the Sword Sect.
Of course, this was because Shang Xiufang had previously rejected Han Mo’s proposal for dual cultivation, which was almost like a confession of love.
Since then, Han Mo has never launched any offensive.
Like a prodigal son, our dissolute Prince Han cast aside all the evil thoughts in his mind and cut off his relationship with Shang Xiufang.
Everything was as if nothing had happened. Han Mo quickly adjusted his state to the state when he first met Shang Xiufang in Jiyue Tower.
At that time, he was still a gentle, well-educated and sensible young man, and he did not show any improper thoughts towards this high and mighty fairy from the holy land.
Of course, this does not mean that Han Mo completely severed his relationship with Fairy Shang. On the contrary, not only did he not do so, he became more polite and respectful to her.
It was like a younger Foundation Establishment cultivator respecting an elder Golden Core cultivator. After all, Shang Xiufang was his protector.
Whether it is from the usual respectful titles or the respectful attitude when getting along harmoniously with Fairy Shang, it can be seen that he still attaches great importance to Fairy Shang.
However, this kind of emphasis has changed.
The relationship between the two has also changed from Shang Xiufang's previous weak position of obeying Han Mo to the current equal relationship. Shang Xiufang even regained the dignity of a senior who should be a Jindan Zhenren in front of Han Mo.
Precisely because Han Mo had adjusted his attitude as a junior, he naturally would not continue to discuss any cultivation issues with Fairy Shang, or even go beyond their status and instruct the other party instead.
As a result, the originally ambiguous atmosphere along the way suddenly reached a freezing point.
Even when Shang Xiufang took out another flying boat and deliberately slowed down her speed for some reason, the flying boat had become deserted and no longer had the ambiguity of before.
In the past few days, Han Mo has been hiding in the cabin of the flying boat, practicing behind closed doors and seldom going out.
Having reached the foundation-building stage, Han Mo was already able to practice temporary fasting.
Of course, with his physical strength comparable to that of a Jindan cultivator, it would be easy for him to achieve complete fasting.
Therefore, Han Mo no longer needed to eat, and Shang Xiufang naturally did not need to prepare meals for him every day like she did before in the Yunming Mountains.
As a result, the two of them could hardly speak to each other for a whole day.
As a result, Shang Xiufang got rid of Han Mo's entanglement and teasing as she wished, and successfully abided by the rules of the holy land and the expectations of her master.
Logically, she should be happy about this.
But...she couldn't be happy at all.
Not only was she unable to feel happy, she also felt extremely lost, lonely, and even a little regretful.
Therefore, until the two of them arrived in Mingjing City, she and Han Mo had only had three brief exchanges.
These three conversations were all about asking about itineraries and time arrangements, and at the end of each conversation, she always wanted to say something, with an expression as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
However, Han Mo ignored the obvious gloom and distress on her face, and was extremely respectful, even humbly saying goodbye and returning to the cabin to practice.
This situation did not change even after arriving at Mirror City.
"Han Mo, we have arrived at Mingjing City."
"Fairy Shang, you have worked hard on this journey. Thank you for giving me a ride."
"Han Mo, you don't have to be so polite..."
“By the way, Fairy Shang, I have a martial arts book here called “Blood Refining and Divine Swallowing Skill”, which is also the evil martial arts book I told you about before.
Now that we have returned, I will give this method to you. I believe the Holy Land will be able to make a fair judgment."
“Okay, I will go find the Lord of Mingjing City and ask him to investigate the situation of this evil cultivator who eats people.
If it is true as you said, our Forget Love Holy Land will definitely not sit idly by and watch such evil deeds happen in Fenghuazhou."
"In that case, thank you very much, Fairy Shang."
"Han Mo, you..."
