The flesh and blood of Chi Di and Ju Hong, after being cooked by Ji Mo, were indeed astonishing in their medicinal properties.
Sima Hongfeng, Er Lengzi, and Tu Shan Mingyue all gained immense benefits, their realms seeing significant growth and their strength greatly increased.
The Four Unlike's origin also recovered considerably; it was estimated that it could now contend with Chi Qingying.
For the next few days, the members of the Void Sword Sect peacefully consolidated their realms. Meanwhile, Chi Qingying, the little money grubber who had missed out on a great opportunity, was not idle. She spent her days hovering around the Four Unlike, hoping to build a good relationship.
Divine beasts were treasures from head to tail; even plucking a few hairs was incredibly valuable.
However, the Four Unlike held no good feelings for this shorty who dared to call it a "stupid donkey." If not for Chi Qingying's close relationship with Ji Mo, it would have settled old scores long ago.
The dignity of a divine beast was sacred and inviolable. Those who offended it would surely meet a grim end and face bloody retribution.
Of course, Ji Hanhan was an exception.
Once Sima Hongfeng and Er Lengzi had fully consolidated their realms, Ji Mo finally decided to leave.
Upon hearing this news, Tu Shan Shushu, who had been sulking with Ji Mo, could no longer sit still. She rushed over, eager to persuade him to stay.
She had been calm for several days, trying to forget Ji Mo, that philandering scoundrel. In the end, she couldn't, and could only choose to compromise.
The Celestial Foxes of Tu Shan always chose only one partner in their lives, sharing life and death, never abandoning each other. For Ji Mo, she was willing to make an exception and allow him to have multiple wives and concubines.
Tu Shan Shushu arrived at Ji Mo's door. Just as she was about to knock, she heard an indecent commotion from inside.
"Hey, Miss Qingying, what are you doing? Stop, don't just grope me."
"Lie still, don't move. Hmm, what is this thing, it's so hard..."
Inside the room, Chi Qingying had pinned Ji Mo onto the bed and was fumbling all over him with her tender, white hands.
She was taking advantage of Ji Mo.
Of course, it wasn't the kind of advantage that involved physical intimacy, but rather she wanted to ask for the divine skin of Ju Mang from Ji Mo.
It wasn't that she was greedy, but she knew Ji Mo intended to make this divine skin into underwear, and she couldn't tolerate such a waste of heavenly resources.
Moreover, Ji Mo had a divine beast, the Four Unlike. If she wanted divine skin, she could just cut off a piece.
Chi Qingying didn't treat Ji Mo as an outsider. She held him firmly down, her restless little hands constantly fumbling. She grabbed a hard object, and her pretty face immediately flushed crimson.
Then, she showed a look of shock: "Yours... is forked?"
"It's obvious you've never played with it before. The forked ones are better."
Ji Mo looked helpless. He dared not move. He was a young man full of vigor. Couldn't you be more modest, girl, and treat me like a man?
What if he couldn't control himself and caused a life?
He knew what Chi Qingying had touched. He reminded her with a pang of pain, "Don't break my treasure."
"You scoundrel, you shameless thing! Who wants to pinch your little toothpick?"
Chi Qingying recoiled as if shocked, quickly got up, and twisted the corner of her clothes with her fingers, so embarrassed she wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
Bang!
The door was shattered by an external force. Tu Shan Shushu couldn't stand it anymore. She cursed "dog couple" and turned away in a huff.
Ji Mo was bewildered. He felt that Tu Shan Shushu was good in every way, except that her temper was too bad. She liked to curse and kick down doors, which was too barbaric.
He couldn't be bothered to deal with it. He quickly reached into his embrace and took out his beloved slingshot. Finding it intact, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
"Ah, it's just... a slingshot?"
Chi Qingying was completely stunned.
Just now she thought she had touched something she shouldn't have, but unexpectedly, she had misunderstood.
Her forehead was covered in black lines. It was just a broken slingshot; why was she blushing and embarrassed?
"What else would it be? What did you think it was?"
Ji Mo looked at Chi Qingying and said proudly, "This treasure of mine is incredibly powerful. It hits whatever it aims at. Want to borrow it for a few days?"
"Who wants your broken slingshot? I want that piece of Ju Mang skin."
Chi Qingying thought the slingshot was just a toy and didn't care for it at all. She directly stated her purpose.
Ji Mo wouldn't hand it over easily. After a bit of pulling and tugging, they finally reached an agreement.
Chi Qingying successfully obtained the Ju Mang skin, the price being that she would serve as an honored elder of the Void Sword Sect.
Feeling like she had struck a great bargain, Chi Qingying beamed. She thought Ji Mo was a fat sheep. First, he got a segment of the Netherworld Undying Vine, and now he had tricked a piece of divine beast Ju Mang's skin. She felt a little guilty.
As long as she could completely refine this Ju Mang divine skin and the Netherworld Undying Vine, she would have the confidence to face an Immortal Emperor.
Ji Mo also felt he had made a killing. A mere piece of skin for an elder; this was a very profitable deal.
He felt he shouldn't mistreat Chi Qingying. Later, he would have Sima Hongfeng teach Chi Qingying the Void Sword Intent and Void Sword Control techniques.
Upon learning that the sect had gained Chi Qingying as an honored elder, Sima Hongfeng was so happy his mouth almost split to his ears. The Void Sword Sect was on the verge of taking off.
The Ancestral Master was truly formidable, actually "sleeping" with Chi Qingying in one go. Amazing!
After packing their luggage, the group planned to set off.
Tu Shan Shushu returned, leading a group of Tu Shan Celestial Foxes to see them off.
After expressing their gratitude several times, Tu Shan Shushu said to Sima Hongfeng, "Sect Master Sima, the Qingqiu Demon Gate is willing to abide by the agreement between our ancestors and the Great Immortal Kongxu. Our two families will have intermarriages for generations. As long as you fancy any unmarried female disciples of Qingqiu, they can marry into the Void Sword Sect."
Hearing this, Sima Hongfeng was so excited he almost jumped up.
After thousands of years of being a bachelor, the iron tree was finally about to blossom, ushering in spring.
He looked ardently at the Seven-tailed Celestial Fox, thinking she had fair skin, beautiful features, and long legs, making her particularly suitable for warming his bed.
The Seven-tailed Celestial Fox showed no signs of resistance. Repaying kindness was a tradition of Tu Shan. Since Ji Mo had saved the entire Tu Shan, it was only right for her to marry into the Void Sword Sect.
Sima Hongfeng looked expectantly at Ji Mo, waiting for his opinion.
Ji Mo smiled, showing his teeth, and said, "Marriage alliances are naturally good, but we can't have arranged marriages. It must be based on love and mutual consent."
This statement immediately elicited cheers from countless fox maidens present. They naturally hated having their marriages arranged by the sect the most, and their impression of Ji Mo improved greatly.
Some bold young girls even covered their faces and shouted that they were willing to have babies with Ji Mo.
Ji Hanhan, having never experienced such a scene, blushed with shame.
"You philandering scoundrel, pretending to be pure, you're shameless."
Tu Shan Shushu, seeing this, gritted her teeth in anger. She felt Ji Mo was faking it and was undoubtedly overjoyed in his heart, thinking of having a harem of three thousand wives and concubines.
For her own happiness, Sima Hongfeng hinted, "I've taken a liking to a good girl, and we are mutually fond of each other."
He believed that as long as Ji Mo spoke, the Seven-tailed Celestial Fox would definitely not object and would be willing to marry him.
"Sect Master, the sect has not yet been revived. You bear a heavy responsibility. How can you consider personal matters of love and affection?"
Ji Mo patted Sima Hongfeng on the shoulder, righteously advising him not to rush, to establish his career before starting a family.
Sima Hongfeng felt that this was the Ancestral Master's regard for him and was extremely excited. However, he soon couldn't be happy.
Because Ji Mo then, with a gentle smile, asked Er Lengzi to choose suitable Tu Shan girls. If he fancied one, Ji Mo would act as a matchmaker, doing his best to fulfill Er Lengzi's wish of marrying a beautiful woman.
Sima Hongfeng was stunned. He racked his brains but couldn't understand why he was treated with such double standards.
Er Lengzi looked around and refused. Mainly, the girls present were all beautiful and charming, not fitting his criteria of marrying someone three thousand years older than him.
"You saved me, and you saved all of us in Tu Shan. Whatever you want, I... I can promise you."
Tu Shan Shushu walked up to Ji Mo, biting her lower lip and said.
In fact, Tu Shan had previously decided that if Ji Mo saved Tu Shan, then Tu Shan would belong to Ji Mo.
But Tu Shan Shushu felt it would be improper to offer herself proactively, as Ji Mo might look down on her. Hence, she asked this question, prompting Ji Mo to ask for what he wanted.
"You'll promise me anything?"
Ji Mo's eyes lit up. Excitedly, he grabbed Tu Shan Shushu's shoulders and stared intently at her, "My appetite is very large, and what I want might be very excessive."
"You damned渣男 (zhā nán - scumbag), you've finally revealed your true colors. Don't tell me you're not only after me but also have your eye on Xiao Mingyue?"
Tu Shan Shushu thought to herself, burning with jealousy. She felt this lecherous guy meant he wanted both the big and the small.
However, she did not refuse and nodded heavily. Who could help it if she had fallen for a scumbag?
"Haha, then I won't be polite. I want money, the more the better."
Ji Mo rubbed his hands and directly stated his immodest request.
He knew that Tu Shan was incredibly wealthy and could probably make a fortune from this.
"You don't want me, you want money?"
Tu Shan Shushu couldn't believe her ears.
As long as Ji Mo said he wanted her, it would be equivalent to obtaining the entire Qingqiu Demon Gate.
"What would I want you for?"
Ji Mo looked confused and explained, "Immortal crystals, spirit stones, materials for setting up formations, etc. I want them all, the more the better."
"You bastard, you big bastard, I'll bite you to death."
Tu Shan Shushu bared her teeth and claws, leaping onto Ji Mo. She revealed her pearly white canine teeth and bit his face wildly.
She was furious. She would rather have money than a delicate beauty like herself. Was this bastard still a man?
