Chapter 109: Inconsistent Inside and Out
Ye Shuangshuang was originally named Xie Shuangshuang, she had a noble status and was the only princess of Tiankong City.
And she had seen countless handsome men and beautiful women in the Sky City, except for her brother Xie Qianye, few people gave her such a feeling of calmness and composure, as if handling heavy matters with ease. Now Su Mo gave her an entirely different feeling, his clear and enchanting temperament left her deeply astonished, she couldn't help but say that the young man in front of her was a rare beauty in this world.
The first time Ye Shuangshuang saw Su Mo inside the Momen Gate, she felt that Su Mo was not ordinary. This time, seeing Su Mo continuously defeat pirates and with a ruthless wrist, decisive killings, wise and clever, left an even deeper impression on her.
When she arrived in the demon realm, she didn't expect to run into Su Mo again so soon. She couldn't help but think much and was delighted to make friends with this young man, taking the initiative to approach him, but felt a gaze beside her that seemed somewhat chilly.
She raised her sparkling eyes and immediately saw a mysterious man wearing a veil beside her.
At this moment, the man gave her a sense of familiarity.
The man seemed to glance at her with a slight slant of his eyes, and after seeing her look over, he turned his body around.
Ye Shuang's eyes widened slightly as she hesitated for a moment, and she even wanted to use her divine sense to probe the other party's face, but the other party's strength was unfathomable, making her feel some repulsive force.
So, Ye Shuangshuang ignored the hooded man and turned to Su Mo, smiling and saying: "Your name is Xiao Mo, right? Welcome to this place, my brother and I, as well as other people from the Mo Gate, have already set up our camp here. Everyone has different tasks, and some are on duty outside keeping watch. Everything is in order now. Do you two need a camp? I can provide one for you!
She smiled at Su Mo, but Shi Ying said: "No need, we just want to be quiet."
Su Mo gave him a sideways glance, of course knowing his intention, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
Ye Shuang's eyes were filled with a hint of puzzlement, and she said, "Actually, it's safer to have more people. Someone can go hunting, someone will cook, and so far we haven't lost anyone. All thanks to Xiao Mo Shixiong."
As she spoke, Ye Shuangshuang's eyes sparkled with a deep gaze at Su Mo.
Never had he met a girl so passionate, and felt the sincerity from her. It was then that Su Mo seriously looked at the girl in front of him, seeing that she wore a dark-colored dress with a simple yet elegant hairstyle, looking young, probably around his age, and could be described as very pretty, with almond-shaped eyes and rosy cheeks, her eyes gleaming with a hint of cleverness and a subtle, mysterious aura.
Although this woman is lively, she is by no means inexperienced in worldly matters.
If it were an ordinary day, Su Mo would also think that coming to this place should be better with more people, she could gather some information, but she and Shi Yuan had another purpose.
Su Mo said softly: "Everyone is a member of the Mo School, so there's no need to be polite."
When the other party took the initiative to talk to her, Ye Shuangshuang immediately happily said: "The demon world is indeed a strange place. My brother and I wanted to come here to explore it. We two love excitement and adventure the most, and we also want to prove our strength, so we came to this place. If you have anything that needs help, just tell me and my brother, we might be able to help you."
Seeing her enthusiasm, Su Mo was slightly taken aback in his heart, but he just looked at her calmly and said, "No need."
Ye Shuang shrugged and glanced around, saying somewhat mysteriously: "Xiao Mo Shixiong, this place is eerie and gloomy, aren't you nervous? Aren't you afraid?"
Su Mo said calmly: "Why should I be nervous and afraid?"
"My brother said it's not safe to run around here, it's very dangerous."
"If you're afraid of danger, then you shouldn't have come here."
Ye Shuangshuang looked at her, a faint and charming smile playing on her lips. She turned to stare at Su Mo, saying bluntly: "Xiao Mo, I really like you."
Su Mo was taken aback and felt a little embarrassed: "Miss Ye..."
Ye Shuang immediately interrupted her, waved her hand and smiled: "If you don't mind, you can call me Shuang. I'm a straightforward person, if I like someone, I really like them, if I don't like someone, I just don't like them. Anyway, I really like you."
Su Mo fell silent for a moment, no woman had ever spoken to her like that before. This girl gave her an indescribable feeling, so she ignored her words and asked lightly: "Is there anything else, Miss Ye?"
Ye Shuangshuang put her hands behind her back and gently twisted her body to the left and right, smiling sweetly: "It's all right now, you can go find my brother, he's in charge of arranging everything."
"Don't bother with this girl, we have our own arrangements." Shī Yuè said as he stepped forward.
A flicker of surprise flashed across Ye Shuang's eyes. Shouldn't she be with them at a time like this? Doesn't everyone fear being alone and prefer to be in a group?
He seems gentle and casual, but his tone is firm and persistent.
"It's true we don't need it, we won't be together with you." Su Mo smiled slightly.
"Is it? What a pity!" Yu Shuangshuang sighed.
Then, she saw Su Mo and Shi Ying walking in another direction together. Ye Shuangshuang stared at them blankly, her eyes somewhat puzzled. At this time, Ye Zhong walked over with a blade of grass in his mouth and said, "Sister, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just didn't expect someone to decline my invitation, it's weird." Ye Shuangshuang slightly narrowed her eyes and touched the tip of her nose with her finger.
"It doesn't matter, some people are just different from ordinary people to begin with." Ye Zheng stretched out his hand and gently patted Ye Shuangshuang's head.
"I really liked that little stranger! Unfortunately, the other party was cold and icy." Ye Shuangshuang's hands were crossed and grasped, her expression somewhat gloomy and speechless.
"Do you like it?" Ye Zhong's breath suddenly caught, and his eyebrows immediately furrowed.
"Brother, it's just a friend's liking." Ye Shuangshuang said with some helplessness.
"How can men and women possibly be friends?" Ye Zhēn snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Ye Shuang immediately felt a little speechless and looked up at the sky in the distance. The sky of the demon realm was different from that of the human world, with two moons hanging low, emitting an eerie glow that changed shape from time to time. Sometimes, a gentle breeze would stir up the clouds in the sky, while at other times, a faint ripple would appear. She couldn't help but mutter softly: "It seems that my second brother is really a troublemaker! He's so petty and suspicious, always doubting others. My older brother is better, although he can be cold and icy sometimes, but his aura is still quite masculine."
……
Under the eerie two moons, a blue misty fog surrounds the area.
Su Mo and Shi Ying didn't go too far, they were just next to the crowd at the Mo Gate. As soon as Shi Ying made a move, a set of courtyards appeared in the forest, which was exactly Shi Ying's small villa.
If someone from the Mo School saw this scene in front of them, they would definitely be shocked and stunned, with their eyes wide open and tongue tied.
Su Mo was already familiar with his methods, and in their past lives, the two of them had traveled to many places together, carrying the Ink Pavilion. At this moment, as she watched Master Sui's every move, it still seemed so captivating, elegant, and picturesque, yet somehow unreal, stirring up ripples in her heart.
Shi Yin took a glance at the sign of Shi Yin Xiao Zhu, as if appreciating this small building in the demon realm.
In a daze, a thought seemed to flash through his mind. Shi Yin immediately got up and changed the sign of the small pavilion, then gently patted the dust off his hands, turned around and smiled warmly at Su Mo, "Was it like this in our past life?"
Su Mo nodded, "Not bad, it was like this in my previous life."
Shi Yin continued to set up a formation around them, the formation was dense and even a single insect could not fly in.
After he finished arranging everything, he looked up at the sky, his lips pursed into a thin line, and let out a soft sigh.
At this time, Shī Yuè turned around again and said softly: "Mò ér, I'll go set up the formation in the back, you wait for me."
Su Mo nodded, "Alright, I'll wait for you here."
At this moment, Su Mo looked around at the surroundings, facing a curved small river, but the water flowing in it was very warm. The scenery around was beautiful and magnificent, but he felt a bit strange. Since entering the entrance of the demon world, he hadn't encountered a single sea monster, it was extremely quiet, which made him feel quite puzzled.
At this time, there was no one around, she couldn't help but lightly tap the Heavenly Book and asked with her divine sense: "Are you there?"
After a while, a young man's voice came from inside: "I'm here."
Su Mo took a deep breath and immediately asked: "By the way, are the things stored in the Heavenly Book sufficient? Are they enough to use?"
The young man was taken aback and didn't expect her to ask such things. After a while, he said, "It's fine, what's wrong with the woman?"
Su Mo continued: "I have arrived at the demon realm, what is it that you need here?"
The young man's tone softened a bit and said, "No need, nothing special, just remember to collect some rare items, my space can be left for you to use."
Su Mo smiled and said: "I don't know how much you understand about the demon world? What's different about this place? Can you tell me in detail, so I can get twice the result with half the effort?"
The young man was still a bit moved, but as soon as he heard her ask such questions, he immediately lost his temper and said: "Woman, in your heart you only know how to take advantage of me, I overestimated you just now."
Su Mo smiled calmly, "You originally made a life-and-death contract with me, it was just mutual exploitation."
The young man immediately said with a huff: "You're really shameless, you profit-driven woman who forgets righteousness."
Su Mo couldn't help but smile wryly, "So you actually think that way in your heart. I thought you were at least one of my friends, and I still had some special feelings for you."
"Friend? Not ordinary?" The young man's tone was slightly better.
"Not bad." Su Mo nodded slightly.
"Alright! I suppose you still have a bit of conscience." The young man said with a sidelong glance.
"Of course, we have a conscience. We two are in the same boat, if one of us is honored, the other will also be; if one of us suffers a loss, the other will too. So you shouldn't feel awkward either." Su Mo sat on a withered tree stump, leisurely swinging his legs as he spoke.
At this moment, the young man suddenly appeared from the heavenly book. His handsome face showed more blood color, with a noble and elegant temperament, his skin looked crystal clear like jade, his figure was straight, his eyebrows were like a painting, indeed a beautiful young man with an extraordinary appearance.
"Long time no see." Su Mo smiled lightly at him, sizing him up from head to toe.
The young man felt uneasy under Su Mo's gaze, and unconsciously turned his body sideways, facing her with a cold smile: "Indeed it has been a long time since we last met, because I didn't want to come out casually, seeing you being all lovey-dovey with others, sweet and affectionate, I simply couldn't be bothered to come out." The young man crossed his arms, his eyes gleaming with cold arrogance.
Su Mo sighed: "Currently, all things I've done are in order, step by step, never falling behind in cultivation, right?"
He glanced at Su Mo and said in a low voice, "A woman like you is indeed rare, on one hand, you're flirtatious, on the other hand, you're making money to cultivate yourself. This young master is completely speechless about you. However, this place is very dangerous, and I couldn't let you be too careless, or else you wouldn't even know how you'd die. Therefore, I had no choice but to come out and give you some advice, because I roughly understand this place, but don't get too full of yourself."
"Thank you." Su Mo raised his head and looked at him.
"I've already told you not to overthink it."
"I just wanted to thank you."
The young man was suddenly speechless.
However, at this time a man's elegant voice came from outside, "Mo Er, is this your friend?"
The master's belt had already been casually walked over, Su Mo was taken aback, and the young man was shocked.
Su Mo was astonished that the secret between her and Tian Shu youth was unexpectedly discovered one day, and that person was Shi Ying.
Although she didn't intentionally hide it, she wouldn't expose the young man to others without his consent.
But the young man took a deep breath, yet was astonished that he had clearly sensed it, this man could still discover himself, appearing and disappearing like a ghost, now he couldn't even hide in time.
Shi Yin's footsteps slowed down, her eyes fell on the young man's body, and she smiled softly. "Nice to meet you, I'm Shi Yin."
The young man stared blankly at him, and it was a long time before he came to himself. After a long while, he finally said: "You... how did you discover me?"
"Because I've already sensed something extraordinary, and I had a feeling about it earlier." Master Sheng smiled gently, his eyebrows slightly raised, and walked with elegance.
He slowly turned around, his eyes looking at Su Mo with a low smile, "Mo Er, since we have such a guest, we really shouldn't neglect him."
"Ayin, this is a long story." Su Mo curved his mouth and let out a light sigh.
"In that case, let's just drop it." Shi Yin smiled warmly, with a very magnanimous expression. "Young master, come in and have a cup of tea with me!"
The young man folded his arms and hummed softly, his face twisted in a scowl. Unfortunately, the man opposite him was truly unfathomable.
……
Gently flowing water, turbulent currents, moonlight ripples.
The surface of the water was blown by the wind and suddenly cracked, and then gathered together.
Three people entered the Shī Yuàn Xiǎo Zhù, inside the mechanism brought out all kinds of delicious food, making one's mouth water.
The beautiful young man, although seeing outsiders for the first time, did not show any discomfort and quickly adapted to this place, with a cold and proud face.
"So you've been hiding in the heavenly book all along!" Shī Yuān smiled gently, and that heavenly book seemed to be inside Mò ér's clothes!
"Not bad." The young man's face was stared at by the other party, making him a bit uncomfortable. The man seemed to be able to see through everything, leaving him nowhere to hide.
"By the way, are you familiar with the demon world?" Shī Yuè poured tea and water for the three of them, then asked softly.
"It's fine." The young man snorted coldly.
"May I introduce you to a few people?" asked Shi Ying with a soft smile.
The young man said in a bad mood: "I don't like talking nonsense, I'm not in a good mood."
Su Mo brought him some dim sum, "This is your favorite, I specially prepared it."
"Alright, woman," the young man coughed twice and said, "I can tell you that the strange beasts in this place like to live in different areas and prefer to gather in groups. So, whatever you do, don't run around randomly here, or else if you accidentally encounter one of the local strange beasts, it won't be just one or two or three... who knows how you'll end up dead."
The teacher nodded slowly, with a hint of a smile on his lips, and a thoughtful expression.
Su Mo asked: "How big is the demon world?"
The young man said slowly: "The demon world is very small, so small that you can't imagine it, like the size of a city, but here is very strange."
"Interesting, very interesting."
Young man said: "Yes! This place is small, but the proliferation of demon tribe's strange beasts is very powerful, so after the space crack, they will rush out."
Su Mo nodded, "I see."
At this time, Shi Yin's hand under the chair lightly touched Su Mo's hand, writing words in her palm. Whatever he cared about was written on Su Mo's palm, and it felt wonderful. Every stroke seemed to be written directly on Su Mo's heart, making her feel numb, soft, and ticklish. Su Mo knew that he deliberately didn't use telepathy, but instead chose this method.
Su Mo smiled and said: "Then is there anything else I need to pay attention to here?"
The young man said coldly, "In the past, some of the demon realm were spatial rifts in the demon world. There are spatial storms there, and people can only enter from one side but cannot return from the other side. So don't go there, or you will definitely not come back."
Su Mo rarely heard of the Demon Realm and immediately asked in a low voice: "Is it even more terrifying there?"
Shi Yin narrowed his eyes, thinking of the cooperation between Tiankong City and the Demon Realm.
The young man turned his eyes, not looking at her, and slowly said: "It's not scary, but the demon world doesn't have money to get in or out. The demon world is a world of money everywhere, and it's not suitable for human survival. Some people go in and never come back, becoming laborers, working until they die. So you need to earn a lot of silver coins, so that you can help this young master later."
Su Mo's eyes sparkled with an astonishing light as he blinked, "So you're saying that you have a connection to the Demon Realm?"
The young man gritted his teeth and nodded, "I am indeed related to the demon world."
Shi Yin continued to ask: "By the way, does Huashan know about that?"
"He knew it, didn't he, Lord Demon Envoy?" Su Mo smiled and replied, his eyes slightly teasing.
The young man let out a cold sigh, suppressing his disgust towards Hua Xiangyue, and said indifferently: "Hua Xiangyue is also from the Demon Realm. The Demon Realm is a place where every inch of land is precious, and there are many powerful demon cultivators. Each family is extremely wealthy and influential. If you don't have money, it's best not to go there. Even an ordinary demon citizen can be worth tens of thousands of gold coins. If the three realms were allowed to interact freely, many demons would bully the citizens of the Human Realm because demons are naturally fond of fighting."
"It seems that it's indeed not right to let the three realms communicate with each other." Shī Yuàn said slowly.
"But these places are quite interesting." Su Mo listened with relish.
"Hmph, among the demon clan, the richest person is Hua Xierong, but he's a big swindler. He spent a huge sum of money to become the Demon Envoy and often travels between the human and demon realms, buying at low prices in the human realm and selling at high prices in the demon realm. No one can imagine just how wealthy he is. However, I, the young master, am extremely displeased with him, yet also admire him. Nevertheless, the demon realm isn't a good place; money can corrupt people. Woman, if you go there, be careful." The youth seemed to have some disdain for wealth, snorting in contempt.
"So one day I'll have to go to the Demon Realm too?" Su Mo looked at him, his eyes calm.
"Not bad, this young master is a demon realm person, of course he has to go back." The youth said proudly.
"Mò ér, you have made a life-and-death contract with him. It seems that we cannot avoid sending the Buddha to the west." Shī yuàn also said so.
"In short, there's no silver in the demon realm, so don't even think about going. You want me to earn more silver, only then can I send you in, right?" Su Mo smiled as he looked at him.
"Not bad, that's why I let you increase your strength. Only those with real power have silver." The young man frankly opened the skylight and spoke straightforwardly.
"I understand, but helping you should have some benefits, right!" Su Mo smiled lightly, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
"This young master, isn't it that nobody in this world likes to give others their silver for nothing?" Shi Mai smiled slyly at the youth.
"Don't worry, woman, you'll get your benefits later." The young man's eyes gleamed with a hint of arrogance.
"But I'd rather see the benefits in front of me." Su Mo smiled faintly.
"Yes, after all, my Mò'er is not a woman from a wealthy and noble family. I hope you won't bully her because of her youth." Shī Yuān still had a smile on the corner of his lips.
The young man furrowed his brow and suddenly felt as if these two people were plotting against him.
There's another mouthful of ink, really uncomfortable to listen to.
"From now on, I'll help you more often, and Su Mo also wants to take me to the Demon Realm." The young man snorted coldly.
At this time, the young man suddenly transformed into a black cat-like appearance and said in a cold voice: "I will help you make money here. The things in the demon world are rare in the world, and it is extremely rare for humans to enter the demon world. The demon tribe cannot enter either. The opportunity of the spatial crack once every 100 years is hard to come by, so we must take advantage of it to make a big profit. In the future, I will also use this appearance to come out frequently. If there's anything valuable here, just go and take it, anyway, it won't be wrong."
Su Mo helplessly spread his hands and said: "But the space of the Heavenly Book is extremely limited."
Now her agency people, law enforcement, and many materials are all packed tightly in space.
Shi Yin also smiled, "My own Qian Kun bag is also full."
The young man said calmly: "It's okay, I have enough space there. Even if you move the entire demon realm over, I still have room."
Shi Yin smiled slightly, "The Xuanji Heavenly Book is indeed a heavenly object, with the universe inside."
Su Mo couldn't help but laugh slyly, "Oh? The Heavenly Book is that big? You actually gave me such a small place?"
The boy coughed and said, "Because I didn't like you before, so..."
"Very good, very good." Su Mo sneered.
The young man fell silent.
"By the way, what's your name?"
"My name is Rong Shu." The young man didn't stay silent this time.
"It's actually Rong Gongzi." Shifu smiled elegantly, "I remember it now, and it's a good name indeed."
"Rong Xu!" Su Mo muttered to himself several times, feeling somewhat annoyed that the other person had told Shi Yun but not him.
At this time, the black cat looked at Su Mo with a cold and arrogant gaze. Seeing the other's displeased expression, he felt that his revenge was quite good. "Hmph, woman, my name is not to be called casually. In short, woman, if you want me to do more things in the future, be nicer to me."
Shi Yin smiled shallowly, "Mo Er, you'd better be more obedient. Anyway, he'll leave you soon and return to the Demon Realm."
The young man immediately had an expression of blowing his beard and staring with wide eyes.
At this moment, the Arctic Fox looked around and walked in with a ** step, entering the house to take a look at the black cat. Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she felt that there was another pet here, and it seemed that she was no longer alone.
It then sized up its opponent again, walked around the black cat in a circle, but the young man was too lazy to pay attention to it.
Su Mo had already stood up and lightly brushed off the dust on his body, saying: "Rong Su and Bing Hu, you two stay here first. I'll go out and take a look at the surroundings around us. If anything happens, remember to call me."
The young man hummed coldly and said, "This young master is not a pet."
The arctic fox was startled when it suddenly heard the black cat speak human words, and was frightened to the point where its fur stood on end.
……
The pine forest is quiet, the lake water is gurgling, the moon reflects the tree shadows, and the water flows clear and secluded.
When Su Mo returned to the backyard, he saw Shi Ying's white back in the distance, looking far away, his body seemed a bit stiff.
Su Mo couldn't help but smile, and a silent sigh immediately spread from the bottom of his heart. Is this guy going to get married? He's a bit nervous, isn't he?
"Ah Yin." Su Mo chuckled softly and called out in a low voice from afar.
However, the other party did not react at all and remained silent. Su Mo thought he hadn't heard him, so he elegantly walked to Shi Ying's front, slowly stretched out his hand to hold his arm, and gently leaned his head on his body.
How did she know that when she just touched her master's hem, he suddenly shook his body slightly, as if he had just come back to himself.
"Mò ér, you're back." Shī yuàn's gaze fell on Sū Mò, and he stretched out his hand to wrap around her, gently holding her in his own arms. He lowered his head and lightly touched his forehead to hers, his hands softly caressing her back as he tightly hugged her, as if she were the most precious treasure in the world. At the same time, both of them could feel the two hearts beating closely together.
Su Mo seemed to have sensed something was off and raised an eyebrow, asking softly: "A Xuan, what's wrong?"
"There's nothing, I've already been discovered just now."
Su Mo knew that he had been fleeing in his previous life, although she wasn't clear about what was going on, but felt that it must be very troublesome. She immediately asked: "By the way, who is the other party? Is this person very powerful?"
Shi Yin looked at her with a gentle smile, tightly hugging her, and slowly said: "Yes! The other party is a troublesome person, he is my senior brother."
Senior brother? Su Mo remembered him mentioning this senior brother before, whose strength was quite formidable.
Indeed, the person who can make Shifu head ache is probably only this senior brother, right?
"What have you done? You've actually offended your senior brother?" Su Mo immediately raised his eyebrows, intentionally lecturing him.
"Wronged! Wife, I really didn't offend him." Shī Yuè's lips always hung with a faint, beautiful smile, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, yet gently and lazily calling her "wife".
"Ah Yin, why is that?" Su Mo's gaze slowly slanted towards him.
"Moke, it's really a case of 'the innocent are not guilty, but those who possess jade are guilty'. As my husband, I have abilities that surpass ordinary people, and my brother-in-law is someone who loves to pursue power. So, all the extraordinary people in the world are targets for him to bring under his control. But now, he's fixated on me, making me feel extremely helpless!" Shuangyan's lips curled up into a gentle smile.
"Ayin is so formidable, then your senior brother must be even more formidable." Su Mo leaned on his body, looking at him sideways.
"Not bad, he's a character, but different paths don't make for good company." Shi Yin replied quietly.
"I know you don't like pursuing power, you like doing as you please." Su Mo's lips curled up with a smile, gazing at him gently.
"Not bad, I like traveling freely, but my senior brother has always been very interested in my skills and won't give up on me, he wants me to assist him. " Master Yan looked at her with a gentle smile, stretched out his hand and gently scratched her nose, "But I want to get married and have children, I wish we could retreat from the world together, live in seclusion, and have many kids, one every year would be best."
"Ayin, I'm not a sow." Su Mo glared at him.
"No way, I'm a bit anxious." Shī Yuè lightly smiled and wrapped her arms around her shoulders, giving a slight smile.
Su Mo's eyes slightly turned, looking at him with a hint of a smile: "A Xian, you used to be a gentleman."
The teacher immediately said: "A gentleman is also a human being, but humans can get sick."
"What's wrong?" Her voice was full of tenderness.
"I have a rare disease, I love beauty." The teacher's eyes sparkled with fire, and was very different from usual.
Su Mo smiled lightly and couldn't help but bite his neck, "What about your senior brother?"
Shi Yin let out a soft sigh as he was bitten, and couldn't help but lower his head to deeply kiss the plump red lips in front of him. The kiss was gentle like water, yet passionate like fire, and it wasn't until after a long while that he reluctantly parted their lips, saying slowly: "If the other party discovers I've left, they'll definitely go to great lengths to find me. But what's most important for us is being together, and this place is the demon realm, not an ordinary place. I'm afraid of having too many dreams at night, so I'm eager to make a contract with you."
"I understand." Su Mo smiled lightly.
"Right, how do we make a contract?" Shī Yuàn asked.
"I remember it was something about getting married, but I'm not very clear on the specifics."
"Want to get married?" The master sucked in a breath of cold air.
"What's wrong?" Su Mo looked at him with a faint smile.
"Trouble." Master Sengen smiled gently and spoke a heartfelt word from deep within.
"What's troublesome?" Su Mo stared at him, not thinking that getting married was a troublesome matter at all.
"Not bad, the wedding ceremony is quite troublesome! And it's going to take half a day to set up!" Master Shi Yan said with a gentle smile on his lips and a serious expression, "In the immortal world, I've never heard of a wedding ceremony, only the grand ritual of dual cultivation. The cultivators' weddings are usually very simple, just drinking the nuptial wine is enough. But we two are in a very special place now. Although there aren't many rules here, our purpose for being here is to make a contract, but ultimately it's for the sake of fulfilling our marital duties. So, the wedding ceremony and contract can be delayed for a while."
Su Mo looked at him, stunned for a moment, and in front of her was still the elegant and refined Shizun from her previous life?
"I'll go with you first to pay our respects in London, and then we can return to complete the wedding ceremony, what do you think?"
Su Mo stared at him with her eyes wide and tongue-tied, never expecting him to say something like that.
The master's lips were always adorned with a elegant smile, yet he stretched out his slender hand and gently swept her in the direction of himself, embracing her in his arms. Su Mo's hands wrapped around his neck, his hands holding onto her legs, "It's getting late at night, why don't we start right away, how about it?"
……
Tiankong City, the man in purple clothes looked at Shifeng, and the two of them stared at each other.
One person stands tall and slender, with a refined and handsome appearance, their eyes gleaming with intelligence. Another person has a gentle smile, soft and elegant, like jade polished to perfection.
One person is like a purple sun in the sky, another person is like a bright moon in the starry night, but both are extremely handsome men.
"Master Shiying, it's been a long time since I last played chess with you." Xie Qiuye said with a cold gaze.
"Hmm, I know your chess skills are not as good as mine, it's better if we don't play." Master Sui smiled lightly and slowly stretched, looking a bit sleepy.
Xie Qianye deliberately didn't look at him, coldly saying: "In the past, my chess skills may not have been as good as yours, but now that military strategy is like a game of chess, and the world is like a game of chess. Since I can control this world, how could I not win against you?" But then Xie Qianye took out a Go board, sat down across from him, and set up the pieces.
The master sighed softly, "I'm afraid... I don't like playing chess anymore."
The man in purple robes sneered, "In this place, you will listen to me. If I hadn't discovered it today, I don't know how long you would have continued to deceive me. You actually snuck out of the Sky City on your own, you're really talented."
"Master, I'm still sitting here alive and well, aren't I?"
The man in purple clothes snorted, "It's indeed you sitting here. I didn't expect Father to pass on his ultimate technique to you before he died, rather than me, his own son."
Shi Yin smiled elegantly: "Master is not biased towards me, and this kind of ultimate skill can only be easily learned by those who are not concerned with court politics. Moreover, it takes a lot of time to practice, you like to manipulate people's power tactics, which is fundamentally unsuitable for this ultimate skill."
The man in purple robes hesitated for a moment, "It's indeed impossible for me to spend a year in seclusion, but this secret technique is quite suitable for you."
Shi Yin smiled and said: "Thank you for Master Brother's gift."
The man in purple robes had already taken a step down with the black chess piece, and said coldly: "I know that you have been in seclusion for a year to turn your shadow into another completely identical self, possessing flesh and blood of the same shape, taking away half of your strength. Your main body is controlling two parts at the same time, one is here hiding its light and biding its time, while the other is outside traveling freely. This technique is good, but unfortunately you are a person without a shadow."
Shi Yin smiled lightly and put down a white chess piece, "That's why Shixiong discovered this secret."
The man in purple picked up a black bead, pondered for a moment, and slowly dropped it. "This technique is extremely taxing on the mind, and two bodies are not suitable for long-term separation. It seems that you have been away for two months now, and your current weakness isn't surprising. What's strange is what the other you is doing?"
Shi Yin smiled lightly, "Mm, I'm a bit homesick!"
"Oh? You actually know 'le bu si shu'?"
"Not bad, playing chess and all that, I really have no interest in it."
At this time, Shī Yuè let out a soft sigh. At this moment, he thought of the bridal chamber and that was an extremely mentally exhausting thing.
But Xie's brothers and sisters are all very annoying, liking to disturb his major life events.
The master held the white piece in his hand, a smile on his lips, and casually placed it in a corner, causing the man in purple to pause, looking at him with deep eyes, "This doesn't seem like your usual move."
Shi Yin smiled and said, "I'll change into something else."
Forget it, let's just go into the bridal chamber first and talk later, whoever loses at chess will be the one.

Digression
The list of thank-yous is very long, and even after compression, it can't be contained, so I had to put them separately in the postscripts of chapters 107 and 108.
In addition, I only asked for votes on June 1st, so there's no need to spend extra money on the following days. This article is written in a low-key tone, so it can maintain its ranking on the ticket chart for two or three days last month, which makes me very happy. Also, tomorrow, the teacher and his disciples will be together again.
