The boost in strength from the Courageous Sting’s Heart was certainly not sustainable. Soon after the battle ended, Zhan Ye’s strength returned to its original Sixth Rank First Stage. The Courageous Sting’s Heart only provided Zhan Ye with a temporary state, similar to the effect of Blood Pupil Frenzy.
Zhan Ye was recalled back into the Soul Pet Space, and it would take about six days for Zhan Ye’s Limb Regeneration Skill to be replenished with six uses again.
After using half of his soul power to feed the White Nightmare Demon, Chu Mu leaned against the tree and began to enter a meditative state.
It was now the deep autumn season, and sleeping outdoors without a tent would feel somewhat chilly. A Soul Pet Master’s Soul Skill could maintain their body temperature, but few Soul Pet Masters would waste their soul power for this minor temperature issue, especially since preserving soul power in the wild is extremely important.
When sleeping, especially in cold weather, Chu Mu was used to holding MO Ye while meditating. MO Ye possessed flame attributes, and its body radiated heat, providing warmth for Chu Mu.
Ye Qingzi did not continue meditating, and indeed had not rested well during the past few days due to her concern for Ye Wansheng. As she meditated, she unknowingly fell asleep. Perhaps feeling slightly cold in her sleep, she unconsciously shifted her body and leaned towards the warm MO Ye.
MO Ye was lying in Chu Mu’s arms, and Chu Mu was originally concentrating on meditating. Suddenly, he felt a soft, fragrant, and delicate figure leaning in. When he opened his eyes, he was immediately captivated.
Ye Qingzi’s messy black hair was scattered, but Chu Mu could see her charming face. Her eyes were tightly closed, her eyelashes long, and her delicate nose had a mix of cuteness and maturity, tempting one to touch it. The most enticing was her plump, aromatic lips. Thinking of moving closer, Chu Mu wanted to slowly savor them and taste her essence…
“Calm down, calm down…”
Her beautiful face was less than ten centimeters away from him, and Chu Mu’s eyes unintentionally drifted lower while he forced himself to remain calm.
On one hand, stealing a kiss while someone was asleep is an immoral act; on the other hand, Chu Mu felt that Ye Qingzi would definitely be instantly awakened by his kiss, which would be difficult to explain…
In fact, seeing Ye Qingzi sleeping so drowsily provided Chu Mu with some relief. Ye Qingzi was quite intelligent and would rarely give anyone the chance to take advantage of her. The fact that she could sleep so peacefully must mean she trusted Chu Mu and believed that he would not do anything excessive and could ensure her safety.
“MO Ye, give her some warmth,” Chu Mu helplessly shook his head, suppressing his desires.
Chu Mu could express his initial feelings for Chu Qian with a vague kiss, but he felt differently towards Ye Qingzi. Chu Mu did not wish to be too aggressive before the opportune moment, for fear of ruining things…
In fact, Ye Qingzi’s allure to Chu Mu was much greater. Ye Qingzi had a stunning appearance, unique temperament, and an enchanting, curvy figure that made one’s blood boil, especially her beautiful legs that often caused Chu Mu’s imagination to run wild.
Under such massive temptation, Chu Mu bitterly smiled as he spent the night in restlessness. He found it difficult to concentrate on meditating, easily becoming distracted. Eventually, he fell asleep with some fatigue just before daylight.
Early morning, a ray of sunlight fell on Ye Qingzi’s beautiful face, and the warmth on her cheeks gradually awakened her from her deep sleep.
At the moment she opened her eyes, Ye Qingzi saw a handsome face, very close to her own. Even in her initial haze, she felt that their faces were touching.
Ye Qingzi, of course, knew that the person was Chu Mu. Her heart skipped a beat when she realized she had been half-leaning on him as she slept. Slightly flustered, she propped herself up and maintained some distance from Chu Mu.
When Ye Qingzi discovered that she had unconsciously moved herself towards Chu Mu’s position, her cheeks immediately blushed with an attractive pink hue…
“000hh-——-”
MO Ye had already woken up, its adorable eyes looked at Ye Qingzi, who seemed somewhat shy, and made a murmuring noise, seemingly confused by Ye Qingzi’s behavior.
Seeing that Chu Mu hadn’t woken up, Ye Qingzi breathed a slight sigh of relief. After gently stroking MO Ye’s fluffy body, she said, “I’m going to get some water, do you want to drink water?”
“Mmmm—-”
MO Ye immediately nodded.
Ye Qingzi revealed a beautiful smile and walked down the small slope that had been in chaos since last night’s battle, heading straight to the creek…
After grooming herself near the river, Ye Qingzi filled her container with water and went back to Chu Mu.
“Awake?” Ye Qingzi saw Chu Mu had woken up, a faint trace of embarrassment flashed in her beautiful eyes, but she quickly returned to her original calm demeanor, handing the water to MO Ye to drink.
Chu Mu nodded, after briefly washing his mouth and cheek with the water, he pointed to the lush green plains in the distance and said to Ye Qingzi, “Following this plain eastward, we should be able to reach a city.”
“Yes, this plain leads directly to the West Region, Langhe Domain, Langhe City, which is a significant elemental city. I think my brother might have been taken there,” Ye Qingzi said.
“Then let’s not stop in any cities in the Western Region along the way and head directly to Langhe City,” Chu Mu said.
“Yes, that’s what I planned,” Ye Qingzi replied.
Further east of Wogu Domain, there are several other regions. These regions are relatively small, and Ye Qingzi and Chu Mu, riding on Night Thunder
Dream Beast, only took about half a month to reach the border of the Western Region.
In the border of the Western Region, there is a vast desert. In the middle of the desert lies the ancient and legendary Heavenly Boundary Monument.
Chu Mu had already heard many stories about the Heavenly Boundary Monument. When he saw the Heavenly Boundary Monument from afar, while riding on Night Thunder Dream Beast, he felt it was like a long, huge sword inserted upside down into the vast horizon, pointing directly to the sky, with a magnificent aura, causing a powerful visual impact on Chu Mu.
As they got closer, the Heavenly Boundary Monument induced a feeling of insignificance in Chu Mu.
“We have been traveling non-stop for several days, let’s rest here for the night.” Chu Mu saw that Ye Qingzi was starting to look tired, so he suggested.
Ye Qingzi nodded, recalled the Purple Robe Dream Beast and allowed it to rest in her Soul Pet Space while she herself sat down to rest under the Heavenly Boundary Monument.
“I’ll go find some water…” said Chu Mu.
“Alright, be careful.”
Surrounded by desert, finding water sources would not be easy. Chu Mu had to run to a more distant location before he was fortunate enough to find a small oasis, and after filling his container with water, he returned…
