Mo Jiu maneuvered Huoyan until he was next to close to Gu Long and then he whispered, "Organize the group and keep going. I'll handle this."

"But-" A single glare from Mo Jiu shut Gu Long up. He sighed and nodded. "Keep going." He said to the other disciples as Mo Jiu dove downwards.

"Brother Jiu!"

"Jiu-gege!"

"Boss!"

The disciples shouted at the same time. He Yuan rolled his eyes and maneuvered his artifact to dive down too. He was a little dumbfounded. A scream was heard, wouldn't the best option be for the entire group to collectively descend and offer help?

Why was Mo Jiu always thoughtlessly rushing forward into danger? He Yuan was pretty sure that if someone should ask, Mo Jiu's excuse would be that he wanted to protect the group.

What bullshit. They were all adults so why should Mo Jiu make that decision for the rest of them? As soon as He Yuan made a move to descend, Gu Long shouted out, "Mo Sheng!"

He Yuan rolled his eyes. "Do I look like I answer to Mo Jiu?" And then he descended.

Gu Long grit his teeth and turned to Han Wei. "Handle the group." And then he dived right after.

Han Wei, who was suddenly thrust with the responsibility of heading the group, froze for a moment before leading them away.

Gu Long finally caught up with He Yuan and hopped onto the lotus artifact besides him. "What are you doing?!" He never bothered with Mo Jiu because Mo Jiu was strong enough to protect himself and would always come out of situations such as these fairly unharmed.

Mo Sheng, on the other hand, could not cultivate. How would he handle himself in the face of danger?

He Yuan ignored Gu Long and closely followed after Mo Jiu. Whenever Mo Jiu was left alone like this, it meant that he was about to encounter extremely good fortune. He Yuan's mission was to slow down Mo Jiu's unrealistic advancement speed so how could he sit by and do nothing?

After chasing for a while, He Yuan lost Mo Jiu. The entire forest also became silent with the occasional sound of spirit beasts. "Fuck!" He Yuan cursed under his breath. After searching for a while, he gave up. It was too late, nothing could be done so he maneuvered his lotus artifact to return to the sect.

Gu Long stared as He Yuan folded his arms with a scary frown on his face. He opened and closed his mouth a few times but nothing came out so he lowered his head and remained silent. Why had Mo Sheng even chased after Mo Jiu in the first place?

Once in the sect, He Yuan dropped Gu Long off and went straight to Mo Sheng's courtyard in the Converging peak. The fact that he'd destroyed the ten-thousand-year beast core had somehow messed up the timeline in this task.

Mo Jiu had gotten the red horned rabbit earlier than was scheduled. Elder Mo had come out of the first seclusion later than was scheduled. Now Mo Jiu going off to who knows where in the forest had happened. That event did not even take place in the storyline. What was this task turning into?

He Yuan paced about the courtyard. He was most worried about Mo Jiu's cultivation. Before the spirit beast hunt, he was very much certain that Mo Jiu was in the middle stage of Core formation. The man had a shrouding ring so He Yuan couldn't physically tell but he had based his judgement off the storyline.

After the spirit beast hunt though, Mo Jiu had come out with an extra spirit beast. Not just any spirit beast but the one that was supposed to come in the future. It shouldn't be forgotten that Mo Jiu had been missing for three days.

To be able to contract two powerful spirit beasts at once, it was impossible for Mo Jiu to be in the middle stage of Core formation which meant that Mo Jiu must have encountered a treasure that somehow performed the work of the beast core.

If Mo Jiu's cultivation increased to the point where he would be able to unify the entire realm then He Yuan would fail his main task of realm balance. A world with only one governing system with no opposing force to balance it out was doomed to collapse.

He Yuan sighed. He suddenly missed his novice test task. All he had to do was create a drift between the two special ones and then boom, realm balance. This intermediate test task was no joke, he had to deal with the consequences of the butterfly effect.

It was as if the heavens dutifully granted Mo Jiu another way out for every way that was blocked by He Yuan.

Time flew by without He Yuan noticing and by the time he did, it was already night time. He sighed and decided to head over to the spiritual lake to relax.

As soon as He Yuan stepped out of Mo Sheng's courtyard, he froze. Mo Jiu had just arrived and was walking towards his own courtyard carrying a woman, bridal style, in his arms.

Normally, He Yuan would've paid no mind to this but he could swear he saw a white fox tail with blue streaks. Again, there was nothing too special about Mo Sheng sleeping with demonic cultivators but that particular fox tail was familiar to He Yuan.

The female demonic cultivator with the yin constitution that boosted Mo Jiu's cultivation had a fox demon half and she was white with blue streaks all over. She was supposed to show up in two years time. Why did she show up now?

He Yuan's mind drifted to the scream in the forest earlier. That must have been her! He quickly ran towards Mo Jiu's courtyard. Mo Jiu had an extra barrier around his courtyard but now that He Yuan could cultivate, he could figure out the loophole and enter.

It was quite easy as all barriers on the Converging peak had a single base and Mo Jiu's barrier was the weakest. Not because he couldn't out up a strong one but because he had a lot of sex partners that were allowed to enter and leave his courtyard as they pleased.

Mo Jiu was this lax because he was overconfident in his strength. He was Mo Jiu, the strongest of his generation, who would be so stupid as to walk straight into his courtyard, into his own zone, to harm him?

He Yuan arrived at the courtyard immediately after them so he was able to latch on to the weak point in the barrier that was still fresh from being recently used. He got to work.

Mo Jiu stared down at the alluring woman in his arms. He'd never seen a person more beautiful. Xing Mei. Even her name left a beautiful taste in his mouth and tickled his heart.

After he'd traced the source of the scream in the forest, he'd found this beauty being argued over by a bunch of righteous and evil cultivators. He'd quickly taken care of the evil cultivators and reprimanded the righteous cultivators, hence, saving the beauty.

Xing Mei looked up at the handsome brother carrying her so gently. She'd never been treated with so much care before. Ever since she escaped, she'd either been lusted over by others for her yin physique or chased after to be refined for the same reason.

Even her own father had tried to refine her and that was why she ran away from home a week ago. She had been kept indoors all her life. Her father had told her the outside world was scary and she'd believed him.

He was right after all. They all wanted to harm her. It was a good thing the handsome brother had arrived in time.

The handsome brother had saved her from the greedy cultivators and then taken her around the town at the foot of the mountain. He bought her a lot of things to eat and even new clothes and accessories.

She liked shiny things but had not been able to afford one after she escaped. She had been scared that the brother would be just like the rest when he found out about her yin physique but surprisingly, he'd offhandedly mentioned it when he saw how cautious she was being and he said he wasn't bothered by it.

Was there really such a good person in this world? Maybe her father had been wrong after all.

Whilst they were having fun, she'd tripped and sprained her ankle. The brother had carried her all the way here and when they entered this peak, he told her it was okay to release her demonic form to help her heal faster.historical

He was just too caring!

"Are you done looking?" Mo Jiu said with a smile as he stared down on the sexy figure in his arms

Xing Mei blushed as her heart beat furiously. "I- I wasn't looking." She said quickly.

Mo Jiu led her to his room and placed her on the bed. Next, he went about applying healing balm and what not on the sprain and aligning the joint with his spiritual energy.

Soon, one thing led to another and the both of them were joined in a heated kiss. "J- Jiu-ge, you want it too? Just like them?"

Mo Jiu chuckled. "I'm not like them, I love you."

Xing Mei's eyes widened. "Re- really?"

"Of course. For some it takes years to fall in love and for others, just a second is enough. I can feel it deep down, I have an affinity with you. I love you." Mo Jiu said confidently. If there was one thing he was sure of, it was the fact that he loved every single member of his harem.

His heart was just so big that it could contain so many. He was being sincere.

Xing Mei nodded shyly. "Okay." The handsome brother was a better option than the rest anyways.

Clothes flew in different directions and Mo Jiu's organic sausage was about to lock into Xing Mei's organic donut when Xing Mei suddenly disappeared from under him.

Mo Jiu's eyes widened as he his manhood missed and thrust into empty space. He looked around his room. Where did Xing Mei go?

It took a minute for the haze of lust to clear from his mind and then he finally sensed the breach in his barrier. After carefully sensing whose energy it was, Mo Jiu's face reddened in rage.

"MO SHENG!"
