NOVEL NEXT Chapter 45 Have You Seen Enough
Jun Jiu cast a silent glance at herself, blindfolded, and then back at Mo Wuyue. The latter gazed at her with his thin lips curled seductively.
After two seconds of an awkward silence, Jun Jiu remarked, “Have you seen enough?”
Her calm demeanor suggested it was no big deal. Xiao Wu, however, was petrified, having witnessed her owner’s exposure! Escape! Escape now! Xiao Wu spun around and dashed out in a hurry.
Still in place, Mo Wuyue continued to hold Jun Jiu. He encircled her waist with one hand, his fingers brushing against her soft skin. Emerging from the soup pool, Jun Jiu’s skin was warm, radiating an intense heat that seared straight to the depths of his heart.
Raising his silver brows slightly, Mo Wuyue commented, “Skin as fair as snow, tender as fat. Rosy cheeks, slender waist. Absolutely beautiful, a sight one could never tire of.” He was in close proximity to Jun Jiu, his mouth dangerously close, his voice seductively intimate, causing tingles and shivers.
Jun Jiu trembled as if shocked by electricity, yet she didn’t blush or shy away from Mo Wuyue’s teasing and ambiguous words.
Maintaining her composure, Jun Jiu covered her chest, staring coldly at Mo Wuyue. “If you keep looking, I’ll gouge out your eyeballs!”
“Alright, I won’t look.” Mo Wuyue averted his gaze.
However, that lingering gaze still lingered on Jun Jiu, making her frown. Observing Mo Wuyue’s wicked smile, Jun Jiu felt an itch in her hands. He deserved a good beating!
“Meow meow! Master, here I come!”
At this moment, Xiao Wu, who had been slow in escorting, returned. Clutching Jun Jiu’s clothes in her mouth, she sprinted over.
Receiving her clothes, Jun Jiu swiftly stood up from Mo Wuyue’s embrace. In doing so, she intentionally stepped on Mo Wuyue’s thigh. Had she applied a bit more pressure from that angle, Mo Wuyue might have found himself flat on the ground, gasping for breath.
Although it still hurt, Mo Wuyue glanced at the wet imprints on his thigh before shifting his gaze back to Jun Jiu. “Why are you here?” she asked, inquiring about Mo Wuyue’s presence in Tangchi.
“I’m here to protect you,” Mo Wuyue replied, standing up.
His wet clothes, far from being embarrassing, added a provocative touch to his appearance. Jun Jiu couldn’t help but inwardly complain about the man’s uncanny ability to look enticing even in such situations. This man was like a natural disaster!
Upon hearing this, Jun Jiu raised an eyebrow. “To protect me?”
“Yes. When you rushed to cleanse your tendons and cut your marrow, I grew very concerned for your safety. But this concoction seems to be quite effective, and you’re even better. Xiao Jiu’er, congratulations on your successful rebirth!” Mo Wuyue exclaimed.
“Well, thank you,” Jun Jiu responded calmly, raising her chin with pride. “I prepared this concoction myself, so, of course, it’s very effective.”
Mo Wuyue’s golden eyes flashed with a subtle light as he stared deeply at Jun Jiu and approached her. “Xiao Jiu’er, you’re an alchemist?”
“Yes. I am an alchemist,” Jun Jiuer admitted candidly, harboring no intentions of hiding her abilities.
Secretly, she was no longer the Holy Hand Jun Jiu—cautious, meticulous, and solemn. She was the Jun Jiu from her previous life, wilful, capricious, and unyielding, who had once looked down upon the world.
Unbeknownst to Jun Jiu, after receiving her affirmation, Mo Wuyue promptly ordered Leng Yuan to collect the most precious medicinal ingredients. When Leng Yuan heard the request, he was perplexed. “Master, are you planning to study medicinal ingredients?”
“No. Xiao Jiu’er is an alchemist. It would be a nice gesture to present these to her if she takes a liking to them,” Mo Wuyue responded.
Leng Yuan couldn’t help but think, *Master, you’ve changed! You’re no longer the ruthless and unfeeling master I once knew!* Yet, it seemed Mo Wuyue could discern his thoughts. With a cold glance, Leng Yuan’s body immediately stiffened, and he felt like he might burst into tears. Apparently, his master had only changed in front of Jun Jiu; he remained as merciless as ever towards them!
