Meng Qi’s idea was simple. These men were equally handsome, but because Qin Xiumo still owed her money, she could make him follow her words.

Qin Xiumo was startled, but soon the corner of his lips curled up. Did it mean that Meng Qi considered him to be more handsome than these two?

“…Okay.” He nodded. Without breaking eye contact with Meng Qi, his fingers began to fiddle with his belt, and he asked with a somewhat hoarse voice: “Are you sure I should do this?” Qin Xiumo glanced at Chu Tianfeng triumphantly.

Damn! Chu Tianfeng was a little aggrieved. His appearance, family background, body figure, and even cultivation talent didn’t lose to Qin Xiumo. Not to mention he was full of vitality now, unlike Qin Xiumo, a sickly patient who hasn’t been recovered yet.

But why did Meng Qi choose this guy over himself?!

“Yeah.” Meng Qi answered casually. She took out a porcelain bottle from her storage space and handed it to Qin Xiumo: “Sprinkle it on your body.”

“What is this?”

“Just in case you get injured by immortal devouring vine.” After explaining, Meng Qi continued to walk.

Chu Tianfeng took a step forward and walked side by side with her. He whispered: “Can he do it? What if they aren’t interested in him?”

“What are you talking about?” Qin Xiumo had already taken off his robe, exposing his upper body. He was severely injured when facing a tribulation. Afterward, to avoid the chasing from the former best friend who wanted to kill him, he escaped from the Southern Realm where his sect was located and stayed at the bottom of Qingfeng Valley’s cold pond for a long time. At this moment, his originally healthy tanned skin still looked a little pale.

However, Qin Xiumo was young, and he recovered well. His naked upper body showed no trace of fat, and looked firm and strong. While sprinkling the powder on his body, Qin Xiumo walked to Meng Qi and asked: “Is this okay?”

Meng Qi glanced at him lightly. Her gaze was clear without the slightest ripple. She turned to look at Su Junmo: “How? Is this okay?”

“…ah.” Su Junmo’s eyes flashed. He didn’t know what to say. “It’s okay.” Meng Qi’s eyes were clear and calm. She obviously showed no ripples when looking at the half-naked Qin Xiumo. But did she know?! The white tiger clan was a rarity in the Demon Realm. Once they found a partner, they would become a celestial demon royal family for life. Their possessiveness was absolutely outstanding among three races of human, demon, and devil.

Su Junmo tried to guess Meng Qi’s mind. Although she had no special feelings for Qin Xiumo, she obviously thought that he was good looking. If the Lord knew…

Aaah!!

Su Junmo couldn’t help but shiver.

“Su Junmo, Su Junmo?”

“Huh?” Su Junmo was too deep in his thought, and it took Meng Qi several calls before he came back to his sense. “What?”

“You… be careful. Look at the road when you walk.” Meng Qi stared at Su Junmo for a moment. This guy seemed to become weird since they left Huajiang Manor. His eyes always moved between herself and Qin Xiumo, and even more strangely, he was still quiet even after they were away from the crowd.

“Oh…oh, okay!” Su Junmo nodded and seriously began to observe their surrounding.

All four of them were cultivators, and their speed wasn’t slow. They quickly left the vicinity of the city and entered the depths of the forest. The deeper they walked, the denser the forest was. Branches and leaves blocked the sun, and the surrounding gradually became dim. Sunlight occasionally shone in tiny light spots from between the foliage. But except for the wind blowing leaves and some bird’s tweet, the forest was silent.
