Volume III Chapter 83 Do You Like Me?
“ You…who are you?!”
One has spent all his heart and strength, and endured the pain
of poison attacking his body, grieving as he has tried his best to
find her, only to be asked, “Who I am?!” Mo Yuan’s face
completely turned sinister, “ You are asking me, who I am?”
For Su Su that cold appearance of Mo Yuan was considered to be
normal by many points. The various expressions that appeared
on his face earlier made her more uncomfortable. It is something
she was very unfamiliar. Su Su looked at him secretly, wondering
whether the present environment is no longer an illusion. Until
she is sure, she dared not be too close to this person in front of
her. Presently, the back of her arms hurt so much and she
doesn’t want to be overwhelmed again if she is having an
illusion.
The anger of Mo Yuan dissipated immediately after seeing her
blood-stained shoulders and arms. Her entire arm was covered
with blood stains, and he could barely see the original skin. Even
her back is all covered in scarlet blood. Mo Yuan remembered
earlier that she was lying in a thorny bush as if struggling, but he
doesn’t know why she was struggling. He did not know what she
had seen in the magical fantasyland, only that he knew when he
looks her appearance; he knew she was in grave danger.
"Where are you hurting?" Su Su did not answer but continues
to vigilantly stare at him. His appearance was very bizarre. Mo
Yuan worries that she may have other injuries in addition to her
arms and back. He reached out and tried to pull her to be
examined. Immediately, the moment Mo Yuan moves, Su Su
immediately lifts the copper fan to keep him in a distance, at the
same time she quickly retreats two steps.
As she was thinking what will be her next move, whether it
would be an advantage to initiate an attack or wait and see for
changes to happen calmly. Suddenly, a white familiar shadow
rushes toward her and followed by a sensation that a weight
was added in her shoulder.
"Bajiao?"
Su Su looked down just to see that this little silver fox is no
better than her condition. It has countless scratches both small
and big, and the white silvery hair almost turned scarlet red. It
was lying on her shoulder at the moment, clutching her torn
cloth; its little tongue was licking diligently the wound on her
shoulder. She could not help but shiver a little. It was very itchy.
The sudden appearance of Bajiao made her inexplicably felt
relieved. The itchy sensation on her shoulder was so real that
this can’t be another illusion. This is unlikely to be a
hallucination because previously there was no one present, only
her and mother. Did she finally leave the land of magical
illusion?
Su Su look again indifferently at Mo Yuan who took two steps
forward ignoring her stare and examines her. As he asked
before, he wants to see if she is hurt anywhere else.
Su Su bit her lip and reminded herself not to treat the situation
lightly. If it was indeed Mo Yuan, Li Yang must be nearby. Su Su
felt uncomfortable, for added assurance she asked, “Where is Li
Yang?”
Mo Yuan motioned to looked behind her. She looks back, she
saw Li Yang watching them from 7 to 8 feet distance. Li Yang’s
eyes have an expression of ‘ I am looking at a fool look”. She
ignored him and carefully look around. The snow is still falling,
the wind is much larger than before. The sound of gusts of wind
and fine snow can be heard clearly. The clouds in the sky are
gracefully changing. She seemed to have really come out of the
magical illusion.
Su Su approaches Mo Yuan while keeping her gaze on those
black pupils that has restored its former indifferent look. She
asked, "Are you really Mo Yuan?”
At this moment, Mo Yuan was really ridiculed and madly laughs,
"Then, who do you think I am?”
Su Su grinned in embarrassment and whispered, “I, I thought I
was still hallucinating... Who suddenly made you look like a
different person, and then you shouldn’t be... ..."
"Something is not right!" Su Su’s pupil now flashes with
ominous look and stares with anger at Mo Yuan. At the present,
she nowhere appeared the way she looked now just moment
ago. Between heaven and earth, one can only hear her fierce
scolding in whisper, “Why are you here? Right now, didn't you
know that you do not have internal strength? The poison still
haven't worked out yet. What are you running around? And, did
you drink the medicine? Don't tell me you'd run out without
taking the medicine. What are you thinking! Look! If you could
look at your face, you look even uglier than a ghost!”
The woman in front of him was only able to reach his chest and
her thin arms still dripping with blood. When she was under the
magical spell, he feared that she is in a great crisis but now she
has the gusto to scold him and make him feel guilty just because
he came out searching for her and that he might not have taken
his medicine? This is the first time he was scolded like this. Many
people do not dare scold him, and some people although they
wanted to scold him, they don't part of those thoughts to him.
They couldn't even talk to him, how much more scolding him?
Listening to her scolding him fiercely, Mo Yuan said in between
chuckles, “ I drank the medicine."
"..."
Su Su left speechless by his words. She does not understand why
he is chuckling, laughing for no reason? The medicine needs to
be drunk, and he drank it. Well, but what was worth laughing
out, and laughing like that... happily. Su Su felt like there is
something wrong with Mo Yuan, but she also doesn’t seem to be
quite right, too. She felt extremely shallow, like a snow in the
winter being melted by his happiness, her heart is surprisingly
jumping and beating very fast...
In order to hide her peculiar feeling, she looked away and
stopped looking at him. She said, "Well then, no more words,
let’s go back first."
Bajiao is still diligently licking her wounds on her shoulders and
she knew that this little fellow was trying to help her stop
bleeding. He was too small to stop all the bleeding. She was
pierced by huge thorns. They are relatively large and look scary.
In fact, the wounds are not that deep and also not that painful.
Su Su took Bajiao from her shoulders down to her arms gently,”
Bajiao go lick your own wounds first. I will go back, put some
medicine and I will be fine.”
Bajiao obediently nests in Su Su Su arm, when she saw that she
was about to turn around, it suddenly jumped out of her arms
and ran deeper inside the thorns. Su Su saw that it passed
through under the thorny bushes. "Where are you going,
Bajiao? Where are you going? Come back here!" She is now
hurting, cold and hungry. This little guy is not helping at all. She
just wants to catch it and teach it a lesson!
Su Su is ready to chase after the little scoundrel and pull it out of
the thorny bushes when suddenly her wrists were held tightly.
She turns around and saw the big hand holding her back.
Mo Yuan gestured at Li Yang who quickly ran to the bushes of
thorns to seize Bajiao. When the thorn gets thicker, the little
silver fox couldn’t run fast. It could not escape anymore, making
it easy for Li Yang to catch it. This time, Su Su finally felt relieved
but at the same time, she felt the tightening on her wrist did not
loosen. Su Su was puzzled and in a gentle voice asks, “ What’s
going on?”
Mo Yuan did not say anything but his other free hand fished
something from his waist and that familiar yellow paper
enveloped was placed in her hand once more. Looking down at
the yellow paper on her palm, she remembers what Mo Yu told
her before. She can’t help but be alarmed, “ Lingcao?”
Mo Yuan ignored her panic-stricken expression. In a deep sinking
voice, he said, "Hold onto this. With this, you do not need fear
any Mohist magical illusions, at most you will be surrounded but
in no way to be in danger. “Seeing her devotion to Bajiao, next
time he may not know where she will be directed by this little
silver fox. The snow-capped mountain is clothed with numerous
magical battle arrays and the second time around, she may not
be as lucky. Then his eyes fell one more time in Su Su’s bloodied
arm. Mo Yuan regretted it so much. He should have given her
the envelope prior to entering the Mohist territory. She would
not be hurt like this today.
"No way." Su Su immediately uttered in refusal, as if the yellow
paper envelop is hotter than a burning coal. She put the lingcao
immediately back in Mo Yuan’s hand. Anxiously said, “I can’t
take it. You take it back. I cannot take it casually.”
He who has finally had an eased expression after great difficulty
was suddenly destroyed by Su Su’s reaction. Mo Yuan took Su
Su’s hand once again callously and put the lingcao in her hand.
He even clutched her hand with his big hands so she can’t return
the yellow envelope to him.
“ This thing, I gave to you and don’t give it back. I said it is
yours, so it is yours." His sound is rough and his eyes are vicious.
It is not like he is giving someone something but it is more like
forcing people to accept.
"Are you crazy?!" Why would he give away his lingcao so
casually? Is he not afraid that it would backlash? Even though Su
Su wanted to withdraw her hand, Mo Yuan’s very cold hand
grips her hand so tightly, so tight that it felt a little numb.
Moreover, she saw that look of intimidation; exasperation and
also has some… grievance?
Now Su Su having a doubt thinking that Mo Yuan is not the
person that is crazy, she thought she must be the one crazy?! Is
she really out of the magical illusion? Is this the reality or not?
Since she can’t pull back her hand, she can only continue with
her argument, " Are you even aware of what you're doing? This
is the lingcao, this antelope grass is very very important to you
and Mohist!" Su Su is unaware that she is pinching the yellow
envelop while her heart was strangely flustered.
Mo Yuan remained the way he is, uttered not a word, but the
strength of his hand has not diminished but rather increases his
grip even more. Now, her fingers are painfully pinching her own
palm.
Su Su does not understand why Mo Yuan acts this way and what
he intends to accomplish in the end. Previously, she does not
know that there is such thing as fǎn shì zhè huíshì or a backlash
to a host’s body. She thought he was only worried about his
friends, thus his reason for loaning her the antelope grass, but
she knew now that if the lingcao is not close by, he will receive a
backlash! Considering his current gestures, he still insists on
giving her the antelope grass; don’t tell me that he intends to be
always together all the time?
(fǎn shì zhè huíshì – return back to devour its own master or
oppose its own master)
Her father always reminded her they, her parents couldn’t stay
with her all the time. His uncles and aunts, cousins are always
there and can accompany her but nobody can be by her side all
the time, unless… …
Holy shit! Su Su’s eyes suddenly open wide for the sudden
revelation. She turned pale like a ghost then blushes red for a
moment. After some time, she calmed down, turned to Mo Yuan
with a frown and seriously says, “Mo Yuan, can I ask you
something?”
Su Su’s expression was so strange. Her big eyes were staring at
him with a sly look as if trying to dig into his heart. He didn't
know what she was going to ask. Mo Yuan inexplicably felt the
tension, his heart swells and then he heard it. A could chilly
female voice say...
“Do you like me? Do want to be with me all the time?”
The two were standing face to face. Mo Yuan is still holding Su
Su’s hand, as the wind whistles to his ear, the two looked like
sculptures in the middle of snow. Li Yang who caught Bajiao just
walk back also heard the words of Su Su. He was so shocked that
he stopped in his track and unconsciously tightened his hold on
the little silver fox. Because of the pain, the pitiful little fellow is
howling.
This moment, Mo Yuan can’t hear any noises, he only hears the
sound of his own heartbeat. He has not expected that Su Su
would daringly ask those questions. He cannot afford not to
clearly say what is in his heart at this moment, but he was
suddenly hit by something painfully fierce, the blood of his body
suddenly rushes up to his face.
The poison in his body was wrecking havoc, but at this moment,
as his blood was surging and his mind was floating finally …
Su Su looks at his face turning red and then blood starts to flow
out from the corners of his mouth!
"Mo Yuan!" What's going on? Su Su quickly rushes to him and
hurriedly said, "If you don't like, then don't like it, you don't
have to vomit blood!"
Su Su thought he did not say anything, she is only aware that Mo
Yuan is spilling blood from his mouth. After hearing her words,
he spurted more blood. Su Su was now very frightened, “ You...
what’s happening with you?!”
Li Yang also came forward to support his master, his heart
bursting woefully, sister, can you just stop talking? ! Master,
why you like this person?!
