At the foot of Changqing Mountain, Chen Yuze, who was holding You Rong, was walking side by side with Mo Xi on the mountain path.
At first, Chen Yuze simply wanted to take Rong out for a walk so he could introduce her to the neighbors on Changqing Mountain and let the little girl become familiar with everyone. At the same time, he also wanted Rong to learn the way to her own home so she wouldn't be clueless about where she lived.
However, the girls were really worried that Chen Yuze, a grown man, wouldn't be able to take good care of Yourong, so they had to use a "bull-bull" method to select a "mom" to accompany Chen Yuze.
As for the final result...
Mo happy, who started with five flower cards, really didn't know how she could have lost.
Especially when she saw Bai Hua unwillingly clenching that hand...
After getting a terrible hand, I felt extremely happy.
LOL, so what if Bai Hua's current cultivation level is temporarily higher than mine?
In the end, wasn't it me who accompanied Young Master Chen and Xiao You Rong to visit the neighbors?
"I'm sorry, Meixi. This is clearly a family matter, but I still need you to accompany and take care of Yourong."
On the mountain path, Chen Yuze saw Moxi, who had just fed You Rong water and was now even helping to pick her up. He didn't know how to thank her enough.
Unlike the other girls in the family, although Chen Yuze and Moxi had indeed grown closer over time, they always maintained a comfortable and unawkward distance between them.
For example, when soaking in hot springs, Moxi always waits for Chen Yuze to get out of the hot spring before getting in herself.
At night, unlike other girls, Moxi never liked to cling to Chen Yuze's side when she went to sleep; instead, she had her own bedroom.
Firstly, Moxi was ultimately just a patient temporarily staying at his home. No matter how well Chen Yuze got along with her, she wasn't one of his own. Chen Yuze was clear about this.
Secondly, Chen Yuze isn't the kind of fool who's delusional about love. He wouldn't do anything inappropriate to Moxi just because she lives in his house or because she's a pretty girl.
This is why the relationship between Chen Yuze and Moxi has always been lukewarm.
Even if there are occasional minor ambiguous situations, they are always brushed off with laughter.
If we had to draw an analogy for their current relationship, it would probably be like a young male landlord and a beautiful female tenant living together.
Of course, relationships between people cannot remain unchanged forever.
For example, after spending time together and getting to know each other, Meixi's opinion of Chen Yuze has changed somewhat.
It must be admitted that he is indeed a very outstanding man.
Even Mo happy, the Empress of Tushan, could hardly deny that she was gradually being attracted to him.
Normally, given Moxi's personality, if she liked someone, she would definitely tell them and even take the initiative to win them over.
The problem is, there happens to be a white painting in this house.
You should know that back then, Mo Xi had sworn to Bai Hua that she would never fall in love with Chen Yuze.
It's only been a little over a month, and you're already making Moxi slap herself in front of Bai Hua? Of course, she can't do that!
Frankly speaking, if it were someone else, Moxi might have already gone for Chen Yuze.
But this person happens to be her nemesis, Bai Hua, which makes Mo Xi feel very distressed.
Moxi's original plan was to wait until Bai Hua returned to Qingqiu before slowly developing a relationship with Chen Yuze.
But with Chen Yuze constantly bringing her surprises, she could hardly contain her restless heart.
For the first time since childhood, Moxi realized that patience could be such a frustrating thing.
"Young Master Chen."
Holding You Rong, Mo happy suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"what happened?"
Looking back at Moxi, Chen Yuze asked with amusement, "How about I carry Yourong instead?"
No, that's not the issue.
Biting her lip, Mo happy was momentarily at a loss for how to express her feelings to Chen Yuze.
It would seem rather abrupt to say this now.
But if we go home and talk about it, there's that stinky woman Bai Hua there again.
This really put Moxi in a difficult position.
However, just as Moxi was struggling with this dilemma, she suddenly sensed two extremely familiar auras hiding nearby in her mind.
At the same time, an elderly woman passing by approached Chen Yuze with a look of surprise and delight: "Dr. Chen, are you on your way down the mountain to collect herbs?"
"Hmm." Chen Yuze smiled and patted the bamboo basket behind him. "Long time no see, Grandma Wenxin, how have you been?"
He remembered that the old woman in front of him was based on a rabbit, who had come up the mountain to see him for a diagnosis because of blocked meridians.
"I'm fine, but my husband was pulling radishes in the field yesterday when a wicked centipede bit him. He's still vomiting and having diarrhea nonstop." Grandma Wenxin looked anxious, but also somewhat relieved.
"I was just about to go up the mountain to ask Doctor Chen to come and examine the old man. I wonder if Doctor Chen is available now?"
"Of course I have time. After all, saving lives is my job, and gathering herbs is also a service to saving lives. We can't put the cart before the horse."
Chen Yuze nodded, then turned his gaze to Meixi behind him: "Meixi, I have to go to Grandma Wenxin's house. Could you please take Rong home first?"
"We... will wait for you here."
Moxi shook her head and glanced at You Rong, who had fallen asleep in her arms: "I'm afraid that when this child wakes up later and doesn't see you, she will feel uneasy."
"That works too."
Thinking that it wouldn't take too long to cure the centipede poison from Wenxin's husband, Chen Yuze had a sudden thought, and two 'Void-Splitting Blood-Piercing Thorns' shot out from his eyes, 'splitting' a huge rock by the roadside into the shape of a stone table and chairs.
"I'll be right back. Moxi, why don't you and Yourong sit here for a while?"
"it is good."
……
Soon, Chen Yuze went to Wenxin's house with her mother-in-law.
Meanwhile, Meixi, sitting at the stone table by the roadside, gradually turned cold. Even her aura was completely different from before.
"Aren't you coming out yet? How long are you planning to stay here?"
As a cold voice came from Moxi's mouth, Baihui and Ruiyun, who were hiding in the bushes, quickly revealed their true forms and knelt respectfully in front of Moxi.
"Your Majesty, we have come to report on the major and minor events that have occurred in Tushan over the past month." The one who spoke was Baihui.
"Report?" Mo Xi frowned, glanced in the direction Chen Yuze had left, and said somewhat impatiently, "Then, just give me a brief summary."
"Yes."
Nodding, Baihui watched as Moxi returned to her empress-like demeanor. She dared not slack off in the slightest and quickly reported on the situation in Tushan over the past month.
"..."
After listening, Moxi frowned even more deeply.
"From now on, unless there are any major events, you don't need to come here to report these trivial matters to me. I've raised you all for so long, these little things shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"
"Yes."
Feeling the unprecedented pressure on her body, just uttering this one word had already exhausted Momoe's energy.
However, this also made Momoe even more certain of one thing.
Her Majesty did not want anyone to disturb her and the Empress's secluded life.
"Then, you should go back to Tushan."
Seeing that Baihui and Ruiyun seemed unable to withstand the pressure, at the critical moment, Moxi withdrew the pressure she had released on them.
However, just as Baihui and Ruiyun were about to leave, Moxi called them back again.
"Oh, right, and what you just saw..."
Meixi's original intention was to explain her relationship with Chen Yuze and You Rong to Baihui and Ruiyun so that they wouldn't misunderstand anything.
But before Moxi could finish speaking, Ruiyun had already answered first:
"Rest assured, Your Majesty. We will never mention what we saw today to anyone... No, we didn't see anything at all today!"
Meixi: "???"
149. Signs of Awakening
After Baihui and Ruiyun left, Moxi held Yourong, who was fast asleep, and sat down at the stone table to think about something.
The information they brought was indeed all trivial matters.
But there was one thing that really bothered Meixi.
Those are three second-rate forces belonging to Tushan, and their recent exchanges seem to have been a bit too frequent.
Ever since Mo Xi became the Empress of Tushan, Tushan has been steadily expanding its power.
The three second-rate forces that Baihui mentioned only became subordinate to Tushan in the last hundred years or so.
Moreover, the leaders of these three major forces are not simple characters.
Wang Wei, the Heart-Piercing Black Tiger; Li Chu, the Blood-Drinking Mad Lion; and Chen Kun, the Gale Thunder Leopard—any one of these three alone would be enough to unleash a bloodbath in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Furthermore, the locations of these three major forces, when connected, form an equilateral triangle, leading many factions in the Ten Thousand Mountains to jokingly refer to them as "Triangle Cats."
When the Triangle Cats all announced their allegiance to Tushan, it caused quite a stir in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
After all, if these three forces were to unite, while they wouldn't be considered impregnable, they would certainly be a brand-new first-class power.
Even though its foundation remains
It still cannot compare to a behemoth like Tushan, but it is by no means something that Tushan can easily defeat.
Before taking action against them, Tushan must first consider whether it can accept the price it would have to pay to wipe them out.
It is no exaggeration to say that if these three forces were to fight to the death, Tushan would definitely face a situation where it would suffer a great loss of strength.
Although it's not quite the end, Moxi's efforts over the past five hundred years have definitely been in vain.
Moxi had taken this into consideration, which is why she accepted their proposal to submit to Tushan.
What Mo Xi didn't expect was that these guys would come up with crooked ideas so quickly.
"It seems that after I eradicate my hidden injuries and inner demons, I must first kill a chicken to show these stupid cats what I'm made of."
