The Prince's Mansion.
This day, Li Qiufeng assisted Ying Tianbao in finishing his official duties. A sense of longing arose in his heart, and as if guided by an unseen force, he found himself walking towards Ji Mo's courtyard.
From a distance, he could hear the conversation between Ji Mo and Black Rose.
"Miss Rose, are you feeling unwell?"
"Mo Mo, I feel chest tightness, dizziness, and fatigue. I'm so uncomfortable."
"Could you be ill? Let me examine you."
Ji Mo reached out and took Black Rose's delicate, boneless hand, placing his fingers on her pulse. "Your pulse shows no abnormalities. When did this condition start?"
"It was... right after that night."
Black Rose lowered her head, a blush creeping onto her cheeks. Recalling her boldness that night, her face grew even hotter.
"Which night?" Ji Mo asked.
"How could you forget so quickly? It was the night we spent together," Black Rose chided.
"Oh, that night!"
Ji Mo finally remembered. It was the night Black Rose had been injured.
Could it be that her injuries had not fully healed?
But her pulse showed no problems!
Ji Mo frowned, beginning to doubt his own medical skills.
"Mo Mo, have I... conceived?"
"Conceived what?"
"A baby."
"Cough, cough..."
Ji Mo coughed violently, quickly withdrawing his hand. He hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense, it's impossible."
"Don't you believe me? Touch it."
Black Rose, no longer concerned with shyness, directly took Ji Mo's hand and placed it on her abdomen.
Although separated by a layer of clothing, Ji Mo could still feel the delicate softness of Black Rose's skin, and his old face couldn't help but redden.
Then, his expression changed drastically. He clearly felt something bump against his palm.
No way, they only kissed a few times that night, and she got pregnant?
This was unscientific!
Even if she were pregnant, how could the baby kick after only a few days?
This was utterly impossible.
Ji Mo calmed his mind and sensed carefully. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It was a false alarm. Black Rose's belly did not contain a baby, but a peculiar energy.
The sensation he had just felt was merely the fluctuation of this energy.
Could it be a side effect from when he used the power of the stars to heal Black Rose that night?
Ji Mo increased the pressure in his palm, slowly massaging, intending to use a special massage technique to dissolve this energy.
"Mmm, ah..."
Black Rose couldn't help but let out a soft moan. She felt Ji Mo's palm was burning hot, as if carrying a magical power, and her body tingled.
"What's wrong?" Ji Mo asked.
"Go slower, I can hardly bear it."
Black Rose's voice was as faint as a mosquito's hum, accompanied by a soft nasal sound.
She felt the energy in her dantian spread out, flowing through her meridians, making her feel incredibly comfortable, and her breathing quickened.
"Shameless couple."
Li Qiufeng covered her ears.
What had she just heard?
That night?
A baby?
Had they already conceived a child?
If they had a baby, why were they still so unrestrained?
She was heartbroken, her face pale, and she finally left with a sense of desolation.
Within Black Rose's dantian, the energy shimmered with a radiant glow, like a boundless starry sky.
Under Ji Mo's massage, this energy transformed into wisps of stellar laws, seeping into Black Rose's bones, muscles, and blood.
A brilliant silver halo appeared on Black Rose's skin, making her appear both alluring and ethereal.
As her eyes opened and closed, starlight blazed, and her aura was astonishing.
In the sky above, a celestial phenomenon appeared.
The sun dimmed, and the stars emerged. Countless starlight descended, bathing the world in a pure white light.
"This is the anomaly that appears when the Star Radiance Sacred Body manifests!"
Viper looked up at the sky, his expression filled with surprise.
He hadn't expected that this Wangjing City would also hide such formidable talents, with a cultivator awakening the Star Radiance Sacred Body.
This physique could control the power of the stars and was incredibly terrifying.
However, this had nothing to do with him.
At this moment, Viper's mind was solely focused on how to deal with Black Rose.
"Mosquito Three, Mosquito Four, Fly Six, I will lure Black Rose away. You three go and kill that fellow named Ji."
Viper sinisterly commanded his three subordinates.
"Fourth Elder, as you command."
The three demon saints responded.
A mere mortal was like an ant they could crush with a flick of their wrist, posing no difficulty at all.
Black Rose, having awakened the Star Radiance Sacred Body, was suffused with starlight.
Within her dantian, a Heavenly Star Chart slowly revolved, actively absorbing the power of the stars and tempering her body.
Black Rose felt her cultivation speed had increased by at least several times compared to before.
"Mo Mo, your massage feels so good. How about you continue?"
Black Rose was reluctant to part. The sensation was truly wonderful.
Ji Mo's body stiffened. He looked up at the sky with a deep, somewhat unnatural expression.
He couldn't continue massaging. Black Rose's moans had made him feel hot all over, and he was about to get a nosebleed.
If he continued, he feared he might lose control and actually cause a life-threatening situation.
"That energy has been completely absorbed by you. There's no need to continue massaging."
He pinched his nose and quickly retreated to his room.
Black Rose covered her mouth and chuckled, surprised that Ji Mo had such a shy side.
Just as she was about to follow him to tease him further, she felt her communication jade pendant vibrate.
"Are the organization members going to meet me?"
Black Rose checked the message, her expression filled with confusion.
Had what was inevitable finally arrived?
They knew she hadn't made a move against Ying Tianbao.
"Mo Mo, I have something to attend to and need to go out for a while!"
Black Rose left these words behind and vanished from the spot.
Shortly after she left,
Three strange creatures appeared in the sky above the Prince's Mansion.
They were two flower mosquitoes and a green-headed fly.
Although their appearance was no different from ordinary mosquitoes and flies, the evil, bloody aura they exuded sent a chill down one's spine.
These three flying insects were the demon saints sent by Viper to kill Ji Mo, transformed.
"Is Fourth Elder making a fuss? To deal with a mere mortal, he's sending all three of us?"
Fly Six, the green-headed fly, looked puzzled.
"Fourth Elder deliberately sent us away so he could make a move on Black Rose."
"That's right. Not just a move, but a 'foot' move too."
Mosquito Three and Mosquito Four chuckled sinisterly.
"Ah, Fourth Elder is so brazenly lustful!" Fly Six exclaimed in shock.
"Fourth Elder is an old pervert. How many young female disciples in our Asura Hall has he secretly defiled? He's always coveted Black Rose's beauty, and now he's found an opportunity."
"I really want to see Fourth Elder ravish Black Rose. Just thinking about it makes me excited."
Mosquito Three and Mosquito Four wore lewd smiles, clearly not good people themselves.
The more Fly Six heard, the more his heart pounded. Viper, who usually appeared upright, was surprisingly hypocritical.
If that was the case, wouldn't Black Rose be in danger!
"This old beast!"
Fly Six cursed inwardly.
"This is the mortal. Let's kill him."
They finally flew to Ji Mo's courtyard and immediately launched their attack.
