"Yes."

The girl raised her hand and brushed the messy broken bangs in front of her forehead with some weakness, staring intently at Shen silently.

"This, then...... Did I tell you why, even if I did what you asked me to do? ”

As if there was still some silence unexpected, he confirmed the inquiry again. But vaguely, he still hesitated for a moment before he spoke.

However, under the girl's cold face, the deep concern for Mo Qingyu that could not be hidden was written in the silent eyes, and it was quietly and unconsciously relieved of his originally indifferent and cold look.

For some reason, the last time he accidentally injured Mo Qingyu, it always made Shen Mo feel guilty. This was not his original intention, and for the former, he also harbored another inexplicable feeling in his heart.

"Hmm. But—"

Liu Qingyi nodded slightly, but just as her silent face changed, she continued to ask as if she remembered something.

"But you have to promise me one more thing. Once you get what you want, you're never allowed to be with my family or friends again! ”

Although there was still a hint of paleness on Xiumei's fairy-skinned cheeks, her bright eyes that were as bright as autumn water seemed extremely resolute, so that Shen Mo had no doubt that if she didn't agree to this, she would never have the slightest room for negotiation in this matter.

The atmosphere in the cave became quietly solemn as Liu Qingyi's resolute words fell.

Silence, pervading the cavern air, was so quiet that it was almost audible to the rhythm of the raindrops falling on the rocks outside the cave.

As the name suggests, in the face of the decisive request of the girl in front of him, Shen Mo did not immediately express his opinion of agreement or opposition. His gaze moved away from Liu Qingyi's cheeks and gradually turned to look out of the cave.

Such a sudden calm atmosphere seemed to make Liu Qingyi a little impatient. After seeing that Shen Mo didn't answer immediately, as smart as she was, she had already vaguely guessed some reasons, so she no longer intended to weigh more with him, and moved her body slightly, and wanted to stand up.

"What do you do?"

Liu Qingyi's delicate body moved suddenly, and finally brought back the silence that seemed to be in a state of thought, and immediately he turned his head suddenly, staring at the girl tightly, and in the depths of his eyes, the bright waves flowed.

"I'm getting out of here, I'm going back."

The gaze took a deep look at the silent face with handsome eyebrows hidden under the black robe and hat, and she originally wanted to blurt out the sharp words "It's none of your business", but she suddenly changed her words in an instant.

Maybe it's because in my heart, I feel a little grateful that he actually saved himself. Even if Liu Qingyi knew that the other party was purely out of his own purpose and interests.

"No, I can't. The storm has not stopped outside, and I have checked it when I rescued you on the island, and there are no ships available near this island, how can you go back? ”

Shen Mojun's eyebrows furrowed slightly, his body leaned lightly against the entrance of the cave, his eyebrows flashed with thought, and then he looked back at the girl who got up, and explained quietly.

"Then I'll swim back to the Santa Fe coast!"

The girl propped up her body lightly, her delicate body was a little weak but she stood upright proudly, and her jade hand held the rock wall in the cave, and she was so bare and white with her paws, and slowly walked towards the entrance of the cave.

"It's better to save effort, the waves are so big outside, and it's about a kilometer away from the mainland coast. In your current state, I'm afraid even getting into the water will be a problem. ”

When Liu Qingyi moved to the mouth of the cave and was silent, the latter suddenly stood up, stretched out one arm in front of her, resolutely stopped her, and laughed in a deep voice.

"You don't have to."

Seeing that the road ahead was blocked, the stubbornness suppressed in her heart exploded from Liu Qingyi's mind, which was originally not emotionally stable, and blurted out almost without any hesitation.

"Now that I saved your life, then I have to take care of it. If you die in the sea, where will I find what I want? ”

Facing the arrogance of the girl in front of him, Shen Mo did not show any emotional changes, and the demonic face hidden under the black rain hat was still so plain and unfazed, but the tone of his mouth was slightly harsher than just now.

"Whoa."

The eyebrows swept casually behind Liu Qingyi, and then before she could respond, Shen Mo had already leaned over, ripped off a long ribbon from the corner of the black silk robe, and handed it to the girl.

"What are you going to do?" Liu Qingyi raised her eyebrows slightly, half stunned and half cautiously asked.

"Comb your hair and tie it up, it's too sloppy."

After Shen Mo said this, he turned his face away almost immediately, did not look at Liu Qingyi again, and did not have any intention of caring about her reaction.

"Are you a Virgo? Obsessive-compulsive disorder? ”

Unexpectedly, what made Shen Mo's original solemn expression stiffen was that after Liu Qingyi was stunned for a moment, he suddenly laughed out loud, and then raised his hand to take the ribbon held by his fingertips, and did not forget to ask like this.

Standing awkwardly in place for a while, Shen Mo was also speechless, so he could only continue to remain silent and turned his back directly.

Seeing this, although Liu Qingyi quickly put away the smile on her pretty face, she was relieved and relaxed a lot in her heart. After a few short contacts, although she was still far from knowing the silence, some of the latter's temperament and temperament brought her a vague sense of familiarity.

Brushing the messy hair behind her shoulders, Liu Qingyi's delicate body moved slightly, and before Shen Mo could react, her figure had moved outside the entrance of the cave in an instant, and the dripping rain poured down and bathed her body.

"What are you doing?!"

"Rinse the mud off my body and hair, of course. What's wrong? ”

When Shen Mo came back to his senses and suddenly turned sideways and glared at Liu Qingyi, the girl seemed to be at a loss by his suddenly changed tone, and after a long time, she gradually stopped cleaning her hands and looked back at him with doubts.

"I saw that you just woke up from drowning, and if you get rainy, you will catch a cold."

Some angrily quickly retracted his solemn gaze, silently pursed the corners of his mouth, and his handsome face returned to light again, and he was a little impatient to remind.

However, in the face of silent worry, Liu Qingyi surprisingly did not return any joking expressions. She raised her head slightly, and the lotus step that moved forward was slightly retracted, and then looked at Shen Mo, and replied in a slightly faint tone.

"Don't worry, I haven't had a cold since I was eight years old. It's just that you're like this, and you will make me mistakenly think that you care about me......"

"Ridiculous."

A simple two-word reply instantly made the atmosphere that wanted to be relaxed completely solidified again.

Faced with Shen Mo's unexpected cold words, Liu Qingyi had just had a trance-like nerve, and finally became tense again. No matter how similar their tempers were, but they were not the same person after all, how could they have any strange illusions about him?

"It's because of 'silk winding', right? It is worthy of the supreme practice that the Murong clan regards as a treasure, which can not only heal all internal injuries, but also resist the invasion of diseases into the body. ”

At the moment when Liu Qingyi withdrew her gaze back, the silence that re-opened her mouth was already full of coveting and admiration in her words, and listening to the girl's ears couldn't help but make her nerves tighten.

Could it be that the other party has already targeted her with the "silk winding energy" she is carrying?

But Liu Qingyi still remembers that when her mother taught her this exercise, she made her make a vow that she would never teach it or anyone else to know or practice in this life.

"Don't worry, although the 'Silk Winding Strength' is indeed very powerful, I don't have much interest in this kind of pure internal strength cultivation that can only be practiced for many years and cannot be achieved quickly."

seemed to know what Liu Qingyi was thinking, and after silently glancing at the girl's reaction, he shook his head lightly and explained lightly. As an obsessive person with extra-occult skills, what he is keen on is real moves and occult techniques that are both offensive and defensive.

When Liu Qingyi heard this, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and began to think about other things.

However, when her gaze moved to her chest and did not find the jasper pendant around her neck, the nerves that had just been relieved tensed up almost instantly like an electric shock, and she turned to stare at Shen Mo and ask urgently-

"By the way, where's my shoulder bag? Where is it? ”

"What a shoulder bag. When I rescued you, I didn't have the time to take care of anything you were carrying. What's wrong? ”

Shen Mo's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he remembered for a moment, and then shook his head and replied no. In addition to being surprised by Liu Qingyi's reaction, he couldn't help but ask a rare question out of curiosity.

"Impossible, won't, won't drop......"

After getting an answer that was not what he expected, Liu Qingyi, who had just tied the ponytail on the back of his head, lost his original coldness almost instantly, his beautiful face was full of worry, and he quickly ran back to the cave with one arrow step. Seeing this, Shen Mo, who was leaning against the entrance of the cave behind him, also immediately stood up, and after a little hesitation, quickly followed in.

Although it is not clear what happened, judging from the change in the demeanor of the girl in front of her, the situation should not be light. If it has something to do with what you want, then you have to take it seriously.

Entering the cave, Liu Qingyi immediately leaned down, and because of the injury, his slender hands wrapped in cloth belts began to rummage through the dirt and weeds and basil piles on the ground, as if looking for something, and his movements seemed so eager and flustered, completely losing the image of a lady who should have been.

"What are you looking for?"

Looking at Liu Qingyi's hand that had just bandaged the wound, there seemed to be a faint sign of bleeding, and his silent and flat expression finally caused a trace of waves. His sword brows furrowed slightly, and he stepped forward, standing in front of the girl, and bowed his head to ask.
