"Xiao Sing, didn't you say that once I'm free, you'll come with me? Why are you still worried about being punished by your father and your master?"
He Xiao Sing fell silent again after hearing Mo Tien Wang's words. What he said made sense. Still, she couldn't help but feel guilty for what she had done. She did long for her freedom, but at the same time, she didn't want to disappoint her father and master.
"Don't worry, Xiao Sing. We'll leave this place without anyone knowing. Before we go, you can leave a letter for them—say that you went out to gain experience. As long as I don't cause any trouble, no one will realize that I've escaped from this place."
"That's a great idea!! Tien Wang gege, You're so smart. I'll follow your instructions!"
He Xiao Sing was delighted by Mo Tien Wang's idea. She didn't realize that Mo Tien Wang was actually the most feared figure in the martial world. If word of his freedom ever got out, the entire realm would be thrown into chaos.
"Oh right, gege, is there another way to free you faster? I'm afraid it'll take too long if we wait until my inner energy level rises. Besides, I'm worried that Senior Brother Yang will cause trouble again."
He Xiao Sing shivered at the memory of what had happened earlier. Just recalling Yang Wan Tong's lecherous face made her never want to return there. She much preferred being here with Mo Tien Wang.
Mo Tien Wang also didn't feel safe letting He Xiao Sing stay alone up there. He couldn't protect her all the time—not while he was still bound here. As long as the seal held him, he couldn't freely use his inner power. The only way was to enhance his strength through He Xiao Sing's blood. Once his power was fully restored, he would be able to break the chains binding him. Then, using her blood, he could destroy all the seals in this place. Only then could the two of them leave safely.
"Xiao Sing, there is another way. But… I can't bring myself to do it. I'm afraid you'll lose too much blood if I try."
"You need my blood, gege? Then take it! If it can help you, I don't mind. I'll just eat more to recover my strength afterward."
He Xiao Sing agreed without a second thought. She had always been healthy and had never fallen ill since childhood. To her, giving a little blood was nothing. She was sure she'd be fine.
Mo Tien Wang couldn't help but laugh at her response. He hadn't expected her to agree so easily. She really didn't seem to value her own blood at all. Yet her blood was extremely precious—a single drop could revive someone on the brink of death. If the secret of He Xiao Sing's blood were ever revealed, the martial world would drown in bloodshed. Cultivators everywhere would fight each other to the death for her.
"Alright, Xiao Sing. Since you don't mind, I'll drink your blood to restore my inner power. Once I've recovered, I'll personally break these bindings. Are you ready, Xiao Sing?"
"Yes! I'm ready, gege!"
He Xiao Sing immediately stretched out her hand toward Mo Tien Wang. She showed no fear of losing blood—in fact, she signaled for him to bite her wrist quickly.
Seeing her readiness, Mo Tien Wang didn't hesitate. He bit her wrist and began sucking her blood. He continued until he felt satisfied. After about fifteen minutes, he finally released her hand.
"Tien Wang gege, was that enough? If not, you can drink some more."
Mo Tien Wang frowned at her words. Her face had already turned pale, yet she was still stubbornly offering more. He didn't know whether to call her foolish or just too kindhearted. Either way, he wouldn't let her do this for anyone else. He Xiao Sing held a special place in his heart, and he wouldn't allow anyone to take advantage of her.
"That's enough, Xiao Sing. If I drink any more, you'll really run out of blood. Now, eat the food you brought and rest here. Don't disturb me for a while—I need to meditate and absorb your blood."
"Alright, gege."
He Xiao Sing obeyed immediately. She was starting to feel dizzy from blood loss. After eating, she sat beside Mo Tien Wang and began cultivating her inner energy. She didn't want to waste her time just sitting idly.
After nearly two hours of meditation, Mo Tien Wang finally opened his eyes. He was surprised to see He Xiao Sing practicing beside him. Deep inside, he admired her diligence. Even though she had lost blood, she was still training earnestly. Mo Tien Wang was certain that one day, He Xiao Sing would become an extraordinary cultivator.
After watching her for a while, he turned his focus back to himself. He could feel his inner power increasing rapidly, his body brimming with energy. Out of curiosity, he decided to test whether he could break the wooden restraints that bound him.
The sound startled He Xiao Sing. When she turned her head, she saw Mo Tien Wang struggling to break free. The sight made her freeze—Mo Tien Wang looked more handsome than ever as he strained against the bindings. The contraction of his muscles was mesmerizing and… undeniably attractive. She almost got a nosebleed just looking at him.
Feeling her gaze, Mo Tien Wang turned toward her. When he saw the dazed look on her face, he smirked proudly. He could clearly see the admiration in her eyes. As a man, he couldn't deny that it felt good to be looked at that way—especially by the woman he liked.
