" My dearXiao Sing, are you satisfied staring at me?"
Mo Tien Wang asked He Xiao Sing with a mischievous smile. He was delighted to see her flustered by his question.
"I...I...I wasn't s...staring at ge ge. I...I just finished training and accidentally saw ge ge...!"
He Xiao Sing tried to deny it as best as she could. But her blushing face betrayed her lie. In the end she could only let Mo Tien Wang laugh at her.
"Hahaha, Xiao Sing, you're really sweet when you get caught lying — you make me so squishy."
He Xiao Sing's face burned even more at Mo Tien Wang's praise. Embarrassed, she covered her face with both hands.
Mo Tien Wang's laughter grew louder when he saw her behavior. He hadn't laughed so freely in a long time. Being next to He Xiao Sing truly made him happy.
"D..Don't laugh anymore, Ge Ge! I'll be mad if you keep laughing at me!!"
He Xiao Sing glared at Mo Tien Wang in mock anger and puckered her lips to show her protest.
"Hahaha, alright Xiao Sing, I'll stop laughing — don't be mad, my dear."
He Xiao Sing felt her heart race when Mo Tien Wang called her "my dear." For some reason that nickname made her feel like she was flying.
After teasing her enough, Mo Tien Wang turned his attention back to getting his shackles off. He focused his inner energy again to break the branches that bound his hands.
He Xiao Sing watched him work hard and wanted to help. She tried to channel her inner energy to assist Mo Tien Wang. But before she could, Mo Tien Wang stopped her.
"Stop, Xiao Sing. You've just lost a lot of blood. You must rest to recover your body."
"But Ge Ge, I want to help you..."
He Xiao Sing did not want to rest. She wanted to help Mo Tien Wang as much as she could. She couldn't wait to leave the restricted area.
"Sit down, sweet one. Don't bother me while I work. If I need help I'll call you."
He Xiao Sing could only nod reluctantly. She knew she couldn't argue with him. She decided to be a spectator.
Mo Tien Wang concentrated on breaking the bindings. After trying for nearly half an hour, his efforts finally paid off.
"CRACK...!!!"
The shackles binding Mo Tien Wang's hands slowly began to break. Not long after, they fell off his wrists.
"Hooray...!! You did it, Ge Ge!!!"
He Xiao Sing shouted with joy when she saw him free. Overcome with happiness, she hugged Mo Tien Wang enthusiastically.
Mo Tien Wang smiled when he saw He Xiao Sing's reaction. Once his hands were free he returned the hug passionately, stroking her hair gently. Feeling her body in his embrace made him feel alive again.
"Xiao Sing, now go back to your room and pack your stuff. Don't forget to leave a note for your father. Tomorrow morning, after everyone leaves, come back here. I will take you away from this place."
He Xiao Sing nodded to show she understood. But before leaving she suddenly remembered Yang Wan Tong's situation.
"Tien Wang Ge Ge, what about Brother Yang? I'm afraid he'll report me to She Fu."
Mo Tien Wang thought for a moment. What He Xiao Sing said made sense. If that scoundrel reported her to Ong Hai San, Ong Hai San might suspect He Xiao Sing. If that happened, their plan could be ruined.
"Do this Xiao Sing, If that man dares to report you, say that he tried to rape you. I'm sure your father will beat him to a pulp. Deny everything he says as much as possible. If things get desperate, teleport here immediately. Do you understand, Xiao Sing?"
He Xiao Sing nodded in understanding. Before she left, she gave Mo Tien Wang a bottle of her blood. She feared something could happen to him. To be safe, she entrusted the bottle containing her blood to Mo Tien Wang.
Mo Tien Wang was deeply moved to receive the bottle. He could feel He Xiao Sing's sincerity. He vowed to protect her with his whole life.
After leaving her blood, He Xiao Sing went straight to her room. But when she arrived, Ong Hai San and Li Xu Xian were already waiting there.
"S..SHE FU, FATHER, w...why are you in my room?"
He Xiao Sing stammered when she saw them. She hadn't expected both of them to be inside her room.
"Xiao Sing, where have you been? Your Master and I have been searching for you."
Li Xu Xian grilled He Xiao Sing with questions. He was truly curious where his daughter had gone. He had searched the entire restricted area for over an hour but found no trace of her.
"W...Well, Father, Brother Yang tried to molest me. I couldn't resist, so I teleported away to avoid him. I was so scared I don't even know where I teleported to..."
"WHAT?!! YANG WAN TONG DARED TO MOLEST YOU?!!! WHAT A BASTARD — YOUR FATHER WILL TEACH HIM A LESSON RIGHT NOW!!!"
As Mo Tien Wang predicted, Li Xu Xian flew into a rage when he heard He Xiao Sing had been assaulted by Yang Wan Tong. Burning with anger, Li Xu Xian left He Xiao Sing's room to go beat up Yang Wan Tong.
"Stop, Xu Xian!"
Li Xu Xian halted when he heard Ong Hai San's voice. Even in his fury, he didn't dare defy Ong Hai San.
" Elder Ong, we must punish Yang Wan Tong for his actions. A person like that is unfit to be the future leader of Kun Lun Pai!!"
Li Xu Xian said this with overflowing emotion. He had never been angry at anyone like this before. But because Yang Wan Tong had dared to molest his beloved daughter, Li Xu Xian would not let it go. He would make Yang Wan Tong regret it.
"Control your emotions, Xu Xian. This matter must be investigated carefully. Call Yang Wan Tong here — I want to question him."
