However, things didn't go as planned. Just as their lips were about to touch, a huge mechanical white tiger crashed into Mo Mo's room with a loud bang.
Shi Lan was startled. She opened her eyes and dodged Mo Mo's kiss, then quickly hid behind him.
Looking at the huge tiger head in front of him, Mo Mo was speechless. Needless to say, it must be the work of Chicken Leg Ming and Shao Yu. However, Gao Yue had already been taken away by Mo Mo and was not on the Mirage. Moreover, Shi Lan did not recognize them. How did they end up on the Mirage?
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "Wow! What a huge roasted chicken leg! It's as big as a beef leg!"
As soon as Mo Mo finished speaking, a boy of about twelve or thirteen years old appeared in front of Mo Mo in a flash, his speed was so fast that it could be described as teleportation.
"Where? Where? Where's the chicken leg?" Tianming searched everywhere in the room.
Mo Mo "..."
Shi Lan "..."
"Little brother Tianming, you don't believe me when I say you're stupid. Where can you find a chicken leg as big as a cow's leg?"
At the same time, a boy of about fourteen or fifteen years old walked in through the hole he had broken open.
At this moment, Tianming noticed Mo Mo and Shi Lan in the room.
"Uncle! What are you doing here? Did that wicked woman kidnap you too?"
"Who is the bad woman? And who got arrested?" Mo Mo asked, somewhat puzzled.
"It's that wicked woman with the veil! She captured Dao Zhi, and the leader of the Giants went after her. Then another wicked woman with a veil came, so Shao Yu and I escaped on the mechanical white tiger, and then we were chased here by a giant snake." Tianming had a look of surprise on his face, as if to say, "You didn't know that?"
"You idiot, those are the Grand Master of Fate and the Junior Master of Fate from the Yin-Yang School. Brother, how can we get out?" Xiang Shaoyu cursed Tianming, then earnestly asked Mo Mo for advice.
When Shao Yu walked in and saw Shi Lan behind Mo Mo, his eyes almost popped out. He stared at Shi Lan without blinking.
It wasn't until Tianming nudged him from the side that he snapped out of his daze and hurriedly introduced himself to Shilan: "My name is Shaoyu, the young master of the Xiang clan. May I ask your name, miss?"
"Is this love at first sight? How can you two still be in love when I'm like this?" But when Mo Mo saw Shi Lan, he immediately felt relieved.
Mo Mo noticed the look of disgust in Shi Lan's eyes, and Shi Lan didn't answer Shao Yu's question directly. Instead, she looked at Mo Mo and waited until he nodded in agreement before answering, "My name is Shi Lan, and I am your maid."
Upon hearing Shi Lan's reply, a hint of disappointment flashed in Shao Yu's eyes. Then, he suddenly remembered something and was about to speak when Mo Mo said, "You are not my maid, you are my wife."
Upon hearing Mo Mo's words, a unique light flashed in Shi Lan's eyes, and the corners of her lips unconsciously curled up slightly.
"You want to leave the Mirage, right? It's very simple. I'll take you out." Mo Mo revealed a kind smile.
Tianming froze when he saw Mo Mo's smile. He would never forget that smile for the rest of his life, because after seeing that smile last time, he felt like vomiting whenever he saw a chicken leg for three whole days.
I remember that day was like this: Tianming threw a stone into the river, which scared Momo's fish away. Then Momo took him to eat roast chicken with that smile.
Then he ate a total of twenty roast chickens. Although it didn't kill him, for three whole days after that day, he felt nauseous just from the sight of roast chicken or even the word "roast chicken."
Upon seeing that smile again, Tianming immediately sensed something was wrong. Just as he was about to refuse, he realized that he and Shaoyu had already appeared in mid-air outside the mirage.
However, they didn't fall; instead, they stood quietly in the air. Realizing they were alright, Tianming's restless nature kicked in again, and he cautiously moved his feet around.
Just then, Tianming, who had stepped forward, realized something was wrong, because he had missed a step, and he also discovered that his other foot had missed a step as well.
Hearing Tianming and Shaoyu's screams, Mo Mo immediately felt much better.
At that moment, Tianming and Shaoyu discovered something that terrified them: they were only a dozen meters away from the sea surface, so they closed their eyes.
However, several seconds passed and the expected impact did not occur. When they opened their eyes, they found that they were safely standing on the shore.
Immediately, the two collapsed to the ground.
"I knew running into that nasty old man would lead to trouble. Let's hurry up and leave!" With that, Tianming struggled to his feet and prepared to leave.
However, the next moment a voice that sent chills down their spines rang in their ears, “Looks like you haven’t had enough fun yet! Let’s do it again, the last time was a bit too low.”
Then Tianming and Shaoyu realized that the earth was getting farther and farther away from them, and the huge mirage was getting smaller and smaller, until it was only the size of a palm.
The next second, screams rang out again.
A dozen minutes later, Tianming and Shaoyu lay limply on the ground, motionless for a long time. If it weren't for their chests still rising and falling, people would have thought they were two corpses.
Half an hour later, the two finally caught their breath. Tianming was about to speak when Shaoyu, who was standing nearby, quickly rolled over and covered his mouth tightly. He didn't want to experience freefall from a high altitude again.
Shi Lan looked at Mo Mo, who was all smiles, and then at the room that had been restored to its original state, where she could clearly see the magical phantoms of Tianming and Shaoyu. She was both surprised and amused.
Just then, there was a rhythmic knocking at the door.
After receiving Mo Mo's permission, the door was opened, and Xinghun led a group of people to guard the entrance.
After having the others guard the door, Xinghun entered Mo Mo's room alone. He looked around before speaking, "Someone just invaded the Mirage Tower. I was worried about your safety, Immortal Master, so I came to check on you. I'm glad you're alright. I apologize for disturbing you. Farewell." With that, he left without lingering.
"This Star Soul is really strange." Shi Lan couldn't help but mutter after closing the door.
Mo Mo almost forgot about his business because of Tianming and Shaoyu's commotion. After giving Shi Lan some instructions, Mo Mo headed towards the alchemy room.
Along the way, all the Yin-Yang School disciples who encountered Mo Mo bowed to him in respect. However, a group of people, dressed identically and wearing identical masks, floated in the air...
Mo Mo felt strange that people were bowing to him.
A few minutes later, Mo Mo arrived at the alchemy room, glanced around casually, and then walked to the door of the room where Yun Zhongjun was refining medicine effigies. Just then, Da Siming suddenly came out from inside. Upon seeing Mo Mo, she was startled, then discreetly put away the small porcelain bottle in her hand, lowered her head, and quickly left.
At this moment, Yun Zhongjun also saw Mo Mo. Although he didn't know what Mo Mo was doing here, he still invited Mo Mo in.
Seeing the room full of medicine figures made by Yun Zhongjun, Mo Mo's eyes flashed with cold light, and he added Yun Zhongjun to his death list. Seeing that Mo Mo seemed very interested in his medicine figures, Yun Zhongjun enthusiastically began to introduce them.
Soon, the two arrived at the very center of the room, where a stone platform stood before them. On the platform was something covered with a white cloth. Mo Mo knew that this was Shi Lan's brother, Yu Ziqi.
Just then, Yun Zhongjun suddenly lifted the white cloth and introduced it to Mo Mo: "This is my most satisfying work. I just made it using a Yu Yuan Guardian from Shu Mountain. One of them is worth ten or a hundred other medicine men."
"Oh? So powerful? I'm quite tempted. I wonder if Lord Yunzhong would be willing to part with him and give him to me?" Mo Mo pretended to be very interested in the medicine man.
"This..." Yun Zhongjun hesitated, after all, he had only obtained one such masterpiece.
Seeing Yun Zhongjun's hesitation, Mo Mo took out a small porcelain bottle and said, "This is the Divine Pill I refined. One pill can increase a person's power by sixty years. There are three more here. I wonder if Yun Zhongjun would be willing to part with them?"
Upon hearing Mo Mo's words, Yun Zhongjun was immediately startled. He took the porcelain bottle from Mo Mo's hand, opened it, smelled it, then put the lid back on and carefully put it away. He then told Mo Mo the method of controlling the medicine man.
After leaving Yun Zhongjun's place, Mo Mo led Yu Ziqi, who had become a medicine man, towards their residence. Just then, a strange bird with gold and black stripes, a golden sun pattern on its chest, a golden feather crest on its head, and a three-legged long tail landed on Mo Mo's shoulder.
"A three-legged golden crow, possessing the aura of a dragon, Yan Fei."
Just then, the three-legged golden crow on Mo Mo's shoulder suddenly spread its wings and flew quickly forward. Mo Mo smiled slightly, casually put Yu Ziqi away, and then chased after the three-legged golden crow with each step a fleeting illusion.
A dozen seconds later, the three-legged golden crow crashed into a room and disappeared. Mo Mo smiled slightly, knowing that the person who had lured him here was right in front of him. So he opened the door and went in.
Once inside, it wasn't a single room, but a very spacious area, several hundred square meters in size.
Mo Mo followed a stone path until he arrived at a platform covered in frost, where he finally saw the renowned Dongjun Yanfei. She was a mature and alluring woman, yet somewhat lonely, bearing some resemblance to Gao Yue, but even more captivating and alluring than Gao Yue.
Looking at the beautiful woman standing forlornly before him, Mo Mo smiled and said, "May I ask what business Lord Dongjun has summoned me here for?"
The instant Mo Mo finished speaking, Dong Jun's slender hand was already on Mo Mo's neck, and she said in a stern voice, "Why do you have Yue'er's scent on you?"
"Do you really want to know?" Mo Mo asked with a meaningful smile.

Chapter 134 Tragic Beauty
Seeing the meaningful smile on Mo Mo's face, Yan Fei's heart skipped a beat. She reached into Mo Mo's pocket and took out a jade pendant, which was the only thing Yan Fei had left for Gao Yue. When Mo Mo saw the jade pendant, he finally understood how Yan Fei had come to him.
This jade pendant was given to Mo Mo by Gao Yue when she entered the small world. She said it was the only thing her mother left her, but since she was about to enter the small world and couldn't stay outside often, she left the jade pendant to Mo Mo so that Mo Mo could wear it and hopefully find her mother.
Mo Mo knew that Gao Yue's mother, Yan Fei, was there, and since he didn't have the habit of wearing jewelry, he didn't wear it on his person but instead kept it in his pocket. It has to be said that fate is cruel; this one action led to today's scene.
Dongjun Yanfei gripped the jade pendant tightly in her hand and shouted sharply, "Where is Yue'er? What happened to her? How did her jade pendant end up in your hands?"
Mo Mo looked down at the jade-like hand that was loosely holding his neck and smiled, "Your hand is beautiful and cool. It feels quite comfortable to touch my neck, but I don't really like this position. You can change the position, like hugging me or leaning against me. I wouldn't be able to refuse."
Faced with Mo Mo's somewhat provocative words, Dong Jun maintained his cold expression, but withdrew his hand. However, his hand was filled with flowing true energy, and his threat was undisguised. Mo Mo had no doubt that if he made the slightest move, Dong Jun would definitely deliver a thunderous blow.
Looking at Dongjun, who was filled with a sense of vigilance and threat, Mo Mo smiled slightly and said, "Actually, this jade pendant was given to me by Yue'er. She and her sisters are currently in a secluded paradise. She was afraid that if she took the jade pendant in and didn't come out often, she would not be able to find her mother. So she gave the jade pendant to me and asked me to look for her. I didn't expect that I would actually find her, and it was the famous Lord Dongjun."
Dongjun didn't say anything after hearing Mo Mo's words, but the expression on her face clearly said, "Do you think I'm stupid? You're just making things up. Why should I believe you?"
Mo Mo had long anticipated that Dong Jun wouldn't believe him, so he had Gao Yue record a video a long time ago. As for taking Dong Jun into the small world, that wasn't impossible, but Mo Mo didn't want to just take someone in without their consent, because he didn't want anyone causing trouble inside.
After teaching Dongjun how to use the image crystal, Dongjun Yanfei took the crystal ball and went to look at it from the side. Seeing this, Mo Mo also took a few steps back, widening the distance between them. Less than half a minute later, Mo Mo heard Dongjun Yanfei's suppressed sobs. Clearly, seeing Gao Yue's image had finally caused the long-suppressed feelings of longing in her heart to burst forth.
Half an hour later, Yan Fei put away the image crystal and walked to Mo Mo's side. At this time, Dong Jun's eyes were slightly red, and there were still crystal tears on his eyelashes. He had lost his cold and noble temperament from before, and instead looked pitiful and particularly endearing.
After calming herself down, Dongjun spoke to Momo, "I apologize for my rashness just now. I hope you won't take offense. Also, could you help me give this video to Yue'er? I'm sorry Yue'er, I can't go to see her." Then she stretched out her slender hand and handed the video crystal to Momo.
Looking at the expectant look on Yan Fei's beautiful face, Mo Mo shook his head and said, "I won't help you. If you're going to hand it over, you should ask me to. Besides, I have something else to show you."
Although somewhat reluctant, Mo Mo still took out the image crystal, because only by doing so would Dong Jun completely give up and willingly leave with Mo Mo, truly severing all ties with Yan Dan.
Watching the scenes unfold in the crystal image in Mo Mo's hand, Yan Fei repeatedly hoped for something when Yan Dan hesitated, only to despair again and again at his words. Until the images ended, Yan Dan didn't say a word for her. His indifferent expression shattered Yan Fei's heart completely.
As Mo Mo put away the image crystal, Yan Fei coughed up a mouthful of blood, then smiled sweetly at Mo Mo and said, "Am I beautiful? Do you want to ravage me? I can serve you with Yue'er, but I'll serve you until she grows up!"
As she finished speaking, Yan Fei leaned closer to Mo Mo, her clothes slowly slipping down, revealing her devilishly hot and alluring white body to Mo Mo. The crimson at the corner of her mouth added an eerie charm to her.
However, facing Yan Fei's radiant smile, Mo Mo felt no joy. Instead, a pang of pain flashed through his heart. Finally, he sighed and said, "The word 'love' truly has a lot of harm to people!" Then he embraced Yan Fei, who had leaned closer, picked up her clothes from the ground, and draped them over her again. Just then, Yan Fei collapsed limply into Mo Mo's arms and fell into a coma.
Mo Mo held Yan Fei's soft, delicate body, sighed softly, wiped away the bright red blood from the corner of her lips, and then took her to a room in the small world so that she could rest well. Afterwards, Mo Mo returned to his own room.
Shi Lan's eyes flashed with joy when she saw Mo Mo return, but out of a girl's modesty, she did not show it. She simply poured Mo Mo a cup of tea and handed it to him naturally.
It has to be said that every word used by the ancients was very accurate. In ancient times, people didn't say "steep tea," but rather "boil tea." In fact, they weren't wrong, because they really did boil the tea instead of simply steeping it in boiling water. After drinking it once, Mo Mo never wanted to drink it again because the flavor was too strong.
Brewing tea is very particular about time, water temperature, and water quality. If you brew it for too short a time, it will have no flavor; if you brew it for too long, the flavor will be too strong. If you brew it for too long, it will become very bitter. Some people, however, simply boil it. They put the tea leaves into a pot and boil them to extract all the flavor of the tea. Some people even add other things to it. If you want to try it, you can try using the tea broth to boil tea eggs.
Influenced by Mo Mo, the empire's high-ranking officials began to favor steeping tea instead of boiling it, and Shi Lan was no exception.
Taking the still steaming teacup, Mo Mo took a small sip and found it surprisingly good, already showing seven or eight tenths of her skill. She gave Shi Lan a thumbs up and then slowly finished the tea. Shi Lan, pleased with Mo Mo's praise, seemed quite pleased.
After setting down his teacup, Mo Mo looked at Shi Lan's smiling face and said with a smile, "So happy? Then let me tell you some news that will make you even happier, okay?"
Hearing Mo Mo's words, Shi Lan was a little confused, so she tilted her head and looked at him.
Seeing that Shi Lan was noticeably more cheerful and playful than before, Mo Mo smiled slightly and waved his hand to release Yu Ziqi. Shi Lan was extremely surprised to see Mo Mo suddenly conjure someone out of thin air. She went over and touched and patted Mo Mo's body, searching him carefully before asking in confusion, "There were no hidden mechanisms, and there are no mechanisms in the room either. How did you conjure this person?"
Mo Mo: "..." So that's what you were looking for.
Pulling back Shi Lan, who was trying to strip him of his clothes to continue searching, Mo Mo said, "This isn't some kind of mechanism; it's a kind of magical ability similar to 'hidden universe in a sleeve.' You'll understand later. Right now, the most important thing is him." Mo Mo pointed to Yu Ziqi, who had been released behind him.
"Him? What's so great about him? He's not as good-looking as you." Shi Lan pouted.
Mo Mo: "..." Girl, I'm embarrassed by your blunt honesty.
"Really? How about this?" With that, Mo Mo removed the wooden board covering Yu Ziqi's head.
