As the saying goes, skill breeds daring. With Mo Mo's current strength, he was fearless no matter what schemes or traps the other party might have. The long night had only just begun, and since someone had brought him fun, how could he refuse? So Mo Mo opened the door without hesitation.
Upon opening the door, Mo Mo discovered a stunningly beautiful little fox demon standing outside. This fox demon had already fully transformed, but at this moment, she deliberately retained her pointed fox ears and snow-white fox tail, making her exude a strange allure.
Unexpectedly, just as Mo Mo was sizing her up, the little fox demon suddenly grabbed Mo Mo, pushed him into the room, and quickly closed the door with magic. Then, Mo Mo's lips were sealed by her luscious red lips, completely catching Mo Mo off guard.
"Could I have guessed wrong? Is it not a demon trying to harm me?" His mind was filled with questions the moment the little fox demon kissed him.
Mo Mo wasn't wrong; a demon was indeed watching him, intending to harm him, but its method was somewhat unexpected. Sensing the clumsy movements of the little fox demon in his arms, Mo Mo knew this was her first time doing something like this. So, he gently began to guide the awkward little fox, slowly moving her towards the bed. Along the way, their clothes had all slipped to the floor.
Although it was the little fox spirit's first time, she was quite clever and understood almost immediately. She used all her skills to cooperate with Mo Mo and give him the ultimate pleasure. However, as time went on, the suction force from her body became stronger and stronger. Mo Mo knew that she was starting to use the art of absorbing and replenishing his vital energy and cultivation. Once she finished, the monsters in the next room would rush over and divide up everything Mo Mo had, including the cultivation and vital energy that the little fox spirit had absorbed.
Unfortunately, they chose the wrong target. How could this little fox possibly absorb Mo Mo's vital essence? So they were destined to apologize to the little fox and suffer another loss.
Although the little fox's physique far surpassed that of ordinary people, how could it possibly be a match for Mo Mo? In the end, it was defeated. After covering the little fox with a blanket, Mo Mo dressed itself again and left the room. Two or three minutes later, Mo Mo returned to his room, while the monsters in the next room had completely evaporated.
Mo Mo learned from them that the little fox had been captured by them. After capturing the little fox, they forced it to lure their chosen target and then kill it. If they succeeded, they could eliminate the target without lifting a finger. If they failed, the poison and daggers they had prepared for the little fox would come in handy. Moreover, this was not the first time they had done this. They had succeeded several times and reaped considerable rewards, all of which had significantly improved their cultivation levels.
After dealing with these monsters, Mo Mo lay back down on the bed. Although the little fox wanted to absorb Mo Mo's vital energy and cultivation through the art of sexual cultivation, this was not her own intention. She was also a victim, so Mo Mo did not intend to punish her further. Moreover, she did not have any aura of resentment, which meant that she had not done anything bad before.
The next morning, when Mo Mo woke up, she found herself tightly embraced by a soft, delicate body. Without even thinking, Mo Mo knew who it was. Sure enough, upon opening her eyes, she saw a pretty little face with a sweet smile. Mo Mo's face quickly flushed slightly at Mo Mo's gaze. Seeing this, Mo Mo smiled slightly, gently removed the little fox's arms from her embrace, quickly got up, dressed, and left the room.

Chapter 345 Little Fox
When Mo Mo returned to the room with some food, the little fox had already gotten up and tidied up the room. When Mo Mo pushed the door open, she was sitting by the window in a daze. When she saw Mo Mo come in, she immediately stood up and nervously twisted the hem of her clothes.
Seeing the somewhat flustered little fox, Mo Mo smiled and said, "Come and eat. I just went downstairs and bought some food. You should like it." Without waiting for the little fox to reply, he took out the food items one by one from the basket on the table.
As dish after dish was placed on the table, the enticing aroma slowly filled the entire room. Tempted by the food, the little fox eventually moved step by step to the table. Seeing that Mo Mo did not make any other moves, it cautiously sat down on the chair, only getting a small portion of its bottom wet.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. I've also taken care of those monsters who were forcing you. You must be hungry now, so hurry up and eat." Mo Mo reached out and patted the little fox's head affectionately.
The little fox stiffened instantly when Mo Mo touched it, then its eyes reddened and tears welled up. It sobbed and threw itself into Mo Mo's arms, its tears instantly soaking Mo Mo's clothes. Mo Mo sighed softly and gently patted the little fox's back. After a long while, the little fox finally stopped crying and lifted its head from Mo Mo's arms.
Looking at the little fox with tears streaming down her face, Mo Mo's covetousness grew even stronger. If he hadn't been so arrogant last night and had used his divine sense to observe the situation beforehand, the little fox wouldn't have lost her virginity. But now that it had happened, he could only think of another way to make it up to her.
To make amends, one needs to know what the other person needs. So, while the little fox was eating, Mo Mo inquired about her situation. But this inquiry immediately caused Mo Mo trouble, because the little fox's parents had been killed by those monsters. What troubled Mo Mo even more was that the little fox had no siblings and was now an orphan. What troubled Mo Mo the most was that while she answered all his questions about other things, she would pretend to be clueless when asked what he wished for. After a couple of times, Mo Mo realized that the little fox probably didn't want to leave him.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. She's now an orphan with no other relatives in the world. And now Mo Mo has taken over her body. Plus, Mo Mo is powerful (capable of killing those monsters) and has a good temper, making him arguably the best choice for her. Moreover, the little fox has a vague premonition that Mo Mo will leave her after fulfilling her wish. That's why she always evades the question or pretends to be clueless whenever Mo Mo asks her what her wish is. In her heart, Mo Mo is her only support.
After understanding the little fox's feelings, Mo Mo stopped asking about her wishes. The little fox seemed to understand that Mo Mo was willing to let her stay, and immediately relaxed a lot. At least she was no longer timid as before. After tidying up the table, she took the initiative to approach Mo Mo.
She first carefully moved a chair and sat down next to Mo Mo. Seeing that Mo Mo didn't make any other moves, she quietly moved the chair closer, then slowly moved it next to Mo Mo so that she could lean against him. Finally, when she found that Mo Mo still didn't object, she leaned directly against him. Seeing this, Mo Mo changed his position to make her more comfortable, so the little fox simply moved her chair away and sat directly on Mo Mo's lap. After finding a comfortable position, she happily leaned against Mo Mo's chest and fell asleep.
Looking at the little fox's satisfied face, Mo Mo kissed her forehead with affection, then held her and quietly started reading. Slowly, the sun began to set, and the dim sunlight cast long shadows on the two people in the room, which leaned closely together, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.
Weary birds returned to their nests, and the sky was ablaze with rosy clouds. Smoke rose from the chimneys of Wan Yao City, and the aroma of food wafted in through the windows on the gentle evening breeze. The little fox sniffed her cute little nose, slowly opened her eyes, and found Mo Mo watching her. She then shyly buried her head in Mo Mo's chest.
Seeing this, Mo Mo smiled gently and said softly, "Little lazybones, you've been sleeping all day. If you don't get up soon, there won't be any dinner."
Upon hearing that there would be no dinner, the little fox quickly raised her head and looked at Mo Mo pitifully. Mo Mo couldn't help but affectionately pinch her pretty nose and said, "Little foodie, you'll get your share, but if you don't get up now, there really won't be any dinner."
Hearing Mo Mo's words, the little fox finally reluctantly let go of Mo Mo and got down from his arms, saying pitifully, "I want to eat roast chicken, braised chicken, and poached chicken. And you have to come back quickly, or I'll be scared."
The little fox was still young, probably only fifteen or sixteen years old in human terms. Of course, she had lived for much longer than that, and it would have taken her at least two or three hundred years of cultivation to be able to take human form. However, her mind was indeed similar to that of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. Coupled with the recent upheaval, she was indeed at her most vulnerable. So Mo Mo nodded solemnly.
Mo Mo was indeed very fast. After going downstairs, he went straight to the kitchen and took several freshly prepared dishes. As the innkeeper, he knew a little about what happened last night, and some of the information was even provided by him. Now, Mo Mo was safe and sound, while the other group of monsters had disappeared without a trace. As a seasoned innkeeper who had been running the inn for so long, he knew what had happened without even thinking. So, instead of stopping Mo Mo, the innkeeper reassured his staff and told them not to take it to heart. The staff understood the situation without the innkeeper needing to explain further.
After packing his things, Mo Mo hurried to his room. Just as he reached the top of the stairs, he heard several very pleasant female laughs coming from inside, along with the little fox's voice. Hearing this, Mo Mo knew what was going on. Sure enough, upon entering, he saw five stunningly beautiful women, each with a unique charm. They were all exquisitely beautiful, tall and elegant, some alluring, some innocent—the five women of Kaguya.
Upon entering, Mo Mo discovered that the five girls, including Kaguya, got along very well with the little fox. The little fox had a sweet tongue and called everyone "sister," while the five girls treated her like a younger sister. When Mo Mo told them about the little fox's background during dinner, the five girls loved the little fox even more. After dinner, Mo Mo saw that the five girls had returned and decided to leave Li Shu Mountain the next day and return to Shu Mountain.
The night passed uneventfully, yet spring was in full bloom. Early the next morning, Mo Mo took the little fox to the place where her parents had been murdered to pay her respects before leaving. Unfortunately, Mo Mo did not find her parents' remains or spirits, meaning that her parents had completely vanished. This caused the little fox to faint on the spot, and she urged Mo Mo to leave this place filled with her sorrow.

Chapter 346 Night in the Wilderness
After leaving Mount Shu, Mo Mo sent the little fox and Kaguya back to his personal little world. After all, the little fox was a fox demon, and Mount Shu was dedicated to exorcising demons. It would be a slap in the face for Mo Mo to openly bring a little fox by his side.
After exiting the spatial portal, Mo Mo quickly flew back to Mount Shu on his sword. Although Mo Mo did not return for two days, he was not a disciple of Mount Shu, so no one suspected anything.
To Mo Mo's surprise, Jing Tian and Qing Wei were not in the front hall. After asking around, Mo Mo learned that they had all gone to the back mountain.
After a moment's thought, Mo Mo realized what was going on. If Mo Mo wasn't mistaken, they were probably going to the Tongtian Stone in the back mountain to verify who was qualified to go to the God Realm with Jing Tian. Just then, a pillar of light shot into the sky. Mo Mo knew that it was the blood of Jing Tian and Xu Changqing that had opened the gate to the Heavenly Realm.
Sure enough, half an hour later, Qingwei and the other four brought Xu Changqing back to Wuji Pavilion and transferred some of their power to Xu Changqing.
Because the matter was of great importance, they went down the mountain the next morning. However, since the Demon Locking Tower had been broken, a large number of demons and monsters escaped. So the three of them rushed back to Yuzhou City while eliminating the demons. However, due to Jing Tian's slowing down, their speed was greatly reduced. In the end, the three of them decided that Mo Mo would escort Jing Tian back to Yuzhou City as quickly as possible, while Xu Changqing would continue to search for the demons that had escaped from the Demon Locking Tower.
After parting ways with Xu Changqing, the two could only walk, which slowed them down considerably. After traveling for half a day, they finally found a sheltered spot by the water before dusk. Since there was no one around, they had no choice but to spend the night there.
If it were just Mo Mo, he could easily build a beautiful little house in half an hour, but since he's with Jing Tian now, he'll have to make do.
Fortunately, he had developed a liking for wilderness survival videos after being introduced to them by his college roommate, and now that interest comes in handy.
According to Bear Grylls, when sleeping in the wild, it's best to keep yourself off the ground to avoid wolves or other wild animals coming to sleep with you.
The place Mo Mo and the others chose was a sheltered spot by the river, not too close to the river, making it easy to get water. Moreover, there was enough water in the river for their dinner. So Mo Mo whittled two or three sharp pieces of wood for Jing Tian to use as bait for the fish, while he took the Dragon Hidden Sword and cut a lot of vines nearby.
When Jing Tian returned with three or four palm-sized fish, Mo Mo had already numbered two hammocks with vines and laid a layer of soft leaves on them. To prevent rain from falling at night, Mo Mo also put a small canopy over the hammocks.
Jing Tian hummed a little tune and swayed back to the place where he planned to spend the night. When he returned to the camp, he was a little stunned. He thought that Mo Mo meant to find a flat place to sleep at night, clean it up, and lay some dry grass. He did not expect that Mo Mo would actually set up a hammock and even set up two fires next to the hammock.
After handing the prepared fish to Mo Mo by the fire, Jing Tian exclaimed in amazement, "Brother Mo, amazing! Tonight we won't have to sleep on the cold, damp ground, and judging by the height of this hammock, it's more than a person's height. We won't even have to keep watch."
Mo Mo nodded noncommittally and said, "Hurry up and grill the fish, otherwise the wild animals in the forest will come out when it gets dark and we'll only be able to eat dry rations tonight." As he spoke, Mo Mo took out two egg-sized bottles and sprinkled salt and spices on several fish.
Half an hour later, Mo Mo had grilled two fragrant fish. After glancing at Jing Tian, Mo Mo silently handed him a fish. Jing Tian looked at his two blackened grilled fish, then decisively threw them aside and took the fish Mo Mo handed him and started eating.
The aroma of grilled fish wafted slowly, carried away by the wind, as night quietly enveloped the earth. In the darkness, a pair of blood-red eyes suddenly opened. It raised its massive head, took a deep sniff, and then silently moved upwind, having caught an enticing scent in the wind.
Meanwhile, the other half of the group had already settled into their hammocks and covered themselves with warm blankets. Mo Mo had taken these blankets from his storage space; he had prepared more than a dozen, and now they came in handy.
Perhaps because he was really tired from walking all day, Jing Tian's breathing became calm and long in less than three minutes, indicating that he had fallen asleep. At this moment, Mo Mo's expression changed. He noticed that a huge creature was quietly approaching. However, Mo Mo did not warn Jing Tian. Instead, he concealed his presence, so in the creature's eyes, only Jing Tian was left.
As the enormous object drew closer, Mo Mo silently counted to three. When Mo Mo counted to one, a deafening roar suddenly exploded beside Jing Tian. The gust of wind generated by the roar threw Jing Tian off the hammock and sent him rolling several meters away on the ground.
Mo Mo also moved when the roar rang out. He first gathered the blankets off himself, then quickly jumped off the hammock and ran towards Jing Tian.
Although Jing Tian was stunned by the sudden attack, he reacted very quickly. After rolling and stopping, he did not rush to check what was going on. Instead, he nimbly flipped over to hide under a big tree and then took cover of his surroundings.
It must be said that Jing Tian's reaction was very correct. Just after he left his original spot and hid under a big tree, a huge hoof stomped heavily on the spot where he had just been, leaving a huge footprint. At this moment, Mo Mo finally arrived and pulled Jing Tian away from his original spot before the huge figure attacked again.
Only then did Jingtian see what this enormous figure was: a giant bear that stood upright, reaching the height of a two-story building.
This giant bear was entirely black with blood-red eyes. The only feature was a crescent-shaped patch of white fur on its chest, which was why it could not be seen in the dark. When it walked on all fours, its camouflage allowed it to blend perfectly into the night.
"What, what is this thing?" Jing Tian hid behind Mo Mo, his voice trembling, and Mo Mo could clearly feel him trembling.
"Monster." Mo Mo's voice remained as calm as ever, showing no sign of panic. Perhaps it was Mo Mo's composed tone that calmed Jing Tian down as well, at least he stopped trembling.
"I know it's a monster, but... but it's way too big!" Jing Tian shouted.
"Monsters are bound to be a bit big, that's normal. There are even bigger ones you haven't seen yet, but I believe you'll have the chance to see them in the future," Mo Mo replied nonchalantly.
"I'd rather not have this opportunity." Jing Tian wanted to say something more, but the black bear demon opposite him didn't give him the chance. He roared and charged towards Mo Mo and the others.
"Hide well, lest you get caught in the crossfire." With those words in mind, Mo Mo drew his sword and faced the charging black bear spirit.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 347 As expected of someone with the protagonist's halo.
The yellow flames leaped incessantly, and the figures in the forest also leaped about. However, with a roar, the leaping flames were suddenly extinguished, and the last glimmer of light in the forest disappeared.
However, at that moment, a cold sword light flashed, and accompanied by spraying hot blood, a huge head flew high into the air, and after two or three seconds, it fell to the ground with a "thud" and rolled several times.
The bear's head rolled a long way on the ground. Because it was stained with blood, the entire bear head was covered with mud and leaves as it rolled, making it look very dirty. After the bear head fell and stopped rolling, blood was still hissing and spurting from the broken neck of the giant bear before it crashed to the ground.
Perhaps because of the poisoning incident, when Mo Mo relit the campfire and the scene of blood everywhere appeared before Jing Tian, he was still a little startled, but he didn't show too much fear, especially when he saw the giant bear's paws, which were even thicker than his waist.
Mo Mo was pondering what to do with the enormous bear carcass when Jing Tian suddenly approached him with a smile and said, "Master Mo, that move you just used was amazing! Could you teach me?"
"You want to learn?" Mo Mo looked at Jing Tian, who was leaning close to him with a smug face, and then glanced at the huge bear carcass and said indifferently.
"Just thinking about it, I dream about it all the time, especially the sword control technique. With it, we can fly far away in a flash. With it, we won't have to walk back slowly anymore." Jing Tian was excited when he heard Mo Mo's words. Mo Mo saying this meant that he had hope.
"It's either you can learn it or you can't, but..." Mo Mo smiled as she looked at Jing Tian.
"But what? As long as you're willing to teach, I'll agree to any condition except for my Yong'an Pawnshop." Jing Tian's face was full of urgency.
Mo Mo smiled slightly and said, "My condition is very simple: you must remove the bear's paws and obtain the bear's demon core by tomorrow morning."
"It's that simple?" Jing Tian was somewhat incredulous, because given Mo Mo's personality, it was impossible for him to complete the task so easily.
“It’s that simple!” Mo Mo nodded affirmatively, then took out a gleaming longsword from his storage space and handed it to him.
After Jing Tian got the longsword, he casually swung it a few times, and the forest was filled with flashing sword light. He casually plucked a hair and pointed it at the blade, and the hair was cut in two without him even needing to blow it.
"What a fine sword! This is worth at least several thousand taels of silver. Is it a gift for me?" Jing Tian gripped the longsword Mo Mo handed him tightly, practically drooling.
"As long as you can complete the mission, what's wrong with giving you this sword?" Mo Mo's words were quite casual, as if he were giving away not a priceless sword that could cut a hair in two, but a toothpick that cost a penny a dozen times.
"A gentleman's word is his bond!" Jing Tian exclaimed excitedly.
"A swift horse, a whip." Mo Mo remained calm and composed.
After receiving Mo Mo's promise, Jing Tian excitedly ran towards the bear carcass. When he was more than a meter away from the bear's paw, he suddenly shouted and jumped up, raising his sword and performing a powerful split.
Seeing Jing Tian's action, Mo Mo's lips suddenly curled up slightly. At that moment, the long sword in Jing Tian's hand had already struck the giant bear paw. Then, with a "poof" sound, followed by a strange cry from Jing Tian, the long sword in his hand bounced high into the air and flew out of his hand.
"Holy crap, is that a bear? It must be some iron lump from Wang the blacksmith's workshop. My hands are numb." Jing Tian looked at the bear paw that hadn't lost a single hair, no, only two hairs, and then at his longsword that had been flung away, and couldn't help but yell.
"Oh, Jingtian, I forgot to tell you, although this bear demon is dead and no longer protected by demonic power, bears are naturally tough and thick-skinned, so it's a bit difficult to deal with. We can only cut it down little by little. By the way, didn't the Fifth Elder of Shu Mountain open up your meridians and transfer some power to you? Make good use of them, maybe you can succeed before tomorrow morning. I'm going to sleep now, goodnight! Hahaha." After saying that, Mo Mo really went back to his hammock, took out the blanket again, and lay down to sleep.
"No wonder this ink pit is so generous. But for this precious sword, for that cool martial arts, I'll risk it all." Seeing Mo Mo fall asleep again, Jing Tian muttered a few words and then threw himself into the great task of cutting the bear paw.
The next morning, Mo Mo was pulled up early by Jing Tian, who was covered in blood. Then, as if showing off, Jing Tian dragged Mo Mo to the side of the giant bear. There, besides two severed bear paws, were the corpses of several wolves and a tiger.
"See that? Last night I not only cut off the bear's paw, but I also took care of the tigers, leopards, jackals and other animals that wanted to attack you. I did such a good job, shouldn't I get a reward?" Jing Tian stood on the tiger, looking smug.
"It's really good, but where's my demon core?" Mo Mo asked with a smile as he looked at the smug Jing Tian.
"Is that demon core a round, thumb-sized ball that glows?" Jing Tian glanced at Mo Mo and asked cautiously.
