Liu Xiao pushed Wu Qingge hastily and cleared his throat. He awkwardky laughed at Wu Qingge who was looking slightly dejected but still remained his cool and protagonist demeanor. Liu Xiao looked upward and saw that the hole above the Sheng Jing Mine was already covered and they had no way out. He glanced at Wu Qingge and was about to ask him how will they escape but remembering the shameful thing they did earlier, Liu Xiao decided to keep his mouth shut.

his granpa's voice rang inside his head.

Do you know what i should do?" Liu Xiao replied, his finger was pressed on his temples, massaging it lightly.

his granpa demanded with a teasing voice.

Liu Xiao exclaimed, feeling impatient.

all of a sudden Liu Xiao's back felt heavy, a pair of fiery orange wings growed out on him and it spread out like a bird wanting to fly.

Liu Xiao cried and pulled out the wings but a sharp pain tingled on his back, as if his bones were pulled out.

His commoner white robe was stretched out by the wings and was ripped into pieces, exposing his slender body infront of Wu Qingge. His hips was the only thing that was covered with the remaining fabric of the white robe. After a few moments, the flapping wings on his back calmed down and Liu Xiao yelled inside his mind.

his granpa replied back, laughing so hard.

Liu Xiao paused and thought of something.

His granpa hmph-ed and didn't replied anymore. He turned at Wu Qingge who was looking at him wuth wide eyes and his face flushed red. Liu Xiao tilted his head on him in confusion and looked at what Wu Qingge was looking at, he saw his shoudler and collarbone, bare chest and nipples exposed down to his slender and petite hips, the half of his bottom part was covered with the remaining fabric of his shredded white robe.

Liu Xiao awkwardly laughed and scatched his head then walked forward to approached Wu Qingge, he frowned when Wu Qingge abruptly backed away when he tried to approach. Liu Xiao asked with a confused expression.

Wu Qingge didn't replied then immediately looked away and removed his outer robe and handed it to Liu Xiao. he said, still looking away from Liu Xiao's direction.

Oh my god! What are you being baby about! Is this really considered sexual?! I know you're bent but you don't need to feel shameful! Your body is much more beautiful than mine who looked like malnourished with bones! ┐('д｀)┌

Liu Xiao accepted the robe with a sour expression and wore it, but as soon as he wore Wu Qingge's outer robe, it suddenly shredded into pieces when he tried to spread the wings on his back. He nervously collected the shredded fabric pieces and glanced at Wu Qingge apologetically, his shoulder down to his hips were exposed again.

Wu Qingge replied with a low voice.

Liu Xiao was feeling impatient to go out of the cave so he approached Wu Qingge in a hurry and put his both hands on the both sides of his waist. Wu Qingge frozed on the spot, his whole body stiffened while Liu Xiao was letting his hands wrap around Liu Xiao's waist.

( Liu Xiao ur so bold 👁👄👁👌 )

Liu Xiao instructed, his hands leading Wu Qingge's hands on the both sides of his waist and the wings on his back spreading wide, readying itself to fly.

Wu Qingge didn't replied and was still in a shock while staring at him so Liu Xiao frowned and tapped his cheeks three times. Liu Xiao asked again. This time, Wu Qingge blinked once and nodded slowly, still in a daze.

Liu Xiao let the wings on his back spread wider while Wu Qingge was hugging on his waist tightly and Liu Xiao's hands were wrapped on his both armpit, carrying him. they both flew in the sky rapidly, Wu Qingge hands around his waist seemed to loosened so Liu Xiao scolded him.

Wu Qingge pulled Liu Xiao's body into him closer, the air of his breathing was brushing on Liu Xiao's collarbone and it made him tickle a little. Liu Xiao spread his wings wider and flapped it many times, making their speed multiply.

Above the cave, a stone was already visible. Wu Qingge raised his one hand and his other hand was still holding on Liu Xiao's waist. He charged a few amount of demonic qi on his palms before shooting it on the wall like a laser beam, exploding it into pieces. Liu Xiao passed through the hole that Wu Qingge made and the large twinkling silver crystals were now visible.

The attack that Wu Qingge made seems to trigger the cave and it started to collapse again. The twinkling silver crystals shuddered and fall on the ground, making a wailing sound and the twinklimg glow slowly died. Liu Xiao continued to fly while carrying Wu Qingge on his both arms out of the cave, they ended up in the volcano but a large amount of lava were already flowing out of the corners.

Liu Xiao panicked and immediately flew up, his wings felt sore as they both landed on the ground, catching their breath while Liu Xiao was on top of Wu Qingge, who was raising his eyes and staring at him from below.

Why...

Why are all the Mount Hua Peak disciples here?! What the hell is happening?! ('༎ຶ۝༎ຶ)

（⊙.⊙）They were looking at them with that expression. Only then, Liu Xiao realized that he was on top of Wu Qingge who was jist staring at him and not saying a word. Liu Xiao glanced at the Mount Hua Peak disciples who were all so shocked that they can't say a word and he waved then spoke,

Chen Yi who was behind the disciples walked forward, the disciples were giving her way as she stepped.

Liu Xiao replied.

one male disciple said.

Liu Xiao was shocked when he turned around to see that it was seriously just trees. There was no sight of the big volcano that they entered earlier!

Liu Xiao shouted in his mind.

Liu Xiao was dumbfounded. He was just blindly following Wu Qingge from behind so he didn't notice that Wu Qingge waa the one who broke the barrier so they can enter the Shen Jing Mine. He felt so stupid.

the disciples looked away and a few cleared their throats. a female disciple asked.

"How bold of you to ask! Didn't you see that he and Senior Brother Wu were having a honeymoon right now?"

"Yeah, that's right! No wonder Senior Brother Liu wasn't able to reply to the paper messenger..."

"How outrageous of us to disturb them from having fun!"

"Look! Senior brother was disturb! We fail as your junior! We're sorry!"

"We're sorry Senior Brother!"

"Forgive us!"

Liu Xiao realised their situation and wanted to pull his hair and bury himself at the same time. His tied hair was now loose and messy, his clothes and Wu Qingge's outer robe was both shredded into pieces, exposing his bare back and chest and Wu Qingge's robe was disheveled and crumpled-much worse is that Liu Xiao was on top of him! Liu Xiao removed his weight on top of Wu Qingge's body and anxiously faced anyone, his mouth opened and tried to explain.

he glanced at the forest and tried to make an excuse that makes sense since explaining the thing regarding the volcano and mine seemed unbelievable.

Loud coughs were heard in the backgroujd and the disciples forced their laugh to fake themselves on agreeing to Liu Xiao's excuse.

"T-That's a weird way to fight Senior Brother."

"Or is he implying on the ither way of fighting?"

"Well, maybe. Since making live might by a synonym for fighting-"

Liu Xiao yelled and cried. He glanced at Mo Xian who was beside Chen Yi and was just staring at him. Liu Xiao cried, feeling ashamed.

Mo Xian ordered with a serene posture. The disciples vowed down to him and quietly followed his order and went out of the scene.

After a moment, a large number of papers filled with yellow spiritual qi was flying on Liu Xiao's direction and endless voice rang inside his ear.

"Brother Liu, where are you?"

"If something happened, just send a paper messenger to us."

"Brother Liu, why are you not responding?"

"Brother Liu, how was the thing that you said you will be taking care of?"

"Where is the Shi Xuan kid with you?"

"Brother Liu! Master is worried come back!"

"Brother Liu?"

"Brother Liu, did something happened? Where are you right now!?"

"Did demon cultivators attacked you?! Are you injured?!"

"We're coming right wait for us!"

"We're bringing all the disciples! Are you kidnapped somewhere?!"

"Brother Liu, we tracked your spiritual qi and ended up in the Tian Shou Mountain, are you here?"

"Brother Liu, stop joking and respond quickly!"

"Brother Liu!"

"BROTHER LIU!"

"BROTHER LIU!!!"

"BROTHER——"

"Whatever, just die."

Liu Xiao awkwardly glanced at Chen Yi who was crossing her arms and glaring at him, she then glanced at Wu Qingge behind him who was dazed and still sitting on the ground. Chen Yi greeted calmly but her face was saying the opposite.

Wu Qingge just nodded at him and slowly stood up. He charged demonic qi on Liu Xiao and the Black outer robe that was shredded to pieces was now fixed since his wings was already long gone. Liu Xiao, remembering that there is important things to say, tried to run towards Mo Xian to say something but Wu Qingge halted him and shook his head.

Liu Xiao sighed and calmed himself. It's better to not inform Master first. Even if it seemed that i was keeping secrets to myself, the others will be safe and sound with me and Wu Qingge taking actions together while being unnoticed. But i think the trap that the floating palace master laid now alerted him and he must already knew that someone infiltrated the Shen Jing Mine.

He looked at Mo Xian and spoke,

Mo Xian raised his eyebrows and asked,

Liu Xiao glanced at Wu Qingge and answered,

Mo Xian stared at him for a few moments before nodding, as if he understands everything and turned around with a smile.
