"You already have a Fire Lotus inside you, and your understanding of the Law has been resolved. We can go back now." Although it pained him, using the Fire Lotus to save someone was his decision; as for the Fire Lotus being useful for Zhu Xiaohong's comprehension of the Law, that was purely coincidental.
"But..." Zhu Xiaohong opened her mouth. She wanted to say that she hadn't found the Fire Lotus needed to save her mother, and now Mo Wen was using his Fire Lotus to save her instead, which surely meant hers was gone.
"There will naturally be a way. Your Law is not suited to stay here for long; I estimate the medicine you brought is already depleted, right?" Leaning against the cabin door, he looked at Zhu Xiaohong, who was tied up like a dumpling.
"No! I must find the Fire Lotus before I go back!" Upon hearing Mo Wen's words, Zhu Xiaohong froze for a few seconds. He was right; the medicine she had brought was indeed gone, but she couldn't return without finding the Fire Lotus needed to save her mother.
"Fine then, you can stay like this for a while longer. To ensure my Fire Lotus isn’t wasted, I’ll have to inconvenience you a bit, Miss Zhu." With that, he knocked Zhu Xiaohong unconscious. Otherwise, she would keep trying to escape, and at least this way he could enjoy some peace and quiet. As for telling her that he still had a Fire Lotus himself, that seemed inappropriate; in truth, she would probably understand if she thought about it carefully.
"Finally some peace!" Xiao Hei said lazily from the bow of the boat while flipping through a book.
In the following days, they enjoyed a long period of tranquility. When Zhu Xiaohong woke up, she no longer caused a fuss and remained silent, lost in her thoughts. Mo Wen shook his head at her; keeping her tied up like this didn’t seem like a solution. Even in the Ning Shen Realm, cultivators still needed to eat and drink, and especially for Zhu Xiaohong, this situation would be even more severe since there was no spiritual water here to replenish her energy.
"Miss Zhu, how are your thoughts coming along?" Mo Wen leaned against the cabin door and looked at Zhu Xiaohong, who seemed dazed.
"Stay away from me!"
"Alright!" Seeing the murderous look in Zhu Xiaohong's eyes, Mo Wen turned and stepped outside; she still seemed quite spirited.
"Boss, I'm hungry." As soon as he exited the cabin, Xiao Hei looked up at him with a pitiful expression as if he were about to starve.
"Okay then, let's find somewhere to eat." Mo Wen readily agreed to Xiao Hei's request. Although he knew Xiao Hei was just being greedy, he had his own plans.
"Got it! Boss, I found a good place; just turn left ahead!" Hearing his boss agree, Xiao Hei immediately became excited. He had already scouted out a place before asking for permission and was ready to arrange everything as soon as he got the go-ahead.
...
"Aren't you going to eat something?" Mo Wen asked while gnawing on some meat and looking at Zhu Xiaohong.
"I'd rather die than eat!" Zhu Xiaohong turned her head away, but a sound of swallowing came from her throat.
"Hmm, you've got spirit. When I see your father again, I'll be sure to praise you in front of him." He gave Zhu Xiaohong a thumbs-up and continued devouring food alongside Xiao Hei as if they were sweeping everything away.
"You!" Watching Mo Wen eat with grease all over his face made Zhu Xiaohong feel exasperated; at this moment, Xiao Hei only appeared to her as a pet with an enormous appetite.
"You said you wouldn't eat. I'm just being honest." Wiping his mouth clean, he walked over to Zhu Xiaohong. "Just eat this; consider it my way of making things difficult for you." With one hand pinching her chin, he tossed several pills into her mouth.
