Flower Moon

Chapter 174 Cuscuta

The air in the small space is humid.Although the young man looks younger than Hua Ling, he is still a man.In the human world, he might already be a father at his age, so it would be difficult for Tao Yue'er to pretend that he doesn't exist.

Although the young man also felt that something was wrong, Tao Yue'er's body was wet and cold, and she was shaking, which made him even more anxious.

"What are you doing standing still? Do you want me to help you?" the young man urged, and when he was about to stretch out his hand to pull off Tao Yue'er's clothes, Tao Yue'er turned around and said, "No, no need, I'll do it myself. "

The light in the cave is not very bright, but you can still see everything around you clearly.There were beast's leg bones on both sides of the tree hole. There were phosphorus fire on the bones, which could emit a faint green light. Tao Yue'er took off her accessories.First he took off his cloak and coat, then he took off the jewelry and jade all over his body, scattering his black hair, and finally, he took off the white dress underneath.

The white dress fell to her shoulders, and she already felt her face burning.I couldn't help but continue to take it off.She quickly looked around and wanted to quickly wrap herself in the animal skin on the ground, but the boy suddenly held her down.

"What are you doing...ah!" Tao Yue'er screamed, and before she could finish asking, the boy had already pushed her down to the ground.

Tao Yue'er fell down on the animal skin, her upper body fell hard to the ground, and her face was squeezed between the young man's hand and the animal skin, causing pain.

The boy seemed eager to take off her clothes, but Tao Yue'er's clothes were bought by Hua Ling from someone unknown. They were both simple and complicated.Simplicity lies in the simple style, and complexity lies in the extremely particular way of tying each ribbon, which is different from the clothes you can see everywhere.She would find it particularly troublesome every time she wore it.

"Could this be worn by a young lady from a wealthy family? Why haven't you seen it anywhere else?" There are [-] or [-] ribbons on the chest alone. You can't see it after wearing it, but it is hidden in the inner clothes and can hide people's body. Perfect outline.She thought that these straps alone should not be cheap.

Whenever I asked Hua Ling, she would always say, "I'm not from a wealthy family, but in my hometown, they all dress like this."

Tao Yue'er asked Hua Ling where his hometown was?But Hua Ling didn't know how to say it. She only said, "One day, I will take you there."

Tao Yue'er stopped asking.Anyway, since he said so, he would definitely take her there.

The young man didn't seem to know how to take off and reconcile the clothes. After taking them off a few times, he couldn't take them off, so he simply exerted force, revealing the animal-like nails on his fingertips.The next moment, with a "tearing" sound, Tao Yue'er's clothes turned into pieces under his palm.

Tao Yue'er was suddenly stripped naked by him, and her entire back was exposed to the air and exposed to his sight.

Tao Yue'er was stunned for a while before she screamed and resisted.

"What's wrong with you? You..." Tao Yue'er panicked.She had no talent for mystical cultivation, and her spiritual power was almost nonexistent. Her cultivation purely relied on the five pieces of jewelry given to her by Hua Ling.And it's been three years, and she still hasn't mastered it.The talent can be said to be at the bottom among the elective disciples.Now that he is completely naked and without any belongings, he is completely powerless to fight back.Being pinned down by a young boy, he didn't even have the strength to struggle.

Tao Yue'er felt really humiliated and helpless.

She lay on the ground for a while, but the boy didn't move at all.She turned her head hard and found that the boy had been staring at her back, a little above her shoulder blades, with a very shocked expression.

"Why...do you have a mark of dodder on your back?" the young man asked in a daze. "I don't know what you are talking about!" Tao Yue'er had no idea what the young man's words meant.

"I don't know what dodder is, there's no mark on my back!"

"Then what is this!" the young man said, regardless of the wind and rain outside, he dragged her, who was mostly naked, to the water's edge, and then pushed her into the river.

The river water at this time was not as hot as it was during the day, but instead was freezing cold.Tao Yue'er squatted in the ice water at half a person's height. She saw the reflection in the water reflecting the faint patterns behind her, and her face was filled with grievances.

"This isn't dodder, it's just a birthmark!" Tao Yuer'er yelled.

She was already shivering from the cold, but now she felt extremely cold, and her whole body was shivering.The sky was pouring with rain, and the river water beneath her was surging, attacking the last trace of warmth on her body.She staggered two steps, then couldn't hold on any longer, fell into the lake, and passed out.

Tao Yue'er didn't know what she would experience. It might be death, or it might be aimless emptiness.She only knew that she was very cold, very cold... not only the coldness of her body, but also the young man in front of her who looked like a Hua Ling but was definitely not a Hua Ling. He was warm to her sometimes and cold to her sometimes.It leaves people scratching their heads and unable to see the way forward.

There was a vast expanse in front of her, and darkness behind her...

When Tao Yue'er woke up again, she returned to the boy's tree hole.At this moment, the door of the tree cave was still closed, and the strong wind was still raging outside without stopping. Tao Yue'er didn't know how long it had been. She only knew that the dryness and warmth before had returned to the cave, and her body was already... Not even an inch of hair.Only the lower body was still vaguely covered with a few pieces of animal skin.

She was lying on the animal skin with her back facing up, and the boy was still on her body, no, more specifically on her back, doing something.

"What did you do to me!" Tao Yue'er screamed, and the sudden movement caused burning pain to spread throughout her back.She clearly felt that the boy was doing some very scary things on her back, but because she was held down by the boy, she couldn't turn back at all, and she couldn't see.

"Don't move." The boy shouted lowly and pressed her neck roughly.The other hand was still doing something on her back. Tao Yue'er felt as if thousands of needles were pricking her back, and her whole body was tense.

Only then did Tao Yue'er discover that the boy's hand, which was bitten off by a wild beast, had recovered as before in a short period of time.Even more powerful than before - in this world, they will not die.It will hurt, but it will heal faster.And every time they are injured, they will become stronger and stronger.

The boy is stronger.

Tao Yue'er could tell from his heavy breathing behind him that not only had the boy become stronger, but his temper had also gotten worse.

She had to stop struggling and let the young man vent his anger on her.Otherwise, she believed that with his strength, the hand he held around her neck could easily break her.

She will never see the rising sun again the next day, nor will she see Hua Ling again...
