Quick Travel: The beginning is Shura Field

Chapter 1729: The Road to Godhood - Prequel (61)

Dai Ke helped him stand up and said patiently: "You are a human being. You must learn to walk on your legs and stop using your arms."

Along with her words, Dai Ke added actions to help Mo Xiao understand better.

Mo Xiao stood with his back hunched. Dai Ke pressed his back with one hand and grabbed his shoulder with the other, pushing him forward gently: "Feel how your body exerts force and straighten your back."

Obviously, habits formed over more than ten years cannot be changed in an instant.

It took Dai Ke a whole day to teach Mo Xiao to stand up.

…Maintaining the fantasy consumes a huge amount of divine power, so Dai Ke rests with Mo Xiao at night.

In the morning, Dai Ke felt the wetness on her cheek. When she opened her eyes, she saw Mo Xiao kneeling on the bed and licking her.

Dai Ke reluctantly sat up and guided him step by step: "Don't lick people, don't kneel, keep your back straight."

But the next second, Mo Xiao threw himself into her arms, rubbing against her.

Dai Ke, who had never enjoyed such intimacy before, felt uncomfortable but did not push it away.

"Okay, okay, I know you're hungry, so I'll take you to the human world to eat something delicious, okay?"

Before going to bed last night, Dai Ke still felt that the human world was more suitable for Mo Xiao's growth. Seeing more about human habits could also help him get rid of his beastly habits.

Mo Xiao didn't know where the human world was. He just nodded along with Dai Ke's words, as if he agreed to whatever she said. "So good."

...

Although there is time, the interval cannot be too long.

In order to let Mo Xiao distinguish him from the wild beasts as soon as possible, Dai Ke led him to the prosperous city in the human world.

But walking on the busy and crowded streets, Mo Xiao's eyes were filled with fear, and he clung to Dai Ke tightly.

"I'm here, don't be afraid."

Dai Ke forcibly pulled Mo Xiao off him, but he still held the hem of his sleeve tightly.

After finding an inn to rest, Dai Ke had food delivered to the room.

Mo Xiao had been hungry for a long time. When he saw the table full of delicious food, he wanted to jump onto the stool like a monkey.

"Cough cough!"

Dai Ke coughed twice heavily, and Mo Xiao paused. Meeting Dai Ke's displeased eyes, Mo Xiao sat down on the stool obediently.

Then, Dai Ke handed him the chopsticks: "I taught you to use chopsticks to eat."

Mo Xiao held the chopsticks tightly and tried to pick up the food clumsily. He didn't eat a single bite for a long time. His pair of puppy eyes stared at Dai Ke with grievance.

Dai Ke said gently but sternly: "It's no use looking at me, you have to learn this."

Mo Xiao hung his head, slowed down his movements, and poked the food in the bowl into his mouth.

By the time Mo Xiao had finished eating, it was almost dark.

Seeing that the black owl's fur was drooping, Dai Ke touched his head and praised: "This time it's not too slow, you did a great job, keep up the good work."

Mo Xiao seemed to like being patted on the head and excitedly threw himself into Dai Ke's arms.

The defenseless Dai Ke fell to the ground, and Mo Xiao grabbed Dai Ke's shoulders and rubbed her cheek lightly.

Mo Xiao's skin was rough from years of wind and sun, and it rubbed Dai Ke's cheeks so hard that they hurt.

"Okay, okay, I'll put some ointment on you."

Dai Ke took out a porcelain jar, scooped out the cooling ointment inside, and applied it on Mo Xiao's face inch by inch.

Dai Ke followed his fingers with his eyes and when he applied the lotion under his eyes, he met Mo Xiao's sparkling eyes. Dai Ke was stunned for a moment, then casually looked away.

Mo Xiao squatted obediently in front of Dai Ke, enjoying her touch very much.

"Okay, I'll take you for a walk outside."

It was a coincidence that Dai Ke and his friends came at the right time, as today is the Reunion Festival in the human world.

Next to the river, lanterns were lined up or chasing each other. Dai Ke's focus was not on the festival, but he said to Mo Xiao beside him: "Observe the people around you and learn from their behavior."

Mo Xiao's curious eyes fell on the bright lanterns, and he pointed at the floating lanterns and let out a quick "Ah!"

Dai Ke asked, "Do you want to light lanterns too?"

Mo Xiao nodded heavily. Dai Ke didn't find any silver on him, so he could only take out a night-shining pearl and walked to the lantern stall: "Can I exchange this for a lantern?"

When the boss saw the bright beads, his eyes lit up and he handed the most beautiful lantern on the stall to Dai Ke.

Dai Ke handed the lantern to Mo Xiao and took him to the riverside, holding a piece of paper and a brush in his hand: "Write down your wish when you light the lantern. What do you want? Peace, strength, power or..."

"Hold...hands..."

Mo Xiao's awkward pronunciation and the short two words made Dai Ke pause in her writing. She turned her head uncertainly: "What?"

Mo Xiao imitated the couple on the other side of the river, holding Dai Ke's hand and interlocking their fingers, and imitated their words: "I wish... to hold... your hand... and grow old with you."

Dai Ke looked across, frowned when he came back to his senses, and said, "I told you to learn, but I didn't tell you to learn everything."

As he said this, Dai Ke withdrew his hand, casually wrote a wish for peace on a note, and hastily released the lantern.

On the way back, Dai Ke bought a lot of books, preparing to teach Mo Xiao to read and write first, so that he wouldn't learn to speak without understanding the meaning.

Along the way, Mo Xiao also noticed that Dai Ke was in a bad mood, and he pursed his lips and dared not say a word.

After returning to the inn, Dai Ke was afraid that something might happen to Mo Xiao if he stayed alone in the room, so he conjured up a small bed next to his own bed and let Mo Xiao lie down and rest.

But Mo Xiao squatted on the small bed and stared at Dai Ke: "You...are...unhappy..."

He spoke slowly, and it took him several attempts to utter a complete syllable.

Only then did Dai Ke notice his emotions, and couldn't even understand why he suddenly became impatient.

She adjusted her mood and said gently, "I'm not unhappy, I just feel that there are some things I can't say casually."

"And the meaning of the words just now by the river is to live and die together, and to be together until old age. It expresses a very close relationship and willingness to live and die together, but we are not like that."

Mo Xiao was just a chess piece to her. She treated him well out of guilt and had no other intention.

Mo Xiao didn't understand and his face wrinkled.

Dai Ke patted the top of his head gently: "Okay, don't think about it for now, go to sleep."

Dai Ke lay down, and Mo Xiao jumped onto Dai Ke's bed. He curled up his thin body and stayed beside Dai Ke's head like a kitten.

Seeing this, Dai Ke did not drive him away, but just moved slightly to the inside to increase the distance between them. But in the middle of the night, Mo Xiao, not knowing whether he was cold or insecure, crept into Dai Ke's bed, leaned in her arms, listened to her heartbeat, and fell asleep with attachment.

From the moment he made the move, Dai Ke wanted to push him away.

But she suddenly thought of the intermittent words by the river.

If she wants Mo Xiao to follow her plan, she needs Mo Xiao's absolute trust and help.

Then using emotions to tie him down is a good strategy.

-

Mo Xiao was smarter than she thought. In three months, Mo Xiao's language became much more fluent and he had no problem communicating in daily life.

But the problem is...

Dai Ke frowned, stern but helpless: "No licking!"
