The Journey of Freedom After the Awakening of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit

understood!

Zi Nu smiled, knowing what was going on, and turned to walk out the door with the girl in green.

Anyone who can be treated this way by Wei Zhuang must be very strong.

Who knows, this might be the person who amused Wei Zhuang today. Thinking of the direction Wei Zhuang had been gazing not long ago, Zi Nu smiled knowingly.

Just as Zi Nu had expected, Wei Zhuang sensed Jing Ni's appearance at Zi Lan Xuan.

At this moment, Zi Nu was going to meet someone he found troublesome, a swordsman known for his extremely fast attacks. Wei Zhuang was definitely worried and had to go with her personally.

The three arrived outside the private room. Zi Nu straightened herself up, then opened the door with a smile and went inside.

Wei Zhuang and the girl in green entered the room one after the other, standing on either side.

As soon as she entered, Zi Nu's gaze was drawn to Moria, who was sitting by the window.

"Such a divine appearance exists in this world!"

Zi Nu sighed inwardly, feeling that there was an aura about Moria that was firmly attracting her and making her infatuated.

The girl in green also looked at Moria with hazy eyes, feeling that Moria was even more handsome than before, exuding a strong masculine aura that made her unable to resist throwing herself into his arms.

This is one of Moria's techniques for utilizing the physical body.

His life level is clearly much stronger than that of all humans. As long as he exudes his masculine power through an indescribable life fluctuation, it is like a deadly poison to women, deeply attracting them.

Just like female animals in nature, they will find a strong male to be the father of their children.

Humans are also advanced animals, and the animal instinct to seek out the strong in a mate selection still exists.

But Zi Nu was, after all, a woman skilled in martial arts, and she quickly shook off Moria's alluring temptation.

Then she noticed Jing Ni, who was kneeling and holding Xiao Yan'er with a gentle expression. Even so, in Zi Nu's eyes, Jing Ni was still like a sharp longsword that had been sheathed and stood straight.

The reason for not drawing the sword is that it is only for the purpose of a spectacular and earth-shattering event, which is even more dangerous than drawing the sword.

"He is indeed a formidable and powerful figure!" Zi Nu thought to herself.

From the moment Wei Zhuang entered the room, his eyes were fixed on Jing Ni with vigilance.

As for Moria, no matter how extraordinary he is, he is just an ordinary person without internal energy.

"Is this the young master who was looking for me?"

Zi Nu raised her hand to her lips, covered her mouth with a smile, and swayed her slender waist as she walked gracefully to the opposite side of Moria's long table and knelt down.

Facing Jing Ni, Wei Zhuang knelt down and faced Moria.

Unfortunately, Moria's gaze was fixed on Zi Nu from the moment she entered, and he didn't even glance at Wei Zhuang.

It has to be said that cuteness is truly powerless against sexiness.

Purple Girl perfectly embodies what sexiness is.

A purple dress paired with black tights and a bodysuit exudes allure. Her exposed, slender waist is incredibly toned and captivating, making it impossible to stop touching her.

Her appearance was naturally extremely beautiful, but Moria had seen a lot, so he wasn't particularly amazed. It was her mature and sophisticated aura that truly piqued his interest.

"Cough cough!"

Perhaps Moria's gaze was too intense, for Zi Nu frowned and had to speak up to remind someone not to go too far.

Jingni shook her head slightly, realizing for the first time that her husband was truly powerless against beautiful women.

Ha ha!

Moria smiled, withdrawing his admiring gaze from the purple-clad woman, and at the same time concealing his aura, otherwise the green-clad girl standing to the side would have already squeezed her legs together, almost unable to hold on.

It's just that the life level suppression makes the instinctive attraction too strong for women who aren't strong enough.

Ignoring Zi Nu, Moria finally turned his gaze to Wei Zhuang, the boy who had coolness and pride etched into his very bones, sitting opposite him.

Looking at Wei Zhuang with his white hair, Moria's first words, without any apparent reason, were: "That's amazing, you actually have white hair."

Teng!

No sooner had he finished speaking than a sword rang out. Wei Zhuang, who was sitting opposite Moria, instantly drew his sword without saying a word. He gripped the sword in his right hand and thrust it straight at Moria's throat.

This sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard; it happened so fast that only Jingni reacted in time. However, she didn't make a move, trusting Moria's abilities.

Ding!

Moria remained calm, his right fist clenched and held upright in front of his chest. Then he extended his long index finger and placed it in front of his chin, the nail on his index finger just blocking the tip of Wei Zhuang's Shark Tooth Sword that was about to pierce his throat.

"how is this possible?"

For the first time, Wei Zhuang's usually cold face showed emotion, and his heart was deeply shaken.

Even though he never intended to kill Moria in the first place.

So he held back some of his strength, only thinking of stabbing Moria in the throat with his sword and giving him a profound lesson.

But he wasn't an ordinary person without any internal energy, so there was no reason why he could easily block his sword with just a finger.

Moreover, that index finger wasn't on the front side, but on the side of the nail where it's harder to apply force.

This suggests that, compared to him holding back some of his strength, the "ordinary" person in front of him was the opposite, probably only using a fraction of his strength.

This was unacceptable to Wei Zhuang's pride, so he began to exert more force.

An invisible force began to clash.

Moria remained calm, and no matter how hard Wei Zhuang tried, his index finger remained completely still.

The contest of strength will be based on his ability to smoothly control his physical strength at will.

Even if Wei Zhuang were stronger than him, he wouldn't be able to move Wei Zhuang's index finger an inch under Wei Zhuang's force-reducing effect.

Therefore, Wei Zhuang's efforts were destined to be in vain.

It was only at this moment that the purple-clad woman and the green-clad girl realized what was happening.

In an instant, Zi Nu gripped the hilt of the longsword she carried with her, and together with the girl in green, they looked warily at Jing Ni.

Jingni remained unmoved, still holding the child, and the two of them breathed a slight sigh of relief.

After all, Jing Ni is a powerful figure whom even Wei Zhuang is wary of.

Of course, now someone even more terrifying than this formidable powerhouse has appeared.

"So strong!!!"

While secretly keeping a close watch on Jing Ni, Zi Nu was also shocked by what she was seeing.

As an old friend, no one knew better than her just how strong Wei Zhuang, the successor of Guigu School, truly was.

But this incredibly powerful man appeared utterly powerless before this ordinary man who, even now, showed no signs of internal energy fluctuation.

One finger!

Just one finger!

Go outside and ask around. Who would believe that a disciple of Guiguzi could have his sword blocked by a single finger and couldn't advance an inch?

It's unbelievable that it was blocked by a single finger from a man who looks so young.

However, that's exactly what happened.

Wei Zhuang stared intently, his aura growing stronger and stronger. Just as he couldn't help but unleash his full sword intent, unleashing the Horizontal Sweep of Eight Directions technique.

"Stop!"

Moria smiled and withdrew his hand.

In an instant, Wei Zhuang was like a man about to reach the peak, who suddenly lost his footing and fell straight down into the valley, almost unable to catch his breath.

Fortunately, Wei Zhuang was a gifted individual, and he promptly sheathed his Shark Tooth Sword.

Then, without saying a word, he looked at Moria with a cold face.

If he hadn't been oblivious to the murderous intent emanating from Moria and Jing Ni, he would have taught this "ordinary" man a lesson today, no matter what. The cool Wei Zhuang thought to himself.

It's good that a fight didn't break out!

Zi Nu felt a sense of relief and put her sword away again. Then she looked at Moria with a half-smile.

"I didn't expect you to be such a skilled martial artist, young master. But did you summon me here simply to show off your strength?"

"My name is Moria, and this is my wife. You can call her Mrs. Moria." Moria smiled and introduced himself and Jingni first before preparing to talk about buying a house.

However, Zi Nu suddenly interjected and asked, "Liya is your courtesy name, right? Young Master Mo's given name is quite particular and cannot be easily revealed to others?"

“If that’s the case,” Violet said before Moria could reply, “I don’t want to discuss any big business with someone whose name I don’t even know.”

name??

Moria was taken aback, somewhat confused. Hadn't he already introduced himself?

Moria suddenly fell into deep thought.

Jingni stood to the side, looking at her husband with curiosity. When she asked him his name, he only gave her courtesy name and not his given name.

Is there really some unspeakable secret that cannot be revealed to others?

Oh, right!

Moria pondered for a moment and then understood.

In his past life, he was curious and specifically looked into why modern people use names instead of courtesy names.

In ancient times, names were separate. For example, if the surname was Liu, the given name was Bei, and the courtesy name was Xuande, one could be called Liu Bei or Liu Xuande.

But when did the practice of using the character "表" (biǎo) cease?

After the Yuan Dynasty, courtesy names were no longer commonly used in naming practices.

Before this, people in ancient times usually had one character in their given name and two characters in their courtesy name.

That's why when Moria introduced himself as Moria, Shiki said that "Lia" was his courtesy name, not his given name.

That's it!

Having figured it out, Moriah introduced himself again: "My surname is Moriah, my given name is Shadow, and my courtesy name is Moriah."

When Moria came up with a name, he subconsciously used the character "Shadow," which also corresponded to his Shadow-Shadow Fruit ability.

"Mo Ying!"
