Mo Wuji subconsciously returned Ji Li's embrace. At this instant, his heart started to throb.
Ji Li instantly felt Mo Wuji's body heating up. She immediately returned to her senses and tried to break free from Mo Wuji's embrace.
The reason why she did all this was because of the extreme sense of weakness she felt since Fang Shiyu threatened to possess her. Thus, after she saw Mo Wuji again, she did not think twice to hug him. This was an act which was entirely based on excitement and fragility. In reality, there were no feelings between a man and a woman in her action.
However, Mo Wuji's reaction waked her up. This was because it was out of the ordinary.
As a cultivator that reached the level of Mo Wuji and her, he definitely wouldn't have such a reaction in that short moment.
