Cultivation Begins with Caring for Sister-in-law-Chapter 530: Effects of the Esoteric Dual Refining Technique
Yue Ruyan lay straight on the bed, her slightly rapid breathing betraying her current tension. Looking at the young man above her, Yue Ruyan tightly pursed her slender lips and slowly closed her eyes, turning her delicate head to one side.
"Ruyan, tonight is your wedding night. If you keep your eyes closed like this, won’t you be left with regrets?" Chen Mo said softly, holding her head and making her open her eyes to look at him.
"I... I’m scared." After a long silence, Yue Ruyan finally uttered these words through her pearly teeth, her voice very light.
"What is there to be afraid of, dear? I won’t eat you." Chen Mo caressed Yue Ruyan’s cheek and said.
The usually decisive and commanding Female General seemed to lose her sense of direction at this moment, being led by Chen Mo. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
She gently replied with a "Mm," then slowly opened her eyes, but her hands couldn’t help but clutch the bedsheet beneath her, twisting it into a spiral.
Chen Mo said no more, just reaching into the bride’s collar, feeling a boundless expanse, bringing immense delight.
A soft hum involuntarily escaped from Yue Ruyan’s nose, and she quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth and nose, her fair face already blushing like clouds. Inside, she felt a sense of shame and a hint of indistinguishable anticipation.
Her eyebrows arched, she pressed her pale lips together, and softly said, "Husband, weren’t you going to help me undress? Why..."
The latter part of what Yue Ruyan wanted to say was stuck in her throat.
"It’s cold. Let me warm my hands first." Chen Mo said softly.
A thin line of bashful annoyance surfaced on Yue Ruyan’s face, feeling the young man’s excuse was too lame. Still, knowing Chen Mo’s next actions might be more excessive, and tonight being her wedding night, Yue Ruyan said nothing, but shyly closed her eyes again.
He’s too much, even making her open her eyes and watch.
"Ruyan, be good, open your eyes..." Seeing her eyes closed again, Chen Mo urged gently.
Yue Ruyan pretended not to hear.
"If you’re not obedient, your husband will have to punish you." Chen Mo threatened in the tone you’d use with a child.
Yue Ruyan still pretended not to hear.
The next second, an inexplicable excitement and tremor rose in her heart, instinctively opening her eyes, gazing downwards to see the young man eating defiantly without the host’s permission.
Yue Ruyan’s cheeks turned crimson, her delicate body became numb and soft, while she couldn’t understand why the man viewed as a burden by her was...
She scolded lightly, "You... stop it."
"Ruyan, you should call me husband." Chen Mo glanced at Yue Ruyan, then said, "So, are you going to be good?"
Yue Ruyan: "..."
Did he see her as a child?
Chen Mo leaned close to Yue Ruyan’s ear, his voice carrying an indescribable tone, whispering, "If you don’t say it, your husband will continue punishing you."
Yue Ruyan’s cheeks paused slightly, letting out a soft hum, "No."
"Then will you say it?"
"I... I’ll be good..." Finished speaking, Yue Ruyan opened her eyes, her gaze full of embarrassment.
Chen Mo said no more, just softly rubbing against her cheek and began to help Yue Ruyan undress.
Chen Mo said, "Ruyan, I heard from the Inspector that your troops are very dissatisfied with you, and are becoming difficult to control."
Yue Ruyan’s voice trembled slightly, saying, "Yes... I wronged them, abandoning their families, their resentment towards me... is justified."
Chen Mo said, "I heard about this too. It’s not your fault, fleeing with tens of thousands of citizens is exceptionally hard."
At that moment, Yue Ruyan’s eyebrows furrowed, her slightly opened mouth revealing bright and flawless pearly teeth, and she couldn’t help but hug Chen Mo.
Chen Mo’s gaze intensified, he took a deep breath and silently activated the Esoteric Dual Cultivation Technique taught by Liang Xue, he held onto Yue Ruyan’s delicate hand, interlocking their fingers, pulling his thoughts far away.
Turning a valiant and heroic Female General into a compliant woman was an overwhelming achievement that exhilarated him deeply.
After a while, Yue Ruyan’s knitted eyebrows began to relax, her heart quietly musing, "Is this not as scary as I thought?"
Chen Mo whispered, "Ruyan, I’ve already sent people to investigate Longyou, to see if Jin Xia’s Western Army only retreated from Yu State, or from Longyou as well. Perhaps this Western Army isn’t entirely inhumane, slaughtering all the tens of thousands of your Yue family’s citizens."
Yue Ruyan tightly held Chen Mo’s hands, her voice trembling as she said, "Hopefully."
"However, you have to handle the situation with your troops first." Chen Mo’s expression softened as he gently said, "My suggestion is to dismantle your troops and integrate them into my units. Of course, this isn’t to annex your subordinates, but because I’m planning to head south to deal with some matters. Your troops are an unstable factor."
Yue Ruyan’s heart sank. She wasn’t a fool. She had already anticipated this, but now that it was happening, it still saddened her. She withdrew her hands from Chen Mo’s, embracing his back, clawing her not-too-sharp nails into his back and said:
"I don’t want to be like your other women, spending my latter years in the backyard raising children. Riding into battle and commanding troops is my true aspiration."
Chen Mo winced a bit from the slight pain, which unexpectedly made him even more fervent. He caressed Yue Ruyan’s now slightly sweaty face and said, "Don’t worry about that. Letting an Upper Third-Grade Martial Artist stay home to raise kids would be a waste. I plan to expand the army, recruiting 200,000 from the North, giving you plenty of opportunities to shine."
Now, the entire North was under his control, with a population exceeding ten million, and the current army of 100,000 was evidently insufficient.
Seeing Chen Mo had everything planned, it was clear this wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision. Whether she agreed or disagreed wouldn’t change much. The fact that he brought it up on their wedding night in her presence was already respect enough.
Nonetheless, she expressed her dissatisfaction with actions, leaving a few bloody scratches on Chen Mo’s back.
However, Chen Mo wasn’t angry. Instead, for him, such marks were badges of honor.
Yue Ruyan’s face, covered in a rosy blush, tightly hugged Chen Mo’s back, biting her lower lip and saying, "Don’t... be so reckless..."
Chen Mo did not heed her, instead accelerating the Esoteric Dual Cultivation Technique.
