Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace-Chapter 118 Yunxi
"Yunxi."
"Call me Empress."
"Yunxi."
"You... you’re very bold, daring to do this to me?"
"Didn’t you not resist?"
"You... you dare to impersonate a eunuch?"
...
On the Phoenix Bed, Chen Mo had his arm around Xiao Yunxi’s slender waist, his shoulder marked with her bite marks, her hair cascading over his shoulder, her head resting on his arm, her lips slightly pouty, and her long, narrow phoenix eyes glaring at him.
There was a playful intimacy like that of a husband and wife.
Chen Mo sensed Xiao Yunxi’s psychological shift, not only chuckling but also feeling a deep sense of achievement and immense satisfaction; after all, this was the Empress he was holding tightly. He teased, "Isn’t this perfect?"
Xiao Yunxi gave Chen Mo a fierce look and then bit his shoulder again, this time drawing blood.
Chen Mo bore it silently without complaint.
A moment later, Xiao Yunxi released her bite, looked up at Chen Mo, and scolded, "Were you already plotting against me?"
"How could that be?" Chen Mo shook his head and then said, "I gradually fell for you, Yunxi..."
Chen Mo knew she was more sensitive at this moment.
If he admitted it.
This kind of scheming with a purpose might stir Xiao Yunxi’s resentment.
She might even think that his kindness was all part of a plan, not genuine, which would hurt her feelings.
"Hmph." Xiao Yunxi snorted coldly, "If not, then how do you explain the Fake Eunuch identity?"
After all, without a purpose, it takes incredible courage to stay beside her disguised as a Fake Eunuch...
"Actually, my name isn’t Chen Hong, but his twin brother Chen Mo..." Chen Mo stroked Xiao Yunxi’s hair and continued, "The only reason I entered the palace was that I couldn’t survive outside."
This was true.
One of the main reasons the original entered the palace was largely due to the inability to survive outside.
After all, the whole village was flooded.
His brother was gone too.
With the family shattered, if he didn’t enter the palace.
He’d either starve to death or become a beggar.
With the breakthrough in their relationship, Chen Mo had nothing to hide and shared this with Xiao Yunxi.
"Such boldness, you... you..."
Xiao Yunxi blushed and pushed Chen Mo away.
His courage exceeded her imagination.
Impersonating her eunuch brother, infiltrating the Harem.
Risking everything every day.
Strategizing step by step.
Now, moreover...
Xiao Yunxi’s face couldn’t help but flush as she thought of this.
If her cycle hadn’t been present, perhaps he would have... thoroughly been with her.
Xiao Yunxi kicked Chen Mo off the bed.
Such extreme behavior of theirs had a large connection to the Heart Fire triggered by the Feather Nirvana Heart Scripture.
Otherwise, she would at most allow Chen Mo to kiss her, not hold her on the Phoenix Bed.
Apart from the final step, what they should and shouldn’t have done.
They had almost done it all.
Xiao Yunxi needed a moment to calm down.
"Get out," she huffed, but immediately lowered her voice.
After all, if Cai’Er or the others found out now, it would be disastrous.
Chen Mo wasn’t upset; their relationship was already a settled matter. After putting on his clothes from the floor, he leisurely retrieved a new pair of black stockings from his chest and threw them on the bed, saying, "Here you go, Yunxi, wear them, I’ll check tonight..."
"I told you to call me Empress," Xiao Yunxi scowled, grabbing the black stockings Chen Mo threw and tossed them off the bed.
Her gaze drifting to the already torn black stockings on the bed made her face turn beet red. "Aren’t you... afraid of death?"
"For you, what fear is death?" Chen Mo replied casually.
"Get out."
Xiao Yunxi, face flushed, hurled another scold.
"Remember to wear them."
Chen Mo picked them up and tossed them back onto the bed before tidying his clothes at the vanity and leaving. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
After Chen Mo left, Xiao Yunxi’s composure crumbled, her face flushed; she grabbed her hair with both hands, looked up at the ceiling, her cheeks so red they seemed to bleed at a touch, and hugged her knees:
"What have I done?"
"Bold fool."
Xiao Yunxi’s mind seethed with fury as she glared at the black stockings Chen Mo had thrown back on the bed, gripping them as if to tear.
But as she pulled them taut, ready to rip.
She relented, letting them fall to the side, "He wants me to wear them, who does he think he is? Not a chance."
However, after dawdling for a quarter-hour, she slowly, leisurely put them on.
Lightly touching her foot, Xiao Yunxi seemed to remember something, slipped from the bed after dressing.
Composed herself, calmed her emotions, and lit some incense.
Assured no traces would be left, Xiao Yunxi took a deep breath and called, "Cai’Er."
Soon, Cai’Er entered.
Xiao Yunxi continued, "Prepare a basin of hot water for me, add petals, Cyan Leaf Lotus, Jade Flower Fruit Juice..."
"Understood." Following Xiao Yunxi’s instructions, Cai’Er left respectfully.
Xiao Yunxi’s face blushed slightly, aware of Chen Mo’s adoration for her feet...
...
Chen Mo divided the remaining glutinous rice balls in the kitchen into three portions, giving the largest to Ye Wanqiu, then one to Zhao Fujin, and one to Zhao Jiangning.
After all, having given some to Zhao Fujin with Zhao Jiangning present, it would be a bit awkward not to share.
This was just basic social etiquette.
By now, he had reached outside Jingru Palace.
After hiding two portions of glutinous rice balls on the red wall, Chen Mo climbed over to enter Jingru Palace.
At this moment, Ye Wanqiu was reclining in bed reading.
Being a newlywed, Ye Wanqiu, and with Chen Mo being inconsiderate, plus her frail physique.
Even now, Ye Wanqiu’s body still felt slightly sore.
So Chen Mo didn’t do much this time.
He just embraced Ye Wanqiu, fed her the rice balls, exchanged some tender words, and hurried off to Fengyang Pavilion.
He had no choice, he was just too busy.
If he indulged in any softness, he wouldn’t make it to Fengyang Pavilion today.
...
Sure enough.
When Chen Mo met Zhao Fujin and Zhao Jiangning again, Zhao Fujin was complaining.
"Why are you only coming now?" Zhao Fujin whined accusingly at Chen Mo, then added, "Big sister fainted from pain during an earlier attack and just woke up not long ago."
"There was something that delayed me, wasn’t there? These are glutinous rice balls I made myself, an apology gift to you." Chen Mo handed the food box to Zhao Fujin, "It might not be hot anymore, but in this hot weather, you can still eat it."
Finishing, he glanced at Zhao Jiangning on the bed and said, "Prince De Ning, how are you feeling now?"
