Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace-Chapter 228 - 227 I promise

Hearing Zhihua's words.

Yi Yao felt her body begin to sway unsteadily.

Because she bore the identity of an illegitimate daughter, and an unrecognized one at that. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Her mother was a courtesan from the brothel.

This kind of responsibility.

Made her childhood extremely miserable, often pointed at by others.

Being an illegitimate daughter, she also didn't expect to be oppressed by people sent by the main wife of the Xiao Family.

As for fatherly love, Yi Yao never experienced it.

Because even her biological father seemed to feel ashamed because of her.

As time passed day by day, it developed her inferiority complex and the idea of escaping Bianliang.

Until one day, she met a woman.

This woman became her master.

She treated her with meticulous care.

Even more concerned about her than her own mother.

Let her feel the warmth of the world.

So in her heart, her master held a status comparable to her mother, even somewhat surpassing.

Therefore, she could not allow her master to suffer any harm.

If possible, she wanted to use her own life to ensure her master's safety.

After learning that her mother betrayed her.

In her heart, her master's status became unmatched by anyone.

"Your master has been captured by the people of the Xiao Mansion. Only if you go to the Chen Mansion and behave well can you save your master," Zhihua was actually very dissatisfied with Yi Yao's master, believing she had corrupted her daughter.

Previously, Yi Yao was very obedient to her.

And with Zhihua's words, Yi Yao believed it; with so many experts in the Xiao Mansion, knowing her master's location, capturing her was indeed possible.

Yi Yao felt as if the sky was about to collapse.

She believed it was her fault that her master suffered.

If she hadn't told Zhihua her master's location.

Her master wouldn't have been captured.

"I must first see my master, then you release her, and I will agree with you." Yi Yao took a deep breath, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, and said.

Seeing Yi Yao not even calling her mother, Zhihua felt a sudden pain in her heart, then said, "Impossible, only if you go to the Chen Mansion and behave, will the Xiao Mansion release your master."

Yi Yao glared directly at Zhihua: "Then how do I know if you're lying to me again? You must release my master first."

"You have no choice," Zhihua closed her eyes.

"Thud..."

Suddenly, Yi Yao knelt in front of Zhihua, tears streaming down her face, "Mother, I beg you, please release my master, please, I beg you."

But no matter how Yi Yao pleaded, Zhihua remained unmoved.

Seeing that she couldn't soften Zhihua, Yi Yao felt despair.

She stood up, wiped the tears from her face, and said, "I will do as you say.

But if you deceive me again, I will no longer see you as my mother."

Upon hearing this, Zhihua's body trembled, and she then nodded.

Then Zhihua left the room.

Outside the room, a middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe, exuding elegance, stood there.

Seeing Zhihua come out, he quickly asked, "How did it go?"

Zhihua, with tears in her eyes, threw herself into the middle-aged man's arms, then said, "Qinghong, Yaoyao wants to sever the mother-daughter relationship with me."

The middle-aged man was taken aback, then frowned and said, "It didn't work."

"Qinghong, Yaoyao wants to sever the mother-daughter relationship with me." Seeing Yi Qinghong wasn't concerned about this, Zhihua frowned and reiterated.

"Oh." Yi Qinghong gently patted Zhihua's back, then said, "She's just joking with you. Blood runs thicker than water; it's not something she can sever just as she wishes."

"You don't understand this child Yaoyao." Zhihua was still worried, and immediately said, "Qinghong, you should release her master first."

"No." Yi Qinghong shook his head, then said, "If we release her now, what if she regrets it later?"

"But..."

"No buts." Before Zhihua could finish, Yi Qinghong interrupted, seemingly realizing the words were harsh, hurriedly said, "Once Yaoyao goes to the Chen Mansion, we will immediately release her master, rest assured, Zhihua."

Upon hearing this, Zhihua could only nod.

...

On Chen Mo's side.

After Gao Zheng selected about a hundred soldiers to serve as guards for the Chen Mansion, Chen Mo took Chun Lan to the Hong Fu Ice Shop to review the accounts.

Bianliang still had plenty of wealthy individuals.

In just over ten days, the profit was more than 300,000 taels of Silver.

Nearly 20,000 taels a day.

Crucially, the cost of making ice was low, with profits exceeding 90%, an astounding figure.

Inside the accounting room, with no one else around, Chen Mo pulled Chun Lan onto his lap.

Chun Lan's body went stiff, her face flushed, murmuring the word "Master."

Although Chun Lan was not yet twenty, her hips were quite pert.

While pinching her hips, Chen Mo said, "Master is busy, and there aren't many people at the Chen Mansion now, so today I brought you to see what businesses the Chen Mansion has, and in the future, when you have time, you can come over and look at the accounts, as this is money."

The reason for bringing Chun Lan.

Was mainly because Chun Lan was managing the Chen Mansion quite well.

Since she was already regarded as his own woman, he temporarily let her handle the accounts.

Chun Lan, blushing, nodded, feeling extremely uneasy due to something pressing against a certain area; having spent a few years in the education bureau, she fully understood.

"Master, please... don't..."

"Good girl, Master heard that you are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting; today, Master will test you to see if it is true."

Chun Lan quickly understood Chen Mo's intention in his words.

Her face instantly turned crimson.

…

After leaving the Hong Fu Ice Shop, as Chen Mo was contemplating how to meet Ye Wanqiu.

He was blocked and told the Crown Prince wanted to see him.

Chen Mo instructed Chun Lan to return first.

...

Taihe Palace.

"State Preceptor, could it be any faster?" Zhao Ji sat cross-legged on a meditation mat, having finished his cultivation for the day, staring at the figure above in a Daoist robe.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the cultivation technique I, a poor Daoist, taught you, cannot be rushed without harming the foundation; this is already the fastest." Lin Su Ya also opened her bright eyes, involuntarily sighed in her heart.

Zhao Ji was too eager for quick success.

A few years ago, to further his strength, he secretly practiced a Daoist classic behind her back.

This Daoist classic was a fast-track cultivation technique without any side effects.

But required a child's body to cultivate.

Although non-virgin bodies could also cultivate, regardless of gender, after cultivation, they could no longer perform sexual acts unless breaking through to become a First Grade Martial Artist.

Later, to break through to First Grade Martial Artist, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money building Genyue.

Of course, Genyue was simply a facade for the public.

In reality, Genyue's layout was a Spirit Gathering Array, and the materials needed were some rare items capable of concentrating True Qi from all over Bianliang to one point, while also purifying itself.

By then, breaking through to a First Grade Martial Artist would be effortless.
