Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

Chapter 37: 37 Following the Prime Minister’s aspirations, pressing forward without hesitation

”Hmm?”

Chen Mo crawled on the ground for quite a while, stunned.

Again?

To be honest, when holding the sword, Chen Mo suddenly recalled the Sword Intent he had comprehended from the statue of the Grand Ancestor during the previous dynasty, and under Xiao Yunxi’s repeated pressure, he finally used it.

Originally, it was supposed to land on Xiao Yunxi’s chest, but Chen Mo changed the trajectory at the last moment, slapping her on the buttocks instead.

He thought he would be in deep trouble.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yunxi wanted him to do it again.

”Why are you standing there? Didn’t you hear me?”

Xiao Yunxi also held back for a while, before suppressing the pain coming from her back.

It’s probably all red and swollen.

Her skin is delicate and tender, naturally unable to withstand such force.

Xiao Yunxi quietly opened an acupoint; she had just been taken advantage of, and although she didn’t say it out loud, she wanted to regain control, show Chen Mo some strength, or how else could she govern the harem?

With that said, she pushed off fiercely with her foot, and with a flick of her longsword, a flurry of sword flowers lifted up, landing in front of Chen Mo and thrusting towards the still crawling Chen Mo.

Chen Mo sensed the cold gleam approaching, his palm slammed into the longsword in front of him, sending it flying.

Grabbing the sword hilt sharply, Chen Mo drew the longsword, a cold gleam suddenly flashing, then his body arched backward as he raised the longsword for a block.

”Clang!”

The twin swords struck against each other, sparks flying.

Xiao Yunxi’s body swept over Chen Mo.

The hem of her skirt brushed across Chen Mo’s face, carrying a faint fragrance.

White...

Something flashed in front of Chen Mo’s eyes.

Chen Mo had no time for idle thoughts.

After her feet touched the ground, Xiao Yunxi’s body leaned back, like a drawn bow, lunging her longsword towards Chen Mo’s face.

”What a flexible waist...”

Chen Mo marveled inwardly but reacted swiftly, dodging down directly.

In that instant of evasion, his legs exerted force, sliding out.

Retreating out of Xiao Yunxi’s attack range, Chen Mo’s left hand lunged forward like a snake, striking with the sword sheath towards Xiao Yunxi’s face.

However, this time, Chen Mo didn’t dare really hit her.

Stopping abruptly an inch from Xiao Yunxi’s face.

Because Xiao Yunxi’s body was already bowed like a bow, relying solely on her feet for support, with no force from her legs reaching her feet.

Though the sword sheath didn’t strike her face.

The mere scare from the sword sheath made her feet unable to support, falling to the ground directly.

Chen Mo was startled.

The ground was hard and firm, and Xiao Yunxi’s back was nearly a meter off the ground, if she hit it with a bang...

She would surely get a bump...

”Watch out, madam...”

Chen Mo dropped the longsword sheath and leaped forward.

Finally, just before Xiao Yunxi was about to hit the ground.

He caught her in his arms.

For a moment, both were stupefied.

Chen Mo felt the plushness of the delicate body in his arms.

Soft and boneless, just as it is.

In that instant, it stirred a strong urge in Chen Mo to bully her relentlessly...

The dim candlelight illuminated Chen Mo’s face, Xiao Yunxi gazed at the face as splendid as jade, and for a moment, it evoked the eagerness of her youthful heart.

That belongs to a young girl’s affection and longing.

But ever since entering the palace.

All of this became smoke and dispersed.

A son and a daughter also bound her in this deep palace.

Using long nails, pinned her here.

”Madam, are you... okay?” Suppressing the ripples in his heart, Chen Mo slowly lowered her and released her, though reluctant, knowing this woman before him wasn’t something he could possess yet.

Reciting the Clear Heart Technique silently, Chen Mo’s eyes regained clarity.

Xiao Yunxi also came back to her senses at this moment.

Seeing the eunuch’s uniform on Chen Mo, she couldn’t help but feel relieved, her children were so big, what’s she thinking?

She swept sweat-soaked hair behind her ear, tidied up slightly, frowned, and looked at Chen Mo: ”Eighth Grade?”

She had suffered from someone of the Eighth Grade.

Therefore, Xiao Yunxi couldn’t help but suspect Chen Mo was an Eighth Grade.

Chen Mo knew there was no way to hide it, nodding.

He had plans in mind.

In the initial simulation, Xiao Yunxi knew he reached Eighth Grade and extracted his talents.

But later, in the simulation after acquiring the Emperor’s Divine Sealing Skill, Xiao Yunxi didn’t extract his talents.

Instead, she was conquered by him.

This forced him to suspect that due to his changes, events had undergone earth-shattering transformations.

And in the simulation, the Emperor and Xiao Yunxi became estranged.

If he acted according to this simulation.

At the pivotal moment, around forty days after the great tumult, he initiated changes to reverse the situation.

Could he win the beauty’s favor?

Chen Mo admitted, embracing Xiao Yunxi then, a surge of greed consumed him, leading to such thoughts.

Die under the peony flower, and remain carefree even as a ghost.

Living a second life, obtaining the simulator, if not impulsive once, wouldn’t this cautious and timid behavior be disgraceful?

Therefore, Chen Mo decided.

He would inherit the Prime Minister’s ambition, moving forward unwaveringly.

He’d gamble!

Seeing Chen Mo nod.

Xiao Yunxi was astonished.

It had been less than five days since she passed him the Feather Nirvana Heart Scripture.

He leapt from an ordinary person to an Eighth Grade Martial Artist.

Chong’Er said his aptitudes weren’t bad.

But is this simply having decent aptitudes?

He could be described as a genius.

Luckily, Chong’Er let him be controlled with the Feather Nirvana Heart Scripture.

Otherwise, once his strength grew.

He would be quite uncontrollable.

Xiao Yunxi’s face lit up with a smile.

With the ability to control Chen Mo, she naturally hoped his strength could be higher.

”Perhaps, when he matures, he might be a significant help to Chong’Er...”

Thinking of Chong’Er, Xiao Yunxi’s face flashed with some worry.

Although Chong’Er was named the Crown Prince, it was merely for his father’s sake; actually, Your Majesty did not desire Chong’Er as the Crown Prince.

After naming Chong’Er as Crown Prince, Your Majesty provided no assistance, the Crown Prince’s power is lesser than that of his several brothers.

Due to this, her father grew disheartened with Your Majesty.

Yet she couldn’t discuss with Your Majesty.

Her status was too sensitive.

Seeing Xiao Yunxi silent.

Chen Mo thought she was guessing the reasons behind his rapid breakthrough.

So he said, ”Madam, the reason this servant could break through to Eighth Grade Martial Artist is thanks to your and His Highness’s Nourishing Essence Pill, otherwise, this servant wouldn’t know how long it would take to reach Eighth Grade.”

Truth is, Chen Mo sensed.

He’s set to reach Seventh Grade Martial Artist tonight.

Xiao Yunxi pursed her lips without speaking.

Disbelieving Chen Mo completely.

Though Nourishing Essence Pill had effects, its effect wasn’t so profound.

Two bottles couldn’t span the gap from Ninth Grade to Eighth Grade in such a short time.

It mostly relied on his own capabilities.

Yet Xiao Yunxi didn’t wish to pry too deeply, fearing to rouse Chen Mo’s dissatisfaction.

After all, she could control Chen Mo.

No need to worry about him escaping her grasp.
