Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

Chen Mo wouldn’t be so foolish. After unsealing her, with her strength as a First Grade Martial Artist, wouldn’t she be free like a fish in the sea or a bird in the sky?

Even if Chen Mo sent out the army, they might not be able to catch her.

”Of course, I could just cripple your cultivation afterward. That would be once and for all, and I wouldn’t need to seal you,” Chen Mo said.

Hearing this, Yue Yuxi glared at him furiously. Crippling her cultivation, how could that even be a request?

”No way, you must unseal me, or I won’t help.”

”Fine, then let Moon Slave be your master.”

”You...”

”I know I’m handsome,” Chen Mo said with a charming smile at Yue Yuxi.

”You dog,” Yue Yuxi fumed.

”You can choose the last request you made. After that, I won’t touch you,” Chen Mo said.

Yue Yuxi rolled her eyes. Without the seal lifted, she would still be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. If Chen Mo’s interest arose, couldn’t he still ravage her at will?

This promise, Yue Yuxi didn’t believe at all. It was something without any guarantee.

”No.” Yue Yuxi said.

”Then what do you want? I’ll tell you, unsealing you is impossible. And I won’t agree to any request involving someone’s death,” Chen Mo said, ”Everything must be reasonable.”

Yue Yuxi glared hard at Chen Mo, thought for a moment, then said, ”Besides reasonable treatment, you must agree to let this king spend a night with Zhao Qianyi.”

”What?” Chen Mo’s eyes widened, not believing his ears.

”Just what you heard,” Yue Yuxi did not emphasize further.

”Are you serious?” Chen Mo felt as if a thousand alpacas galloped through his heart. He never expected Yue Yuxi to make such an ”excessive” request.

Yue Yuxi nodded calmly, ”This king captured her alive because I wanted her to become this king’s woman, wanted to sleep with her. If you don’t agree to this, don’t even think about it. This king is willing to serve Moon Slave.”

Yue Yuxi brushed a strand of golden light behind her ear, a hint of charm flashing in her eyes.

Chen Mo frowned, ”I don’t have the final say on that. Choose something else.”

”Then unseal this king. These are my only requests. If you don’t agree, I won’t help you.”

After speaking, Yue Yuxi taunted Chen Mo, ”Isn’t she your woman? Doesn’t she even listen to you? Are you even a man?”

Chen Mo’s face was filled with black lines, ”What nonsense are you talking about? I’m respecting her.”

”Ha ha,” Yue Yuxi turned away, ”Only if I sleep with her will I help you. Verbal promises are useless.”

”You’re a woman; can’t your sexual orientation be normal? Should I find you a few top beauties instead?”

”No, I only want Zhao Qianyi,” Yue Yuxi said.

”Damn it, you’ve gone too far.” Seeing Yue Yuxi didn’t respond to soft or hard tactics, Chen Mo angrily pressed her fragrant shoulder, forcing her to kneel.

Yue Yuxi surprisingly knelt obediently, seemingly knowing what Chen Mo intended. A seductive smile appeared at her lips, ”If you’re not afraid of losing it, go ahead and try.”

Chen Mo’s actions paused, feeling a chill for no reason, and he dared not gamble.

”You’re ruthless,” Chen Mo left the study angrily.

As she watched Chen Mo’s departing figure, a sly glint flashed in her emerald eyes.

...

Three days later.

”Stop.”

”After twelve years, I finally returned.”

A luxurious carriage stopped outside Bianliang City, Zhao Qianyi lifted the curtain of the window, gazing at the towering city walls of Bianliang City, each brick seemed to evoke her memories.

Zhao Qianyi did not enter Bianliang City with Chen Mo. After repelling the Yellow Turban rebels, she went to Nanyang, following Chen Mo’s instructions, and brought all his women over.

”Princess, these years have been hard on you.” Sitting beside her, Xiao Yunxi held Zhao Qianyi’s rather rough hands. Being peers and not much different in age, she was filled with emotions, sensing Zhao Qianyi’s current mood.

”Queen Sister,” Zhao Qianyi called softly.

Xiao Yunxi shook her head, ”I’m just two years older than you. If you don’t mind, just call me Sister Yunxi.”

”That wouldn’t be right; it’s not proper etiquette,” Zhao Qianyi shook her head.

”It’s because of etiquette that you were sent to the Tiger’s Prison years ago. A woman’s prime years were wasted at the border,” Xiao Yunxi patted Zhao Qianyi’s hand, ”Listen to me, it’s settled then.”

Zhao Qianyi pursed her thin lips and nodded.

”By the way, Qianyi, where will you stay this time?” Xiao Yunxi asked.

”The Princess’s Mansion I guess.” Zhao Qianyi had a residence in the Capital City.

”Sounds good, but you’ve been away from the Capital for so long, and things have changed. The Princess’s Mansion has been abandoned for years, the National Treasury is empty, and no one from the court has been sent to clean it. Moving in immediately would be impossible,” Xiao Yunxi thought for a moment and then said, ”Stay at the Xiao Mansion. After returning to the palace, I’ll have someone clean it, and once it’s ready, you can move in.”

Zhao Qianyi nodded, then sighed, ”The reason no one went to clean isn’t because of an empty treasury, but because no one thought I’d return.”

Sensing the sadness in Zhao Qianyi’s words, Xiao Yunxi was slightly stunned, then shifted the topic, ”Princess...”

”Sister Yunxi, just call me Qianyi.”

”Alright, Qianyi, after spending so many years at the border, have you met any man you like? You’re not getting any younger; it’s time to settle down.” Xiao Yunxi wasn’t aware of Zhao Qianyi and Chen Mo’s relationship.

Zhao Qianyi shook her head and then diverted the conversation, ”By the way, where’s Fujin? I haven’t seen Fujin.”

”Oh, she left Canglan Continent with the State Preceptor, went over there.”

...

Carriages streamed into the city, within, Chen Mo had already dispatched people to await them.

Yi Yao, Luo Zhen, and the others were taken to the Chen Mansion.

Although Xiao Yunxi longed to see Chen Mo, she couldn’t openly go to the Chen Mansion and had to wait for Chen Mo to find her, so she returned to the Imperial Palace.

Zhao Qianyi, intending to go with Xiao Yunxi and her parents to the Xiao Mansion, was retained by Zhao Jiangning to enter the Chen Mansion so the two could have a good chat.

Zhao Qianyi also missed Chen Mo, hesitated for a while, and then agreed.

...

Chen Mansion.

Chen Mo had long prepared a banquet for them to greet and entertain them.

Upon receiving reports from scouts, learning they were coming to the Chen Mansion, he dressed up and went outside to wait.

Soon, one carriage after another arrived, each escorted by four guards, making an impressive sight.

Passersby stopped to watch, seeing one beautiful woman after another alight from the carriages, flinging themselves into the arms of a young man in a white robe outside the main gate.

Chen Mo kissed and embraced each of them, perhaps out of habit, when Zhao Qianyi approached, Chen Mo instinctively pulled her into his arms.
