Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

The Nangong sisters were tidying up their things, while Chen Mo was wandering around the Shenxiao Sect, looking for some items to use as gifts.

Although the Nangong Family was not a major clan, the strongest in the family was only at the Golden Core Realm.

However, locally, it was still one of the three major families, with hundreds or even thousands of people.

Like the multitude of aunts and their children, as the man of the sisters, Chen Mo definitely had to give gifts.

Chen Mo planned to be generous, not only to give the two sisters face but also to show his wealth.

In his previous life, although he had never been married, he had been to his girlfriend’s house.

The first time he went, Chen Mo was inexperienced and unprepared, only bringing some fruit, and having just graduated from college, he didn’t have much money.

He was thoroughly disdained by his girlfriend’s parents.

Now, having transmigrated to a different world.

On the Canglan Continent, because of his origin, he was looked down upon again.

Now in Primordial Heaven, he had made a name for himself and could not be despised again.

Honestly, flaunting in front of a girlfriend’s parents is immensely satisfying.

In his past life, he had no means to show off, but in this life, he should at least do it once properly.

Especially since he had eloped with their two daughters, he had to show some decency.

After packing, the three of them rode the Spiritual Boat towards the Nangong Family.

Zuoqiu Yiren followed along.

But she was hidden in the shadows.

After all, since Chen Mo was returning home with the two women to meet their parents, having Zuoqiu Yiren openly appear with them was not quite suitable.

On the deck of the boat, the two sisters stared in awe at the items Chen Mo took out from his space ornaments, surprised that Chen Mo had prepared gifts for the aunts and their children.

The two sisters were deeply moved, feeling Chen Mo’s sincerity. Nangong Yue said excitedly, ”Husband, there’s no need to prepare so many things; they won’t use it.”

Nangong Yue’s terms of address for Chen Mo shifted back and forth between ”big brother” and ”husband”.

Chen Mo shook his head and said, ”How could that be? You haven’t gone back in over five years, and this time it’s rare to go back; you should let your relatives and friends see how accomplished you are. And as the new son-in-law visiting for the first time, I must make a good impression.”

The two sisters nodded, saying nothing, but their gratitude towards Chen Mo was kept deep in their hearts.

They secretly vowed to take good care of Chen Mo in the future.

The Nangong Family was located in the Central Province of the Beiming Domain, but at the edge of the province.

In these areas, many small families were thriving.

The Nangong Family was situated in Ancient Mountain City on the outskirts, a small city that relied on hunting demon beasts for survival, with its strongest at the late Golden Core Realm.

In this fringe area, it was somewhat of a local hegemon.

When the Spiritual Boat arrived above Ancient Mountain City, it caused a sensation.

Although the city was small, the inhabitants had seen flying magical treasures like the Spiritual Boat.

It’s not that the Spiritual Boat was extraordinarily expensive, but because it required spirit stones to fly, it was beyond the means of those without substantial resources.

At least, no one in Ancient Mountain City could afford one.

The bagua patterns on the Spiritual Boat were particularly eye-catching, indicating to everyone which sect the boat belonged to.

”It’s the Daoist Alliance’s Spiritual Boat!”

”Why has the Daoist Alliance’s Spiritual Boat come to our Ancient Mountain City?”

”Look, the Spiritual Boat is heading towards the Nangong Family.”

”Could it be that the Nangong Family’s two young ladies have become disciples of the Daoist Alliance?”

”How could that be? I heard the Nangong Family’s two young ladies joined the Shenxiao Sect. It’s only been a few years; how could they have joined the Daoist Alliance? Moreover, to join the Daoist Alliance, you need to be at least at the Golden Core Realm, and the young ladies aren’t that old.”

...

Everyone discussed animatedly.

Shenxiao Sect was a top-tier power in the Beiming Domain.

Though not comparable to the ten immortal dao sects, to the people of Ancient Mountain City, it remained unattainably high. When the Nangong sisters passed the Shenxiao Sect’s assessments and became outer sect disciples, it caused a stir in Ancient Mountain City.

Ancient Mountain City was led by the Nangong Family, Li Family, and Ren Family.

The three major families divided nearly 90% of the resources in the city.

The Nangong Family was currently holding a funeral.

Nangong Jian was an elder of the Nangong Family, a Golden Core Realm expert, and had considerable prestige in Ancient Mountain City.

Therefore, the high-ranking members of the three families attended his funeral.

But with the appearance of the Daoist Alliance’s Spiritual Boat in the sky, everyone was drawn to it.

Especially as the boat moved towards the Nangong Family, everyone’s expressions changed.

As the patriarch of the Nangong Family, Nangong Song’s brow furrowed.

The Nangong Family had no relations with the Daoist Alliance, nor were there any clan members who joined the Daoist Alliance.

Thus, seeing the Spiritual Boat flying over, Nangong Song feared it was trouble rather than a blessing.

The Ren Family and Li Family were hoping for misfortune to befall the Nangong Family.

Before Nangong Xue and Nangong Yue became disciples of the Shenxiao Sect, the three families were in a stalemate in Ancient Mountain City.

But after the sisters joined the Shenxiao Sect, the situation reversed.

The influence of the Nangong Family gradually expanded.

The Ren Family and Li Family were always worried about being annexed by the Nangong Family.

With the Nangong sisters joining the Shenxiao Sect, the two families didn’t even dare to confront the Nangong Family anymore.

It was incredibly frustrating for them.

Because none of their family disciples were able to join a large force like the Shenxiao Sect.

As the Spiritual Boat slowly descended.

When everyone looked at the people standing on the Spiritual Boat.

The hearts of the Ren Family and Li Family sank involuntarily.
