Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

Chapter 706: 789

Although Zhao Qianyi had originally come out with the intention of discussing her matters in the presence of both Chen Mo and Zhao Fujin, she still felt a bit uncomfortable when Chen Mo suddenly pulled her into his arms alongside Zhao Fujin.

So she started to struggle.

Although Zhao Fujin, like Zhao Jiangning, was her niece, Zhao Fujin felt unfamiliar.

After all, when she left the Capital, Zhao Fujin was only four years old.

When she returned to the Capital again, Zhao Fujin had already left the Canglan Continent.

At least when Zhao Jiangning was on the Canglan Continent, she spent some time with her, not having the abruptness of meeting Zhao Fujin now.

After not seeing her for over a decade, if not told by others, she wouldn’t have recognized Zhao Fujin at all.

Zhao Qianyi probably wouldn’t recognize her.

And in reality, Zhao Fujin also did not recognize Zhao Qianyi.

She only recognized the woman standing next to her junior brother just now.

"Junior brother, who is she?" Zhao Fujin furrowed her brows.

"Well, Qianyi, do you want to speak or should I?" Chen Mo held Zhao Qianyi tighter, not letting her break free.

Zhao Qianyi pursed her lips, stopped struggling, and after looking hesitantly at Zhao Fujin who was so close, she said, "I am the Grand Princess Zhao Qianyi."

"Grand Princess?" Zhao Fujin was first taken aback, then widened her eyes and exclaimed in surprise, "Aunt!"

Zhao Qianyi nodded.

"Then Aunt, you and junior brother?" Zhao Fujin became a bit uneasy.

"I...like you, Fujin, I am also...one of his women." After speaking, Zhao Qianyi lowered her head, her face flushed, feeling more nervous than when she faced thousands of troops and horses.

On hearing this, her expression changed, then she frantically broke free from Chen Mo’s embrace, biting her lip, looking shocked at the two of them.

"Senior sister, let me explain this matter to you." Chen Mo reached out, wanting to hold her again.

Zhao Fujin slapped his hand away, saying, "Don’t touch me."

Her eyes were red, and she felt very upset inside.

She had always considered Zhao Qianyi her idol.

Because at that time, Zhao Qianyi was the only female general of the Great Song Dynasty, guarding the Tiger Pass, deterring the Desolate Kingdom from invading, and was a heroic woman.

At that time, she even aspired to be like Zhao Qianyi, to serve the country, lead armies into battle, and uphold justice.

But now, her idol, her aunt, told her that she was also the woman of the person she liked.

How could Zhao Fujin accept this all at once?

And as for Chen Mo’s explanation, Zhao Fujin did not want to hear it at all.

Although she had been away from Chen Mo for years, she knew him well, knowing he was a philanderer, surely using flowery language to seduce the Grand Princess while she was away.

"Fujin, don’t blame him, it’s all my fault." Zhao Qianyi knew this matter had to be resolved sooner or later, so she decided to clear things up once and for all today.

"No, Qianyi, you’re not wrong, it’s all my fault." How could Chen Mo let a woman bear this matter? He started the trouble; of course, he had to bear it himself.

This is also a responsibility that a man should fulfill.

So, Chen Mo recounted the events of that night.

Upon hearing that Chen Mo had ventured alone into the enemy camp, Zhao Fujin’s heart tightened.

When she heard he was unharmed and had rescued the Grand Princess, Zhao Fujin heaved a sigh of relief.

When she heard the Grand Princess got injured, lost her power, and had hugged Chen Mo to fend off the cold together, jealousy rose in Zhao Fujin’s heart again.

After that, it was a man and a woman alone in a room.

Due to the Red Dragon Demon Arm, Chen Mo’s internal Heart Fire was strong, and under an impulse, coupled with Zhao Qianyi’s active cooperation, the two engaged in an intimate relationship.

Once it happened, it was bound to be complicated for Chen Mo.

And so it happened just like that.

Of course, Chen Mo certainly didn’t mention the Red Dragon Demon Arm directly, but described it as a flaw in his cultivation technique.

And Zhao Fujin, after listening, thought it was triggered by the Feather Nirvana Heart Scripture.

Because the Feather Nirvana Heart Scripture indeed causes Heart Fire, if not resolved promptly, it poses a risk of going berserk.

Thus, what Chen Mo said made sense.

Seeing Zhao Fujin’s expression soften a bit, Zhao Qianyi also said, "Don’t blame him; I have responsibilities in this matter too. If I had refused instead of cooperating back then, this wouldn’t have happened today. Later, through getting along, I found myself falling in love with him."

Zhao Qianyi felt that such matters should be shared and borne by both parties.

Zhao Fujin’s expression grew complicated.

Chen Mo wanted to take this opportunity to get closer.

But Zhao Fujin had not yet forgiven him at all.

If this matter was just brushed aside, then what did she count for?

Although indeed, there are reasons behind it.

Compared to Chen Mo being with Zhao Qianyi.

Zhao Fujin would rather not see Chen Mo suffer from Heart Fire and potentially go berserk.

But after all... After all, she was her aunt; how could Zhao Fujin easily let go?

Seeing Zhao Fujin caught in a dilemma, Zhao Qianyi signaled him with her eyes to leave first, allowing her to handle it herself.

Chen Mo, having been with Zhao Qianyi for so long, an old couple so to speak, naturally understood this silent communication between them.

Chen Mo thought about it, and then left first.

After all, with both of them here, it only made it harder for her.

After Chen Mo left, Zhao Qianyi held Zhao Fujin in her arms and asked about her and Chen Mo’s relationship.

...

Returning to the Spirit Stone Mine.

Chen Mo just happened to hear a piercing shout.

"It’s Spirit Marrow Liquid, a rare sight in a thousand years!"

This shout drew all disciples towards the bottom of the mine.

Spirit Marrow Liquid is a miraculous treasure of heaven and earth.

In terms of preciousness, it even surpasses Holy Medicine.

After all, although Holy Medicine is rare, it can be cultivated, meaning it is renewable.

But Spirit Marrow Liquid, once it’s taken, there will be no more.

And a Spirit Stone Mine that has produced Spirit Marrow Liquid will no longer produce it once it’s been extracted.

Thus, for such a rare treasure, all disciples wanted to see its true form.

"So, they’ve discovered Spirit Marrow Liquid..." Chen Mo murmured softly.

According to the simulation...

At this moment in the deep part of the mine.

Zuoqiu Yiren directly knocked on a certain Inner Sect disciple’s head from a distance, lightly reprimanding, "What are you shouting about?"

The disciple was so scared, he lowered his head, embarrassed and speechless.

Then, a surprising scene occurred in front of all the disciples.

Zuoqiu Yiren lightly coughed, saying, "With such a miraculous treasure as Spirit Marrow Liquid, it is safest to have this elder keep it, don’t you all agree?"

Zuoqiu Yiren’s gaze first swept over Long Xiaoyao and Fang Zun.

The two were stunned, knowing full well that Zuoqiu Yiren intended to monopolize the Spirit Marrow Liquid.

Long Xiaoyao was the first to say, "Elder Zuoqiu is both virtuous and strong, it is only right for you to keep it."

Fang Zun, a beat slower, also nodded.

Zuoqiu Yiren then looked at the other disciples.

With both direct disciples nodding, the others dared not dissent and nodded one after another.

Seeing this, Zuoqiu Yiren also nodded in satisfaction, saying, "Since no one has objections, then it’s settled."
