Chapter 341: Chapter 152: Consort Yu’s Remote Switch! Chen Mo: "Oh no, I’ve become the Sect Treasure?"_2
But since last night, things have seemed a bit off. Not only has the Primordial Qi inexplicably decreased, but there have also been slight fluctuations in the Daoist Charm... These are secondary, the key issue is the wave upon wave of impact from the red silk, directly breaking down her psychological defense!
For an entire night, she’s lost count of how many times!
"That dog-like lackey clearly isn’t here, so why is this happening?"
Yu Youhan bit her lip, her expression full of confusion.
Suddenly, a familiar sensation struck again. Her heart trembled, tightly clamping the pillow between her legs, her body shivering violently.
"Is it ever going to end!"
"I, I really don’t want it anymore!"
...
...
By the afternoon, Chen Mo finally walked out of the Imperial Music Bureau.
Though not exactly weary in spirit, his steps were somewhat unsteady.
The Saintess Gu, who had achieved Mastery in physical conditioning, had an astonishing degree of control, practically enchanting and bone-melting in nature, paired with another peculiar attribute...
"Truly a worthy opponent!"
Chen Mo shook his head in admiration.
He had an appointment with Li Siya today, needing to visit the Demon Suppression Department, and couldn’t be bothered to run back to the Government office.
After all, skipping half a day or a whole day of work made no difference.
Having busied himself for a day and a night, Master Chen was famished, so he found a nearby restaurant, ordered a table full of food and drink, and sat by the second-floor window, indulging himself.
The Yin Cha Qi within his body naturally circulated, continuously nourishing his flesh and Divine Soul.
It’s estimated it would take about three days to fully absorb this strand of Yin Cha Qi, and then proceed to the second round of Dual Cultivation. Saintess Gu timed it perfectly, wasting not a single day.
["Gu Manzhi" Favorability Rating increased.]
[Current progress: 88/100 (Unwavering Loyalty).]
[Favorability rating threshold reached, unlocking third-phase reward.]
[Obtained special item: Dao Essence Crystal*2.]
[Obtained high-level talisman: Five Elements Escape Talisman*3.]
[Obtained rare item: Creation Gold Contract (second class).]
Suddenly, a string of prompt text flashed before his eyes, leaving Chen Mo momentarily stunned.
This time, not only did he gain the physical benefits of the Saintess Gu, obtaining the Yin Cha Qi, but now the favorability rewards were also overflowing... inexplicably giving him a sense of both eating and taking.
Thinking carefully, Gu Manzhi had helped him many times, yet never asked for anything in return. Even the promised Azure Darkness Seal had not been fulfilled to date, and she hadn’t brought it up once.
It seemed she was concerned about him being caught in the middle, in a dilemma.
The hardest debt to repay is the kindness of a beauty.
"If I could just get the Azure Darkness Seal, it would help her report back to the sect."
Chen Mo had long considered this, but didn’t know how to broach the subject with the Empress...
If the Empress were to find out about their relationship, the trouble would likely increase...
While he was deep in thought, his gaze inadvertently swept outside the window, and his brows furrowed.
On the street, a figure passed by, looking quite unfamiliar, yet their aura felt somewhat familiar...
"Is that..."
...
Jinxiu Workshop.
"I’ll take all of these, how much Silver altogether?"
A young gentleman in white, holding a dozen pieces of underwear, piled them onto the counter.
The shop owner wore a somewhat peculiar expression.
This gentleman had been visiting continuously for over half a month, purchasing various colors and styles, asking each day if there were new arrivals.
Initially, she thought he was sent by another women’s clothing shop, intending to copy their products.
But seeing him repeatedly measure a pair of small triangle pants against himself, with an excited smile, she finally concluded... he was simply a pure pervert!
"Ninety taels, please."
"Keep the change."
The man tossed a silver note with a hundred taels face value and left eagerly with the underwear.
The shop owner put away the silver note, silently hoping for more such perverts to come...
The young man in white, carrying the paper bag, walked lightly across the street. As he entered an alley, suddenly a clear male voice called out from behind:
"Yu Hongyin?"
?!
The man in white froze suddenly, and the paper bag in his hand fell to the ground with a "snap."
Slowly turning his head, he saw Chen Mo leaning against the wall, waving a greeting, "Long time no see... You seem to enjoy dressing as a man?"
The man in white swallowed with difficulty.
"You’ve mistaken me!"
He turned and bolted, his figure quickly becoming ethereal, speeding swiftly away.
However, just as she ran two zhang away, her movements suddenly slowed, as if she were stuck in a mire.
Chen Mo walked up to her casually, eyes flickering with a purple-golden light, raising an eyebrow and said, "Why did you run when you saw me? Guilty conscience?"
Yu Hongyin knew she couldn’t hide it, so she didn’t bother to pretend anymore, stubbornly saying, "You’re the thief! I’m just out buying some underwear, which rule have I violated? What right do you have to arrest me?"
"Who said I was going to arrest you?"
Chen Mo rubbed his chin with his fingers, puzzled, "I’m just curious, the Heavenly Element Martial Examination ended so long ago, and all the disciples have returned, why are you still in the city?"
Yu Hongyin with a stern face, replied coldly, "I like it, is it any of your business? My legs are on my body, I can go wherever I want, what’s it got to do with you?"
Despite her tough attitude, she was actually feeling quite anxious inside.
Chen Mo is domineering and unreasonable, with absurdly strong power... besides, this is his turf, if he really wanted to do something to her, she might not even have room to resist!
Thinking about the scene she witnessed in the Secret Realm...
This guy is a real lecher!
"That’s reasonable."
Chen Mo released the pupil skill, saying, "Then you can go."
?
Yu Hongyin was momentarily stunned, somewhat disbelievingly asking, "You’re just letting me go like that?"
"What else? You want me to treat you to a meal?"
"..."
Judging by his stingy nature, she should be fleeced, why did he suddenly show kindness?
Yu Hongyin closely observed him for a few moments, seeing no change in his expression, she finally left the alley, looking back every few steps.
Back on the main street, she formed a spell with her hand, rapidly transforming into a pot-bellied fat man, blending into the crowd.
She changed appearances three times along the way, passed through two blocks, and after weaving through the streets for an hour, confirming Chen Mo wasn’t following, she finally arrived in front of a residential house in a deep alley.
Knock—knock knock—
She raised her hand, rhythmically knocking on the door.
Creak—
The door opened on its own, she lifted her foot and walked into the courtyard.
Passing through the courtyard, she entered the main house, finally relaxing her tense nerves.
"Saintess, why did you take so long to come back?" the little maid asked somewhat puzzled.
"Nothing, just got delayed picking out clothes..."
Yu Hongyin didn’t mention "running into" Chen Mo.
Otherwise, it would be harder to go out shopping in the future...
The little maid shook her head, saying, "You’ve bought so much underwear, can you wear them all? Besides, we’re here in Tiandu City with a task, be careful not to delay the main business."
"Alright, I know what I’m doing."
Yu Hongyin waved her hand, changing the subject, "Any news from the sect?"
"The government wants to establish a new course at the Imperial College called ’Jianghu Ethics’, intended for the direct disciples of sects to study, basically it’s brainwashing..." the little maid shook her head, "The Sect Master didn’t want to care, but heard about a branch of the Gu God Sect being annihilated, the situation is somewhat tense, so he’s considering his options."
?!
Yu Hongyin was a bit surprised upon hearing this.
The Gu God Sect is one of the Eight Great Sects, each branch has a Grandmaster guarding it, quite notable in strength, and usually very secretive, how could it just be wiped out?
"What happened?"
"Not sure exactly, but apparently it has something to do with the newly appointed Martial Arts Champion Chen Mo..."
"..."
Recalling that handsome face, Yu Hongyin felt a chill in her heart, silently labeling him as "extremely dangerous."
"What about Bai Lingchuan’s side, what’s the news?"
"Still pursuing, roughly locked onto Fu Li’s location, probably hiding near Tiannan State, almost ready to close the net..."
At this moment, the little maid noticed something, puzzled, "Saintess, weren’t you out buying clothes, why did you come back empty-handed?"
"Hmm?"
Yu Hongyin then realized, she fled too hastily and seemed to have left her things in the alley.
Knock knock knock—
Suddenly, the door was knocked on.
The two exchanged glances, eyebrows tightly knitted.
Being this close without detection, the array in the courtyard wasn’t triggered either... must be an expert!
"Who is it?"
Yu Hongyin waved her sleeve, opening the door remotely.
Only to see a tall figure in black robes standing at the door, holding a paper bag and smilingly said, "You left in such a hurry earlier, you dropped this."
Yu Hongyin: "..."
...
