Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace-Chapter 249 - 248 Handling Cases

Chen Mo frowned: "Stay outside? What if you run away?"

Hearing this, Jiang Ruoqing also furrowed her brows and said, "I pledge my honor, I absolutely... absolutely won't."

She said the latter part softly, because she remembered her honor was already gone...

Thinking of this, her expression turned fierce, and she said, "If it really doesn't work, just go ahead."

After saying this, she closed her eyes, looking as if she was ready to be plucked.

This action inexplicably reminded Chen Mo of Yi Yao.

Even though her body was trembling badly, she still looked fearless.

Jiang Ruoqing clearly felt Chen Mo step forward, his breath brushing against her hair.

Her body involuntarily retreated.

At that moment, she felt her waist being restrained by him, and then the hand holding her waist moved to her hip.

Jiang Ruoqing suddenly felt like she was shocked, her heart in a frenzy.

Just when she thought he would act like a beast, tearing off her clothes and throwing her on the bed to vent.

Chen Mo actually let her go.

Aware that the imagined scene wasn't happening, Jiang Ruoqing slowly opened her eyes, only to see Chen Mo raising an eyebrow with a hint of teasing as he smiled and said, "Alright, I'll trust you this time.

As for you, I still have matters to attend to today, I will grace you with my presence another day."

Jiang Ruoqing's face was full of embarrassment, then she bit her lip and said, "Then... where will you arrange for me? I... I need to move out tonight."

She could no longer take it.

"There's a house at the end of the South Alley on Southeast Avenue, granted by Your Majesty. It's been vacant, you can stay there." Chen Mo thought for a moment and said.

"Granted by Your Majesty..."

Jiang Ruoqing raised an eyebrow, realizing indeed his status was not low, then she coldly said, "Since I've agreed, can you now tell me who you are?"

"Chen... Mo." Chen Mo thought for a moment and said, "As for my specific identity, I'll tell you once you tell me yours."

After all, for now, Chen Mo only knew Jiang Ruoqing's name.

Jiang Ruoqing narrowed her eyes, not asking further.

But she did not plan to let it go.

This house is big, just a bit of inquiry, and she can find out.

...

Tonight during cultivation, Lin Su Ya actually assigned Zhao Fujin a task:

"Fujin, I've taught you almost everything I should, the young eagle will eventually soar alone, it's time for you to experience real combat and accumulate battle experience."

Zhao Fujin didn't quite understand and asked, "Master, what do you mean?"

"In Shuiming County near Bianliang, there's an evil spirit causing trouble and has committed several massacres. Since the evil spirit's power is around the Fourth Grade, the local county government office is powerless, hence they reported up..."

Lin Su Ya spoke calmly, then said, "Originally this case was managed by the Imperial City Department, but I took it over. Fujin, I'm handing it to you."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Fujin exclaimed, a bit surprised and flustered, "Master, how can I handle a case?"

"I'm not asking you to investigate, just to take the local county officials and capture the evil spirit. Fujin, you have also broken through to Fourth Grade Martial Artist, you can use this evil spirit to practice." Lin Su Ya said.

Seeing Lin Su Ya say this, Zhao Fujin breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "Master, no problem."

But then she remembered another thing.

If it's handling a case, doesn't that mean she can leave the palace...

Zhao Fujin looked at Chen Mo with excitement.

Chen Mo understood, bowed to Lin Su Ya, and said, "State Preceptor, Your Highness has just reached the Fourth Grade Martial Artist, and her practical experience is insufficient. Facing a Fourth Grade evil spirit, it may be dangerous, so I request permission to accompany her."

Hearing this, Lin Su Ya gave Chen Mo a deep look, then turned her gaze to Zhao Fujin, whose face turned slightly red and quickly avoided Lin Su Ya's gaze.

"Very well." Lin Su Ya nodded, "You only need to ensure Fujin's safety. As for capturing the evil spirit, let her handle it herself; she hasn't practiced on the battlefield like you, and needs combat experience."

Chen Mo nodded.

After Lin Su Ya left, Zhao Fujin immediately hugged Chen Mo's arm, softly saying, "Junior, I knew you were the best to me."

After saying this, Zhao Fujin looked like she was expecting a kiss from Chen Mo.

Even though it's been less than three days since Chen Mo confessed to her.

But the relationship between the two was already full of affection.

Light kisses, deep kisses, and even...

They had tried everything.

If it wasn't to avoid being noticed by others, Chen Mo would have planted a hickey on Zhao Fujin's neck.

After a passionate kiss, Chen Mo released Zhao Fujin and said, "Alright, senior sister, it's time to cultivate."

Zhao Fujin's cheeks were flushed, and she felt she was somewhat addicted to kissing, then she whispered, "Junior, just one more kiss."

After saying this, she pouted.

Chen Mo had no choice but to kiss her again.

But he discovered, Zhao Fujin actually took the initiative to offer...

At that moment, Chen Mo's eyes widened a bit.

When did this girl become so bold?

Lips parted.

Zhao Fujin still snuggled against Chen Mo's chest, saying, "Junior, did you offend elder sister somehow?"

"Why do you say that?" Chen Mo was puzzled.

"Well, elder sister came to the palace yesterday to find me, then she said you are... a lecher, keeping several maidservants in the residence to serve you, telling me to stay away from you, saying you're not a good person." As she spoke, Zhao Fujin was staring intently at Chen Mo's eyes.

Hearing this, Chen Mo felt a pang in his heart, realizing there was more to her words.

Grabbing Zhao Fujin's hand, Chen Mo said sincerely, "Senior sister, do you trust me?"

Feeling Chen Mo's burning gaze, Zhao Fujin shyly said, "Of course I trust you."

"That's good, actually those maidservants were sent by the Grand Commandant. It's his gesture, and since he promoted me, I couldn't refuse. Besides, senior sister, you're the woman I have set my heart on; how could they compare to you?" Chen Mo made a lousy excuse.

Hearing Chen Mo's explanation, Zhao Fujin's initial jealousy vanished instantly, then she said, "I knew elder sister misunderstood you."

"Actually, it's not entirely Prince De Ning's fault for misunderstanding. After all, when I healed her, close contact was inevitable. It must have been during yesterday's treatment that she misunderstood..." Chen Mo explained.

Hearing Chen Mo even explaining for her elder sister, Zhao Fujin was quite touched.

After all, one is her beloved.

The other is her elder sister.

She didn't want any misunderstanding between them, then she said, "Junior, you're really nice."

After saying this, she whispered something into his ear with a flushed face.

Saying something that could make Chen Mo feel like a baby again.
