Chapter 84: 84 System Update (Requesting Subscriptions! Requesting Monthly Tickets!)

After "escaping" from the Shenxiao Temple.

Zhao Fujin leaned against a wall, her face flushed, her heart pounding like a drum at dusk, and she subconsciously touched her fragrant lips with her fingers.

Did I... did I just kiss someone?

And it was a... eunuch.

My first kiss.

Zhao Fujin’s thoughts were in disarray, but there wasn’t any strong sense of rejection in her heart; she only kept thinking, if only he weren’t a eunuch.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft..."

She felt like she wouldn’t get a good night’s sleep tonight.

...

As for Chen Mo, he seemed to have forgotten that incident and shamelessly started the simulation.

Because he read in novels that kissing a beautiful girl should be fragrant and sweet, but Chen Mo didn’t feel any sweetness...

It was just very... soft...

...

[Day Thirty: Huangfu Hao was again attacked, but thanks to your warning and ambush, you captured the assassin alive. However, the assassin bit the poison sac hidden in his mouth and committed suicide.]

[Day Thirty-One: A sudden screening started in the harem, and you luckily avoided it, but the Empress discovered your fake eunuch identity. However, she was already fond of you and did not expose you.

You felt the palace was unsafe, so you left and went to the Guard Infantry Department.]

...

[Day Thirty-Five: You informed Xiao Yunqi that the Emperor was about to break through to the First Grade. Xiao Yunqi then wanted to overthrow the Emperor and let Crown Prince Zhao Chong ascend the throne. You stopped him and told him to plan carefully and not act impulsively.]

[Day Thirty-Six: You left the Guard Infantry Department intending to find Luo Zhen, but you were attacked on the street. Luckily you were prepared, successfully evaded the assassination attempt, and escaped back to the Guard Infantry Department.

That evening, you learned that when Huangfu Hao returned to the Huangfu Family, he was again attacked and killed.]

[Day Thirty-Seven: You suspected the Emperor was involved in the assassinations, so you told Xiao Yunqi, who immediately contacted the Huangfu Family, intending to bring them in to overthrow the Emperor.]

[Day Forty-Five: With your exceptional cultivation talent and abundant cultivation resources, you broke through to a Second-Grade Martial Artist.]

[Day Forty-Six: Knowing that when the Emperor broke through to the First Grade master, it would mean your end, you planned to act in advance. After many days of planning, you quietly killed Wang Ze and mobilized the Guard Infantry Department’s army to invade the Imperial Palace.

You, Xiao Yunqi, and the Huangfu Family’s First Grade master Huangfu Yuntian, along with eight Second-Grade masters, headed straight for Taihe Palace. You encountered resistance from three First Grade masters.

While Xiao Yunqi and Huangfu Yuntian led people to hold off these three First Grade masters, you and the eight Second-Grade masters stormed into Taihe Palace.

You initially wanted to interrogate the Emperor about whether he sent the assassin, but after the Emperor angrily called you traitors, he escaped the Imperial Palace with the help of the Heirloom Seal of the Realm and the guards from the East and West Inner Palaces.]

[Day Forty-Seven: Knowing the seriousness of Zhao Ji’s escape, you made Zhao Chong ascend the throne as Emperor that day, changing the era name to Renxuan.

That evening, Noble Consort Hu came to you, wanting to work with you, revealing that she was of the Nan Zhou Imperial Family’s bloodline and that the Black Shadow Killer Organization was theirs. The Yellow Turban Rebellion was also instigated by them. She promised that if you assisted her in restoring her country, they could help you deal with the consequences of Zhao Chong’s ascension.

You agreed, but Xiao Yunqi refused.]

[Day Fifty: Zhao Ji broke through to a First Grade master and led the loyalist army to storm the Imperial Palace, resulting in Xiao Yunqi’s death.

Knowing Xiao Yunqi was unreliable beforehand, you took Empress, Consort Jing, and Luo Zhen to leave Bianliang.

You initially wanted to take Zhao Fujin with you, but because of your treacherous actions and attempt to kill her father, you broke her heart, and she refused to go with you.]

...

[Day Sixty-Five: Upon learning of Xiao Yunqi’s death, the execution of the entire Xiao Family, Zhao Chong’s deposition, and Zhao Fujin being sent for a political marriage, Xiao Yunxi, in despair, left a suicide note and jumped off a cliff to her death.]

[Day Seventy: Fulfilling Xiao Yunxi’s dying wish, you intercepted and kidnapped Zhao Fujin on the way to her political marriage.

Upon seeing you again, Zhao Fujin expressed deep regret for underestimating Zhao Ji’s actions, admitting she was wrong and asking for your forgiveness.]

[Day Seventy-Five: News of Zhao Fujin’s abduction reached Zhao Ji and the Desolate Kingdom, both enraged, dispatched numerous First Grade masters to hunt you down.

By then, you were already on your way to the Western Regions.]

[Day Eighty: Ultimately, you couldn’t escape the pursuit and perished.]

[This Immortal Cultivation Simulator session has ended. You may permanently retain one Immortal Cultivation Talent and solidify it into the real world.]

[Immortal Cultivation Simulator session ended, duration was eighty days. Cooldown time is 800 minutes.]

[Ding! The cooldown period has ended, and the system will be updated to version 2.0, expected to be completed within twenty-four hours by tomorrow. Please anticipate.]

Simulation ends.

Chen Mo showed little reaction.

He was already numb.

It’s too hard.

On the fiftieth day, Zhao Ji broke through to a First Grade master, and he was destined to die.

Fifty days later, he was meant to be chased and killed again.

And then there was the matter of Zhao Fujin.

After all, Zhao Ji is her biological father...

Chen Mo’s head was buzzing.

However, he was quite certain that the plot to assassinate him and Huangfu Hao was likely ordered by the Emperor.

The reason for targeting him was because he thwarted the assassination attempt on Huangfu Hao.

Then why was Huangfu Hao targeted?

Threatened the monarch with his accomplishments?

Just reclaiming one Nanyang County doesn’t seem sufficient for that, does it?

Nonetheless, the assassination attempt on Huangfu Hao was something he had to prevent.

Because regardless of whether the attempt was thwarted, when the Emperor broke through to a First Grade master, he was still going to die.

Might as well stir up some trouble.

But when preventing the assassination, he should avoid exposing himself, using other means to stop it.

This way, he wouldn’t be exposed on the surface and targeted for assassination.

As for Xiao Yunqi, with his soldiers and power, he was undoubtedly a traitor at heart.

He’s also power-hungry.

Noble Consort Hu didn’t help him early on, and when she came to collaborate later, he refused directly.

If he had agreed, at least on the day Zhao Ji broke through to a First Grade master, he wouldn’t have attacked straight away.

Because in his simulation where he became Emperor, cooperating with Noble Consort Hu, Zhao Ji didn’t attack on the fiftieth day.

After summarizing various issues from this simulation.

Chen Mo focused on the system update.

It’s expected to be updated to version 2.0 within twenty-four hours by tomorrow.

Chen Mo looked expectant.

He hoped the updated system would offer some solutions.

...

Meanwhile.

In Jingru Palace.

The floor of the inner chamber was lined with fabric, covered in various spices.

Ye Wanqiu sniffed each one carefully, selecting them one by one.

"Madam, it’s getting late, you should rest," Qing Shuang walked in and remarked upon seeing Ye Wanqiu still selecting spices, "He’s just a servant, any one of these will work."
