Chapter 568 - 654 ability has also improved.
The so-called "killing the chicken to scare the monkey," since they want to make an example of these nobles, they need to pick a high-level noble without real power and with little influence, and clearly, King Mu is the one.
Additionally, based on the investigation by the Mo Bingtai, King Mu seems to have connections with King Yan of Youzhou, but since no concrete evidence is in hand, Chen Mo has not acted against King Mu.
Zhao Jiangning wore a black palace dress; since she was in the inner residence, her dressing was more revealing, the neckline was low, revealing the moon-white bellyband inside, paired with her flawless collarbone, showing a hint of allure.
She affectionately held Chen Mo’s arm: "I am not really pleading on his behalf, just telling you about the matter."
"I understand, but since you are relatives, seeing each other often, you just tell him you have advised me, but I didn’t listen to you." Chen Mo slightly lowered his head and gently kissed Zhao Jiangning’s rosy lips.
Zhao Jiangning nodded, holding Chen Mo’s arm with her right hand, gently stroking his chest with her left hand, her face flushed, with eyes filled with seductive allure, she teasingly said, "Master, since you’ve finished your training, how about taking a break and let me serve you well."
The inner residence had many women, and since Chen Mo came back, he hadn’t gone around to favor them but was busy with his tasks while training.
Training had been delayed for so long, and now with the Nine Thunder Profound Celestial Spear, he didn’t need to worry about training, so Chen Mo naturally wanted to enhance his strength first.
This, of course, also led to neglecting Zhao Jiangning and the others.
And Zhao Jiangning’s body was extremely sensitive, her endurance was fine when he wasn’t around, but with him around, almost staying in the inner residence all day, seeing him anytime, how could Zhao Jiangning endure.
Feeling Zhao Jiangning’s beautiful legs rubbing against his, Chen Mo could no longer endure, dropped the spear in his hand, and lifted Zhao Jiangning, heading toward the room.
After a bout of tenderness, Chen Mo opened the curtains, looking at the already dark sky outside, he couldn’t help but sigh; he originally planned to study the True Explanation of the Minor Profound Technique, but ended up studying on a beauty all day.
Indeed, a gentle village is a hero’s grave, making one indulged and hard to extricate.
Forget it, better to serve them all once, and then go into seclusion for training.
Chen Mo moved the jade-like hands and beautiful legs off him, got up to dress, took paper and pen, and wrote the herbs needed for the early stage of cultivating the True Explanation of the Minor Profound Technique, then left the room, called Chun Lan, asking her to collect them, and headed towards Luo Zhen’s room.
Since he decided to serve them first, Chen Mo also wanted to test if after breaking through to Foundation Establishment, his waist had strengthened, and whether it could endure one round...
...
Time passed in a blink, two days went by.
In these two days, Chen Mo didn’t attend the morning court, just stayed in the inner residence, exploring the differences between men and women with Zhen’Er, Yaoyao, and the others.
Additionally, he didn’t forget to practice, relying on the Phoenix Qi, the dual cultivation in these two days also increased considerably.
The slight pity was among the women around Chen Mo, only Yunxi had a furnace body type, the others did not, so the progress in dual cultivation was not significant.
But dual cultivating with Yunxi, although the growth was slow, he could clearly feel the progress.
After breaking through the Foundation Establishment Realm, the body’s constitution indeed enhanced significantly.
If it were before, such high-intensity work would have made him unable to walk without supporting his waist.
Though now still very tired, there was no sense of being entirely exhausted.
Chen Mo planned to start seclusion from now on but suddenly remembered he had forgotten someone.
Since returning, except for letting someone give her the letter from the Jin family, he hadn’t gone to see her.
"Pa!" Chen Mo couldn’t help giving himself a slap.
Scum! Scum! She follows you without asking for status, and you even forgot her.
Though the Princess is not the clingy type, you haven’t gone to see her since coming back almost a week, which would even anger a wooden stick.
...
Chen Mo bathed, changed into a new robe, lifted his sleeve to smell, ensuring no scent of other women, then came to the study, wrote down the first form of the Profound Celestial Dragon, and tucked it in his bosom.
Lastly, he selected a piece of beautiful jade from the treasures brought back, then quickly headed to the Princess’s Mansion.
...
Outside the Princess’s Mansion, the traffic was sparse; it was located in a relatively remote place and had been deserted for over ten years, appearing somewhat desolate.
Xiao Yunxi had sent people to clean up, and Prince Zhen Nan’s Mansion had purchased some furniture, decorations, and maids and servants, bringing a bit of liveliness.
As the Grand Princess of Great Song, Zhao Qianyi’s mansion was still grand, but its display was somewhat lacking, with only two guards at the gate.
Seeing Chen Mo arrived, they could barely speak coherently.
They wanted to go and announce his presence but were stopped by Chen Mo, who asked them to just take him to see the Grand Princess.
...
In the martial arts field of the Princess’s Mansion.
"Ha."
"Bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
The person below led Chen Mo to the martial arts field before leaving.
Zhao Qianyi was probably practicing boxing, wearing a tight black practice robe, with a belt cinching her slender waist, highlighting her hourglass figure, her ink-black hair tied up high, she punched the wooden dummy while sweating profusely.
The punches were fast and powerful, each punch on the wooden dummy made a muffled sound.
Upon seeing Chen Mo, her momentum changed, and with a swift step, she was in front of Chen Mo, punching towards his face.
During her foot movement, Chen Mo already gauged her action trajectory, raised his right hand to block the punch, and moved his left hand to hug her waist, but she evaded with a turn, rolled to his side, and struck again from behind.
But Chen Mo seemed to have eyes on his back, catching Zhao Qianyi’s fist with a backhand this time, using force without effect, he turned and pulled her into a full embrace.
Chen Mo smiled slightly, "Are you angry?"
Zhao Qianyi’s expression was neither shy nor denying, just said coldly, "You still know to come?"
Saying this, she tried to break free.
Chen Mo held firmly, "Wasn’t it piled with matters after going to Jiangnan, recently not busy? And I haven’t forgotten about you, Grand Princess, didn’t I send you the letter from the Jin family? I replied to the Jin family, won’t let Yue Yuxi go back, if nothing unexpected happens, Wei Ying should be released soon."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qianyi paused and did not struggle anymore.
Seeing this, Chen Mo took advantage of the situation, took out the beautiful jade to give her, said, "Qianyi, this is a gift I brought back for you from Jiangnan, do you like it?"
Zhao Qianyi, unlike other women, didn’t like this kind of jade, but since it was from Chen Mo, she still said she liked it.
Chen Mo, pleased, kissed her cheek, then gave her the spear technique "Spear Emerges Like a Dragon".
