Chapter 23: Trapped in the Illusion! Frenzied Slashing at Li Yuan!

Chen Mo rose and walked over, opening the door.

He saw Lady Liu standing at the doorway, a tray in her hands bearing several dishes of hot food and a pot of boiled wine.

"My lord has rushed here from Tiandu City, weary from the journey, and has yet to eat."

"This humble woman had some wine and dishes lightly prepared; if our hospitality falls short, I pray my lord will be magnanimous."

Lady Liu said softly.

"You are too kind, my lady."

Chen Mo nodded and stepped aside to let her pass.

Lady Liu walked into the room and set the tray on the table.

Then she did not leave at once, but stood to one side, holding the wine pot and beginning to pour.

Chen Mo sized her up without restraint; candlelight filtered through her plain clothes, tracing out a full, ample figure of mingled light and shadow.

Such a ripe woman, rich and plump of flesh, moist but not greasy — truly a fine specimen.

"Why does my lord look at this humble woman so?"

Lady Liu, made uneasy by his gaze, asked in a low voice.

"I see that you, my lady, are still very much in your prime."

Chen Mo said with a light laugh.

A blush rose on Lady Liu's cheeks; her pearly teeth bit her full lips as she chided, "My lord must not tease this humble woman — I am old and faded, where is there anything worth looking at?"

Clearly a woman in her full bloom, yet she blushed like a young girl, stirring an irresistible ripple in the heart.

Lady Liu held the wine cup out before Chen Mo and said:

"This is a medicinal wine secretly brewed by the Liu family, with Strange Hero Grass and Silver Deer Root added — it nourishes qi and blood, replenishes the origin and lifts the yang. My lord might as well try some."

Chen Mo reached out to take it, and said playfully, "No wonder Lord Liu took seven concubines and still wasn't satisfied — turns out he had this medicinal wine to strengthen him?"

Catching sight of the sinewy muscle beneath his clothes, Lady Liu covered her mouth and laughed softly, "Even without that medicinal wine, my lord is sturdy enough."

Chen Mo said with a beaming smile:

"Not only sturdy enough, but big enough too."

"This official has a great treasure — would my lady like to see it?"

At his words, Lady Liu's body trembled.

Her alluring eyes were like silk, her breathing quick, her high, swelling bosom seeming about to burst forth.

"This humble woman would indeed like to see it for herself…"

"Good, then this official shall grant you this small little request."

The instant his words fell, a blazing blade-light hacked down savagely!

Lady Liu's face changed; she swiftly retreated, but was still grazed by the blade qi, an arm torn clean off!

No fresh blood flowed from the wound — instead, a faint black qi seeped out!

"No wonder the Tongxuan Jade showed no reaction — not a demon, but a dead thing?"

Chen Mo shook the horizontal blade in his hand.

"My lady, how do you like this official's treasure?"

The flush faded from Lady Liu's face as she stared at him coldly. "When did you notice?"

"I wasn't certain at first, but you were a touch too eager."

"And this medicinal wine…"

Chen Mo held up the wine cup; essence surged forth, and a wisp of black qi slowly dispersed.

"Poison?"

"A rather hackneyed trick, don't you think?"

Seeing her ruse exposed, Lady Liu turned to flee.

In a flash, the chilling blade-light had already arrived!

Overwhelming and irresistible, it split her clean in two from head to toe!

Killed in a single strike!

Yet Chen Mo showed not the slightest triumph; his brows knit as he vaguely sensed something was off.

Lady Liu had died far too easily — almost as if she had come here deliberately to be killed by him…

At that moment, a glimpse from the corner of his eye caught a scene.

In the span of a Brief Moment Technique, tender sprouts had actually grown from the corpse on the ground; as the sepals slowly unfolded, an enchantingly beautiful pink flower bloomed in full.

A breeze brushed past, the stamens quivered, and a wave of fragrance assailed the nose.

"Not good!"

Chen Mo felt a premonition of danger; flames ignited along his blade, and in an instant the corpse was burned to ash.

But it was already too late.

His vision blurred, the surroundings shifted, and he found himself on the embroidered couch of the Music Bureau!

Gu Manzhi lay beneath him, her pink undergarment unable to conceal her charms; her lotus-white arms wrapped around his neck, her eyes misty and hazy.

"The spring night is short — what is my lord still waiting for?"

"Wicked woman, die for this lord!"

Chen Mo knew he had fallen prey to an illusion; without hesitation, he slashed down with his blade!

The scene shifted again, and he was now in the alchemy room, soaking in a water vat with Shen Zhixia!

"Brother Chen Mo…"

Shen Zhixia leaned against his chest, her whole body scalding, her gaze dazed and wandering, the fierce traces of a passionate kiss still lingering on her cherry lips.

Chen Mo said nothing and swung his blade down once more.

The scene shattered into pieces.

When the image reappeared, he had somehow arrived at a luxurious palace hall.

Hanxiao Palace!

Yu Youhan's jade feet rested on his leg, her toes toying lightly with him, her phoenix eyes watching him coldly.

"You dog of a servant, what dirty thoughts are running through your head while this Palace is ordering you to massage her feet?"

"M-My Lady…"

Chen Mo nearly lost his composure!

That abyssal, hellish aura was far too real—he didn't even have the courage to swing his blade!

"Fake, it's all fake!"

Chen Mo kept telling himself.

Recalling the scenes from his past life where he'd hacked the system and repeatedly toyed with the Lady, he finally regained a sliver of strength and stabbed forward with his eyes shut!

As if popping a bubble, everything vanished into thin air.

"I'll like to see what other tricks you've got!"

Chen Mo opened his eyes again and found himself back in the room at the Liu residence.

A woman had her legs wrapped around his waist, clinging to him like a koala.

Her vermilion lips parted slightly, breathing out like orchid fragrance:

"Damn you, Chen Mo…"

"Mm?"

Hearing that voice, Chen Mo's expression changed.

He looked down and saw that the woman in his arms was actually…

"Li Yuan?!"

Chen Mo gave a shudder.

Without a word, he swung his blade and hacked.

The blade was just about to fall when his motion suddenly froze.

Wait.

All the previous Illusion Realms were things he had personally experienced, but between him and Li Yuan, there had never been any intimate contact, nor any feelings between a man and a woman…

Could it be that…

This isn't an illusion at all?

Chen Mo raised his hand and slapped Li Yuan across the face.

Her eyes briefly cleared, then were once again covered by thick lust as she murmured:

"No, I want to be on top…"

Chen Mo: "…"

Sure enough, it wasn't an illusion!

Although he didn't know why Li Yuan had appeared here.

Judging by her state, she must have also been hit by the flower poison and fallen into an Illusion Realm.

"I need to find a way to wake her up first…"

Listening to this woman muttering "Damn you, Chen Mo," "Bastard," "Filthy," "Squish you to death"…

Chen Mo's anger flared. He grabbed her, walked to the bed, pressed her across his lap, and gave her plump bottom a fierce slap!

Smack!

It quivered and shook, sending ripples through the air.

Smack! Smack! Smack!

This woman had a vicious personality, but her figure was astonishingly good.

Round and firm, taut with flesh, the feel of the spanking was exquisite.

Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack!

The more Chen Mo spanked, the more into it he got—even bringing out the Blazing Flame Eight Slashes, his burning-hot palm whacking her into a Kardashian.

……

Li Yuan let out a muffled groan.

The intense pain brought her consciousness back to clarity.

Originally, she had been in the next room, heard Lady Liu knocking, and had quietly come over to investigate.

Through the crack in the door, she had seen Chen Mo slash at Lady Liu.

She had hurried in, and the moment she entered, a fragrance had hit her face.

And then…

Thinking of the Illusion Realm, Li Yuan panicked and shook her head hard.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

I actually… with that guy…

Hiss, strange, why does it feel like my butt's on fire?

Li Yuan turned her head to look, and her expression instantly froze.

She saw Chen Mo's palm glowing red, slapping her bottom again and again.

Still muttering:

"A tiger's backside can't be touched? I'll touch it anyway, touch it hard…"

"???"

Li Yuan's brow twitched wildly, her silver teeth nearly ground to dust.

"Chen Mo!!"

"You lecher, I'll fight you to the death!"
