Chapter 23: Trapped in an Illusion! Fiercely Spanking Li Yuan!

Chen Mo stood up and walked over to open the room door.

He saw Lady Liu standing at the entrance, holding a tray with several dishes of hot food and a pot of warm wine.

"My lord, you have traveled all the way from the capital of Tiandu; the journey must have been exhausting, and you have yet to dine."

"I have had the servants prepare some simple wine and dishes. Please forgive the poor hospitality, my lord."

Lady Liu said in a soft voice.

"You are very thoughtful, Madam."

Chen Mo nodded and stepped aside to let her in.

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

She did not leave immediately, but instead stood to the side, holding the wine pot to pour a drink.

Chen Mo scrutinized her without restraint; the candlelight shone upon her plain clothing, outlining her plump silhouette in alternating light and shadow.

Such a mature woman, rich and supple, moist yet not greasy—she was truly a top-tier specimen.

"Why does my lord look at me like that?"

Lady Liu felt somewhat uneasy under his gaze and asked in a low voice.

"I am just thinking that you still possess quite a bit of charm, Madam."

Chen Mo said with a light chuckle.

A blush rose to Lady Liu’s cheeks; she bit her full lips and chided, "My lord, please do not tease me. I am already past my prime; what is there to look at?"

She was clearly a charming young matron, yet she acted with the shyness of a young girl, which could not help but make one’s heart flutter.

Lady Liu handed the wine cup to Chen Mo and said:

"This is a medicinal wine secretly brewed by the Liu family. It contains strange male-herb and silver deer root, which has the effect of nourishing the blood and replenishing one's vital essence. My lord might as well try it."

Chen Mo reached out to take it and said playfully, "No wonder Master Liu is not satisfied even after taking seven concubines; so he has this medicinal wine to strengthen his body?"

Catching a glimpse of the muscular physique beneath his clothes, Lady Liu covered her mouth and chuckled, "My lord is strong enough even without drinking this medicinal wine."

Chen Mo said with a smile:

"Not only strong, but also quite large."

"I have a great treasure, Madam; would you like to see it?"

Upon hearing this, Lady Liu’s body trembled.

Her eyes were seductive, her breathing grew rapid, and her high, prominent chest seemed ready to burst forth.

"I would indeed like to see it..."

"Very well, then I shall satisfy this small request of yours."

No sooner had the words fallen than a brilliant, fierce blade light slashed down!

Lady Liu’s expression changed, and she quickly retreated, but she was still grazed by the blade qi, which tore off an entire arm!

No blood flowed from the wound; instead, it emitted a faint black mist!

"No wonder the Profound Mystery Jade did not react; so it was not a demon, but a dead object?"

Chen Mo shook the horizontal blade in his hand.

"Madam, how is my treasure?"

The flush on Lady Liu’s face faded, and she looked at him coldly, "When did you discover it?"

"I wasn't entirely sure at first, but you were far too impatient."

"And this medicinal wine..."

Chen Mo held the wine cup, his vital essence surged, and a wisp of black mist slowly dissipated.

"Poisoning?"

"Isn't that method a bit too cliché?"

Seeing that her ploy had been exposed, Lady Liu turned to flee.

In an instant, a biting blade light arrived!

With overwhelming force, it split her in two from top to bottom!

A kill in one strike!

Yet, Chen Mo felt no sense of triumph; his brow furrowed, and he felt a vague sense that something was wrong.

This Lady Liu had died far too easily, as if she had deliberately come to be killed by him...

At that moment, he caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye.

In just a brief moment, tender buds grew from the corpse on the ground, and as the sepals slowly unfolded, an extremely bewitching pink flower bloomed.

A breeze blew past, the stamens trembled, and a fragrant scent filled the air.

"Not good!"

A sense of danger arose in Chen Mo’s heart; his blade ignited with scorching flames, instantly burning the corpse to ashes.

However, it was already too late.

His vision blurred, the surrounding scene shifted, and he found himself on an embroidered couch in the Music Bureau!

Gu Manzhi lay beneath him, her pink undergarments unable to hide the spring scenery; her jade-like arms were wrapped around his neck, and her eyes were filled with mist.

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

"Bad woman, go to hell!"

Chen Mo knew he had fallen into an illusion, and without hesitation, he slashed down!

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 into his embrace, her whole body burning hot, her eyes hazy, and traces of intense kisses 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, it was in a luxurious palace.

Cold Night Palace!

Yu Youhan’s jade feet rested on his lap, her toes gently teasing him, and her phoenix eyes stared at him coldly.

"You dog of a servant, I let you massage my feet, what crooked thoughts have you developed?"

"Your... Your Highness..."

Chen Mo was nearly broken!

That aura, as deep as an abyss and as terrifying as a prison, was too real; he actually lacked the courage to swing his blade!

"It's fake, it's all fake!"

Chen Mo kept telling himself.

Remembering the scenes from his past life where he had used cheats to repeatedly ravage the Empress, he finally regained a sliver of strength and, closing his eyes, he stabbed forward!

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

"Let's see what other tricks you can pull!"

Chen Mo opened his eyes again and saw that he was back in the room at the Liu residence.

A woman had her legs wrapped around his waist, hugging him tightly like a koala.

Her red lips parted slightly, exhaling like an orchid:

"Damn Chen Mo..."

"Hmm?"

Hearing this voice, Chen Mo’s expression changed.

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

"Li Yuan?!"

Chen Mo shuddered.

Without a word, he swung his blade to strike.

Just as the blade was about to fall, his movement suddenly stopped.

No.

The previous illusions were all things he had personally experienced, and between him and Li Yuan, there had been neither intimate contact nor any romantic feelings...

Could it be...

That this was not an illusion at all?

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

Her eyes cleared for a brief moment, then were covered again by intense desire, and she mumbled:

"No, I want to be on top..."

Chen Mo: "..."

It really wasn't an illusion!

Although he did not know why Li Yuan had appeared here.

But judging by her state, she must have also been poisoned by the flower and fallen into an illusion.

"I must find a way to wake her up..."

Listening to the woman muttering "Damn Chen Mo," "Bastard," "Filthy," and "I'll crush you to death"...

Chen Mo’s anger flared; he picked her up, walked to the bed, pressed her over his lap, and gave her firm buttocks a fierce slap!

Slap!

It trembled and swayed, setting off a ripple of waves.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

This woman had a nasty personality, but her figure was exceptionally good.

Round and firm, with tight, fleshy curves, it felt excellent to strike.

Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!

Chen Mo became more and more spirited as he struck, even using the Eight Blazing Slashes; his scorching hot palms had forcefully beaten her into a Kardashian.

……

Li Yuan let out a muffled groan.

The intense pain caused her consciousness to clear.

Originally, she had been in the next room and, upon hearing the sound of Lady Liu knocking on the door, had quietly come over to investigate.

Through the crack in the door, she had seen the scene of Chen Mo slashing Lady Liu with his blade.

She had hurriedly opened the door and entered, only to be met with a fragrant scent.

And then…

Thinking of the situation in the illusion, Li Yuan felt flustered and shook her head vigorously.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

To think that I would actually… with that guy…

Hiss, strange, why does it feel like my backside is on fire?

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

She saw Chen Mo’s palm glowing with red light, striking her buttocks one after another.

He was even muttering:

"A tiger's backside cannot be touched? Laozi insists on touching it, touching it hard..."

"???"

Li Yuan’s brow twitched wildly, and she nearly shattered her teeth.

"Chen Mo!!"

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