Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

Upon hearing these words, Hu Mei’Er’s long eyebrows furrowed, and her chest heaved slightly, giving the impression of something tantalizingly about to reveal itself.

Since entering the palace as Noble Consort Hu, no one had dared speak to her so boldly, let alone speak such flippant words.

If it were someone else, Hu Mei’Er would have long ordered them dragged out and executed.

Hu Mei’Er bit her lip and already categorized Chen Mo as a lecherous type in her heart, but on the surface, she smiled charmingly, ”General Chen is truly bold. I am the Emperor’s consort, and yet General Chen dares to covet me.”

”Not at all, compared to Noble Consort, I am still far behind,” Chen Mo smiled slightly, thinking that Hu Mei’Er’s group of Nan Zhou remnants all wished to overthrow the Great Song dynasty.

Hu Mei’Er covered her mouth with a laugh and then said, ”I am but a plain woman who is already married. How could I have designs to be with General Chen?”

”Not at all...” Chen Mo sat down, acting like a lecher, grabbed Hu Mei’Er’s hand, gently stroking her arm, lightly teasing, smiling he said, ”The noble consort may not know, but this General has the makings of a hero.”

Hu Mei’Er immediately felt as if she had been electrocuted, yet she resisted the urge to pull back.

Though Chen Mo was not yet twenty, he was already an Innate Martial Artist, and even a Second-Grade Martial Artist was no match for him. Achieving the First Grade was undoubtedly certain, and those above had instructed her to win him over at all costs.

Inviting him tonight, Hu Mei’Er had considered the idea of feeding a wolf with her body.

However, what she imagined the feeding to be was merely allowing Chen Mo some superficial advantage; anything more profound was absolutely impossible.

Even if it were the Emperor in question, Hu Mei’Er would not give him a chance.

Upon hearing Chen Mo’s words, Hu Mei’Er displayed a puzzled expression.

Chen Mo merely laughed and said, ”No worries, this General just enjoys this sort of thing.”

Seeing Chen Mo’s excessive behavior, Hu Mei’Er quickly withdrew her hand, stood up and retreated three steps, then said, ”If General Chen helps me accomplish this task, this matter is not impossible.”

”Easily said, easily done.” Chen Mo also stood up, then said with a grin, ”However, this General prefers to board the ship first, then buy the ticket.”

Hu Mei’Er’s eyes filled with disgust, but she still forced herself to face him, saying, ”How do I know that if General Chen finishes with me, he won’t acknowledge it afterwards?”

As she spoke, she even stuck out her tongue and licked her red lips.

Damn, this woman is truly a demon.

Chen Mo quickly recited the Clear Heart Technique silently, suppressing the heat rising in his abdomen, and said, ”This General keeps his word.”

”Words mean nothing.” Hu Mei’Er retorted.

”Then what does the noble consort suggest?”

”Does General Chen know about the Nan Zhou Treasure?”

”That legendary treasure said to grant dominion over the world?” Chen Mo snorted in disbelief.

”It’s not a legend.” Hu Mei’Er collected her smile and said seriously.

”If it’s not a legend, how did Nan Zhou get annihilated by the previous dynasty?” Chen Mo looked at Hu Mei’Er playfully.

”Sorry, this matter involves Nan Zhou’s secrets; I cannot disclose it,” Hu Mei’Er said, her expression serious.

”If you wish to cooperate, and the noble consort cannot share such details, is this cooperation necessary?” Chen Mo also dropped his smile and spoke in a serious tone.

”Aren’t you worried that this Imperial Concubine will inform His Majesty that you’re not a eunuch?” Seeing that soft tactics had no effect, Hu Mei’Er prepared to use threats.

”Go ahead, but I’m also worried about rumors in Bianliang that Noble Consort Hu is a Nan Zhou remnant, and perhaps that Red Sun Bell might be buried in some latrine, never to see the light of day,” Chen Mo chuckled.

”You truly know about the Nan Zhou Treasure.” Hu Mei’Er’s expression changed.

”I know a bit, but not as much as the noble consort,” Chen Mo replied.

”It seems General Chen has no intention to cooperate.” Hu Mei’Er said.

Chen Mo shook his head, ”I just don’t see your sincerity in cooperation.”

Hu Mei’Er narrowed her eyes and then took a deep breath, saying, ”Do you really want to know?”

”I’m just curious.”

”The more you know, the more danger it brings to you.”

”I enjoy dangerous challenges, just like you,” Chen Mo smiled.

”Don’t regret this.” Hu Mei’Er sat down again, then said, ”The Nan Zhou Treasure is not some treasure trove but a top-grade magical artifact.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo was startled, then furrowed his brow, asking, ”What is a top-grade magical artifact?”

”Didn’t Lin Su Ya tell you?” Hu Mei’Er asked, rather puzzled.

Chen Mo shook his head.

”And the fact that Canglan Continent is a place of exile for the Immortal Cultivation Realm?” Hu Mei’Er inquired.

”That I know,” Chen Mo nodded.

”Since you know about the Immortal Cultivation Realm, then a magical artifact is a type of weapon used there, ranked above celestial tier treasures, and can only be crafted by Golden Core Realm experts. Top-grade magical artifacts, only Nascent Soul experts can nurture, possessing supreme power,” Hu Mei’Er explained slowly.

After hearing this, Chen Mo was even more puzzled: ”If a top-grade magical artifact possesses supreme power, how did Nan Zhou get destroyed?”

”Because every top-grade magical artifact has a corresponding technique, and to wield an artifact, the minimum strength required is that of an innate martial artist, along with the corresponding technique, to truly use it. At the time, Nan Zhou did not have a complete technique,” Hu Mei’Er elaborated.

”So, your ancestors hid it, waiting for the complete technique before using it to restore the nation?” Understanding Hu Mei’Er’s meaning, Chen Mo stroked his chin and asked.

Hu Mei’Er nodded, ”A top-grade magical artifact would drive even Golden Core Realm experts in the Immortal Cultivation Realm to madness. Now you know more, it just brings more danger to you, and you brought this upon yourself.”

She held out her hand, ”You’ve seen my sincerity, so hand it over.”

”What?” Chen Mo was taken aback.

Seeing Chen Mo still playing dumb at this point, Hu Mei’Er shot him a fierce look and then said, ”The three Red Sun Bells in your possession.”

Hearing this, Chen Mo said resignedly, ”When did I have three Red Sun Bells?

Moreover, even if I had three Red Sun Bells, why should I give them to you? You only told me what the Nan Zhou Treasure is, but I’ve received no benefit and stand to lose the Red Sun Bells, which isn’t a good deal unless you also share the techniques, then I might consider it.”

”Shameless,” Hu Mei’Er cursed angrily.

”How am I shameless? Isn’t that reasonable? You’re the one wanting to cooperate with me, but I’ve yet to gain any benefit, and the top-grade magical artifact you mentioned could also be fabricated. How do I know if what you’re saying is true?” Chen Mo appeared as though he wouldn’t act without tangible gain.

Hu Mei’Er was furious, but restrained her anger, saying, ”I can give you money, lots of money.”
