Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

No doubt she was trained as a courtesan in the brothel; although her temperament, appearance, and figure were not as good as Zhao Fujin and Xiao Yunxi, she had skills in seducing and pleasing men that they couldn’t learn.

Her jade hand slipped into Chen Mo’s clothes, gently caressing his chest.

Chen Mo held the soft-bodied beauty in his arms, his hands restless, yet he didn’t rush, and said softly, ”You’ve been here in the mansion for quite a few days, yet I still don’t know your real name.”

”My real name isn’t pleasant to hear; I’m afraid it’ll sully your ears, sir.” Lianyi suddenly raised her voice slightly, knowing that men liked this kind of milky tone.

”It’s alright.” Chen Mo’s hot breath brushed against her ear, his strong masculine scent instantly enveloping her whole body, making her go soft all over.

”Peng... Tigress.” Lianyi murmured in a voice like a mosquito.

She was born into a poor farming family in a remote area and was given the name Tigress for good luck and survival.

Later, due to heavy taxation and unrest, to survive, her parents sold her to a wealthy family as a maid.

Later on, that wealthy family brought her to the capital, and because of some issues, needed funds, so they sold their maids to a brothel.

The ”moms” of the brothel took a fancy to her looks, trained her up, and gave her the stage name Lianyi.

Indeed, how many girls in the brothel willingly choose this line of work?

In this man-eating world, when folks can’t live, they take extreme paths and rebel.

But most people are honest farmers; rebels are few, so they choose to sell their sons and daughters to barely survive.

The reason the Great Song Dynasty has fallen to this state is entirely of its own doing.

Where there is oppression, there will be resistance.

For an instant, Chen Mo suddenly felt like a good person, giving so many homeless girls a home.

Even saving Lianyi from the brothel, changing her tragic future.

Chen Mo gently lifted Lianyi’s chin, smiled, and said, ”Tigress is a nice name, quite endearing, where is it unpleasant?”

Though the light wasn’t on, Lianyi could still feel Chen Mo’s burning gaze on her, her face uncontrollably flushed, and she softly said, ”If you like it, sir... that’s good.”

”By the way, do you find it stuffy staying in the room? If you’re bored, you can go find Yaoyao and the others for some fun; they’re with you too, after all...” Chen Mo thought and said.

Lianyi gently nodded, without thinking much.

In her understanding, the young master’s brother was a eunuch, and Yi Yao, Chun Lan, were the young master’s brother’s maids, so they belonged to the young master, and there was no conflict between them.

”How about I have Qingping and Zhu Ying come over to be your maids? If you don’t want to find Yaoyao, you can chat with them.”

The Qingping Chen Mo referred to, her full name was Bu Qingping; she, Zhu Ying, and Su Mu were given to him by Gao Zheng.

Out of these three women, Su Mu was his bed warmer; Chen Mo had no intention of accepting Bu Qingping and Zhu Ying, just letting them serve as maids in the mansion.

”As you wish, sir.”

Lianyi had a simple thought; although she had lost her virginity to Chen Mo, she didn’t dare to seek status due to her brothel origins.

If Chen Mo gave her something, she accepted it.

If Chen Mo didn’t give her something, she wouldn’t ask for it.

If Chen Mo wanted her, she would do her best to satisfy him.

After a few more words, Chen Mo nestled closer to Lianyi’s cheek, gently rubbing, his voice magnetic, ”Time to rest.”

”Let me serve you, sir...”

After letting Chen Mo lie down comfortably, Lianyi turned over and sat on Chen Mo, biting a strand of hair, her eyes like silk.

...

The sixty-ninth day of the great upheaval.

Huazhong was killed in battle; Cold Water Pass fell; the entire army was wiped out—this news reached the capital and shocked the court; officials, both civil and military, were panicking.

After the morning court session ended, they flocked to the Xiao Mansion to discuss countermeasures.

Since there was no occurrence of blood decree, the Imperial Palace remained calm, but rumors of Chen Hong involved with the Eastern Palace Empress Dowager, sharing the Phoenix Bed at night, spread fast.

However, Chen Hong was already dead, plus the one spreading it was silenced immediately, so it did not escalate.

Yet Chen Hong’s reputation was thoroughly ruined.

But Chen Hong was Chen Hong, what’s that got to do with me, Chen Mo?

At this moment, Chen Mo was arranging the funeral for his ”brother.”

This news reached Zhao Fujin’s ears; though incredulous, she went to find Xiao Yunxi, pretending to casually ask about it.

Xiao Yunxi, of course, vehemently denied it, advising Zhao Fujin not to believe such baseless talk.

...

Lin Su Ya returned.

Secretly finding Chen Mo, her first words were, ”I must leave now.”

Chen Mo instinctively asked, ”Where to?”

”Going home.” Lin Su Ya gazed into the distance, speaking softly.

”Home?” Chen Mo was startled, suddenly remembering the night when Lin Su Ya revealed the truth about the Canglan Continent. Although she didn’t make it explicit, Chen Mo could guess that Lin Su Ya wasn’t from the Canglan Continent.

And the home she mentioned should be the Immortal Cultivation Realm at the end of the Sea of Nothingness.

”Master, did you survive the Celestial Tribulation?” Chen Mo asked.

Lin Su Ya nodded, then took out a round token from her bosom and handed it to Chen Mo.

The front of the token showed a Yin-Yang Tai Chi pattern; the back had two ancient characters, seemingly from the script of the Immortal Cultivation Realm from ancient times.

”Master, what is this?” Chen Mo asked.

”This is the Direct Disciple Token of mine, still a basic-level magical artifact, capable of transmission, but its effective range is only three hundred miles. Once you break through to Foundation Establishment and reach the Immortal Cultivation Realm, you can use this token to find me.” This was the first time Lin Su Ya referred to herself as ’I’; before, she always called herself ’this poor path.’”

”Also, I know you have matters to handle and won’t leave with me. Therefore, this time I will take Fujin with me.”

The sudden news caught Chen Mo off guard, and he hurriedly said, ”Master, didn’t you say only after reaching Foundation Establishment can one leave the Canglan Continent? Senior Sister hasn’t reached the Innate stage yet...”

”That is true for ordinary people, but Fujin does not fall into that category. Her talents are extraordinary, and I trust they will make an exception for her there. Originally, I planned to wait for you both to break through Foundation Establishment for them to guide you there, but the current situation is too chaotic. For Fujin’s safety, we must do it this way.” Lin Su Ya explained.

Chen Mo: ”...”

”When will you leave, Master?” Chen Mo thought about it; given the current state of affairs, perhaps Senior Sister leaving was the best option.

”By my calculations, within seven days.” Lin Su Ya replied.

”I understand.” Chen Mo said.

”Is there anyone you wish to kill?” As she departed, Lin Su Ya suddenly asked.

PS: Regarding Zhao Fujin’s departure, Ju Mao still doesn’t know how to handle her affair with Xiao Yunxi and dares not really write about it. Those who understand, understand; avoiding it is undoubtedly best.
