Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

Chen Mo stroked Luo Zhen’s hair and said, ”Then let’s have a child.”

He had attracted so many romantic debts, and there had to be an explanation.

With so many women to take care of, couldn’t he raise a child?

”Re...really?” Luo Zhen’s big eyes stared directly at Chen Mo.

”Silly, would I ever deceive you...” Chen Mo rolled over, pressing down on Luo Zhen, skillfully placing his leg between hers, and then...

The next day.

Chen Mo called the women together and asked who wanted a child.

Apart from Zhao Qianyi, Jiang Ruoqing, and Wu Xin’Er, everyone else expressed a desire for a child.

Zhao Qianyi and Jiang Ruoqing were going to follow Chen Mo over there, so they didn’t want children; being pregnant over there would be inconvenient.

Wu Xin’Er didn’t want a child because she had good cultivation talent and believed she could break through to Foundation Establishment, unlike Luo Zhen and the others.

Thus.

Chen Mo gave Zhao Qianyi a drop of Dragon Blood.

Then she and Jiang Ruoqing entered closed cultivation together.

During the time they closed themselves off, Chen Mo and everyone else were busy creating children.

...

July, the third year of Kaiyuan.

Xiao Yunxi ordered the creation of Copper Boxes (copper boxes similar to complaint boxes and grievance boxes) placed in front of Bianliang City, divided into Enrichment (for those who wish to display their talents and seek official positions), Persuasion (for those who speak on gains or losses in the court administration), Grievance (for those who have grievances and want justice), and Tongxuan (for those who discuss celestial disasters and military secrets), to receive submissions from across the world at any time.

This move could open up avenues for speech and gather talented people.

Mid-July.

A series of requests from military leaders and citizens from places like Nanyang County, Nan County, and Wuling County, asking Xiao Yunxi to change the country’s name to Zhou and give the Emperor the Xiao surname.

Days later, Zhao Chong also requested to take on the Xiao surname.

Not long after, ministers declared, ”The phoenix gathers at Weiyang Palace, the red sparrow appears in the court.” Only then did Xiao Yunxi agree to Zhao Chong’s request, and at the beginning of August, she ascended Taihuang Mountain, pardoned all, changed Song to Zhou, changed the era name to Ruyi, and once again established the capital in Bianliang...

Ruyi Year One, mid-August, Chen Mo resigned from the Commander of the Infantry Division and as Governor of Nanyang County, announcing his retirement.

Xiao Yunxi repeatedly urged him to stay, but seeing Chen Mo’s determined mind, she had no choice but to agree.

With this, the Empress governed the court single-handedly.

The day after Chen Mo retired.

Thunder roared over Bianliang City; Jiang Ruoqing was the first to pass the Celestial Tribulation and step into the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Chen Mo’s diligent sowing for more than a month also bore fruit, with Luo Zhen, Ye Wanqiu, and Zhao Jiangning’s bellies showing movement successively.

Zhao Jiangning previously couldn’t conceive due to illness, but once Chen Mo cured her, she naturally became able to conceive.

Meanwhile, a flying boat appeared above the vast sea, swiftly sailing toward the Canglan Continent.

...

People experience joy and sorrow, the moon waxes and wanes.

Jiang Ruoqing’s breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm did not hide her aura like Chen Mo did; if what Lin Su Ya said was true, at the moment of her breakthrough, she would be sensed by the array placed on the Canglan Continent by the Immortal Cultivation Realm, leading the Immortal Cultivation Realm to send reception personnel over.

This meant that the countdown for Chen Mo and the others’ departure had already begun.

In Prince Zhen Nan’s Mansion, Chen Mo accompanied Luo Zhen, Ye Wanqiu, and Zhao Jiangning. Touching Luo Zhen’s belly, he said, ”It’s a pity, we won’t see the child born before we have to leave.”

Pregnancy lasts ten months.

There’s no ten months left for him now.

Even though they were newly pregnant, Luo Zhen and the others were extremely cautious. They lay down whenever possible instead of standing, fearing any accident.

Zhao Jiangning asked Chen Mo what name he wanted to give the child.

With Zhao Jiangning’s words, Luo Zhen and Ye Wanqiu also insisted that Chen Mo come up with names, saying that as the father, he should name them.

Alright.

This put Chen Mo in a difficult position.

He’s a waste at naming.

Helpless, he resorted to books, hoping to find meaningful names there.

Ultimately, he thought of the Book of Songs.

Green is the collar, my heart is long.

Even if I don’t go, will Ning not give a sound?

Green is the pendant, my mind is long.

...

Then, from the Book of Songs, he came up with three male names and three female names.

The male names were Chen Ziqing, Chen Zining, and Chen Zipei.

The female names were Chen Zijin, Chen Ziyou, and Chen Zixi.

If the child was born, he would choose from the male names if it was a boy, or from the female names if it was a girl.

If they were all boys or girls, they would be named in order.

Additionally, the poem describes lovers longing for each other, being apart like three autumns have passed.

After Chen Mo’s explanation, all three women thought the names were good.

This scene made the other sisters incredibly envious; whenever Chen Mo had free time, they would pull him into their rooms, not letting him rest even during the day.

One night, Chen Mo finally found a moment alone and returned to his room, intending to rest for the night. But as soon as he opened the door, Chen Mo froze.

On his bed sat a woman; the oversized robe couldn’t hide her exquisite figure, with willow brows and apricot eyes, skin white as jade.

The woman’s legs were long and slightly small, snow white, with toes like tender lotus buds. Seeing Chen Mo, a hint of cherry red appeared on her face.

Most importantly, apart from the white robe she wore, she had nothing on underneath, much like Miaozhen, almost bursting forth.

”You...who are you? Why are you wearing my clothes?”

Indeed, the white robe the woman wore was immediately recognizable by Chen Mo as his own clothes.

Yet, as the woman jumped off the bed and spoke, Chen Mo was stunned.

”Master, it’s... me, Xiaojiu.” The woman who called herself Xiaojiu leapt into Chen Mo’s arms.

Chen Mo was dumbstruck.

After confirming three times that it was Xiaojiu’s voice and activating the Spirit Seal, discovering real connections to the woman in front of him, Chen Mo had to admit that the woman was indeed the Spirit Fox Xiaojiu.

Chen Mo swallowed hard, ”Xia... Xiaojiu, when did you become human?”

”Just now.” Xiaojiu pouted, then said, ”Don’t you like it? I transformed into this according to what you like...”

After speaking, she released Chen Mo and spun around in front of him.

At this time, Chen Mo discovered she was half a head taller than him, with legs comparable to Ruoqing, Miaozhen’s chest, Ji Xi’Er’s allure, and Jiang Ning’s demure gentleness.

”It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s just that you suddenly transformed like this, making me a bit unaccustomed...”

Besides, Chen Mo looked at Xiaojiu’s mature figure but with a loli-like voice, he felt deeply suspicious.

These two characteristics shouldn’t appear in one person.

”As long as Master likes it, Xiaojiu also likes Master; shall we consummate the marriage soon? I can’t maintain this form for too long.” Saying that, she hugged Chen Mo again.

Chen Mo: ”...”

”Stop, stop, let me think...”

ps: In about two or three Chapters, they’ll be heading to the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
