Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace Chapter 206 - 205 Relics

The next day.

Chen Mo woke up quite late.

Sunlight stread through the window, directly onto Chen Mo’s eyes, prompting him to instinctively raise his hand to shield them, enveloped in warmth.

He had a habit of lazing in bed, so he had no intention of getting up. After rubbing his eyes, he turned over, intending to continue sleeping, but realized he had bumped into sothing soft.

The mories of last night hadn’t yet awoken; Chen Mo thought it was Luo Zhen and had already pulled this lamb-like body of white jade into his arms.

Just then, he heard the sound of the door opening.

A gentle voice then echoed in his ear: "Sir, you should wake up. An urgent report has arrived at the military, and General Gao is here, waiting for you in the courtyard."

Luo Zhen placed the prepared hot water on the counter and called out to the still lazing Chen Mo.

Chen Mo suddenly woke up, realizing it was Zhen’Er calling him.

And in his arms...

Chen Mo opened his eyes and saw that the person in his arms was none other than Xu Miaozhen.

At the sa ti, the mories of last night gradually ca back.

Although his consciousness hadn’t been under his control last night, the experiences were still stored in his mind.

He furrowed his brow, scenes from last night flashing like a slideshow in his mind.

Xu Miaozhen fainted and woke again.

Her pleas for rcy.

And she was very obedient, doing whatever he told her to do, yielding to his every whim, and she placed herself on Luo Zhen...

Chen Mo rubbed his forehead, feeling he had perhaps gone too far, and there was a sense of guilt in his heart.

Sigh.

Xu Miaozhen was still sound asleep due to exhaustion.

Chen Mo got up, dressed, and had Luo Zhen store the things obtained last night. Then, with Luo Zhen attending to him, he tidied himself up, kissed Luo Zhen on the forehead, and left the room.

...

Outside the courtyard.

Upon seeing Chen Mo erge, Gao Zheng anxiously ca forward and said, "Sir, things are not good. An urgent report, Yellow Armor City has fallen, and the surrounding Zhou County has once again been taken by the rebel army. The commander has ordered that you proceed imdiately after receiving the report to provide assistance."

Chen Mo nodded and said, "Go assemble the brothers, and then leave a unit behind to defend Celestial River City."

"Yes."

...

After making arrangents, Chen Mo didn’t bother with breakfast. He returned to his room, intending to brief Luo Zhen before heading to the battlefield.

Unexpectedly, upon returning to the room, Xu Miaozhen was awake and seed sowhat lost, with Luo Zhen comforting her.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, both won raised their heads.

Luo Zhen asked, "Sir, what happened?"

Xu Miaozhen’s face turned red, and she lowered her head again, not daring to look at Chen Mo.

"It’s nothing major, just that the rebel army has co back," Chen Mo said.

After speaking, Chen Mo sat down by the bed, grabbed Xu Miaozhen’s small hand, and held her in his arms.

Xu Miaozhen’s body stiffened a bit, then began to slightly writhe, her eyes reddening, looking as if she were about to cry.

Chen Mo gently patted her smooth back and said, "Miaozhen, I’m sorry. I will take responsibility for you, from now on, you’ll be with ."

Xu Miaozhen’s struggling subsided a little.

"Get so good rest."

Chen Mo tenderly stroked Xu Miaozhen’s face, then released her and pulled Luo Zhen aside to speak privately:

"There’s an urgent military report; I have to leave. I will have Gao Zheng leave a unit behind to protect you both. Be careful."

Luo Zhen nodded and replied, "Don’t worry, sir, I will also take good care of sister Miaozhen."

Chen Mo was montarily surprised, then smiled.

He then took a Red Sun Bell out of his luggage.

At this point, Chen Mo had two Red Sun Bells.

One was purchased at the market; the other was obtained from the Inner Treasury.

Chen Mo taught Luo Zhen how to use it and passed on the Object Manipulation Skill to her, providing her with a ans of self-defense.

"Also, that kasaya has excellent defense. If any situation arises, you can also take out the kasaya," Chen Mo added.

Luo Zhen nodded, feeling warmth in her heart.

The gentleman showed such concern for her, worrying about her safety.

This indirectly indicated that she held a significant place in his heart.

This made Luo Zhen feel happy.

Making Chen Mo not worry about her.

"Then I’m leaving." Chen Mo donned his helt and prepared to walk out of the room.

But Luo Zhen grabbed him suddenly.

Chen Mo was taken aback and turned around.

He saw Luo Zhen tiptoe slightly, then wrap her arms around Chen Mo’s neck and kiss him on her own accord.

After a while, Luo Zhen released him, looking at Chen Mo’s bewildered expression, blushing, and softly said, "Co back early, I’ll be waiting for you in Celestial River City."

"Okay."

...

At the drill ground, the drums thundered.

Under Chen Mo’s command, they set off.

On the way, Chen Mo began a new simulation.

[Great Turmoil Day 18: You received an urgent military report and led your army to assist the counties surrounding Yellow Armor City.]

[Day 19: You arrived at the counties surrounding Yellow Armor City, successfully recapturing a town occupied by the rebel army, with the situation looking good.

In the afternoon, you received an urgent report, and Huangfu Hao ordered you to lead the army to aid Gao Fen.]

[Day 20: You arrived a mont too late, the city garrisoned by Gao Fen was taken by the rebel army, and Gao Fen was killed.]

...

...

[Day 28: From Lin Su Ya’s mouth, you learned that the golden pearl acquired that day was a relic of a high-ranking Buddhist practitioner.

That night, with the help of the relic, your Heart thod reached the ntal Realm, nearing the level of a transcendent being.]

[Day 29: Tensions in the court escalated, and the relationship between the Emperor and the Xiao Family grew increasingly delicate, with dark currents surging beneath the court’s surface.

At this ti, rumors quietly spread in the Capital about you not being a eunuch and sleeping overnight on the Phoenix Bed.]

[Simulation ended, you can keep one of the following options.]

[One, the martial arts experience of these ten days.]

[Two, the ntal Realm of the Heart thod.]

[Three, the battle experience of these ten days.]

Chen Mo once again chose option one.

The content of the last day’s simulation made him realize that cultivation was the foremost priority.

For the Heart thod ntal Realm, it wasn’t needed for the mont.

...

...

Muyou County.

Upon hearing the news that the rebel army had returned, Gao Fen’s heart was actually excited.

After all, with the Nanyang rebellion having lasted so long, he had not only failed to achieve any success but had also been punished for several offenses; if he returned to the Capital, he surely wouldn’t have any bright prospects.

Thus, Gao Fen needed to achieve military rit to redeem himself.

So, after requesting two battalions from Huangfu Hao, he rushed to Muyou County.

According to the plan, he was supposed to wait for Chen Mo and the others to launch an offensive together.

But Gao Fen was sowhat reluctant to follow the plan, because if he waited for Chen Mo to co, given Chen Mo’s prowess, the credit would undoubtedly go to him, and Gao Fen might not even get a taste.

That would have been a wasted effort.

Nonetheless, he did not act recklessly.

Learning from past lessons, Gao Fen also requested two experienced battlefield generals from Xiao Teng to act as his deputy generals.

ps: The Heart thod ntal Realm is divided into Body Cultivation, Cultivating the Heart, Transcendence, ntal Realm, and Transcendent Being.
