Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace Chapter 225 225: 224 Jiang Ruoqing

"Swish..."

As Chen Mo opened the guest room door, a longsword suddenly unsheathed, its blade pressing directly against his neck, a glint of cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Clang!"

Chen Mo instantly struck out, his two fingers flicked fiercely on the sword's blade, making a crisp sound, and the longsword bent backwards sharply, then ricocheted out of the attacker's hand, falling to the ground.

Jiang Ruoqing's eyes narrowed sharply; even though she was still injured, the fact that such a surprise assassination was so forcefully thwarted by him left her astonished at his strength.

For martial artists, victory or defeat is often determined in a mont.

As she prepared to strike again, her neck was clutched by a large hand, and her entire body was lifted up single-handedly, her feet leaving the ground.

Jiang Ruoqing's slightly pale face turned red in an instant.

At this mont, she could clearly see the person grasping her neck.

His robe was white as snow, and his black flowing hair draped over his shoulders, tied with a white jade hairpin. When she looked at the man's face again, it was smooth and fair with distinct cold, chiseled features; his temperant was hard to describe, a mix of various qualities.

He exuded nobility and elegance, yet there was a wild and unrestrained aura about him.

But Jiang Ruoqing couldn't think too much anymore.

Because she was almost out of breath.

"Don't you assassins know how to repay kindness?"

Originally, Chen Mo intended to have a good talk with the woman to see if there were any aspects he could utilize, but her attitude made Chen Mo decide to change approach.

Having said that, Chen Mo casually threw the woman to the ground.

Then he took two steps towards the room, waving his hand behind him.

The door slamd shut with a bang.

"Cough cough..." Jiang Ruoqing coughed while gasping for breath. The closing door made her more panicked, and she staggered as she tried to stand up.

The man had already sat by the bed. He looked young, only a few years older than her apprentice, strikingly handso.

The most crucial thing was his extraordinary skill.

Jiang Ruoqing furrowed her brow: "Was it... you who saved ?"

"Who else?"

"Then... did you also take off my clothes?"

Sensing the hostility in her words, Chen Mo's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded.

"I'll kill you." Upon seeing Chen Mo admit it, Jiang Ruoqing's eyes turned blood-red, as if Chen Mo had humiliated her, she picked up the longsword on the ground and slashed towards Chen Mo.

"Bang!"

The bed where Chen Mo had just been sitting was split in two by Jiang Ruoqing's sword.

Her strike missed its target.

Sohow, Chen Mo appeared behind her and jabbed sharply several tis on her back.

Jiang Ruoqing's body beca immobilized, and her cultivation was sealed.

"I saved you, it could be considered as saving your life. I don't expect you to repay with your life, but why do you want to kill right away, can't you differentiate between good and bad?

Moreover, without removing clothes, how could I check your injuries and expel the cold poison from your body?"

Chen Mo said with a sullen face, although the last sentence could have been completely avoided by him.

Seeing the woman not answering, Chen Mo's face turned dark.

He saved her not out of kindness.

Attracted by her beauty, that was one aspect.

On another hand, wasn't it a common trope in martial arts novels for a woman to offer herself to the man who saved her life?

Chen Mo also wanted to give it a try, to see if he could win the beauty.

However, the result was the complete opposite, she imdiately attempted to cut him with a sword.

Reality indeed differed greatly from imagination.

Jiang Ruoqing's body convulsed slightly.

It was then Chen Mo noticed sothing was wrong, he ca to Jiang Ruoqing's front and found her lips closed and blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

"You gotta be kidding ..."

Chen Mo widened his eyes, the first thought flashing through his mind was biting her tongue off to commit suicide.

He imdiately knocked Jiang Ruoqing unconscious.

Then he laid her flat on the ground, prying her mouth open.

Thanks to Chen Mo's tily intervention, and the fact that her cultivation was sealed as well as her being injured, her attempt to "bite her tongue to commit suicide" was not successful.

Chen Mo applied so dicine on her.

While feeling a bit bewildered.

Was this woman crazy?

If she couldn't kill him, then she tried to kill herself.

Are you serious?

...

In her unconsciousness, Jiang Ruoqing had a very long dream.

She dread of her childhood.

She didn't know who her parents were.

She grew up in the Su Nv Sect from an early age.

According to her master, when she was still an infant, she was found by her master in the snow and brought to the Su Nv Sect.

The Su Nv Sect was passed down to one disciple each generation.

By her master's generation, it was already the seventh generation.

Her master treated her as his own.

Taught her techniques and principles.

Day by day, ti went by.

She did not disappoint her master.

At the age of twenty-five, she stepped into the Innate Realm.

Just when she thought her life would be spent at the Su Nv Sect.

Her master returned to the Su Nv Sect with severe injuries.

Her master's heart veins were shattered, beyond recovery, only a breath remained.

After telling Jiang Ruoqing that a monk was responsible for her injuries and to continue the Su Nv Sect's legacy, her master passed away.

Rembering her master's last words, after arranging her master's burial, Jiang Ruoqing left the Su Nv Sect, planning to find a female disciple to inherit her mantle, then seek out her master's killer for revenge.

Afterwards, in her search for a successor, Jiang Ruoqing ca to Bianliang.

She selected a person and took her as her direct disciple.

Five years passed.

When Jiang Ruoqing felt that everything was back on track and was preparing to return with her disciple to the Su Nv Sect and settle down to seek revenge for her master,

A nightmare occurred.

Her clothes were stripped off.

From the mory before she fainted last night, the last thing she saw was a man.

The Su Nv Sect allowed marriage.

Only because of the single lineage, each generation's sect leader devoted themselves entirely to the sect, with no ti for other matters.

Because of the Su Nv Sect's teachings,

Jiang Ruoqing was particularly protective of her chastity.

Having her clothes stripped off and being seen by a man, Jiang Ruoqing felt her chastity was gone.

For this, Jiang Ruoqing had three ways to handle it.

The first was to kill the man who saw her body.

The second was to commit suicide.

The third was to marry that man.

Seeing that she couldn't kill the man who saw her body,

Jiang Ruoqing chose to commit suicide.

As for the third,

She had devoted herself entirely to the Su Nv Sect, never considering it.

But then she regretted it.

Her master's revenge was yet to be avenged.

Her apprentice had not been settled yet.

If she died,

Who would avenge her master?

Who would continue the Su Nv Sect?

Her dream ended.

"Um—"

A feeble voice erged, Jiang Ruoqing's eyebrows knitted slightly, her eyelashes quivering slightly under the lamplight, slowly opening her eyes.

The world spun, her body felt weak, and there was a faint taste of blood and dicine in her mouth.

This caused her icy lotus-like eyes to reveal a hint of confusion and fatigue.

She struggled to prop herself up on her elbow, glancing around, finding a pair of eyes watching her intently.
