With He Yuzhi’s personality, she really couldn’t get along with that crowd of socialite won, who were all about discussing whose music sounded better or which brand of costics had the best color. Just listening made her head spin.
If it weren’t for Mrs. Lin being present, she wouldn’t have lasted a second.
And then there was Qin Shu, who seed like a different person, frequently showing goodwill towards her and casually inquiring about Chen Mo’s recent activities, clearly up to so mischief.
"Madam, you’re back."
As she walked through the front door, Chen Fu approached quickly.
"Yes, is the water in the bath ready?" He Yuzhi asked.
Now she was exhausted in both body and mind, desperately wanting to bathe and relax.
"Uh, the young master is in there right now." Chen Fu scratched his head, puzzled, and said, "He’s been in there for almost an hour and still hasn’t co out..."
"So long? What is he doing in there?"
He Yuzhi raised an eyebrow and walked towards the backyard.
Standing outside the bathroom, she focused her senses but couldn’t detect any movent, clearly blocked by soone using Daoist Skill.
It’s just a bath; does he have to be so secretive?
"That kid has probably brought another girl ho!"
"If it were Qingxuan, he wouldn’t be so secretive. Obviously, he’s again courting trouble with so random girls!"
"I just told him this morning to behave himself a little, and he reveals his true nature within less than a day, treating my words like they’re nothing!"
He Yuzhi gritted her teeth, furious.
But she still kept rational and didn’t storm in directly.
No matter what, Chen Mo is a household head, and in front of outsiders, she needs to keep his dignity intact...
"Just wait till you co out; let’s see how I’ll deal with you!"
...
...
The bathroom was fragrant with the subtle scent of osmanthus flowers.
Yu Youhan leaned softly against Chen Mo’s chest, her breath fast, exhaling like an orchid, eyes looking at him half lovingly and half reproachfully.
"Are you trying to wear out to death?"
With the enhancent of Dragon Blood, Chen Mo’s already formidable physique had transford once again to an absurd degree.
Initially, he intended for a quick end, but Master Yu had been working all day, using her best efforts only to find she was helping him, making herself exhausted instead.
In the end, she could only let him draw maps on her body...
Chen Mo said innocently, "You started it, and you can’t just slaughter without burying, right?"
"But you can’t use that place, almost..." Yu Youhan stopped, her cheeks flushing red, annoyed, "You’re getting more and more presumptuous, not taking seriously at all, where’s the respect for elders?"
"I hold the Empress in my heart," Chen Mo grinned, "Besides, you were just now calling not to stop..."
"Don’t you say another word! Those three words were ant to be read separately!"
Yu Youhan pinched his waist hard, making him wince in pain.
Actually, Yu Youhan didn’t mind being intimate with Chen Mo, otherwise she wouldn’t indulge him so much. But he always took advantage of the situation, finding new ways to play with her.
If he reached the First Grade, she dared not even imagine!
"I really need to rein you in!"
After a while, when the emotions cald down, Yu Youhan furrowed her brows and said, "You just said this so-called ’Dragon Blood’ was obtained from the Third Floor of Heaven Martial Vault?"
"Yes, an old dragon lived in that painting..."
Chen Mo recounted the story briefly.
"It doesn’t sound like a simple artifact spirit, but sothing between reality and illusion."
Yu Youhan pondered for a mont, her eyes gleaming with azure light, enveloping Chen Mo.
Under the cyan light, his body gradually beca transparent, clearly revealing the muscles, bones, and the Qi-Blood coursing through the ridians.
Amid the surging Qi-Blood like mighty rivers, there were several deeper currents, barely noticeable unless observed ticulously.
"No Demon Energy, but a highly concentrated energy body, no wonder it’s so hidden." Yu Youhan saw through the essence of the Dragon Blood at once.
Chen Mo curiously asked, "So this blood really cos from the Dragon Clan?"
"Not sure," Yu Youhan hesitated, "I’ve never heard of any race passing down mories through bloodline for a thousand years; perhaps it’s truly related to the legendary ’Dragon’."
Chen Mo remained skeptical about this.
If such a powerful creature did exist, why would there be no records of it, with only vague guesses found in unofficial histories and miscellaneous texts?
"From what I can tell, it lacks consciousness, not only increasing your power but also helping you control Dragon Qi. It seems more beneficial than harmful, so there’s no need to worry too much..."
At this mont, Yu Youhan paused as if she had noticed sothing.
"Empress, what’s wrong?" Chen Mo asked.
"Nothing." Yu Youhan hesitated for a mont and then said, "We’ve bathed long enough, let’s go out."
"Alright."
Chen Mo responded.
...
...
The two dressed and walked out of the bathroom.
"As the hour is late, maybe we shouldn’t return tonight..."
Chen Mo was still speaking when he suddenly felt a chill on his back. Turning around, he saw He Yuzhi standing under a tree, looking expressionlessly at him.
"Mom?"
"What are you doing here?"
"Ha, do you still rember you have a mother?" He Yuzhi crossed her arms, sneering, "I want to see, which vixen you’ve brought ho this ti..."
When she saw the woman behind Chen Mo, her words stopped abruptly, her expression stiffened, and her eyes filled with confusion and shock.
"Mo—Empress?!"
"What are you doing here?!"
