Regarding the specific events of last night, Chen Mo's mories are very blurry.
But the physical sensations are very real; the fine tenderness and the pulsating throbs are not fake, and the empty bottle also proves that this was definitely not a dream or an illusion.
But why is Li Yuan fine, while Ye Zi'e is the one who's limping?
Why is Mr. Xu angry?
Chen Mo is bewildered. With his realm, even Immortal Brew shouldn't make him so drunk that he's completely unaware...
"Yuan'er, do you rember anything that happened last night?" Chen Mo asked in a low voice.
Li Yuan's face was flushed, and she murmured, "I only rember drinking too much and chatting with Mr. Xu for a long ti, then going out to relieve myself. The wind made my head even dizzier, and I don't recall what happened next... Seems like... seems like had a fight with soone on the bed?"
A fight?
Chen Mo pinched his chin and pondered.
It seems he used the Tiger Subduing Stick Technique; at least he didn't hit the wrong person.
"The drugstore owner's wife didn't deceive , it really doesn't hurt at all~"
"But we didn't bathe beforehand, I wonder if Mr. Chen would mind?"
Li Yuan's heart was tumultuous, her cheeks increasingly hot, her watery eyes quietly peeking at Chen Mo, filled with shyness and joy.
Her relationship with Mr. Chen is becoming more intimate...
So happy!
Chen Mo put away the flying boat, heading towards Fengmu County.
Xu You and Ye Zi'e were walking ahead. He quickly caught up, cleared his throat, and said, "Households Commander Ye, you're quite familiar with the situation in Fengmu County. What are the next steps?"
"I... I'll follow your lead," Ye Zi'e said softly.
"Shall we first go to the county governnt to inquire about the situation?"
"Hmm, I'll follow your lead."
?
Chen Mo's eyebrows twitched.
Sothing's off, very wrong indeed!
Though after breaking through to Grandmaster, Ye Zi'e has treated him more respectfully, there's still an underlying pride, acting with her own opinions.
How did she wake up today seeming submissive, as if she'd changed entirely?
Chen Mo hesitated for a mont and whispered to Xu You, "Mr. Xu, after we dispersed yesterday, was there anything else that happened?"
Xu You didn't glance aside and said calmly, "What is Mr. Chen referring to?"
"Uh, I drank too much, my mind isn't clear... Did I do anything... outrageous to you or Households Commander Ye?" Chen Mo asked tentatively.
Crack—
As soon as the words fell, the air seed to instantly solidify.
Chen Mo's hair stood on end, and a chill ran down his spine.
Xu You paused and turned his head, gazing at him intensely, "You truly don't rember anything?"
Chen Mo swallowed, feeling guilty for so reason and shook his head, "Completely blacked out, it's as if I have amnesia."
Xu You scrutinized him for a long ti, then looked away, "After we had three rounds of drinks last night, I returned to rest. Whatever happened after, I can't say."
"That's good..."
Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief, apparently realizing he'd been overthinking.
Good?
Good my foot!
Xu You tightly clenched her lips, her chest fluctuating, the grievances, and resentnt nearly desiring to overflow.
But she couldn't speak such words aloud and could only digest them silently by herself.
"Chen Mo, I hate you to death!"
She didn't want to deal with this jerk anymore and turned to leave.
Ye Zi'e stumbled alongside, cautiously saying, "Empress, last night I…"
"It wasn't your fault, nor did I intend to punish you." Xu You waved her hand and shot a beam of soft light into Ye Zi'e, erasing all the remaining pain but still left her feeling slightly uneasy.
Ye Zi'e's personality seed carefree, but since she's unwed, when a brute ca knocking, she naturally felt flustered and unprepared.
Thankfully, in the last mont, the Empress intervened, otherwise, things would have gone south…
Thinking of this, she silently lowered her head, her ears burning hot.
Despite not deep down opposing dual cultivation with Chen Mo, she didn't want to go down the wrong path!
It's just too absurd!
Xu You noticed Ye Zi'e's deanor and silently sighed.
Ultimately, it can't be blad on anyone else. If she hadn't drunk Chen Mo under the table, there wouldn't have been subsequent unforeseen events, almost letting this dog-like lackey achieve the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top…
More precisely, Ye Zi'e was the victim.
"This incident will remain between us, you don't need to be overly concerned," Xu You spoke, "For now deal with the Gu God Sect, the rest… we'll discuss once back in the Capital City."
"Yes."
Ye Zi'e nodded, then realized, "Are you planning to take action personally?"
Previously ntioned about the Gu God Sect, the Empress didn't show any interest.
Xu You breathed deeply, her chest emboldened by a fire.
"I'm going to kill!"
...
...
The group traveled southwards for ten miles, arriving at the official road.
Up ahead, a small town sat prominently, the gate with the na "Fengmu" engraved above.
Built along the extension of Nine-headed Mountain's veins, Fengmu County's walls made of compacted yellow earth, worn by years of sandstorms, were pockmarked and bore the scars of the Barbarian Tribe's intrusion arrows.
As dawn hadn't broken, the town gate was closed, hardly anyone about.
On the city wall, guards clasping rusted swords and helts over their faces leaned on the wall napping.
Whoosh—
A gentle breeze blew by.
Followed by "Bang! Bang!" two knocks on his helt.
The guard presud a colleague to be playful, waved his hand, annoyed, "Go away, don't disturb my sleep, still tired from last night's drinking till midnight."
