Chapter 181: Chapter 108: Husband? It’s Done! About to be Caught by the Empress! (7K)_3

...

Chen Mo had roughly experienced all the content of the Heavenly Martial Arena.

Things like puppets or medicine baths didn’t hold much significance for him. He had plenty of spiritual materials at home, and if he wanted to hone his martial arts, Cen Long and his mother were available.

However, the cultivation room for tempering the body was quite useful.

He planned to get a few spirit pills from the Demon Suppression Department and fill up the Wind Pool Acupoint, which would further enhance his strength.

As for places of enlightenment like the "Mountain of Blades and Tomb of Swords," the conditions to enter were quite stringent. Chen Mo still had some time before breaking through to the Divine Sea, so he wasn’t in a rush.

Seeing that it was already noon, Chen Mo and Lin Jingzhu left the Heavenly Martial Arena.

Along the way, Lin Jingzhu seemed to have something to say but hesitated.

Upon seeing Chen Mo untie the reins and mount his horse, she hesitated for a moment, then gathered her courage and said, "Mr. Chen... do you have any plans for tonight?"

"Hmm?"

Chen Mo was taken aback by her words, "Not really, why?"

Lin Jingzhu said, "My mother heard that you saved my life and is very grateful to you. She wants to host a family dinner and invite you to the Lin Residence for a meal... it’s better to do it today if you’re free, how about tonight?"

"A family dinner?"

Chen Mo felt a bit hesitant.

The Busty Empress had just warned him not long ago to keep his distance from Lin Jingzhu.

But looking at Lin Jingzhu’s expectant eyes, he found it hard to refuse, especially since she had just protected him...

"Alright, I’ll come over after work this afternoon."

"Really? Then it’s settled!"

Lin Jingzhu beamed with delight and eagerly rode away.

Chen Mo pondered secretly.

*It’s just a meal, it should be fine, right?*

*The empress is busy with state affairs, she can’t possibly keep an eye on such trivial matters...*

...

...

Returning to Huai Zhen Fang.

As Chen Mo walked through the entrance of the Government Office, Li Yuan quickly approached him.

"Mr. Chen, there is..."

Slap—

He casually delivered a slap, causing a slight tremor in the hips, then asked, "What is it?"

Li Yuan’s face turned crimson with embarrassment and annoyance, "Someone is here to see you! They’ve been waiting since early morning."

?

Chen Mo turned his head to look.

He then noticed a Daoist nun sitting in a corner, gazing at him with a mysterious aura.

Although he hadn’t intentionally released his divine sense, he could clearly sense the surroundings, yet this Daoist nun was like still water, without any ripple of aura.

Seeing the moon-white Daoist robe and the face obscured by mist, she was indeed the mysterious woman he encountered in front of the inn in Zeyang County.

"Is it you?"

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow.

*What was this person up to, following him from the Northern Territory to Tiandu City?*

Ling Ningzhi stood up, bowed slightly, and said, "I am Qingxuan of Tianshu Pavilion, here to meet Mr. Chen on urgent business."

Her gaze at Chen Mo was somewhat peculiar.

*No wonder General Li dared act so boldly in the Government Office, it turned out that Mr. Chen and his subordinate had such a scandalous relationship!*

*How could my grandfather take interest in such a person?*

"Qingxuan?"

Hearing the name, Chen Mo was suddenly stunned.

*One of the female protagonists in "Unmatched Immortal" was indeed Fairy Qingxuan of Tianshu Pavilion. Could there be such a coincidence in the world?*

His eyes emitted a violet-gold brilliance, dispelling the mist shrouding her face, revealing a face of unparalleled beauty.

Her skin was fairer than snow, with a soft lustrous glow, eyes like stars falling into a clear spring, deep and bright, a delicate nose, lips as red as cherries, and facial contours smoothly elegant, without a hint of flaw.

Her demeanor was as cool and distant as the bright moon, appearing unattainable, yet there was a hint of liveliness in her gaze.

Simultaneously, several lines of tiny script floated before him:

[Tianshu Chief · Green Jade Pin with Hair like Cloud · Ling Ningzhi]

[Level: Fourth-Level Daoist]

[Cultivation Technique: Taiyin Divine Skill]

[Daoist Skill: Sky Brilliance Thunder, Cloud Stairway, Heavenly Heart Silence, All Methods Without Form...]

[Favorability Rating: 0/100 (Locked)]

"It really is her?!"

*According to the timeline, she shouldn’t have left the mountain yet, so why did she suddenly come to Tiandu City... and specifically seek me out?*

*Chen Mo’s mind churned violently.*

*In the original storyline, Ling Ningzhi didn’t appear until the fourth Chapter, and he had no knowledge of what transpired before then.*

Ling Ningzhi frowned slightly. Just a moment ago, she felt a sense of oppression and vaguely a feeling of being seen through.

*Could a fifth-grade martial artist possibly see through her All Methods Without Form?*

*It didn’t seem likely...*

"May I know why Daoist Qingxuan seeks me?" Chen Mo asked aloud.

Ling Ningzhi said, "I have come to request something from Mr. Chen."

Chen Mo curiously asked, "What do I have that could interest the Daoist so much?"

"Heavenly Primordial Spirit Fruit."

Ling Ningzhi was certain that the spirit fruit was with Chen Mo.

She had begged her master to derive the heavenly secret and located the Creation Ancient Tree’s position, calculating that the spirit fruit was about to mature.

From Tianshu Pavilion to Hengjiang Ridge, she had come a long way only to find nothing.

Through the offerings at the Demon Suppression Department, she learned that Chen Mo was swallowed by the Creation Ancient Tree and upon his reemergence, the ancient tree had withered, and the spirit fruit was nowhere to be found...

"Mr. Chen, this spirit fruit is of utmost importance to me. As long as you’re willing to part with it, I will try my best to satisfy any conditions you have," Ling Ningzhi said earnestly.

Chen Mo knew she came prepared and didn’t intend to hide it, saying, "I indeed picked the fruit..."

Ling Ningzhi’s eyes lit up, but then she heard him continue, "But I already ate it."

"Ate it?"

Frowning, Ling Ningzhi said, "The Heavenly Primordial Spirit Fruit is useless to living people and doesn’t enhance cultivation. What did Mr. Chen eat it for? Or do you have reservations, suspecting me to be a fraud?"

Chen Mo spread his hands and said, "The Daoist misunderstood, the fruit wasn’t eaten by me, it was used to save someone."

Ling Ningzhi heard this and fell into silence.
