"From beginning to end, he was the one bullying me! Whether indecent or confessing, it’s all this little thief’s willful actions... I have absolutely no feelings for him!"
The Empress shook her head vigorously, wanting to shake off these distracting thoughts.
Yet inexplicably, Lin Jingzhu’s words while bathing slipped into her mind:
[Not seeing him for a few days already makes me miss him. Seeing him brings joy. When he’s hurt, my heart aches as if being churned by a knife...]
Upon reflection, she indeed often thought of Chen Mo, and his annoying face lingered before her eyes, refusing to go away.
Every time she saw Chen Mo, she became quite angry.
But she had to admit, whether it was the underwear or the Youthful Elixir, they were quite to her liking, adding much color to her dull life. Deep down, she was actually very happy.
Seeing Chen Mo’s tragic state on the arena almost drove her crazy enough to recklessly decide to kill Shi Yun.
"Seems like every point matches?"
"Could it be that I also... no, it can’t be..."
The Empress looked somewhat baffled. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, blush spreading from her cheeks to her neck like the glorious sunset sky.
She buried her burning cheeks into the bedding, rolling around the bed in a formless way.
"I’m doomed..."
...
...
The night was deep, silence enveloped everything.
In the study of the Prince Yu Mansion, Chu Heng sat dark-faced, fingers tapping on the desk.
"Unexpectedly, Chen Mo’s growth rate is this rapid, even Shi Yun isn’t his match!"
The events at the Heavenly Human Martial Exam completely caught him off guard.
Chen Mo was a huge upset, eliminating Ling Ningzhi in the first round, and then in front of everyone, tearing apart Shi Yun’s Arhat Golden Body! Becoming the new Qingyun Leaderboard top!
Bear in mind, he is just twenty years old and only a Fifth Grade Martial Artist!
If he doesn’t die young, reaching the Grandmaster realm is almost certain!
"No wonder both the Empress and Consort Yu are so attentive to him, they must have seen his potential long ago... This Martial Examination made him the center of attention. Moving against him in the future will be incredibly difficult..."
"But fortunately, my identity isn’t revealed, and I haven’t directly clashed with him, so there’s no rush for now."
"Right now, the priority is to obtain the Array Map."
Chu Heng stroked his chin, pondering, "That old man Ling Yishan is indeed tough to handle..."
The old butler standing behind him spoke lowly, "I heard Ling Ningzhi went down the mountain to collect Immortal Materials to extend Ling Yishan’s life, perhaps we can start from there."
"Hmm..."
Chu Heng fell into contemplation.
