Chapter 434: Chapter 178 (Quick Read) The Empress’s Remote Synchronization! The Fairy’s Service! Caught Again!!
?
Chen Mo’s expression was a bit stiff.
Suddenly he remembered the first time he met this Earth Master Thousand Households, the other party asked him if he wanted to engage in Dual Cultivation, and "Dong Xuanzi Yin Yang Thirty-Six Skills" was created by them and now this cultivation technique had been perfected by him...
All this time, he had long forgotten about it, but unexpectedly Ye Zi’e kept thinking about him?
Coming to his senses, Chen Mo shook his head and said, "Mr. Ye, don’t joke around. According to the Government Office’s code of conduct, colleagues should keep their emotions and personal matters in check, let alone something like Dual Cultivation which is a serious breach of discipline."
"Tsk, Mr. Chen is really law-abiding."
Ye Zi’e raised an eyebrow playfully and said, "But how come I’ve heard that Mr. Chen has a close relationship with his General? It seems that things aren’t completely innocent between you two, right?"
"..."
Chen Mo was speechless for a moment.
Though he and Li Yuan weren’t exactly flamboyant, always keeping a proper distance in front of others, many things couldn’t be hidden, observant people could still see the clues.
This was no secret within the Government Office, and to be known by Ye Zi’e was quite normal.
"The so-called rules of conduct are just a token formality, hardly enforced by anyone."
"Besides, we’re just going about things as we need, without discussing feelings, once we leave this restaurant, we’re still colleagues. Who could know of our relationship?"
Ye Zi’e smiled softly and asked, "So what do you think, Mr. Chen?"
Chen Mo frowned, puzzled, and asked, "Why is Mr. Ye so persistent about this?"
"Out of ten thousand Heavenly Pride competing on the path of cultivation, merely a few have passed the Dragon Gate." Ye Zi’e drained the wine in her cup, shook her head and said, "In terms of talent, I don’t think I’m inferior to others, I was once a Heavenly Pride ranked in the top ten of the Cloud Top Ranking, yet now I’m stuck in the Fourth Rank, stagnating for years, unable to progress."
"The world’s geniuses are like fish swimming downstream but stepping into the Heavenly Human Realm is extremely rare."
"If I can’t find a breakthrough opportunity, I fear I’ll be trapped here forever, ending up like Bai Lingchuan."
"Dual Cultivation is the best way I can think of at the moment."
Chen Mo could understand that.
Dual Cultivation is indeed a form of cultivation. If both parties are compatible enough, it can genuinely advance one’s realm, which he personally experienced deeply.
But the question is, why him?
"I have only crossed paths with Mr. Ye a few times..."
"I know what you’re trying to ask."
Ye Zi’e interrupted and said, "Once deciding to Dual Cultivate, naturally, one must find a suitable target, whose realm not only matches mine but also has outstanding talent, and if I find them pleasing to the eye, all the better."
She drank as her cheeks flushed slightly, softly saying, "In the entire Sky Scale Guard, aside from Mr. Chen, I really don’t see anyone else worth considering, I’ve been waiting patiently for you to reach the Fourth Rank for quite a while."
"..."
Chen Mo’s mouth twitched slightly.
This woman is treating him like a growth project?
Ye Zi’e looked at him seductively and said, "Rest assured Mr. Chen, I am very clean, still a virgin to this day, you’re the first man to have touched me."
Chen Mo shook his head and said, "Sorry, I refuse."
Ye Zi’e’s expression stiffened and she frowned, asking, "Does Mr. Chen find me not beautiful enough?"
Chen Mo smiled and said, "Mr. Ye is in her prime, radiant and naturally very beautiful."
Ye Zi’e asked puzzled, "Then why are you unwilling?"
In her view, this was a win-win situation for Chen Mo.
"I indulge in pleasures but do not revel in licentiousness, I might not be a perfect gentleman, but some things do require feelings, being overly utilitarian actually diminishes interest." Chen Mo said indifferently.
Speaking honestly, Ye Zi’e’s features were elegant, her figure graceful, and she was undeniably a first-rate beauty.
For someone of her position, willing to lower herself, logically speaking, an average man couldn’t refuse such temptation.
But Chen Mo wasn’t an average man.
As the Empress’ favored technician, the Queen’s confidant, the master of the number one beauty on the Rouge List... this was not even a challenge for him, leaving him completely unmoved.
Ye Zi’e’s actions were eccentric and defiant of convention, teaming up with such a woman could lead to unpredictable major troubles!
He already owed enough romantic debts and really didn’t want more trouble.
"Feelings?"
Ye Zi’e appeared slightly surprised.
She hadn’t expected that Chen Mo’s reason for refusal would be so "childish."
We were merely using each other for what we needed, is there a necessity to fall in love before Dual Cultivation?
This is much too troublesome!
"Mr. Chen, are you sure you won’t reconsider?"
"No need, if Mr. Ye has no other matters, I will take my leave, there are still many official duties waiting to be handled at the Government Office."
With that, Chen Mo stood up and walked away.
Ye Zi’e held her wine cup leisurely, not stopping him.
Yet, just as he reached the front door, Chen Mo’s steps halted, suddenly feeling a bit dizzy and overwhelmed with a rush of heat.
"What’s happening..."
"Feeling hot? Then it’s working."
Ye Zi’e’s voice came from behind.
Chen Mo suddenly snapped back, turned his head and said, "You drugged me?! That’s impossible, I never touched the food or drink on the table, how could it affect me?"
"Because I didn’t put the drug in the wine, but sprayed it inside the carriage." Ye Zi’e said with a mischievous smile, "I acquired this ’Dragon Yang Boiling Blood Powder’ specially from the black market, it’s colorless and tasteless, extremely hard to notice, even monks with pure minds can’t resist it."
"Relax, this Dragon Yang Powder is just an excitant, harmless to the body, after Dual Cultivation, you’ll naturally return to normal."
?
Chen Mo never expected this woman to be so unscrupulous!
