Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace-Chapter 266 - 265 reversed

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruoqing's eyes widened, suddenly realizing, and reached for the documents in Chen Mo's hand.

Chen Mo raised them high, avoiding her grasp.

"Give it to me." Jiang Ruoqing broke free from Chen Mo's embrace, used her body technique, and reached for it again.

But she was once again avoided by Chen Mo, who teased: "Didn't you say you didn't want it?"

Jiang Ruoqing's face turned red with embarrassment. She hesitated for a while, unable to suppress the shame in her heart, and whispered, "I was wrong."

Chen Mo's smile grew even wider: "What did you say? Speak up, I didn't hear you."

Jiang Ruoqing gritted her teeth, making a cracking sound, then lowered her head and said, "I said I can't, please give me the documents."

Chen Mo tossed the documents to her: "See, if you hadn't said those words before, wouldn't there have been no problem?"

Ignoring him, Jiang Ruoqing eagerly opened the documents and began to read.

"A lustful monk, very fat, First Grade, matches the description of the person who killed your master you mentioned before." Chen Mo said.

"Where is he?" After reading the documents, Jiang Ruoqing asked with a slight tremble in her voice.

"The documents record that on the thirteenth of July, in the third year of Xuanhe, he humiliated the newlywed bride of the Lin family in the Liu family of Yangdu, and afterwards killed the entire Lin family. The old patriarch of the Lin family was a renowned Second-Grade Martial Artist in Jianghu; therefore, the matter was reported to the Imperial City Department, and recorded in the documents.

And Yangdu is over in Jiangnan. It's now early September, not even two months since; he should still be in Jiangnan."

"I'll go to Jiangnan to find him now." Jiang Ruoqing said as she turned to leave.

"You can't even beat me, and you want to avenge him?" Chen Mo said.

Jiang Ruoqing's steps halted, her fists clenched tight, then she turned back, came over, and started taking off her clothes in front of Chen Mo.

"What are you doing?" Chen Mo frowned.

"Sleep with me, help me get revenge." Jiang Ruoqing resolved.

Chen Mo: "..."

"Are you out of your mind?"

"Anyway, you want me to be your canary, isn't it just because you want to sleep with me? Now that I'm being proactive, what are you pretending for." With that, her clothes slipped off, revealing her jade-like body to Chen Mo, only a few pieces of cloth were covering certain areas. Then she hugged him, biting his lips.

"Damn..." Chen Mo pushed her away and picked up the dress on the ground, wrapping it around her: "Don't you have a bit of decorum?"

To be honest, Chen Mo still wanted a bit of romantic entanglement with Jiang Ruoqing, not like Zhang Ru.

"You agreed to it initially." Jiang Ruoqing looked at Chen Mo with red eyes.

"I even helped you find the documents, and personally went to the Imperial City Department for you. Do you think I won't help you avenge?"

Chen Mo began dressing Jiang Ruoqing: "Come on, raise your arms."

Hearing this, Jiang Ruoqing's eyes flickered, watching Chen Mo guide her arms into the sleeves. Her face didn't have Chen Mo's thick skin. She just lost her mind earlier wanting revenge, and now her face turned completely red, wanting to pull away from Chen Mo's hand: "I…I will do it myself."

"Don't move." Chen Mo said, not the least embarrassed: "I've already asked the Imperial City Department to send someone to Jiangnan to investigate for you. Once they find his whereabouts, we'll go together; it's better than you rushing off to Jiangnan now, searching aimlessly like a headless chicken."

Hearing this, Jiang Ruoqing felt a stir in her heart. After pondering for a while, she said: "Tha…Thank you."

"We're family, no need to thank each other." Chen Mo fastened Jiang Ruoqing's buttons. Whether it was intentional or not, his fingers lightly grazed over her curves.

Making Jiang Ruoqing feel deeply embarrassed.

"By the way, what realm are you now?" After fastening her buttons, Chen Mo gently caressed her cheek and asked.

"Se…Second Grade." Jiang Ruoqing felt like ants were crawling on her face.

"I'm not even twenty, and I'm Second Grade." Chen Mo suddenly said.

Jiang Ruoqing raised an eyebrow, surprised, not knowing why Chen Mo asked this.

Chen Mo lowered his head and kissed her forehead: "I'm stronger than you."

"Alright, get some rest, I'm leaving now."

Jiang Ruoqing: "..."

Is he mocking me?

So annoying!

Watching Chen Mo's departing back, Jiang Ruoqing's chest rose and fell, then biting her lip, she said: "Tonight, you... you're not staying?"

Chen Mo paused, then turned back and said: "I'm busy tonight, another time."

...

...

Chen Mo indeed had things to do tonight.

Though he no longer needed to go to Shenxiao Temple.

But earlier, Xiao Teng sent someone over, saying that there's a family banquet at Xiao Mansion tonight, and he should bring Yi Yao to attend.

The time was not early.

...

Somewhere in Jizhou.

The night was pitch black, with pouring rain.

Yet, despite the heavy rain, along the riverbank, rain shelters were set with bonfires, each guarded by an official holding a long whip, a long knife at their waist.

Before these officials were shirtless laborers, carrying shoulder poles or holding hoes, working in the rain.

Looking around, there seemed no end to these laborers, heads bobbing in the distance.

They were conscripted laborers digging canals; the construction period was nearing its end, seeing it could not be completed on time, the officials in charge had them work through the night, even in the heavy rain.

After a busy day, they were already worn out at night.

"I can't do it anymore; I need a break, official, let me rest for a moment."

A middle-aged man just set down his hoe to rest.

With a "snap," a long whip struck his face.

The official wielding the whip shouted sternly while feeling insecure: "No lazing around, if you delay the construction period, can you lowly people take responsibility?"

With that, he lashed down the whip again.

At this moment, there was disturbance from not far away.

Someone shouted: "Something has been dug up, something has been dug up..."

An official went to examine.

He found they unearthed a one-eyed giant, with an inscription on its back.

Among the laborers present, there were those who could read, and they began to recite: "Do not say the stone man has only one eye, when this thing emerges, the world will rebel!"

Boom!

As the words fell, a thunderclap echoed in the night sky.

The surrounding laborers were astounded, looking at each other, then someone recalled the spreading nursery rhyme.

The stone man has one eye, stirring the Yellow River to rebellion across the world.

"Destiny, this is destiny."

"Since they won't let us live, let's fight them."

A burly man charged out of the crowd, seized a moment when the officials hadn't reacted, drew his knife, and stabbed it into an official's belly.

Pulling out the knife, blood gushed out.

Someone shouted: "Brothers, let's fight, revolt."

"Revolt!"

"Revolt!"

...

Those joining the shout grew more, and a riot began.
