Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

"You...you mustn't touch there..."

Xia Youyue couldn't help but shrink back.

"Where? Here?"

Lin Mo deliberately mischievously pinched her waist.

"ah!"

Xia Youyue sprang up suddenly, like a carp just pulled ashore, splashing water all over Lin Mo's face.

Lin Mo stopped joking.

He pressed his palm against her smooth back, and his chaotic true essence flowed into her palm.

The dark, stagnant body has been inactive for a long time, causing blockages in its meridians.

Lin Mo planned to rinse it off for her.

This is the dark core of the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, and it must be properly repaired.

The dark golden true essence, like a raging dragon, forcefully smashed open those blocked meridians.

"Well……"

Xia Youyue bit her lower lip tightly.

The surrounding pool water cooled down at a visible rate, and a thin layer of frost spread across the surface.

Lin Mo increased his true energy output.

Extreme cold and extreme heat collided wildly within her body.

"What did you do to me? I'm so cold... and so hot..."

Xia Youyue's jaw trembled, her blind eyes staring straight ahead.

"I'll give you a full-body spa treatment to unblock your meridians."

Lin Mo pressed down on her shifting shoulders.

Half an hour passed.

The frost on the water's surface melted.

Xia Youyue's originally pale skin now had a healthy pinkish hue.

The black impurities were expelled through the pores and then washed away by the pool water.

Her natural beauty, which is 99/100, has finally come to the fore.

Her skin was as white as snow, and her features were exquisite.

The black cloth covering the eyes did not detract from the beauty; instead, it added a touch of ascetic allure.

Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction.

The late emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was truly blind.

It's such a waste to leave such a wonderful daughter to gather dust in the cold palace.

He grabbed a large bath towel from the jade steps and wrapped Xia Youyue up like a dumpling.

Then he hoisted it onto his shoulder and strode out of the bath.

outside the temple.

Li Dequan waited with several eunuchs.

I saw Lin Mo carrying out a dripping "zongzi" (rice dumpling).

Li Dequan quickly lowered his head.

"Your Majesty. In broad daylight..."

"So what if it's broad daylight? Can't I work overtime?"

Lin Mo glanced at him.

"Go to Qianqing Palace."

"The walls of the Qianqing Palace aren't finished yet..."

Li Dequan whispered a reminder.

"Then let's go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation!"

"As you command!"

Xia Youyue was so shaken around that she was completely disoriented before she slowly woke up.

Are you done washing?

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the process was extremely humiliating, at least it's over.

"Please arrange a place for me to stay."

Xia Youyue leaned on Lin Mo's shoulder.

"Going back to the Cold Palace is fine with me, I'm not picky."

Lin Mo ignored her.

He walked straight into the Hall of Mental Cultivation and came to a large, soft couch.

thump.

Xia Youyue was thrown onto the soft brocade quilt.

She groped her way to sit up.

The air was filled with the scent of ambergris.

The fabric on the tatami mat was smooth and soft, definitely not the tattered cotton stuffing found in the cold palace.

"Where is this?"

Xia Youyue shrank back.

Lin Mo tore off his soaked casual clothes and threw them on the ground.

"My bedchamber."

Xia Youyue gripped the edge of the bath towel tightly with both hands.

"Why did you bring me to the bedchamber?!"

Lin Mo placed his hands on either side of Xia Youyue's body, trapping her in a small space.

"Now that we've washed up, it's time to get down to business."

Lin Mo leaned closer, his warm breath brushing against Xia Youyue's face.

"I am a tyrant. Isn't a tyrant's daily routine all about indulging in women?"

Xia Youyue panicked.

She is blind, but not stupid.

This man is clearly trying to take advantage of you and then leave you for good!

"Don't touch me!"

Xia Youyue kicked her legs wildly, desperately trying to shrink into the corner of the bed.

Lin Mo grabbed her ankle and pulled hard.

Xia Youyue slid back down to Lin Mo's feet.

"Why are you running? Weren't you holding on tight in the water just now?"

"That's because I'm afraid of water!"

Xia Youyue, blind, stared directly in Lin Mo's direction.

"You can't touch me!"

Give me a reason.

Lin Mo stared at her.

Xia Youyue's chest heaved violently.

"I'm a cursed lone star! I'll bring misfortune to my family and friends!"

"I'm cursed by bad luck; whoever touches me will be doomed!"

Lin Mo almost burst out laughing.

"this one?"

Xia Youyue grew anxious and raised her voice.

"Don't you believe me! My mother was beaten to death with sticks the day she gave birth to me. That's what you call 'cursing one's mother'!"

"The old woman who fed me went to fetch water from the well, slipped, fell into the dry well, and died. That's my bad luck!"

"And that stray cat in the cold palace, no one took care of it. It ate half a steamed bun I fed it, and the next day it got bitten by a dog!"

Xia Youyue became more and more excited as she spoke.

"I can see causal lines! My causal lines are all filled with black death energy!"

"If you touch me, you will die! I will destroy the entire empire of the Great Qian Dynasty!"

Xia Youyue bit her lower lip tightly, waiting for Lin Mo's reaction.

Most people would run away as soon as they heard such words; who would want to associate with a cursed lone star?

however.

Lin Mo didn't back down; instead, he moved even closer, their noses almost touching.

"Are you done talking?"

Xia Youyue was stunned.

"Aren't you afraid?"

Lin Mo scoffed.

"Your mother was ordered to be beaten to death by your dead father. This is called intentional homicide. The murderer is the old emperor of the Xia family. If you want revenge, go find him."

"Your nanny slipped and fell to her death while fetching water from the well. This is a case of substandard palace infrastructure, with a dry well left uncovered. We need to hold the Ministry of Works accountable for this."

"As for the stray cat being bitten by the dog, that's a sign of poor management of stray animals."

Lin Mo pinched Xia Youyue's chin.

"Why do you always try to pin the blame on yourself? Do you really enjoy being a scapegoat?"

"Speaking like a broken record, are you preparing for graduate school?"

"Tell me, which of these three things did you do yourself? Hmm?"

Xia Youyue was speechless when asked the question, feeling as if her values ​​were being brutally rubbed into the ground.

"But...but what about my causal connections..."

"Stop obsessing over your cause-and-effect relationship. This is a classic case of victim-blaming. You've been brutally manipulated by those feudal and superstitious eunuchs and palace maids."

Lin Mo released her chin, his fingers sliding down her cheek.

The skin is smooth and feels wonderful to the touch.

"Even if we take a step back and say that you really are a cursed lone star."

Lin Mo's lips curled into a smile.

"That's perfect. My fate is too tough, and I need a jinx to counteract it."

"Today I'll see whether your lonely star is stronger or my fate is stronger."

Xia Youyue was completely dumbfounded.

This man must be insane! He's not even afraid of death!

"You...you..."

Xia Youyue struggled for a long time, but couldn't utter a single complete sentence.

Lin Mo flipped his wrist and grabbed the edge of the bath towel.

Splash!

The bath towel was torn off.

Xia Youyue exclaimed in surprise, covering her chest with her hands.

"You're insane! The Great Xia Dynasty perished because of me! Do you really think you're so tough you can defy the will of Heaven?!"

Lin Mo pressed down on him.

He grabbed Xia Youyue's wrists with both hands and pressed them above her head.

"The Way of Heaven?"

Lin Mo lowered his head, his nose touching Xia Youyue's nose.

"Perhaps it is the will of Heaven that has sent me to save you."

Xia Youyue shook her head desperately.

"No... the threads of cause and effect have already begun to entangle you... there are more and more red threads..."

She "saw" it.

Countless red causal threads spread out from her body and tightly wrapped around Lin Mo.

The threads tightened more and more, as if they were trying to strangle him.

Xia Youyue had lived for more than ten years and had only ever seen black death aura and gray lines of bad luck.

This was the first time she had ever seen such a blood-red thread.

This is a curse that is far more terrifying than death energy!

"Fine, I'll stick with you then! Today, I'm determined to defy fate!"

Lin Mo lowered his head without hesitation, precisely silencing that chattering little mouth.

"Hmm!"

Xia Youyue exclaimed in surprise.

All resistance and warnings were silenced.

The cool lips touched Lin Mo's scalding temperature; extreme cold and extreme heat collided once again.

Xia Youyue's mind went blank.
