The eunuch in the cold palace: You get the Nine Yang Divine Skill right from the start!

"Ridiculous! Don't forget how Lü Zhang died."

Jiang Xiaoxiao sneered and left, leaving behind a statement that was clearly intended to provoke.

The crowd dispersed.

Ling Shuang said in a low voice, "Actually, Senior Sister Jiang is right. You are more suitable to partner with her."

"There's no need for that."

Shen Mo calmly declined, as he didn't actually need a partner.

A woman like Jiang Xiaoxiao would abandon her partner when they're in trouble; no matter how strong she is, she can't be trusted.

One's own fists are more reliable than one's own fists.

Choosing Ling Shuang was out of consideration for their friendship. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have come into contact with the Divine Arrest Bureau, nor would she have had a series of extraordinary encounters.

Ling Shuang said firmly, "I will work hard to cultivate and strive to catch up with you as soon as possible."

"Take care of yourself."

Shen Mo rode away in silence.

It was already late at night when they returned to the palace.

He entered the Phoenix Palace without any hesitation, only to find the lights still on and Xiao Yishu sitting on the phoenix chair, looking uneasy.

"Silence!"

Upon seeing him, Xiao Yishu finally smiled and jogged over to him, saying, "I felt uneasy the whole day you left the palace. Thankfully, you've returned safely."

Is this a woman's sixth sense?

Really accurate.

Shen Mo looked slightly surprised and took off the Divine Arrest Gate token to present it.

Xiao Yishu recognized him at a glance and exclaimed in surprise, "Top-ranked constable? When did you join the Divine Constable Bureau?"

"I was lucky enough to kill a Blood Core Realm member of the Bai Sha Cult, who had only recently joined the Divine Arresting Sect."

"What?"

Xiao Yishu's expression changed drastically. She quickly reached out and felt around to make sure Shen Mo had no wounds before she felt relieved.

Shen Mo rubbed her head and explained, "That thief was already seriously injured, and I was ambushed, so naturally I was unharmed."

"That won't do!"

Xiao Yishu nestled into his arms, looked up into his eyes, and said earnestly, "Shen Mo, promise me you'll never put yourself in danger again. You're very important to me!"

"Yi Shu, I promise you."

Shen Mo felt as if a warm fire was burning in his heart, spreading outwards.

Perhaps, it's time.

"Yi Shu, I suddenly feel like having a drink."

"I'll stay with you."

Xiao Yishu found two jars of "Drunken Beauty" wine, and naturally chose that pavilion as the location.

She remembered that it was after that night that she finally opened her heart and accepted Shen Mo.

The evening breeze was cool, and a clear moon cast a gentle glow over the night.

Besides wine, the stone table was also set with snacks such as peanuts and melon seeds to accompany the wine.

After taking a deep breath and downing his glass, Shen Mo exclaimed, "Fine wine, delicious food, beautiful scenery, and most importantly, you, my beautiful lady! Tonight is destined to be unforgettable!"

"Shen Mo, I feel like you seem unusually excited tonight?"

As they spent more time together, she became increasingly able to perceive Shen Mo's daily joys and sorrows.

Shen Mo asked, "Yi Shu, if I were a normal man, would you be willing to continue our relationship?"

"Whether you're a eunuch or a normal man, I'm willing!"

Xiao Yishu didn't think much of it and assumed that Shen Mo was just being sentimental, as many eunuchs were quite self-conscious and sensitive about their disabled bodies.

Shen Mo shook his head and said, "Yi Shu, you answered without even thinking about it. I want you to look me in the eye and think it over carefully before you answer."

"good!"

Xiao Yishu did as instructed, gazing into Shen Mo's eyes, their gazes filled with deep affection.

Actually, sometimes she thought that it would be great if Shen Mo were really a man.

Every time she thought this, she was startled by her own idea. It was already strange enough that she, as the empress, had an affair with Shen Mo, a eunuch. If Shen Mo were a normal man, it would be even more extraordinary.

Just thinking about it is exciting!

After a long pause, Xiao Yishu replied earnestly, "Shen Mo, I'm willing! If it's you, I'm willing to do anything."

Shen Mo got the answer he wanted and couldn't help but smile.

Xiao Yishu was unaware of this and thought it was just a little trick he used to manipulate emotions beforehand.

After several rounds of drinks...

Her cheeks were flushed, and her hazy, drunken eyes added a touch of allure. She lay provocatively on the stone table and said:

"Shen Mo, if you're a real man, prove it to me!"

These words were like setting a raging fire on a pile of dry wood.

Shen Mo's thoughts stirred slightly, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly: "Your Majesty, you said it yourself."

"Excellent! Little Mozi, these are my golden words, give them to me quickly."

Xiao Yishu chuckled foolishly, not minding at all playing along with Shen Mo's act, since it was all fake anyway.

Sudden.

Her expression changed abruptly, and the effects of the alcohol wore off considerably. She stood up, saw clearly what had happened, rubbed her temples, and gave a wry smile: "I must have drunk too much!"

Soon, I realized I wasn't seeing things.

This is real! Absolutely genuine!

Xiao Yishu gasped in surprise, covering her mouth as she said, "Shen Mo, you..."

"Your Majesty, I'm actually a fake eunuch!"

Shen Mo answered honestly.

It's unbelievable to think that a lowly eunuch from the cold palace could climb up the social ladder step by step until he conquered the empress as a real man.

This pleasure comes not only from the body, but also from the mind.

"How is that possible? I even went to the castration room to check, and your thing was still soaking in the jar." Xiao Yishu had actually suspected it before; the masculine aura emanating from Shen Mo was completely different from that of other eunuchs.

This has nothing to do with cultivation level, but rather with temperament.

After being castrated, even the most masculine men will gradually become effeminate until they become just like all the other eunuchs.

Now that things had come to this, there was no need to hide it anymore, so Shen Mo answered truthfully: "Your Majesty, I was indeed purified in the palace, but I made up for the damage by using ancestral techniques."

It felt as if a thunderclap had exploded in Xiao Yishu's head.

Oh my god, I had been having an affair with a real man the whole time.

Now, they've even turned a fake relationship into a real one.

Shen Mo countered, "Has Your Majesty changed your mind?"

Xiao Yishu did not answer the question, but asked instead, "Shen Mo, do you really love me? Or do you only love my identity as Empress?"

"To be honest, Your Majesty, I did approach you with ulterior motives at first, but as we spent more time together, you became my only thought. My heart is as clear as day!"

He silently revealed his true feelings.

At this moment, I am more honest than I was that night.

Xiao Yishu asked again, "Shen Mo, look me in the eyes and answer, do you really love me?"

"like!"

Shen Mo nodded firmly, his eyes filled with unprecedented sincerity.

She kissed him as soon as she finished speaking.

Now that they had gotten the answer they wanted and were certain that Shen Mo hadn't lied, whether it was true or false was no longer important.

The important thing is not to waste the present moment.

The chirping of cicadas in the trees and the croaking of frogs in the pond drowned out many soft, sweet moans.

The romance here is known only to the two of them.

Feishuang Palace.

Chu Chengjing, who was already fast asleep, suddenly sneezed. Consort De, who was beside him, quickly got up and asked with concern, "Has Your Majesty been overworked with state affairs lately and worn yourself out?"

"I am in good health."

Chu Chengjing was confident in his physical condition and thought to himself, "Could it be that the situation in the north has taken another turn?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than several sneezes followed.

The commotion lasted for a full hour before it finally subsided. Chu Chengjing frowned and said, "Something must have happened that is detrimental to me. Quickly order someone to present the latest war report to me."
