Chapter 1047 - 1055: Farewell, Fairy Yi (2)

Although Madam Xiao is over forty, due to proper maintenance and consuming Nalan Yiren's Beauty Pill, and the Fire Spirit Pill given by Chen Mo, her Realm advancement has kept her appearance looking youthful, akin to a ripe peach.

Noticing Chen Mo's gaze heating up, Madam Xiao boldly pressed his head down, guiding him towards her trembling bosom.

The women observing this scene blushed but weren't surprised, as they were accustomed to such unreserved displays of intimacy.

"Let me bask in Xuelan sister's good fortune."

She extended her delicate arm, her slender jade fingers moving adeptly…

Chen Mo was momentarily blinded by the mountains before him, only able to feel the intoxicating scent in the air, and the next moment, he felt as if he had returned to another home.

The women saw that the topic had quickly shifted to business, their cheeks burning like sunset, yet apart from Xingyao with Lin Xuelan and Yang Qingqing, none of them left.

The day, meant to be wonderful, was instead spent in frivolity.

No matter how hard Chen Mo tried.

Until December, aside from Lin Xuelan, none of the women in the palace showed any signs of pregnancy.

On New Year's Day, Chen Mo returned to the Capital.

For him now, traveling from Chaoping County back to Celestial River, without rest, would only take one day and night, twelve hours to rush back.

Thus, if anything urgent occurred, Chen Mo could return without delay.

On the night of the first day of the New Year.

In Chen Mo's bedchamber.

Outside the window, shadows flickered in the cold wind, shaking the lanterns under the eaves, while inside, the room was warm and fragrant like spring, with the dragon-embroidered golden canopy carrying the slight scent of osmanthus.

Wu Mi, Han Anniang, Yi Shiyin, Xia Zhiqing, Xia Zhining, Song Min, along with Chen Mo, almost filled the Dragon Bed, leaving not a head-sized space uncovered.

Among them, aside from Han Anniang and Song Min, Wu Mi and the others had reached Spirit Platform Realm, albeit just the first layer.

Yet even so, they could practice Esoteric Dual Cultivation Technique.

"Zhining, move a bit, you're stepping on my hair." Xia Zhiqing nudged Xia Zhining.

"Can't move, I'm already squished like a meat pie." Xia Zhining was uncomfortable.

Chen Mo chuckled.

Seeing Chen Mo smile, Xia Zhining pinched his waist in frustration, "It's all your fault, and you're still laughing!"

"Alright, alright, my fault." Chen Mo lifted Xia Zhining onto himself, creating some space.

Xia Zhining's cold yet beautiful face flushed like sunset, she gave a soft hum of protest but didn't comment further.

Wu Mi, lying on the innermost side, took Chen Mo's arm, resting her head on it, gently said, "Your Majesty, Jia'er has grown up; it's time to find a marriage for him."

In the blink of an eye, counting by age, Chen Jia is already twelve, and as the Crown Prince of Great Wei, it's time to arrange a marriage.

"Has Mi'Er found someone suitable?" Chen Mo asked.

"Elder Geng has a daughter named Geng Zhensu. I've met her, and she's quite intelligent for her age, with a pretty appearance." Wu Mi replied.

"How old?" Chen Mo recalled Geng Songfu's children were quite young.

"Eight years old." Wu Mi said.

Chen Mo's face darkened, "That's too young."

Of course, Chen Mo had the view of a Transmigrator; in this Small World, it wasn't considered too young, and it was just a betrothal, not a marriage.

But since Chen Mo had expressed himself, Wu Mi could only suggest someone else, "Does Your Majesty remember Han Wu?"

Han Anniang, lying at the foot of the bed, showed a slight reaction but didn't speak up.

Chen Mo certainly remembered, Han Wu had followed him since he began his rise, and he was related to An Niang, "What's the matter?"

"He has a young daughter of sixteen, whom I've met; she's grown into a sleek beauty, though she's of humble birth, she can be Jia'er's Consort." Wu Mi said.

Hmm, this sounded more reasonable.

Chen Mo said, "Then Mi'Er, make the arrangements. If possible, let Jia'er meet her first, see if he likes her."

Wu Mi nodded, "I know what to do."

After discussing the Crown Prince's marriage, Xia Zhiqing spoke again.

Her children were older than Chen Jia's.

Since the Crown Prince's marriage was arranged, Chen Nuo and Chen You could be arranged too.

Chen Mo felt a headache; they were competing, so he said, "The children are still young; there's no rush to arrange their marriages. We can wait a few more years 'til they come of age."

Chen Nuo wasn't the Crown Prince, so no need to rush.

As for Chen You, she's a daughter.

Compared to his sons finding love early, Chen Mo was reluctant for his daughter to be married off soon.

...

After New Year's, Chen Mo stayed in the Capital for a few more days before returning to the palace in Chaoping County. Cultivation was important.

The Ninth Year of Zhen Guan, March.

While cultivating, Chen Mo suddenly felt something, opened his eyes, and took out the Soul Jade given by Huang Yi from the Qiankun Bracelet, discovering that it had shattered.

Chen Mo's eyebrows raised slightly, realizing Huang Yi had something urgent to discuss with him.

He quickly found Nangong Ru and the others, informed them that he would be leaving with no set date of return.

After making arrangements, Chen Mo swiftly left Chaoping County, flying overseas.

Three days later, Chen Mo arrived at the sea region of Ancient Luo Kingdom.

Using the Array, Chen Mo entered the now barren "Immortal Island."

Shortly after he arrived, he sensed a familiar aura approaching from the horizon.

Despite it being daytime, Chen Mo seemed to see a ray of moonlight piercing through the clouds, as a Fairy stepped across the void, with each step leaving a Cyan Lotus shadow in her wake.

Her airy blue-white dress floated gently in the wind, and from afar, her waist adornments emitted a clear ringing sound.

Soon, Huang Yi gracefully landed about half a yard from Chen Mo.

Indeed, her feet remained half an inch above ground, undisturbed by earthly dust.

Although five years had passed, Huang Yi hadn't changed in Chen Mo's eyes.

Still as beautiful as ever, with delicate features, snow-white skin smooth and glowing with a soft radiance, crystal clear like jade.

"Chen Mo, you're here."

Huang Yi's voice was still pleasant, warm and ethereal, and Chen Mo adeptly noticed that the distance in her tone had vanished.

"Fairy Yi." Chen Mo bowed.

"Why are you still in Spirit Platform Realm? No wait, how is your Primordial Spirit in Celestial Spirit Realm? Huh?"

Huang Yi sensed Chen Mo's cultivation and noticed something amiss, then said in surprise, "You've practiced Body Refining?"

Chen Mo knew it couldn't be concealed, nor had he intended to hide it, then frankly revealed his Spirit Platform 9th Layer status.

"What? That's impossible…"

Hearing this, Huang Yi's eyebrows raised with shock, quickly murmuring disbelief.

Her astonishment was palpable; she reached out directly, grasping Chen Mo's wrist, injecting a strand of her Soul Power into him, checking internally.

Moments later, she staggered back two steps, her face filled with surprise.

Chen Mo had never seen Huang Yi react like this, he inquired, "Fairy Yi, what's wrong?"

Yet Huang Yi didn't answer him, deep in thought as if verifying something.

Moments passed before she gravely spoke, "It's actually the Spirit Race's Path to Immortality."

"Huh?" Chen Mo was puzzled.

Huang Yi explained, "In the Human Race's cultivation system, Spirit Platform caps at the seventh layer, only the Spirit Race's Celestial Court cultivation system posits nine-layer Spirit Platform, also termed Path to Immortality. Initially, seeing your ninth layer platform left some doubts, but upon seeing the Golden Crow on your Spirit Platform, based on my knowledge, this indicates you've embarked on the Spirit Race's Path to Immortality."

"It puzzles me how someone of the Human Race could have the Spirit Race's Path to Immortality?"

Spirit Race feasts on Dragons, Phoenixes, and other Divine Beasts; Golden Crow is part of their diet, and members of Spirit Race can obtain Beast Spirit from consuming Divine Beasts, transforming and commanding their own Dharma Aspect.

The Golden Crow on Chen Mo's Dantian Spirit Platform reminded Huang Yi of Divine Beast Dharma Aspect.

But in Small World, where would one find a Golden Crow to eat?
