Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Xia Zhining’s Collapsing Sense of Superiority

This Spirit Fish is indeed different from ordinary fish. The flesh is tender, the soup is tangy and delicious, the yellow parts are smooth and tender, the fish aroma is overwhelming, and the taste is simply indescribable.

The key is that each bite increases experience points, even more than the Purple Sun Turtle.

[Name: Chen Mo.]

[Age: 17.]

[Cultivation Technique: Purple Sun Transformation Skill (Small Success 3416.3/5000).]

[Realm: Qi Refining (Sixth Grade).]

[Power: 290.]

[Skills: Great Sun Qi Slash (Basic 326583/5000000), Cloud-Chasing Arrow (Basic 124/5000).]

Previously, after the Wind-Chasing Arrow advanced, it broke through the tier to become the Cloud-Chasing Arrow.

This Tail-eyed Spirit Fish weighed less than a pound, and Chen Mo finished it in a few bites, gaining about fifty experience points.

Chen Mo sipped the soup. Unfortunately, this fish soup did not add experience points.

“Gurgle…” Just then, the sound of a stomach growling echoed in the side room. Although it was not particularly loud, it was quite clear in the quiet environment.

Both Xia Zhiqing and Chen Mo turned their gazes towards Xia Zhining.

Xia Zhining’s face flushed red, feeling extremely embarrassed, a rosy blush spreading along her elegant neck and cheeks.

“Zhining, you should drink it.” Xia Zhiqing handed over the bowl of fish soup from beside the bed.

Xia Zhining glanced at Chen Mo, sensing his slightly amused gaze. She bit her lip lightly, quickly took the bowl and drank the soup in one go, before saying, “You owe me that, it’s my turn to drink.”

After saying this, she noticed the young man approaching her.

A hint of fear flickered in Xia Zhining’s eyes under her delicate brows, her gaze faltering as she shrank back and said coldly, “What are you up to now?”

Xia Zhiqing, standing nearby, also became worried.

Chen Mo placed the remaining Tail-eyed Spirit Fish soup on the bedside and reached out, seemingly about to touch Xia Zhining’s cheek.

Instinctively, Xia Zhining dodged.

But Chen Mo only wiped her mouth and said, “Eat slowly, there’s more in the pot, share it with your sister.”

After finishing speaking, Chen Mo returned to the table.

Xia Zhining: “…”

The sudden gentleness made her heart have an inexplicable sensation.

However, the fish soup was indeed delicious. Coupled with the thought of reclaiming some interest, Xia Zhining showed no restraint and shared the soup with her sister.

Chen Mo started eating the Snake Scale Purple Fish, which was not as good as the Tail-eyed Spirit Fish and was similar in effect to the Purple Sun Turtle.

[Supplementary meat intake times +0.5, Purple Sun Transformation Skill experience +0.5.]

[…]

What it had over the Purple Sun Turtle was that after eating, it did not cause agitation or a desire to vent, and the energy was more stable.

After roughly a quarter of an hour.

Chen Mo finished eating the two Snake Scale Purple Fish.

This fish had few bones and was very tender, so Chen Mo didn’t even leave the bones and ate them all.

Meanwhile, the sisters finished the pot of fish soup.

Xia Zhiqing looked much better and her limbs were not as sore as before.

Chen Mo called for Chunhong to come in and clean the dishes.

After Chunhong left, Chen Mo sat for a while, then went into the courtyard to practice archery.

His life is quite disciplined and diligent; he didn’t stop until reaching Cloud-Chasing Arrow (Basic 400/5000), then called for Chunhong to bring hot water, washed up briefly, and entered the side room.

Seeing Chen Mo coming in again, closing the door, and starting to remove his clothes, the two girls were both shocked.

Especially Xia Zhining, whose eyes widened in disbelief: “You scoundrel, you don’t plan to humiliate me again, do you?”

“The night is deep, it’s time to rest.” Chen Mo, after taking off his shoes, lay down between the two girls, and then said, “I’ll stay here tonight.”

The two girls’ bodies trembled. This scoundrel actually dared to stay over.

Doesn’t he fear they might kill him while he sleeps?

The two girls distanced themselves from Chen Mo.

But Chen Mo pulled Xia Zhining into his embrace, holding her from behind, while she obviously struggled incessantly.

Chen Mo leaned close to Xia Zhining’s ear and whispered, “Don’t move. I won’t torment you tonight, just want to hold you to sleep. Be good.”

By the time he finished speaking, Chen Mo’s tone was particularly gentle.

Xia Zhining’s heart raced, her body weakening with a mix of shame and anger, clenching her teeth, she said, “You scoundrel, let go of me, aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you once you fall asleep?”

“You don’t have that capability,” Chen Mo said mercilessly.

Xia Zhining: “…”

She twisted and turned her body, refusing to yield.

“If you don’t behave, I’ll spank you.” With a wave of Chen Mo’s hand, the room’s light went out, plunging the room into darkness: “Enough nonsense, time to rest.”

“You, you scoundrel.” Xia Zhining’s words were fierce, but her struggle grew weaker. She wasn’t surrendering; she was planning to kill him once he fell asleep.

“You venomous woman, although you’re a bit malicious, you’re still quite comfortable to hold.” Chen Mo said truthfully while picking a snow pear.

Zhi Ning’s body was icy cold, making it quite comfortable in the sultry summer night.

Upon hearing these half-complimentary words, Zhi Ning surprisingly felt a slight sense of pleasure in her heart, which startled her. She hurriedly slapped away his teasing hand, her soft voice carrying a touch of coldness, saying, “Don’t be rude.”

Chen Mo stopped teasing and said, “I’m going to sleep now. Don’t think about killing me while I’m asleep. If you fail, it’ll be a hundred lashes more, and leaving here will be out of reach.”

With that, he embraced Zhi Ning and closed his eyes.

Zhi Ning bit her lip, saying nothing.

An hour later, noticing his steady breathing and lack of movement, Zhi Ning opened her eyes, pretended to turn over casually, and slipped out from Chen Mo’s embrace without waking him.

Raising her eyebrows, Zhi Ning felt for a hairpin under the pillow.

Just as she was about to act, Xia Zhiqing’s voice rang out, “Zhi Ning, don’t mess around.”

Yes, Xia Zhiqing couldn’t sleep either. Just having her purity lost, how could she sleep soundly?

“Sister, he’s asleep.” Zhi Ning whispered.

“Don’t mess around, you forget your promise to me.” Xia Zhiqing said.

Upon hearing this, Zhi Ning reluctantly stopped, silently putting the hairpin down and lying back unsatisfied.

“You should thank your sister.”

Suddenly, Chen Mo’s voice sounded.

The sisters shivered in surprise.

Zhi Ning furrowed her brows, this bastard wasn’t asleep either, but her heart breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Mo lifted his arm, saying, “Get back in here, or I’ll do it myself.”

Zhi Ning’s face showed uncertainty, silently cursing the scheming guy, but she obediently shrank back into his arms.

Chen Mo opened his eyes, his expression enigmatic.

Although Zhi Ning wasn’t as gentle as her sister Xia Zhiqing, it was precisely her strong and outlandish nature, coupled with her status as the magistrate’s daughter, that easily sparked thoughts of conquest, domination, and discipline…

However, Xia Zhiqing was indeed an uncontrollable factor, needing to be steadily suppressed each time; otherwise, there was a danger of falling out of control.

This was a long-term process, Chen Mo wasn’t in a hurry.

As night passed.

The next day, as the east sky brightened, sunlight shone through the windows.

Chen Mo opened his eyes, he hadn’t slept a wink.

To be honest, still uneasy, and choosing to sleep here was primarily an adaptability test.

And Zhi Ning, snug in his arms, at this moment like a pitiful little kitten, curled up in a bundle.

Simultaneously, he felt softness from behind.

During the latter half of the night, the sleeping Xia Zhiqing also embraced him. The warm and gentle Miss Xia didn’t sleep particularly gracefully; one leg was draped over him.

[Absorbed a strand of Solar Purple Qi, Purple Sun Transformation Skill experience +1.]

By this time, sunlight had been shining on him for about two minutes, the Solar Purple Qi had circulated through his body, absorbed into his Dantian.

He sat up, casually waved, and a strand of Solar Purple Qi flew out. The window opened, with no obstruction, the morning light fully striking the couch.

“So bright…” The sisters woke one after another.

Xia Zhiqing, realizing she was completely naked and understanding the current situation, quietly pulled the thin blanket nearby and covered herself.

Still sleepy, Zhi Ning opened her eyes, said, “Chunhong, close the window,” then seemed to continue sleeping, until she turned and caught sight of Chen Mo, waking her suddenly.

Chen Mo was enveloped in a purple glow, his chest muscles were full, abdominal muscles were well-defined, arm muscles tight and powerful, and he had a delicate face with clear lines, exuding determination and confidence between his brows.

For a brief moment, Zhi Ning was quite captivated until her sister mentioned “Solar Purple Qi,” snapping her back to reality.

After some inspection, it was indeed the Solar Purple Qi.

Previously, when Chen Mo used a purple Innate Spiritual Qi, the sisters hadn’t thought much of it, as many types of Innate Spiritual Qi were purple.

Take Grass and Wood Spiritual Qi, for instance, a purple Grass and Wood Spiritual Qi is emitted by a certain spirit flower, its power stronger than ordinary Grass and Wood Spiritual Qi.

The sisters knew more than Yi Qianchi.

This basic level Innate Spiritual Qi had varying strengths; Jiangnan had a Cangsong Forest with trees over a thousand years old, where the Grass and Wood Spiritual Qi was thousand-year-old spiritual Qi.

The breeze blowing through the forest carried more potent Little Qing Spirit Qi than elsewhere.

So previously, the sisters hadn’t suspected Solar Purple Qi.

After all, a mere commoner, how could he perceive, and absorb Innate Purple Qi?

Achieving that requires advanced cultivation techniques and super strong perception, both unattainable for the lower classes.

The sisters both showed disbelief.

At this moment, they recalled Chunhong mentioning that “the county magistrate is the reincarnation of Immortal God.”

Looking at it this way, isn’t Chen Mo just the reincarnation of an Immortal God?

“You… you lowly commoner, how can you perceive the Solar Purple Qi?” Zhi Ning’s sense of superiority crumbled at that moment.

“Is it that difficult?”

Chen Mo pulled Zhi Ning closer, lifted her leg, smiled, and said, “Since you’re awake, let’s settle the debt first.”
