Chapter 816 - 906 Little Jiu’s Troubles

Even though they’ve returned, leaving won’t be something they can do in a short time.

Chen Mo has no parents or relatives, so he doesn’t need to say goodbye to them.

But the women do, at this moment, leaving their hometown and being far from their parents, there are, of course, many things to take care of.

Additionally, Xiao Yunxi wants to finish handling matters of the court.

Abdication is abdication, but it’s not as simple as just saying it.

The transition of power, the appointments and removals of officials.

If not handled well, it can cause quite a stir.

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

During these three days, Chen Mo stayed at Prince Zhen Nan’s Mansion, attending to the women.

After all, with so many women, it can’t all be arranged in one night.

The day was still early, and the girls in the inner courtyard were getting up one after the other, with maids coming and going along the corridors.

In the room of Yue Yuxi, a man’s portrait hung on the wall, and that man looked exactly like Chen Mo; the two bookshelves were filled with books on military tactics, and the rest of the space held weapons racks.

In the large curtained bed, Yue Yuxi and Ji Xi’Er were still sound asleep, while Moon Slave, though awake, with cheeks slightly red, was...

Chen Mo half-lay on the bed, stroking Moon Slave’s hair, his expression somewhat odd as he turned his head to study the sleeping Ji Xi’Er to distract himself.

In his view was that expanse of white, even larger than her face.

Though she was already a Third Grade Martial Artist, she was still very weak in front of Chen Mo, and last night she was coaxed by him into all sorts of strange positions, leaving her too tired to move.

Perhaps feeling he had been too harsh, Chen Mo gently raised his hand and caressed Ji Xi’Er’s mature and beautiful face.

"Moon Slave, what are you doing? Pulling radishes?"

Just as Chen Mo was looking at Ji Xi’Er, Yue Yuxi woke up and looked at Moon Slave, who was blushing and sitting while doing mischief, and commented coolly.

Originally, Moon Slave was her favorite.

Ever since she was taken by Chen Mo,

Both she and her favorite became Chen Mo’s women.

Moon Slave’s face flushed red, not daring to look at Yue Yuxi.

However, she was just afraid of the queen, so she raised her head to look at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo raised his hand, grabbed Moon Slave’s arm, pulled her into his embrace, then hugged Yue Yuxi as well, and with a wicked grin said: "Since everyone’s awake, and the weather is so nice, let’s do some morning exercise."

Although Yue Yuxi didn’t fully understand what Chen Mo meant, seeing the mischievous smile on his face, she knew it wasn’t anything good and immediately wanted to talk.

But being held by Chen Mo, where could she escape to?

The most crucial thing was, he even had Moon Slave subdue her.

She and Moon Slave were stacked like a game of twister on the bed, then Chen Mo began to have his way with them...

...

After the morning exercise was over, Chen Mo washed up, and Cao Xiyue came looking for him, asking him to accompany her back to see her parents.

Cao Xiyue’s father was originally a County Magistrate in Jiangnan, but due to a misunderstanding caused by a flower thief, after becoming Chen Mo’s woman, her father’s status also rose with the tide, transforming from a local County Magistrate to a Capital Official.

Since then, her parents have lived in the Capital.

Maybe because the conditions improved, her father even took a concubine and had a younger brother for her.

This made her mother furious.

Their marital relationship also fractured, and although they didn’t divorce, living in the same mansion, they barely spoke a few words a day.

Upon learning this, Chen Mo was slightly taken aback.

However, he wasn’t in a position to comment on Cao Xiyue’s father.

Upon arriving at Cao Mansion, he met the concubine that her father took. Judging by age, she was probably not even twenty, and her appearance was excellent; in a brothel, she could easily rise to be the courtesan.

Seeing this woman, Chen Mo understood why Cao’s father took her as a concubine.

To be honest, if it was the old Chen Mo, encountering this woman, he might also have fallen for her.

But to this current Chen Mo, this woman was just above average.

From Cao Xiyue’s mouth, he learned that this woman was a niece of Cao’s father’s subordinate. To form connections with Prince Zhen Nan’s Mansion, they invited Cao’s father to drink at their house, and when Cao was drunk, presented the niece to him.

This woman was already beautiful and offered herself voluntarily, and with Cao’s father being drunk, it was a case of celestial thunder igniting earthly fire.

Before long, the two hit it off.

Meeting Chen Mo again, Cao’s father’s expression was quite embarrassed.

The reason he took a concubine was mainly to imitate Chen Mo.

It was as if he was saying, "My son-in-law has so many women, and he’s fine.

Why can’t I take just one concubine?"

To Chen Mo, it was good for Cao’s father to take a concubine and have a son.

This way, after he took Cao Xiyue there, they wouldn’t be left without anyone to care for them.

...

It wasn’t just Cao’s father.

Those older folks who followed Chen Mo then, their lives got better, even somewhat luxurious.

Especially Gao Zheng, who married a daughter from a prestigious family and even took a few more concubines.

When Chen Mo visited him, he had more children than himself, all fair and chubby.

And Quan Qiyang, because his sister Qi Nichang was Chen Mo’s woman, and due to their close sibling relationship, after discussing with Wu Xin’Er, let Quan Qiyang marry a girl from the Wu Family.

Though she wasn’t a direct daughter, she was closely related to the main line.

Wu Xin’Er had to call this girl elder cousin.

It counted as strengthening familial ties.

...

Another week passed, all the women’s affairs were settled, just waiting to leave.

Xiao Yunxi also finished her matters and was ready to hold the abdication ceremony, passing the Emperor position of Great Zhou to Wu Lu.

Wu Lu was Chen Mo’s uncle, the Sect Leader of the Wu Family, a First Grade Martial Artist; whether in terms of seniority or background, he was the most suitable to succeed.

Li Weiqiu and Zhang Lie didn’t dare to have any rebellious thoughts.

After all, Wu Lu had Chen Mo behind him.

Of course, Chen Mo also gave Wu Lu a Foundation Establishment Pill and some talisman papers.

These talisman papers could easily eliminate cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

They were Chen Mo’s trump card left for Wu Lu, just in case.

Before the abdication ceremony started.

Chen Mo wanted to take the women to properly tour Canglan Continent before leaving.

But Xiaojun suddenly came to him, insisting on offering herself.

"Xiaojun, what’s wrong?" Chen Mo noticed something off with Xiaojun’s expression.

Because normally when Xiaojun was with him, she always had a smile, looking happy.

But now, she was frowning, with worry in her eyes.

Yet Xiaojun said it was nothing, only that she wanted to be his woman.
