Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

Chapter 665: 748

Chen Mo frowned.

What is she trying to do?

According to the simulation, if she doesn’t recognize it, she could be seriously injured.

And in this kind of competition, he couldn’t intervene.

Nangong Yue clenched her hands, murmuring in her heart, "Sister, what are you doing? Get out now!"

Nangong Yue’s inner voice was naturally heard by Nangong Xue.

Nangong Xue murmured, "Retreating without a fight is not the Nangong family’s principle. Even if we lose, we must lose with dignity."

"But, sister, there might be life..."

"Little Yue, lend me your strength." Before Nangong Yue finished speaking, she was interrupted by Nangong Xue.

Soon, Nangong Xue’s strength on the field increased.

She did not take the initiative to attack but vigilantly observed her surroundings, guarding against others’ sneak attacks.

Quickly, she was targeted.

There were at least twenty to thirty people.

Obviously, it was arranged by Song Jun and Feng Hao.

Although the number wasn’t as many as in Chen Mo’s round, it was still not something Nangong Xue at the Middle Stage Foundation Establishment could handle.

Although Nangong Xue’s strength was now enhanced, at the Middle Stage Foundation Establishment, she was only considered average in the Outer Sect.

The disciples Song Jun and Feng Hao arranged in this match included many at the Middle Stage Foundation Establishment and even some at the Late Stage Foundation Establishment.

Soon, waves of True Qi attacks landed on Nangong Xue.

This left her in a terrible state, making her vomit several mouthfuls of blood.

This feeling transferred to Nangong Yue.

Although she didn’t vomit blood, she could still experience the pain, especially after lending her strength to Nangong Xue, she was in a weakened state, making the pain hard to bear.

Sitting right next to Chen Mo, the agony made her body fall towards him, landing right in Chen Mo’s embrace.

"Miss Nangong Yue, what’s wrong?" Chen Mo’s expression changed slightly upon seeing cold sweat bead on Nangong Yue’s forehead, her body twitching and slightly curling as if enduring great pain.

Nangong Yue’s condition quickly caught the attention of Zhao Qianyi, Jiang Ruoqing, and Xiao Jiu.

Initially, Zhao Qianyi thought Nangong Yue was pretending to get close to Chen Mo, but soon realized the pain she was experiencing was real, too real.

Zhao Qianyi was puzzled, wondering how she turned out like this.

Sitting here, no one touched her.

Could it be she had a hidden illness that just happened to flare up?

But during the previous time spent together, this hadn’t been discovered...

"Sister... Sister..." Nangong Yue mumbled unclearly, tightly gripping Chen Mo’s hand, the immense pain twisting her delicate face.

"Sister?"

Chen Mo looked towards Nangong Xue on the battlefield and noticed that every time she was attacked, Nangong Yue’s face turned a shade paler.

"What’s going on here?"

Seeing Nangong Yue’s dire state, Chen Mo, unable to figure it out, shouted towards the field, "Nangong Xue, recognize quickly."

However, it was already too late. A disciple heavily struck Nangong Xue on the back, sending her flying out of the plaza.

And at that moment, Nangong Yue fainted.

Still unaware of what exactly happened, he could only take out some elixirs that recover internal injuries and put them in Nangong Yue’s mouth since it didn’t look like an external injury.

Then instructed Xiao Jiu to bring Nangong Xue up and head towards the Medicine Hall.

The current situation obviously required a healer from the elders.

And the healing was not free, requiring points for the consumption of materials.

Of course, the points spent were for the materials used; the fee for the elder’s service was free.

Upon inspection.

Just like in the simulation, Nangong Xue was severely injured, but fortunately, it wasn’t an irreparable injury. Careful nursing for a period would do.

As for Nangong Yue, she just fainted.

No other injuries were found.

As for the cause of the fainting, the elder was unsure.

The points consumed, naturally, were paid by Chen Mo.

"Take them back to the Suoxian Courtyard to recover. Staying in the Medicine Hall consumes points daily."

...

Xiao Jiu didn’t take care of people unless it was Chen Mo.

However, Nangong Xue and Nangong Yue were not.

Both of them were unconscious and couldn’t enter their rooms, so Nangong Xue was temporarily taken to Zhao Qianyi’s room for her to look after.

And Nangong Yue was taken to Jiang Ruoqing’s room.

Chen Mo came in together.

Because he carried Nangong Yue in.

"What’s her condition? How did she suddenly fall unconscious?"

Jiang Ruoqing, in her words, removed her Outer Sect disciple robe and stored it in the Qiankun Ring, revealing a blue long dress underneath, the hem not reaching far, just to the knees.

She sat on a chair by the room’s table, after all, it was her room, Nangong Yue was unconscious, and she and Chen Mo were an old couple, so she wasn’t concerned. She lifted her dress hem and crossed her right leg over her left, revealing her jade-like calf.

This action also made the dress tighten, outlining a very full hip line, and even through the dress, the thighs felt smooth and delicate.

"Not sure, probably related to her sister."

Chen Mo turned back and saw this scene, making him feel itchy-hearted. He intended to leave since there was a competition tomorrow and needed rest, but now he changed his mind, sitting next to Ruoqing, skillfully picking up the teapot, and pouring himself a cup of tea.

"I also feel that way. Previously, when Nangong Yue went on the field, I noticed her sister had a slight change."

Chen Mo put down his teacup. Jiang Ruoqing, without minding, picked up the cup Chen Mo placed, drank the leftover tea, and said, "I once read in a book that there’s a kind of psychic link between twins that not only lets them know each other’s thoughts but can also share the feelings their bodies experience."

What Jiang Ruoqing said made Chen Mo think of how Nangong Yue convulsed in pain when Nangong Xue was attacked, quite like what she described.

However, all this was just speculation.

To know for sure, they’d have to wait for Nangong Yue to wake up and ask her personally.

"I heard from the princess, she seems to like you." Jiang Ruoqing sipped from her cup, her words tinged with jealousy.

Chen Mo was stunned, unsure what to say.

Jiang Ruoqing continued, "But the princess said she could help you, which I agree with. The Orange Body is stronger than both the princess and me.

She happens to like you; consider taking her in."

"What kind of person do you think I am?" Chen Mo held Jiang Ruoqing’s jade hand, pulled her into his arms.

Jiang Ruoqing gave Chen Mo a ’of course you are’ look and then said, "Don’t pretend, I know you, even the Empress Dowager of the Western Palace didn’t escape you. I don’t believe you’re not tempted by her."

"Ahem."

Chen Mo started to cough awkwardly, those words really making him a bit shy and angry.
