Free Web NovelChapter 676: 759 Xiao Jiu’s Affection
"But what about you, have you figured out how to explain things to Fujin? While she’s not on the Canglan Continent, you’ve messed with so many women and even got married."
Suddenly, Zhao Qianyi thought of something and squinted at Chen Mo, saying softly, "That Chief Consort position, you reserved it for Fujin, didn’t you."
"Cough, cough..." Upon hearing this, Chen Mo immediately started coughing, released the two women, and stood up to move to the window. However, since this was Jiang Ruoqing’s room, the window couldn’t be opened without her permission.
To be honest, Chen Mo was a bit nervous, especially since he and Yunxi...
If she found out.
No way, she must never know.
After all, in the Great Song Dynasty, as the Empress of the Imperial Family, Zhao Fujin’s education must have included the idea of a man having multiple wives and concubines.
And with her father having so many women, the chaos of harem battles, she’d adapted to it, so she should be able to handle it now as well.
Chen Mo thought a bit shamelessly.
And Zhao Fujin already knew about his relationship with Jiang Ning before she left.
What’s troubling now is his situation with Qianyi. That’s something that can’t be hidden. How should he explain it to her then?
Thinking of this, Chen Mo suddenly remembered something else.
That was the fact that Zhao Ji had been killed, and it was by his own younger brother. If senior sister finds out, can she handle it?
After all, regardless, Zhao Ji was her father.
"It’s tough..." Chen Mo held his head, feeling a bit frantic.
Not right.
After being apart from senior sister for so long, does she still like him?
Although Nianmo Peak might give some clues.
But Chen Mo couldn’t guarantee whether the feelings had faded or not.
And Zhao Qianyi and Jiang Ruoqing couldn’t help but laugh at Chen Mo’s fidgeting.
Serves you right for constantly flirting around without considering the consequences. Now you’re scared, aren’t you?
"By the way, what exactly do you think about Nangong Yue?" Zhao Qianyi said, and with this, her face couldn’t help but show a hint of jealousy.
If before Zhao Qianyi said Nangong Yue liked him, now, Nangong Yue’s feelings for Chen Mo were almost written all over her face.
And if Chen Mo said he had no feelings for Nangong Yue.
Zhao Qianyi absolutely wouldn’t believe it.
If he had no feelings, would he protect Nangong Yue every time?
Even lending them points, not just once.
Back when Nangong Xue was seriously injured, the healing points used were his as well.
"Your Highness, don’t you know him by now? I think he fancies both sisters. Now he’s throwing a long line to catch a big fish. He likes this sort of sisters, master and disciple thing." Jiang Ruoqing said coolly as if she had thoroughly understood Chen Mo.
Zhao Qianyi couldn’t help but laugh twice, "Ruoqing has spent more time with him, it’s different indeed, what she says is spot on."
Xiao Jiu was stifling a laugh because she agreed with Jiang Ruoqing’s statement.
At this, Chen Mo’s face turned dark. Was he really that kind of person?
"You two are asking for it, looks like this King needs to enforce household rules, come here and kneel." Chen Mo reached towards the two women.
The two women giggled and dodged, with Jiang Ruoqing even grabbing Xiao Jiu to block in front of her, saying with a laugh: "Let Xiao Jiu join too."
Originally, when Jiang Ruoqing grabbed her, Xiao Jiu furrowed her brows, wanting to dodge because she didn’t want anyone other than her master touching her. But upon hearing Jiang Ruoqing’s words, she unexpectedly felt a bit of affection, her face showing a hint of shyness, and looked eagerly at Chen Mo.
She had long been prepared to give herself.
Seeing Xiao Jiu not only unafraid, but actually looking expectant, Chen Mo glared at her, saying: "Xiao Jiu, I have some private matters to discuss with Qianyi and Ruoqing, you... you should go back first."
Jiang Ruoqing looked at him playfully, as if mocking him for being too timid.
Even Zhao Qianyi’s eyes showed a playful smile.
"Master... I’m not going back." Xiao Jiu glanced fearfully at Chen Mo, but quickly became determined, speaking while hugging Chen Mo: "Master, anything they can do, I... I can do too, and definitely better. You... you should have me."
Xiao Jiu had always been bold, saying whatever she thought.
This bold statement shocked the two women, such words were too direct.
Even Zhao Qianyi, who wasn’t one to hide her thoughts, hadn’t been as direct as Xiao Jiu.
However, the two women didn’t say anything, their expressions showed they were more interested in watching the scene unfold.
"Stop being ridiculous." Chen Mo scolded her, though Xiao Jiu’s body was quite alluring, he had never developed that kind of thought towards her. There were probably two reasons for this: one was her loli voice, and the other was that she was transformed from a demon beast, a king fox of the Qingqiu Spirit Foxes.
"Be good, listen, go over there." Chen Mo rubbed Xiao Jiu’s head as he spoke.
"No, Master, didn’t you say before that you needed time to cultivate feelings? Only when feelings are deep can that happen, and I’ve accompanied you for so long now, has it not been enough?"
To meet Chen Mo’s requirement, Xiao Jiu had been diligently cultivating the secret technique that allowed her to transform before reaching the Golden Core, just to maintain human form longer to better accompany him and cultivate feelings.
But now, so much time had passed...
"..."
When Chen Mo said that at the time, he indeed just wanted to brush off Xiao Jiu. Now that she brought it up again, he said, "Not that long has passed, cultivating feelings is a long-term matter."
"But you developed feelings with Cao Xiyue in such a short time, and even married her, as well as Wu Xin’Er, and Lianyi..."
"Cough, cough..." Every time Xiao Jiu mentioned a name, Chen Mo coughed once. Don’t spill the beans, got it?
"That... those were special circumstances." Chen Mo explained.
"Master, you’re lying to me, aren’t you..." Xiao Jiu said, tears forming in her eyes.
This left Chen Mo at a loss, how did she start crying over such a matter?
Not just him, even Zhao Qianyi and Jiang Ruoqing were taken aback.
Crying over this, isn’t it a bit much...
"Uh, um, what I said is true, I wasn’t lying to you." Chen Mo felt overwhelmed, having always been the one to woo others, now someone actually wanted to woo him...
Indeed, boys need to protect themselves when outside.
"But I’ve been so proactive, yet Master you still..." Strangely enough, in such a short time, Chen Mo noticed Xiao Jiu’s eyes were a little swollen.
"It’s just that the feelings aren’t there yet, you go back first, give me some more time."
"No." Xiao Jiu shook her head, then hugged Chen Mo’s arm and swayed it over her chest, then said, "Unless Master kisses... kisses me."
After she said this, Xiao Jiu pointed to her own lips.
Chen Mo: "..."
With no other choice, Chen Mo could only lean down for a fleeting touch of a kiss, and just as they separated, Xiao Jiu tightly hugged his head.
