Cultivation Begins with Caring for Sister-in-law-Chapter 386: Losing Self-Control

The next day.

Sunlight streamed through the windows, casting most of the room’s outline, warm and serene.

In this gentle atmosphere, Chen Mo slowly opened his eyes.

His arm seemed to have a mind of its own, encircling a slender figure, that of a beautiful woman.

Her hair was as smooth as flowing clouds, emitting a faint fragrance that seeped into Chen Mo’s heart, her face full and delicate, like a clear morning after a snowfall, fair and tinged with a slight blush.

Her body was covered by a thin blanket, revealing only her fragrant shoulders and above. The curtains had been drawn last night, and the sunlight gently caressed that tender skin, casting dappled light and shadow. Chen Mo couldn’t help but reach out to touch that warm, jade-like skin.

Looking down, Chen Mo saw her curled up against him like a big cat, her elegant curves barely visible, from her shoulder and neck to her waist and down to her legs.

The two were tightly pressed together, with one of Xiao Yunxi’s beautiful legs draped over Chen Mo. Since they fell asleep last night, they hadn’t separated. Chen Mo could still feel...

Her lips, like the most vibrant petals, soft and full, gently closed, exuding a silent allure.

That morning, a restlessness arose within Chen Mo, especially after hearing her admit last night that he was much stronger than Prince Huai, and Prince Huai couldn’t even compare to his little toe. Such an unspeakable sense of accomplishment, like a tiny electric current, spread throughout Chen Mo’s body.

This made Chen Mo lift the beautiful leg draped over his slightly, rewarding the sleeping beauty once more.

...

This was the most peaceful sleep Xiao Yunxi had since being captured, and in her dream, she seemed to return to the warm Xiao family.

The teachings of her parents echoed in her ears, her eldest brother’s tireless guidance.

The joyful laughter of her brothers and sisters.

Everything was so wonderful.

But just then, this beautiful scene began to crumble, her parents faded into the distance, the tireless eldest brother shattered like a fallen vase, and her siblings vanished one by one.

An invisible giant hand reached down from the sky, grabbed her, and locked her in a dark, narrow room.

Xiao Yunxi’s long lashes gently trembled, her brows furrowed, and her red lips slightly parted, as if wandering between dream and reality.

"No..." Xiao Yunxi woke up startled from her dream, her eyes opening, but the words that slipped out were soft and alluring, and a nasal hum escaped her nose.

Glancing around, Xiao Yunxi was momentarily bewildered. When she realized it was Chen Mo teasing her, the bewilderment on her face turned to shyness, then anger, as she exclaimed breathlessly, "You... are you never satisfied? This early in the morning, aren’t you... aren’t you tired of it?"

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Yunxi’s mouth was sealed by Chen Mo’s kiss, only feeling the fragrant, sweet breath prevailing.

That creamy, fair cheek suddenly flushed a soft red, bright as a tree of plum blossoms.

Though resisting inside, her body had become like a small boat on a wave-tossed sea, swaying with her graceful posture.

Chen Mo’s hands were not idle either, building a snowman.

After some time, their lips parted, and Chen Mo murmured in her ear, "I feel like I’d never get tired of it for a lifetime."

This was the second time Chen Mo felt such greed.

The first time was brought by Ning Wan.

It’s like buying a new motorcycle you’re reluctant to ride, but if it’s someone else’s, or bought secondhand, you can’t wait to rev the engine.

Perhaps because she’d relinquished her dignity in front of Chen Mo long ago, or maybe due to last night’s decision, Xiao Yunxi felt a hint of secret delight upon hearing this.

After all, Chen Mo was better than him...

But that thought only flashed through Xiao Yunxi’s mind briefly.

Just then, she heard a "pop" sound that was quite loud in the quiet room, clearly indicating a mischievous attack, which sent tingling sensations through her.

Xiao Yunxi’s sumptuous, snow-white face was full of shame and anger, her beautiful eyes widening in disbelief. Since childhood, not even her parents had spanked her, she reproached irritatedly, "You... you’ve gone too far."

"What’s more audacious is yet to come."

Chen Mo instructed her to turn around and lay on the bed.

Xiao Yunxi was full of shame and annoyance, wondering how this shameless rogue had so many tricks, like none of the... illustrated books she had ever read had so many.

Yet somehow, this moment made her, who followed rules since childhood, feel her heart racing uncontrollably, her spirit quivering beyond composure.

...

If the little prince hadn’t woken up, Chen Mo would have likely continued his mischief all morning.

Xiao Yunxi remained mostly passive, and her virtuous demeanor was more abundant than ever, coupled with the dignified and beautiful presence of the Princess Consort of Huai, and her inherent elegance and gentleness, indeed rendered one utterly captivated and unable to extricate themselves.

Thinking even the Princess Consort was like this, what about the Empress, the Imperial Consort...

Chen Mo silently cursed himself for being crazy, indulging in such fanciful thoughts. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"After a while, once things in Huai State are completely settled, I’ll take you and Chu Juan back to Linzhou," Chen Mo said.

Huai State, after all, was Prince Huai’s domain for decades and wasn’t suited to be his base of operations.

Xiao Yunxi knew that she could never go back.

But strangely, she wasn’t that sad about it.

...

After deliberately competing with the young prince over some food, Chen Mo finally stepped out of the residence, letting the cool breeze dissipate the lingering fragrance on his body.

Just then, Sun Meng approached, bowing and respectfully saying, "Marquis, the Divine Brave Guard reported a talent, I went to see him, and he could lift a 3,000-pound log, but he said he didn’t know which grade he was, and I couldn’t tell either, so I thought I’d let the Marquis have a look."

Chen Mo’s expression froze for a moment; a 3,000-pound log unequivocally indicated a Middle-Grade Martial Artist.

Since capturing Huai State, one stroke of good fortune after another had come his way.

"Let’s go take a look," Chen Mo said.

...

On the other side, in the Divine Brave Guard’s military camp.

Han Wu was briefing Chang En.

"The Marquis might personally come to see you later, remember to be respectful and not lose propriety." If it were someone else, Han Wu wouldn’t say it, but seeing Chang En’s mild demeanor, he felt a word of caution was needed to avoid offending the Marquis.

"But rest assured, the Marquis values talent the most. With your strength, you’ll surely gain the Marquis’ heavy reliance; after meeting him, I might have to look up to you," Han Wu said.

Chang En nodded, feeling his master’s advice was indeed sound.

This military camp was truly excellent, providing food and lodging; even meals didn’t require his own preparation, just waiting in line to receive them.

In the mountains, one had to take care of everything personally regarding food, clothing, housing, and travel.

As for training, it was nothing compared to the times in the mountains.

Compared to life in the mountains, Chang En felt the military camp was simply a Celestial Court.
