Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace-Chapter 220 - 219 Twins, Female Assassins

Xiao Mansion.

Yi Yao changed into a set of night clothing, carrying a bundle she had already packed, she evaded the patrolling guards inside and outside the Xiao Mansion, and slipped into Zhihua’s room. She peered out the door, observing her surroundings as she spoke:

"Mother, are you ready? Master has already prepared everything. We will leave Bianliang tonight."

Upon discovering no one was following, Yi Yao closed the door and looked at Zhihua, who was still wearing an elaborate dress, and frowned:

"Mother, why are you wearing that? Didn’t I give you a set of night clothes? Hurry and change."

The long hem of Zhihua’s elaborate dress would definitely hinder movement if they needed to run.

With her back to Yi Yao, Zhihua asked, "Yaoyao, where is your master meeting us?"

Yi Yao, filled with trust for her biological mother, replied, "He’s waiting for us at Vermilion Bird Lane outside the Xiao Mansion. Don’t worry, Mother. Master is an Innate expert, and his Lightweight Skill is top-notch. As long as we leave Bianliang, no one can catch us.

Moreover, Master has received news that Nanyang’s army will reach Bianliang tonight, but the entire city’s focus will be on them, and no one will notice us."

As she spoke, Yi Yao suddenly sniffed and said, "Mother, what’s in your room is..."

"Bang!" Before she could finish her sentence, Yi Yao collapsed to the ground and fainted.

Upon hearing the noise, Zhihua turned around, tears streaming down her beautiful face, "Yaoyao, Mother... Mother did this for your own good, I hope you can understand..."

...

The Chen Mansion is at the far end of Vermilion Bird Avenue, just a ten-minute walk from the Xiao Mansion.

Having just moved into the mansion, Chen Mo was unfamiliar with everything there.

Fortunately, Xiao Yunqi had made sure that all necessary facilities were prepared for Chen Mo.

The only downside was the lack of people.

Currently, in the spacious Chen Mansion, there were only Chen Mo and four beautiful maids, five people in total.

Gao Zheng and the others had returned to the military camp.

Chen Mo summoned Chun Lan, Xia Lan, Qiu Lan, and Dong Lan.

He planned to have them help him get familiar with the mansion.

The four petite and exquisite women stood in front of Chen Mo, then called out in unison, "Master."

All dressed similarly with makeup, they may not have been astonishingly beautiful, but they were certainly above average in looks.

At least in Chen Mo’s previous life, the beauty of these four was enough to outshine the so-called campus beauties.

With petite and flawless faces, skin as delicate as porcelain, and exquisite facial features complemented by bright eyes.

Most notably, two of them appeared to be twins.

Chen Mo instantly felt a sense of spiritual elevation.

So this is the life of nobility?

Decadent, indeed...

Chen Mo took one of the twins’ small hands in each of his and asked, "What are your names?"

"Slave... slave is Qiu Lan."

"Slave... slave is Dong Lan."

The twin sisters shivered slightly. Although they had prepared for certain things since arriving at the Chen Mansion, they were still a bit unaccustomed to the quickness of events.

Fortunately, Chen Mo was young and handsome.

The sisters felt little resistance.

Indeed, Xiao Yunqi had not informed them that Chen Mo was a eunuch.

He only told them Chen Mo’s public identity.

"So which one of you is the elder sister and who is the younger?" Chen Mo lifted one girl’s chin, her lips naturally red.

"Master, I am the elder sister," Dong Lan said.

"Master, I am the younger sister," Qiu Lan said.

The twin sisters were extremely similar in appearance, but Chen Mo could still tell them apart.

The one in the white dress, with a slightly childlike voice, was Dong Lan, the elder sister.

The one in the yellow dress, with a slightly mature voice, was Qiu Lan, the younger sister.

As for Chun Lan and Xia Lan, they were easy to distinguish.

Chun Lan wore green, and Xia Lan wore pink.

Xia Lan had the largest bust, though it was incomparable to Xu Miaozhen or Noble Consort Hu.

The four women were around the same age.

Chun Lan was eighteen, while Xia Lan, Qiu Lan, and Dong Lan were all sixteen.

"Ahem, your Master doesn’t like to sleep alone. Tonight, Qiu Lan and Dong Lan will come to my room to serve," Chen Mo said with a cough.

"Understood." Qiu Lan and Dong Lan blushed, nodding with a hint of nervousness in their voices.

"Don’t be afraid, follow me, and you will want for nothing in terms of wealth and prosperity." Chen Mo took out some jewelry from his bosom and tucked them into Qiu Lan and Dong Lan’s bosoms, taking the opportunity to gauge their courage.

All four women blushed deeply.

Chen Mo then turned to Chun Lan and Xia Lan: "You don’t need to be jealous either. Tomorrow night, when I have a chance, I’ll make it up to you... you’ll also have plenty of jewelry."

"Thank... thank you, Master."

...

After touring the entire Chen Mansion and knowing where everything was, Chen Mo ordered Chun Lan and Xia Lan to prepare hot water. Qiu Lan and Dong Lan were also to bathe, then wait on the bed. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

It wasn’t that Chen Mo didn’t want to take a bath with them, but the mansion didn’t have a tub large enough.

Gauging the time as about right, Chen Mo headed towards the bathing room.

Then, a Black Shadow suddenly pounced in front of Chen Mo, grabbing him by the shoulder with one hand and pressing a sword against his neck with the other, her breath somewhat uneven:

"Don’t move, or I’ll kill you."

The Black Shadow’s Lightweight Skill was truly exceptional; Chen Mo hadn’t noticed her until she was before him.

In truth, Chen Mo could counter without getting hurt at any moment, but hearing the womanly voice and her uneven breath piqued his interest. He wanted to see what she was up to.

However, in the next second, the Black Shadow collapsed in front of Chen Mo with a thump.

Chen Mo: "..."

Chen Mo hesitated for a moment before bending down to remove the black veil from the Black Shadow’s face. Upon seeing the pale yet stunningly beautiful face, he was momentarily stunned. Then, he smiled, "So she was injured."

After carrying her into a room, Chen Mo went out to find Chun Lan, intending to ask her for any Healing Medicine. Just then, he saw Chun Lan rushing over anxiously: "Bad news, Master, there are officials."

Chen Mo frowned, "Follow me to see."

The so-called officials were merely Manor Soldiers from the Xiao Mansion, here to capture an assassin. They had seen the assassin run this way.

Therefore, they wanted to search the Chen Mansion.

Because of Chen Mo’s connection with the Xiao Mansion, the soldiers were easily deceived by a few of his words.

"An assassin from the Xiao Mansion?" Chen Mo frowned, then decided to investigate what had happened the next day. Depending on the severity, he would consider whether to hand that person over.

"Master, the hot water is ready. Let me assist you with your bath." Chun Lan curtsied to Chen Mo as the soldiers left.

But Chen Mo asked, "Do we have Healing Medicine in the mansion?"

"Is the Master injured?" Chun Lan regretted her prying the moment she spoke, quickly apologizing for her prying tongue, then said, "I will fetch it for you right away, Master."
