Chapter 129: A Romantic Encounter with the Lady Swordsman - Ah? The Wives I Abandoned Turned Out to Be Real

Chapter 129: A Romantic Encounter with the Lady Swordsman The two of them nestled together for quite some time. Huang Qingwan spoke softly, "Steward Su, with you here, I feel reassured." As Huang Qingwan spoke, a delicate fragrance wafted through the air, making it difficult for Su Mo to resist as he gazed at her rosy lips. "Hmm… Steward Su…" ... After a quarter of an hour, Su Mo finally released Huang Qingwan. Beads of sweat adorned her forehead, and she lay limply in Su Mo's embrace. Seeing Huang Qingwan in such a state, Su Mo stopped himself. After all, they were still outside, and it wasn’t the right time. Yet, in his ear, the persistent urging of Yu Luo-nang echoed. "Oh dear, stopping at the crucial moment." "My lord, my lord, please continue." "I haven't seen enough." "I want to see you lift up and catch Fei Lingxue again, like last time." "Even a simple twirl will do." "At least savor the floral scent." "…" Hearing Yu Luo-nang's ceaseless chatter, Su Mo's forehead darkened. Sensing Su Mo's displeasure, Yu Luo-nang quickly tried to amend the situation. "Well... let's forget it. Fei Lingxue, with her profound martial arts, can withstand your playful antics." "This young lady is too fragile." "If you treated her like Fei Lingxue, she probably wouldn't get out of bed for a month." "But I must say, this little lady is quite adorable; just a touch makes her bloom…" "Ahem!" Su Mo coughed heavily twice. But he couldn’t scold Yu Luo-nang right now; his priority was to calm Huang Qingwan. "My lady, it's not the time yet." "Hmm…” Huang Qingwan's voice was as faint as a mosquito's hum, her heart brimming with joy. She had been worried that after rejecting her father's wishes, Su Lang wouldn't accept her either. But now, it seemed she had made the right choice. After some more tender moments, Su Mo stood up. Huang Qingwan, however, was too weak to muster any strength and remained seated. Then, Su Mo deliberately spoke loudly, "My lady, I've said what needed to be said, so I'll take my leave now." With that, Su Mo pushed open the door. Guo Lin and Chun Zhu didn't speak, fully aware of what transpired between Su Ge and Huang Qingwan... ... Huang Qingwan and Guo Lin left in the afternoon. Before leaving, they called for Chun Zhu, saying they hadn’t met in a long time and wanted to catch up at the General’s mansion. Now, only Su Mo and Xu Miaoyin remained at the tavern. Due to needing to recuperate, Su Mo only brought breakfast and lunch to Fei Lingxue. They closed up shop before dinner. Thinking about his simulation with the lady swordsman kept Su Mo restless. He immediately pulled Xu Miaoyin into his room. Xu Miaoyin, newly married, couldn't handle Su Mo's enthusiasm, and in the end, she drifted into exhaustion, allowing Su Mo to finally cease. Now, Xu Miaoyin lay in Su Mo's arms like a gentle snow lamb. Feeling a sense of tranquility, Su Mo no longer had any desires. This state of mind was perfect for his simulation. But as he was about to use "Fated Lives," Yu Luo-nang’s voice drifted into his ear. "My lord, you are so gentle with Xu Miaoyin." "I recall Fei Lingxue often ends up covered in bruises because of you." "Yet Xu Miaoyin doesn't have a single mark on her." "You’re clearly partial." "And besides..." "She even invited you to explore further, but you refused." "If I remember correctly, that place is your favorite, my lord." "Fei Lingxue used to refuse, and yet you..." Yu Luo-nang’s remarks interrupted Su Mo's thoughts. With a dark expression, Su Mo remarked, "Talk, talk, all you do is talk!" "Go away, I’m not leaving tomorrow, so you better not come in!" Seeing Su Mo upset, Yu Luo-nang’s tone turned apologetic. "Oh, alright then, my lord..." "I'm only trying to help you have an even better time in the future." "The one who'll be enjoying it all is you, my lord." "I’m off then…” With that, the jade spider that Yu Luo-nang transformed into crawled back to the eaves, focusing on her own meditation. With Yu Luo-nang gone, Su Mo adjusted his posture, gently cupped Xu Miaoyin's ample chest in his hands, and began to engage with the simulation scene. ... [Detected a bound real-life fateful character. Proceed with simulation now?] "Simulate!" [The fated character for this simulation is "Nangong Liuli," the third generation chief disciple of the Emei Sect in the Earthly Immortal Realm.] Earthly Immortal Realm? Su Mo was surprised. It was his first time hearing the term Earthly Immortal Realm. He wondered what kind of place it referred to. [This simulation involves your real identity.] [Birthplace cannot be randomized.] [The location for this simulation is Linjiang City.] [Fated character confirmed.] [Your bound fated character is "Nangong Liuli."] [Determining identity…] [Your identity is the owner of Linjiang Spring Tavern.] [For this simulation, you can choose to use existing talents or start with new talents.] [Selecting random talent will alter the simulation world and your identity.] [Choose random talent?] Seeing this, Su Mo didn’t hesitate for a second. He immediately opted for a random talent. He still remembered the last simulation with Guo Lin; although the evaluation wasn't high, he still received a talent at the end. This was simply because in designated fated simulations, regardless of the final evaluation, you could always acquire a talent. The simulation was just an added bonus. What he truly desired was talent. As soon as Su Mo chose the random talent, beams of different colors appeared before him. White, green, blue, purple, and gold. Among these hues, the white light shone brightest, followed by green, a small portion of blue, a sliver of purple, and a mere thread of gold. Ultimately, a flash of purple light appeared before Su Mo, and the talent was set. [Congratulations, player. You have obtained the talent "Strength of Nine Bulls and Two Tigers."] [Strength of Nine Bulls and Two Tigers: Your strength is equivalent to the combined power of nine strong oxen and two fierce tigers.] ... Seeing this, Su Mo's eyes lit up with delight. Wonderful, wonderful, the "Strength of Nine Bulls and Two Tigers" he drew this time is truly remarkable. Once the simulation concludes. Presumably, it will merge with my "Strong as a Bull" talent. At that time, my physique will be greatly enhanced. Handling Fei Lingxue will be a breeze. No more worrying about being worn out. With this thought, a slight smile played on Su Mo's lips. Eagerly, he watched as the simulation scene began. ... [You are the owner of Linjiang Spring Tavern in Linjiang City. Born with immense strength, you carved a distinguished reputation in the martial world after crossing over to this realm.] [Later, feeling disillusioned after being betrayed by friends, you retreated to this small city to spend the remainder of your days.] ... On the screen, Su Mo's current life story unfolded slowly. Linjiang Spring wasn’t as sparse in populace as it is now; it had two chefs, two waiters, and one servant. Inside, Su Mo often practiced boxing in the backyard. Observing this scene, Su Mo understood it was the effect of opting for a random talent. Had he chosen to start with his existing talent, the simulation’s setting would have mirrored his current life. However, for Su Mo, choosing random talent offered more advantages than drawbacks. The simulation was secondary. Talent was paramount. Each additional talent meant a more comfortable life in reality. At the moment, The simulation continued. [A strange rumor began circulating among Linjiang City’s residents, claiming a demon had emerged in Heifeng Mountain.] [A multitude of martial artists ventured forth, but without exception, all perished at the hands of the black bear spirit.] [You possess seven jade tokens gifted by a sage in your youth when you first arrived in this world.] [These tokens are highly effective against evil.] [However, your aspirations have waned, and you have no desire to personally face the black bear spirit.] [So, you hand over these seven jade tokens to Monk Liao Ming, who came seeking revenge for his fallen brothers.] [Ultimately, Monk Liao Ming, along with the comrades he called upon, successfully vanquished the black bear spirit, earning the title of heroes in Linjiang City.] [You gave all seven jade tokens to Monk Liao Ming, intending to continue your life in Linjiang City.] [Just three days after Monk Liao Ming's departure, you encountered a woman you could never forget.] [She was as cold as ice, glancing at you as if you were no different from roadside stones or weeds.] [Yet, you were deeply captivated by her, feeling that no other woman from Earth or this realm could compare.] [When you served her a meal, she asked about the whereabouts of Monk Liao Ming and his companions.] [After finishing her meal, she soared away on her sword, transforming into a rainbow that vanished into the horizon.] [In the wake of her departure, your heart was filled with melancholy.] [That very night, you gathered all your valuables and returned to the Jianghu, determined to spend your life searching for this mesmerizingly beautiful woman.] Watching himself transformed into a lovesick fool in the simulation, Su Mo felt a twinge of irritation. His grip inadvertently tightened, causing Xu Miaoyin to furrow her brows. Noticing this, Su Mo quickly eased his hold. At last, Xu Miaoyin's tense brow relaxed. She then slightly opened her eyes. "Su Lang, what's the matter?" Su Mo quickly reassured her, "Nothing, nothing. Just go back to sleep. You still have to practice swordsmanship tomorrow." Xu Miaoyin gave a soft, sleepy hum, sounding both cute and a bit lazy. "Okay, you should sleep early too." "I will, right away." Once the beauty in his arms drifted back into slumber, Su Mo returned his gaze to the simulation screen. In that brief moment, his mood had calmed. Since it was merely a simulation, it wasn't tied to the real world. There was no need for him to overthink it. ... [You weren't searching aimlessly; you planned to track down Monk Liao Ming and his companions.] [The woman's words hinted at finding Monk Liao Ming and the others.] [Despite not knowing her origins, you set forth on your journey without hesitation.] [On this day, in Qingniu Town, you found Monk Liao Ming and his group.] [They were currently fulfilling a commission to exorcise a female ghost possessing the mayor's daughter.] [With their jade tokens, they easily vanquished the ghost.] [Seeing you approach, Monk Liao Ming thought you had come to reclaim the tokens, but you revealed your true purpose.] [You were searching for a woman.] [Thus, you joined Monk Liao Ming’s group, awaiting the arrival of that woman.] [One night, while camping in the forest, the soft sound of a sword echoed through the air.] [Before your eyes, Monk Liao Ming and his companions were beheaded, their blood spurting in a crimson arc.] [Uncertain of what unfolded, the very woman you longed for appeared by the campfire in the next instant.] [Upon seeing you, a flicker of surprise danced in her eyes of eternal ice.] "What are you doing here too?"
