Mingyue, you also know that this is my last chance. I am practicing the way of forgetting love in the Holy Land of Forgetting Love. To forget love, one must first experience the tribulation of love before being able to forget love.
If I don’t overcome the tribulation of love, not only will I be unable to pass the test of my master, I will also have difficulty maintaining my status as the heir of this holy land.”
"Lady Saint, your reputation has spread far and wide. Countless geniuses from the imperial capital and even the five holy lands are willing to be your servants. In a poor and remote place like Tianhaizhou, what kind of outstanding talents can emerge? They are really not worthy of you..."
"Whether you are worthy or not, if I didn't really have no choice, I wouldn't have taken this step. That's why I set up the three tests. This is my final bottom line. I only hope that Master will take my place." The hexagram I requested was not wrong."
"But, Saint Lady..."
Mingyue seemed to want to say something more, but at this moment, an anxious shout came from outside, interrupting the conversation between the master and the servant.
"Lady Saint, something bad has happened. Someone wants to seal off our Jiyue Tower and threatens to take away all the ten imperial capital beauties who came with you!"
"Who is so bold?"
The stunning young woman who was talking to the maid Mingyue suddenly turned her head. Her delicate and pretty face, which was originally full of autumn water and even contained some sadness, disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a sharp coldness and ruthlessness.
……
Ever since, a quarter of an hour later.
Han Mo followed the mothers from Jiyue Tower into Qinle Zhai through the back door and soon arrived at Shang Xiufang's boudoir.
The room was not big, and it was not as ornately decorated as one might imagine. Instead, it was simple and elegant. There was a faint scent of sandalwood floating in the air, which made people feel refreshed. There was a beaded curtain in the inner room, and behind the beaded curtain there was a table and chairs, and a woman was sitting by the table.
The woman had a delicate face and a charming demeanor. Her eyes were bright and clear. Except for her black hair, her whole body was snow-white. She had narrow shoulders and a thin waist. Her chest was bulging high, revealing a well-proportioned figure.
Although the woman had fair skin and beautiful face, she was dressed very simply, wearing only a white dress that was as light as a gauze. She looked to be about twenty-three or twenty-four years old.
Of course, one cannot judge a female Jindan cultivator by her appearance alone; her actual age may be older.
However, the direct descendants of the five major holy places are an exception. Because of the factor of the holy place's inheritance and initiation, they all formed golden elixirs at the age of no more than about thirty years old.
The same is true for Shang Xiufang in front of him.
Apart from the factor of age, she is indeed a rare and peerless beauty.
The beauty is boundless, and the peach and plum flowers are fragrant.
This is a quatrain used by the Eight Desolations World to describe Shang Xiufang's stunning beauty, with the last two characters of her name specifically chosen.
Han Mo agreed with this, but before he could take a closer look, the other party spoke coldly.
"Prince Yifeng, as you wish, I have accepted your proposal for a meeting. Now, tell me why you are here!"
Although the voice was icy and chilling, Han Mo still felt excited when he heard the real person speak.
Things turned out just as he expected, he met Shang Xiufang before Yan Xiao.
At the same time, it also fulfilled his dream.
What dream?
See your favorite characters in real life.
You know, generally young men are only interested in three things: astringency, shivering, and sex.
A beauty like Shang Xiufang, who has an excellent painting style, a sexy figure... ahem, hot and sexy, would be a very popular female protagonist in the game. She is loved by many players, and even many second works have been created for her.
Han Mo is also a young man, so naturally he cannot escape the three major preferences of young men, and he also likes this female character very much.
However, the female characters in the game are equivalent to the two-dimensional characters in anime, commonly known as paper people. No matter how much you like them, they are virtual.
But now, this two-dimensional paper man appeared alive in front of Han Mo.
This feeling is just like when he was in school, one of his roommates had always liked an anime heroine and kept saying that he wanted to marry a paper doll.
What, you ask what anime heroine?
I think her name was Ai Li, and she had a kind father named Xiao San.
Of course, no matter how much you like it, you can’t forget the main thing.
Han Mo came here to trade with Shang Xiufang and gain the opportunity that originally belonged to Yan Xiao.
Depending on the situation, it would be best to get on board with the other person and make him or her your protector.
If he could get the support of the Saint of the Holy Land of Forgetfulness, Han Mo would not only be able to easily deal with all the disastrous endings in the early stages, but would also be able to find a great backer.
This is also the easiest thick thigh to find in the early stages of the game.
After all, the map of the world of cultivation is vast and boundless. In the early stage in Tianhaizhou, a "novice village", it is difficult to meet a big backer with such a background.
This is also a big gamble for Han Mo. If he wins, it will be a real lucky start!
As for losing, that’s not the case yet.
At least, Han Mo was very confident about this negotiation.
After all, this direct descendant of the Holy Land of Forgetfulness, in addition to her illustrious reputation and profound cultivation, also has a resounding name known to all players - "Fairy Give for Free".
Shang Xiufang is known as the best strategy player in the entire game, almost equivalent to a free heroine.
The reason for this is because of a setting called "overcoming the tribulation of love" in the game.
In addition, although her cultivation level was at the Golden Core Stage, she had never been in love, and had never even made friends with men. That was why she was conquered by a player who had just started the game using the plot.
It was also at this time that a young girl's voice came from behind the bead curtain.
"Prince Han, what are you daydreaming about? Xiufang and the others have already agreed to your request. If you have anything to say, please tell me now!"
This should be Shang Xiufang's personal maid Mingyue.
Han Mo silently said this in his heart, and soon spoke loudly:
"This is a very important matter, but before I explain my purpose, I hope that Xiufang and the others can leave. I want to talk to you alone."
"How can you let Xiufang be alone with a playboy like you..."
Hearing this, Mingyue immediately refused to do it.
Not to mention that her young lady never stayed alone with a man, Han Mo's reputation was really too bad. He was known as the most dissolute playboy in Tianhaizhou, and even she, who was far away in the imperial capital, had heard of it.
"In this case, I will have to thoroughly investigate Jiyue Tower's human trafficking and smuggling of illegal drug pills."
Han Mo spread his hands and acted like a rogue, which made Mingyue very angry.
Behind the pearl curtain, a cold light flashed in the beautiful woman's eyes again.
He is the first person who dares to threaten the direct descendant of the Holy Land of Forgetfulness. Can we say that he is worthy of being the number one playboy in Tianhaizhou?
A Qi-refining cultivator threatens a Jindan cultivator. Most people would naturally not do such a stupid thing, but Han Mo has his own confidence.
You know, his grandfather Han Lin is the famous Marquis Yifeng of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the person in charge of Tianhaizhou. Although Han Lin, who has the cultivation level of Nascent Soul, is nothing compared to the five major holy places.
However, the five holy places and the Immortal Dynasty have always been at odds with each other, and now the new emperor of the Immortal Dynasty is vigorously promoting a new policy of reducing the power of the vassal states, which has caused conflicts with Han Lin.
If at this time, they could easily win over a provincial governor of the Immortal Dynasty, it would be a profitable deal for the five holy places.
So Han Mo was sure that as long as he didn't go too far, Shang Xiufang would not do anything to him!
"Mingyue, please go out first."
"But, miss..."
"go out!"
This was indeed the case. After thinking for a while, Shang Xiufang quickly retracted the coldness in her eyes and waved her hand to let her personal maid leave.
"Alright, I have dismissed my attendants. Prince Han, please explain your purpose!"
The cold and ruthless voice sounded again, but Han Mo smiled.
Chapter 24: Give it to the Fairy for Free (Two Chapters in One)
2023-11-10
A stick of sandalwood was lit in the side room, the smoke was curling, the fragrance was refreshing, and the aroma was overwhelming in the smoke. I didn't know whether it was the scent of sandalwood or the fragrance of the beauty.
Han Mo took a deep breath, inhaled the sandalwood mixed with the fragrance of the beauty into his nose, revealed a look of slight enjoyment, and then smiled:
"Ms. Xiufang, should I call you Her Excellency the Saint of Forgetfulness?"
Shang Xiufang frowned slightly, obviously feeling a little displeased with Han Mo's rude breathing behavior.
But she was still a little surprised when the other party revealed her identity at a glance.
But on second thought, although she had never told outsiders her identity, she could not hide it from the top leaders of various forces. As Han Mo was the eldest son of Yifeng Marquis, it was not surprising that he knew her identity.
"All right, quickly explain your purpose, my patience is limited!"
"I came here to cooperate with Her Excellency the Saint to do a business."
"Cooperative transaction?"
Shang Xiufang was slightly stunned, seeming a little surprised by this.
"Yes, I can provide Her Excellency the Saint with something that is urgently needed, and Her Excellency the Saint also has something that I want. We can have a mutually beneficial transaction."
When saying "Her Excellency the Saint", Han Mo stared straight at Shang Xiufang. Perhaps because there was no one else around, his eyes became bolder, and there was an undisguised "desire" in them.
Shang Xiufang is indeed beautiful. She is more mature and charming than Su Mengyao, and more dignified and noble than Murong Ying. With the double bonus of status and cultivation, she is the best of the best from the inside out.
However, Han Mo's bold gaze made the other party frown again, but thinking of Han Mo's identity, she still endured it and continued to maintain her aloof personality and said:
"What can you provide that I need urgently?"
I know that Your Excellency the Saint is troubled by the love tribulation. I have a way to help you get through it smoothly. As long as..."
"Haha~!"
Before Han Mo could finish his words, he was interrupted by Shang Xiufang's sneer.
She couldn't believe her ears. Han Mo had somehow found out that she was troubled by love and actually offered to help her overcome it.
Haha, you dandy boy, you almost drooled when you saw the look on my face just now. With your character, you still have the nerve to say that you can help me overcome my emotional tribulation?
You are a dissolute young man, a sex-hungry ghost. Even if I randomly pick a street sweeper in Yifeng City, it would be a hundred times better than looking for you to help me with my love tribulation!
"Prince Han, are you joking? I can forgive your previous disrespect to me, but if you want to make fun of me, please go back!"
Shang Xiufang was already a little angry, but she remained calm and just asked the guest to leave.
However, what happened next was far beyond her expectations.
However, Han Mo was slightly stunned when he heard that she was a little angry. He soon showed a look of "sudden realization" and then laughed at himself.
