CHAPTER 229: CHAPTER 121: FIRE BURNING RED CLIFF 3.0! EPIC COLLAPSE! (6K)_2

After such a long time, Li Yuan had transformed from being bewildered to understanding instantly. Her cheeks blushed deeper, and she softly stammered: "I act properly and sit upright, however the lord wishes to investigate is up to him..."

"Hmph, still daring to be stubborn!"

"Looks like I must investigate thoroughly today!"

Chen Mo snorted coldly and walked toward the inner office with his hands behind his back.

Li Yuan’s ears were red and burning, following closely behind.

Arriving at the inner office’s side room.

Li Yuan closed the room door tightly, leaning against the door panel, she lowered her head slightly and said softly: "There are many people and eyes in the government office, please, my lord, make it quick..."

Chen Mo said indifferently: "Open your mouth."

"..."

Her cheeks blushed like a fiery cloud, her pearly teeth biting her lips, resembling a pitiful subordinate unable to withstand her superior’s torment.

After hesitating for a moment, she kneeled on the ground, slowly opening her crimson lips.

The next moment, an alchemy pill was placed into her mouth.

?

Li Yuan looked somewhat dazed.

The pill melted upon entering, transforming into an unusual energy that coursed through her body, her body seemingly undergoing subtle changes.

"Lord, what is this?"

"Youthful Elixir, I personally crafted it for you."

Chen Mo took the bronze mirror from the table and placed it before her.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Li Yuan couldn’t help but pause.

Bright eyes and shining teeth, jade-like bones and icy skin, her originally fair and delicate skin now shimmered with a luminous glow, flawless and with increasingly clear and vibrant eyes, captivating with every gaze.

Though her features hadn’t changed, her presence was even more radiant and captivating.

"Is this really me?"

By her nature, Li Yuan typically cared little for appearance, yet Chen Mo was surrounded by numerous beautiful women.

Whether Gu Manzhi or Shen Zhixia, they were stunning beauties.

She couldn’t help but feel insecure—she found herself clumsy and dull, unable to imitate Gu Manzhi’s soft and coquettish manner, nor like Shen Zhixia, with bonds formed from childhood.

If one day Chen Mo tires of her uninteresting and rigid demeanor, what will happen?

Whenever she thought of possibly losing Chen Mo, her heart filled with panic and unease, unsure how to endure the days ahead.

Therefore, the usually serious and meticulous General Li constantly violated her own principles, allowing Mr. Chen to misbehave in court... it seemed that only this way could she keep him by her side.

"I told you to open your mouth, why are you kneeling?" Chen Mo said with some amusement.

Li Yuan felt embarrassed, whispering: "It’s a habit..."

"..."

Chen Mo took out a golden pill again.

On it were engraved mysterious patterns, radiating brilliant golden light, like a rising sun.

Feeling the profound Daoist charm, Li Yuan curiously asked: "What is this?"

"Enlightenment Golden Core, obtained in a secret realm, it can greatly enhance understanding in a short time, aiding in breaking through to a new realm." Chen Mo said with a smile: "You’re just a step away from the fifth rank, after swallowing this pill, you should naturally break through."

Enlightenment Golden Core?

Li Yuan had heard of this, it’s truly a Divine-Grade Pill!

A Fourth-Level Peak Martial Artist who takes it hopes to break through to the Heavenly Human Realm, becoming a Martial Arts Grandmaster!

If fallen into Jianghu, it would stir chaos, even the Three Saints and Eight Sects might personally intervene, as the allure of grandmasters is indeed massive!

Li Yuan shook her head repeatedly: "This golden pill is too precious, such a treasure, to let a subordinate take it is too wasteful."

With Chen Mo’s talent, using this item could definitely secure entry into the third rank.

No need to waste it on herself.

Chen Mo frowned and said: "It was prepared for you, how is it wasteful? Let alone one Enlightenment Golden Core, even a hundred, a thousand of them, in my eyes, are far less valuable than Yuan’er."

Hearing this, Li Yuan was struck as if by lightning, stunned entirely.

"To the lord, I am... very precious?"

"Of course, my Yuan’er is unparalleled in the world, the exclusive presence in my heart, unparalleled by any rare treasure!"

Seeing Chen Mo’s seriousness, Li Yuan’s heart trembled violently, as if something cracked open, flowers blossomed gradually in her barren heartland.

Turns out, such a mundane self could still be cherished.

Her eyes veiled with a watery mist, seemingly teary, or perhaps like ripples across water, gently waving, indistinct.

"Be good, open your mouth, I’ll assist you as a protector." Chen Mo said.

"Alright."

Li Yuan no longer refused, obediently opened her lips.

The Golden Core entered, its medicinal power dissolved, sweeping over her body in moments, constantly surging into her Spirit Platform.

In her Sea of Consciousness, waves of realization surged, a profound enlightenment clung to her heart, her previously foggy cultivation bottleneck seemed to be torn open by an invisible hand.

Her entire body shone brightly, her robes fluttered.

With the cultivation technique running, the long-plaguing shackles suddenly became crystal clear!

She felt reborn, immersed in an entirely new transformation from soul to flesh!

Only after a full quarter-hour did Li Yuan withdraw from the mysterious insight.

"Is this the Pure Yang Realm?"

Feeling the intense power within, her expression brimmed with excitement, eager to seize some Demon Clan to test her skills.

Chen Mo smiled and said: "First see what your Martial Spirit is?"

"Alright!"

Li Yuan opened her hand, dark light converged in her palm, gradually forming a long, sharp stray blade.

The blade was black, two meters long, exuding a chilling murderous aura, possessing a terrifying might of slaying countless on the battlefield!

"Great blade!"

Chen Mo praised.

Then pinched his chin with some confusion: "But why is there a row of ’正’ characters carved on the back of the blade?"
