Chapter 301: Both Fly Into The Purple Palace

Chapter 301: Both Fly Into The Purple Palace

Amrita Star Kingdom, center of the Guzang Star Field.¹

There was a grand, enormous, luxuriously magnificent palace with row upon row of halls and pavilions. Statues of exotic beasts were present everywhere, and each and every palace hall was made of ceramic, beautifully crafted fixtures, and depictions of dragons and phoenixes.

Innumerable blue flower pillars were planted inside and outside the palace. This tree was also named the blue fog tree. When it blossomed, the flowers would line up and fall off the tree in rows, just like a splashing waterfall. The blue flower pillars filled the palace's surroundings, their light purple and dark purple petals were like a vast galaxy, contrasted by the palace hall.

For those walking through the corridors of the palace halls, the blooming purple flowers and lingering purple qi seemed to place one in a dreamland, making people feel intoxicated.

In the Guzang Star Field, and even in the Amrita Star Kingdom, this palace was known as the Purple Palace.

The imperial empress that dwelled in the Purple Palace was the current ruler of the Amrita Star Kingdom, and she was one of Star World's Sixteen Star Marquis, nicknamed "Imperial Empress Of Bedfellows." The only reason for this was that she had an unusual obsession. She had a naturally lascivious disposition and did not refuse men or women. The Amrita Seven Grands were practically all guests behind her curtain.

A particular verse circulated throughout Guzang.

A woman pairs with a man, and both fly into the Purple Palace.

Reportedly, there once was a pair of outstanding geniuses, a beautiful brother and sister pair of cultivators who caught the Imperial Empress Of Bedfellows' fancy and were brought down into her harem at the same time. 

Sensual nights every night, pleasurable days every day.

In the end, the brother and sister cultivators were sucked dry of their Primordial Spirit and Essence Qi by the Imperial Empress, and their souls and bodies were destroyed. Not only cultivators, but even Star Generals that caught the Imperial Empress' fancy were tormented until they were at their last gasp. Each time the Imperial Empress' reputation was mentioned, both men and women in the Amrita Star Kingdom changed expressions.

In the Amrita Star Kingdom, if you caught her fancy and were selected to enter the Purple Palace, that was the same as becoming the Imperial Empress' cauldron.

Today, Purple Palace's Reclining Palace. 

Veils were draped over the bed, and behind the veil, there were two figures wrapping their necks around each other and rubbing their groins together. With regards to their posture, their figures were slim and shapely, a completely perfect physique.²

But one person was pinned underneath the other, and the woman on top was launching an assault that was as fierce as a beast's.

The woman underneath moaned with pleasure: "Meng…Meng…So good…This Palace is about to fly to Heaven."

"Even…Faster!"

"Really? Imperial Empress, This General is about to cum." The woman pushing down on the imperial empress let out a low voice, panting like a beast. Just her voice alone would make anyone go limp. She braced the woman's long thighs against her own shoulders and pinned her under her own body.

"The only one in the world who can make This Palace feel such pleasure is you, Meng." The woman was very excited.

Outside the veil, there was a squad of armored soldiers standing guard. These soldiers were all female and overflowing with heroic bearing. They stared straight ahead, apparently already accustomed to listening to the battle inside the curtains, for they remained expressionless.

Suddenly, a female general entered the Reclining Palace. These stone-like female soldiers promptly drew their blades to stop her.

"The Imperial Empress and General Meng are currently making love, no one is allowed to disturb them." One guard coldly declared.

The woman cupped her fist and stood outside the palace, merely saying in a loud voice: "Imperial Empress, something unexpected happened in the Tail Fire Star Field. Subordinate Star General Huan Wen has Starfallen.

On the bed, an excited, fever-pitched shout accompanied a bestial growl. The women on the bed had reached their climax.

After a long period of quiet, the woman on the bed said with a languid tone: "Let Beloved General Peng in!!"

"General Peng, please." The female guard finally relented.

The woman entered the Reclining Palace. The interior was full of post-coitus aftertaste. A woman as beautiful as the light of the stars and moon reclined on an ivory bed. She was completely naked, the pink of lovemaking still remaining on her skin. Although her slender legs were thighs were closed, her vaguely visible secret valley was in a complete mess, her lewd fluids gushing like a river. It was plainly visible how ferocious the person who assaulted her was.

The woman swallowed, then knelt in greeting: "‘Secondary Marquis' Peng Chao greets the Imperial Empress!"

"Beloved General Peng, did you say Huan Wen Starfell just now?" The Imperial Empress Of Bedfellows stood up, her body as fine as jade. A female guard carried hot water in and wiped her body.

"Yes, the matter has already been investigated clearly." Peng Chao³ answered.

"Which Star General did it?" Imperial Empress Of Bedfellows asked in displeasure: "Huan Wen was an important minister and Beloved General to This Palace's Amrita Star Kingdom. Which Star General dared to kill her, This Palace will certainly make her beg for death."

Peng Chao paused. "Your Servant fears it was not a Star General."

The female guards wiping the Imperial Empress' body all stiffened, then recovered their original state, hiding their own shock. The Imperial Empress turned her head, her golden pupils flickering with a cold light. "What did you say? A Star General did not kill her?"

"Yes, Huan Wen's Star General was not the action of another Star General." The woman did not dare hesitate.

"Speak the facts." The Imperial Empress wrinkled her brow.

"The one who killed Huan Wen is a male cultivator. Reportedly, he is the fourth son of a certain lord in the Tail Fire Star Field's Great Chong Dynasty. His martial arts are exceptional. He defeated Huan Wen in front of everyone, killing her in the end."

"Seven Stars Huan Wen already obtained a Single Character Star Name and comprehended a Phoenix Dark Rank. Are you certain this was done by a cultivator of the Outer Star Fields?" The Imperial Empress Of Bedfellows's brow was tightly locked.

"Yes, this matter is important, and Your Servant does not dare hide anything. This boy's name is Chen Mo. Apparently, his body contains the ‘Black Turtle True Spirit.' His weapon, ‘Northern Dipper,' also appears to be an Ancient Divine Weapon. Huan Wen was no match for him in the end."

"A man?"

"Yes."

Having put on a revealing long skirt, the Imperial Empress turned around, "Then who is the number Star General there right now."

"‘Northern Mansion Soldier Master' Xie Xuan has replaced Huan Wen as the Great Chong's Star General."

"Northern Mansion Soldier Master Xie Xuan. Did she not contract the Extreme Yin Cold Poison and had her Star Name sealed? How is she able to leave seclusion."

"It was cured."

"By who?"

"…By the man who killed Huan Wen, Chen Mo."

"What?" The Imperial Empress Of Bedfellows was stunned. This time, she was genuinely astonished. Although the Extreme Yin Cold Poison was not a very formidable Yin Poison, it was not something that a cultivator would be able to cure. Even in the Inner Star Fields, those who were capable of doing so could be counted on fingers.

Not only had an Outer Star Field cultivator killed Huan Wen, he was also able to cure a Yin Poison. This man was a bit interesting.

"Your Servant shall go kill him and present his head for Imperial Empress to see." Peng Chao requested orders.

The Imperial Empress Of Bedfellows licked her lips. Hearing the matters about that man named Chen Mo, her body that had only just obtained satisfaction could not help but heat up again: "Who said This Palace wants his head?"

"Huh?" Secondary Marquis Peng Chao was surprised, "Imperial Empress, can it be that you want to…"

"Even in the Inner Star Fields, a man capable of killing Huan Wen is a rare sight. For such a man to die like this, that would be a waste." The Imperial Empress had not tasted a man's flavor in two hundred years already. Today, she was a bit restless: "This Palace wants to use this Chen Mo as a sex pet. No one is allowed to kill him, understand?"

"Subordinate understands."

"However, since he is able to kill Huan Wen and is capable of helping cure Xie Xuan's Cold Qi, it appears his background is formidable. There will be no guarantee if you go. Where is Yao Chang?"⁴

"Yao Chang was recently dispatched on an expedition against ‘Brutal Beast' Shi Hu.⁵ Subordinate is already Yellow Court Middle Stage. A mere Outer Star Field man definitely will not disgrace the mission. Subordinate is ready to off her own head as a guarantee." Peng Chao solemnly vowed.

The Imperial Empress seldom encountered someone she had yet to meet, a man that was able to make her excited just from hearing about him alone. She did not want even an iota of an accident. "Since he is able to kill Huan Wen, the other Star Marquis will have found out about him for certain. This will not do. Also dispatch Ju Nan⁶ with a thousand Rhinoceros Soldiers along with yourself. Bring that man back to the Purple Palace.

The Secondary Marquis was just about to accept these orders when a husky voice suddenly came from inside the veil.

"Wait a moment!!"

"Hm."

The two of them turned their gazes.

A beautiful and frighteningly busty woman pulled back the silk veil.

"Imperial Empress, please leave the mission to capture Chen Mo to This General." The woman calmly said.

"Ah." The Imperial Empress showed a surprised expression: "Rou'er,⁷ you are the leader of the Amrita Seven Grands. If anyone were to find out you went to capture a male cultivator, your reputation would suffer."

"In the Tail Fire Star Field back then, it was This General's fate with Huan Wen that she was authorized with watching over the Tail Fire. Now that she has Starfallen, this would become THis General's duty. Please oblige This General, Imperial Empress. That man, This General will definitely personally bring him back to the Purple Palace." Although the woman named Rou'er had a single character name, her tone, attitude, and every word she uttered were full of extraordinary firmness and ferocity.

The Imperial Empress was also well aware of her personality. Once she decided on something, it was near impossible to pull her back.

However, what she said was very true. Back then, the double Star Names of Huan Wen and Xie Xuan were born. Each of the major Star Marquis eyed them covetously like a tiger would prey. It was all thanks to Rou'er's desperate efforts that they finally obtained Huan Wen, so it could be said she and Huan Wen were brought together by fate. Now that Huan Wen had Starfallen, naturally she would need to personally catch the perpetrator.

"Rou'er, you will not kill that man, will you?" The Imperial Empress was worried about this.

"To be capable of killing Huan Wen, that man clearly cultivates Star Energy. If the Imperial Empress is able to obtain his practically pure Yang Star Energy, that would prove beneficial. This General is very aware of this." Rou'er firmly replied.

The female guards began to bathe her and dress her in armor.

Hearing her vow, the Imperial Empress Of Bedfellows was thoroughly at ease.

"Good. Then This Palace hereby orders you, Rou'er, to head for the Tail Fire Star Field. You must bring that man back to the Purple Palace. When the time comes, the both of us can play with him in the palm of our hands together, make him beg for the sweet release of death." The Imperial Empress showed an evil smile. She felt her body grow more and more moist. She was already somewhat unable to stand waiting.

"As you command."

The woman sternly answered as before, making the surrounding female guards and Peng Chao not even dare to utter a sound. When the Imperial Empress saw this, her heart was exceptionally happy. Only this stone-faced woman's expression belonged to her.

…

Tail Fire Star Field, a snowstorm descended in November once again.

Chen Mo sat on top of a pavilion in Chang'an Mansion, watching the sprinkling snowflakes and the boundless white world. He thought back to Azure Dragon Town two years ago. Back then, he was still a cripple that was unable to reach Qi-blood Nine Turns. Back then, he met Auntie under a bamboo forest.

Ping'er and the other maids who looked after him with devotion were still in Azure Dragon Town, however, the Qing Family treated them respectfully nowadays. Ping'er and the others also began to train martial arts at the Qing Family.

"Recalling unhappy things from the past??" A soft, sweet-sounding voice interrupted his contemplation.

Qin Weiyu drank warm wine and smirked at the reminiscence that inadvertently leaked from the man's eyes.

"It's all in the past." Chen Mo drank wine together with her.

"So long as you are still willing to move forward, everything will be in the past." Qin Weiyu's words were quite philosophical.

Chen Mo smiled.

"How are your Flying Swords coming along?" Qin Weiyu set down her cup and asked.

"The Black Turtle Seven Star Stones are more incredible than I imagined. I used the Sword Casting Villa's strongest fire and was still unable to melt it." Chen Mo gloomily said. "Furthermore, the Black Turtle is classified as Water element. Using fire to refine it degrades the Black Turtle's spiritual power. It will need some more time." Using fire was already very challenging, and using Water element for refinement, the Tail Fire Star Field completely lacked any places for this.

Qin Weiyu matter-of-factly said: "The Black Turtle Seven Stars are stones of the Four Holy Beasts, after all. It is very normal for the Outer Star Fields to be unable to refine them."

"Don't tell me that even my first Flying Sword will be this difficult to forge?" Chen Mo's head ached to death.

Qin Weiyu pursed her lips. This brat had obtained an enormous boon yet still complained. How could Star World's Three Great Primordial Sword Chants be so easily forged. "I heard that the Inner Star Fields' Cold Ksetra Star Field has a Furious Flame Desert,⁸ and in the depths of that desert is an oasis. Hidden under the oasis is one of Star World's Three Great Water-type Spirit Fires, the ‘Siming Nine Nether Flame.'⁹ You can go there and look."

"Looks like I need to accelerate my preparations to enter the Inner Star Fields." Chen Mo nodded.

"Do you not have the Three Worlds Immortal Movement Pendant? Just use it. This pendant can traverse the Three Worlds, and it should be able to reach any Star Field."

"In the end, it only has three uses." Chen Mo was a bit reluctant.

"Part with what should be parted with. Otherwise, how can you obtain anything."

"En, then wait until I finish looking over the Book Of Casting. I can't be sloppy." Chen Mo knew it would be very dangerous just hearing about that Siming Nine Nether Flame.

His elder sister carried in a large, piping hot pot at this time. Her little face was completely red as she said: "Little Brother, the hotpot is done."

Qin Weiyu wafted the hotpot's aroma. The elegant woman could not help but spare it a few more glances.

This mandarin duck hotpot was improved by Big Sis. The food inside were all first-rate in the Great Chong Dynasty, rich in flavor and mouth-watering. "Being with you always provides many pleasant surprises. Weiyu is even somewhat reluctant to leave." Qin Weiyu took a piece of tofu and tasted it. Chili was placed inside, making the tip of her tongue numb and pleasant.

"Then don't leave. In the future, we can travel together and eat exotic foods. There are also stories you've never heard of." Chen Mo chuckled as he enticed Qin Guan to stay.

The Magpie Bridge Immortal smiled and said: "Part with what should be parted with. Otherwise, how can you obtain anything. Thus, Weiyu has already planned to leave this Star Field after eating this hotpot. Weiyu still has her own matters to attend to."

"I don't want to force you, Weiyu, but from now on, I, Chen Mo, will always be your friend. If you need anything, you can always come to find me in this Star Field." Chen Mo pledged: "Even if I'm not here, Chang'an Mansion will spare no effort to help."

Chen Luan nodded.

"I never imagined that I, Qin Weiyu, would have a boyfriend." Qing Weiyu chuckled.

Chen Mo choked.

"Little Brother, be careful. You're about to enter Fate Realization Realm, yet you actually still choke while eating." Chen Luan faked anger and scolded.

"Then you're my girlfriend, Qin Weiyu." Chen Mo very considerately stacked her bowl with some tofu, meat rolls, and vegetables. Of course, he did not miss doing the same to Big Sister's.

Qin Weiyu felt this man's expressions were a bit strange, but she did not mind. The two had so much history between them, she had long already treated Chen Mo as a friend in the depths of her heart. "Weiyu is your girlfriend then."¹⁰

The three of them ate hotpot on the rooftop, joyous and harmonious, lively and steaming.

Because he planned to enter the Inner Star Fields, Chen Mo also started to ask her to lecture about some of the inner Star Fields' matters, like the Sixteen Star Marquis and other Star Fields. Qin Weiyu also spoke about some of her own experiences. Perhaps it was because of the feelings that this snowscape evoked, but the Magpie Bridge Immortal recalled some things in the past, speaking about the rarely mentioned "Dew Water Fateful Marriage."

Brother and sister listened with rapt attention.

The snowstorm grew more and more intense, and everything faded.

Chen Luan suddenly said: "Weiyu, your Star Name, Magpie Bridge Immortal, is an absolute in verse. Since you're preparing to part ways, why not take advantage of this to compose a poem."

"Sure." Qin Weiyu was a bit drunk. She raised her cup and walked to the bridge of the rooftop. Chang'an Mansion was a grand mansion in Chang'an City. On the rooftop, one could sea the imperial mausoleun, and one could even see the plum blossoms stay proud in the face of the snowstorm's ruin.

After a moment, the Magpie Bridge Immortal rose, and in the snowstorm, her voice was like a song.

"Chang'an snow. The myriad footsteps of people are erased in the boundlessness. The footsteps are erased, and now, as far as the eye can see, Heaven and Earth are open and empty.

The old man riding the donkey is truly strange. His mountainous shoulders shrug off the cold. Shrug off the cold, but fate cannot help the plum blossoms' provocation."

The verse's atmosphere also carried a charging grace, making Chen Mo and Chen Luan applaud in praise.

Qin Weiyu was tipsy. She put on a moving smile, and a limpid glint came from her eyes.

"Chen Mo, now it is your turn to compose one."
