Chapter 241 Lifting the Veil
Qin Mo was speechless. One of his two uncles was the Prince of Yan of the Great Xia Dynasty, the number one person in the imperial military, and the other was a legendary expert in the Loose Realm, yet they taught him to "evade taxes".
“Nephew! Do you think those powerful families have managed to stand strong for hundreds of years? It’s simple, they just follow two paths: ‘showing strength’ and ‘hiding strength’.”
"When one is deeply suspected by His Majesty, one must either conceal one's strength and bide one's time, or display one's strength to make His Majesty wary. In the end, one must reach a tacit understanding with the Imperial Family. The Imperial Family allows the nobles to maintain their rights, and the nobles must also acknowledge and support the rule of the Imperial Family."
When Qin Mu arrived, he looked at Qin Mo meaningfully and asked, "Do you... understand?"
Qin Mo nodded. "I, Qin Mo, hereby swear that if the imperial family does not harm me, I will never commit treason!"
Qin Mu understood Qin Mo perfectly: you should flex your muscles when necessary, and act submissive when appropriate. As long as you acknowledge the imperial family's status, no one can do anything to you.
Qin Mo's reply was even more straightforward: "As long as you don't kill me, I won't rebel!"
"Hehe! Old Qin, this 'shao' from the high-ranking official is indeed fragrant and intoxicating. I've never tasted such good wine at your residence before! Are you reluctant to bring it out?"
"He won't even produce a damn thing. My household stopped buying wine a long time ago; it's all been sent to me by this 'Prince Heng.' I never expected that this fellow would try to pass off inferior wine as the real thing. It's truly hateful... infuriating."
After finishing their business, the two top experts from Great Xia turned to look at Qin Mo and started teasing him. Qin Mo promised to deliver the wine to them on time before they were satisfied.
For the rest of the time, the two talked about ancient and modern times, while Qin Mo, standing to the side, was completely reduced to a waiter serving wine and cloth.
The two were drinking merrily, while Qin Mo was serving them miserably. My wedding night! Two beautiful women were waiting for me to favor them! Instead, they were here watching an old man drink. Could there be anything more tragic than this?
So by the time Qin Mo finally touched Kaihime's "Cherry Blossom Pavilion," the sky was already turning pale, making the girl wait all night. What a sin... what a sin.
I don't know exactly how the two beauties were ranked, but it seems that Lin Ruoxi lost when she rolled the dice. So, Qin Mo was to consummate the marriage with Kaihime first, and then go and harass Ruoxi. Therefore, Qin Mo, despite being full of alcohol, excitedly went to find Kaihime first.
The candles in the bridal chamber had turned into dripping candle wax, fulfilling their final duty in the dim light. The bride, adhering to etiquette, sat upright on the edge of the bed, her red veil covering her face, without moving an inch.
"Jiafei, I was drinking with the Prince of Yan and Uncle Zhou, so I'm late. Please forgive me, my lady!"
"Um!"
Kai still spoke in that docile tone, a single "hmm" expressing his inner feelings—a submissiveness that would satisfy any man.
"Wow, who did your makeup?"
When the veil was lifted, Qin Mo, who was squinting and preparing to enjoy the moment, was startled. Kai was originally extremely beautiful, but this makeup was really subpar. There were two big black dots drawn between her eyebrows, her lips were blood-red, and her face was frighteningly white.
"Kai...I've never studied makeup, my sister did my makeup...This is the most popular makeup style in Japan."
"Oh my god, your teeth are still black... Go get them cleaned right now."
Kaihime hurriedly got up to wash up. She also thought that the makeup Atsuhime had done for her was really ugly, but that's how Japanese women are made up. She also felt that she couldn't forget her roots. As a result, she almost scared Qin Mo into immobility.
After washing up, the bright and spirited long-legged beauty was back. Qin Mo beckoned with satisfaction, "Jiafei, bring that wine pot over."
Kaihime said with difficulty, "Your Highness...it's so late, do you still want to drink?"
"Fool, I want to drink the nuptial wine."
"oh oh!"
The Japanese woman's delicate steps were indeed beautiful. Kai quickly took the wine cup and wine pot and drank the nuptial wine with Qin Mo in a swift motion. It seemed that they had rehearsed it countless times in private.
"Oh! Kai, after drinking the nuptial wine... you know what to do next, right?"
Kaihime's face was already slightly flushed, but now it turned completely red. She lowered her head and uttered a soft "Mmm".
Qin Mo chuckled, sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out his arms like a lord, and watched how the long-legged beauty would react.
Kaihime moved closer with her head bowed and eyes lowered, her face flushed red, but she still began to help Qin Mo take off her outer clothes. She had just washed her hair again, and the pure, fresh scent of a virgin filled Qin Mo's nostrils, more intoxicating than a jar of fine wine.
"Sigh! I originally wanted to wait until she reached the Profound Realm before eating her, but things don't wait for anyone, so I'll just have to make do with the peak Yellow Realm!"
According to the experience of the cultivation world, a female cultivator's primordial yin is considered a gift to a man. Qin Mo originally intended to cultivate Kaihime to the Xuan realm, but under the current circumstances, he could no longer tolerate it. A wedding night ending with a monk? Ha! Does she really think I'm a sissy?
Qin Mo was helped by Kaihime to remove his outer clothes, leaving him only in the boxer shorts he had designed himself, and then Kaihime remained still.
"Kai, are you trying to freeze me to death by not coming up here?"
Qin Mo deliberately spoke in a harsh tone, saying that the cup of nuptial wine they had just drunk was the best disguise. With a slight activation of her vital energy, she would be full of the smell of alcohol. A man pretending to be drunk would definitely be the bride's nightmare.
Kaihime bit her lip and began to do it herself. Her hands moved faster and faster, and she took off the last few pieces of clothing as if she were escaping for her life.
Feeling the woman trembling gently on his shoulder, Qin Mo felt it was all worth it; his years of training had finally paid off.
The strong and valiant woman, the female CEO, who is so devoted to him in the bridal chamber—this was one of his most beautiful dreams back then, and now it has finally come true.
