Chapter 74: Chapter 59 Empress, Don’t Step on It! (Request for Follow-up Reads)

During these few slack days, Chen Mo didn’t idle around; instead, he started sketching out the design drawings for the "Three Holy Artifacts."

——Black silk stockings, leather pants, thongs.

As they were called "Holy Artifacts," naturally, they weren’t that simple.

The black silk stockings came with suspenders, the leather pants came with zippers, and the thongs featured lace cut-outs.

However, the latter two designs were so shockingly unconventional that even as mere blueprints, Chen Mo didn’t dare show them off lightly.

He decided to first get the stockings in order.

As for the material, he would use the Thousand-Woven Cloud Brocade bestowed by the Empress.

One dark and windy night, just before the curfew, wrapped up from head to toe, and certain there was no risk of socially dying—

Chen Mo stepped into the most famous clothing shop in Tiandu City, Jinxiu Workshop.

Once he arrived, he discovered that this world was much more open than he had imagined.

All kinds of fancy underwear were dazzlingly on display—tube tops, underwear, belly bands... some of the clothing was even smaller than the size of a palm; it could only mean that the people of Great Yuan led very rich night lives.

Chen Mo handed over the design drawings to the shop owner and made his requests clear.

Brimming with confidence, the shop owner thumped his chest and told Chen Mo to return in three days for the finished product.

Indeed, the effect was extraordinary.

The Thousand-Woven Cloud Brocade came from Shu Prefecture, woven from Heavenly Silkworm Silk, lightweight, flexible, impervious to water and fire, carrying the reputation of "an inch of cloud brocade is an inch of gold."

After soaking in a special solution and undergoing a series of processes such as stretching and spinning, the perfect black silk socks, a holy product, were finally made!

...

Yu Youhan looked at the thin-as-cicada-wing fabric in her hands, her expression slightly hesitant.

"Are these silk stockings?"

Black material, faintly transparent, much longer than usual silk stockings.

They looked odd.

"This should be considered pantyhose, just pull them on your legs... or would you prefer me to help you put them on?" Chen Mo offered enthusiastically.

Yu Youhan glanced at him and said indifferently, "No need, mere socks, I can surely figure out how to wear them."

She took the black silk stockings and walked into the inner hall.

A quarter of an hour...

Two quarters of an hour...

Half an hour...

Just when Chen Mo thought Imperial Consort Yu had stood him up, a figure slowly emerged from behind the screen.

Chen Mo turned his head to look and was momentarily startled.

He saw that under the plain usual attire, exquisite feet wrapped in black silk stockings stepped on a gold-woven carpet, creating a unique visual impact.

Yu Youhan’s expression was a bit unnatural.

These stockings were indeed outrageous; it was one thing for them to cover the thighs, but to have straps tied around the waist too...

Did Chen Mo design this?

What did he think about all day?

But then again, the texture was nice, the fabric was very elastic and felt soft against the skin, quite comfortable to wear...

Yu Youhan came over and sat in the Consort’s Seat, shaking her head, "With two major cases pressing down, you still find the time to indulge in these strange crafty arts? You really go to great lengths."

Chen Mo spoke earnestly, "Time is like milk; squeeze and there will always be some. Besides, I’ve always been passionately devoted to artistic creation."

...

Yu Youhan fell silent for a moment.

After a short pause, she lifted her legs.

Understanding her hint, Chen Mo sat on the other end of the chair.

Yu Youhan rested her calf on his knee; the creamy soft double feet wrapped in black silk stockings were slightly sheer at the tip, hinting at her bright, clear toenails.

"The embroidered brocade given by the Empress, worn on Your Highness’ legs, could this not be considered a kind of luxu—"

Strange thoughts flashed through Chen Mo’s mind.

He reached out to touch, the material silky smooth, a starkly different sensation from the previous times.

Feeling the slightly tensed arch of her foot—

Was the Empress a bit nervous?

He looked up but saw Yu Youhan with an expressionless face, showing no signs of anything unusual.

His gaze dropped down, and through the gap of the skirt’s hem, he could see the long, straight black silk-clad legs, where the edges of the black silk were tight against the flesh, making the voluptuous and well-proportioned leg flesh press into a ring of depression.

The contrast between the black silk and white legs was distinct.

At the edge, there were two straps continuing upwards, leading to the unknowable...

Chen Mo suddenly realized an issue.

The other end of the strap had to be tied at the waist, which meant the underwear had to be worn on the outside, but underwear were generally long and would surely cover the straps.

However, what he saw at a glance just now had no obstruction whatsoever.

Could it be...

...

Yu Youhan felt a bit odd.

In the past, this dog-like lackey would’ve been incessantly groping, but today he was unusually well-behaved?

And the red thread on her wrist didn’t show any reaction either... Could it be that the desensitization treatment had an effect, and her tolerance had become stronger?

Yes, that must be it!

Yu Youhan’s lips slightly curved upwards with a hint of red.

It seemed that the day she would rid herself of the Heart Demon was just around the corner!

She felt cheerful, and unintentionally, her exquisite feet moved, suddenly feeling something unusual.

What’s this?

Her foot stepped on it, and her toes lightly hooked it.

"Hiss!"

"Empress, don’t step on it!"

Chen Mo’s face changed, and he grabbed her ankle, his grip involuntarily tightening.

"Mm!"

"Mm~"

Both of them groaned at the same time.

?!

Their four eyes met, and the atmosphere turned deadly silent.

Yu Youhan’s gaze shifted from confusion to lucidity, eventually covering it with a cold frost.

"Chen Mo, do you wish to die?"

"I do not."

Chen Mo shook his head.

Her green phoenix eyes were filled with detachment, her voice cold, "Be gone from my sight within three breaths."

"Yes!"

Chen Mo bowed and quickly left the bedroom.

The inner hall quieted down.

Yu Youhan leaned back in her chair, the ice in her eyes melting away, a blush spreading across her cheeks, and gradually extending to her ears.

"This dog-like lackey is getting bolder!"

"How dare he..."

After taking a deep breath, the blush faded.

Once again, she adopted a cold demeanor, rejecting others from a thousand miles away.

Looking at the black silk stockings on her legs, she showed disdain in her eyes, hesitated for a moment, but still did not take them off.

"Too much trouble, I’ll wear them temporarily... I can’t be bothered to take them off."

Yu Youhan murmured to herself in a low voice, not knowing who she was speaking to.

...

Chen Mo quickly exited the bedroom.

The morning breeze hit his face, calming his restless Qi-Blood, and his mind cooled down.

"Xiao Chen, I have to criticize you. A big man can indeed bend and stretch... but at the wrong time, don’t stretch recklessly!"

"You nearly lost your head over a little one!"

Xiao Chen remained silent, silently protesting.

It wasn’t that Chen Mo lacked self-control, but the visual impact of those black silk legs was too strong, coupled with the "little secret" he had just discovered, his blood surged, and he couldn’t suppress it.

"An inch of Cloud Brocade is worth an inch of gold, but precious time cannot be bought."

Master Poet Chen sighed.

He decided not to visit Frozen Sky Palace for a while, waiting until the Empress cooled off.

At that moment, a surge of Soul Power suddenly infused into his Sea of Consciousness.

The extreme pleasure made him momentarily lose focus!

In the Spirit Platform, the Golden Body Miniature sat cross-legged, radiating a bright light, its facial features becoming clearer.

The whole world instantly became transparent, his senses heightened, observing the vibration of a kingfisher’s wing, the breeze that skimmed the rooftiles, and the tender shoots stirring in the soil... Although he didn’t dare envelop the Imperial Palace with his Divine Sense, he could be sure that his perception had at least doubled!

And that was just the surface changes; combat reactions, efficiency in running his Cultivation Technique, and subtle control over his True Yuan... all saw tremendous improvements!

"Is this the Soul Power of the Demon Fox?"

Chen Mo returned to his senses.

Yu Youhan’s cold voice reached his ears:

"Since you killed the demon, it is only right to give it to you."

"Also, practice this Cultivation Technique well when you return. Don’t come see me until you’ve mastered it!"

A golden light fluttered towards him, entering Chen Mo’s forehead.

A prompt flashed before his eyes:

[You have obtained the Heavenly Rank Top Grade Cultivation Technique: Supreme Heart-Cleansing Mantra.]

"Heavenly Rank Top Grade?!"

Chen Mo couldn’t help but be taken aback.

The Empress was always as generous as ever!

"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Highness. I shall strive until the end of my life in return for your kindness!"

Chen Mo bowed deeply in the direction of Frozen Sky Palace.

"This Heart Clarity Spell can remove distractions, focus the mind, and calm the spirit. It suits you well."

"If you dare to act rashly again..." freёnovelkiss.com

"I will castrate you!"

Yu Youhan warned coldly.

Chen Mo shivered with cold, hurriedly responded: "I wouldn’t dare!"
