Maiden Galaxy

Chapter 296: The Most Beautiful Tender Home

TLN: Just wanted to let everyone know before you read this chapter that this was hit with censorship, so the translation I'm posting here is a composite from a couple different sources. As a result, there will be jumps in tone as the chapter progresses.

"Brother Mo!"

"Lord Husband!"

The two of them spoke in unison, dashing over in pleasant surprise.

This time, Chen Luan did not allow Northern Darkness Has Snow any room, and she tightly embraced Chen Mo. Chen Mo was unable to hold back his feelings and kissed his elder sister's red lips with fervent passion. Perhaps he had missed her for too long, but Chen Mo's hand very naughtily probed into his elder sister's secret place.

"Little Brother, there is someone else here." Chen Luan nipped Chen Mo's ear.

Only now did Chen Mo spot the girl in a black skirt and was also startled. He said in confusion: "Northern Darkness Has Snow, why are you here?"

Northern Darkness Has Snow stared dumbstruck at the affection between brother and sister…This embrace was unavoidably too affectionate.

"Lord Husband, how can you treat Sister Luan like this, you are going too far." Northern Darkness Has Snow ran up the steps and hugged Chen Mo's arm.

"Since when was I your Lord Husband?" Chen Mo was bewildered.

"You forged Serene Snow Falling Ink for her, and she helped fight Huan Wen together with you at the ceremony. Right now, everyone in the world knows that Fairy Northern Darkness has become a lovestruck girl determined on marrying you." Chen Luan unhappily said.

Chen Mo perspired and finally remembered.

Indeed, Northern Darkness Has Snow knew his identity. The name she dubbed that sword he forged back then, "Serene Snow Falling Ink," used homophones for their names, "Has Snow" and "Chen Mo."

Fancy that she had that bit of a romantic idea.

"Do not change the topic. Elder Sister, just what is the relationship between you and Lord Husband?" Northern Darkness Has Snow seriously asked. She was neither a skank nor a fool. That kiss scene between the siblings just now was honestly very vexing.

Just as Chen Mo was about to answer, Chen Luan covered his mouth and stole the initiative: "If I said I will be Brother Mo's wife in the future, can you accept that?"

"Huh?" Northern Darkness Has Snow let out an astonished yelp. The girl stared with her eyes wide in disbelief: "Sister Luan, though your mothers are different, are you and Chen Mo not siblings from the same father? How can…" Having three or four concubines was very commonplace in Star World. If she was pleasing to the eye, Northern Darkness Has Snow would not necessarily be unable to accept this, but marriage between siblings was too great a blow to her sense of ethics.

"Could it be, you and Chen Mo are not blood related at all?" Northern Darkness Has Snow very smartly thought of this possibility.

Chen Luan gave a seeming smile: "No, even if Brother Mo and I are blood related siblings, I already decided to become his wife. Isn't that so? Little Brother."

Chen Mo did not understand what she was planning, but he followed her lead. "Exactly. Northern Darkness Has Snow, Big Sis is my wife. Don't foolishly cause trouble."

"Don't tell me this…isn't an illicit…relationship." Northern Darkness Has Snow blankly asked. "Aren't you afraid of receiving ridicule from everyone in the world? Chen Mo, you are but the White Clothed Tanhua who killed Huan Wen."

"Sister Luan, you think over this carefully, too. Even if Lord Husband has established an achievement as high as the sky, if you siblings go against the ethics of the world, you will be criticized for generations. Chang'an Mansion would also be reduced to a laughingstock."

"Why should our true love care for their mockery." Chen Mo tightly clasped his big sister's hand, looking on with deep and sincere feelings: "Soon, I will ask Father for her hand in marriage, let him wed Big Sis to me."

Northern Darkness Has Snow was finally convinced that this brother and sister were insane perverts. This simply toppled her imagination.

The girl finally came to her senses. She bit her lip, her pitch-black eyes rolling: "Has Snow has an idea that will let us get the best of both worlds. I wonder if Elder Sister and Lord Husband would like to hear it?"

Hearing her still address himself as Lord Husband, Chen Mo was somewhat surprised.

In spite of of the shameless siblings' gaze, Northern Darkness Has Snow honestly said: "From Has Snow's perspective, Lord Husband and I marry first."

"Then?"

"Then…Elder Sister can also privately marry Lord Husband. Elder Sister and I would become sisters, and this way, people would not have any suspicions. Since this is Elder Sister, Has Snow can accept that." Northern Darkness Has Snow put on an expression as if she had made a significant sacrifice.

Chen Luan could not help but break into a smile.

Chen Mo was speechless.

What kind of best of both worlds method was this. It sounded like he was married to Northern Darkness Has Snow first, and then she was letting Big Sister commit adultery with him in private…Exactly, this was adultery.

"Northern Darkness Has Snow, what thoughts are in that brain of yours." Chen Mo bluntly flicked her little head.

"Is that so?!" Northern Darkness Has Snow was unreconciled. The Serene Snow Falling Ink sword in her hand was promptly unsheathed, and a swift sword-light sliced open the air, shooting directly at Chen Mo.

When Chen Luan saw this, she wanted to intercept, but she was held back by Chen Mo. Chen Mo was aware that she was unhappy. Without saying a word, he put on a faint smile. He then flourished his hand and used Northern Dipper.

"Blizzard Return!"

Northern Darkness Has Snow shouted, and her sword-wind magnified. The sword-light was like a blizzard filling the skies as it rained down in front of Chen Mo. Her Serene Snow Falling Ink's swordsmanship was all her own creation, produced back then during their encounters in the ice valley. Each and every move seemed to force Chen Mo back into that intersecting wind and snow.

Chen Mo slashed, issuing a desolate saber-qi. The sword-light covering the heavens vanished into thin air when it rolled into the saber-qi.

Northern Darkness Has Snow's second technique was used immediately. "Cold Wound Warm Sword" was an attack containing the feelings she had when Chen Mo healed her back then. The swordtip appeared chilling to the bone, forcing people back, but the truth was that the sword-qi was full of a Yang Qi's warmth. This hot and cold mix could be described as exquisite, and even Chen Mo himself could not help but give it praise.

Chen Mo used the Bagua's Li Center Empty to catch her Cold Wound Warm Sword. The next instant, sword-light and saber-light collided, and the coldness hidden in the sword was met with Chen Mo's tyrannical swordsmanship. The Northern Dipper Saber's pure Yang power was immediately rolled up by the Serene Snow Falling Ink Sword, surprisingly dispelling it somehow. 

Incredible.

He did not expect that this Cold Wound Warm Sword would actually still contain a parry. This caught Chen Mo off guard.

The number one genius of the Jianghu, Northern Darkness Has Snow, was indeed worthy of her might.

Chen Mo's desire for battle was piqued.

The two of them battled to and fro, evenly matched, and very lively. After a brief struggle, Chen Mo finally seized his chance. He closed the distance, his body techniques following the Bagua's Bowl. Northern Darkness Has Snow did not anticipate this. Her third and final technique, "Infatuated Heart Ice Soul" was promptly used. This sword contained the girl's pure feelings. The sword-wind was endless; it was soft, not hard. Chen Mo surprisingly had a feeling of powerlessness under her sword.

No, it was not that the sword technique was difficult to respond to. Rather, it was the feelings in her sword that left him helpless.

This Northern Darkness Has Snow truly put in a lot of effort. Chen Mo himself was somewhat surprised at her thoughts. His surprise passed in an instant. Chen Mo nevertheless did not relent. He used "Qian Three Linked," slashing thrice and tearing the endless sword-qi apart inch by inch.

Finally, Northern Darkness Has Snow sheathed her sword. She tightly bit her lip, her expression vexed.

"I need some time to organize the thoughts in my head." Northern Darkness Has Snow's brow was creased, somewhat annoyed by Chen Mo's clueless expression. She fled the wing, the back of her figure appearing somewhat angry.

"I didn't think Fairy Northern Darkness could be so cute." Chen Luan sighed.

"Big Sis, what are you doing teasing her?"

"Fallen in love with her?" Chen Luan seemingly smiled.

"I don't want her to misunderstand what kind of person you are, Big Sis."

Chen Luan quietly said: "If I said that you actually were blood related with your elder sister…Would you not want Elder Sister?"

Chen Mo's mouth hung agape. This question honestly was too prone to being censored.

"I will explain things to her." Chen Luan teased.

"I'll ask father for your hand in marriage." Chen Mo already decided.

"No."

"Why?"

"Did you forget Big Sis' words again?" Chen Luan sternly said.

The Inner Star Fields were indeed Chen Mo's greatest aspirations. Even now, that had not changed at all.

"Since we are husband and wife in reality, don't tell me we must let the entire world know of our married status? This is of no help to you right now. Wait for Big Sis to go to the Inner Star Fields, then we'll see."

Chen Mo felt that his elder sister seemed to be hiding something, but he thought it was not very easy to explain. The famous Human Sovereign Chen Zhangtian's concubine¹ turned out to have no relationship with him. This was an extremely serious blow to the Human Sovereign's reputation. Furthermore, doubt would be cast on the status of Chen Mo's mother. If her Star General matters came to light, that would feed back to Chen Mo.

Anything that happened to him would inevitably receive everyone's attention, even stir the guard of the Central Star Field.

From any angle, it was a bad move for the two of them to tell the world they were husband and wife.

"Very well then." In the face of his elder sister's determination, Chen Mo compromised. He hugged Chen Luan's supple body, showing a naughty grin. "Big Sis, then let's first go fulfill the ritual of the Duke of Zhou."²

"En." Chen Luan blushed but did not refuse.

Chen Mo entered his chambers, shutting the gate. The four Northern Mansion Soldiers stood guard outside.

Soft moans came from inside the bedroom.

Northern Darkness Has Snow appeared on the tiled roof opposite the Osmanthus Chamber. She watched with her own eyes the scene of Chen Mo carrying his elder sister into the bedroom. It required little thought to know what a man and woman were doing in there.

Northern Darkness Has Snow had calmed down very much, showing a gentle expression. A ruminating smile flit across the corner of her lips. She propped up her cheek and fell into contemplation. "Lord Husband, oh, Lord Husband…It seems your past is not so ordinary as simply being a Highness of Chang'an Mansion…"

Meanwhile, the couple engaged in all kinds of sweet lovemaking, up until morning, the details of which are omitted.

The next day.

The rays of the late autumn sun passed through the canopy and sprinkled onto the bed. Chen Mo was quietly looking at his beloved's sleeping posture. The remnants of last night's frenzied passion still remained on the girl, who was blushing across her entire face.

"Brother Mo, how much longer are you going to look." Chen Luan opened her eyes. She could not help but tease him.

Chen Luan rose up. Her black hair flowed down to her waist; her shoulders seemed to be sculpted, and her waist full. This was the beautiful scene of a belle waking in the morning, and this was the first time that Chen Mo had slept and rose together with his elder sister. No amount of looking felt enough.

Plans were to be made early in the day. From a cultivator's perspective, early morning when spiritual power was at its most dense was the best time to cultivate, but for some reason, Chen Luan did not want to cultivate at all right now. She only wanted to quietly nestle in Chen Mo's embrace and enjoy the warmth that this man gave her.

"Right, Little Brother, Princess Chang had orders for me to inform her after you awakened. Soon, you will go pay respects to the new emperor." Chen Luan recalled something.

"New emperor? The Great Chong Dynasty has changed regimes?" Chen Mo was taken aback.

"Too many things happened after you entered seclusion." Chen Luan quietly said.

Chen Mo had exhausted his spiritual power and Star Energy, using ten months to finally recover. During this time, he was unaware of the events in the Great Chong Dynasty that turned the sky and earth upside down.

The previous dynasty's Emperor Tang, Tang Mingshi, had called forth Huan Wen to attend the Title Bestowal Ceremony. The result was that Huan Wen nearly annihilated the Great Sword Sects and the aristocratic cultivators, drawing everyone's fury onto the dynasty.

Therefore, the Three Dukes, Nine Marquis, and the three Great Sword Sects united to force Tang Mingshi to abdicate.

Tang Mingshi's imperial bloodline was practically extinct, and the Four Great Imperial Guards were powerless to resist. In the end, he could only hand over the position of emperor to Sage King Tang Shijin.³

Tang Shijin and Chen Zhangtian shared a close relationship. His ascension was entirely instigated by Chang'an Mansion, after all, the person who killed Huan Wen was none other than a Highness of Chang'an Mansion. Everyone in the world wanted to see Chang'an Mansion's plans. Not long after Tang Shijin ascended, the former Emperor Tang died a cheerless death in the palace two months later, and a funeral was held.

The Chang Princess Xie Diaobing also replaced Huan Wen as the Great Chong Dynasty's number one Star General.

Originally, she was of the imperial bloodline, but having been trapped in Soaring Flame Mountain, she logically received the position of the Princess Chang now that her Cold Qi was dispelled.

Although Xie Diaobing's Realm was still not very high, she had a friendly personality. Her thoughts that were as clear as snow received everyone's respect. She also had the Star Name of Xie Xuan, the "Northern Mansion Soldier Master." Its renown was already equally matched with Chen Mo.

Chen Mo was actually unsurprised by these changes.

"The Three Great Sword Sects, how is Weiyu?" Chen Mo recalled Nianyou's affairs.

"She is unharmed. The Eastern Flower Sword Sect's headmaster Daoist, the Ten Great Law Protectors, and the Four Great Ancestors are all already dead. Right now, the Eastern Flower Sword Sect has already been destroyed. A new sword sect called the Eastern Lin Sword Sect has appeared on Western Turtle Island. Can you guess who its founder is?" Chen Luan smiled.

"Qing Wan?" Chen Mo recalled this girl.

"Qing Wan is your commander in Nan Jiang. She is a part of the imperial court, so how can she establish a sword sect. However, she indeed exerted a lot of effort to help establish the sword sect. That day, she and Nan Jiang's Star General came to the venue…" Speaking of this, Chen Luan's expression was a bit strange. She recalled that girl named Miaoling also had some feelings for Chen Mo. "But after two months, she returned to Nan Jiang because she needed to guard the border."

"I will go see them again in a few days. I'll need to properly thank them." Chen Mo said.

"Lirtle Brother, then have you figured it out?"

"Eastern Lin…Don't tell me it's Second Brother?" Chen Mo was astonished.

Chen Luan also smiled: "It's Second Brother. He's finally resolved to improve."

It was very fitting for Chen Lin to start a sword sect. His personality inherently was not a good fit for the imperial court, and he also had outstanding talent. To be the master of a sect, Chen Mo was confident that this would encourage him to mature even more quickly.

Brother and sister intimately chatted and laughed on the bed. Chen Mo looked at his big sister's pure white body, and his physiology unconsciously reacted again.⁴

"Big Sis needs to cultivate Star Energy in a moment. You can't be naughty." Chen Luan feigned coquettish anger. Last night, she was but nearly tormented to death by this rough little brother.

He actually dared to use those shameful positions on her body. Remembering it now made her body feel hot.

"Right, Big Sis, you and Northern Darkness Has Snow both have Star Energy, but you still don't have a cultivation method to cultivate the Star Energy, right?" Chen Mo asked. "I'll impart my Star Energy cultivation method to you two. It's called the Northern Dipper Great Overflow Chant."

"Sure."
