Inside the grand bedchamber, a seductive woman in a red dress relentlessly rained down punches on the man beneath her.
Each strike landed squarely on Chen Mo's once-handso face.
[Ding! Favorability 1. Acquired 2 Favorability Coins.]
[Ding! Favorability 1. Acquired 2 Favorability Coins.]
Queen dusa's anger gradually subsided.
However, just as she was about to stop, Chen Mo—his face swollen beyond recognition—muttered in a barely comprehensible voice:
"Your Majesty... your figure is really amazing."
As he spoke, he painfully raised his hand and grazed her jade-like waist.
In an instant, rage once again filled Queen dusa's chest, her brows furrowing tightly.
Her fists resud their assault.
But this ti, no matter how much Chen Mo endured, no matter how much he provoked Queen dusa—
No additional favorability points were gained.
It seed... he had hit the daily limit.
Realizing this, Chen Mo quickly begged for rcy:
"Your Majesty... I was wrong. I really was wrong... please... stop...!"
His slurred words made him sound utterly ridiculous.
Hearing his plea, Queen dusa's expression remained cold, but her movents ceased.
Unseen by Chen Mo, a faint blush colored her cheeks.
She flexed her wrist, feeling slightly sore after beating him for so long.
Casting a sidelong glance at him, she yanked the pendant from his neck, her voice icy:
"Disgraceful slave... how dare you defile ? I'll spare you for now, but tomorrow... I will teach you another lesson!"
With that, she delivered one final punch.
Chen Mo's vision went dark, and he passed out.
Chen Mo was carried back to his room by Snake Tribe guards.
Every Snake Tribe mber who saw his battered appearance couldn't help but click their tongues in amazent.
It was brutal.
His body was covered in bruises, his face swollen like a pig's head, and even his eyes were uneven in size.
Inside his room, a Snake Tribe servant pulled a wooden tub from his storage ring, filled it with water, and poured in the dicine Queen dusa had prepared.
Then, without even bothering to remove Chen Mo's clothes, the servant dumped him into the tub before leaving.
Cough cough...
Chen Mo woke up to darkened skies, finding himself soaked in dicinal water.
As he tried to move, a dull ache spread throughout his body.
He winced in pain, but soon realized—
The swelling had gone down quite a bit.
"Didn't expect Her Majesty to have such a unique way of showing affection."
Leaning lazily against the tub, Chen Mo's mind wandered, picturing Queen dusa's face.
Despite his still swollen features, he grinned like a fool.
Today, he had extracted a total of 14 favorability points and 21 favorability coins from Queen dusa.
"An ice queen? Doesn't matter. One day, I'll break through that cold exterior."
"And then... I'll pin you down on the bed."
After finalizing his next steps to continue farming favorability, Chen Mo wasted no ti.
He swallowed a Healing Pill and added a Recovery Elixir into the bathwater.
"Tomorrow, I'll be her punching bag again. I need to heal up fast."
After that, he also took a Qi Gathering Pill, which would increase his Dou Qi absorption rate.
Then, he activated a Mont of Enlightennt Incense.
Previously, he had used up four to cultivate the Netherworld Death Seal.
Including the one he just received from Queen dusa, he still had four remaining.
"No need to hold back."
The mont the incense was used, his mind cleared.
Without hesitation, he began circulating the Supre Primordial Art, his entire body turning into a black vortex, hungrily absorbing the surrounding Dou Qi.
anwhile, in the Bedchamber
Queen dusa held two pendants—
One was Chen Mo's, which she had forcibly taken.
The other... was hers.
If Chen Mo had been here, he would have imdiately noticed—
The two pendants were identical.
In fact, the other half of his pendant was in Queen dusa's hands.
"I never thought my sister would give him the Twin Heart Pendant..."
"It seems... she truly has feelings for that human."
Queen dusa gripped the pendant tightly, her thoughts turning dark.
"Tomorrow, I'll make sure to punish him even more."
As she recalled Chen Mo's swollen, pig-like face, a small smirk appeared on her usually icy lips.
Suddenly—
The Dou Qi within the palace began to surge chaotically.
Queen dusa's brows knitted together as she imdiately locked onto the disturbance's source—
Chen Mo's room.
"What kind of cultivation technique is he using? How could it be so domineering?"
Despite her curiosity, Queen dusa waved her hand, instantly erecting a barrier that isolated the energy fluctuations from the outside world.
Elsewhere in the Snake Tribe's Palace
"You're telling ... that human was carried out of the Queen's bedchamber?"
Mo Ba Si, the leader of the Snake Tribe's warriors, narrowed his eyes.
"Yes," the guard replied. "Earlier, my brother even heard sounds of battle coming from Her Majesty's chamber. You should've seen the human when they carried him out—he looked absolutely miserable. His face was swollen like a pig's head."
"Hmph! Serves him right," Mobaas sneered.
"That fool had a chance to escape but chose to walk into his own grave."
Then, after so thought, he continued:
"It seems... Her Majesty truly sees him as nothing more than a slave."
"Then... should we...?"
The guard gestured toward his neck, mimicking a throat-slitting motion.
Mobaas hesitated briefly before shaking his head.
"If Her Majesty has no interest in that human, then we don't need to interfere for now. Overstepping our bounds might only anger her."
Though he hid it well, deep down, Mobaas harbored a secret admiration for Queen dusa.
"Understood," the guard nodded.
The Next Morning
Splash!
Chen Mo rose from the dicinal tub, got dressed, and washed up.
Although he hadn't broken through overnight, he wasn't surprised.
Even with a top-tier cultivation thod like the Supre Primordial Art, breaking through a Dou Shi rank overnight without external resources was unrealistic.
However, at his current pace, he estimated that in about a week, he could absorb enough Dou Qi to advance from a four-star Dou Shi to five-star.
Inside the Bedchamber
Queen dusa had just finished freshening up and was about to send soone to summon Chen Mo.
But before she could—
A familiar voice called out from outside the door.
"Your Majesty, I'm here!"
Queen dusa: "???"
"...Co in," she responded, her cold tone tinged with mild surprise.
The doors opened and shut.
Although the swelling on Chen Mo's face had gone down, his once-handso features were still a ss.
Yet, despite his rough appearance, he still had an undeniable charm.
The mont he stepped inside, he flashed a grin and said:
"Your Majesty, I thought about you all night."
He went straight for the kill, taking every opportunity to farm favorability.
Unfortunately—
The system remained silent.
Queen dusa let out a mocking laugh.
"Human... you'll say anything just to make go easier on you, won't you?"
Chen Mo said, "Your Majesty the Queen misunderstood, you look much more beautiful today!"
