The next morning, before sunrise, the Yin-Yang School had already arrived. Mo Mo was still asleep, even though he was no longer in need of sleep. Shi Lan only got up after being called by other maids. She hurriedly helped Mo Mo wash up, and then they all rode in the Yin-Yang School's sedan chair with the main group towards the Mirage.
I only found out this afternoon from the Red Envelope Daily Report that Abony actually sent out red envelopes yesterday! I was so flattered! Thank you all for your support!

Chapter 131 Meeting
When Mo Mo arrived at the Mirage, he understood why only a minor leader of the Yin-Yang School had come to greet him. At that moment, apart from Donghuang Taiyi, everyone in the Yin-Yang School was lined up on the stairs leading to the Mirage to welcome one person. This person was handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and his appearance was eight parts similar to Qin Shi Huang. However, he did not have the domineering aura of Qin Shi Huang. Instead, he was filled with a refined and scholarly air, like a learned scholar.
“Young Master Fusu, no wonder. But then again, it’s only right that Young Master Fusu should be here at this time.” Mo Mo smiled softly as he watched Fusu exchanging pleasantries with the Yin Yang School members.
Shi Lan looked at him with some doubt, but she was a maid now, and a maid should do her duty, otherwise she would definitely arouse suspicion. So she just looked at Mo Mo with doubt and did not say anything.
Just then, Mo Mo took Shi Lan's hand, stepped down from the sedan chair, and said softly, "Let's go up and greet them loudly too, otherwise people will say we don't know etiquette."
When Mo Mo took Shi Lan's hand, Shi Lan subconsciously struggled for a moment. Just then, she heard Mo Mo's voice in her ear, "Don't struggle. The aura of the Shu Mountain martial arts on your body is too obvious. If you don't cover it up, you will definitely be recognized."
After she stopped struggling to break free from Mo Mo's hand, Shi Lan felt a warm current flow from Mo Mo's hand into hers. The warm current made her feel tingly and numb all over, which was extremely comfortable. Moreover, Shi Lan could clearly feel that this energy spread rapidly after entering her body and then completely enveloped her body, as if she were wearing an invisible garment.
In the blink of an eye, less than three breaths had passed since the warm current completely enveloped her. After another breath, the warm current from Mo Mo's hand stopped. However, Mo Mo did not let go of Shi Lan's hand. Instead, he led her hand to Fu Su and the others. For some reason, Shi Lan did not struggle at all and followed Mo Mo obediently.
Just then, Prince Fusu was very surprised to see Mo Mo leading a maidservant up to him. After all, the separation between men and women was still quite strict at the time, yet Mo Mo was openly defying public opinion by leading a maidservant up in front of so many people. However, thinking of Mo Mo's actions in Xianyang, he understood. After all, he was a celestial being, so naturally he was different from others.
Quickly regaining his composure, Prince Fusu bowed to Mo Mo in a disciple's salute and then said, "Sir, when did you arrive in Sanghai? If you had known you were in Sanghai, you would have already paid me a visit. May I ask where you reside?"
The Yin-Yang School members, Gongsun Linglong, and Chu Nangong were quite surprised to see that Prince Fusu respected Mo Mo so much. Even the Grand Master of Fate, who was gritting his teeth, was quite astonished. Although they knew that Mo Mo was the immortal master of the Great Qin, they did not know when Prince Fusu had become Mo Mo's student.
Shi Lan finally understood why Mo Mo was so confident that he could rescue her brother and avenge Shu Mountain. Putting aside his unfathomable strength, just his identity as the teacher of Gongzi Fusu was enough to easily rescue her brother. At the same time, Shi Lan sighed inwardly, realizing that she had not misjudged him. She just didn't know if Mo Mo would keep his promise, but she was already at a loss. After all, the Yin Yang School was too powerful for her.
After Fusu finished speaking, Xinghun replied directly: "Immortal Master has only been in Sanghai for a few days. He previously stayed at Haiyue Xiaozhu. Now, at the invitation of my Yin Yang School, he has come to the Mirage Tower to work with my Yin Yang School to refine the elixir of immortality for His Majesty the Emperor."
"Is this true? With a celestial master's help, the elixir of immortality must be within our grasp." Fu Su looked at Mo Mo with delight, while the people beside him were astonished, not understanding where Fu Su's confidence in Mo Mo came from.
The Yin-Yang School knew perfectly well that it was virtually impossible to refine an elixir of immortality. They were merely using the pretense of refining an elixir of immortality to exploit the power of the Qin Dynasty to create a mirage for them, far from the Central Plains and overseas.
Mo Mo did not give Fu Su a clear answer, but just smiled faintly. Knowing that Mo Mo did not want to say more, Fu Su did not press the matter further and gestured for Mo Mo to go first. Mo Mo did not stand on ceremony and pulled Shi Lan up to the mirage.
Facing Shi Lan, whose face was flushed with embarrassment as Mo Mo kept pulling her along, Prince Fusu couldn't help but take a few more glances. However, he couldn't see anything different about Shi Lan. She was no different from other girls of fourteen or fifteen years old. She was indeed a beauty in the making, but apart from her age, she was still far inferior to the likes of the Moon Goddess. She couldn't be considered a stunning beauty yet, which puzzled Fusu.
Then, Fusu had a flash of inspiration. Age? Could it be that the master prefers younger girls rather than mature and voluptuous ones? Fortunately, there are quite a few beautiful girls among these young boys and girls. Let them take care of the master. I'm sure the master would like that very much.
As for whether having these women serve the master would anger the immortals overseas and prevent them from bestowing the elixir of immortality, Fusu wasn't worried at all. In his eyes, Mo Mo was a living immortal. Why go to such lengths when there was already an immortal before him? Since it was all going to be an immortal anyway, he might as well give it to an immortal he knew.
As for whether Mo Mo is a deity, just look at his father. In fact, the people at the very top of the Qin Dynasty all know that Qin Shi Huang's body has long been exhausted. He is already starting to have difficulty reviewing memorials, let alone indulging in the pleasures of the harem.
However, after Mo Mo gave him a pill, Qin Shi Huang's body recovered to its peak condition. He had inexhaustible energy every day, and after reviewing the memorials, he could still make the concubines in the harem scream with envy. Unfortunately, no one has received a pill from Mo Mo since then. Finally, we can tell whether that pill was some kind of pill that could burn potential by looking at Qin Shi Huang, who is still the same after almost two months.
Designed by Gongshu Chou and primarily constructed by the Gongshu family with the assistance of the Yin-Yang School, the Mirage Tower represents the pinnacle of domineering mechanical arts and Yin-Yang techniques—an unprecedented and unparalleled masterpiece. Almost a floating city, this unimaginably massive engineering feat was intended for Xu Fu (Yun Zhongjun) to sail east in search of the immortal mountains and the elixir of immortality. However, historical records indicate it never returned, and it is suspected to have been taken to Japan.
To understand the sheer size of the mirage, one only needs to look at the half of Sanghai City shrouded in shadow at sunrise. Then there's the Fusang tree of Mount Shu; even a single root is taller than a person. Yet, planted on the mirage, not a single leaf can be seen from the outside. This illustrates the mirage's immense size. Compared to a modern aircraft carrier, it's utterly insignificant. Of course, this is a semi-fantasy world, and the technology of the real world cannot compare. But once technology advances to a certain level, even planet-sized fortresses are trivial matters.
Following the Yin-Yang School members, Mo Mo and his group walked for about five minutes across the long wooden bridge before finally entering the Mirage. Upon reaching the top, they discovered that the Mirage was not heavily guarded, with only some Yin-Yang School disciples patrolling.
In response to Fusu's question, Xinghun explained, "The mirage itself is a huge maze. If someone who is not familiar with the route enters the mirage, it will be very difficult to get out, and they will be trapped and die inside."
"I see. Take us to the alchemy room. His Majesty is very concerned about the pill-making process." Fusu suddenly realized, and then ordered Xinghun to lead them to the alchemy room.
Afterwards, Xinghun led Mo Mo and his group on a general tour of the Mirage. Of course, Chu Nangong and Gongsun Linglong were not qualified and did not accompany them up the Mirage. Only Li Si came up with Fusu. After touring some of the important parts of the Mirage, it was almost dusk, and Fusu and his group were satisfied and prepared to return.
After sending Fusu down from the Mirage, Mo Mo and the others returned to the Mirage. Shao Siming then led Mo Mo to a room that had been arranged for him not far from the alchemy room. It was a room somewhat similar to a Japanese room, with a master bedroom, a smaller room that was probably for the maids, and a study.
The room leads to a small courtyard with several cherry blossom trees. At this moment, the petals are falling. Under the trees, there is a small square pool, about two meters long and wide, and six or seven centimeters deep. The water is clear but there are no fish. There is a fish-shaped stone sculpture spouting water on the side. On the other side of the pool, there is an outlet that connects to an artificial stream, which is obviously for people to take baths.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Shi Lan opened it, and a beautiful maid of about fourteen or fifteen years old came in carrying a food box. She took out the food from the box and arranged it, then said, "Young Master Fusu specifically instructed us to take care of the two gentlemen. We will live next to them. Please feel free to ask us anything. From now on, we will be their people."
Mo Mo: "..." What's going on? Is this a concubine prepared for me?
Mo Mo was completely bewildered. Why did Fu Su suddenly send him several maids? He had already brought Shi Lan up with him. Besides preventing her from meeting Shao Yu and Tian Ming, he brought Shi Lan to avoid the Yin Yang Clan sending maids to him, which would restrict his movements. Unexpectedly, the Yin Yang Clan stopped sending maids, but instead, Fu Su sent several over, leaving Mo Mo speechless.
However, since the person had already moved in next to him, and it was also a gesture of goodwill from Fusu, he couldn't refuse, so he simply let it be and stopped paying attention to it.
After dinner, Mo Mo told Shi Lan not to wander around or make any rash moves. Then he had one of the maids lead him to the top floor of the Mirage Tower. Before leaving, Shao Siming had given him a note. The handwriting on the note was delicate and beautiful, obviously written by a woman. There was only one sentence on it, nothing else.
"Meet me on the rooftop at dusk, or I'll fight you to the death!"
Thank you abony for the donation.

Chapter 132 The Great Fate's Beauty Trap
When Mo Mo arrived at the agreed location, it was already completely dark. The maid who had brought Mo Mo there took him to the top floor and then left, leaving Mo Mo to go there on his own.
Mo Mo looked around and found that this was a small pavilion on the top floor of the mirage. The door of the pavilion was closed, and there was a viewing platform outside the pavilion. From the viewing platform, one could overlook most of the mirage and the scenery in the distance. It was a pity that it was night, but looking at the lights of thousands of homes in Sanghai City was also a unique experience.
As Mo Mo approached the pavilion, he noticed a tall, fiery figure in a red robe standing with his back to him, overlooking the entire city of Sanghai. Hearing his footsteps, the alluring figure didn't turn around, but simply said in a cool tone, "It's said that immortal masters are chivalrous and gentle, but in my opinion, that's not entirely true."
Hearing this, Mo Mo was taken aback and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
"If the Immortal Master is a person who cherishes beauty, how could he let such a delicate and beautiful woman like me wait here alone for half an hour while he was being blown around by the wind?" The alluring figure finally turned around, and this person was none other than the Great Master of Fate.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were back so early, so it took me a little longer to eat and made you wait here for so long. To express my apology, I've decided to give you a big hug." Mo Mo walked towards Da Siming with an apologetic look and then hugged her tightly.
The Grand Commander was clearly caught off guard by Mo Mo's sudden move and was stunned when Mo Mo hugged her. She only came to her senses when Mo Mo released her, and a flash of intense killing intent crossed her eyes.
The High Priestess lowered her head to conceal the murderous intent in her eyes, then used her inner energy to make her face slightly flushed, and said somewhat shyly, "I wonder what the Immortal Master thinks of me?"
Mo Mo was taken aback by the sudden change in Da Si Ming's attitude and was a little unaccustomed to it. After a moment of stunned silence, he chuckled to himself, "Looks like she's about to stir up some trouble!" So he swallowed hard, reached out and took Da Si Ming's small hand, and said, "Very good, you are beautiful to my heart, even more beautiful than the Moon Goddess."
As Mo Mo took her hand, a hint of coldness flashed in Da Siming's eyes again, but she still said sweetly, "It's windy outside, let's go inside and talk." Then she pulled Mo Mo step by step into the pavilion.
Upon entering the attic, Mo Mo was taken aback by the furnishings: a large pink bed, pink gauze curtains, rows of bright red candles, a pot of wine and two wine glasses on the table, and a unique fragrance permeating the room. This was clearly a honey trap!
"Husband, my lord, I wonder if you are satisfied with my arrangements?" The Grand Master of Fate finally gritted her teeth and called Mo Mo "husband," and Mo Mo was almost stunned by the Grand Master of Fate's use of the word "husband."
"How big of a game is she playing? What exactly is she trying to do?" Mo Mo decided to hold back and see what Da Siming was up to.
"Husband, am I really more beautiful than the Moon Goddess?" The first time is always difficult and hard to break through, but once you break through the first time, the second and third times become relatively easy. This is the case with Da Siming at this moment. Now she calls Mo Mo "husband" very smoothly and naturally.
"Yes, you are much prettier than the Moon Goddess." Mo Mo said seriously, but he did not agree in his heart. The Grand Master of Fate was indeed on par with the Moon Goddess in the past, but now the Moon Goddess had taken Mo Mo's pills and had been transformed, and was already a notch above the Grand Master of Fate.
Hearing Mo Mo's affirmative answer, Da Siming was overjoyed, then murmured, "It's a pity the Moon Goddess didn't come. By the way, where is the Moon Goddess? Where did she go? Why can't we contact her?"
"So you wanted to gather information, huh?" Mo Mo smiled slightly and said, "They are currently living in a secluded paradise, far from the world, so of course you can't contact them."
"What a pity, His Majesty the Eastern Emperor misses her terribly. Husband, wait for me a moment, I have a surprise for you." Saying this, she reached out her small hand to touch Mo Mo's face and then ran behind a screen in a corner with a smile.
A few minutes later, the High Priestess, dressed in a transparent gauze robe, with her long hair flowing freely and her bare feet bare, walked gracefully toward Mo Mo, lightly biting her red lips. Her proud figure was faintly visible through the gauze robe, and her slender breasts were occasionally exposed to the air with each graceful step, making people's noses bleed.
After Da Siming walked to Mo Mo's side, she sat directly in his lap, then wrapped her arms around his neck and breathed softly, "Husband, are you really a god? Can you really concoct an elixir of immortality?"
Mo Mo took the opportunity to embrace Da Si Ming's alluring body, secretly chuckling, "So this was your real purpose?"
Mo Mo feigned eagerness and began to grope Da Siming, while Da Siming fended off Mo Mo's advances and tried to coax him into revealing information. After thoroughly enjoying her touch, Mo Mo slowly said, "Of course, but refining the elixir of immortality is no easy task. It requires gathering the essence of the nine heavens and the finest elements of the earth, adding various rare and precious materials, and refining it for forty-nine days. Once the elixir is complete, taking one pill will grant you lifespan equal to the sun and moon. Do you want one? I have one left; I'll bring it to you next time."
Hearing Mo Mo's words, Da Siming was overjoyed, forgetting all about how Mo Mo had just taken advantage of her. She looked at Mo Mo with deep affection, as if he were a priceless treasure. After kissing Mo Mo on the cheek, she took the wine pot from the table, poured two cups of wine, handed one to Mo Mo, and then said shyly, "Husband, it's late. Let's drink this cup of nuptial wine and then rest."
Mo Mo took the wine glass, smiled slightly, and said, "What you say is absolutely right, my beauty. A night is worth a thousand pieces of gold, so we should indeed rest early." Then the two crossed their arms and drank the wine in their hands in one gulp.
Mo Mo slammed his wine glass down on the table, then picked up Da Siming and carried her to the pink bed.
As the large bed drew closer, Da Siming silently counted in her mind. When she counted to ten, Mo Mo suddenly stopped, and Da Siming wrapped her arms around Mo Mo's neck and said with a coquettish smile, "How does the Ghost Control Pill taste? This is a Ghost Control Pill that I specially ordered Yun Zhongjun to refine a hundred times. The Ghost Control Pill can control people as easily as exorcising ghosts. Even if you are an immortal, if you eat my Ghost Control Pill, you will only become my puppet."
However, Da Siming couldn't continue speaking, because her luscious red lips had already been taken by Mo Mo, and at some point, she had been placed on the pink bed by Mo Mo.
Startled, Da Siming quickly regained her senses and was about to resist when she unexpectedly managed to push Mo Mo away. After pushing Mo Mo away, Da Siming shouted in shock and anger, "Stop!" At the same time, she made a hand seal to control the person controlled by the Ghost Control Pill.
At that moment, Mo Mo smiled slightly and shattered Da Siming's illusions, saying, "You think you can control me with that inferior mud pill? I have to say you're adorably naive."
Just as Mo Mo grabbed Da Siming's hands again, Da Siming suddenly remembered that she had no ability to resist when Mo Mo forcibly kissed her last time, but this time she was able to push Mo Mo away. Obviously, although the Ghost Control Pill failed to control Mo Mo, it also greatly damaged his vitality. He was not invincible now, and she still had a chance to subdue or even control Mo Mo.
Thinking of this, Da Siming became somewhat excited and desperately resisted Mo Mo's attacks. However, Da Siming, who was in the midst of her excitement, did not see the hint of mockery in Mo Mo's eyes, nor the gauze dress that Mo Mo had already removed from her body.
She was jolted awake by the sharp pain in her lower body, but it was too late. However, she still held onto a sliver of hope that if she could catch Mo Mo off guard for a moment, she might still have a chance to turn the tables.
Seeing the Grand Master of Fate struggling desperately with tears in her eyes, Mo Mo felt a pang of guilt, but she did not stop her actions. Moreover, the Grand Master of Fate's eyes became increasingly glazed, and in the end, she unconsciously cooperated with Mo Mo.
The next morning, sunlight streamed in through the window. Da Siming's eyelids fluttered, and she opened her eyes. Gazing at the sunlight streaming in, she was lost in thought. When she turned and saw Mo Mo's calm and handsome face, a cold glint flashed in her eyes. She propped herself up, gathering her inner strength in her palm to strike Mo Mo's head. However, just as her palm was about to strike, she frowned, the inner strength in her hand dissipating. Then, enduring the pain in her lower body, she sat up, leaving her proud figure exposed to the air, and sat down beside Mo Mo to begin meditating and cultivating.
A few minutes later, the High Priestess opened her eyes and looked at Mo Mo, who was still fast asleep, with a complicated expression. She noticed that Mo Mo's power had increased significantly. With a flicker in her eyes, the High Priestess made a decision that she would later be both grateful for and somewhat embarrassed by.
Seeing that Mo Mo was still asleep, Da Siming slowly got up and prepared to get dressed. Just then, Mo Mo smiled and hugged Da Siming from behind again, then pinned her down. Thus, beautiful music filled the small pavilion in the early morning.
An hour later, the Grand Master of Fate left the pavilion with a radiant but angry expression, and Mo Mo followed closely behind.
After leaving the attic, Mo Mo returned to his residence. When Shi Lan saw Mo Mo, she subconsciously asked him, "Where did you go last night? Why didn't you come back all night?"
Mo Mo looked at Shi Lan with a puzzled expression, then smiled and said, "Are you worried about me?"
Shi Lan quickly denied it, but her face was a little red. When she noticed that Mo Mo was staring at her, she said angrily, "I'm worried that if you die, no one will save my brother."
Seeing that Shi Lan was somewhat embarrassed and angry, Mo Mo stopped teasing her. Just then, Shi Lan suddenly walked to Mo Mo's side, wrinkled her delicate nose, and sniffed around Mo Mo, then said angrily, "You actually went out to find a woman, and it was that hateful executioner, the Grand Master of Yin Yang School."
Mo Mo was somewhat surprised to see Shi Lan suddenly become angry. Then he thought of the introduction about Da Siming in the original drama, and then he thought of the deep-seated hatred between Yin Yang School and Shu Mountain. Da Siming probably had a lot of Shu Mountain people's blood on his hands.
So Mo Mo told Shi Lan in detail what happened last night, and Shi Lan listened to everything Mo Mo said from beginning to end while blushing. Mo Mo was stunned because he also mentioned some very private things, but Shi Lan listened to everything while blushing.
After Mo Mo finished speaking, Shi Lan's words almost made him fall to the ground. After he finished speaking, Shi Lan said to Mo Mo with a flushed face, "If you want to in the future, I can satisfy you, but I will not allow you to go to that woman again. If you want her, you can, but you must make sure she can't get out of bed for three days."

Chapter 133 Dongjun Yanfei
Mo Mo "..."
I look to the heavens and ask for a return to the gentle, virtuous, aloof, and noble Yu Ji. This must be a fake Yu Ji.
Mo Mo really wanted to ask Shi Lan why, but then he quickly dismissed the thought. Don't ask me why.
Seeing Shi Lan's flushed face, Mo Mo wanted to tease her, so he gently called out "Xiao Yu" and stared at her intently before slowly leaning his head closer.
When Shi Lan looked up, she saw Mo Mo gazing at her affectionately, and the two were getting closer and closer. She was startled at first, then tilted her head back slightly and closed her eyes.
Mo Mo was slightly taken aback when he saw Shi Lan with her eyes closed, her face flushed, looking like she was ready to be taken. He hadn't expected Shi Lan to accept him so easily.
But since the beauty had agreed, how could he not kiss her? So Mo Mo quickly kissed Shi Lan's delicate red lips.
