I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 1303: Chapter 502: The Empress Matching from Afar! The Empress Broken Again! (Part 2)

"Ahem, who told you to look at this? Look further..." Chen Mo felt slightly embarrassed, reaching out to turn the scroll to the third Chapter.

"Unity of Heaven and Earth, Alignment of Humans and Nature?" Ji Hongxiu read with skepticism, carefully studying it, her expression gradually becoming solemn.

With her keen eyesight, she could naturally see the extraordinary qualities of this cultivation technique.

Although it’s a dual cultivation method, its grade is high, effective even for the Ultimate Venerable.

By practicing this Heart Sutra, both parties can merge their Dao power, forming a circulation, endlessly regenerating, thus achieving the harmony of Yin and Yang.

With the blessing of this cultivation technique, Chen Mo’s Origin Power of cause and effect can be utilized to help her fuse her Divine Soul, achieving twice the result with half the effort!

"No wonder you insisted on bringing me to the Heavenly Pond to heal. You had this in mind all along?" Ji Hongxiu realized at that moment, yet she had to admit it was the only solution for the present.

Chen Mo waved his hand, saying, "I only suggested it. If you don’t want to, that’s fine. I’ve always respected women and never do things against women’s wishes."

"..."

Though Ji Hongxiu was a bit shy, she could tell what was important. At this critical juncture, she naturally wouldn’t be coy and nodded, "Of course I’m willing..."

Chen Mo, however, remained unmoved, crossing his arms in front of his chest, saying indifferently, "Willingness alone is not enough. As we agreed earlier, unless you ask me first, I won’t do anything rash."

Seeing his arrogant demeanor, evidently still holding a grudge from before, Ji Hongxiu muttered quietly, "Stingy guy, I’m just talking, if you really did anything, could I even stop you?"

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow, "What are you mumbling about?"

Ji Hongxiu shook her head repeatedly, "Nothing, nothing."

From the current situation, today she must give him a way out.

Ji Hongxiu hesitated for a moment, then slipped off the robe clinging tightly to her snow-white skin, dazzlingly bright, then got up and sat directly on Chen Mo’s lap, face to face.

Her arms like jade lotus, encircling his neck, her lips parted slightly, whispering with a hint of tremble by his ear, "Disciple made a mistake in my cultivation, I humbly request guidance from Granduncle Master..."

?

Chen Mo was a bit stunned.

Goodness, are we playing role-playing now?

If he’s the Granduncle Master, then what’s the Daoist Venerable? Zu Chongzhi?

Seeing no response from him, Ji Hongxiu’s face grew even hotter, biting her lip, her head slowly submerged beneath the water—

However, upon seeing the scene before her eyes, she was utterly stunned, her beautiful eyes wide open, filled with disbelief.

"How, how is it different from before?!"

"This is just too..."

At this moment, Chen Mo’s voice came into her Sea of Consciousness, "Since you’re so sincere, I’ll begrudgingly guide you a bit... Rebellious disciple, are you ready to face the master’s reprimand?"

Ji Hongxiu: ???

...

...

Tiandu City.

Steam rose from the Haitang Pond.

Yu Youhan was soaking in the warm pool water, with Xu Qingyi kneeling behind her, using a silk towel to wipe her back. Water droplets rolled down her jade-like skin, glowing with a tender luster.

"Has there been any movement from Zhuang Jingming recently?" Yu Youhan asked.

Xu Qingyi shook her head, "Ever since the earthquake at the Eastern Royal Palace, the Jiang Family hasn’t taken the initiative to contact him, which suggests they’ve realized something."

Yu Youhan sneered, "These noble families always act cautiously. Seeing no news of Wu Lie’s death, they must have guessed the plan failed, and Zhuang Jingming knows he’s been used, so he naturally won’t let it go. Following this, the Jiang Family people probably won’t easily show themselves again..."

Xu Qingyi inquired, "What should we do next?"

"Nothing needs to be done. They’ve planned for years, it’s impossible for Zhuang Jingming to be their only chess piece. To recover their declining power, they will surely make a big move in the court. We just need to quietly wait for them to reveal their weak points."

"As long as we can follow the clues and find Wu Lie’s hiding place, all problems will naturally be solved."

Previously, Yu Youhan was constrained by the rules, unable to use force arbitrarily, restricted in every way.

But now things are different. With Chen Mo having her back, she can act freely, stirring up Tiandu City if need be, what’s there to fear?

Xu Qingyi hesitated for a moment, carefully asked, "If by chance the sky changes, will Her Majesty still keep the promise made to me back then?"

"What promise did I make to you?" Yu Youhan didn’t immediately recall.

Xu Qingyi lowered her head, her voice like a mosquito’s, "You said back then, after resolving the palace troubles, you’d take me to the Chen Mansion, let me... let me become Chen Mo’s concubine..."

?

Yu Youhan felt both amused and annoyed, "Now it’s still early days, and you’re already thinking of being someone’s concubine? Can’t you aspire to something more?"

Xu Qingyi’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment, shook her head, "I have no grand ambitions, just want to serve Her Majesty by her side all my life..."

"Alright, as if I don’t know what you’re thinking? You want to warm the bed for Chen Mo, right?"

Yu Youhan glanced at her, snorting coldly, "Rest assured, I keep my word. The promise I made to you won’t be broken. Even if you end up giving birth to a litter for Chen Mo, no one will care."

Xu Qingyi, as a palace female officer, understood the rules. Seriously, she replied, "I wouldn’t dare precede Her Majesty. The birth order would still have to be Her Majesty first!"

Yu Youhan: "..."

At that moment, noises erupted from outside.

The panicked voice of a palace attendant, "Her Majesty the Empress, Her Majesty the Consort is currently bathing, you cannot enter!"

"Do you dare block me? Do you believe I won’t have your head chopped off?" The Empress came to the bathhouse door, knocking forcefully, infuriated, "Yu Youhan, stop hiding and playing dead inside, come out and clarify things! What exactly did you do in my bedchamber that day?"

Xu Qingyi, frowning, spoke confusedly, "The Empress has already come five or six times in recent days, asking for an explanation, what does she mean?"

Yu Youhan rubbed her temples, her head ached a bit.

She naturally had an understanding of why the Empress had come.

That day, after walking in on the absurd scene with Chen Mo, the Empress, and the Princess at the Xuanqing Pool, angry and frustrated, she initiated dual cultivation with Chen Mo in the Yangxin Palace’s bedchamber...

At first, she could barely hold it in, but who knew Chen Mo became more and more vigorous, coupled with the effect of the red silk, causing her consciousness to become blurry, voicing some nonsensical words uncontrollably...

At that time, the Empress was just a door apart from them; upon hearing, she immediately broke down...

In the subsequent days, Chen Mo stayed in the Government, using official duties as an excuse, never entering the palace. The Empress, unable to see him, would come here every day to make a fuss, which became quite a bother.

Knock, knock, knock—

The Empress continued to knock persistently, "Yu Youhan, come out!"

"She messed up first, but still has the face to trouble me?" Yu Youhan’s face turned icy, gritting her teeth, "I’ve yielded repeatedly, and she still pushes her luck! Does she really think I’m afraid of her?"

Splash—

Yu Youhan stood up, evaporated the moisture from her body, draped on a robe, and walked toward the door, ready to confront the Empress head-on.

But just as she reached the door, her expression suddenly changed, a scalding heat surged from her wrist, a quiver deep from her soul erupted, more intense than ever, instantly enveloping her awareness!

"This Dao power fluctuation, is it the Origin of cause and effect?"

"What exactly is that dog-like lackey doing?!"

Yu Youhan supported herself against the door, trembling all over, a blush spread across her white skin.

Despite her efforts to endure, a muffled groan involuntarily escaped her throat.

"Mmm..."

"Chen Mo, not now..."

???

Outside the bathhouse, everything fell silent.

Soon after, even more vigorous door-pounding ensued, accompanied by the Empress’s aggrieved cries:

"Yu Youhan, you are playing that trick again?!"

"Little thief, are you in there too? What on earth are you doing?"

"You shameless female demon, stop this instant, I forbid you to touch him..."
