I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 1318: Chapter 509: Sisters Team Up, Work Gets Easier! Shuishui’s Surprise Cram Session!

The door closed, and the air inside the room quieted down.

Ye Henshui slightly lowered her gaze and, after a long pause, spoke, "I wonder what brings Sister to seek me today?"

Hearing this form of address, Ye Zi’e felt a strange sensation in her heart and said, "It’s nothing much really; it was just that last time we met, it was too rushed. I didn’t get to talk to you properly or even know how you’ve been all these years..."

"After my foster parents passed away due to illness, my master took me into the sect, carefully nurtured me, provided for my needs, and taught me cultivation. Life has been quite manageable." Ye Henshui didn’t want to play the victim. From Chen Mo’s shared memories, she understood what her sister had been through over the years.

In comparison, the suffering she endured was nothing.

"That’s good to hear." Ye Zi’e nodded.

Ye Henshui, at such a young age, already had such cultivation, which was not only due to her exceptional talent but also thanks to the careful nurturing by her sect.

Furthermore, the master she mentioned had a deep and unfathomable aura. Even among Grandmasters, he must belong to the most elite category. Having the chance to be nurtured by such a Great Power was indeed Ye Henshui’s fortune.

"By the way, I still don’t know the name of your sect?" Ye Zi’e inquired.

The Moon Brilliance Sect was destroyed by Consort Yu, and since Ye Zi’e was a staunch supporter of the Imperial Consort, Ye Henshui certainly couldn’t reveal the sect’s details to her. She shook her head and said, "My master is just a Loose Cultivator who travels around and doesn’t have a sect. He usually hides his identity and rarely shows his true face, so even if I told you, you wouldn’t recognize him."

Ye Zi’e didn’t think much of it; after all, the Capital City was full of hidden talents, and some reclusive masters were nothing extraordinary.

But she was still somewhat puzzled and frowned, "Since your master acts so low-key, then why did you appear in a place like the Imperial Music Bureau?"

"This..."

Ye Henshui was momentarily speechless.

One lie requires ten to cover it up. At this point, she could only brace herself and continue spinning tales.

"I was accidentally captured by the Demon Clan and later rescued by Mr. Chen, thus developing feelings for him and followed him to the Capital City. My master wasn’t assured, so he followed as well... Later we met Miss Yu’er, and seeing her talent, my master took her under his wing. To make it convenient to pass on his teachings, he simply settled in the Imperial Music Bureau..."

These words were a mix of truth and fiction. Although slightly strained, they were still somewhat plausible.

"I see."

Ye Zi’e slightly nodded, not continuing the inquiry. She picked up the teapot from the table and, while pouring tea, casually asked, "Henshui, how long have you been with Mr. Chen?"

Ye Henshui thought for a moment and replied, "Just a few months, I suppose."

"Do you know how many women are around him?" Ye Zi’e raised an eyebrow, "He’s a well-known playboy in the Capital City; if you count all of his close female friends, it probably exceeds the number of fingers on two hands..."

"I know, but I don’t care. As long as he has me in his heart, that’s enough." Ye Henshui said indifferently.

"So no matter what status those women have, you won’t get jealous? Nor will you take it out on them because of that?" Ye Zi’e inquired.

"Of course not." Deep down, Ye Henshui always felt inferior, believing she wasn’t worthy of Chen Mo. Just being by his side was a blessing, and considering she had no name or status, what rights did she have to envy others?

"Alright, with your words, I can be at ease." Ye Zi’e breathed a sigh of relief.

?

Ye Henshui sensed something amiss and asked in confusion, "Sister, what do you mean by that?"

Seeing the slightly constrained expression on the other’s face, she suddenly realized, her lips slightly parted in disbelief, "You... you slept with Mr. Chen too?!"

Ye Zi’e’s mouth twitched, and she waved her hand, "It was an accident, just an accident... ahem, but rest assured, I have no intention of competing with you for him. If it bothers you, I can cut off relations with him immediately..."

As she spoke, she carefully observed Ye Henshui’s expression.

In fact, she didn’t want to reveal this so soon. After all, they had only just reunited as sisters, and their bond wasn’t strong. Coupled with Ye Henshui’s obsession with Chen Mo, a slight misstep might lead to a rupture in their relationship.

But eventually, the truth cannot stay hidden.

When she and Chen Mo were cultivating together, they didn’t yet know of Ye Henshui’s existence, which was somewhat excusable.

However, if kept hidden further, the nature of it would change entirely. If Ye Henshui found out, it would only further intensify the conflict. So it was better to come clean proactively.

After a brief shock, Ye Henshui returned to calmness, a complex expression flashing in her eyes. She softly asked, "How did you and Mr. Chen end up together?"

"Well, it’s a long story..." Ye Zi’e hesitated for a moment but eventually recounted the events from beginning to end.

"Dr-drugging him?!"

Ye Henshui nearly choked on her own saliva, her face turning red, "How could you do something like that? That’s too outrageous!"

Ye Zi’e felt a bit embarrassed and lowered her voice, "At the time, I was so focused on breaking through to Grandmaster that I lost my senses, but I received the punishment I deserved. As for that time in the Southern Border, it was purely accidental. Chen Mo didn’t have any particular fondness for me; you don’t have to worry about me competing with you..."

Ye Henshui bit her lip, her mind a mess, unsure of what to say.

Seeing her silent for so long, Ye Zi’e felt her heart sink to the bottom, biting her teeth, she abruptly stood and headed for the door, "I will clarify things with Chen Mo right now and cut ties with him completely, no more entanglements!"
