I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 1321: Chapter 510: Ji Lianxing’s Resolve! Disciple, You’re Not Allowed to Look at Your Master! (2)

"Saintess?"

"Hmm?"

Chen Mo turned his head and was taken aback, "Manzhi, why are you here?"

When did she come in? He hadn’t noticed at all. Was he too absorbed in his cultivation?

"Gu Manzhi" puffed her cheeks out with anger, hands on her hips, and said irritably, "I saw you hadn’t returned for a while, so I knew you must be up to no good, secretly giving Shuishui special treatment? Lord, you are too much!"

"If not for my master telling me you were here, I’d still be in the dark!"

So it was Ji Lianxing causing trouble!

He knew long ago that this woman was up to no good!

Chen Mo felt a bit embarrassed, shook his head, and said, "We already opened the room, I just helped Shuishui consolidate her cultivation... But you’re here at a good time, I recently received the Tianshu Pavilion Ancestor’s inheritance, my understanding of the Great Dao is now far beyond what it was, so I can use this opportunity to help you break through."

"Ancestor’s inheritance?"

Ji Lianxing’s heart skipped a beat.

It seems she guessed correctly, this man indeed has great fortune!

Before she could come back to her senses, she suddenly felt herself being pulled into Chen Mo’s embrace.

"Wait, wait, I’m not ready yet..."

"Gu Manzhi" looked flustered, her body tense, stiff as a board.

Chen Mo found it strange. Little Gu Saintess was always very proactive, why was she acting so odd today? Was she up to some play of teasing refusal again?

He checked briefly, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Aren’t you quite ready?"

"Gu Manzhi" trembled slightly, her heart almost jumped out of her chest, the mental preparation she had just made quickly collapsed, causing her to want to back out, "Um... I-I was just kidding, maybe I should not disturb your cultivation..."

As she spoke, she tried to get up and leave.

Chen Mo thought she was just feeling jealous, and patted Ye Henshui on the shoulder.

Ye Henshui understood, wrapping around like a snake, and tightly hugged "Gu Manzhi’s" waist from behind, saying incoherently, "Come on, Saintess, don’t be mad at me, it’s not like we haven’t practiced together before..."

"You’re mistaken, I’m not... uh?!"

Before she finished speaking, "Gu Manzhi" suddenly gasped, her delicate eyebrows knitted together.

"Hm?"

Chen Mo also realized something was wrong, looked down carefully.

Due to a lapse in concentration, her magic was slightly unstable, revealing a face with ghostly purple eyes and bright red lips.

Chen Mo’s pupils slightly contracted, looking at her in disbelief, "Why is it you?!"

Ji Lianxing gathered herself, hurriedly covering his lips with her hand, transmitting, "Don’t, don’t let Henshui hear..."

Chen Mo flicked a strand of Primordial Qi, sealing Ye Henshui’s five senses, and frowned, "Ji Lianxing, are you crazy? Why are you doing this?"

Ji Lianxing turned her head, biting her lip, and said softly, "When you deceived me into signing the contract, wasn’t this your plan all along? Now you act all innocent?"

Chen Mo shook his head, "The contract never had such requirements, those terms were just to stop you from acting recklessly..."

"Then let’s say I did it willingly, okay?" Ji Lianxing rolled her eyes, grumbling, "You’ve already bullied me thoroughly, this last step makes no difference, I’ve already lost so much, can’t I at least gain something?"

Chen Mo was momentarily unresponsive, "Gain what?"

Ji Lianxing said seriously, "I also want to practice like them!"

Back when Chen Mo taught Gu Manzhi and Ye Henshui the "Nine Heavens Supreme True Heart Scripture," she also learned by observing, and after this time of pondering, she had some insights.

"..."

Chen Mo’s mouth twitched, was he being seen as the experience baby?

"Sorry, I don’t want to."

Just as he was about to get up, a pair of jade legs suddenly wrapped around his waist, holding him tight.

Ji Lianxing blushed deeply, biting her lip, "The contract states I can’t induce or force you to do anything you don’t want to do, but the fact that nothing has happened to me yet means you don’t really object, right?"

Chen Mo’s expression paused, remaining silent.

Seeing this, Ji Lianxing had a clue, her mouth unconsciously curved into a smile, her previous nervousness suddenly relaxed.

So this guy had been planning this all along~

Hmph, such a hypocritical guy!

"You were tough enough when bullying me before, but now you’re afraid to act when it counts?" Ji Lianxing placed her hands on his shoulders, her crimson lips near his ear, whispering breathily, "Let me see what you’re really capable of, little brother~"

Chen Mo’s eyes deepened, taking a deep breath, nodded, and said, "Fine, you said it."

"Hmm... Hmm?"

Ji Lianxing suddenly felt something was off...

Her whole body was floating in the air, as if something had lifted her up.

"What just happened was only an appetizer. If you want to officially enroll and practice with me, you’ll first need to pass my thorough investigation," Chen Mo sneered, "Ready, Ji?"

Ji Lianxing: ???

...

...

Three hours later.

The night curtain rose, and the sky gradually darkened.

Chen Mo had left at some unknown time, leaving the room in silence.

Ji Lianxing stared blankly at the ceiling, a lingering blush still on her fair skin.

After a long while, she finally came to her senses, straining to sit up from the bed, gazing at the hint of crimson on the sheet with a complex look in her eyes.

"That bastard, he ran away so fast, as if afraid I’d cling onto him..."

She muttered to herself, fingers flashing with a dark light, cutting it off completely and keeping it close.

Rising to organize her clothes, she suddenly noticed a Jade Scroll placed on the bedside table, pressed under a note.

"What’s this?"

Picking up the note and glancing at it, she was stunned. It read:

[This is the ’Proof of Fruit Secret’, recording the insights and reflections of the Daoist Ancestor when he attained Ultimate Venerable. It should be useful to you.]

Ji Lianxing immersed herself into the Jade Scroll, finding it filled with vast information about the Tao Origin. The content was straightforward and thorough, more precious to her than any treasure!

"Hehe..."

"Seems this person isn’t completely heartless~"

Ji Lianxing’s eyes sparkled, revealing a silly grin, her once anxious heart now steady.

"Master?"

At this moment, a slightly hoarse voice came from behind.

Ye Henshui sat up, looked around bewildered, and groggily said, "Where’s Mr. Chen? Oh right, I remember the Holy Daughter came too, why isn’t she here?"

Ji Lianxing quietly pocketed the Jade Scroll and note, clearing her throat, "Ahem, the teacher is right here, Manzhi was never here. I think you’ve been studying so hard you’ve started hallucinating?"

"Is that so? This hallucination seems very real," Ye Henshui muttered, scratching his head, "I even remember her leaning over me, begging Mr. Chen for mercy. She was never this vulnerable before..."

?

Ji Lianxing’s cheeks flushed red like ripe apples, gritting her teeth, "Alright, stop talking nonsense here. We spent so long causing a mess, tethering the bed sheet, aren’t you ashamed? Let’s go back quickly!"

"Yes..."

Ye Henshui shrank his neck, starting to obediently tidy up.

...

...

Second watch of the night.

The night was pitch-black, Tiandu City already under curfew.

Chen Mo held a cat, walking slowly along the empty street, the cool night breeze gradually calming his heated mind.

Today’s happenings genuinely surprised him, he never expected Ji Lianxing to be so proactive... It’s not that he’s being sentimental, though this was all part of Gu Manzhi’s plan, the development was indeed too fast.

Dual cultivation benefits both parties, and the Dao Power of a First-grade Sorcerer is extremely formidable, allowing his cultivation to advance significantly.

Meanwhile, the progress of the event [Master of Moonlight] kept advancing, only a step away from the next stage rewards.

Ultimately, he was the one gaining the advantage.

"Ji Lianxing turned out to be the legendary Spring Water Jade Pot, comparable to the Daoist Venerable’s Nine Bends Corridor... Cough, cough, but that’s not the main point. The current situation in Tiandu City is unstable, having such top-tier fighting power on our side isn’t a bad thing..."

"As for what happens next, let’s just go with the flow."

Chen Mo pondered to himself, arriving at Ming’an Street.

Suddenly, he noticed something, halting his steps, and looked up.

Standing before the Chen Mansion was a figure, almost merging with the shadows. Under the bright moonlight, faint black mist could be seen swirling around.

"Sikong Zuiyue?"
