I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 1327: Chapter 513: A Gilded House for the Beloved! Husband Takes You to the Courtesan House!

Chen Mo and his two companions walked out of the Demon Suppression Department’s main gate.

Upon reaching a secluded area, Ji Hongxiu waved her hand to set up a barrier of isolation before asking, "What did you mean by what you just said? Why do you want me to bring Ling Yishan along?"

Originally, refining the Creation Golden Pill did not require the user’s direct involvement. It was only after hearing Chen Mo’s Divine Soul transmission that she changed her statement, casually fabricating the notion of "blending in Essence Blood."

Chen Mo explained, "I received information that someone intends to prevent Ling Yishan from rebuilding his Dao Foundation. During the alchemy process, the core forces of the Demon Suppression Department will be guarding the training ground, leaving the internal defenses vulnerable. I’m worried that leaving Ling Yishan here might pose a danger."

He did not mention the plan of the four major families to take advantage of the situation against him.

If the Daoist Venerable knew about this, he would prioritize his safety over the alchemy, which Chen Mo did not want.

"Then why don’t you just say it directly..." Ji Hongxiu paused, her expression growing more serious, "Are you suggesting there’s a mole inside the Demon Suppression Department?"

"It’s just a suspicion; I can’t be completely sure," Chen Mo said. "But since the other party knows about the alchemy, it means someone must have leaked the information, and this person likely holds a high position, possibly among the directors..."

"Of course, it could be that I’m overthinking, but being cautious isn’t wrong."

Ling Ningzhi listened with a perplexed expression, her throat moved, "Lord, are you saying someone wants to kill Grandpa?!"

"Don’t worry, I’ve made thorough preparations, and nothing unexpected will happen."

"At that time, Hongxiu will just need to focus on the alchemy, and the Empress will assist at critical moments. Zhi’er should just stay by Elder Ling’s side. Leave the safety to me; I assure you that no one will approach the training ground before the pill is completed."

Seeing Chen Mo’s confident demeanor, Ling Ningzhi’s anxiety eased, and she nodded, "Thank you, Lord."

"We’ve been together for so long, why be so formal?" Chen Mo pinched her cheek, smiling, "Since I said that Elder Ling would drink our wedding wine, I will naturally keep my promise."

"Hmm~"

Ling Ningzhi’s cheeks flushed as she hesitated for a moment, then rose on her tiptoes and gently pecked his lips.

"Lord, you’re so good~"

"Hmm..."

Chen Mo wouldn’t let her go so easily, starting an invasive mode.

Ji Hongxiu watched this scene from the side, her expression becoming somewhat awkward, silently preparing to turn away.

A large hand suddenly wrapped around her waist, pulling her over, and before she could speak, her lips were sealed.

After a long time—

Ji Hongxiu’s legs went soft, her breathing heavy, leaning weakly against Chen Mo’s chest, as if her bones had been extracted.

Chen Mo leaned to her ear, whispering, "How’s the taste of your disciple?"

"Lord! What nonsense are you talking about!" Ling Ningzhi stomped her foot shyly and angrily.

Ji Hongxiu’s eyes filled with mist, lips pressed together, she savored it seriously for a moment and nodded, "Hmm, not bad."

Ling Ningzhi’s face was burning, wishing to find a hole to crawl into.

"Now it’s your turn to taste your teacher..."

"Hmm??"

...

...

After a while of intimacy with the two, Chen Mo left the East Suburb, heading south of the city.

Ever since Yu Hongyin and Qiao Tong arrived at the Capital City, he had vacated an empty residence on Cui Ling Street for them to temporarily live in, as a gesture of hospitality.

However, due to numerous affairs recently, he hadn’t been able to tend to them, and having free time today, he intended to visit.

As he passed through the bustling busy streets, the environment gradually became serene, with clean, tidy white stone roads, and tall elms planted on both sides, their lush leaves akin to a canopy, creating a quiet amidst the chaos.

Though not a place like Ming’an Street or Jinglan Street where nobles reside, it’s considered a wealthy area in Tiandu City, where even a small courtyard costs hundreds of silver and isn’t affordable for ordinary people.

Chen Mo’s residence is centrally located, with three entrances and three exits, given to him by the Empress to honor his service during the ceremonial protection. The entrance bears the "Zhenyue Mansion" plaque.

The reason for choosing this location was simple—

Given Chen Mo’s reputation in the Capital City, residing in those noble areas would result in constant visitors, unlike the tranquility here.

When Yu Hongyin initially moved here, she hesitated, fearing it might negatively impact him.

However, Chen Mo was unconcerned, believing the house was meant to be lived in, and an empty house could gather some popularity. Besides, he was already recognized as a carefree gentleman, and his reputation couldn’t sink any lower.

As he approached Cui Ling Street, he heard a commotion from afar.

Chen Mo looked ahead to see a considerable crowd gathered in layers.

"What’s going on?"

He parted the crowd to get closer, noticing about a dozen constables in black uniforms encircling the entrance tightly. Through the door, he saw three figures confronting each other, the atmosphere tense.

Seeing some familiar faces, Chen Mo paused, "Zhu’er? Why is she here?"

Just as he regained his senses and prepared to step forward, a constable stopped him, saying in a deep voice, "Six Gates are investigating, idle folks quickly retreat!"

Chen Mo’s lips twitched, "This is my house."

?

The constable turned his head, saw the handsome face, and shivered, "Mr., Mr. Chen?"
