I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1008

Chapter 1008: Chapter 375: The Empress Arrives! Empress and Empress Face Off!

The other side.

After leaving the Li Mansion, the man in black did not leave via the main road, but instead plunged into the moat, swimming like a fish under the water, swiftly moving towards the inner city.

He never surfaced to breathe during the entire journey.

Nearing the inner city, he emerged silently from the river, not a drop of water on his clothes.

Just as he was about to enter the inner city, a cold voice suddenly came from behind: "Too slow, I’ve been waiting here for you for a long time."

?!

The man in black was startled with terror.

"This is bad!"

Though shocked, his reaction was swift; without turning his head, he retreated dozens of yards, instantly reaching into his cloak to grab the jade pendant, ready to crush it at once.

Since the opponent could pursue him all the way here, it means his identity had been exposed.

Now trapped in an ambush, it is difficult to escape; he must destroy the token first, or it will certainly implicate the lord!

However, the woman didn’t give him the chance.

A terrifying pressure surged in, making the man in black’s body suddenly tense, lifting slowly into the air, as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping his neck, causing the skin to wrinkle.

"Ho ho—"

His complexion turned bluish-purple, his eyes bulged, and his vision became blurry.

In the moments before losing consciousness, he saw a pair of eyes that were as strikingly blue-green as jade.

Step, step, step—

Yu Youhan walked up to him, speaking to herself: "Although Chen Mo asked me to observe secretly and not act rashly, it’s just too troublesome. Anyway, they’re all worthless, might as well just do a soul search..."

Under the terrified gaze of the man in black, a jade finger pointed in the void.

Crack—

Spider-web cracks appeared on his surface, then crumbled into fragments.

A twisted translucent soul was pinched in Yu Youhan’s hand, gradually turning into dust and completely dissipating under the blue-green glow.

"Tsk, seems he’s indeed from the State Mansion..."

Yu Youhan raised her eyebrows slightly.

From the information retrieved from the memory, she finally figured out Lady Hua’s identity.

Hua Yinglan was originally a famous talented woman in Bailu City, renowned for her beauty and intellect, with many suitors in the city, among whom was Old Master Li, a Cao Merchant.

However, Hua Yinglan had no interest in men, especially an old man thirty years her senior.

But Old Master Li was not resigned; he first plotted to kill her parents, then bribed her personal maid to secretly drug her, and forcibly took her into the mansion after the deed was done.
