I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108: Chapter 83 Lord Jian Pays to Get Beaten Up! I’ll Teach You Dual Cultivation!

Chen Mo’s eyes lost their purple gleam, his expression revealing a trace of bewilderment.

What’s going on?

During the clash with Jian Yinsan, he had had a faint epiphany, intending to use him as a whetstone to temper his Sword Intent. But then, that flow of qi inside his body was stirred and blended into the Shocking Dragon Saber Intent.

And then, out of nowhere, he somehow condensed a "Martial Spirit."

"If this can truly be considered a Martial Spirit..."

On Chen Mo’s exposed wrist, a patch of profound, azure Jade Scale swiftly faded.

There were too many onlookers for him to check immediately, but it didn’t take a genius to figure out that this thing was definitely abnormal!

Jian Yinsan snapped back to his senses, a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes.

Both shocked by Chen Mo’s unreasonably strong power and somewhat puzzled why he had felt an urge to kneel and submit just a moment ago.

Even Lord Thousand Households had never given him such a sense of oppression!

Just a Hundred Households officer...

Annoyed and embarrassed, Jian Yinsan’s ash-colored eyes fixed on him, and he bellowed harshly: "Insulting a superior in public, attempting to assassinate an Imperial Official, are heinous crimes!"

"Seize this miscreant at once and throw him into the Imperial Prison!"

The crowd exchanged puzzled looks.

Seize him? How?

This man dared to attack even a Deputy Thousand Households, would they not be minced into meat if they approached?

The atmosphere tensed up for a moment.

Seeing no one moving, Jian Yinsan shouted furiously: "Qiu Longgang! I command you to arrest the criminal Chen Mo immediately!"

Qiu Longgang blinked his charming eyes, finding it awkward to proceed: "Lord Jian, Hundred Households Chen holds a Qilin Token, he ordered me not to interfere, so whom should I listen to..."

"..."

Jian Yinsan’s gaze swept over the crowd, seeing the Fire Department Constables avert their gazes one by one.

Those who were usually insignificant in his eyes now disobeyed his command without a single exception!

Suddenly, he spotted a tall figure in the crowd, and his eyes lit up.

"Mr. Li, you’ve arrived just in time! Capture this villain swiftly!"

"..."

Li Kui gave Shen Shuqiu a glare.

The Cultivation Technique wasn’t even warmed up yet and this guy had already stirred up big trouble!

She had nowhere to hide with her physique and had no choice but to toughen up and step forward.

Looking at her near two-meter, bear-like stature coupled with a baby-faced doll appearance, Chen Mo couldn’t help but click his tongue.

Goodness, a Steel Barbie?

If she styled her hair into a bun, she’d be the spitting image of Nezha reborn...

"Ahem."

Li Kui cleared her throat and spoke: "Lord Jian, maybe there’s been some kind of misunderstanding between you two? Why not sit down and have a good talk?"

Jian Yinsan: "..."

A misunderstanding my ass!

I was nearly hacked into two!

Jian Yinsan realized then that Li Kui wanted to smooth things over, and with a laugh turning into anger, he said, "Very well! It seems you all want to rebel today!"

He reached into his chest to pull out a Communication Jade, "I’ll contact the Qilin Pavilion immediately, and request Lord Thousand Households to come and decide on this! I refuse to believe there’s nowhere to seek justice..."

Crack—

Before he could finish, the Jade Talisman in his hand shattered.

Two figures fell from the sky, a man and a woman.

The man was dressed in a gray robe, with a square face and an imposing presence without anger.

The woman was in a purple dress, with cold white skin and delicate features, yet her eyes and brows harbored a playfully irreverent "wickedness."

Jian Yinsan’s pupils contracted slightly.

Water Department Thousand Households Yun He and Earth Master Thousand Households Ye Zi’e!

Both of them came together?!

"Greetings, Lord Thousand Households!"

The Constables regained their composure and bowed respectively.

Yun He waved his hand dismissively, looking at the two and frowned, "What happened?"

Jian Yinsan spoke hurriedly: "Reporting to Lord, Chen Mo ruthlessly attacked, defied heavenly norms, and committed the gravest sins..."

Yun He spoke indifferently: "Wasn’t talking to you."

Jian Yinsan: "..."

Chen Mo gave a fist-and-palm salute: "Replying to Mr. Yun, Deputy Thousand Households Jian owes money and hasn’t paid up. I was here to collect the debt and a bit of a dispute ensued."

"You’re lying!"

Were it not for the severity of his injury, Jian Yinsan nearly jumped up from the ground, "When have I ever owed you money?!"

Chen Mo shook his head: "Lord Jian really is forgetful. The day before yesterday, when I led a team to Linglan County for Demon Slaying, Lord Jian took one thousand taels of the reward money, don’t tell me you intend to deny it?"

"That is..."

Jian Yinsan paused halfway through.

He wanted to say that the money belonged to the Bing Fire Department, but then remembered that was also public funds, not for his personal use...

Misusing public funds was normal in the Sky Scale Guard, an unspoken rule. As long as the tasks were completed, and the case-closure rate met the standard, the higher-ups wouldn’t care about the whereabouts of such a small amount of Silver.
