I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1108

The flying boat left the Southern Border, heading north.

For the past two days, Ye Zi'e had been cultivating alone in her room, not disturbing Chen Mo and Li Yuan's private time. It was only when the flying boat hovered over Golden Sun State that she stepped onto the deck.

The people of Sky Scale Guard had long gathered there, listening to Chen Mo's instructions for the next arrangements.

"The report for the recent journey south has been written. You all head back to the Capital to report for duty. I have some personal matters to attend to," Chen Mo said. "The control of this Cloud Mist Magic Boat will temporarily be in the hands of Households Commander Li; the remaining Spiritual Marrow is sufficient for the journey."

"Yes."

"Understood."

The crowd responded repeatedly.

Li Yuan, her eyes full of reluctance, softly said, "Sir, return early once you've completed your tasks; I... we will wait for you in the Capital."

"Alright, understood." Chen Mo replied with a smile, noticing Ye Zi'e standing in the back of the crowd, nodding towards her. Ye Zi'e curved her lips in response, slightly nodding back.

The two said nothing, needing no words.

This journey had added a tacit understanding between them, like a resonance.

"I'm leaving."

Chen Mo turned and stepped forward, his figure vanishing into the sea of clouds.

Watching his silhouette completely disappear, Song Xuan and the others gradually dispersed, leaving only Li Yuan and Ye Zi'e remaining.

The flying boat continued its racing towards the Central State; Li Yuan leaned against the railing, gazing at the State City below, becoming more distant, sighing softly.

"Alas..."

Though Chen Mo said he'd return soon, her past experiences suggested it wouldn't be that simple; it would probably be quite a long time before seeing him again.

Ye Zi'e stepped beside Li Yuan, asking, "Households Commander Li, what is Mr. Chen up to? Why does it feel a bit mysterious?"

"Nothing, just going to meet his fiancée," Li Yuan said indifferently.

"Fiancée?"

Ye Zi'e paused, recalling the uproar caused by the "withdrawal" incident in the Capital.

The Chen Family and Shen Family had agreed on a marriage contract years ago, but Chen Mo tore it up in public to pursue an oiran from the Imperial Music Bureau.

It seemed the two families were on the brink of a feud, but soon after, the oiran vanished, and the Chen and Shen Families reconciled, as if nothing had happened.

"I remember that Miss Shen also holds another identity: a direct disciple of Martial Saint Mountain."

"No wonder Mr. Chen doesn't want us to follow; going to such a place in our 'court's hound' capacity is indeed inappropriate."

Ye Zi'e shook her head, then asked casually, "By the way, are you familiar with Miss Shen? What kind of person is she?"

"Had a few dealings, but can't say familiar."

Li Yuan thought for a moment and said, "In terms of appearance, she's exceptionally beautiful, kind-hearted, sometimes seems a bit daft, often reacting half a beat slower, yet sometimes appears as if she can see through people..."
