I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 116

Chapter 116: Chapter 87: Shen Zhixia’s New Skin! Adults Can’t!_2

The jade pendant I gave her earlier hung on a red string around her neck, sinking into the abyss.

Hiss!

This is the first time since its creation that he has personally witnessed the effect on the body...

It can only be described as perfect!

Shen Zhixia felt unbearable embarrassment and quickly ran behind the screen.

After a long while, having tidied up her clothes, she came out, her cheeks still flushed, and she stared at him with eyes flickering with jewel-like annoyance.

"Why didn’t you knock before entering?"

Chen Mo responded helplessly: "Is it possible this is my house? And I didn’t expect that you’d be undressing in broad daylight."

"But this underwear really suits you, although it seems a bit small..."

"Don’t say another word!"

Shen Zhixia’s cheeks were scorching, and she covered his mouth with her hand.

"Zhixia, we can get ready for the meal..."

He Yuzhi had just come over and saw the two of them closely pressed together, she paused with an expression of surprise and then nonchalantly left.

"I didn’t see anything, continue on."

...

Shen Zhixia pinched Chen Mo’s waist angrily and complained: "It’s all your fault!"

Knowing that his "designer" identity had been revealed, Chen Mo didn’t bother to pretend anymore, smiling mischievously:

"If Chong’er likes it, I can give you a few more pieces, including white, pink, transparent... but you must keep this a secret for me, okay."

"I, I certainly don’t want them!"

Shen Zhixia, unable to endure the embarrassment, turned around and fled.

Transparent? What would that look like when worn... She didn’t even dare to imagine!

This man is utterly ridiculous!

...

For the whole lunch, Shen Zhixia couldn’t raise her head, wishing she could bury her face in her bowl.

Chen Mo knew she was thin-skinned and didn’t tease her further.

While eating, he checked the system panel.

After the "going berserk" incident at the Imperial Music Bureau, Li Yuan had helped him regulate the out-of-control yang energy.

In the system’s cultivation technique section, there appeared: "Dong Xuanzi Yin Yang Thirty-Six Skills" · Beginner (20/100).

Only then did he truly grasp the essence of this cultivation technique.

"Cultivating alone accumulates yang, but it takes two to harmonize yin and yang."

"Not only does it nourish the essence, benefiting cultivation immensely, but it also prolongs life and ensures one grows stronger with each battle..."

"What is Ye Zi’e up to by giving me this? Could she really be hoping to... entrap me?"

Chen Mo mumbled to himself.

At that moment, He Yuzhi asked, "Mo’er, I heard from your father that the capital inspection is about to start, how is the situation in the government office?"

Chen Mo shook his head, "It’s a mess; I doubt we’ll meet the requirements."

Although the issue with the accounts was temporarily resolved, there were too many backlogged cases. Even if the entire Ding Fire Department were dispatched, working tirelessly for twelve hours straight, it would be difficult to meet the case resolution quota.

No wonder Chu Zhuo clung so firmly to the Zhou Family; it seems he was looking for a way out.

The Ding Fire Department was in too deep to recover, a crisis bound to erupt eventually.

And now with Chu Zhuo gone, that ticking time bomb had fallen into his hands.

"It’s all that Busty Empress’s fault. I was doing just fine in the Gui Water Bureau, and she had to dump this mess on me... If I ever soar high one day, I must firmly spank her!" Chen Mo vowed in his heart.

"No worries, the worst that can happen is quitting the job, it wasn’t anything pleasant anyway," said He Yuzhi.

The reputation of the Sky Scale Guard wasn’t good, and it was dangerous; it would be better to return home and be a wealthy gentleman.

Moreover, she didn’t want Chen Mo to become too deeply entwined in the factional struggles.

"Let’s see, maybe there will be a way out before the mountain road ends. There may still be a chance," said Chen Mo.

Shen Zhixia listened silently, her gaze thoughtful.

...

After lunch, Chen Mo went to Huai Zhen Fang.

As soon as he entered the training ground, he bumped into Jian Yinsan.

"This official pays his respects to Lord Jian."

Chen Mo spoke with a smile: "Lord Jian isn’t staying in to recover from his injuries, he’s back on duty so soon? Such dedication and responsibility, truly admirable!"

Jian Yinsan’s face darkened, and he replied coldly: "I have no interest in bickering with you. Let’s see how long you can be so pleased with yourself!"

With that, he swept away.

"Please take care on your way, Lord Jian. Be careful not to strain your injury with a too brisk pace," Chen Mo called out loudly.

...

Jian Yinsan quickened his steps.

Having been defeated by a lower-ranking Sixth-rank Martial Artist, and the opponent remained unscathed, it was a blow to his dignity!

He essentially became a laughingstock of the Sky Scale Guard!

Feeling the peculiar looks from the surrounding people, his heart filled with even more resentment.

...

When Chen Mo arrived at the government office, he didn’t see a single soul around, only Li Yuan sitting at the desk, organizing documents.
