I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1230

Chapter 1230: Chapter 466: The Empress’s Earth-shattering Plan! The Empress’s Choice!

"What are you talking about? What’s soft and hard?"

Just as Yu Hongyin and Qiao Tong were pulling at each other, Chen Mo walked over, curiously asking.

"..."

Their expressions froze immediately.

Yu Hongyin, flustered, stammered, "N-nothing, we were just saying that this exploration of the Secret Realm took a toll on our stamina, causing my muscles to stiffen up a bit..."

Qiao Tong chimed in, "That’s right, I was just about to give the Holy Daughter a massage to help her relax."

"That’s essential, better to relax and prevent injuries," Chen Mo glanced around, puzzled, "Where’s Sect Master Shi? Why don’t I see them?"

Qiao Tong replied, "The Master took others back to the sect first. Out of gratitude for your help, he’s arranged for me and the Holy Daughter to stay and head to the Capital City to continue participating in the new research project, doing our best to cooperate with Mr. Chen’s work."

Chen Mo didn’t think much of it and nodded, "That’s fine, let’s go together later, it’ll be good to have each other for company on the way."

After all their past experiences, he and Yu Hongyin had developed a life-and-death friendship.

Moreover, during this venture into the Secret Realm, she had fought desperately against the tide of corpses, protecting him without regard for her own life, something he couldn’t help but notice.

"Then I’ll trouble Mr. Chen." Yu Hongyin said softly.

"I’ve said it before, we’re friends, no need to be so formal," Chen Mo waved his hand.

"Okay." Yu Hongyin nodded obediently, a sweet smile appearing at the corners of her lips.

Ling Ningzhi eyed her suspiciously.

This woman had always portrayed herself as a cunning demoness, but in front of Chen Mo, she seemed like a completely different person.

It seems the so-called new research project was just an excuse, clearly intending something else. Once back, she’d better keep a close watch, or else she might sneak into Chen Mo’s bed again...

Hoo——

At this moment, a cold breeze swept by.

Chen Mo felt a chill down his spine, turned to see a cloud of black mist hovering behind him, through which he could vaguely discern a pair of bright eyes staring fixedly at him.

"It’s you?"

"Do you need something from me?"

He and Sikong Zuiyue had formed a temporary alliance, and now that the Secret Realm was closed, their contract had naturally ended.

"Two things," Sikong Zuiyue’s voice transmitted directly to his ear, "Firstly, did you absorb the Origin Power of the Emperor’s body?"

Seeing the straightforward approach, Chen Mo raised an eyebrow but did not deny it, responding, "What does that have to do with you? Back when we made the contract, it was agreed that opportunities would be seized by individual ability."

"Relax, I’m not here to cause you trouble."

A crisp voice came from the black mist, "I’m just reminding you, Great Yuan’s waters are much deeper than you imagine. If your strength isn’t sufficient to rise above the chessboard, then it’s best to keep a low profile, blend in with the other pieces, or else you’ll surely be devoured..."

"Additionally, Wanqi Kai held a high status in his family, and with his unexpected demise, the Wan Qi Family won’t let it rest, likely holding you accountable."

"They are known for their unscrupulous ways, so you’d be wise to be cautious."
