I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1237

Chapter 1237: Chapter 469: The Fairy’s Jealous Outburst! Paper Flying Girl Reports In! (Part 2)

Ling Ningzhi watched everything silently, pursing her lips without saying a word.

After settling the two of them, she walked out of the tavern and whispered, "This humble Taoist will go back first, Grandpa is still waiting for me."

With that, she was about to turn and leave.

Chen Mo hurriedly grabbed her, puzzled, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Noticing her slightly resentful look, with her small mouth almost able to hang an oil pot, he finally realized, "Zhi’er, could it be that you’re jealous?"

"Who said that, this humble Taoist is not jealous at all." Ling Ningzhi turned her head away, remained silent for a moment, then murmured, "Alright, maybe a little... I just feel like you’re too concerned about Yu Hongyin, it’s not like she doesn’t have any silver..."

"Lord, could it be that you’ve taken a liking to her?"

"..."

Chen Mo lightly tapped her forehead, both amused and exasperated, "No matter what, we’re considered to be friends who have faced life and death together, I’m just arranging a place for her to stay, you’re overthinking it."

"Besides, the Capital City has been quite unstable lately, Yu Hongyin is a sect disciple, easily attracting trouble, it’s better to be more cautious."

His intuition told him that although Wu Lie failed this time, he would definitely not let it go, and there might be big actions to follow.

Anyone related to him needed to be properly arranged for.

Upon hearing this, Ling Ningzhi’s expression softened a bit, but she still felt a little uneasy inside.

Even if Chen Mo had no other intentions, Yu Hongyin might not behave herself, after all, this woman had a "history", it seemed necessary to keep a close eye on her...

Chen Mo initially wanted to take Ling Ningzhi home with him, but Ling Ningzhi was worried about her grandfather and wanted to return to the Demon Suppression Department first, planning to visit He Yuzhi at the Chen Mansion the next day.

Chen Mo didn’t insist, and after the two shared a tender moment, they parted ways.

...

...

Ming’an Street.

On the quiet street, Chen Mo’s figure suddenly appeared.

Using the magic technique of the "Ancient Spirit Constitution", he was able to traverse through the earth veins, crossing half of Tiandu City in just a few breaths.

He had not yet reached his doorstep when he saw several curtained sedan chairs parked outside.

From behind the high walls came bursts of laughter, accompanied by the crisp sound of "clattering".

"It’s so lively?"

He lifted his leg and walked into the courtyard, where he saw strings of pearls and jade, a blend of fragrances and shadows of hairpins, a group of noble ladies enthusiastically playing mahjong, Qin Shu, Lady Jinyun... even Lin Jingzhu was among them.

It was clear that He Yuzhi had become the focus of the group, everyone openly or secretly flattered her.

"This time Lady Chen has been personally conferred by Her Majesty the Empress as a Third-Level High Official, it’s truly a cause for celebration."

"Mr. Chen is a Third-Level High Official in the imperial court, and your son has made repeated meritorious achievements, it was only a matter of time."

"By the way, I remember that Young Master Chen is not yet married, is he? My daughter is eighteen, quite a beauty, why not let them meet, perhaps a good match could be made."

"Match, my foot. Go find someone else to play with. Don’t you know he already has a fiancée?"

"Even as a concubine it would do..."

"..."

He Yuzhi rubbed her temples, feeling a bit of a headache coming on.

Apart from a few close friends, most of the people here were fair-weather acquaintances, seeing the Chen Family’s growing reputation and the favor from the Eastern Royal Palace, they flocked in.

They were ostensibly there to celebrate her, but really to flatter and probe for information.

As a member of Jianghu, He Yuzhi didn’t like this kind of hypocritical socializing, but one doesn’t slap a smiling face. In the circles of the Capital City, one must at least keep up appearances.

Chen Mo intended to go over and greet them.

But hearing the chattering of the women, he halted, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.

Showing up in such a situation was not wise, getting surrounded by these gossiping women would make escape difficult... So he immediately turned around and quietly left the courtyard.

With his current realm level, he restrained his aura on purpose, not even He Yuzhi noticed him.

Back in his room, Chen Mo shut the door and sat cross-legged on the bed, beginning to take stock of the gains from this journey.

First was the invaluable Dragon Marrow Sword obtained from Martial Saint Mountain.

The power of this long sword was beyond imagination, even causing the Ba Snake to mistake him for Zhu Jiuyou, which indicated it might indeed be related to the Dragon Clan... As for how it ended up in Pei Fengmian’s hands, that was unknown.
