I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1245

Chapter 1245: Chapter 473: Signing the Contract of Servitude! The Fall of Paper Flying Girl! (Part 2)

"Isn’t it inappropriate to do this in front of your master?" Chen Mo’s voice was a bit dry.

Gu Manzhi’s cheeks flushed, her watery eyes sparkling, and she said alluringly, "She’s already signed the indenture, what are you afraid of, my lord? Besides, it’s been so long, don’t you miss me?"

"I do miss you..."

"Then let me see just how much you miss me."

"Wait a moment... ah..."

...

...

Changle Square.

This is the most bustling area in the East City, the streets teeming with people, and the tea houses, restaurants, silk shops, and rouge shops on either side... lined up in an endless array, with colorful banners fluttering in the wind like a rainbow.

Ye Henshui, dressed in a gray robe, walked out from the shop carrying a big and small packages.

The Xu Family had not yet freed themselves from servitude, so they couldn’t leave the Imperial Music Bureau on their own, thus the necessary items were listed in advance for her to purchase uniformly.

They were used to hard times and knew how precious money was, so they wouldn’t ask for anything beyond basic necessities, which Ye Henshui noticed and often bought a little extra on her own accord.

"Ling’er’s body grows too fast, and her clothes are too small, so I bought two new skirts. Lady Liu’s rouge and powder have long run out, yet she wouldn’t say, so I bought her a set too..."

"Oh, and Mr. Chen seems to like me wearing white silk. The last pair got torn, so I need to buy a new one..."

"Alas, it’s been so long, yet there’s not a word of news. I wonder when Mr. Chen will come back..."

Ye Henshui muttered to herself as she made her way toward Melody Avenue.

At the intersection of two streets, a clamor arose. There, a crowd had gathered, filled with common folk.

A Sky Scale Guard Assistant Officer was posting a notice on the wall, while another banged a copper gong, and announced loudly:

"Ahem, silence!"

"Attention everyone, this is a bounty notice issued by Earth Master Thousand Households Mr. Ye of the Sky Scale Guard. Anyone providing reliable information about this person can claim fifty taels of silver upon verification at the Government office!"

"If you can directly lead us to the person, you can claim two hundred taels of silver!"

These words immediately caused an uproar!

"Wow, what a grand offer!"

"Just for providing information, they give fifty taels? That’d take us years to save up!"

"Earth Master Thousand Households, that’s not a small deal. Let me take a look at who they’re searching for; maybe I’ve seen them..."

Ye Henshui was also curious and moved her steps forward. The crowd automatically parted, and she squeezed into the throng silently.

Once she saw the notice on the wall, her expression froze.

[Missing Person Notice.]

[Ye Henshui, female, from Qing Province, eighteen years old, Transcendence Realm Mage, orphaned since childhood...]

Beside it was a portrait, featuring a delicate, attractive oval face, a high nose, lips like painted rouge, and bright eyes full of spirit. The key detail was her hair—it was entirely white...

"Isn’t that... me?!"

Ye Henshui felt a chill run down her spine.

Why is the Heavenly Qilin Guard Thousand Households suddenly searching for her?!

Is the Daoist Sect’s trail exposed, and does the court plan to move against them?!

Not only did they know her appearance, name, and origin, they even had the audacity to post it openly and offer a hefty reward, clearly intending to capture all of them in one fell swoop!

"This is bad!"

"I must report this to my master immediately!"

With Chen Mo not in the Capital City, Ye Henshui felt bereft of support and had no choice but to seek out Ji Lianxing.

She dared not delay and disappeared like a shadow in a flash.

At that very moment, not far away in a restaurant in Bailu City, Ye Zi’e sat by the window, drinking alone, occasionally glancing down at the crowd below.

In the Southern Border White Crane City, Chen Mo once used his divination skills to confirm for her that her long-lost sister was still alive. Upon hearing the news, she was overwhelmed with excitement yet soon faced a dilemma—

The information available was scant, and even the sister’s whereabouts were unknown.

The boundaries of the Nine Provinces were vast, like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But having searched for so many years and finally catching a glimmer of hope, Ye Zi’e wouldn’t easily give up.

She decided to start from the Capital City and investigate step by step. After all, a young Transcendent Mage would not likely be obscure. So she posted notices in the bustling market, offering a substantial bounty to see if any unexpected leads would surface.

"Hmm?"

At that moment, Ye Zi’e noticed a gray figure.
