I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1256

Chapter 1256: Chapter 479: Sandwich Cookie! The Empress’s Desensitization Therapy!

That warm current traveled one circuit through her body and gradually began to gather toward the Spirit Platform.

Xu Qingyi only felt the world before her eyes become incomparably clear; the shackles in cultivation that had always been difficult to understand now all became simple and easy to grasp. Her whole being was in a mysterious state of enlightenment!

"What is this?" Xu Qingyi asked blankly.

"An Enlightenment Golden Core. I got it this time in the Secret Realm. It should be greatly beneficial to your cultivation," Chen Mo said.

"E–Enlightenment Golden Core?!"

Xu Qingyi almost exclaimed out loud.

She had naturally heard of this thing. As an exceedingly rare Divine-Grade Spirit Pill, it contained the resonance of the Great Dao and could greatly increase the chance of a breakthrough!

Because the refining method has already been lost, you could say there’s one less each time one is used. Even for the Three Saint Sect and the Great Yuan Royal Family, it still holds an extremely powerful allure.

After all, if used properly, a single one can create a Heavenly Master!

"How can you just casually let me eat something so precious? What a waste!" Xu Qingyi opened her cherry lips and subconsciously wanted to stick her fingers down her throat.

Chen Mo hurriedly stopped her and said, half laughing, half crying, "The moment the Alchemy Pill went down, it already took effect. Even if you throw it back up it’s useless. If you really don’t want to waste it, then hurry up and sit down to cultivate and make the most of its effect. That’s what matters."

"With the Capital City so full of hidden currents right now, anything could happen. Whether you take it yourself or use it to produce another Third-rank Grandmaster, either would be more valuable than feeding it to me." Xu Qingyi’s brows knit tightly, as if blaming him for making decisions on his own.

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "It’s precisely because the current situation is so unpredictable. You’re at the Empress’s side, right at the center of the vortex. The level of danger is not much lower than mine. Even if you can’t break through, raising your strength a bit is still good. Otherwise..."

Here his words paused slightly, as if he wanted to say more but held back.

Xu Qingyi blinked and asked, "Otherwise what?"

Lowering his head to gaze at her, Chen Mo said softly, "Otherwise I’ll be very worried about you."

Looking into those dark pupils, which clearly reflected her own face, Xu Qingyi’s heart suddenly gave a violent tremor.

All along, she had always thought of herself as just the Empress’s tagalong, the same as any other Palace Attendant—a transparent person with no color of her own. Yet Chen Mo could truly "see" her, understand her joy and anger, sorrow and happiness, and would even worry about her.

This was also why, though Chen Mo had "teased" her time and again before and she seemed angry on the surface, deep down she was not that resistant.

Because only in his eyes was she a real, flesh-and-blood person.

A touch of rosy red spread from behind her ears and gradually climbed up her cheeks.

Xu Qingyi’s heart hammered wildly. Her originally clear eyes grew misty. She said in a low voice, "Why are you suddenly saying something like this? Besides, if you talk like that, Miss Lin is going to get jealous."

"..."

The corner of Chen Mo’s mouth twitched.

Looks like she’s still remembering that business of competing with Lin Jingzhu over the Ink Treasure last time. Women really are the most vindictive creatures...

Then again, this Golden Core was originally partly meant for Lin Jingzhu as well. It’s just that when they met yesterday the circumstances were a bit special, and he forgot to hand it over. He’d just deliver it to her next time.
