I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1269

Chapter 1269: Chapter 485: Asserting Sovereignty? Chen Mo Belongs to Everyone! (2)

"Hmm?"

Chen Mo furrowed his eyebrows, rubbing his chin, "Why do I feel those two seem somewhat strange?"

Beside him, Ling Ningzhi asked softly, "Lord, what exactly happened yesterday? Why was the Princess suddenly seriously injured and near death, yet today she appears as if nothing happened?"

"Because she overexerted herself in the Secret Realm, and her body was eroded by Dragon Qi..." Chen Mo truthfully explained the causes and consequences to her.

Ling Ningzhi nodded after hearing this, not asking more. After all, back in the Secret Realm, if it weren’t for Chu Yanli holding off two Ancient Emperor’s remnants alone, everyone might not have made it out alive.

Truth be told, they owed this Highness a favor.

"By the way, how’s the situation with Elder Ling?" Chen Mo spoke up.

"Still the same, but compared to before, the state has been much more positive, willing to actively cooperate in conditioning his body now." Ling Ningzhi said, "Now we’re just waiting for the master to arrive, then we can start Alchemy."

Seeing the worry flash between her brows, Chen Mo reached out to rub her hair, comforting her, "Don’t worry, when the time comes, I will ask the Empress to help, and the court will provide full support, there definitely won’t be any problem."

"Mm, I trust the Lord." Ling Ningzhi said softly.

"I must first go to the Government to handle affairs, once things here are busy, then I’ll visit Elder Ling." After saying this, Chen Mo prepared to leave.

"Wait a moment." Ling Ningzhi tugged at his sleeve, pointing to his neck, said, "Lord, you have a red mark here that hasn’t faded, it doesn’t look good if someone sees it..."

"Uh..."

Chen Mo’s expression seemed slightly awkward.

This spot, it’s very likely been given a hickey by Chu Yanli in secret.

He left a mark inside her, she also had to leave a trace on him, this vengeful woman...

Fingers gently brushed past, Vitality Essence circulated, the red mark disappeared, he chuckled, "Strange, how are there mosquitoes in this weather?"

Ling Ningzhi murmured, "Well, this mosquito must have quite a suction power, there’s even a bite mark on it."

Chen Mo: "..."

...

...

After leaving Chen Mansion, Chen Mo prepared to first head to the Government to report peace.

As expected, as soon as he stepped into the teaching room, he was surrounded, everyone chattering incessantly.

This time heading south, Chen Mo led people to first extinguish the Demon Sect, then slaughter the Barbarian Tribe, achieving great merits, shaking the entire Capital City, and the accompanying Li Yuan, Lu Shuyuan, and others all received generous rewards.

For this, Qiu Longgang was full of resentment, resembling a neglected wife.

Until Chen Mo promised to take him along for the next mission, only then did his mood brighten, revealing a smile.

Finally breaking free from the crowd, Chen Mo arrived at the Fire Department Court, where Li Yuan who had been waiting for some time, threw herself into his embrace.

"Sir!"

Li Yuan leaned her head against his chest, listening to the strong heartbeat, her tense nerves finally relaxed, "Didn’t you say you went to Martial Saint Mountain to see Miss Shen? Why did it take so many days to return?"

"I also went to Qing Province..."

Chen Mo, holding her, sat on a chair, telling her about what has happened during this period.

He just didn’t mention the details related to Wu Lie, after all, Li Yuan is a government officer, a slight slip might get her embroiled in it.

Hearing about the dangers he went through, even nearly losing his life, Li Yuan’s heart clenched into a ball, her eyes brimming with tears, "Why does Sir always take risks repeatedly? What if something really happens to you, what am I supposed to do?"

"Elder Ling is now in a precarious situation, I can’t just stand by and do nothing, just didn’t anticipate the circumstances in the Secret Realm to be far more complex than I imagined, but fortunately, it was thrilling but not life-threatening." Chen Mo took a Golden Core from the Heavenly Profound Ring, handing it to her, "This is specially prepared for you, it’ll help you breakthrough quickly, making promotion to Deputy Thousand Households easier in the future."

Gazing at the precious Enlightenment Golden Core, Li Yuan remained silent for a while, shaking her head, "I care nothing about official positions or any Golden Core, I merely wish for Sir to stay by my side forever."

Chen Mo sighed silently, holding her tighter, softly saying, "Soon, once I solve all the troubles, I can gloriously marry you, then we’ll be family."

Li Yuan’s cheeks blushed slightly, murmuring, "As long as I can be with Sir, it doesn’t matter if there’s no title at all, even if it means being an unofficial wife, I’m willing."

"Good Yuan’er..."

Buzz—

At this moment, the Jade Pendant at Chen Mo’s waist suddenly started quivering, its light flickering unpredictably.

He immersed his mind into it, sensed for a while, then frowned, "It’s a message from Qilin Pavilion, telling me to go there in an hour."

"An hour?" Li Yuan bit her lip, "That should be enough time."
