I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1283

Chapter 1283: Chapter 492: "Your Majesty the Empress, Are You Willing to Become My Slave?" (Part 2)

"If Wu Lie is not removed, he will always be a concern."

"I hope Her Majesty the Empress can gain something this time..."

...

...

Xuanqing Pool.

The large bath was shrouded in steam, and amidst the mist, a stunningly beautiful figure could be vaguely seen.

The Empress shed her palace gown, stepped into the pool with her long legs, and slowly submerged her body into the warm water. Her mood gradually calmed down, though there was a hint of guilt between her brows.

She always felt somewhat indebted to Chen Mo.

Reflecting carefully, the various dangers Chen Mo had faced during this time were either resolved by his strong fortune or by the help of Yu Youhan and the Daoist Venerable. As the Empress, she hardly managed to assist him.

Not only that, but she also misjudged the situation, underestimating Wu Lie’s determination to "rebirth", to the extent that she didn’t even know the palace had been dug through underneath!

If it weren’t for the absence of earth veins under her daily residence, where digging would create too much noise to disguise, she too might be living under Wu Lie’s surveillance!

Every time she thought about it, a chill ran down her spine.

Ultimately, this all stemmed from a lack of strength.

As the reigning Holy Empress, seemingly with immense power, she was, in reality, only a stand-in for Imperial Power. Despite cultivating her own faction over the years, it was still insufficient to shake Wu Lie’s position.

Moreover, she had no cultivation of her own and could become a liability in crucial moments...

The incident in the tunnel was a case in point.

"I can’t rely entirely on the Heavenly Shining Seal; I must find a way to enhance my strength. Without becoming extremely powerful, at least I mustn’t become the little thief’s vulnerability."

She secretly pondered.

Without a foundation, the progress would be too slow if she cultivated step-by-step, so she could only seek a "shortcut".

Today, while "opening the dark origin" with Chen Mo, she distinctly felt a flow of Qi gently moving through her meridians. If they continued dual cultivation, she believed it wouldn’t be long before she reached entry-level!

It’s not comparable to those Grandmasters or Ultimate Venerables, of course, but it’s a decent start!

"Though it’s a strange and embarrassing sensation, I’m willing to endure whatever it takes to become stronger!"

"Come on, Jiang Yuchan, you can do it!"

The Empress whispered to herself, cheered herself up with a raised pink fist.

Squeak—

At that moment, there was a soft noise at the door.

"Who?"

The Empress turned her head, but found no one, frowning, "Little thief, is that you?"

The bathroom was silent, with no sound at all.

The Empress’s expression grew tense again, the shadows from the tunnels had not completely faded, and she always felt like someone was watching her...

Suddenly, she sensed something and lowered her head slowly, only to see ripples spreading across the water surface, indicating it wasn’t her imagination, someone was indeed in the pool!

Splash—

Just as she was about to activate the Heavenly Shining Seal, a pair of large hands suddenly wrapped around her waist, and her body was instantly lightened, falling into a firm embrace.

Soon, a familiar voice came by her ear, "Your Highness, it’s me."

Her tense nerves finally relaxed. She turned around to see Chen Mo’s grinning face and pinched him with annoyance, "Why didn’t you respond sooner? You nearly scared me to death! My heart almost jumped out!"

Chen Mo nonchalantly said, "I came to check your heart rate... Mm, it’s indeed quite fast."

...

Her body trembled slightly, made a symbolic struggle, and then let him do as he wished.

At that moment, their bodies were pressed together, able to feel every inch of skin, even making the water feel hotter.

Leaning against Chen Mo, her fingers drew circles on his chest. "Little thief..."

Chen Mo asked, "What’s wrong?"

The Empress bit her lip lightly, sighing, "Am I really useless?"
