I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 132

Chapter 132: Chapter 96: Empress, Don’t Look Back, I Am Your Majesty!

Northern Border, Tian Shou Mountain.

The mountain range stretched far, lying beside the Canglan River.

The river flowed like a ribbon, the mountains were covered in greenery, and the bright sunshine filtered through the canopy, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

Shhh—

The branches and leaves swayed, as a plump, glossy-furred brown bear emerged from the forest and came to the river to drink water.

After taking just two sips, its nose twitched, as it vaguely sensed a hint of blood.

Following the scent for a few hundred meters, it saw a mutilated corpse on the ground, its fur stained dark red with blood, five tails trailing behind, and the body only half remaining, like it had been gnawed by a fierce beast.

The brown bear sniffed at the body, the smell was still fresh; it seemed to have died not long ago.

Having not eaten all night, its stomach growled, and without hesitation, it grabbed the corpse, opened its large mouth, gnawed, and swallowed the flesh and bones whole.

After consuming about two-thirds of the corpse, the brown bear suddenly stiffened.

Crack—crack—

Amid the sound of breaking vertebrae, its shape twisted and swelled, its fur tore revealing bloody muscle fibers, as if something was trying to burst out from within.

A quarter of an hour later, the mutation stopped.

The bear’s appearance had completely changed, its fur had fallen off, the muscles were intertwined, the spine protruded sharply, and one eye had turned pale blue, with the character "己" etched in its pupil.

Jue Ling looked down at the incomplete corpse on the ground, his eyes full of regret.

*First poisoned by Gu, then seriously injured by a single slash, and later pursued by the Demon Suppression Department.*

*To divert the pursuers, he had to shed another part of his body, flowing downstream with the Canglan River, while he concealed his Demon Energy and traveled upstream to the Northern Border.*

"My body is destroyed, decades of cultivation vanished, and a Demon Eye lost..."

"Chen Mo!"

Jue Ling’s teeth clenched with a creaking sound, his eyes full of deep-seated hatred.

*His heart harbored resentment towards Chu Heng as well... Chu Heng had repeatedly claimed that Chen Mo had just broken through to the Sixth-Rank, if not for the "false information" provided by him, how would he have ended up in such dire straits?!*

He extended his claw, soaked up some blood, and drew a bizarre pattern on the ground with it.

Then he infused what little Demon Energy he had left into it, and the blood ignited instantly, sending crimson flames soaring into the sky.

After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the air rippled.

An exquisite foot appeared out of thin air, followed by long, shapely legs... the figure emerged inch by inch, a graceful silhouette wrapped in sheer fabric, revealing a glimpse of springtime allure, with a delicate, melon-seed face lightly adorned with makeup, and an intoxicating charm between her brows.

Her eyes were particularly striking, with the left eye being pale blue and the right dark gold, looking extremely bewitching.

"Lady You."

Jue Ling bowed in greeting.

Seeing his grotesque form, Lady You’s brows furrowed, her gaze full of disdain, "How did you end up like this?"

"I was ambushed outside Tiandu City..."

Jue Ling recounted the events that transpired.

"Refining Dragon Qi was Geng Team’s task, you were just supposed to wrap up the loose ends and clean up the traces." Lady You’s eyes narrowed slightly, "In the end, not only did you fail to handle it, but you also got beaten up like this?"

Jue Ling hung his head low, utterly ashamed.
