I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1324

Chapter 1324: Chapter 512: The Empress and the Daoist Venerable Join Forces! Mr. Chen’s Skills!

"Chen Mo?"

Ji Hongxiu’s face brightened immediately after recognizing the visitor.

But then she seemed to remember something, nervously glancing behind him; seeing Yu Youhan didn’t follow, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The last duel left a considerable psychological shadow on her. She thought that after her cultivation improved, she could at least hold her ground in a fight, but she was still completely overwhelmed, even when the opponent wasn’t intent on killing...

Though she and Yu Youhan were both Ultimate Venerables, that was only because the realm classification topped out at Ultimate Venerable. The actual disparity was far greater than imagined!

Moreover, the stronger she became, the more she could feel that bone-deep despair.

Resolving to learn from her experience, Ji Hongxiu decided to temporarily avoid confronting Yu Youhan head-on until she fully mastered the Origin of Cause and Effect. After all, there were only a few in the world who could defeat that female demon, so it wasn’t something to be ashamed of.

At this moment, all the core members of the Demon Suppression Department had gathered here, their eyes uniformly fixed on Chen Mo.

Not far away, beneath the locust tree, Ling Yishan sat on a chair, smiling gently, "You’re here, son-in-law."

?

Upon hearing this address, the crowd seemed somewhat bewildered.

The fact that Chen Mo and Ling Ningzhi had become Dao companions had already spread outside. Based solely on appearance, talent, and background, they were well-matched.

But the problem was, Chen Mo not only had an engagement, but was also a candidate for Prince Consort—not to mention he often frequented places of pleasure, once generously spending a fortune, earning him the "honor" of being the "Imperial Music Bureau’s first esteemed client"...

Normally, with Commander Ling’s fiery temper, he surely wouldn’t want his precious granddaughter to suffer such indignity. But judging by his current attitude, he seemed quite satisfied with this "grandson-in-law."

Especially in acknowledging Chen Mo’s status publicly; the implications behind this act were clear.

"Elder Ling." Chen Mo nodded slightly, greeting him, "How have you been lately?"

"Same old, I won’t be dying any time soon."

Ling Yishan lifted his eyelids slightly, gazing at Ji Hongxiu, and spoke, "During this time at Fuyun Mountain, Daoist Venerable personally held the Dao ceremony for these two juniors, not only allowing them to achieve their destined union, but also fulfilling the old man’s wish..."

"Thank you."

He said, cupping his fists and bowing slightly.

Ling Ningzhi lowered her head, her ears flushed red, her slender hands tightly gripping her garment’s hem.

"No worries, it’s what I ought to do as a mentor..." Ji Hongxiu’s gaze drifted around, inexplicably feeling some guilt.

Not only Ling Ningzhi achieved her destined union, but so did she herself. Now, the three-person alliance contract still lay in the ancestral master’s shrine!

"Ahem." Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Chen Mo cleared his throat and changed the subject, "I have prepared the Furnace Tripod needed for alchemy; Daoist Venerable can see if it meets the requirements?"
