Speaking of which, she thought of something and asked, "By the way, are you sure Chen Mo hasn’t left the Capital City during this time?"
"No." Vermilion Bird shook her head and said, "According to the reports, he has been in the city recently helping as a protector for the Daoist Venerable, assisting in refining the Creation Golden Pill, and hasn’t stepped out of the Capital City at all."
Zhu Wujiang seemed thoughtful, murmuring to herself, "It seems it’s not him, maybe I’m just overthinking it..."
Vermilion Bird asked curiously, "What did you say?"
"Nothing," Zhu Wujiang cleared her throat and said, "Have someone keep a close watch on Tiandu City, report any movements at any time, and continue to try to contact You Ji, it’s best if we can connect with her to have an extra layer of insurance."
"Yes." Vermilion Bird nodded, bowed, and left.
The door closed.
The air quieted down.
Zhu Wujiang remained silent for a long time, letting out a silent sigh.
If her plan succeeded, it would mean completely breaking off with her mother, and until everything settled, she couldn’t be sure whether her choice was right or wrong...
"The ancient books say: Harmony benefits both sides, conflict harms both; all things grow together without harming each other, the Dao runs parallel without conflict."
"The conflict between the Human and Demon Races has lasted for so many years, yielding nothing but countless lives lost. Moreover, the Human Race is favored by the Heavenly Dao, producing many talents over the years. If this continues, today’s fate of the Barbarian Tribe will be the fate of the Demon Clan tomorrow!"
"However, raising an army is easy, stopping war is hard."
"The two races are as incompatible as water and fire, with hatred lingering for millennia. How easy is it to put it aside?"
"After so many years, a chance for change has finally arrived, and it must be seized!"
Zhu Wujiang’s eyes became determined, shaking her head to clear her mind of distractions.
She casually picked up a book from the table, flipping through it. The hard cover bore the large characters "Playboy."
"’Grassroots Hero: My Wife is a Snake Demon’ has already been serialized to the third issue, and once again, it leaves off at a critical moment, making one feel restless. I really want to go to the Capital City to urge for updates face-to-face..."
"But from the words, it’s clear that Chen Mo does not reject the Demon Clan, and even has a unique fondness for it."
"Since it’s okay for a snake, then it should be okay for a dragon too, right?"
...
...
Zhao Hua Palace.
The Empress awoke from a stupor, her consciousness regaining clarity.
"So comfortable~"
At this moment, she had completely undergone "transformation," her meridians perfectly integrated, golden Dragon Qi flowing turbulently within, making her deeply mesmerized by the powerful strength she now possessed, eager to challenge Yu Youhan!
Of course, she knew this was just an illusion brought on by her rapidly increased power.
After all, her cultivation time was too short, and she had only just stepped into the realm of Transcend Mortality.
But considering the enhancements from the Heavenly Shining Seal and Taiyin Geng Metal, as long as she didn’t encounter a particularly powerful Heavenly Master, self-preservation shouldn’t be an issue.
"It seems the effects of the Dragon Blood transformation are even better than expected!"
The Empress opened her eyes and saw Chen Mo leaning nearby, eyes closed, meditating.
Looking at his handsome face, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of oppression, her body slightly trembling with an urge to prostrate herself, to submit!
"This should be the bloodline pressure that little thief mentioned before."
"Strange, suddenly feeling so hot..."
The Empress inhaled the familiar scent, her breath gradually quickening, her whole body feeling aflame.
Chen Mo had only told her that there was a strict hierarchy among the Dragon Clan, but forgot to mention another thing: there is a strong attraction between Dragon Blood, commonly known as "Dragons are inherently lustful"...
"Mm... so uncomfortable..."
The Empress’s eyes grew misty, her vision almost overflowing with tears.
She only held out for a moment before her mind completely surrendered, her body uncontrollably crawling towards Chen Mo.
"Little thief, little thief?"
She reached out and pushed him a couple of times. Seeing no reaction from Chen Mo, she grew bolder, her fingers grazing across his strong chest and waistline, almost hearing her own rapid heartbeats in her ears.
On the small table beside them, the Taixu Mysterious Light Mirror continued to monitor the training ground, clearly showing Yu Youhan fiercely battling Tribulation Thunder all alone.
The female demon was indeed stretched too thin at the moment, making it a perfect opportunity to act.
Looking at that cold and beautiful face, there was unexpectedly a strange thrill, as if she were stealing a person in front of others...
"Pah, pah, pah, what stealing, the little thief is originally mine!"
"After all this time, it’s only a matter of sooner or later. Though it’s a bit rushed, it’s better than letting that vile woman get ahead!"
The Empress bit her lip, steeling herself, and immediately undid her palace gown and pressed forward.
Just as she was about to embrace him and perform the Palace Explosive Chicken, footsteps suddenly sounded from outside the hall, coming closer and heading towards the inner hall.
"Zhu’er?"
