I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 161

Chapter 161: Chapter 103 Bath Time! The Empress’s Secret is Out! (6K)_3

Ji-level demons, with strength already at the fourth-level peak, not to mention the two Chinese Zodiac Branches... Relying merely on three groups of offerings, they managed to slay all the demons?

Seeing the confusion of the Honorable Counselor, Li Siya explained: "Among those demons, including the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, 90% were slain by Hundred Households Chen. Without Mr. Chen, I’m afraid we would have already perished in the wilderness."

The middle-aged man fell silent.

Then, he turned his head to look at the elderly man in plain clothes and asked, "Elder Ling, had you calculated this outcome already?"

The old man, rocking in his chair, chuckled and said: "Chen Mo’s destiny is profound, bearing great momentum. As long as he is present, he will surely turn calamity into blessing... cough cough, you should think about how to thank him properly."

"..."

The middle-aged man felt a headache coming on.

Initially, he had simply followed Elder Ling’s request to let Chen Mo accompany them, without the need for him to exert much effort; giving him a few Spiritual Treasures later would suffice.

But he hadn’t expected Chen Mo to achieve such great merits.

Now, ordinary items really wouldn’t do...

What should he give him...

...

...

Chen Mansion.

In the courtyard, two figures flashed back and forth, moving so fast they were hard to catch with the naked eye.

Boom!

Shen Zhixia swung her fist, unleashing powerful force, squeezing the air and causing it to burst.

He Yuzhi dodged to the side and aimed her fingertips at Shen Zhixia’s Jiquan Acupoint under the armpit, one of the Heart Sutra points; if touched, it could incapacitate half of the body.

Shen Zhixia reacted extremely quickly, twisting her waist in mid-air, her clothes fluttering as she dodged the fingers and transformed her hand into a blade, slicing towards He Yuzhi’s throat.

"Not bad."

He Yuzhi, with an approving look in her eyes, raised her hand to strike at Shen Zhixia’s chest.

Shen Zhixia’s skin shimmered with a jade-like luster, unflinchingly ready to risk it all.

Just inches from her skin, both stopped their hands simultaneously, the surging Qi Force causing a whirlwind, which blasted a distant stone table to pieces!

"Zhixia, are you close to reaching the fifth-grade? I’ve suppressed my realm to the Returning to the Origin Realm, and I was almost no match for you." He Yuzhi said with a smile.

Shen Zhixia breathed heavily, covered in sweat, shaking her head: "Aunt purposely let me, how could I not see it?"

Even with her realm suppressed, a Grandmaster’s combat instincts remained. If not for He Yuzhi holding back, she likely couldn’t have lasted three moves.

However, she was indeed close to a breakthrough.

The advantage of having the Innate True Martial Body was having no shackles; as long as the realm was reached, a breakthrough would come as naturally as the rivers flow.

Lately, she’s been eating well, her Essence Qi was abundant, and she had already faintly touched the threshold of the fifth-grade.

"I wonder how I compare with General Li?"

Shen Zhixia pondered secretly.

He Yuzhi took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat and said, "I’ve already asked someone to warm water for you, go take a bath first. Later, accompany me to Jinxiu Workshop; I heard they have new underwear in stock."

"Alright."

Shen Zhixia replied with a smile.

"Miss Shen, please come this way."

An attendant led her towards the back courtyard.

Upon reaching the back courtyard and entering the bathhouse, the attendant started to help her change, but Shen Zhixia shook her head: "No need, I will do it myself."
