I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 167

Chapter 167: Chapter 105: The Empress’s Counterattack! Empress: No Fooling Around! (6K)

Under the sunlight, the crystal shoes shimmered with a splendid luster, as impeccable as precious jade.

Yu Youhan’s eyes seemed a bit distracted as she asked, "What kind of shoes are these? I’ve never seen them before..."

Chen Mo, with the familiarity of a connoisseur, introduced, "These are designed especially for the Empress, named high heels. The material is Serpent Bone merged with Cloud Crystal, further embellished with Yao Stone, and the sole is carved with softening and lightening arrays, ensuring beauty as well as comfort."

Gift-giving also has its finesses.

First of all, it’s best if they can be carried on one’s person, not thrown in a corner to gather dust.

For example, the Protective Bracelet given to Xu Qingyi is worn on the wrist, and even if it is not used, every time it is seen, it reminds her of him and keeps the affection in mind.

Secondly, it should be tailored to the individual.

With the Empress’s status and power, ordinary Magical Treasures simply won’t catch her eye.

Therefore, one should not blindly pursue practicality. Rather, these "gorgeous but impractical" novelties can leave a deeper impression on her.

"Empress, what do you think of these shoes?" Chen Mo confidently asked.

Yu Youhan stood up, walked a few steps on the terrace. The heels clicked "clack clack" against the floor, then she gave her assessment:

"The heels are too high, affecting balance."

"The ankle can’t bend, creating additional strain on the knees and calves."

"The arches and toes are under too much pressure, long-term wear could easily lead to blocked meridians... Apart from their novelty appearance, I really can’t find any advantages."

Chen Mo: "..."

Seeing his slightly disheartened look, a smile flickered in Yu Youhan’s eyes. She bent down, whispered close to his ear, "Even so, I quite like them."

Her breath, fragrant as musk and deer scent, tickled his neck.

Looking at that exquisite face, eyes as bright as stars, Chen Mo’s heart raced and he blurted out, "I also like the Empress very much!"

?!

Yu Youhan’s expression stiffened for a moment, "What did you say?!"

Chen Mo snapped back to his senses, frantically explained, "Ah, I mean, I really like how the Empress looks in these shoes..."

"..."

Yu Youhan was silent for a moment, then emotionlessly said, "Think before you speak next time, do not talk nonsense. If others heard, it might cost you your life."

Chen Mo humbly replied, "I spoke without thinking, please forgive me, Empress."

"Hmm."

Yu Youhan responded lightly.

Neither spoke, the silence was so profound you could almost hear heartbeat.

A breeze blew by, lifting strands of her hair, revealing her fair earlobes already flushed and warm.

"Right."

At that moment, Chen Mo remembered something and said, "These shoes might be lacking alone, I’ve also prepared a set of clothing for the Empress to match them."

He took out two pieces of clothing from the Sumeru Bag and presented them to Yu Youhan.

"There’s also a matching outfit?"

Yu Youhan reached out to take them.

Black and white, the fabric silky and light, a style she hadn’t seen before.

What exactly goes through this man’s mind... how come he’s always studying women’s clothing?

"Empress, would you like to try them on now?"
