I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 182

Chapter 182: Chapter 108: Husband? It’s over! The Empress is going to catch us red-handed! (7K)_4

*Her Spiritual Sense told her that Chen Mo was not lying.*

*The only known Creation Ancient Tree had already withered. Even if there were other ancient trees out there, who knew how many years it would take for the Spirit Fruits to mature?*

*She could wait, but her grandfather might not have the luxury of time.*

*Despite the discomfort in her heart, Ling Ningzhi suppressed her emotions. This was not Chen Mo’s fault. After all, the Spirit Fruit was meant to save lives, regardless of status or rank. Everything was just a matter of fate.*

Swallowing her bitter disappointment, Ling Ningzhi whispered, "In that case, I will take my leave without further disturbance. Farewell."

Saying this, her Moon White Daoist Robe fluttered away.

Chen Mo couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The Three Saint Sect wasn’t to be trifled with, especially the Tianshu Pavilion, which excelled in the art of divination. In the eyes of those Taoists, it seemed nothing in the world was a secret...and the secrets he held must never be exposed!

At this moment, Li Yuan suddenly exclaimed, "Tianshu Pavilion? Could she be Fairy Qingxuan, the top of the Rouge List? No wonder her aura was so extraordinary... It’s a pity I couldn’t see her face; she must be a stunning beauty!"

"The number one beauty? Ha ha."

Chen Mo shook his head, saying, "Do you know who publishes the Rouge List?"

Li Yuan replied, "The Rouge List and the Cloud Top Ranking, both are compiled and released by the Tianshu Pavilion."

Chen Mo sneered, "Being both the contestant and the judge, what credibility can this stupid ranking have?"

Ling Ningzhi was indeed very beautiful, but in his eyes, she fell a bit short compared to the Empress.

But he doubted Tianshu Pavilion would dare to put the Empress’s name on it...

"If you meet her again in the future, try to keep your distance. Don’t say a word unnecessarily," Chen Mo instructed.

Li Yuan was somewhat puzzled, "Why? I feel that this Daoist Qingxuan seemed quite friendly..."

*Friendly?*

*That’s because you didn’t see her hand-crushing Heavenly Thunder, wiping out villains with ease!*

*Late in the game, she fought from the Southern Border to the Northern Territory, plowing through all of Jiu Zhou. People on forums called her the Unmatched Immortal, the First Thunder Mother!*

Chen Mo advised earnestly, "There are four kinds of people on the Jianghu you should never provoke: monks, Taoists, women, and children. She embodies two of those categories herself, so she is definitely not easy to deal with... Just listen to me."

"Hmm, I understand."

Li Yuan nodded and, after thinking for a moment, added, "But I think there should be one more category."

Chen Mo asked curiously, "What type?"

Li Yuan’s cheeks reddened slightly as she leaned in and whispered in his ear, "Also scoundrels."

Chen Mo: "..."

...

...

At 5 p.m., as the sun set in the west, the afterglow painted the sky a brilliant red.

The Lin Residence, located on Jinglan Street, was close to the Imperial Palace. Verdant plants surrounded the serene environment, with almost no sign of passing carriages.

Chen Mo arrived at the entrance of the Lin Residence and raised his hand to knock on the door knocker.

Knock, knock, knock —

Soon, the door opened, and the female housekeeper bowed, "Is it Young Master Chen? Please come in, my lady and the young lady have been expecting you."

As Chen Mo stepped into the courtyard, two figures emerged from the main hall.

Lin Jingzhu, rarely seen without her Martial Robe, was wearing a light cyan pleated skirt, with a round collar that revealed her swan-like neck. The hem of the skirt swayed, faintly showing her fair and delicate calves.

Her black hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, giving her a gentle and elegant air, quite different from her usual Jianghu aura.

The beautiful woman beside her wore a verdant green lunar skirt. Her figure was voluptuous and graceful, with delicate and graceful eyebrows, and carried an air of intellectual charm amid her poise.

The two stood together like twin flowers, making the blossoms in the courtyard pale in comparison.
