I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 22

Chapter 22: Chapter 20: Partnering with a Fierce Woman?

The Sleeve Green Dragon is all about the art of concealing the blade.

Drawing the Sword Intent from within, unleashing it in an instant, it holds the might of a dormant dragon awakened, a roar that shakes a thousand mountains!

Just a slight release of its killing intent was enough to strip Li Yuan of any power to resist; that's the terrifying aspect of "Daoist Charm"!

"In the short term, she probably won't come looking for trouble with me."

Chen Mo glanced at his attribute panel.

...

"Heavenly Rank Martial Arts require 200 points per stage to break through, which is twice the amount needed for Earth-Level Martial Arts."

"That night, defeating the Copper Puppet increased it by 10 points, and also gained an extra 30 points of True Spirit... But such opportunities are hard to come by, especially since this is the Imperial City; where would that many strange creatures be available for me to farm?"

"If only I could get a few more Dao Essence Crystals."

Chen Mo pondered inwardly.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

After experiencing the sensation of rapid increase in strength, it's hard to return to a calm state and cultivate step by step once again.

As for acquiring Dao Essence Crystals, besides triggering random events, the only other way is to get system rewards given by the female lead.

So far, he has encountered two female leads.

Gu Manzhi is nowhere to be found; the other is Li Yuan...

Chen Mo became solemn.

Forget it, better to cultivate honestly; he definitely didn't want to get entangled with that fierce woman.

...

Having just entered the government office, Chen Mo heard a "crackling" sound.

Looking up, he saw Shen Zhixia sitting in a chair, holding a bag of roasted barley, stuffing her cheeks like a hamster.

"Shen Zhixia? What are you doing here?"

Chen Mo asked in confusion.

Shen Zhixia's expression froze, a flicker of panic flashed through her eyes.

Then she silently turned around, back facing Chen Mo.

"Crackling~"

Chen Mo: "..."

What's the matter, afraid I'll compete with you for it?

He sat down next to her, unabashedly grabbed a handful from the bag, and stuffed them into his mouth.

Watching the pained expression on Shen Zhixia's face, he couldn't help but chuckle.

Roasted barley is just dry roasted barley kernels, quite similar to popcorn from his past life, but without butter and sugar, possessing a distinctive wheat fragrance.

Under their "open and covert battle," the bag emptied in no time.

Chen Mo felt unfulfilled.

After all, he had just finished a foot massage, and his energy was significantly depleted; he urgently needed to replenish it.

"Do you have any other snacks?"

Shen Zhixia hesitated for a moment, then took out two pieces of poria cakes from her bosom.

Giving him one of the cakes, she murmured:

"This is all that's left, I can only give you one..."

Looking at the cake compressed into a semi-spherical shape, Chen Mo's expression turned somewhat awkward.

Having seen Shen Zhixia soaked before, he knew just how generously endowed this girl was...

At least a D in the cup sizes.

"Right, you haven't answered my question yet; why did you suddenly come here?"

Chen Mo gnawed on the cake and asked.

"I came to see my brother... and also to return this to you."

Shen Zhixia took out a jade pendant and handed it to Chen Mo.

She had intended to return it last time she went to the Chen Mansion, but an "accident" happened...

Every time she thought about it, her face would turn red and her heart would start racing.

So embarrassing!

Chen Mo took the pendant and pondered for a moment, then condensed a verdant Essence in his palm, wrapping the pendant within.

The jade, already of excellent quality, seemed transformed, warm and lustrous as if made of cream, with a faintly flowing brilliance within.

"Here, it's for you."

Chen Mo handed the rejuvenated jade pendant back to her.
