I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 294

Chapter 294: Chapter 138 Empress: Despicable little thief, I will ignore you from now on! Fallen fairy! _2

"It seems something is wrong with my body..."

"It’s all because of Chen Mo! That rascal, every time we meet, he torments me... And to think I was worried about his safety, I should’ve never gone to the Chen Mansion..."

Ling Ningzhi’s mind was in turmoil, feeling a bit annoyed, but more so an overwhelming sense of helplessness.

Ultimately, it was her own choice, and she couldn’t blame anyone.

In a certain sense, she even had to thank Chen Mo for giving her hope to save her grandfather.

Gratitude, shame, powerlessness, curiosity... a myriad of complex emotions intertwined, making her feel like she was trapped in a vortex, being pulled into an abyss by an irresistible force.

"Since that’s the case, might as well let myself fall further! There’s no other choice anyway, right?"

A ridiculous thought emerged in Ling Ningzhi’s mind.

Once the thought took root, it grew wildly like weeds, no matter how many times she recited the Heart Clarity Spell, it couldn’t be eliminated. Instead, it continued to spread, occupying her entire mind.

The candlelight flickered, casting a soft glow on her exquisite face.

Her cheeks were flushed with an intoxicating redness, her eyes drooped as if covered with a thin mist, she hesitated for a long while, and her slender fingers slowly reached downward.

Knock, knock, knock —

Suddenly, the window lattice was knocked.

Ling Ningzhi snapped back to reality, hurriedly withdrawing her hand, her cheeks burning with embarrassment, "What am I doing? I must be crazy..."

She quickly calmed her emotions, got up, went to the window, and pushed it open. A snowy white hawk falcon flew in, landing on her shoulder, a piece of jade clutched in its beak.

Ling Ningzhi reached out to take the jade, stroked the smooth feathers, and let the hawk falcon fly away.

Primordial Qi injected into it, lines of text appeared before her eyes.

Before descending the mountain, she had entrusted the sect steward to investigate any information related to Immortal Materials and to periodically convey it to her.

However, the information was too scattered, mostly unfounded rumors needing to be screened by herself. Ling Ningzhi memorized all the content and then crushed the jade into powder.

She secured the window and sat back on the meditation mat.

Recalling her ridiculous actions earlier, she couldn’t help feeling embarrassed, expelled all distracting thoughts, and continued her cultivation.

Yet she was completely unaware that the Dao Heart, once as hard as ice, had already quietly developed cracks.

...

...

In the following days, Chen Mo remained at the mansion to recuperate.

After refining the Xuanxue Guiyuan Pearl, the depleted Qi-Blood was fully replenished, even several times stronger than before, yet the damaged Divine Soul was not as easy to heal.

During this time, Eunuch Jin came to announce an edict, officially promoting him to Fire Deputy Thousand Households, and also delivered the Martial Arts Champion rewards — Spiritual Marrow, Alchemy Pills, jewels... almost filling the entire courtyard.
