I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 31

Chapter 31: Chapter 29 Empress: My Heart is So Tired

Sky Scale Guard Headquarters, Gui Water Bureau Office.

Shen Shuqiu sat at his desk, his expression grave.

Just a short while ago, the Lord Thousand Households who oversaw Bing Fire and Ding Fire, personally came to him, demanding a swift conviction for the Yan brothers.

The case must be closed within three days!

The implication was clear:

This case absolutely could not implicate anyone else!

But the problem was, Yan Liang had already confessed, stripped bare by Chen Mo...

Initially, Shen Shuqiu wanted no part in this.

However, without any instructions from the Empress, he had no choice but to brave through.

"Chen Mo, this kid, captures someone and then washes his hands off the matter..."

"He takes the credit, and I take the blame, truly unfilial!"

"Once this task is over, I'll send him to capture the Ten Great Demons, not allowing him to return if he fails!"

Shen Shuqiu muttered through gritted teeth.

Thump, thump, thump—

At that moment, a flurry of hurried footsteps sounded as an Assistant Officer stumbled in.

"Big, big, big..."

"Big your head, what's with the panic?"

Shen Shuqiu frowned.

The Assistant Officer, not minding the scolding, swallowed and said, "Sir, General Chen is back!"

"Heh, he dares to come back? I was just looking to trouble him..."

"He has returned with the bodies of the Ten Great Demons!"

"..."

Shen Shuqiu thought he might be hallucinating due to recent pressures.

He dug his ears and asked:

"What did you just say? Say it again?"

The Assistant Officer, concise and to the point, said, "The case in Tongling County, the real culprit is the Evil Ghost Qin Wuxiang, who has been beheaded by General Chen! His body is now placed on the training grounds!"

After a brief silence, Shen Shuqiu suddenly stood up and quickly walked out of the office.

The entire training ground was already crowded, bustling, with a cacophony rising to the sky!

He parted the crowd and walked to the center, only to see a headless corpse lying on the ground in front of him.

Beside the body lay a head with no distinguishable features or face, marked by a purple jade emblem on the forehead.

As a member of the Sky Scale Guard, who would not dream of capturing the Ten Great Demons, achieving fame throughout the lands?

Shen Shuqiu was no exception.

He had reviewed all information on the Ten Great Demons and was familiar with their characteristics—

With just one look, he could almost confirm, this was indeed the body of the Tenth Sky Demon, Qin Wuxiang!

"You didn't see it, that battle was ground-shaking, eclipsing the sun and moon!"

"Qin Wuxiang transformed into a hundred-zhang tall giant demon, with demonic flames sky-high, arrogant and unrivaled! A single slap flattened an entire street block!"

"However, General Chen just gave a slight smile and said indifferently: 'A tiny glow dare competing with the bright moon? Bring me my sword!'"

"With a casual strike, his Sword Qi tore through the void, causing anomalies in heaven and earth, splitting that giant demon in two on the spot!"

"The might of one sword, terrifying indeed!"

Qin Shou stood amidst the crowd, speaking as if performing a comic dialogue.

The surrounding people listened as if they were there themselves, utterly captivated, occasionally letting out exclamations.

"Where's General Chen? Why don't I see him?"

Someone loudly inquired.

Qin Shou shook his head, sighing:

"General is generally great, but just too low-profile."

"He said: 'I do not take credit alone, nor shirk responsibility. I did not wish to claim this limelight but chose to give this opportunity to our younger brothers.'"

"That's what you call a truly broad perspective!"

Other Assistant Officers nodding in agreement.

General Chen really has quite the stature!

"Chen Mo... Chen Mo..."

A wave of shouting suddenly rose.

Then, more and more people joined in, gradually growing into a thunderous roar!

This was the Ten Great Demons! Moreover, a first kill!

Not only the Gui Water Brigade, but the entire Sky Scale Guard was glorified!

"Chen Mo! Chen Mo!"

The shouting was deafening.

Within the boiling crowd, Shen Shuqiu stood still like a statue, his expression a mix of bewilderment and disbelief.

"I was just talking casually, but he actually brought back the Heavenly Demon?!"
