I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 33

Chapter 33: Chapter 31 Empress Can't Take It Anymore!

The real chill in one's heart isn't loud quarrels or uproars...

Chen Mo stood with his head bowed, utterly silent.

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Yu Youhan couldn't help but feel amused, thinking he looked like a fretful little housewife.

She sized him up carefully, her beautiful eyebrows gradually knitting together.

"Have you used up all your Essence?"

The Nine Revolutions Green Origin Pill is a divine-grade pill, containing immense Life Essence, normally enough for Chen Mo to reach the Heavenly Human Realm.

It had only been two days, yet it was all used up?

"I was on a mission yesterday..."

Chen Mo roughly explained what had happened.

Hearing about his entrapment in the Blood Prison and his body's near-destruction, Yu Youhan's eyes filled with a cold light.

Just carrying out one mission, and almost losing his life for it?

What did she care about Heavenly Demons or Evil Ghosts? Whether they killed countless people or brought calamity upon the innocent, what did it have to do with her?

But Chen Mo absolutely could not die before she completely rid herself of the red silk!

"Shift him to another position?"

"No, the Sky Scale Guard operates independently of the Three Divisions and Six Ministries; without this identity, he would be even more vulnerable to others' schemes."

"Or perhaps..."

"Just castrate him and bring him to the palace for me to watch over personally?"

After serious contemplation, Yu Youhan dismissed the idea.

Not to mention whether the Chen Family would turn against her, having this dog-like lackey dangling before her eyes every day, what if it triggered the red silk...

She had no wish to experience that helplessness of losing all power and being at others' mercy ever again.

Chen Mo looked eagerly at Her Majesty the Consort.

Unaware he had just skirted the brink of death.

"Forget it, open your mouth."

Yu Youhan sighed.

"Ah~"

Chen Mo obediently opened his mouth.

Yu Youhan flicked her finger, popping a green pill into his mouth.

A surge of Life Essence exploded within his body, the scalding liquid cleansing his meridians before continuing into his acupoints.

Chen Mo let out a satisfied hum.

"Her Majesty's..."

"?"

Yu Youhan felt something was off, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"This Nine Revolutions Green Origin Pill isn't something you find just anywhere. After annihilating the Golden Core Sect, I only managed to collect three... You'd better use them sparingly."

Mainly because the method to refine this pill had been lost; to say that each time one is used, one less remains wouldn't be an understatement.

Even with the Imperial Consort's wealth, it felt somewhat painful to part with them.

Chen Mo, having experienced their power first-hand, knew full well their potency.

As long as it wasn't a fatal blow or the soul was destroyed, it was akin to having an undying body!

"Her Majesty might not admit it, but she actually cares about me quite a lot."

Chen Mo revelled inwardly, chanting slogans while bowing deeply: "Her Majesty's grace is deeply etched in my heart. I am willing to go through fire and water for Her Majesty, and to die a thousand deaths without hesitation!"

Yu Youhan waved her hand dismissively, impatiently saying: "That's unnecessary, just stay alive, that's all."

"Oh, and I have a treasure to present to Her Majesty."

Chen Mo pulled out a scroll from his chest.

After removing the scroll case, he drew out a red ceremonial flag.

"That Qin Wuxiang had been planning for years for this magical treasure, I thought it might be useful to Her Majesty..."

"The Soul Summoning Banner?"

"Not a bad artifact. However, it's a Ghost Cultivator's tool, unorthodox, unfit for the public eye."

Yu Youhan glanced at it with some disdain.

Chen Mo touched his nose awkwardly.

He hadn't expected this Heavenly Rank Treasure to be so unimpressive in the eyes of the Empress.

"However, the Magic Seals inscribed on it, capable of devouring Divine Souls, are somewhat interesting..."

Yu Youhan's eyes flashed with a blue light, enveloping the Soul Summoning Banner in it.

The flag instantly writhed as if alive, struggling violently.

Black smoke billowed out, carrying ghastly and horrifying faces of spirits, continuously slamming against the blue light barrier, emitting sharp and mournful wails!

Seeing this, Chen Mo's face turned a shade paler.
