I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 364

Chapter 364: Chapter 159: Second Dual Cultivation! Ji Hongxiu’s Silver... Dao Pattern! (6K)_2

"I heard that Lady Lin is also quite the heroine, if Zhixia is willing, making friends wouldn’t be a problem."

What displeased Shen Xiong was that group of powerful ministers from the Six Ministries. In his heart, he actually had considerable admiration for the Empress.

As a woman ruling from behind a veil, managing state affairs, and balancing the nation, her capabilities and temperament rivaled those of any sage king in history.

Unfortunately, the court’s entrenched maladies had reached a terminal stage, relying solely on balance was akin to prolonging inevitable death...

A chaotic world requires drastic measures, severe illnesses require strong medicine!

Does the Empress have such boldness?

"Zhixia hasn’t even passed the door yet, and she’s always running to the Chen Mansion. The marriage contract was torn by that boy Chen Mo; outsiders will inevitably gossip. If we can obtain an imperial marriage decree, it would make things legitimate."

"The Empress definitely won’t agree easily. If the Lin Family can mediate, there might still be some hope..."

"Hmm, this should be reported to the Empress first..."

Shen Xiong’s thoughts were tumultuous.

...

Within the inner chambers of the Shen Residence.

The boudoir was simply and elegantly furnished, with bamboo blinds hung by the window and a huanghuali desk placed beneath.

A figure in moon white stood at the table, lifting her sleeve with her left hand to reveal a jade-like white wrist, while her slender fingers held a bamboo brush sketching on a piece of xuan paper.

In the midst of the brushstrokes, a tall and upright figure leapt off the paper.

Broad shoulders, narrow waist, tiger steps even beneath his robe his strong muscles were perceptible, a masculine aura was exuded.

Such a heroic body, yet the face was painted extremely sloppily: eyes not aligned, a mouth tilted to the ear, drool flowing down the corner, looking like a goofy idiot.

At this moment, Shen Zhixia came over, holding a pig’s trotter, her small mouth greasy with oil.

Upon seeing the portrait on the table, she paused slightly and then couldn’t help but laugh, "Daoist, how did you make Brother Chen Mo look like this?"

Ling Ningzhi paused, "Who said I was painting Chen Mo?"

Shen Zhixia gnawed on the pig’s trotter, her small mouth shiny with oil, and said, "The appearance may not match, but the physique is very accurate, even the muscle lines are identical. I have felt them myself..."

"..."

Ling Ningzhi’s face flushed a bit.

The two had arranged to meet for a small gathering today, and she came to the Shen Residence after leaving the Sky Scale Guard.

Shen Zhixia shouted she wanted to see her paint, and after picking up the brush, she inadvertently sketched according to the mischievous image from last night on her mind.

Halfway through, realizing something was wrong, she intentionally drew the face crooked, but it was recognized anyway.

Shen Zhixia poked Ling Ningzhi’s waist’s soft flesh, smiling as she said, "In the past, Daoist’s paintings were all of aerial landscapes, why are you drawing men today? Could it be you’ve taken a mortal interest?"

Ling Ningzhi felt guilty, brushed off her oily little hand, and snorted coldly, "It’s just something I painted specifically for you to see. How could I, a humble Daoist, know what’s on your mind?"
