I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 405

Chapter 405: Chapter 170 The Fallen Empress! Empress, Your Highness, I want them all!_3

"Hmph, who’s talking nonsense?"

The Empress mustered a bit of spirit, lying in his arms, her eyelids lifting slightly as her dazed eyes looked at him.

"Last time you got injured during the Martial Arts Examination and stayed overnight in the palace, I kindly helped cover you with a blanket, only to be pulled into your arms by you."

"Not only did you talk back to me, but you also squeezed, squeezed my...!"

"You little thief, you’re truly incorrigible!"

"..."

Chen Mo was taken aback.

No wonder the Empress had been avoiding him for days; so this was the reason?

"Why didn’t Your Highness tell me?"

"How could I possibly bring up something like that?"

The Empress gave him a reproachful look, then said, aggrieved, "You used to call me your sweetie, but now it’s just ’Your Highness’ every time, so heartless..."

"..."

Chen Mo’s eyebrows twitched.

The Empress brought her crimson lips to his ear, breathing softly, "I’d like to hear it again, could you call me sweetie once more?"

Seeing the expectant look in her eyes, Chen Mo swallowed hard and said with difficulty:

"Sweetie..."

"Hmm~"

The Empress closed her eyes, satisfied, and fell asleep once more.

The atmosphere in the chamber was tranquil, and Director Chen finished recording, fiddling with the Image Stone in his hand, momentarily lost in thought.

"I wonder what expression Her Highness will have when she sees the scene inside tomorrow..."

...

...

Imperial Music Bureau, The Cloudwater Hall.

In the bedroom, Gu Manzhi sat cross-legged by the window.

A subtle azure light flickered between her brows, the energy around her swirling like a tidal wave.

Ever since the dual cultivation with Chen Mo, she had sensed a hint of Mysterious Daoist Rhythm, directly advancing the Green Jade Scripture to Mastery, yet it hadn’t been fully digested.

"Chen Mo is a Martial Artist, how could he possess such pure Dao Power?"

"The phenomena concealed within, surprisingly more alarming than my master, unless he’s one of those Ultimate Venerables... Could it be Consort Yu?"

Gu Manzhi pondered deeply.

At this moment, the bathroom door opened, and Ye Henshui emerged.

Having just bathed, she wore a plain nightgown, her fair and delicate face reddened slightly, silver hair emitting steamy tendrils.

"Woof woof~"

A small black-and-white dog wagged its tail, running around her.

Ye Henshui bent down to pick it up, smiling, "Heitu is still the cutest, much more pleasing to the eye than that rascal; how about I take you out for a feast later?"

"Woof woof!"

The puppy nuzzled into her arms.

Gu Manzhi said blandly, "It’s just a Paper Puppet, not a real dog; you just need to replenish it with Primordial Qi, it doesn’t need food."

"I’m willing, what’s it to you?" Ye Henshui gave her a glance.

She sat down across from her, sensing the powerful aura emanating from Gu Manzhi, a flicker of eagerness in her eyes, followed by deep internal conflict.

Ye Henshui nodded.

The two changed clothes, donned robes, and with a flash of their figures, vanished like shooting stars.

...

Outside Tiandu City, at Yushu Port.

The night was as dark as ink, moonlight slipping through the clouds, casting a silvery glow upon the river, gilding it with a layer of silvery luminescence.

Gu Manzhi and Ye Henshui descended from the sky, spotting the slender figure clad in black by the river’s edge, their pupils contracting slightly.

They swiftly approached, bowing in unison:

"Disciples greet the Master."

Ji Lianxing turned around, removing her hood to reveal a face half-hidden behind a golden mask, black and violet eyes gazing at them.

"Manzhi, you came too."

Gu Manzhi nodded, "Master, it’s been a long time."

Ji Lianxing scrutinized her, frowning, "You’ve lost your virginal essence?"

Her eyebrows relaxed, eyes filled with springtime, her body lacking in Yin Cha Qi, clearly indicating the loss of her primordial yin.

Knowing she couldn’t keep this hidden, Gu Manzhi confessed, "Yes."

"Chen Mo’s doing?"

"Yes."

"..."

Ji Lianxing’s frown deepened, she took a deep breath and said, "You’ve mastered the Soul Capturing music and excel in the Paper Puppet Technique, enough to contend with those men; hence, I sent you to infiltrate the Imperial Music Bureau, only for you to..."

Gu Manzhi replied blandly, "The Paper Puppet Technique can deal with other men but not deceive Chen Mo; otherwise, the mission wouldn’t have failed initially."
