I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48: Chapter 38: Sumeru Bag! Squeeze for Better Health! (2-in-1 Chapter)_2

He turned the pendant bag upside down and gave it a shake.

*Tinkling Clattering*

A pile of miscellaneous items fell out, scattering on the ground.

"Is this... a game inventory?!"

Chen Mo’s eyes lit up.

Gu Manzhi exclaimed, "I didn’t expect this ghost cultivator to possess such a treasure; you’re quite lucky."

Chen Mo asked curiously, "Is this thing rare?"

"Of course."

Gu Manzhi replied, "This is more precious than any magical treasure. A mustard seed containing Mount Sumeru, a speck of dust enveloping the universe; it involves the ultimate truths of the great Dao, an ordinary artifact master grandmaster wouldn’t be able to craft it... I’ve only seen one on my master."

Chen Mo thought so, too.

This thing could surely be considered a "space magical treasure", so it naturally couldn’t be just any common item.

He tried to immerse his mind into it and was met with darkness, as though he had entered another space.

It was pitch black and profound, yet he could sense the boundaries; it was about seven feet square, not very big, but sufficient to store some personal items.

Chen Mo picked up the water cup on the table, and with a thought, the cup disappeared in a blink.

With another shake, it reappeared in his hand.

After testing with the water cup, he began to try with the desk, chairs, and stools... having fun for a while.

Through testing, he found that as long as items were within a one-foot range around him, excluding living things, they could be directly stored in the bag.

What a fantastic treasure!

Searching corpses really is a good habit!

After tiring of play, Chen Mo began to inventory the remaining possessions of You Daoist.

[Top-Tier Earth-Grade Artifact: Soul Summoning Lamp.]

[Using Life Soul as wick, human fat as oil, it attracts Wandering Souls, strengthening ghosts.]

Looking at the bronze lamp in his hand, Chen Mo was a bit surprised.

A space magical treasure, the Sumeru Bag, a Medium-Level Soul Summoning Banner of the Heavenly Rank, and now a Top-Tier Earth-Grade Artifact... This You Daoist was truly dripping with wealth!

Just what was the deal with the Devouring Ghost Sect?

"Right, you said the Devouring Ghost Sect was annihilated. What happened?"

Chen Mo asked.

Gu Manzhi indifferently responded, "Just like the Moon Brilliance Sect, it was exterminated by Consort Yu."

Chen Mo: "..."

In the original story, the Moon Brilliance Sect was a major faction in Qing Province, holding its own territory, self-reliant on its martial prowess, unwilling to submit to Consort Yu, and publicly executed the envoy who came to negotiate.

Three days later, they met with a tragic extermination!

Only the sect leader who was in seclusion at the time, and a few disciples who were out on experience, managed to survive.

To say they had a deep-seated hatred would be an understatement.

That’s why they went all out against Yu Youhan, and the Chen Family was just the initial breakthrough point...

Seeing that Gu Manzhi’s expression wasn’t right, Chen Mo tactfully didn’t continue on this topic.

He continued to check the remaining possessions.

Apart from that bronze lamp, there was also an ancient book, aged and primitive on the cover, with the scribbled words "Ghost Book".

He flipped through it roughly; it was all about refining Life Souls and ghost-controlling techniques, very sinister stuff, which Chen Mo was not interested in; he threw it directly into the Sumeru Bag.

The rest were bones, human fat, Blood Pearls... and other such items used by ghost cultivators.

There wasn’t even a single silver coin...

Chen Mo stuffed all these items, along with You Daoist’s corpse, into the bag in one go, lifted the Sound Isolation Technique, and cleaned up the scene.

Then, he walked to the bed and lay down on it.

Gu Manzhi was taken aback for a moment, "You are..."

"Sleeping."

Chen Mo closed his eyes and said with a muffled voice.

He had absorbed too much Soul Power just now and felt a floating sensation throughout his body. His consciousness was extremely sharp, but his actions were a half-second slower, almost as if there was a delay.

But since he was not well-versed in Soul Refining techniques, he could only try to relax his mind as much as possible to adjust to this "lag".

"Seems like too rapid advancement isn’t a good thing."

"When there’s time, I’ll have to burst into the Empress’s presence to beg for a Soul Refining Method..."

Seeing that Chen Mo was motionless, as if truly asleep,

Gu Manzhi sat on the edge of the bed, chin propped up, gazing at that handsome and rugged face.

Her misty eyes dampened, her pretty face slightly blushed with a tinge of red, lost in thought.

...

It was past midnight.

All guests in the tavern had dispersed, each taking a lady to bed.

Only Li Yuan was left to drink alone, the table and ground around her cluttered with empty wine jars.

What was once a spirited look had become blurry, resembling Jiangnan’s misty rain in March. Her lips, lightly touched with rouge, appeared even more vivid, with a flush of red seeping through her fair skin like the dawn illuminating the snow.
