I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 55

Chapter 55: Chapter 43 Are You Going to Peep at the Empress Sleeping?

Frozen Sky Palace.

Around the sleeping quarters is a meticulously designed landscape garden.

In the center of the courtyard lies an artificial lake, its water so clear that the bottom can be seen. A few water lilies float on the surface, and occasionally, several koi swim through, creating ripples upon ripples.

On the shore, rockeries are piled up, with strange stones protruding. Between the rocks, water trickles, forming small waterfalls,

In the heart of the lake sits an exquisite waterside pavilion, with double eaves and arches, and light blue tassels hanging around, faintly revealing two figures inside.

Yu Youhan, dressed in a purple iris long dress and wearing a Twisted Branch Gold Hairpin, sat on a platform suspended over the water, her tight dress tracing a semi-circular arc. Her toes gently stirred the lake water, attracting small fish to swim around.

She looked less domineering and majestic than usual, her face tender and blushing, like the peach blossoms of springtime.

Chen Mo stood aside, quietly admiring this beautiful "Little Fish Tickling Foot" scene.

"You mean, you went to the Imperial Music Bureau to flirt and encountered an assassination by a Ghost Cultivator?" Yu Youhan’s voice was clear and melodious, like pearls falling on a jade plate.

Flirt? Flirting with loneliness...

Chen Mo sighed silently, saying, "That person claimed to be You Daoist, from the Devouring Ghost Sect. The Soul Summoning Banner originally belonged to him, but was stolen by Qin Wuxiang three years ago. Hearing of Qin Wuxiang’s death at my hands, he traced his way here."

"But with the Vitality Essence and the Divine Skills bestowed by the Empress, dealing with that Ghost Cultivator was easy."

Yu Youhan nodded slightly.

She had given him that Magic Seal originally to protect him.

The path of a Ghost Cultivator focuses on cultivating souls and nurturing ghosts; they are inherently weak. Chen Mo possesses the Soul Capturing Divine Ability; even a fifth-grade Ghost Official couldn’t trouble him much.

"The Devouring Ghost Sect has long been destroyed; this You Daoist must have had some fortuitous encounter, so there’s no worry about retaliation."

"But your Divine Soul..."

Yu Youhan turned her head, a strand of her black hair falling, her eyes flickered like a starry sea as she glanced at him.

Chen Mo gave a wry smile, "I ate too much and felt bloated."

From swallowing the soul power of over a hundred Fierce Ghosts, his Divine Soul had ballooned, the most direct effect being that his senses became extremely sharp— he could sense every minute movement within a hundred yards and his reaction time was extremely fast—

But that was exactly the problem.

His reaction speed was overly fast, yet his movements lagged, like a high-ping warrior.

"You only focus on Body Refinement and not Soul Refinement. Your Purple Mansion Spirit Platform has not yet been developed, rashly devouring too much soul power is like building castles in the air, at best causing mental confusion, at worst damaging your soul and destroying your Spirit Platform, to put it simply, it’s like..."

"A vegetative state?"

"Hmm?"

Yu Youhan asked in confusion, "What is a vegetative state?"

Chen Mo thought for a moment and said, "It’s like a plant, unable to move, losing all senses, unaware and unresponsive..."

Yu Youhan nodded, "That term is quite apt. Well, if you were less lucky, you might be in a vegetative state right now."

"..."

Chen Mo hadn’t expected he was almost turned into a large tree, frowned and said, "This Divine Skill actually has side effects?"

Yu Youhan’s jade-like toes continued to stir the small fish, clearly grasping his implication and coldly said, "It’s just like eating; you naturally stop when you’re full. Normally, swallowing a few Fierce Ghosts is enough to feel strained and difficult to continue, but who swallows hundreds continuously? Does this palace really need to tell you this?"

Chen Mo looked slightly embarrassed.

It was like the You Daoist had opened his chest up for a buffet, utterly beyond control.

And besides being "laggy", he didn’t really feel "stuffed".

"Forget it."

Yu Youhan shook her head.

Chen Mo’s figure suddenly soared, uncontrollably flying towards her, and she extended a young green jade finger, gently pressing it on his forehead.

Suddenly, everything went dark in front of his eyes, plunging into boundless darkness.

It seemed to be the end of the universe, without time or space, lacking any sense of up, down, left, or right, only a pure void remained.
