I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 664

Chapter 664: Chapter 252 Chu Yanli: Concubine Already Reserved! Empress Baby Is Panicking! _2

"In this world, nothing is taken for granted."

Chu Yanli shook her head, her expression earnest as she said, "Many boast of loyalty and righteousness in this world, yet while wealth is easy to obtain, a true heart is hard to find. Elder Zhong treats me sincerely, and I am truly grateful... I should be the one paying respects to Elder Zhong."

With that said, she simply bowed deeply to Zhong Lihe.

Lu Shuangge, standing nearby, sighed while shaking his head upon witnessing this scene.

One could point their finger at the emperor and curse angrily, yet also bow before a "servant" without hesitation; their actions come from the heart, completely unabashed... Perhaps that is why they are willing to serve the Princess so loyally?

Am I not the same?

"Your Highness..."

Zhong Lihe’s voice was slightly trembling.

Having guarded this Heavenly Martial Arena for many years, the accumulated vexations in his heart suddenly vanished completely.

"Your Highness, please rise quickly. This is too much for an old servant!"

"Elder Zhong deserves it."

Chu Yanli straightened up from her bow, rotated her shoulders, and said with a look of anticipation, "By the way, it’s been so long since we last met, has Elder Zhong’s cultivation fallen behind? How about we spar with each other?"

"..."

Zhong Lihe’s eyelids twitched as he quietly took two steps back.

"Your Highness has just returned to the Capital City, weary from the travel; it’s not advisable to engage in a big fight at the moment... another day, we will discuss it another day."

"Alright."

Seeing this, Chu Yanli did not insist and asked, "While I was away, was there anything unusual?"

Upon hearing this question, Zhong Lihe’s expression became serious, and he said gravely, "To report to Your Highness, someone has passed the Military Dao trial."

"Hmm?"

"You mean someone has taken the Warlord’s inheritance?"

"Indeed."

Chu Yanli’s eyes slightly narrowed, and she said, "Let’s go and take a look."

The two walked through the martial arts arena, arriving at the deep section of the building, and pushed open the rusty door.

Due to the previous events, the Evil Qi of the Mountain of Blades and Tomb of Swords had not yet reformed, so it was temporarily closed to outsiders.

The square was empty, and under the scarlet lights, one could see tens of thousands of swords and blades thrust into the ground, like a gray tide undulating.

Above the Sword Mountain, a thirty-three-level blue-black stone platform hovered silently.

Chu Yanli stepped out, her figure suddenly vanishing from the spot.

The next moment, she appeared directly at the top of the stone platform, standing in front of the pillar at the highest level.

Zhong Lihe and Lu Shuangge quickly followed suit, flying down.

Chu Yanli reached out and touched the patterns on the pillar, her expression somewhat reminiscent, "It seems what I sensed that day was not a mere illusion. Unexpectedly, someone achieved it so soon... Who is he?"

Zhong Lihe replied, "Deputy Thousand Households of the Sky Scale Guard, Chen Mo."

"Chen Mo?"

Chu Yanli thought for a moment, but she didn’t have any impression of such a person, "Has he recently broken through to Grandmaster?"

Zhong Lihe shook his head, "He’s not a Grandmaster; he’s a Fourth-Level Warrior."
