I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 679

Chapter 679: Chapter 257: First Meeting with the Princess! My Cat Can Do a Backflip!_2

The appearance looks extremely strange.

"Oh, it seems I’m not here at the right time. Is the princely heir busy?" Chen Mo looked at everyone and said with a smile.

The old butler lowered his voice, his tone chilling: "Chen Mo, there is a noble guest in the mansion today. You can’t do as you please! If you offend the noble guest, even ten lives would not be enough for you!"

"Is that so?"

Chen Mo’s smile grew even brighter, "Since you said so, I really must take a good look."

After speaking, he walked straight into the hall.

"Bold!"

The old butler’s eyes turned cold, and he reached out to grab him.

Boom—

The wrinkled hand hadn’t touched Chen Mo when a blazing golden light flashed, sending him flying!

Bang—

The old butler’s back hit the wall.

Dust flew, the entire hall shook violently!

If it weren’t for the mansion being reinforced with an array, it might have already collapsed under the impact!

Chu Yanli’s indifferent voice rang out: "The Flying Phoenix Order is issued, as if the Holy Empress herself arrived, how dare something blind infringe upon the Eastern Palace’s majesty?"

The old butler’s bones broke, chest caved in, face as pale as paper, a strand of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

"This old slave deserves death. I humbly beg Your Highness for forgiveness." He dared not use his powers to heal, forced himself to bow, trembling as he spoke.

"Your Highness?"

Looking at the woman in red, Chen Mo’s eyes flickered.

There are not many in the capital who can be called "Your Highness."

Combining with the somewhat familiar golden light earlier, the answer was obvious.

"Isn’t the Princess in the Southern Border? Why back suddenly?"

He didn’t expect to meet the legendary Princess Xuanhuang here.

Though he felt some trepidation, he accepted it readily, knowing they’d meet sooner or later, no need to hesitate.

Chu Yanli also scrutinized this "appointed concubine."

Indeed, he looked even more handsome in person...

Clatter, clatter—

Chen Mo walked forward, bowed and said: "I didn’t know the Princess would grace us with her presence. If there’s any offense, I beg Your Highness for pardon."

Chu Yanli curiously said: "You know me?"

Chen Mo shook his head and replied: "I don’t know you, but I’ve heard your tales."

"Like what?" Chu Yanli asked.

Like how you confronted the emperor in Qianji Palace... Chen Mo earnestly said: "Your Highness personally led troops to suppress the Southern Barbarians, slaughtering thousands, restoring Heaven and Earth to Great Yuan... banners flying, who in the world doesn’t recognize you?"

This statement is true.

The experiences of Princess Xuanhuang are indeed legendary.

If she hadn’t led the army back then, Great Yuan might have faced extinction.

Moreover, as an imperial noble, she willingly abandoned luxury, guarding the Southern Border for decades, something not many could achieve.

"Who in the world doesn’t recognize you..."

Chewing over these words, Chu Yanli nodded: "These words are interesting, who would’ve thought you, a military officer, would be literate... Have a seat."

Lu Shuangge brought over a chair and placed it between Chu Yanli and Jiang Wangye.

"Mr. Chen, please."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Chen Mo sat on the chair calmly.

Seeing his composed demeanor, Chu Yanli’s gaze grew more satisfied.

"Do you usually wear tokens around your neck?"

Chu Yanli looked at the dazzling assortment of tokens around him, besides the Flying Phoenix Order, Purple Phoenix Order, Eastern Palace Order, Qilin Token... there was even a wooden plaque engraved with "Tianshu"?

This guy’s background is too complicated!

"When out and about, identity is self-assigned... Besides, the mansion guards are rather aggressive. Without these, I couldn’t have gotten in." Chen Mo helplessly spread his hands.

"Meow~"

The cat lying in his arms cautiously peeked at Chu Yanli.

Apart from facing the Daoist Venerable and Empress, it was the first time its eyes showed a "wary" emotion.

"This cat’s eyes are quite special. Is it yours?"

"Picked it up."

"Does it have any peculiar traits?"

"Uh... it can do backflips."
