I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 727

Chapter 727: Chapter 274: Eavesdropping Storm! Master and Disciple Take Turns Suffering!

?

Ji Hongxiu snapped back to reality, hurriedly releasing her tightly clenched right hand.

Her mind was hazy, instinctively wanting to grab onto something, thinking she was holding the Causality Severing Sword...

Chen Mo silently adjusted his posture, feeling the atmosphere was a bit awkward, cleared his throat and said, "Daoist Venerable, why did you suddenly collapse at the doorway?"

"I..."

Ji Hongxiu didn’t know how to explain.

Surely she couldn’t say she came especially to see him and was eavesdropping outside the door?

Thinking of the scene she had encountered earlier, she felt a bit uneasy, turned her graceful head aside, and said indifferently, "Just a minor setback in cultivation, no big deal... Thanks for your help earlier, just pretend I never came."

Having said that, she prepared to get up and leave.

Yet as soon as she stepped off the bed, she felt the world spinning, her vision darkening.

"It seems the Soul Power has been excessively depleted, harming the Origin..."

Ji Hongxiu gritted her silver teeth, enduring the throbbing pain from her Divine Soul, supported by the wall, and slowly made her way to the door.

Chen Mo frowned and said, "Are you sure you’re okay looking like this?"

"I know my body best. Go accompany Qingxuan, don’t worry about me." Ji Hongxiu said, without turning her head.

Chen Mo couldn’t tell if it was an illusion, but he felt her tone carried a sense of resentment...

At the door, Ji Hongxiu took a deep breath, Zhou Shen Qi Light flowing around her, preparing to vanish into the void.

In the next instant, the Primordial Qi abruptly extinguished, her figure swayed, and she fell to the ground with a "thud."

"..."

Chen Mo walked over, picked her up, and carried her back to the bed, helplessly saying, "You’re obviously in a bad state, don’t keep up the act. You can’t even walk properly, yet you want to traverse the void?"

"I said, I don’t need your help." Feeling embarrassed, Ji Hongxiu’s tone became a bit colder.

"Alright, then handle it yourself."

Chen Mo didn’t want to argue unnecessarily, so he turned and left the room.

Watching his back, Ji Hongxiu’s lips moved as if wanting to call him back, but she ultimately remained silent.

She lay powerlessly on the bed, staring at the ceiling, her eyes losing focus.

"What’s wrong with me?"

"I clearly wanted to talk to him properly, but the words just taste different once spoken..."

"And this strange feeling..."

Ji Hongxiu furrowed her brows slightly, her hands holding her heart.

Logically, she had already eliminated the Three Corpses, should no longer be affected by obsessions, greed, lust, and other distracting thoughts, her heart should be calm as still water.

But her chest was filled with a sourness she had never experienced, like her Peach Tree Dharma had turned into a lemon tree.

She didn’t understand why, all her past experiences, when encountering Chen Mo, were ineffective, completely defying logic...

Just then, unclear conversation voices came from the next room.

Ji Hongxiu hesitated for a moment, moved to the wall, and pressed her ear tightly against it to listen carefully.

"Mr. Chen, where did you go?"

"Just outside for a breath of fresh air, you’re awake?"
