I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 80

Chapter 80: Chapter 64: The Imperial Consort Commits Murder, King Yama Calls the Roll! (Seeking First Subscription!)

Prince Yu Mansion.

The study was filled with a thick scent of blood.

The old butler pushed the door open and walked in, his eyebrows slightly furrowing at the sight of the disarray before him.

Ever since he had practiced that forbidden skill, the Princely Heir’s temper had become increasingly violent...

Chu Heng threw the limp corpse on the ground, his eyes bloodshot, his brow furrowed with malice.

"Why, why?!"

"Why would Chen Mo trace it back to Zhou Jing’an?!"

The morning court had just ended when Chu Heng received the news.

The Demon Clan was suppressed, the Red Sand Mine exposed, and Zhou Chuanbing, Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, had been thrown into the Imperial Prison!

Not only that, but ministers tainted by the Barbarian Tribe had been exposed en masse!

Years of planning, all ruined in a single day!

The old butler sighed.

He had warned the Princely Heir to keep a low profile when the Demon Clan case first came to light, but...

Now it was too late for regrets.

"It’s all because of that brainless Jue Mi, killing is fine, but not cleaning up the corpse properly!"

"And Zhou Jing’an, goddammit, I told that idiot to act cautiously, yet he got caught so swiftly!"

"Useless, all of them are bloody useless!"

Whoosh—

Chu Heng became the master of clearing desks, flipping the entire table over.

Seeing his furious state, the old butler’s frown deepened, and he said reassuringly, "Fortunately, Zhou Jing’an signed the ’Creation Gold Contract,’ none of the information related to the Princely Heir will be revealed. There is still hope in the future."

Chu Heng panted heavily, his expression gradually calming down.

Since he dared to use Zhou Jing’an as a "White Gloves," he must’ve been fully prepared.

However, those officials involved with the Barbarian Slave were different; although it would not be fatal to him, it would definitely put him under the scrutiny of the Eastern Royal Palace.

"Chen Mo..."

"It’s him again!"

A glint of murderous intent flashed in Chu Heng’s eyes.

But in the end, reason prevailed.

The matter was already settled, killing Chen Mo would serve no purpose other than venting anger, and would only increase risks.

Moreover, with Chen Mo’s strength matching fifth-grade after slaying Jue Mi, he was not so easily killed... at least, not quietly in the Capital City.

"No need for me to take action, this time he turned the Ministry of Revenue into a sieve, Lv Bojun, that old fox, will not let this slide."

"Also, tell Jue Tong that the plan is exposed and her sister was killed by Chen Mo!"

"Hmph, now that he’s in the sights of the Demon Clan, he’s going to have headaches! I refuse to believe he won’t leave Tiandu City for the rest of his life!"

Chu Heng said in a sinister tone.

"Yes."

The old butler replied and was about to leave when Chu Heng stopped him, "Also, keep a close watch on Yu’er, make her use all her tricks to hook Chen Mo!"

After all, "fondness for pleasure" was the only known weakness of Chen Mo...

...

Five hundred li to the north of Tiandu City, Yunlong Village.

The long-abandoned dilapidated house was in ruins, wild grass climbing and sprawling through the walls, the hall covered with cobwebs, emanating a smell of decay and antiquity.

However, a neat and tidy room in the inner yard was as clean as a new house.

There were four people in the room, two men and two women.

Three of them had distinct animal traits.

One had a dog-like nose, one had rabbit ears, and another had large, protruding teeth, like those of a wild boar.

Sitting in the chief position was a woman in a red dress, with a beautiful face and curvaceous figure, her pale blue pupils embedded with tiny lettering that faintly spelled out the character "Geng".

"Can’t you guys keep your Demon Forms in check? At least try to look human, can’t you?" the woman in the red dress frowned and said.

"There’s no one else here anyway, it’s comfier this way," the rabbit-eared woman said in a cute voice.

The fang-mouthed man glanced at the sky outside, puzzled, and said, "Strange, it’s past 9 a.m already, why hasn’t Jue Mi returned?"

The rabbit-eared woman huffed, "Maybe she saw some handsome young man on her way and got preoccupied... Jue Mi is not weak, but too playful. I always feel like she’s going to mess something up."

The woman in the red dress’s brows tightened slightly.

For some reason, she felt a vague unease.

"With the Evil Suppressing Jade to conceal, Jue Mi’s identity should not be exposed; Chu Heng has the contract to bind him, so he couldn’t stab us in the back..."

"What exactly went wrong?"

Her Spiritual Sense was rarely mistaken, but she could not pinpoint the problem at the moment.

Suddenly, the dog-nosed man twitched his nose and said, "Do you smell something fragrant?"

"What fragrance?"

"I don’t smell it."

Both the rabbit-eared girl and the fang-mouthed man shook their heads.
