I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 832

Chapter 832: Chapter 311: Her Majesty the Consort’s Intentions! Princess’s Pouty Counterattack! (Part 2)

The Great Yuan was already beset by internal and external troubles, with the resurgence of the Demon Clan and the ongoing deterioration of sect issues. Now, with such a vile event occurring under the Emperor’s feet, I’m afraid the situation will only worsen.

"What does Qi Chengze say?" the Empress inquired.

Sun Senior Palace Lady replied, "That monk had a string of Buddha Beads in his hand, which contained pure Buddha Power, allowing him to temporarily elevate his cultivation to the First Grade. Qi Jianzheng pursued him for nearly ten thousand miles but ultimately, he escaped..."

The Empress was not surprised by this.

Since he dared to take action at such a critical juncture, he must have been fully prepared.

Moreover, Qi Chengze, as the Director of the Astronomical Observatory, focused his cultivation on astrology and divination, and his actual combat power was not that strong.

Sun Senior Palace Lady continued, "According to Qi Jianzheng, that monk came for the Dragon Qi. The people from the Demon Suppression Department went to East Cen Square to investigate and indeed found an Array Hub beneath a crevice. The seal has loosened, and it’s likely that some Dragon Qi has been stolen."

When it rains, it pours.

Amidst already turbulent times, the loss of the Dragon Qi, a symbol of the nation’s fortune, once again makes the situation seem increasingly dire.

The Empress felt a headache coming on and frowned, saying, "What about Li’er? Has she returned?"

Sun Senior Palace Lady shook her head, "The Princess is still outside the city searching for Chen Mo’s whereabouts. She hasn’t rested for a day and a night."

"Sigh..."

A long sigh echoed within the great hall.

...

...

Frozen Sky Palace.

Haitang Pond, shrouded in mist.

Yu Youhan soaked in the pool, lifting her hands to wipe the water off her collarbone.

Her delicate skin was like white jade, with water droplets rolling down and disappearing into the crevices.

Xu Qingyi knelt behind her, holding a wooden comb to smooth her teal hair, her expression conflicted, looking like she had something to say but hesitated.

"Alright, say what you have to say. I’m afraid you’ll suffocate if you hold it in," Yu Youhan said indifferently without turning her head.

Xu Qingyi swallowed and softly spoke, "With such chaos in the city, involving the Demon Clan, and even a court official losing his life, I’m worried about Mr. Chen..."

Yu Youhan glanced at her and sneered, "After all that, you just want to know about Chen Mo, right?"

"Forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Xu Qingyi hurriedly knelt, her tone flustered, "Since Your Majesty ordered, I’ve had no contact with Mr. Chen. But given the special circumstances this time, with no news from Mr. Chen, I dared to inquire."

"Get up. I’m not blaming you."

Yu Youhan leaned against the edge of the pool, speaking softly, "Don’t worry, I arranged for an Ultimate Venerable to protect him. Nothing will go wrong, and he should be back in a day or two."

"Really?"

Hearing this, Xu Qingyi’s eyes brightened.

"Why would I lie to you?"

Yu Youhan had reached a collaboration with the Daoist Venerable, arranging for him to protect Chen Mo’s safety.

When battling the Demon Lord in the Desolate Domain, emotions were stripped away, plunging her into nothingness, eventually being awakened by Chen Mo’s Divine Sense.

If not for Ji Hongxiu’s help, Chen Mo wouldn’t have been able to enter the Dao Domain, which indirectly indicates that they were together, at least ensuring safety.
