I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 1120

"Qingxuan?!"

Upon hearing Ling Ningzhi's voice, Ji Hongxiu and Chen Mo's expressions suddenly froze.

Just now, Daoist Venerable had logged in and was completely shocked, feeling like his mind was short-circuited, while Chen Mo was immersed in the lingering aftermath of entering the Dao, both of them completely ignoring the figure outside the door.

By the time they came to their senses, Ling Ningzhi had already pushed the door open and entered the room.

Standing beside the bed now, there was only a thin veil between the three of them; a simple reach to lift the curtain would reveal their scantily clad appearance.

"Oh no!"

Ji Hongxiu's expression was frenzied.

If Qingxuan saw her in this state, how could she face living anymore?

Though she understood that the relationship between her and Chen Mo couldn't be kept secret forever, she was not yet ready to confess... Sleeping with the apprentice's man is really something hard to speak about.

She immediately thought of escaping, but just as she got up, a burning sensation came from her thigh, and suddenly the Dao Pattern flashed with a dazzling red light.

Her whole body instantly weakened, collapsing back onto the bed.

"Why choose to flare up at this time?" Ji Hongxiu's heart tightened, her cheeks somewhat pale.

Ling Ningzhi heard the commotion and asked out loud, "Zhixia, is that you? Sorry to disturb your rest so late..."

Chen Mo gave Daoist Venerable a look, signaling her not to panic.

Being caught like this, with no way out, they must first find a way to "hide" the person.

His mind raced, using Purple Extreme Cave Heaven to interfere with perception, then evenly covered the force field over Daoist Venerable.

In an instant, her figure became distorted and blurred, blending with the surroundings, and in an eye blink, she was completely gone, indistinguishable to the naked eye.

"What technique is this?"

Ji Hongxiu felt somewhat surprised, also silently guessing Chen Mo's thoughts, lying quietly in the corner without making a sound.

"Cough, cough." After camouflaging the scene, Chen Mo cleared his throat, lifted the veil, rubbed his eyes, pretending to have just woken up, "Zhi'er, why are you here?"

Ling Ningzhi's expression was somewhat suspicious, her gaze sweeping over the bed.

Previously, through the veil shadows, it was hard to discern, vaguely seeming like there were three silhouettes, but now, there were only Chen Mo and Shen Zhixia on the bed.

"I should've been seeing things."

"There's no one else here, surely not the Grandmaster sneaking over..."

Ling Ningzhi didn't think much of it, looking at the sleeping Shen Zhixia, lightly biting her lip, saying: "Actually, it's nothing, just couldn't sleep tonight and wanted to come over to talk to you..."

Before the words were finished, she felt her body lighten, and she had fallen into Chen Mo's embrace.

"Don't make trouble, Zhixia is still here." Ling Ningzhi whispered.

Holding the soft body, Chen Mo laughed, "Daoist, you didn't really just come here to talk, did you?"

"Can't I?" Ling Ningzhi's face blushed, glancing at him angrily, "Do you think I'm like you, always thinking about that kind of thing?"

"Alright, alright, I'm the dirty-minded one." Chen Mo agreed, shaking his head, "Then tonight, we're just talking, doing nothing, okay?"

Given that Daoist Venerable is nearby, can't really investigate the apprentice in front of the master?

"Everything in the Southern Border is done? Was the process smooth?" Ling Ningzhi asked.

"More or less without any danger."

Chen Mo relayed every detail of what had happened during his venture.

Hearing he battled four Grandmasters consecutively, and then went to the Southern Wilderness to wipe out a Barbarian Tribe, Ling Ningzhi's lips parted slightly, her face became somewhat pale.

She initially thought Chen Mo was merely going to eliminate the remnants of the Divine Sect with no danger involved, but had not expected the process to be so complex, even the Barbarian Tribe getting dragged in!

Not to mention the shadow of aristocratic families behind it...

If it weren't for Chen Mo's extraordinary skill and good luck, this time he might have been in serious pain!

"Had I known it would be like this, I'd have asked Grandpa to think of a way to keep you in the Capital City, no way would I have let you go to the Southern Border." Ling Ningzhi said, still somewhat fearful after hearing everything.

This was practically more perilous than the last time capturing the Blood Demon.

If there was indeed an accident, she couldn't imagine how she'd face her future life.

Chen Mo comfortingly stroked the cascade of black hair, "I cherish life quite a bit, before leaving, I specifically asked Director Qi to predict my fortune. The hexagram showed a safe and sound journey, ultimately coming to a satisfactory end, which indeed, was correct..."

Thinking about the "Peach Blossom Evil," his expression became somewhat uncomfortable.

Now with master and apprentice having collided, isn't this fulfilling the prophecy?

So, this was not merely coincidence, but fate unfolded?

"First the Empress and Empress, then Yuan'er and Households Commander Ye, now it's Daoist Venerable and Zhi'er... Whatever was meant has arrived, I'd like to see what more tricks are in store!"

Chen Mo mused to himself.

"Lord, what are you thinking?" Ling Ningzhi asked.

"Nothing." Chen Mo changed the subject, earnestly said, "I was just thinking about asking Director Qi to predict another hexagram, to see how many babies we might have in the future?"

"What babies? You're always babbling nonsense!"

Ling Ningzhi's face quickly blushed red, stammering, "You, you can't go asking, otherwise I won't talk to you! Who thinks about this before marrying?"

Chen Mo chuckled, "Just kidding, I've already decided, we only need one baby girl in the future."

"Why?" Ling Ningzhi couldn't help asking.

Chen Mo leaned close to her ear and whispered, "There are only two bowls, both occupied, how am I supposed to eat?"
