I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 1130 419: Empress Catches the Daoist Venerable! Hellish Chaotic Scene Descends! (Part 2)

Two gazes fell upon her, and He Yuzhi immediately felt the pressure multiply.

Her intuition told her that mentioning the marriage agreement at this moment would definitely not be beneficial for the Shen Family. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "When it comes to matters of the heart, I usually prefer not to get involved. As long as Mo'er likes her, that's enough. Besides, these things depend on fate; after all, a forced melon is not sweet..."

She said the last sentence specifically for the two of them to hear.

"That's reasonable, Chen Mo should decide for himself. Some people shouldn't set themselves up for disappointment," Yu Youhan said with a hint of chill in her tone.

The Empress squinted slightly and said, "I agree, who he likes is the most important. Some people shouldn't get too arrogant just because they have a bit of power; who knows who will have the last laugh."

The two of them exchanged glances across the air, neither giving an inch, and the atmosphere was tense and explosive.

"..."

He Yuzhi, caught in the middle, felt a chill down her back.

Well, it seems neither of them listened at all!

Eventually, it was the Empress who averted her gaze first, then she said, "This conversation has strayed a bit. The main reason for my visit today is that one hour ago, the Sky Scale Guard assistants who went to handle the case in the Southern Border have arrived in the Capital City... only Chen Mo has not yet returned."

"Hmm?" Yu Youhan's eyes darkened, "Where has he gone? Could something have happened to him?"

"I inquired, and it is said that he went to Martial Saint Mountain to meet his fiancée," the Empress raised an eyebrow, "Could it be that the Imperial Consort was not aware?"

"I..."

Yu Youhan was about to say something when she suddenly seemed to sense something, her body froze, and a flash of panic and disbelief appeared in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" The Empress noticed the peculiarity and asked in confusion.

"Nothing." Yu Youhan's ears turned hot, and she bit her lip, her voice trembling slightly, "Did you just say that Chen Mo is at Martial Saint Mountain?"

"It seems so..."

As soon as the Empress finished speaking, the void tore open, and Yu Youhan's figure suddenly vanished.

?

The Empress was momentarily stunned, "Where did she go?"

"We were just having a good conversation, what's the Empress doing now?" He Yuzhi looked bewildered.

The Empress regained her composure, rubbing her chin with her delicate fingers, murmuring thoughtfully, "Seeing her like that, could it be just like last time..."

"Last time?" He Yuzhi was even more puzzled upon hearing this.

The Empress shook her head and said, "Forget it, let her be. Since Lady Chen went to such trouble to visit the palace, why don't we go to Yangxin Palace and have a good chat, just the two of us."

He Yuzhi quickly waved her hand, saying, "Your Highness, managing the affairs of the state, I dare not disturb..."

"Hey, state affairs can be handled anytime, but the opportunities for us to meet are rare."

"..."

Without further ado, the Empress took He Yuzhi's hand and walked out of the hall, "Prepare to return to the palace."

"Yes." Sun Senior Palace Lady bowed her head in response.

As the three of them left, the hall returned to silence, leaving only Xu Qingyi standing alone in solitude.

Originally, upon hearing that the Sky Scale Guard had returned to the capital, she felt a faint excitement. But upon learning that Chen Mo had not returned, her mood inevitably turned downcast and dejected.

"The bookstore owner is constantly urging me, eagerly waiting for 'Playboy' to be updated. This guy has become a completely hands-off manager, not caring about anything..."

"When he comes back, I'll definitely make sure he compensates me properly!"

"But when exactly will he return?"

"Sigh..."

An elongated sigh echoed within the palace hall.

...

...

Whoosh—

Yu Youhan's figure sliced through the void, crossing thousands of miles in an instant.

Feeling the tremors coming from her Divine Soul, her cheeks grew increasingly hot, and her porcelain-like skin flushed with a hint of pink, her expression filled with anger and resentment.

"What's this guy up to again?"

"Almost made me lose face in front of Lady Chen!"

This time, the Dao Power fluctuation was particularly strong, and it was very similar to the time the Empress spanked her.

It indicated that the other party's Dao Power was very compatible with Chen Mo's, and their realm was certainly above Grandmaster level to achieve such an effect. This ruled out Ling Ningzhi and Shen Zhixia right away.

"Could it really be Ji Lianxing?!"

Previously in the Southern Border, having witnessed Chen Mo's use of special Paper Puppets, Yu Youhan had such a suspicion.

As a First-grade Sorcerer, proficient in Paper Puppet Technique, and having practiced the 'Green Jade Scripture' just like Chen Mo... almost every aspect matched, and most importantly, Ji Lianxing had the motive to do so.

The animosity between the two was as deep as the ocean, but the disparity in power was too great. Ji Lianxing dared not confront her directly, so she resorted to crooked ideas, targeting those around her.

She once even tried to bewitch Chen Mo but failed, and now she's resorting to seduction.

This explanation makes perfect sense!

"But why would Ji Lianxing get involved with Martial Saint Mountain? Could Huo Wuya also want to be my enemy?"

"Chen Mo would never betray me; he must have been deceived by that woman."

"From the trigger to the formation of the Red Silk, it's about one to two breaths. As long as I'm prepared, it should be enough to handle her and get Chen Mo out."

Yu Youhan's cyan eyes shimmered with a fierce light, "Even if there's a Martial Arts Venerable, if you dare touch my man, I will kill you!"

Soon she reached Golden Sun State, hovering above the clouds.

Gazing at the endless mountain ranges below, she was about to take action when her movement suddenly stopped.

"Wait, the location seems a bit off?"

Yu Youhan vaguely sensed that the Dao Power fluctuation did not originate from the Green Sun Mountain Range.

After a careful perception, the source seemed to be towards the east?

"Is it..."

"East Victory State?"

With the tremors in her soul growing increasingly intense, she could feel her energy rapidly waning, her body gradually losing control, and the time left for her was running out.
