I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 1138 423: The Empress's Heart Stirred! As for Lady Chen, She Will Be Mine!

"Compensation?"

Huo Wuya was stunned for a moment, "What compensation?"

Yu Youhan said calmly, "Because of your mistake, Chen Mo nearly encountered danger, fell unconscious for several hours before waking, and it's still uncertain whether he has sustained any hidden injuries."

"Medical expenses, loss of work, mental distress compensation... Naturally, these should be compensated by you, any problem?"

These terms, she had learned from Chen Mo, and she was applying them skillfully now.

???

Huo Wuya's eyelids twitched slightly, clenching his teeth, "So he absorbed the Supreme Sword Intent, destroying my sect's heritage, and now you want me to compensate him? Is there such a logic in the world?"

"What you destroyed was just heritage, but what he affected was the body."

"Besides, being able to refine Sword Intent is Chen Mo's own ability, but putting him in danger is your responsibility."

Yu Youhan's tone was chilling, "You should feel fortunate, Chen Mo's mind is resilient enough not to be overwhelmed by the Evil Qi, or else the destruction of Martial Saint Mountain would not be just a heritage!"

Huo Wuya's lips moved, not knowing how to refute for a moment.

Although the other's attitude was domineering and arrogant, these words indeed had a bit of truth.

No one anticipated beforehand that Chen Mo would actually trigger the Supreme Sword Intent. If it were any ordinary Grandmaster under the impact of the surging Evil Qi, they'd likely become a mindless zombie.

So he had never intended to make Chen Mo "compensate", just hoping to use this opportunity for recruitment purposes.

Unexpectedly, the boomerang came back so quickly.

"Then what does the Imperial Concubine think should be the resolution?" Huo Wuya asked, "Even if compensation is due, there should be some parameters, right?"

"That depends on your sincerity." Yu Youhan said with her hands behind her back, "I'll be staying at Martial Saint Mountain for a few days, and if the solution you provide satisfies me, this matter will naturally be resolved. But if you try to bluff, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Stay, stay at Martial Saint Mountain?!" Huo Wuya's expression stiffened.

"Why, are you not welcoming?" Yu Youhan raised an eyebrow, her cold Qing Bi eyes glancing at him.

"That's not it..."

"Alright, then I'll do as I please."

Before Huo Wuya could finish speaking, Yu Youhan lifted her leg and headed toward the mountain gate.

"Empress!"

Chen Mo hurriedly quickened his steps to follow.

The elders looked at each other, but no one spoke.

What a joke, even the Sect Master is not a match for this woman, who dares to challenge her here?

"Daoist Venerable, what exactly is going on?"

Once Yu Youhan had left, Huo Wuya looked up at the silent Daoist Venerable, frowning, "Why is the Great Yuan Imperial Consort accompanying you? Are you two..."

"This matter is quite lengthy, but rest assured, we are definitely not on the same side, I just had a bout with her." Ji Hongxiu hesitated slightly, then said, "But still, I advise you, better follow her instructions, since that female demon is capable of anything."

The previous duel between the two, Yu Youhan was restrained by the red ribbon and did not exert full strength, even so, Ji Hongxiu felt considerable pressure.

Now dealing with Huo Wuya, there is absolutely no need for any reservations. With her ruthless nature, if things get too tense, she might really bloodbath the mountain gate!

Huo Wuya understood the implied meaning, and his expression became grave.

"Before the Qingzhou Secret Realm opens, I will stay here to keep an eye on her, also to alleviate some pressure for you." Ji Hongxiu said.

"Thank you Daoist Venerable for your assistance."

Huo Wuya expressed gratitude.

With two top-tier Ultimate Venerables joining forces, no matter how powerful Yu Youhan is, she must weigh her actions wisely.

He was about to bow gratefully, but found he couldn't lift his arm, only then realizing his whole body was still embedded in the ground.

Noticing the curious gazes around him, Huo Wuya's old face turned slightly flushed, he got up and shook off the dust, while Ji Hongxiu had already floated away.

"Sect Master!"

"Are you alright?"

"Did you get injured?"

The elders gathered around, asking with concern.

"It's nothing, no need to make a fuss." Huo Wuya waved his hand, saying, "These few moves couldn't hurt this old man, I was just worried about affecting the sect, that's why I didn't retaliate."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"I see."

"I figured with the Sect Master's ability, how could he have no strength to fight back?"

"It's about considering the larger picture."

Jiang Zhiyun scrutinized him, frowned, "You seemed so pathetic earlier, you're saying it was all an act?"

Huo Wuya's expression grew slightly awkward, glancing left and right, he whispered, "Not exactly, I really couldn't beat her, that's a fact, but she's not so easily breaking my Martial Body... after all, getting hit but not retaliating means less beating."

Standing at the pinnacle of martial cultivation in Jiu Zhou, his physique is honed to the utmost, just a step away from achieving physical sainthood.

Those few strikes wouldn't quite shake the foundation.

Though survivable, but verily it hurt!

"..."

Jiang Zhiyun's mouth twitched slightly.

Zi Wenzhong smacked his lips, remarking, "Who could have thought that the legendary female demon... ahem, Consort Yu is so young? Truly one cannot judge a person by appearance, nor can seawater be measured."

Yu Youhan, as the Great Yuan Imperial Consort, would not easily expose herself.

Even when she previously obliterated a sect, all one could see was the azure tide and the Purple Phoenix pattern lingering on the ruins, few truly saw her appearance.

It's this mystique making her image increasingly fearsome among the Jianghu people, making it difficult to associate her with the radiant, extraordinarily beautiful, painting-like woman.
