I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 519 - 204: The Mysterious Princess! Chen Mo: Am I a concubine again?!_2

On the one hand, it ensured Shen Zhixia’s status, while also serving as a delaying tactic... The Empress did not agree to the marriage alliance between the Chen and Shen families, so the wedding date was indefinitely postponed, and naturally, there was no opportunity for the Lin Family to exploit...

As long as it keeps dragging on!

Lady Jin Yun was not angry and nodded, saying, "Naturally."

"Alright, you guys can leave first, I still have things to discuss with Lady Jin Yun." He Yuzhi always felt something was fishy, who would eagerly send their daughter like that? Planning to probe further.

"Alright."

Chen Mo led the two people out of the hall.

As they reached the courtyard, Lin Jingzhu stopped and, with a grateful expression, said, "Miss Shen, thank you for helping me out just now..."

"Lin Catcher, you’re overthinking. I wasn’t speaking up for you, just didn’t want to make Brother Chen Mo uncomfortable."

Shen Zhixia remained expressionless and calmly said, "I understand my brother’s character, although he is a bit flirtatious, he is serious about every relationship... Previously, I was out of line, but since my brother has chosen you, I naturally have nothing more to say."

Facing her dignified and authoritative demeanor, Lin Jingzhu inexplicably felt a bit pressured.

It was as if she was indeed a concubine being reprimanded by the legitimate wife.

"However, brother, you should rein in a bit, this way, I’m afraid your body won’t be able to withstand it." Shen Zhixia gave Chen Mo a sidelong glance with her clear eyes.

"Um, I know my limits."

Chen Mo rubbed his nose, knowing he was a bit excessive.

Although Shen Zhixia seemed gentle and easy to talk to, she was more stubborn than anyone at heart, just willing to tolerate it out of affection... If her limits were truly touched, it would likely end in an uncontrollable situation.

"Also..."

Shen Zhixia’s cheeks blushed, and in a voice transmission said, "You’re only allowed to kiss with Lin Catcher, no other mischief! If, if you really can’t contain yourself, come find me..."

After finishing, she suppressed her embarrassment, turned around, and quickly walked away.

"..."

Chen Mo’s mouth twitched.

To be honest, he was feeling quite uncomfortable right now.

Initially, Shen Zhixia’s hemming and hawing already irked him a bit, then he caught Little Grapefruit... As a man who rises to every occasion, it truly was a bit of a headache...

Lin Jingzhu looked at his furrowed brow, and with concern, said, "Mr. Chen, are you alright? You don’t seem to be feeling well?"

Chen Mo sighed and said, "It’s nothing, just a bit overheated."

Lin Jingzhu said, "Overheated? I have Ruisnow Gold Tips at home, it’s an imperial tribute tea, and can cool down and alleviate heat. Would you like me to bring some over for you?"

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "Forget it, I’m not used to that kind of tea, I prefer Ming Xue Ice City’s Oolong Peach Lemon Tea."

Lin Jingzhu: ?

...

...

Seeing that it was almost noon, He Yuzhi intended to keep Lady Jin Yun for lunch at the residence, but was politely refused.

Lady Jin Yun was very aware that impatience leads to mistakes, and before things were thoroughly decided, it was best to keep a low profile to avoid inadvertently letting the Empress hear about it and interfere again...

After everyone from the Lin Residence had left, He Yuzhi wanted to settle the score with Chen Mo, only to find that the rascal had vanished long ago...

Heavenly Martial Arena.

Chen Mo dismounted, tied the reins tight, climbed the stone steps, and arrived before the main gate.

He took a token from his bosom and placed it against the embossed qilin mark. A flash of white light, and once reopened eyes, he was already inside the Heavenly Martial Arena.

On the stage of the Martial Arts Arena, numerous martial artists were sparring, the constant sounds of fists meeting flesh and hollering.

Chen Mo crossed the plaza, heading toward the pavilion.

He saw an old man in coarse linen and a hunched figure sweeping the ground at the door.

If not for hearing it firsthand from the Empress, he truly could not imagine that such an inconspicuous old man was actually a Grandmaster Realm powerhouse endorsed by the dynasty!

It’s known that Grandmaster is just a general term, encompassing the three grades of the Heavenly Human Realm.

Third Grade Dao Origin, Second Grade Heavenly Realm, First Grade Source.

And the gap between these three grades was as vast as between clouds and mud!

The Demon Clan that possessed Mu Yueyao that day should correspond to the Third Grade Dao Origin Realm, similarly, He Yuzhi was also Third Grade, but further advanced, already having one foot across the threshold into Second Grade.

Even just half a realm apart, she still defeated that Demon Clan into submission effortlessly!

This is an absolute disparity that no means can bridge!

As for Zhong Lihe...

Although the Empress didn’t explicitly say, Chen Mo could pretty much guess... Being able to swiftly wipe out the Gu God Sect within three days, at the very least, meant he was a Great Grandmaster at the Second Grade Heavenly Realm!

Chen Mo approached the old man and respectfully said, "Junior Chen Mo, greets Tributor Zhong."

Zhong Lihe didn’t even lift his head, saying indifferently, "Lift your foot."

Chen Mo stepped back two steps, Zhong Lihe waved his broom, sweeping away the dust on the last brick.

Then, leaning on the broom, he half-lifted his eyelids and asked, "You have some matter?"

Chen Mo took out a jade scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Zhong Lihe, "Eunuch Jin asked me to deliver this to you."

Zhong Lihe reached out and took it, "Golden Crow? Why didn’t he come himself?"

Chen Mo whispered, "Eunuch Jin said, you might not want to see him..."

"Heh..."

Zhong Lihe let out a cold laugh, "That dead eunuch, at least he has some self-awareness."

He held the jade scroll in his hand, slightly concentrating his spirit, as if probing something, moments later, a glint crossed his murky eyes, then he crushed the jade scroll into powder.

After glancing at Chen Mo, he pondered for a moment and said, "I cannot let you help without compensation, come with me."

Saying that, he turned and walked into the pavilion.

For some reason, Chen Mo felt that after Zhong Lihe read the jade scroll, his gaze seemed to subtly change when looking at him.

But couldn’t quite put his finger on it.
