I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 542 - 211: The White-Haired Girl’s Voluntary Devotion! Under the Master’s Gaze..._3

With the unique innocence of a young girl, yet an overly mature figure... This mixed feeling made Chen Mo momentarily lose his focus.

"Mr. Chen, please be gentle, I can’t catch my breath..." Ye Henshui said softly.

Chen Mo snapped back to reality, quickly released his right hand from the slender waist, and asked in confusion, "Little Hui, why did you come in?"

Normally, this girl would avoid him at all costs, so why did she come to him today?

"N-No reason..."

Ye Henshui’s face was flushed, and her delicate hand rested on Chen Mo’s back, gently pressing, with a slight tremble in her voice, "I’m here to serve Mr. Chen’s bath..."

?

Chen Mo was momentarily stunned, then placed a hand on her forehead, "You don’t have a fever, so why are you talking nonsense?"

Ye Henshui forced down her shyness and stammered, "Mr. Chen has saved my life, and as a girl, I have nothing to offer in return but myself. I hope you won’t despise me..."

That’s how it’s always written in the novels.

Usually, after saying this, the male lead and the female lead would ignite the passion...

However, Chen Mo was unmoved, pinching his chin with his fingers, scrutinizing her suspiciously, "Usually, you always call me a big bad guy, and now you’re saying you want to offer yourself to me?"

Ye Henshui’s expression turned slightly awkward and said, "Previously, I misunderstood you. Actually, you’re quite nice... Plus, I also want to take this opportunity to push the Green Jade Scripture to mastery..."

"Really?" Chen Mo raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure there’s nothing you’re hiding from me?"

"No..."

Ye Henshui’s gaze was evasive and avoided meeting his eyes.

Seeing that Chen Mo wasn’t taking any action, she became a bit anxious, hesitated slightly, and grabbed Chen Mo’s large hand, placing it on her chest.

"Mr. Chen, I... I’m serious!"

"..."

Feeling the cloud-like softness, Chen Mo’s throat moved slightly, just about to speak, when Gu Manzhi suddenly emerged from the water.

"Lord, we can begin... Huh? Junior sister?"

"What are you doing here?"

Earlier, she was a bit dizzy and didn’t notice there was another person in the bath.

Seeing their actions, her eyes immediately darkened, frowning, "What do you think you’re doing?"

Ye Henshui, instead of letting go upon hearing this, leaned into Chen Mo’s embrace and shook her head, "The Holy Daughter once promised me that when the time was right, I could dual cultivate with Mr. Chen. Now is a perfect opportunity."

"..."

Seeing through her intentions, Gu Manzhi frowned even more, "Are you sure? Some things, once they happen, there’s no turning back."

Ye Henshui said earnestly, "I’m sure, the Holy Daughter has taught me so much, it’s about time it was put to use!"

"Alright, I’ll help you."

Gu Manzhi nodded and said.

To prove that dual cultivation can advance cultivation techniques, Ye Henshui is indeed a better candidate.

Although her heart felt a little bitter, her master was observing in secret, now wasn’t the time to be sentimental, she needed to handle the current crisis first.

"Junior sister, I’ll help you, just come on up..."

Gu Manzhi started to manually adjust.

Ye Henshui lay in Chen Mo’s arms, her hands on his shoulders, her cheeks burning like fire, her body trembling uncontrollably.

"Mr. Chen, don’t look at me..."

"So, so embarrassing..."

?

Chen Mo’s mouth twitched slightly.

It seemed that no one had asked for his opinion this whole time...

His frustration and indignation boiled, feeling like he had no rights at all, did they really think of him as nothing more than a purple mood?

With Gu Manzhi’s actions, Ye Henshui seemed to realize something, her breathing became rapid, her whole body feeling weak, that strange feeling from before resurfaced.

"This time, I really must be poisoned..."

Yet just at this critical moment, a gentle voice echoed: "Alright, let’s end it here, this farce has gone on long enough."

Gu Manzhi and Ye Henshui’s expressions changed drastically.

Chen Mo was also surprised and turned his head to see a woman stepping out from the corner of the bathroom, draped in a black gauze red robe, her waist encased in a dark gold scale belt, walking gracefully, with her voluptuous figure highlighted perfectly.

"Ji Lianxing?!"

"Mr. Chen, since we parted in the Southern Border, it’s been a long time. How have you been lately?" Ji Lianxing walked towards him, her rosy lips curving upward.

Chen Mo’s mind was racing.

He didn’t expect to see her here; no wonder these two have been acting strange today...

"Sect Master Ji, you sure are bold to come to the Capital City. Aren’t you afraid of being discovered by the Empress?" Chen Mo said calmly, as a Jade Scroll silently slipped into his palm.

"I wouldn’t easily risk danger if I weren’t fully prepared for revenge," Ji Lianxing saw his subtle movements and shook her head, "I’ve already used an Array to shield the Primordial Qi fluctuations. The Communication Jade is useless. Don’t waste your effort."

Chen Mo sensed it and found it to be true.

His heart couldn’t help but sink.

It seems the other party is indeed well-prepared this time.

"Daring to seduce disciples of the Moon Brilliance Sect, and two at that..."

A cold gleam flashed in Ji Lianxing’s eyes, "You really are quite daring."

Gu Manzhi suddenly stood up, blocking in front of him, and said, "Master, all of this was my own choice, it has nothing to do with Chen Mo!"

Ji Lianxing sighed softly and said, "Men are generally the same everywhere, mostly not good. You’ve been at the Imperial Music Bureau for over two years; you should know this well."

Gu Manzhi, with a resolute expression, said, "It is because I’ve seen so many ugly faces that I understand how precious this feeling is!"

"You seem to be blinded by the affairs of men and women..."

Seeing Gu Manzhi’s ’incurable’ look, Ji Lianxing shook her head, saying no more, her gaze passed over her and looked toward Ye Henshui at the back.

"Shuishui."

"..."

Ye Henshui shivered.

"Master..."

Ji Lianxing squinted slightly and said, "How have I taught you? Repeat it for me."

Ye Henshui lowered her head and said, "Master said, men are poisonous, especially handsome ones, they are the most poisonous beings in this world, best to keep far away, otherwise one’s Dao Heart will be unstable, and it’s easy to lose one’s life..."

"And then? Have you kept my words in your heart?" Ji Lianxing gritted her teeth slightly, her tone was colder by several degrees, "If I hadn’t interrupted you just now, you might have committed that shameful act!"

Ye Henshui looked like a misbehaving student, keeping her head down and silent.

Orphaned young, drifting on the streets, she was picked up by Ji Lianxing and brought back to the sect, raised her, and taught her the method of cultivation... For this master who was both teacher and mother, she harbors immense awe and respect.

Ordinarily, she wouldn’t dare to question her master’s authority.

But now it’s like there’s a flame inside her heart, about to burn her up.

"Chen Mo is different from others..." Ye Henshui’s voice was as soft as a mosquito.

Ji Lianxing frowned, "What did you say?"

"I said..." Ye Henshui gathered her courage, looked up at Ji Lianxing, and said one word at a time, "Chen Mo is different from other men! Master... Master’s generalization is wrong!"

Ji Lianxing was stunned for a moment, doubting her hearing.

The usually most obedient and sensible little disciple actually questioned her?

"Chen Mo did not harbor resentment, not only saved the disciples and the Holy Daughter but also was kind to Master, why must Master persistently target him?"

"At first, using Gu on Chen Mo might have been forgivable, but now wanting his life again..."

"Master, this is really too unjust!"

Ye Henshui blurted out all her thoughts, clutching Chen Mo’s shoulder as if using all her strength.

"Fine, fine, fine!"

"Not disappointing the disciple I’ve poured my heart and soul into, challenging your master for a man, you’ve really grown wings!"

Ji Lianxing laughed instead of getting angry, looking at Chen Mo, a cold light flickering in her eyes, "To enchant my two disciples like this, it seems you do have some skill, but everyone must pay the price for their actions..."

Ye Henshui’s heart clenched upon hearing this.

No, Chen Mo can’t die...

She looked up, her eyes like pink agates, casting a complex emotion, eventually turning into determination.

"Master, don’t you want to see if Dual Cultivation can enhance the Cultivation Technique?"

"Fine, then I will prove it to you!"

With that, her body slowly descended—

Next, her dark eyebrows tightened, and pain flashed across her face.

"Hiss..."

Chen Mo: ???

Ji Lianxing: ???
