I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 621 - 237: The Daoist Venerable’s Gift! Mysterious Key!_4

Ever since the two signed the marriage contract with the Creation Gold Contract, Shen Zhixia became bolder and more passionate, never hesitating to express her longing and love.

"I just got back too, and was about to come find you." Chen Mo reached out and brushed Shen Zhixia’s upturned nose.

"Hmph, I don’t believe you." Shen Zhixia pouted, saying, "I heard from Auntie that actually your case was finished long ago, but you’ve stayed in the palace all along... It seems you’ve almost forgotten about me."

"I might forget anyone, but never my Chong’er."

Chen Mo wrapped his arms around the slender and firm waist, and lightly pecked on the rosy lips.

"Annoying, Daoist is still watching..."

Shen Zhixia’s face was flushed, though she said so, her body was already completely softened.

Chen Mo looked up and saw Ling Ningzhi in a Moon White Daoist Robe standing outside the door, her expression somewhat complicated, hesitating and not coming in.

"Zhi’er..."

Chen Mo could roughly guess what she was thinking.

He reached out with a gesture, gentle Primordial Qi flowed out of his body, transforming into an invisible hand to pull her over, seating her next to Shen Zhixia on his lap.

"Mr. Chen, I..."

Ling Ningzhi bit her lip, hesitating to speak.

"I know what you’re worried about, don’t worry, my relationship with your master is simply a... er, bed friend relationship, nothing else." Chen Mo whispered through voice transmission.

Ling Ningzhi shook her head, speaking softly, "I can feel that Master has changed a bit."

In the past, when Ji Hongxiu talked about men, especially Chen Mo, her expression was always undisguisedly filled with disgust.

But this time it was obviously different, Ling Ningzhi could detect a trace of hesitation and guilt from the other’s eyes... making her inexplicably uneasy.

Could it really become a three-person relationship, with Master among them?

Chen Mo laughed, saying, "You’re overthinking... the Empress also said that Daoist Venerable entered into Dao through Forget Love. If she really had feelings for me, I’m afraid her cultivation wouldn’t be capable to sustain."

"That’s logical, but I still feel something’s off." Ling Ningzhi hesitated for a moment, asked, "If, I mean just if, Master truly has feelings for you... what would you do?"

"What would I do?"

Chen Mo touched his chin, contemplating, "With Daoist Venerable’s cultivation, if she used force, I’d be powerless to resist, having no choice but to enjoy... I mean endure."

Seeing Ling Ningzhi’s expression slightly change, he cleared his throat, saying, "Just kidding, not to mention whether Daoist Venerable could even do such a thing given her personality... with the Empress around, she might have the intention but not the courage, if discovered, wouldn’t she have her head twisted off?"

"..."

Though exaggerated, it was indeed a fact.

Ling Ningzhi felt slightly reassured, leaning her forehead against Chen Mo’s shoulder, softly saying, "Mr. Chen, do you think I’m being too petty?"

"Of course not." Chen Mo gently stroked her hair, smiling, "I find it quite comforting that Zhi’er is being so anxious just because she likes me."

Ling Ningzhi’s cheeks blushed slightly, her black and white eyes glaring at him, playfully saying, "Good to know, at least you have some conscience... if it were other girls, that’s another story, after all, I came later and can’t say much..."

"But when it comes to Master, it’s indeed a bit hard to swallow."

If Ji Hongxiu really had that kind of relationship with Chen Mo, wouldn’t he become her Master-grandfather?

Thinking of this always made her blush and her heart race.

Absolutely ridiculous!

The entire conversation was transmittable in whispers, Shen Zhixia didn’t hear a single word, her cheeks poutily puffed up, "Annoying, talking secrets right in front of me..."

Her eyes darted around as she slowly crouched down.

?!

Chen Mo’s expression froze.

"Zhi, Zhixia?!"
