I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 652 - 248: The Out-of-Control Yu Youhan! Empress, You’re So Sweet! _2

This female demon, who usually appears cold and domineering to outsiders, being bound by red silk, appeared as fragile and shy as a flower that understands language—a captivating sight that only he could witness.

"If it weren’t for the red silk, I might have been obliterated by the Empress upon our first meeting..."

Chen Mo’s gaze shifted downward, settling on Yu Youhan’s wrist.

A faint red line adorned her pale wrist, resembling a tied red string. Though unremarkable at first glance, it possessed an indescribable allure that held his gaze captive.

His attention was entirely drawn to the red string.

Chen Mo failed to notice the surrounding scenery gradually blurring, with countless black cracks spreading across the void like a spider web.

Soon after, it shattered abruptly.

"What is this..."

When Chen Mo regained his senses, he glanced around and froze in shock.

Just now, he was inside the Quiet Room, yet now he found himself amidst boundless chaos and void.

He attempted to take a step forward, but the environment remained unchanged, with no sense of direction or the passage of time.

"Where exactly am I?"

Chen Mo wandered aimlessly.

For an unknown amount of time—it could have been a quarter-hour or several decades—even his consciousness began to blur.

Just as he was about to lose himself in the vast expanse, a mysterious force in the void called out to him again.

Chen Mo mustered a modicum of spirit, guided by instinct, and pursued that stirring sensation.

In the pitch-black darkness, a glimmer of light emerged, like a beacon standing in the vast sea.

As he drew closer to the source of light, Chen Mo realized that its center was a half-transparent figure seated cross-legged.

It was Yu Youhan.

In front of her hovered a mass of azure material, constantly morphing every second.

Yu Youhan’s eyes slightly closed, a mysterious glow emanated from her brow, enveloping the azure mass, while luminous dust continually scattered out, seemingly peeling away the shell, revealing its inherent form bit by bit.

"Empress?"

Chen Mo murmured.

"Hmm?"

Yu Youhan seemed to hear his voice, lifted her eyes, her expression frozen with astonishment.

"Chen Mo?"

"How are you here?!"

Perhaps due to the emotional upheaval, the glow flickered unpredictably.

That azure mass also became agitated, subsequently splitting into a tendril, which shot towards Chen Mo!

Despite the distance, Chen Mo could feel the horrifying aura!

Where the tendril reached, chaos boiled like black tides!

"Be careful!"

Yu Youhan cried out in alarm.

She instantly flew across the void, reaching out towards the tendril.

However, an invisible barrier seemed to surround the tendril, barring her delicate hand from intercepting, leaving her to watch helplessly as it slipped through her fingers.

Before the tendril even touched Chen Mo, his body began to disintegrate, at this rate, it would soon dissolve completely!

"Is this the ’Returning Ruins’ path that the Empress practices?"

A thought flashed through his mind.

Boom—

Just as Chen Mo believed he would evaporate, a dull sound resonated from his body.

Purple and gold rays intertwined, shooting out from his Dantian, simultaneously, the light at his brow’s Spirit Platform blazed brilliantly, with seven stars appearing behind him, faintly resembling a dragon’s roar!

"This is... the Seven Dragon Constellations?"

Yu Youhan’s expression froze in surprise.

Under the influence of the Dragon Qi, the tendril became tame, splitting out a strand of azure dust that melded into the stars.

As if...

It was offering goodwill?

The starlight behind Chen Mo grew increasingly intense, akin to a galaxy pouring out, while purple and gold energies swirled around him, emitting an oppressive aura that was difficult to gaze upon directly!

Shua—

As the azure energy was absorbed, chaos retreated swiftly like the tide.

Chen Mo opened his eyes, somewhat dazed, finding himself still in the Quiet Room.

The surrounding scenery remained unchanged, his body was untouched, it was as if nothing had happened, as if everything just now was a mere illusion.

"How is this possible..."

Yu Youhan stared at him blankly, her face utterly incredulous.

Chen Mo asked in bewilderment, "Empress, what happened, why did I suddenly..."

Before he could finish speaking, his expression suddenly froze, as Yu Youhan rose, approached him, her delicate nose twitching as she sniffed him carefully, like a little dog.

"Indeed it’s the scent of Returning Ruins."

"It seems I underestimated the power of Dragon Qi, it’s capable of assimilating the essence of the Dao... although it’s just a breath, not substance, it’s impressive nonetheless."

Yu Youhan murmured to herself, breathing greedily.

Her cheeks were flushed with an unusual red, her sparkling eyes brimming with obsession.

Chen Mo’s throat felt parched, "Empress?"

Yu Youhan softly leaned against him, gently biting her lip as if restraining something, whispered, "It’s inconvenient here, take me back to my room first..."

?

Though Chen Mo didn’t understand what was happening, he realized the Empress’s state was unusual.

He gathered her in his arms and quickly left the Quiet Room, heading towards the inner hall.

Fortunately, Yu Youhan disliked being disturbed normally, and unless necessary, palace attendants wouldn’t enter Frozen Sky Palace at will, so no one was encountered on the way.

They arrived at the bedroom.

Chen Mo placed the Empress on the embroidered couch.

As he was about to rise, a delicate hand grabbed his arm, pulling him down onto the bed.

Before Chen Mo could react, Yu Youhan crawled onto him, her supple body slithering like a serpent, burying her face in his neck, inhaling deeply.

"What should I do, I really can’t hold back..."
