I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 737 - 277: Saintess Gu: I Will Help Lord Win Over Master! The Second Form of the White-Haired Girl! (2)

The women of the Xu Family stared at him in disbelief.

"Mr. Chen, are you... are you serious? Can you really take us away from here?" Liu Miaozhi’s voice trembled slightly.

"It’s written in black and white; why would I deceive you?"

Chen Mo took out an official document and handed it to Liu Miaozhi.

Seeing the clear official document with the Ministry of Rites’ seal at the bottom, she finally realized that everything was true.

Since the Xu Family’s incident, they had been relegated to the Imperial Music Bureau, and it had been a full six years.

The hardships they had endured were known only to them. Without Chen Mo, they would have perished in a dark alley, just like the other female workers, drained of their last value and becoming the sustenance for this Gold Cave.

They had already been quite content with their current lives; who would have thought they could leave here in their lifetime?

This was something they didn’t even dare to dream of!

"But not right now; at least wait until the situation stabilizes a bit." Chen Mo paused, pondering, "Probably after the Longevity Festival. Once I finish my current tasks, I can start preparing for this."

"No rush, we can wait!"

"Whether it’s one or two months, even five or ten years, we can wait!"

Liu Miaozhi’s eyes reddened as she bowed deeply, saying, "Mr. Chen, your benevolence is like creating me anew. Even if I were to be a beast of burden for the rest of my life, it would be hard to repay!"

"Thank you, Mr. Chen!"

Xu Ling’er and the others also knelt down one after another, their foreheads hitting the ground hard, tears rolling down their cheeks.

"We are on the same side; no need to be so formal."

Chen Mo raised his hand, a gentle breeze lifting them up.

Yu’er nestled in his arms, looking up at his handsome face, her eyes full of deep affection.

In fact, helping the Xu Family brought no benefit to Chen Mo; it might even cause him trouble, but he did it for one reason only, and that was for her...

"Meeting the Master might be the luckiest thing in my life, right?" Yu’er found herself a little obsessed.

After adjusting their emotions, the women of the Xu Family thanked him again and left the room joyfully.

Liu Miaozhi stayed behind, hesitating for a moment, and then softly said, "Mr. Chen, if you have time later, could you come and find me? I have something I’d like to discuss with you."

"Alright."

Chen Mo nodded.

He only thought she wanted to express her gratitude and didn’t think much of it.

Once the women left, the atmosphere quieted down.

Chen Mo sat on a chair by the window, with Yu’er clinging to him like a plaster, unwilling to let go.

Gu Manzhi swayed over, speaking softly, "The Lord should be quite busy lately, right? How do you have time to come over?"

Chen Mo smiled and said, "No matter how busy, I should come back home frequently."

Gu Manzhi wrinkled her cute nose and said coquettishly, "Coming home? It’s good enough you haven’t forgotten me..."

Though she complained with her mouth, her body was honest, melting into his embrace like gentle silk, sitting on his lap with Yu’er on one side each.

"By the way, where’s your master? Why haven’t I seen her?" Chen Mo asked.

Gu Manzhi shook her head, "She sensed you coming and left ahead of time."

Chen Mo snorted coldly.

Seems like she’s guilty, huh?

Gu Manzhi blinked, leaning to his ear, and softly said, "Lord, why don’t you also take in Master?"

?

Chen Mo almost doubted his ears, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I’m not talking nonsense; I’ve seriously considered it." Gu Manzhi said earnestly, "Master has great kindness in raising and teaching me, and the Lord is my beloved. No matter whom I part with, it would be hard to accept..."

"Rather than this, wouldn’t it be better if, like Hensui, we all became sisters, solving the matter perfectly?"

Solve... what a joke!

Chen Mo’s mouth twitched.

Ji Lianxing and the Empress are arch-enemies; trying that would be suicidal!

Besides, that vile woman doesn’t have good intentions, and she’s even more misandrist than Ji Hongxiu; what if she uses a Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect on him?

"I know what the Lord is worried about, I’ve thought about it too." Gu Manzhi’s peach blossom eyes blinked, her voice serene, "The Azure Darkness Seal is still with you, isn’t it? This is the leverage for negotiation. When Master finds a First-Grade Golden Contract and prepares to sign a pact with you, you can add some clauses."

"For example, she can’t harm you in any form, and she must willingly engage in Dual Cultivation with you..."

Noticing Chen Mo’s shocked expression, Gu Manzhi felt a bit awkward and waved her hand, "I’m just giving an example; it doesn’t have to be this straightforward."

"But Master has an overwhelming desire for revenge and to rebuild the Sect; it’s become an obsession, which can definitely be used."

"At first, Master might resist, but in my experience, with patience and guidance, she’ll gradually become unable to extricate herself and eventually fall completely..."

"..."

Chen Mo rubbed his temples.

Goodness, now you’re talking about teaching, really treating your Master like a Barbarian Slave!

"What is your head filled with? This is too outrageous!"

Gu Manzhi’s cheeks flushed, and she whispered, "Lord, don’t think I have a dirty mind either; it’s impossible for Master to let go of her hatred. This is the only way I can think of for peaceful coexistence..."

"You’ve thought well; just don’t think about it next time." Chen Mo shook his head.

It’s not that he’s pretending to be noble; he truly has no interest in Ji Lianxing.

As for signing a contract...

While having a Grandmaster-level ally sounds nice, it’s clear that she wouldn’t agree to such outrageous terms. Better to abandon this idea early...
