I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 763 - 286: Yu Youhan: If They Can Eat, Why Can’t I? (6K)_2

Chu Yanli frowned and said, "What does this have to do with you..."

Before the words were finished, the blue light surged like a tempest!

She didn’t have time to react as her five senses were instantly sealed, as if she had fallen into an endless abyss!

In that pitch-black void, two jade-like eyes hung, gazing down at her coldly, filling her heart with indescribable fear and dread.

"Yu Youhan!!"

Just as Chu Yanli was about to activate the Heavenly Decree Seal for a fight to the death, the darkness rapidly receded, and everything around returned to normal.

"Li’er, are you alright?" the Empress asked with concern.

Chu Yanli abruptly stood up; her back was already drenched with cold sweat.

Meanwhile, Yu Youhan remained seated, with a calm expression, having made no movements from beginning to end.

Just now, she had only made a slight probe to confirm one thing, which was that showing killing intent towards Chu Yanli would not trigger the red ribbon.

Therefore, there was no need for too much concern.

"You had better set aside those thoughts if you still dare to target Chen Mo, I will personally kill you." Yu Youhan’s voice was airy yet bone-chilling, "If you think that Seal will protect you, feel free to try."

"And you, Jiang Yuchan..."

Yu Youhan looked towards the Empress, her eyes darkening, "Last time’s affair isn’t over yet. I will settle the account with you sooner or later!"

After speaking, the void tore open, and she and Chen Mo’s figure vanished suddenly.

The air fell silent.

Chu Yanli stood dazedly in place, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

She was different from others, walking a path of "controlling energy with malice."

Although during this process, her body would gradually be corroded by Dragon Qi, it was precisely because of this that she could ignore the shackles of the world, not having to worry about any so-called consequences.

Theoretically, as long as the physical body could withstand it, the Realm had almost no ceiling, and she would eventually surpass all the Strongest!

This was also the reason she dared to challenge Wu Lie—

Rules were made for the weak; once individual martial strength reached a certain level, the so-called Imperial Power was nothing but a joke.

But the brief confrontation earlier had completely shattered her confidence.

If Yu Youhan had chosen to strike ruthlessly, there probably wouldn’t even be room to counter!

The Empress noticed that Chu Yanli seemed out of sorts and comforted her, saying, "For someone of your age to reach this level, you won’t find another like you in the entire world. As for that demoness... defying logic doesn’t make you any less. Perhaps in a few more years, you will surpass her."

Chu Yanli slowly sat down, dejectedly saying, "I know there is a gap, but I didn’t expect it to be so wide. What is Wu Lie thinking, agreeing to let her into the palace? It’s like inviting a wolf into the fold."

The Empress sneered, "Is there even a need to ask? It’s naturally to balance you and me."

Although the two of them were the Empress and the Princess, they had never obtained the Emperor’s trust.

Or rather, Wu Lie had never trusted anyone.

In his eyes, everything in the world had a price tag, and everything was just an exchange of benefits.

Including blood kin.

"Ha, it’s a decent idea, but I fear eventually, it will all backfire, possibly even burying the entire Great Yuan Empire!"

Chu Yanli said quietly, "Yu Youhan has been biding her time, seemingly thwarted at every turn, only because she seeks something. But if she loses hope of seizing power and truly flips the table, who in this palace can stand against her?"

"The Heavenly Shadow Guards?"

"Or the Emperor, who is merely hanging by a thread?"

Seeing her worried demeanor, the Empress remained indifferent.

Yu Youhan was not an undefeatable existence; she had personally witnessed that demoness being tied with a red rope, held down by Chen Mo, unable to fight back...

Even though it’s unclear why that happened, one thing was certain—

Chen Mo had the ability to restrain Yu Youhan!

"It seems I was smart to bet on the right horse; the future of Great Yuan truly hinges on him!" the Empress thought happily, knowing she was truly perceptive.

Chu Yanli saw this and asked in confusion, "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing."

The Empress felt this matter couldn’t be disclosed to her for now.

Li’er already had an entanglement with Chen Mo, and if she found out the little thief also had this capability, it might become impossible to untangle.

"By the way, I wanted to ask you. The Empress raised her eyebrows and said, "I told you to keep your distance from Chen Mo, so why did you bring him to the sleeping quarters again? You didn’t do anything inappropriate, did you?"

Faced with the Empress’s questioning, Chu Yanli’s eyes showed a hint of panic, and there was a faint blush on her cheeks.

"Ahem, no, we were just having a chat..."

"Really?"

"Absolutely."

"Alright, I’ll believe you this time, but I warn you, if you dare mess around again, I won’t let it slide!"

"Don’t just talk about me. Before Yu Youhan came, what were you and Chen Mo doing? You even took him onto the Royal Palanquin..."

"...How’s that your concern!"

"?"

...

...

Frozen Sky Palace.

Xu Qingyi paced anxiously inside the hall.

She didn’t know if telling the Empress about this was right or wrong.

But given the Empress’s attitude toward Chen Mo, she probably wouldn’t want to punish him, at most giving him a few scoldings, which was preferable to being punished by the Empress...

"It’s been such a long time; they should be back by now, right?"

"Could something have gone wrong..."

Just as she was lost in wild thoughts, the void split open and two figures appeared out of thin air.

As soon as they landed, Yu Youhan’s cold voice rang out, "Go to the side hall and reflect on your actions. Do not leave without my permission!"

"..."

Chen Mo drooped his head and walked towards the side hall.

"Empress..."

Xu Qingyi’s lips moved, but Yu Youhan didn’t give her the chance to speak, waving her hand, "You may leave too. I wish to be alone for a while."
