I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 764 - 286: Yu Youhan: If They Can Eat, Why Can’t I? (6K)

"Yes."

She had no choice but to respond and withdraw.

Only Yu Youhan remained in the hall, leaning on the Consort’s Seat, a hint of resentment in her sharp phoenix eyes.

"That dog-like lackey, really never gives me peace..."

...

...

"In the end, I really lost control!"

In the Quiet Room, Chen Mo sat on the futon and sighed helplessly.

It seems the Empress is truly angry this time; could it be she found out about what happened last night?

If facing the wall is what’s needed, then so be it. After all, the Government has everything arranged, so he doesn’t need to worry. It’s good to have some peace here... of course, it would be even better if Director Xu could come and keep him company.

Thinking of her secretively grinding ink behind Lin Jingzhu early this morning, his heart couldn’t help but race a bit.

Xu Qingyi not only had a thin skin but was more introverted, and if they weren’t secretly competing, it would be hard to see this side of her.

"Competition among women is great; they should compete!"

"Who said this is a Chaotic Scene, it’s simply an amusement park!"

Chen Mo’s mouth curved into a clear arc.

But such matters depend on the people involved, one cannot generalize.

If it were the Empress and the Imperial Consort, then it truly would be hell mode.

"Ultimately, it’s because my strength is insufficient, and breaking through the Heavenly Person realm is urgent!"

Taking advantage of the current free time, Chen Mo straightforwardly sat cross-legged, and his mind sank into the Sea of Consciousness.

In the Spirit Platform, the Golden Body was suspended in the air, with starlight shining brilliantly behind it. The Seven Dragon Constellations had been fully illuminated, threads of azure light circulating among them, looking vast as the Milky Way.

It was precisely the aura from the Returning Ruins obtained last time in the Dao Domain.

There seemed to be something attracting it in the star sign, ever since it entered his body, it had been hovering there, unwilling to leave.

Even though this aura had been refined by Chen Mo, it was utterly uncontrollable.

The gap between the two was simply too large, even if it bore no "ill-will," the power from the Origin would assimilate everything.

As long as Divine Sense touches it slightly, it might be obliterated, becoming part of the "Ruins."

"So-called Third Grade Unity is about merging the Divine Soul with the Great Dao."

"This returning aura comes from the Tao Origin; even a slight insight would be greatly beneficial for Unity."

"But if I can’t even touch it, how can I comprehend it..."

Chen Mo mused deeply.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck in his mind, recalling something Ji Hongxiu had once said.

Since Dragon Qi can eliminate the "cost" of the Heavenly Dao, does it mean it’s possible to use its power to get closer to the Origin?

With this thought, Chen Mo found it hard to sit still and decided to give it a try first.

To be cautious, he first activated the Supreme Heart-Cleansing Mantra, hiding a trace of his Divine Soul in the Golden Body to protect the core, and then drew Dragon Qi, introducing the purple-gold aura into the Sea of Consciousness.

After such a long period of "adaptation," Chen Mo’s control over Dragon Qi had greatly improved, almost to the point of moving it as easily as an arm.

Under his command, the purple-gold aura continuously changed shape, finally transforming into a hollow sphere, hovering above the Spirit Platform as if wrapping Soul Power within like an eggshell.

"This should be safer, shouldn’t it?"

Chen Mo’s mind slightly moved, and the purple-gold sphere slowly flew towards that endless Milky Way.

As the two gradually approached, his nerves tautened, all attention focused, ready to withdraw Soul Power immediately should anything go wrong.

Shhh—

The boundary between the sphere and the azure light gradually intersected.

There was no earth-shattering scene as expected, like a river flowing into the sea, calm and without ripples, the three-color light intertwined together, seemingly sharing the same root and origin, very harmonious.

"It works after all!"

Chen Mo suppressed his excitement and began to try grasping the mysterious Daoist Charm within.

Under the influence of Dragon Qi, the azure light became gentle, but its essence remained unchanged, still exuding an aura of annihilation.

At the moment when the Divine Soul was illuminated by the light, incomparably complex and vast information flooded his mind.

At that moment, he seemed to witness the end of all things.

"All beings come to rest, the realms conclude in the Ruins."

"The Returning Ruins is not mere destruction, but the closed loop of the laws of heaven and earth, the ultimate destination of all existence..."

"Order in disorder, rebirth after destruction, this is ’Ruins,’ what I can do is accelerate this process, which is ’Returning’..."

Cheng Mo was enveloped in azure light, yet he was oblivious, thoroughly immersed in the mysterious comprehension.

...

...

The sky grew dim, palace lanterns were hung high.

In the inner hall, Yu Youhan leaned lazily on the Consort’s Seat, holding in her hand the work "Silver Bottle Plum" by the Whip Hero.

She had read the first ten Chapters several times already; her attention wasn’t on it at all, her gaze slightly unfocused, unconsciously flipping through the pages.

"He can really sit still, not even the slightest movement until now."

"He said he was in confinement, so he’s really not coming out? How come he never acted this well-behaved before..."

"Doesn’t even know how to sweet-talk me..."

Yu Youhan muttered softly.

Although Xu Qingyi hadn’t detailed what happened last night, she could guess with her toes that, given Chen Mo’s personality, it’s a miracle if he slept soundly!

So she didn’t even bother to ask, not wanting more troubles for herself.

"But since Qingyi’s virginity is still intact, it’s not too excessive, otherwise, I wouldn’t even pay him any mind!"

"In the current situation, I’ll let him simmer for a couple of days first."

"Hmm, two days is a bit long, maybe just one day then..."

As Yu Youhan was talking to herself, she suddenly sensed something, sharply looking towards the direction of the side hall.

This is...?

The Returning Ruins?

What is Chen Mo doing?!

With his realm, recklessly touching the Origin, even slightly, would instantly get assimilated!
