I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 766 - 287: Her Majesty the Consort Strikes First! Wall-Facer Chen Mo!

?

Chen Mo was momentarily stunned.

So the Empress had seen through it all along?!

Seeing his astonished expression, Yu Youhan’s face grew even more resentful.

With her perceptiveness, how could she not distinguish between rice milk and rice harvester?

She merely chose not to expose it.

Chen Mo’s throat moved, and he said hoarsely, "Since that’s the case, why didn’t you say anything?"

By rights, with the Empress’s character, not turning the harem upside down would already be commendable, and yet she managed to endure silently until now?

"What do you want me to say?" Yu Youhan snorted coldly, "She’s already eaten it, am I supposed to make her spit it out?"

"..."

Chen Mo had no words to reply.

"Besides, as soon as I harbor murderous intent towards the Empress, that red ribbon appears to cause trouble." Yu Youhan crossed her arms, annoyed, "What if I end up bound in front of her like last time?"

"And you, this dog-like lackey, are so biased, you’d definitely side with her, ganging up to bully me..."

Chen Mo twitched his lips and defended, "I even hit the Empress that night..."

Hearing this, Yu Youhan became angrier, "And you have the nerve to say it! You dared to touch her butt, I haven’t even settled that with you yet!"

Great.

It seems hitting or not hitting was wrong either way.

Chen Mo silently lowered his head, saying no more.

In fact, Yu Youhan had long been aware of their relationship.

Back when Chen Mo was in trouble, the Empress ran barefoot to the Frozen Sky Palace for help, and that panic was not something that could be feigned.

From that moment, she sensed something was amiss.

The so-called "appreciation for talent" was nonsense; there were many capable ministers in the court, yet none were as close to the Empress, often staying overnight at Yangxin Palace, even allowing such improprieties... she refused to believe there wasn’t something fishy between them.

She just didn’t expect it had progressed to this degree!

Yet being restrained by the red ribbon, she had no way to deal with the Empress, so she could only vent her anger on Chu Yanli.

"Do you remember what promise you made to me?" Yu Youhan asked with a stern face.

Chen Mo nodded, "Of course I remember, I said if you and the Empress ever fall out completely, I would always be on your side."

Yu Youhan narrowed her eyes slightly, "Can you do that?"

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, no matter when, I will always support you with all I have!" Chen Mo pledged confidently.

He had come to understand.

After all, with the red ribbon, the Empress couldn’t harm the Empress, at worst it would just be a spanking.

When he breaks through to First Grade and can penetrate the tempered membrane, he can help the Empress increase her cultivation with Dragon Qi, and the conflict between them would naturally be resolved.

"As the saying goes, cure all maladies, the little bird heals people..."

Chen Mo looked down, sighing inwardly, "All of this has to start from the beginning!"

"Hmph, at least you have some conscience." Yu Youhan’s expression softened a bit and she murmured, "I have given you my all, dare to betray me, and I’ll..."

She wanted to say, "tear you apart," but fearing it would trigger the red ribbon, she swallowed the words back and hummed lightly, "I’ll never give you foot massages again!"

That’s quite serious.

Looking at the toes appearing even more translucent under the black silk, Chen Mo replied earnestly, "Rest assured, Your Majesty, I’ve always found contentment in simplicity, just being by your side is enough."

"I don’t believe you, do you say this to every girl?"

Yu Youhan spoke, yet her tone softened a bit.

The scent emanating from him was irresistible to her.

"I originally didn’t want to bother with him, I’m truly useless..."

"Oh well..."

Yu Youhan bit her lip, her foot sliding up along Chen Mo’s inner thigh, causing the already short skirt to lift, vaguely revealing the lace-edged black fabric.

Seeing Chen Mo flushed and breathing heavily, the corners of her mouth curled into a smile.

After so much time testing, she roughly understood the rules of the red ribbon’s appearance.

Besides "murderous intent," "romantic engagement" could also be a trigger, so it was important to maintain the balance between reason and temptation, not allowing herself to fully succumb.

"I also want to see how far I can go without getting bound."

This was important to her, otherwise she would continuously lose face in front of the Daoist Venerable and the Empress...

Yu Youhan hooked her toe into Chen Mo’s collar, revealing his strong, masculine body, with smooth, defined abs and clear, chiseled waist lines.

Further down...

"He was still wilting just now, so fierce now?" Yu Youhan muttered softly, "Seems like this outfit is quite effective."

"Your Majesty..."

Just as Chen Mo was about to speak, his voice halted, distracted by the delicate and smooth arch of her foot.

Suddenly, Yu Youhan seemed to remember something, frowning, "Wait, I almost forgot, Jiang Yuchan touched it, I don’t want to use something she used...

Her mind shifted, the surrounding scene abruptly changed, transporting them from the Quiet Room to the bathhouse.

Splash—

Chen Mo fell into the pool from mid-air.

He was then lifted by an invisible force, his head emerging above the water, and when he looked up, he was stunned.

Through the misty air, he saw a graceful figure standing before him, Yu Youhan’s body also soaked, with the thin white shirt clinging tightly to her, almost translucent, outlining her alluring and enchanting curves.

Sometimes, being clothed was more enticing than being naked.

Yu Youhan’s clear, blue eyes gazed at him, her porcelain-white cheeks tinged with a faint blush.

"Let’s get clean first..."

"..."

Chen Mo’s body trembled slightly.
