I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 767 - 287: Her Majesty the Consort Takes the Initiative! Wall-Facer Chen Mo! (Part 2)

Under the blessing of the warm spring water, the senses seemed to be magnified several times, becoming even more acute than usual.

Not only was he unable to bear it, but Yu Youhan was the same. Her creamy bosom heaved uncontrollably, and the moisture in her eyes was almost about to overflow.

The advantage of being in this pool was that it could conceal her vulnerability...

"Almost there."

Yu Youhan took a deep breath, determination flashing in her eyes, and her body slowly sank, immersing into the pool water.

"Em, Empress?!"

Chen Mo’s expression froze, somewhat incredulous.

...

...

An hour later.

Chen Mo carried the Imperial Consort who was tied like a dumpling and walked out of the bathroom.

"Why did you have to do that? You nearly choked on the water..."

"I wanted to!"

Yu Youhan gritted her teeth, suppressing her shyness, and said, "Clearly, you belong to me! Why does Jiang Yuchan get to take everything? For everything she takes, I will take twice as much; for everything she touches, I will touch twice as much!"

"Alright, alright, eat as much as you like, Empress." Chen Mo couldn’t help but laugh.

Even after all this time together, he still couldn’t grasp the Empress’s personality.

Sometimes she was decisive and ruthless, yet when throwing tantrums, she seemed like a playful and clingy little girl.

"There’s a question, I’m quite curious if I may ask." Chen Mo carried the Empress towards the inner hall, saying as he went.

"What question?"

"I’ve always wondered... how old is the Empress, exactly?"

Yu Youhan paused for a moment, then said, "I’m obviously older than you. Why are you asking this?"

"Oh, it’s just out of curiosity." Chen Mo shrugged, saying, "The Empress’s cultivation reaches the heavens and suppresses Jiu Zhou. To reach such a realm must take many years, I suppose?"

"It’s not necessarily so."

"As they say, understanding the Dao in a moment can lead to ascension in daylight. For me, breaking through happens in an instant. Only the mundane rely on time accumulation to enhance their cultivation..."

As she spoke, Yu Youhan suddenly realized, frowning, "Are you implying that I’m too old?!"

Chen Mo hurriedly said, "You misunderstand, Empress, I didn’t mean it like that..."

"Exactly! Let me down!"

"Calm down, Empress!"

Yu Youhan thrashed like a fish out of water.

Chen Mo had to work hard to get her back to the bed, pressing her onto the mattress.

"I just feel the Empress knows so much about cultivation but seems naïve in other aspects, so I asked out of curiosity..."

"Hmph!"

Yu Youhan wriggled, turning her head away, refusing to listen to his explanation.

Chen Mo shook his head helplessly and sat beside her, starting to look for the knots in the ropes.

As those large hands roamed across her supple figure, Yu Youhan shivered, her cheeks becoming flushed though she was faced away from him.

At this rate, it won’t be long before it happens again...

"Wait a moment." Her voice was trembling, "Let me rest for a bit first..."

"Yes."

Chen Mo paused, refraining from continuing to search.

Yu Youhan took a deep breath, her body shifting restlessly as lying like this felt uncomfortable, but having just thrown a tantrum, she felt too embarrassed to say anything.

Chen Mo saw this, silently climbed onto the bed, and leaned against the headboard.

He then lifted the Empress, letting her rest her head on his shoulder while wrapping an arm around her slender waist, becoming her human pillow.

Resting in that solid embrace, Yu Youhan’s eyes were moist, with a barely noticeable smile passing through them.

The hint of annoyance she felt earlier vanished like smoke.

The room was tranquil and tender.

A moment later, Yu Youhan softly said, "By the way, I haven’t asked you yet, how did you perceive that Returning Ruins aura?"

"It’s quite a coincidence..."

Chen Mo explained the method he figured out.

Hearing this, Yu Youhan’s expression brightened.

As she suspected, Dragon Qi could negate the "side effects" of the Origin!

If Chen Mo could use Dragon Qi to understand the Returning Ruins principles, it meant that she could also use it to break through barriers and truly grasp the Tao Origin in her hands!

This had been her pursuit all along!

"Initially, I was thinking of seizing power, killing Chu Yanli, obtaining the Heavenly Decree Seal, and using it as a medium to wield Dragon Qi..." Yu Youhan murmured, eyes sparkling, "But it seems that won’t be necessary now."

...

Chen Mo secretly shook his head.

Such thoughts were typical of Yu Youhan, always with a clear goal, preferring action over words.

But now, sometimes it required both words and action, and occasionally even a kick...

Ahem, got sidetracked.

"Overusing Dragon Qi also comes at a price; the Princess’s body has already been corroded, and the situation is quite severe." Chen Mo said puzzledly, "But strangely, despite having two Dragon Qis within me, I haven’t experienced anything unusual."

"People’s physiques vary and can’t be generalized."

Yu Youhan was thoughtful, musing, "Being able to become my Heart Demon suggests some uniqueness... Now I understand what Chu Yanli’s intention was, using you to suppress the Dragon Qi corrosion."

One Ji Hongxiu was troublesome enough, and now there’s Chu Yanli.

Plus, the Demon Lord in the Desolate Domain is eyeing us covetously...

A cold gleam passed through Yu Youhan’s eyes. Problems must be handled one at a time, starting with the biggest threat.

"It won’t be long now; the time is almost ripe." She said softly.

Chen Mo asked in confusion, "What time?"

"It’s nothing..."

Yu Youhan didn’t elaborate, then swiftly changed the subject, raising her eyebrows, "Wait, how do you know Chu Yanli’s body is corroded by Dragon Qi? Such a secret, she would never tell anyone."

Chen Mo hesitated for a moment, then said, somewhat awkwardly, "I saw it with my own eyes."

?

After listening to what happened in the Changning Pavilion, Yu Youhan’s face turned cold, but she didn’t get angry. Instead, she solemnly said, "You getting tangled with the Empress is something I can tolerate. In the end, she is just an ordinary person and poses no threat to you."
