I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 770 - 288: The More Yu Youhan Objects, the More It Proves I’m Right! (Part 2)

He Yuzhi’s mind was in turmoil.

Although the reason was unclear, one thing was certain: Chen Mo had some sort of quality that attracts them.

Coupled with the previous incidents, it was hard not to let one’s imagination run wild...

Chen Zhuo sighed and said, "You’d better wait until that rebel son comes back and ask him yourself... I’m worried now that if he doesn’t restrain himself a bit, we might end up like the Zhou Family one day!"

The Emperor is sick, not dead!

Now the walls of the harem are almost being dug through. If we have to investigate, this is no lighter than rebellion!

"I just hope the boy behaves himself and doesn’t provoke other girls anymore..."

Knock knock knock—

Chen Zhuo hadn’t finished speaking when there was a sudden knock on the door.

Chen Fu’s voice came from outside, "Master, Madam, there’s a guest visiting."

Chen Zhuo wondered, "Who would come at this critical moment?"

"She claims to be the daughter of Master Lv, here for the young master," Chen Fu replied.

"..."

Chen Zhuo and He Yuzhi exchanged a glance, their expressions stiffening.

Master Lv?!

...

...

Lu Shuangge had just entered the courtyard when she saw two figures exiting the hall.

"So it’s Miss Lv, sorry for not welcoming you sooner."

The man in fine clothes at the front spoke out.

Though they had never met, his demeanor made it easy to guess his identity.

Lu Shuangge bowed and greeted, "I greet Mr. Chen and Lady Chen. I hope you two won’t mind my abrupt visit."

Years of military experience had given her a refreshing vigor, unlike the gentleness of typical noble daughters.

"No need to say that." Chen Zhuo waved his hand and said kindly, "Miss Lv, a woman among men, accompanies Princess Xuanhuang to guard the borders, deterring the Barbarian Slaves. I have great admiration for you!"

"Mr. Chen overpraises." Lu Shuangge nodded.

"Let’s not stand here talking. Come in for a cup of warm tea and chat slowly," He Yuzhi said with a gentle smile.

"No need for trouble. I’ve come only to deliver something today. Is Young Master Chen at home?" Lu Shuangge asked directly.

Chen Zhuo cleared his throat and said, "It’s truly unfortunate; my son is in the palace and hasn’t returned home yet."

"Still in the palace?"

Lu Shuangge slightly frowned, "Do you know when he’ll be back, sir?"

Chen Zhuo stroked his beard and said, "This old man doesn’t know. As a guard leader in the palace, it’s normal for him to take night shifts for a few days... Miss Lv, what do you want to deliver? How about letting me pass it on for you?"

Lu Shuangge shook her head and said, "No need to trouble Mr. Chen, I must hand it to him personally. Since he’s not here, I’ll head back for now."

"Alright, take care, Miss Lv..."

Seeing she didn’t insist on staying, the two silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as they were about to see her off, the sound of the wind suddenly came from above.

All three looked up to see a shadow growing larger, like a meteor arching through the sky, falling towards the courtyard.

In that instant, it was upon them.

Boom!

The ground shook, raising a large cloud of dust.

"Cough cough!"

Chen Mo pressed his hands against the ground, struggling to pull his head out, leaving a circular pit on the paving, and stood up, patting his clothes while muttering, "Eating your fill and not recognizing people, huh? When I break through First Grade, I’ll make sure the Empress knows what a Wall Breaker is..."

Looking around, he found everyone staring at him in shock, and he couldn’t help but freeze slightly.

"Dad, Mom..."

"Hm? Miss Lv is here too?"

He had a slight impression of this girl.

Always following closely behind the Princess, holding a long sword, silent and low in presence.

He thought she was merely a sword attendant, until that day at Prince Yu Mansion, she suddenly invited him to visit the Lv Family; only then did he realize she was Master Lv’s daughter...

"Young Master Chen, we meet again. You always have quite the unique entrance." Looking at his dirty appearance, Lu Shuangge’s lips twitched.

"Flew too high, didn’t keep my balance." Chen Mo chuckled, casually responding.

Tiandu City is arrayed, forbidding flying above.

Clearly, some strong force had torn through the space, and directly sent him into the sky.

But Lu Shuangge didn’t expose this, pulling out a wooden box from her robe and handing it to him, "Just in time for you to take this."

"This is..."

Chen Mo hesitated, not immediately taking it.

Lu Shuangge explained, "Young Master Chen need not worry, it’s merely a magic artifact. Recently, the Capital City hasn’t been peaceful, and you’re at the center of contention. No one can ensure what might happen, so I prepared this for your safety."

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow, "The Princess sent you?"

Lu Shuangge denied, "It has nothing to do with Her Highness. I...I’m worried about your safety."

?

Chen Mo was even more confused.

They’ve barely spoken, why suddenly show goodwill?

Lu Shuangge also awkwardly curled her toes, but to complete the Princess’s task, she continued resolutely, "Hope Mr. Chen will take good care. If you face insurmountable trouble, feel free to find me at Lv Mansion."

Saying that, she stuffed the wooden box into Chen Mo’s hands, turning to flee.

This embarrassed look, from an outsider’s view, was entirely like a girl’s shy affection.

Chen Mo hadn’t come to his senses when a delicate hand grabbed his ear, twisting it around several times clockwise.

"Ah, painful, painful..."

"You do feel pain?!"

He Yuzhi gritted her teeth, scolding, "I told you to settle down and stop chasing skirts, didn’t I? Are you deaf? The Princess’s matter hasn’t been settled with you, now even the Grandmaster’s daughter isn’t spared? I think you’re asking for it!"
