I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 814 - 304: The Empress’s Bold Confession! Chen Mo, I Miss You!

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "It’s just an aura. I once entered the Dao Domain by chance, which connected me with the Empress’s Spiritual Body... The aura was restless, and I had a bad feeling, so I wanted to communicate with the Empress this way..."

Ji Hongxiu’s throat moved slightly.

A Fourth-grade Cultivator not only entered the ’Taixu Xuan Realm’ but also refined the Returning Ruins Origin’s aura?

By chance?

What kind of opportunity is that...

"Daoist Venerable?"

Hearing Chen Mo’s call, Ji Hongxiu snapped back and frowned, "Since you’ve been there, you should know how dangerous it is. A slight mistake can get you lost in there..."

Chen Mo said, "I’m aware of it. I wouldn’t gamble with my life."

Seeing his determined attitude, Ji Hongxiu had no choice but to say, "Alright, then come with me."

The two of them went to the bedroom.

Ji Hongxiu pointed to the bed and said, "Lie down."

Chen Mo took off his shoes and obediently lay down on the bed.

Ji Hongxiu sat beside him, her fingers glowing, and pressed them to his forehead, "Close your eyes, empty your mind, and feel the fluctuation of my Soul Power... No matter the result, after Half a Stick of Incense, I will pull you out."

"Alright."

Chen Mo responded.

Immediately, a pure Soul Power infused into the Spirit Platform.

The Divine Soul trembled at a peculiar frequency, and a moment later, the surroundings went dark, plunging into endless chaos.

There was no up or down, left or right, and no sense of time passing, exactly like the last time.

Chen Mo dared not delay; following his previous experience, he activated Dragon Qi to cover his entire body to avoid being assimilated by the void.

Then he immersed his mind into the Returning Ruins, trying hard to sense the Empress’s location.

After three breaths, the Returning Ruins suddenly became active, and in the distant darkness, a hint of azure light appeared.

"Found it!"

Encased in Dragon Qi, Chen Mo flew towards the light source.

As the distance closed, he could finally see the scene within the light. Yu Youhan was drifting in the void, like a lone boat following the currents.

"Empress!"

"Are you okay?"

Chen Mo approached and asked anxiously.

Yu Youhan heard the voice, raised her eyes to glance at him, but her gaze was unfocused.

Her red lips moved slightly, murmuring, "Since all things have their end, what meaning does all I do hold?"

?

Chen Mo didn’t know what was going on, but he could roughly guess that the Empress’s Dao Heart was influenced by some force, falling into self-doubt.

At such a time, he must wake her up, or the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Of course it has!"

Chen Mo held her delicate hand, and said urgently, "Existence itself is the meaning. Why only care about the length of time?"

Yu Youhan shook her head and said, "It all turns to nothingness anyway, sooner or later..."

Reasoning wouldn’t work now, he needed to give her enough stimulation!

Chen Mo’s mind raced, recalling the cringey love lines he had seen in his past life, and loudly said:

"Even if that day comes, when dust returns to dust, earth to earth, the moons we watched together, the winds we felt together, the silly things we said, the tears we shed... are all etched in memory, never to be erased!"

"Living one more day is one more day spent together. Rather than lamenting the inevitable void, why not hold tight to the hand of this moment!"

"Live in the moment! Empress!"

Yu Youhan murmured, "Live in the moment?"

Seeing the "talking therapy" working, Chen Mo decided to add more fuel to the fire, cupping the Empress’s face, and kissed her directly!

"Mmm~"

Yu Youhan’s beautiful eyes widened, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her unfocused eyes shimmered with flickering light.

After a long time, their lips parted.

Chen Mo raised his head and asked, "Could even the feeling of this moment be false?"

Yu Youhan’s cheeks were flushed, she stammered, "I, I...

"I don’t just want to ’live’, I want to ’live with you’, whether it’s a hundred years, a thousand... it’s never enough!" Chen Mo gazed deeply into her eyes, "That is the meaning of my existence."

Yu Youhan was taken aback.

"Live with you..."

Buzz——

A wave of heat spread from her wrist, the red string glowed with radiant light.

However, unlike before, Yu Youhan did not panic, instead, she felt an overwhelming peace.

Seeing the Empress lower her head in silence for a long time, Chen Mo thought he hadn’t applied enough force, preparing to lean in for another taste when suddenly he heard her softly say:

"Chen Mo..."

"Hmm?"

Yu Youhan slowly lifted her head, her stunning face seemingly dyed with morning light, her eyes filled with starlit fragments, looking at him with a shy stubbornness.

"I missed you."

Chen Mo was a bit dazed; in front of him, the Empress rarely referred to herself as "I", it caught him off guard.

Once he came back to his senses, he hurriedly said, "I missed the Empress too, once we return to the palace, we can meet."

"Okay, I’m off to attend to some matters first."

"Busy... busy with what?"

"I haven’t finished handling things yet."

Yu Youhan gave a radiant smile, as vibrant as spring flowers, "First let’s get rid of those things obstructing us."

...

...

"I say, can you do it or not? If not, let me do it!"

"Wait... wait a little longer, his Divine Soul is still in the Dao Domain, we can’t afford any mistakes now."

"You’re just going to endure it? The Essence was already ignited, continue like this and it will damage the roots!"

In the bedroom, Ji Hongxiu muttered to herself, her chest heaving rapidly, sweat dripping down her chin incessantly.

In the Sea of Consciousness, Karmic Fire raged, the Divine Soul quivering from the burn.

Looking at the man lying quietly on the bed, she bit her lip hard, whimpering:

"I can’t... I’m about to lose control..."
