I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 821 - 307: Che Guevara Ji! The Daoist Venerable Who Stole a Snack! (Part 3)

Jet-black long hair tied high, armor with flowing dark flame patterns gleaming in the sunlight, holding a long sword with a blade as fluid as water, radiating cold light.

Chu Yanli approached the military formation directly, the pressure dropping to the extreme, making breathing somewhat difficult.

At this moment, a clear voice shouted loudly, "How dare you! In the presence of Princess Xuanhuang, why haven’t you quickly paid your respects?"

Swish——

The soldiers kneeled down with a roar, saying in unison, "Greetings, Princess!"

A man with a lion crest on his shoulder quickly passed through the military formation, approached, and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, please stop!"

Chu Yanli halted her steps, scrutinizing him, and said, "Ji Jingyu?"

Ji Jingyu was stunned when he heard this, "The General still remembers this officer?"

Chu Yanli nodded, "Of course I remember, you used to be with Kuang Zheng, right? Back then you were a Deputy General, and now after several years, you’ve become the Commander of the Divine Strategy Army."

Ji Jingyu’s expression was pleasantly surprised.

Chu Yanli held an extremely high position in the army, being remembered by her was a tremendous honor!

"This humble officer never dared imagine the General still remembers my insignificant name, truly overwhelmed with favor!" In just a few moments, his address switched from "Your Highness" to "General," bringing them closer.

"Last time when I went to Nantu State on duty, I regrettably couldn’t see the General’s honorable appearance..."

"Alright, no need for pleasantries."

Chu Yanli interrupted him, "I want to go inside to chat with Wu Lie; have your men step aside."

"This..."

Ji Jingyu hesitated, whispering, "Under normal circumstances, that’s certainly fine, but the situation is unstable now, there’s a lockdown in the palace, without the Emperor’s decree, I dare not act recklessly."

Chu Yanli raised an eyebrow, "You want to block me?"

"Please forgive me, General!"

Ji Jingyu hurriedly knelt down on one knee.

Chu Yanli silently gazed at him, Ji Jingyu lowered his head, sweat rolling down his chin.

After a long time, she spoke, "Fine, after all, you are just fulfilling your duties. I won’t make it difficult for you, I won’t go in..."

"Thank you, General, for understanding..."

Ji Jingyu was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he caught a glimpse of dazzling golden light.

Chu Yanli suddenly soared into the air, the long sword in her hand emitting a glow of sword Qi, more dazzling than the blazing sun!

"Let’s just be forthright here."

The massive golden sword crossed the military formation, tearing through the void, and fiercely slashed towards Qianji Palace!

She intended to split the entire palace open!

A chill rushed from Ji Jingyu’s tailbone straight to the crown of his head. He knew the Princess was assertive, but he hadn’t expected her to be this audacious!

Everyone had no time to react, only able to watch as the sword Qi struck the golden top of the palace!

Boom——

The ground shook violently, the surging waves of air made it hard to stand, yet Qianji Palace remained as solid as a mountain.

A pitch-black Shadow Shield covered the palace, blocking the fierce sword Qi outside.

"Such a tough shell!"

Chu Yanli snorted coldly, unleashing Dragon Qi without concern for the cost.

The Shadow Shield screeched with sharp whining, like a ball being compressed by immense force, forming a deep depression, already on the verge of breaking!

Above the palace, a shadowy figure suddenly appeared, looking up at Chu Yanli, "Princess, are you rebelling?"

"Well, if you say so."

Chu Yanli sneered, "Just in time, I’ve disliked you for a long time; before meeting Wu Lie, I’ll start with you, the lackey!"

Sword Qi roared towards the shadowy figure!

The Shadow Man clenched his teeth, "Madwoman..."

Outside there was fierce fighting, yet inside Qianji Palace it was still silent as a pin drop.

A new little eunuch carrying a medicine box arrived beside the Dragon Bed, bowing his head, "Your Majesty, it’s time to take your medicine."

From the lowered curtain, a withered hand reached out, picked up the pill, a hoarse voice spoke, "Has the ritual ended?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it has ended. Heaven protects Great Yuan, the Crown Prince is safe and sound, being escorted by the capital garrison back to the city." The little eunuch said softly.

"I understand, you may go." The Emperor waved his hand.

"Yes." The little eunuch bowed and retreated.

The air quieted for a moment, followed by a long sigh.

Inside the Brocade Treasure Tent, Wu Lie leaned against the headboard, looking at the man locked in chains beside him, shaking his head, "I’ve told you long ago, your son is useless; everything has been paved, yet he continues to fail..."

"How could you, a Worthy Prince, give birth to such a useless son?"

"And that Duan Zhongmou, did you really think I wouldn’t know, he was your Dharma Body nurtured with painstaking efforts?"

"But by now, he should have perished alongside Chu Heng, right?"

"Now that things have reached this point, the mission is over, the Prince Yu Mansion no longer has any reason to exist."

The man’s cloudy eyes showed no sign of spirit, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"As for the shrine, although it failed, it suits my intentions. The ritual is complete, now it’s time to seize fortune."

"Heh... hehehe..."

A deep laugh echoed inside the hall.

Suddenly, a sound of gnawing that made one’s scalp tingle resounded, accompanied by suppressed, unclear low growls.

...

...

Tianlan Mountain.

In the sleeping chamber, two figures lay quietly on the bed.

After a while, Ji Hongxiu slowly woke up, her eyes showing a hint of confusion.

"Hiss... my head hurts..."

"What just happened?"

She only remembered Bai Xiu insisting on entering the Dao Domain despite the risk, and her persuasion was to no avail, then she was locked in the Little Black room, not knowing what happened afterward.

But now she felt quite well.

Even though the Divine Soul was very weak, and cultivation temporarily lost, her foundation seemed even more solid.

"What’s going on here?"

Ji Hongxiu held her chin, puzzled.

Was there a fortuitous encounter in the Dao Domain?

She glanced at Chen Mo beside her, suddenly froze, her eyes somewhat blank, a blush quietly creeping up her hot earlobes and onto her cheeks.

"Wha-what’s going on?"

Ji Hongxiu clutched her heart, an indescribable tingling spreading in her chest, "My heart is pounding... why do I have such strange feelings..."

Though she was a Yin God, bearing Obsession, Greed, and Lust within her Three Corpses, desires were naturally stronger than her physical form, yet she had never felt this kind of sensation.

The man before her made her extremely fascinated, wanting to meld herself completely into his body.

And this impulse was growing stronger, almost uncontrollable!

"Wait..."

"Why should I hold back?"

Ji Hongxiu realized, muttered as she held her chin, "Anyway, Bai Xiu hasn’t woken, Chen Mo is still unconscious, no one will know what I’ve done... why should I be restrained?"

With this thought, she stopped pretending, like a snake crawling onto Chen Mo, greedily enjoying the intimacy unique to the two of them.

After a moment, she sensed something.

"Hmm? Even unconscious, still so spirited?"

"How did Qingxuan manage it last time..."

Daoist Venerable lowered her body, first testing it, ensuring no "threat," then slowly leaned forward...

"Mmm..."
