I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 823 - 308: Daoist Venerable’s Defenses Shattered! Chen Mo Steps into the Dao Again! (Part 2)

The chest felt tight, heart racing, Qi-blood surging uncontrollably, and consciousness was somewhat muddled...

Looking at this woman whom he had once avoided at all costs, an irresistible urge unexpectedly surged within his heart.

These were clearly symptoms of poisoning!

Ji Hongxiu wasn’t feeling too great either at this moment, gritting her teeth she said, "I even suspected you drugged me! Bai Xiu was insistent on entering the Dao Domain to rescue you when he saw you not waking up, and sealed me up. After waking up, I found things didn’t seem quite right... What exactly happened between you two?"

?

Chen Mo furrowed his brows, trying to recall.

After entering the Dao Domain, he first awakened the Empress’ consciousness, then encountered the two Origins of tribulation and the Returning Ruins, getting caught in a situation "of water and fire", and completely losing consciousness.

Unexpectedly, Daoist Venerable had followed in as well?

She was in the middle of a Dao Pattern outbreak, she should have avoided Heavenly Dao’s perception; the risk of entering the Dao Domain recklessly was self-evident...

Was the risk taken to save him?

Could it be because of this, some subtle connection was forged between the two?

"How is she now?" Chen Mo asked.

"I don’t know." Ji Hongxiu mumbled while covering her burning face, "Anyway, I don’t feel too good right now..."

Because they were so close, she could clearly feel the other’s body heat, and the indescribable throbbing, making it even harder to suppress the already surging emotions inside.

It wasn’t merely pure desire, more of an obsession.

Is this what Qingxuan referred to as the feeling of "falling for someone"?

"What exactly is going on?"

"Maybe... we should wait for Bai Xiu to wake up and ask her..."

Though they shared the same body, "Ji Baixiu," who is the main body, still held the dominant position.

It was one thing to sneak here and there usually, but she didn’t dare to act recklessly before everything was clear.

"Wait a minute..."

Ji Hongxiu was about to push Chen Mo away when a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.

As her cultivation gradually improved, the outbreak of "costs" became more frequent, and it’s conceivable the situation would only get more dangerous.

Without the suppression of Dragon Qi, the final outcome would be like Ling Yishan, utterly crushed by the will of Heavenly Dao.

Considering Ji Baixiu’s awkward personality, she already resents Chen Mo and Qingxuan’s relationship, coupled with this sudden change, she might choose to cut off all ties with Chen Mo due to her moral sense and shame.

She would rather sit and wait for death than break the bottom line.

But the problem is, if she dies, then that’s the end for me too!

The two are originally one and the same, extremely familiar with each other, Ji Hongxiu reasoned and thought this possibility was very high.

If she doesn’t seize the opportunity now, there wouldn’t be a place for her tears in the future!

"No, I must do something!"

"But how can I make her face her inner self?"

"Unless... a fait accompli..."

A bold idea popped into Ji Hongxiu’s mind.

"Hoo——"

Chen Mo was breathing heavily, his forehead covered with beads of sweat, trying hard to withstand.

He wasn’t much of a gentleman, nor did he have great self-control, but after all, this was Ning Zhi’s master, and at this moment, it was the Yin God online, not the Daoist Venerable’s main body, so he had to consider the consequences of doing so.

With this thought, his smart intellect reclaimed the high ground.

Forcing himself to quell the turbulent mind, he propped himself up on the bed to get up and leave.

"I’ll go out and calm down first..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt his waist being hooked.

Then he heard a light countdown, "Three, two, one," and immediately——

Hiss?!

The two simultaneously took a sharp intake of breath.

Chen Mo stared at her dumbfounded, his eyes full of disbelief.

"No, what are you doing?!"

"Hmm..."

It took Ji Hongxiu a long while to calm down, tears glistening in her eyes, biting her lip tightly, "Liar, this is completely torture, I said the difference is so big, how could it possibly..."

Seeing Chen Mo’s dazed look, she moped, "What are you standing there for? While Bai Xiu’s not awake, hurry up... Remember, don’t use your cultivation technique, though I’ve temporarily lost cultivation, my status remains, you can’t handle my aura..."

"..."

Chen Mo’s face was full of question marks.

He didn’t know why things had suddenly turned out like this...

But now there was no way to think much, under Ji Hongxiu’s aggressive onslaught, his already unsteady will was utterly destroyed.

"Are you sure Daoist Venerable won’t kill me when she wakes up?"

"Maybe."

"?"

"Don’t worry about it too much now; do you think you can turn back at this point?"

"...Indeed, I can’t."

Their conversation gradually blurred, and low sobs echoed in the room.

...

...

Who knows how long had passed.

The air gradually quieted down.

The two lay quietly on the disheveled bed, blankly staring at the ceiling.

Ji Hongxiu decided to take back what she said just now.

This time, she finally understood why Qingxuan had exaggerated so much before... The taste within was truly indescribable to outsiders.

Most importantly, that feeling of heart and spirit being in perfect harmony, without too many words, both understood each other’s intentions, heartbeat, breathing, divine thought, Dao Heart... All merged into one at that moment.

"Chen Mo..."

"What is it?"

"I seem to have really fallen for you."

"...Why did you emphasize ’fallen’, and isn’t this order reversed?"

Chen Mo’s mind was still somewhat dazed at this moment.

He originally thought he couldn’t break through the Ultimate Venerable’s defense, but perhaps due to the loss of her cultivation, it collapsed at the first blow, breaking through effortlessly...

What surprised him more was that the Daoist Venerable turned out to be the legendary Nine Bends Corridor...
