I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 827 - 309: Daoist Venerable of Debauchery! So I’m the Sixth?!_3

Seeing the other party silent, Chen Mo sighed and said, "You probably don’t want to see me right now either. I’ll wait outside, until you decide whether to kill or curse me, it’s up to you."

With that, he prepared to get up and leave.

At that moment, Ji Hongxiu spoke, her voice slightly hoarse, "I know why."

"Hmm?"

Chen Mo froze upon hearing this.

Then he was stunned by the sight before him.

Behind Ji Hongxiu appeared an ancient tree, lush with dense branches and leaves, peach blossoms of pink and white intermingling, blooming brilliantly, dazzling as if radiant.

He had seen this Dharma Image before, but what was different now was that his name was carved on the trunk!

"This ’Dual Life of Decay and Flourish’ Dharma Image is what I understood after contemplating the Way of Cause and Effect."

Ji Hongxiu rubbed her eyes and said, "One side represents worldly desires, the other represents clarity of the Dao Heart. But it has transformed into this current appearance, all because of you..."

Chen Mo’s Adam’s apple moved slightly, "Because of me?"

Ji Hongxiu leaned against the edge of the bed, sat up, the strap slipping off revealing a rounded fragrant shoulder, "Back in the Chen Mansion, Yu Youhan and I were tied together by that strange red ribbon, resulting in frost turning to dew, withered wood coming to life, and my feelings towards you underwent a subtle change..."

Chen Mo suddenly understood.

Previously the Yin God mentioned it was the Daoist Venerable who first confirmed the "intent," was it originally meant like this?

From that time, she had already been stirred by worldly sentiments?

"This time your name appeared on the tree, I think it’s the result of my attempt to avoid the Origin, leading to a fusion with your Divine Soul..." Ji Hongxiu said.

"Wait a moment..."

Chen Mo hugged his shoulders, pondering aloud, "So, you also have the same feeling as me?"

Ji Hongxiu nodded, "That’s right..."

Chen Mo tentatively said, "Then it shouldn’t count as me forcing you earlier, right?"

Ji Hongxiu’s cheeks flushed even more, "Of course not, it wasn’t just you who couldn’t hold back, I... I felt the same way..."

"..."

Chen Mo asked in confusion, "Then why were you crying? As if you suffered some great grievance."

Ji Hongxiu turned her head away, saying, "I just thought that as Qingxuan’s master, Sect Leader of Tianshu Pavilion, I actually did something so shameless, and even enjoyed it, I just feel ashamed, can’t I?"

Chen Mo’s mouth twitched.

In the end, she cried out of pleasure...

Ji Hongxiu bit her lip and said, "When I first woke up, I didn’t realize, so my emotions were so stirred... Rest assured, I neither want to kill you nor curse you, this is all the Cause and Effect I should bear, can’t blame everything on you alone."

"Since it has already happened, there’s no point in dwelling on who’s right or wrong."

"But no matter what, Qingxuan must never find out about this, otherwise I’ll never be able to face her again in my life."

Chen Mo said, "I naturally won’t take the initiative to tell her, but secrets can’t be hidden forever. Ultimately, it can’t be concealed forever? Or should we end it all today, never to cross paths again?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Hongxiu fell silent.

End it all?

Can she really do it?

The atmosphere was quiet enough that the drop of a needle could be heard.

After a long while, Ji Hongxiu spoke, "Can I ask you a question first?"

Chen Mo nodded, "Of course."

Ji Hongxiu asked, "Including Qingxuan, how many girls have you truly had this... kind of relationship with? Excluding women of the night, I mean confidantes."

Chen Mo silently calculated for a moment, then answered honestly, "Accurately speaking, you should be the sixth."

Ji Hongxiu’s beautiful eyes widened, surprised, "So few? Six?"

"Is that a lot?"

"And that doesn’t include those in team-building activities or newly made friends..."

Chen Mo scratched his head, cautiously said, "If I told you, among the Ultimate Venerables, you are the first, would you be happier?"

Ji Hongxiu: "..."
