I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 182 Shen Zhixia: I’m so smart!
Yunhe looked at Chen Mo with a complicated look.

When the two met for the first time, he was just a general flag, and his cultivation was only at the sixth level, just touching the threshold of the Transcendent Realm.

And yet, only a few short months had passed, and he had already broken through to the fourth level of martial arts, becoming the first candidate for the Fire Department's Thousand Households, the top of the Qingyun list, the Tianyuan Martial Champion... He had so many titles that one could not count them on one hand!
And this rapid promotion speed was not due to connections, but was the result of hard work!
Just killing the two great demons in succession was an unprecedented achievement, not to mention that he also solved several major cases, destroyed the Zhou family, killed the demon clan, and saved tens of thousands of people from danger!

Even the enemy party can't find any fault with it!

The only controversial thing is that the boss died too quickly...

Yunhe shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying self-deprecatingly: "Fortunately, Mr. Chen was transferred to the Dinghuo Division, otherwise I would be the favorite to bet on now."

"...Master Yun is joking."

Chen Mo looked a little helpless.

It seems that I can't get rid of the label of someone who specializes in killing superiors.

"Okay, no more jokes. I came here this time because I have something serious to discuss with Master Chen."

Yunhe said, "The higher-ups are furious about Bai Lingchuan's incident this time, and have asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to conduct a thorough internal investigation. I will be fully responsible for this matter, and we may need the cooperation of the Fire Department at that time."

Chen Mo nodded and said, "Don't worry, Lord Yun. I will arrange the personnel and fully cooperate with the investigation."

"So good."

Yunhe nodded slightly and continued, "Besides that, there is one more thing. The new department of the Imperial College will be opened soon. A large number of disciples from various sects will enter the city. In order to avoid any trouble, I will have to trouble Master Chen to keep an eye on it."

"Newcomer?" Chen Mo was slightly stunned.

Yunhe explained: "This subject is called 'Jianghu Yili', and it is for the purpose of educating and balancing the power of the sects... After the destruction of the Gushen Sect, those sects have become much more honest, and I estimate that they will send people here in the near future."

"Originally, this matter was handled by Captain Ye, but she was temporarily sent to Southern Xinjiang. Lord Chen defeated the Three Saints Sect in the martial arts test and has a high reputation among the disciples of the sect, so it is most appropriate for you to handle this matter."

Chen Mo frowned when he heard this and asked in confusion, "Why did Captain Ye suddenly go to Southern Xinjiang?"

Yunhe shook his head and said, "It was arranged by the Queen to send her to the southern border to wipe out the remnants of the Gu God Cult."

At this point, he was also a little puzzled, and said: "And the reason is also very strange. It is said that it is because she stepped into the palace with her left foot first... I don't know how Ye Qianhu offended the queen..."

"..."

The corner of Chen Mo's mouth twitched slightly.

Although the Queen did not kill Ye Zi'e, she did not intend to let her go so easily. This time she would probably have to stay in southern Xinjiang for a while.

But at least I found a reason to cover it up.

Being exiled to southern Xinjiang just because he entered the door with his left foot is too outrageous...

"Okay then, it's settled. I won't bother you any more. I'll have to trouble Lord Chen to take care of the rest." Yunhe stood up and said goodbye.

"As you should. Lord Yun, take care."

Chen Mo sent Yunhe out and turned back to sit in his chair.

Li Yuan replaced the cold tea, added a cup of hot tea, and asked, "Sir, what do you think about the internal self-examination?"

Chen Mo said nonchalantly: "Bai Lingchuan is already dead, what else can be found out? It's just a show for the higher-ups to see, just let Gangzi cooperate."

"As for the Imperial College, we can't take it lightly. After all, the court is also watching. You can go with me when the time comes."

"Yes... hmm?"

Before Li Yuan could finish his words, he was pulled into his arms.

The straight and round curve pressed on the legs, causing ripples.

"Sir, someone may come in later..."

Li Yuan's face flushed a little and he spoke in a low voice.

However, Chen Mo did not do anything out of the ordinary. He just quietly hugged her slender waist and rested his cheek on her shoulder.

"Yuan'er, you have worked hard during this period."

Although he now holds the position of deputy captain, he is more like a hands-off boss. Almost all the affairs in the office are handled by Li Yuan alone, and he has never had to worry about anything.

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "This is what a subordinate should do. It's really hard for you to run around outside and handle cases."

In the eyes of everyone in the office, Chen Mo is very powerful, can solve cases like a god, and can often turn the tide, but they completely forget that he is just a young man in his early twenties.

We have flesh and blood, we feel tired and painful, and we also feel lost and confused.

She just wanted to do her best to share some of the pressure with Chen Mo.

Li Yuan adjusted his posture, letting him lean comfortably on her chest. Her slender hands gently stroked his hair, her expression filled with maternal tenderness and lingering affection.

"I am a subordinate of low ability, and often cannot help you, sir. I can only try my best to manage the office properly so that you don't have to worry."

"I have no other ideas. I just hope you can take good care of yourself, do everything within your ability, and don't work so hard."

"If something unexpected really happened to you, my lord, I don't know how I'm going to survive..."

When she heard that Chen Mo had an accident that day, she suddenly felt like the world had collapsed.

For her, it is no longer possible to imagine what life would be like without Chen Mo.

Chen Mo buried his face and said in a muffled voice: "Yuan'er, it's great to have you..."

Li Yuan's cheeks flushed, her eyes were filled with shyness and joy, and after hesitating for a moment, she whispered softly, "Sir, let's get started."

Chen Mo was a little confused, "Start what?"

Li Yuan leaned close to his ear, opened her red lips and said, "Didn't you just say that you wanted to investigate your subordinates? How about starting now?"

……

……

Yunlong Village is five hundred miles north of Tiandu City.

A woman in a green robe walked slowly into the deserted house.

Her fair face was delicate and pretty, with slightly upturned eyes and a pair of ice-blue eyes like gems, glowing with a captivating luster.

Looking at the dilapidated scene in front of him, a light flashed in his eyes, and the word "shu" was faintly revealed.

A light mist rose from the wild grass and rotten wood in front of me, lingering in the air, forming a faint image that seemed to be rapidly receding like a rewind.

About half a minute later, the picture suddenly froze.

Then it started playing forward.

A group of Tianlin Guards dressed in official robes entered the courtyard through the formation on the stone wall and searched the mansion. Among them, a tall figure attracted the woman's attention.

Although the image is a bit blurry due to the fog, it is still not difficult to see the man's handsome face.

He stood on the eaves, looking into the distance, seemed to have discovered something, and flew towards the dilapidated temple at the distant village entrance.

The woman in green followed behind, following the scent.

As the distance increases, the image becomes more and more blurry, until it is almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

The image was completely interrupted until it reached the Canglan River.

"It's been too long, the aura is too weak, I can't see clearly..."

The green-robed woman frowned slightly and whispered to herself, "It is not possible to confirm whether Chen Mo has dragon energy for the time being. It seems that we still need to contact Lady Youji first..."

She flipped her wrist and a black beetle appeared in her palm.

The carapace on the back spreads out to both sides, and the thin elytra are covered with dense and twisted patterns.

The woman in green robe passed a wisp of demonic energy into it, and the characters swam like tadpoles, and then were swallowed by the beetle one by one.

The speech-eating insects are the demon race's unique means of communication.

These insects can pair up in pairs, read and write characters, and transmit messages through the air without causing fluctuations in demonic energy, making them extremely concealed.

The disadvantages are that there are too few of them and the communication range is small, with the maximum distance not exceeding a thousand miles.

After the woman in blue sent the message, she waited for a long time but never received a reply.

Logically speaking, this range is enough to cover Tiandu City, and Youji must have received the message. If she couldn't reply in time, it was most likely that something went wrong...

"Has Lady Youji's identity been exposed?"

The woman in green robe hesitated for a moment.

Whether it is to find Youji or to get close to Chen Mo, we have to find a way to enter Tiandu City...

"An ordinary person's body cannot conceal my aura. I have to find a suitable body first..."

whoosh-

Just then, a sound of breaking air was heard from above.

The woman in green robe looked up and saw a flying boat passing through the sky. On the hull was engraved the word "Wu" in the style of silver hook and iron.

Then several flying boats flew by from behind, with the emblems of several major sects printed on them.

"Is this direction heading to Tiandu City?"

"What are so many sects doing entering the city?" The woman in green robe pondered for a moment, then disappeared in a flash.

……

……

Tiandu City.

In front of the Tianlinwei training ground, a moon-white figure was pacing back and forth.

Ling Ningzhi looked at the gate of the training ground, biting her lip with her pearly teeth, with a slightly hesitant look on her face.

What happened in the restaurant made her feel extremely embarrassed, and at the same time, she felt a little worried.

She was very clear about the relationship between Concubine Yu and Chen Mo.

This time, what happened between the two of them happened in front of the imperial concubine. It would be difficult for any woman to accept it.

What if the imperial concubine becomes jealous and wants to harm Chen Mo?
"I don't know if Master Chen has returned."

"If I rush in like this, will I end up causing him trouble?"

Ling Ningzhi was a little hesitant.

"Taoist priest?"

Just then, a clear voice suddenly came from behind.

Ling Ningzhi turned her head and saw a pretty figure in a pink floral dress walking towards her.

Her facial features are soft, her skin is fair and delicate, her eyes are clear and clean without any impurities, her long skirt outlines her slender waist and tall curves, and a section of her crystal-like calves is revealed under the flying skirt.

The whole person exudes a pure and sweet aura.

The premise is to ignore the ginger and black bean pig's trotters in her hand...

"Zhi Xia?"

"Master, why are you here?"

Shen Zhixia skipped and jumped in front of Ling Ningzhi.

"I just happened to be passing by..."

Ling Ningzhi's eyes were vague and she felt inexplicably guilty.

Shen Zhixia smiled and said, "You are here to see Brother Chen Mo, right?"

"Pindao..."

Before Ling Ningzhi could say anything, Shen Zhixia took her arm and pulled her towards the inner part of the government office.

"Well, didn't we talk it out last time? I really don't mind."

"Actually, this is pretty good. The Taoist priest also likes my brother, so I can be good sisters with him for life!"

Looking at that innocent look, Ling Ningzhi felt more and more ashamed.

Zhixia was sincere to her, but she did so many "bad things" behind Zhixia's back...

At this moment, Shen Zhixia thought of something, her face flushed, and she whispered, "Master, please don't tell anyone else about what happened last time. This is the first time I did that in front of others..."

Ling Ningzhi's cheeks also felt a little hot, and she spat, "How could I possibly let others know about this?"

"Hehe, Taoist priest, you have cut off the worldly affairs before and have not entered the ordinary world. You must not understand many things, right?" Shen Zhixia raised the corners of her mouth and said with some pride: "I have learned a lot from my aunt, and I even bought some storybooks to study. If Taoist priest wants to learn, I can teach you~"

"..."

Ling Ningzhi's eyelids twitched, and she said awkwardly: "Then, then there's no need..."

"Don't be shy!"

"I also figured it out step by step!"

"There are many tricks involved. Do you know what my brother likes the most..."

Shen Zhixia thought she was embarrassed, so she waved her pig's trotter and enthusiastically shared her experience with her.

Little did they know that this was already what Taoist Qingxuan had left over...

The two chatted as they walked towards the Fire Department Yamen.

Since everyone knew Shen Zhixia's identity, no one tried to stop them along the way.

The two men came to the Duhuo Si Court, but found that the hall was empty.

Shen Zhixia was a little puzzled and asked, "Strange, Brother Chen Mo is not here today?"

Just as she was about to enter the inner hall to take a look, suddenly, footsteps were heard and Chen Mo walked out through the screen door.

Li Yuan followed closely behind, her hair a little wet and a blush still lingering on her cheeks.

With Ling Ningzhi's keen eyesight, she could naturally see what the two were doing just now, and she couldn't help but secretly spit.

Lord Chen is as ridiculous as ever!
"Zhixia, Taoist Priest, why are you here?" Chen Mo asked.

"I miss my brother~"

Shen Zhixia was just about to throw herself into Chen Mo's arms and act coquettishly, but after seeing Li Yuan, her expression suddenly restrained and she became dignified and ladylike.

"So General Li is here too."

"Miss Shen, Taoist Qingxuan."

Li Yuan nodded in greeting.

Chen Mo smiled and said, "Now you should call him Li Baihu."

Shen Zhixia was slightly stunned, then she cupped her hands and said, "Captain Li was promoted so quickly? Congratulations, it seems that what my brother said is right, you are really capable."

Li Yuan didn't know what he was thinking. His cheeks flushed even more. He lowered his head and said, "My ability is limited. I can only be where I am today because of the trust of Lord Chen."

Shen Zhixia blinked and asked, "By the way, what were you doing in the inner hall just now?"

"us……"

Li Yuan was caught off guard and looked a little embarrassed.

"Ahem." Chen Mo cleared his throat and said, "I've been out on a case lately, and Li Baihu has been in charge of the affairs of the office. I was just listening to her report on the latest situation."

"Oh."

Shen Zhixia nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

She tugged at Chen Mo's sleeve and asked cautiously, "Brother, are you done with your work now? It's almost time for lunch, I want to go out for a walk with you..."

"This……"

Chen Mo turned his head and glanced at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Anyway, there is nothing to do today. It is enough for the yamen to have subordinates to keep an eye on it. Sir Chen does not need to worry."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Li Baihu!"

Shen Zhixia took Chen Mo and left the office excitedly.

Ling Ningzhi also raised her legs and followed behind.

Li Yuan looked at the backs of several people and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, you noticed it early, otherwise we would have been discovered..."

"I hope Miss Shen didn't notice anything unusual..."

……

The three of them walked out of the Tianlinwei gate.

Chen Mo asked: "Zhixia, what would you like to eat for lunch?"

Shen Zhixia didn't answer. She poked his waist with her finger and snorted, "Brother, you are lying. In fact, you and Li Baihu are not dealing with official business at all."

?

Chen Mo's expression froze, and he subconsciously looked at Ling Ningzhi.

Could it be that this girl saw something?
"Why do you say that?"

"Humph, I'm not a fool, I can see it naturally."

Shen Zhixia put her hands on her waist and said angrily with her cheeks puffed up: "Brother was kissing Li Baihu just now, right?"

Chen Mo: "..."

Ling Ningzhi: “…”

……

ps: I have been busy recently, so the number of words is a little less. I will return to normal after I deal with it in the next two days~
