I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 312 The Imperial Concubine's Intentions! The Eldest Princess's Kissing Counterattack!
"Your Highness misunderstands. When I was investigating Chu Heng's whereabouts, I accidentally wandered into a peach blossom forest. It was very narrow at first, barely wide enough for one person to pass through..." Chen Mo said casually, his thoughts drifting again.

"is it?"

Chu Yanli looked suspicious.

Although he sensed something was wrong, there was nothing he could do since he wouldn't admit it.

We can't just pull down his pants and inspect him on the spot, can we?

Chen Mo changed the subject at the right time, saying, "However, to be precise, I did encounter a demon... To be precise, that demon was hiding inside Chu Heng's body, which is why he was able to escape from the prison."

"But in the end, it became a sacrifice for the demon race's descent."

"Advent?"

Thinking of Chu Heng's tragic death, Chu Yanli realized something, her expression turned solemn, and she said in a deep voice, "It's not convenient to talk here. Let's go back and talk first."

She grabbed Chen Mo's shoulder, ready to fly away.

As a result, his arm was stretched straight, but his opponent remained as still as a rock.

"Ok?"

Chu Yanli frowned slightly, and upon closer inspection, she realized that Chen Mo's aura was so restrained that even she couldn't quite see through him.

"You broke through?" she asked in surprise.

Chen Mo nodded and said, "I was fortunate enough to step into the Celestial Realm by chance."

"..."

Chu Yanli fell silent for a moment.

A twenty-year-old grandmaster?

Although it's unknown if anyone has followed suit, this should be considered unprecedented.

She considered herself to be no less talented than others, and with the blessing of the Heavenly Decree Seal, she still couldn't do this... Just what kind of monster is this guy?
"What kind of peach blossom forest is so eerie that it can help you enter the Dao? Can you take me there too?" Chu Yanli asked curiously.

"Cough cough!"

Chen Mo almost choked on his saliva, and said somewhat awkwardly, "This humble servant has forgotten the exact location. In the future, if there is a chance, I will definitely take Your Highness there..."

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Chu Yanli didn't press him further. She then ignited a blazing golden light around her and looked at Chen Mo provocatively.

Chen Mo understood instantly, and faint lightning appeared on his body.

boom--

With a deafening roar, the two figures vanished instantly.

……

……

Zhaohua Palace.

The empress, dressed in a bright yellow imperial robe, sat upright before the imperial desk, her elbows resting on the armrests, her slender fingers rubbing her temples.

The court officials had been making a ruckus all morning, driving her crazy. They all kept saying they wanted to investigate thoroughly, but none of them could come up with an effective solution.

What is certain at present is that this matter is inextricably linked to the Prince Yu's Mansion.

After the explosion, the ground in Kyoto cracked, countless houses collapsed, and the damage was extremely severe.

The Ministry of Works and the Jingzhao Prefecture immediately began emergency repairs, only to discover that the epicenter originated below the Prince's Mansion and spread all the way to the South Gate, where it was detonated almost simultaneously with the explosives under the ancestral temple.

"According to the files submitted by Chen Mo, starting around the year before last, the Yu Prince's Mansion frequently recruited earth and stone craftsmen under the pretext of repairing the mansion. There were no fewer than a hundred people in total. Once these people entered the mansion, they completely disappeared without a trace."

"In other words, the Prince Yu's Mansion has been preparing for this plan for at least three years."

"Instructing the Zhou family to mine red sandstone and colluding with the demon race... all in preparation for this day."

The Empress's gaze darkened slightly.

At this point, everything was connected.

And all of this perfectly matches Chen Mo's investigation results.

Before the situation worsened, Chen Mo had already apprehended the "real culprit," but at that time, the court officials were busy accusing each other and fighting amongst themselves, and no one paid any attention to the matter.

Now that they have almost lost their lives and fortunes, they have finally realized the seriousness of the situation.

Standing to the side, Lady Sun said, "According to the investigation, after Chu Heng escaped from the imperial prison, he left the city under the cover of Lin Junxian, the commander of the Eastern City Military Command. Later, Lin Junxian's body was found 1,500 li outside the city. He must have been silenced."

"Chu Heng and the palace servants also died nearby."

"After the coroner examined the body, he found that the worshipper had been killed by a sorcerer and the body had been eaten by wild animals. No useful clues could be found."

"Chu Heng's corpse contained an extremely strong demonic energy, the purity of which was unprecedented. It is speculated that he might be a first-grade demon..."

Upon hearing this, the Empress's heart sank.

With a mysterious sorcerer capable of killing a grandmaster and a demon with strength comparable to a first-rank demon, the danger of the situation goes without saying!
Chen Mo's whereabouts are still unknown. Could it be that he has met with some misfortune?

Seeing the Empress's expression, Lady Sun hurriedly said, "Your Highness, there is no need to worry. Lord Chen is a lucky man and will be fine... The Tianlin Guard and the Demon Suppression Division are searching with all their might, and any findings will be reported immediately."

The Queen took a deep breath to calm herself.

For her now, no news is the best news.

The situation is turbulent now, and she has to hold on no matter what, otherwise things could get really messy.

"Send more manpower, even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we must find him!"

"Yes!"

"Have the damage figures for Kyoto been released yet?"

Lady Sun took out a stack of documents from her sleeve, presented them to the Empress, and said:

"According to reports from various parties, a total of 235 Imperial Guardsmen died in this turmoil, and 15 court officials also perished, including Vice Minister of Personnel Li Yu and Chief Clerk of the Ministry of Personnel Yang Yi..."

"In the capital city, the number of confirmed deaths has exceeded five thousand, and the number is still rising."

"As per His Highness's request, a temporary relief station has been set up near Anyang Gate, and medical personnel have been recruited from surrounding counties to provide free treatment to the wounded..."

"The compensation process is also underway..."

Looking at the shocking numbers on the paper, the Empress's expression grew increasingly solemn.

Although she tried to think of the worst-case scenario, the severity of the tragedy far exceeded her expectations.

The Great Yuan Dynasty was already beset by internal and external troubles. The demon race was making a comeback, and the problems of the sects were continuing to worsen. Now, with such a terrible incident happening right under the emperor's nose, the situation is likely to get even worse.

"What did Qi Chengze say?" the Empress asked.

Lady Sun said, "That monk had a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, which contained pure Buddhist power that could temporarily elevate his cultivation to the first rank. Supervisor Qi chased him for nearly ten thousand miles, but in the end, he still managed to escape..."

The Empress was not surprised by this.

Since the other party dared to make a move at this critical juncture, they must have made thorough preparations.

Moreover, as the Director of the Imperial Observatory, Qi Chengze's cultivation lay entirely in astrology and divination, and his actual combat strength was not that great.

Sun Shanggong continued, "According to Qi Jianzheng, the monk came for the dragon's energy. The people from the Demon Suppression Division went to Dongcenfang to investigate and indeed found the array eye under the crevice. The seal had been loosened, and it is very likely that a part of the dragon's energy was taken away."

House seemingly endless rain.

At a time when the nation was already in turmoil, the dragon's energy, symbolizing its destiny, was once again being lost, and the situation seemed to be getting worse and worse.

The Empress's head throbbed slightly. She frowned and asked, "Where is Li'er? Has she returned?"

Sun Shanggong shook her head and said, "Her Highness the Princess is still searching for Chen Mo outside the city. She hasn't rested for a day and a night."

"Ugh……"

A long sigh echoed within the main hall.

……

……

Hanxiao Palace.

The Begonia Pond is shrouded in mist.

Yu Youhan soaked in the pool, scooping up water with both hands to wipe her collarbone.

Her delicate skin resembled white jade, and water droplets rolled down, disappearing into her cleavage.

Xu Qingyi knelt behind her, using a wooden comb to comb her hair, her expression somewhat conflicted, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Alright, just say what you want to say. I'm afraid you'll choke on it." Yu Youhan said indifferently without turning her head.

Xu Qingyi swallowed hard and whispered, "Such a huge mess has happened in the city, with the demon race involved, and even a high-ranking official losing his life. I'm worried about Lord Chen..."

Yu Youhan glanced at her and sneered, "After all this time, you just want to know about Chen Mo's situation, don't you?"

"Your Majesty, forgive me!"

Xu Qingyi hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in a flustered tone, "Since Your Majesty gave the order, this servant has not had any contact with Lord Chen. However, this time the situation is special, and there has been no news from Lord Chen. That's why this servant dared to ask."

"Get up, I haven't blamed you."

Yu Youhan leaned against the pool wall and said calmly, "Don't worry, I found him a Supreme Being as his bodyguard. Nothing will go wrong. He should be back in the next couple of days."

"Really?"

Xu Qingyi's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Why would I lie to you?

Yu Youhan reached an agreement with Daozun, entrusting her with protecting Chen Mo's safety.

When she fought the Demon Lord in the desolate region, she fell into nothingness because her emotions were stripped away, and was eventually awakened by Chen Mo's divine sense.

Without Ji Hongxiu's help, Chen Mo would not have been able to enter the Dao Domain, which also shows that the two of them were together, and at least their safety was guaranteed.

As for why they haven't returned yet...

They're probably helping the Daoist suppress the "cost," and maybe they're even sleeping together right now.

"Considering that Ji Hongxiu was somewhat reliable this time, let's just sleep together for one night. I won't hold it against her." Recalling her experience in the Dao Domain, Yu Youhan's heart raced, a blush rose to her cheeks, and her eyes shimmered with light.

Anyway, there's still a long road ahead.

He said he wanted to be with me for life...

Seeing Xu Qingyi's delighted expression, Yu Youhan hesitated slightly before abruptly asking, "Qingyi, if one day I am no longer a Noble Consort, would you be willing to leave with me?"

?

Xu Qingyi was stunned for a moment, somewhat caught off guard.

After realizing what was happening, she decisively replied, "Everything I have is a gift from Your Majesty. I belong to Your Majesty in life and in death! As long as Your Majesty does not despise my dullness, I am willing to follow Your Majesty and serve you faithfully!"

"Alright, I understand." Yu Youhan nodded.

Xu Qingyi blinked and asked cautiously, "But why would Your Majesty suddenly say such a thing?"

Yu Youhan parted her rosy lips, revealing a radiant smile, her stunning beauty causing Xu Qingyi to momentarily lose her composure.

"Previously, my heart was only focused on cultivation, and reaching the pinnacle of the immortal path was my only pursuit in this life."

“But now, things have changed... My life has a more important meaning besides cultivation.”

"A more important meaning?"

Xu Qingyi looked bewildered.

For some reason, she felt that the Empress had changed, becoming more vibrant. Compared to her previous aloof and unapproachable demeanor, she seemed to have gained a bit more "humanity."
……

……

Changning Pavilion.

Inside the inner hall, ripples appeared in the air as two figures materialized out of thin air.

"You still need to practice, your speed is too slow," Chu Yanli said calmly, standing with her hands behind her back.

Chen Mo curled his lip, "You were only three breaths slower, why don't you just say your cultivation level is higher than mine?"

"You lost, so be it. Don't make excuses. You'll be punished by drinking with me later." Chu Yanli looked down at her armor and said, "Sit wherever you like. I'll go change my clothes first."

Having said that, he went straight into the bedroom.

Chen Mo was a regular customer, sitting casually in the chair.

Feeling bored, I opened the system panel to check the results of this event.

All targets are dead.

【The incident ends.】

[Rating: Excellent.]

[True Spirit +2000.]

[Gained supernatural power: Six-Armed Demon Form.]

[Legend has it that this being was formed from the remnants of Asura's will, it descended upon the world as a demon, fueled by the six extreme emotions of anger, pride, madness, hatred, desire, and killing, causing karmic fire to engulf the heavens!]

?

Chen Mo was slightly stunned as he looked at the prompt text in front of him.

The event that was triggered this time required him to exterminate demons and evil spirits. Two Grandmaster-level demons died at his hands, and the Demon Lord's clone was also lured into Tianlan Mountain, which can be considered as indirectly dying because of him.

The rating being upgraded to "top-tier" is understandable.

But this reward...

A six-armed demon?

It looks a bit eerie.
Chen Mo's mind stirred slightly, and six thick, illusory arms suddenly appeared behind him. In an instant, a fierce and violent aura spread out!
Fearing that it would alert the palace guards, he quickly withdrew his supernatural powers, having already gained a general understanding of the situation.

These six arms possess six distinct powers: Crimson Wrath's punches are accompanied by scorching heat, burning one's internal organs; Filth and Hatred can rot flesh to the bone, defiling even a golden body; Purple Desire can release aphrodisiac poisons that permeate the meridians; Profound Pride is indestructible and can shatter flying swords and magical artifacts...

It looks fierce, but its power is considerable.

However, to wield this supernatural power, what is consumed is not primordial qi or true essence, but bloodthirsty qi.

"Well, it's a good match for my major."

"Based on the system's usual style, the rewards given generally depend on my current state. It seems that this six-armed demon form is related to the large amount of evil energy I absorbed in Kowloon Terrace."

Besides the event rewards, there were also two demonic eyes and that black spike.

[Obtained Rare Item: Grade B Demon Eye.]

[Upon absorption, it can increase the proficiency level of pupil-type divine abilities and has a chance to grant other powers.]

[Obtained rare item: Corroding Spirit Bone.]

[Forged from the spine of a Xuanjiao dragon, it possesses the ability to break spells, and is especially effective against formations driven by malevolent energy.]

Chen Mo crushed the two eyes, turning them into streams of light that entered his eyes, and his vision suddenly became clear—not only was his eyesight vastly improved, but he could also clearly distinguish the invisible and intangible things in the air.

The pale golden dust dancing in the air was the primordial energy that roamed freely between heaven and earth; a faint blue wisp of smoke drifted along the grain of the pear wood table beside him; the bronze incense burner in the corner gleamed with a dark, reddish-gold luster, with wisps of golden energy coiling around it like snakes...

The five elements are fully visible.

Moreover, the power contained in these two "Class B Demon Eyes" is stronger than all the previous Demon Eyes combined!

Chen Mo picked up the white porcelain wine pot on the table, focused his gaze, and the porcelain began to decompose rapidly, turning into extremely fine white dust. A gentle breeze blew by, and it disappeared like quicksand!
"So, the ability of a Level B is to see through the essence of things and dismantle them? Such a method is already close to the Tao."

“The A and B level will definitely be even stronger, and all of these were bestowed upon them by Zhu Wujian. Their true strength is simply unimaginable... It is far too risky for Your Majesty to go to the desolate region alone.”

Thinking of this, Chen Mo couldn't sit still any longer and prepared to tell the Princess that he would leave to go to Hanxiao Palace to see if the Empress had returned.

But no matter how long they waited, Chu Yanli never appeared.

"How long has it been? Does it really take this long to change clothes?"

Chen Mo sensed something was wrong and got up to walk towards the bedroom.

As I approached the room door, about to knock, I noticed that the door wasn't closed properly, and specks of red dust were seeping out from the crack.

It is blood and qi.

Could something have happened to this person again?

Chen Mo pushed open the door and entered, then came behind the screen. He was stunned by what he saw.

Chu Yanli had already removed her armor and was completely naked, revealing her slender and graceful figure, yet she did not arouse any desire in anyone.

She was lying on the ground with her eyes closed, seemingly unconscious.

Half of its body was covered in golden scales, which pierced its skin, causing blood to seep out from between the gaps and spread to the other side of its skin. If this continued, it would probably be completely mutated before long!
"It's worse than before..."

"This woman seems completely indifferent to her own body?"

Chen Mo frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then picked her up.

The skin was burning hot, while the parts covered by scales were icy cold.

He went to the bedside, gently laid her down, and purple energy appeared in his palm, enveloping her entirely.

After achieving Dao Integration, Chen Mo had mastered the control of dragon energy as if it were his own arm. With full force, the golden scales gradually faded, and the pierced skin healed rapidly under the repair of the vital essence.

"thirsty--"

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Chu Yanli's forehead, and her lips moved, emitting a faint groan.

Chen Mo took out a water bottle from his Heavenly Profound Ring, but it was really difficult to feed her while she was lying down, so he could only sit on the edge of the bed, help Chu Yanli up, let her lean against him, and then bring the mouth of the water bottle to his lips.

"Drink."

"Well……"

Chu Yanli subconsciously put the mouth of the pot into her mouth and began to suck hard.

"Drink slowly, no one's going to take it from you." Seeing that she was drinking too fast and was afraid she would choke, Chen Mo pulled the spout of the pot directly out of her mouth, making a soft "pop" sound.

"Want more...?"

Chu Yanli seemed somewhat dissatisfied, pouting and rubbing her body against him.

Chen Mo was stunned by her coquettish expression. Was this still the domineering and arrogant Feng Aotian?
She's acting just like a timid, submissive wife...

Actually, if you think about it carefully, she's not that much older than me.

However, her overwhelming majesty, amplified by the dragon's aura, coupled with her illustrious achievements and status, made it difficult for people to regard her as a "girl".

"Your Highness, are you feeling better?"

"Ok?"

Chu Yanli's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyelids. Her slightly hazy eyes looked at him, and she mumbled, "You are... Chen Mo?"

Chen Mo nodded and said, "That is indeed your humble servant."

"You lecherous scoundrel, how dare you show your face in front of me?" Chu Yanli sneered.

?

Chen Mo asked in confusion, "Your Highness, have you lost your memory? You're the one who brought me back..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Yanli grabbed his collar and said angrily, "You actually kissed me on the lips in public, what kind of person do you take me for?"

"..."

It seems he's delirious from the fever.

At this point, nothing could be explained, so Chen Mo was too lazy to waste any more words and shrugged, saying, "Anyway, we've already kissed, what else can we do? Why don't you kiss me back, Your Highness?"

"it is good."

Chu Yanli tilted her head back, her pearly teeth gently biting his lower lip, still whimpering softly:
"You bad guy, I'll bite you to death..."

Chen Mo: [_?]
