I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 329 The Long Journey to the West! Where did this catgirl come from?!

The bedroom next door.

A stack of old clothes sat on the table beside her, and Liu Miaozhi was mending them with needle and thread by the dim candlelight.

Yu'er sat opposite her, resting her chin on her hand, and said, "Aunt Liu, if your clothes are torn, just change them. Why go through all this trouble?"

Liu Miaozhi shook her head and said, "It's just that the stitches have come undone. It's not like it's unwearable. Now, dozens of mouths in the Xu family depend on you for support. Money doesn't grow on trees, so naturally we have to be careful with it."

Yu'er smiled and said, "I don't need to serve wine or entertain guests. I just play the zither occasionally. It's very relaxing. Besides, I haven't even spent all the silver notes that Lord Chen left me last time."

Upon hearing this, Liu Miaozhi paused slightly.

He then put down his work, looked up at Yu'er, and said seriously, "So, you think it's only right for us to spend Lord Chen's money?"

“Isn’t that right?” Yu’er tilted her head and said.

In her eyes, she and Chen Mo were already inseparable, each intertwined with the other.

They didn't care about such material possessions at all.

"Have you ever thought about why Lord Chen gave you money?" Liu Miaozhi asked again.

Without hesitation, Yu'er replied, "Of course it's because he likes me!"

"do you like him?"

"I love it to death."

"And what have you done for him?"

"I……"

Yu'er was speechless for a moment.

"True love is always a two-way street. If you treat me with respect, I will reciprocate with even greater respect. Only when both parties are willing to give sincerely can the relationship last."

"But if only one side is completely open and honest, and the other side just accepts it all without question, is that really affection? It's just charity."

Liu Miaozhi said earnestly, "There is no love or hate without a reason in this world. Lord Chen is good to you and does not ask for anything in return. This is a matter of kindness, not a matter of obligation. You should weigh things in your own heart."

"Is there no such thing as love or hate without a reason?"

Upon hearing this, Yu'er fell into deep thought.

When exactly did I begin to truly fall in love with Lord Chen?
Perhaps it was when Chen Mo chopped Yan Linghu into a human stump to avenge her; perhaps it was when he returned from the Northern Frontier, gave her spiritual fruit, and helped her "come back to life"; or perhaps it was when he overwhelmed everyone at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, making her the number one flower queen...

Thinking about it carefully, Chen Mo has done so much for her, but it seems like she hasn't helped Chen Mo at all...

Why would Chen Mo like her?

Yu'er felt that her little brain was not enough, and her CPU was about to burn out.

Seeing her bewildered expression, Liu Miaozhi sighed softly.

The reason she told Yu'er these things was not to sow discord. On the contrary, no one wanted the two of them to last longer than Liu Miaozhi, since the entire Xu family was now relying on Chen Mo.

But this unequal relationship is ultimately too fragile.

Chen Mo is now a favorite of the court, and those surrounding him are either rich ladies or holy maidens from sects, all of whom are stunning beauties.

In comparison, Yu'er had absolutely no competitive advantage.

Now they've added a whole bunch of burdens to the mix, not to mention the Prince Yu's mansion is eyeing them covetously...

"The Xu family's affairs are too complicated; those people won't give up easily."

"Chen Mo may be willing to risk everything for a woman and fight to the death with the Prince Yu's mansion, but ultimately, he is also a court official. How can he possibly contend with the royal family?"

"If that supreme ruler were to speak, even if Chen Mo wanted to, he would probably be powerless to do anything about it."

Liu Miaozhi did not say these words aloud.

She didn't want to put such a heavy burden on Yu'er's shoulders.

"If that day ever comes, we absolutely cannot drag Chen Mo into this."

"I just hope he can protect Yu'er. As for our lives, we were lucky to be alive... we're already so fortunate to have survived this long..."

Liu Miaozhi made a decision in her heart, reached out and stroked Yu'er's face, her eyes gentle, and whispered, "Yan'er is gone, and I have no more worries in my heart. I only hope that you can live well..."

Yu'er took her hand and said, "Lord Chen said he would redeem us from our servitude, then I can get married. When we have our wedding, can Aunt Liu be my mother?"

married?

The Chen family is a prominent and wealthy family. If they were to marry a woman of the night, who knows what kind of uproar it would cause.

Furthermore, given the sensitive nature of the Xu family's identity, how could the Prince Yu's Mansion possibly sit idly by?

Liu Miaozhi shook her head and said, "People should learn to be content. Whether you have a title or not is not important. As long as you can stay by Lord Chen's side, that's enough. This is your blessing, and you should cherish it..."

"Ahem, of course, it would be even better if I could give him a son or daughter..."

"Have a...have a baby?" Yu'er's face flushed, and she stammered, "But...but I don't know how."

“Silly girl, you’ve done everything you could. Do you really need someone to teach you this?” Liu Miaozhi leaned close to her ear and whispered, “You just need to…”

dong dong dong-

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Xu Ling'er's hurried voice came from outside the door: "Auntie, it's me. I have something important to tell you."

"Come in," Liu Miaozhi said.

Xu Ling'er pushed open the door and entered, then turned around and closed the door tightly before quickly walking up to the two people.

Seeing her flustered appearance, Liu Miaozhi frowned. "What exactly happened?"

Xu Ling'er swallowed hard and said, "I just went out to gather information, and I heard that Lord Chen... he..."

Yu'er's heart skipped a beat. She quickly pulled Xu Ling'er to sit down, poured her a cup of tea, and said urgently, "Tell me properly, what exactly happened to Lord Chen?"

Xu Ling'er tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp, calming her emotions slightly. Then, she uttered something astonishing:
"Lord Chen, he killed Chu Heng!"

? !
The room fell into a deathly silence!
Liu Miaozhi's eyes widened in disbelief: "What...what did you say? Chu Heng is dead?!"

Xu Ling'er nodded and said, "Miss Fengchun of Miaoyin Pavilion has a patron who is a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Revenue. I overheard him talking to my friend just now, and the information is absolutely accurate!"

Liu Miaozhi swallowed hard.

In matters like this, court officials wouldn't speak carelessly; it's most likely true!

If that's the case, then Chen Mo has gotten himself into big trouble!

"No matter what crimes Chu Heng has committed, it cannot change the fact that he is a member of the royal family. With the Eight Deliberations policy in place, as long as it is not treason, his crime does not warrant the death penalty."

"With Lord Chen taking such ruthless measures, the Prince Yu's mansion will certainly not let this go."

"What should we do..."

Liu Miaozhi paced anxiously in the room.

Xu Ling'er scratched her head and said, "But the problem is, Chu Heng is plotting a rebellion."

"Ok?"

Liu Miaozhi's expression froze.

"I haven't finished speaking yet."

Xu Ling'er continued, "This turmoil was caused by Chu Heng. He even escaped from the imperial prison and tried to flee the city, but was intercepted and killed by Lord Chen on the way. Now, the Yu Prince's Mansion has been sealed off, and all his family members have been detained by the Tianlin Guard."

"That doctor said that Lord Chen not only has no fault, but has also made a great contribution!"

"I heard that Her Majesty the Empress has already bestowed upon him the title of Commander of a Thousand Households and also awarded him a third-rank honorary title!"

Liu Miaozhi looked dazed and slumped back into her chair, exhausted.

Prince Yu's Mansion...

It just collapsed like that?

In the past, she would never have dared to even think about it, but Chen Mo actually did it?

The dark clouds hanging over the Xu family suddenly parted, giving her the feeling of falling into a dream.

"It seems I underestimated him..."

"With this man around, perhaps the Xu family can truly be exonerated and their innocence redressed one day?"

"If the master and madam are watching from heaven, they can rest in peace now."

Liu Miaozhi muttered to herself.

Yu'er gripped the hem of her dress tightly with her slender hands, her eyes reddening slightly, and asked in a trembling voice, "Where is Lord Chen now?"

Xu Ling'er thought for a moment and said, "When I passed by Miss Gu's room just now, I thought I heard some noises inside, but I don't know if it was..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yu'er turned and left.

Liu Miaozhi realized what was happening and quickly grabbed her, whispering in her ear, "Do you remember what I just told you? Remember, at the last moment, you must seize the opportunity..."

"Um……"

Yu'er bit her lip, responded, and then quickly walked out of the room.

Xu Ling'er asked curiously, "Auntie, what were you and Miss Yu'er talking about? You were being so secretive."

"It's nothing." Liu Miaozhi glanced at her and said, "It's too early to talk about these things now. You'll know when you have the chance in the future."

As the saying goes, a sister-in-law has half of her brother-in-law's buttocks...

These are all countable...

……

……

In the bathroom.

The solid ice melted under the intense heat, and white mist continuously rose up.

Gu Manzhi lay on the ice bed, her eyes vacant, with a blue light flickering between her brows.

Originally, thanks to her special physique, she was still able to exchange a few blows with Chen Mo, but now Chen Mo has broken through to the third rank and become a true Grandmaster, and his combat power has once again made a qualitative leap.

After only a few rounds, he was completely defeated.

Moreover, Chen Mo's Dao power contains even more profound and complex laws.

Through the "Secret Technique of Dongxuanzi," the two intertwined their Qi, feeling the vast and boundless Dao intent, which almost caused her to lose her senses within it.

This training alone will probably take about two months to fully digest!
At this moment, Chen Mo was in surprisingly good condition.

The energy in the dragon's blood was too strong, making him feel extremely hot, and his meridians were constantly under high load.

Gu Manzhi's Yin energy was like sweet rain falling from the sky, constantly nourishing his overloaded meridians, neutralizing the extremely Yang energy in the dragon blood, and adjusting his body to the optimal state of Yin-Yang balance.

"call--"

Red totems spread across his majestic body, exuding an oppressive aura, and even his breath carried waves of heat. Seeing Ye Henshui's slightly furrowed brows, Chen Mo knew that going too far was counterproductive; after all, this little girl was even more pathetic than Saintess Gu.

But just as he was about to get up, Ye Henshui crossed her legs and clung tightly to him.

"Water?" Chen Mo was taken aback.

Ye Henshui's face was as red as a ripe apple. Mustering her courage, she said, "Lord Chen, I want..."

Before she could finish speaking, the door was pushed open, and Yu'er's joyful voice rang out: "Lord Chen, you're really back! I've missed you so much!"

"..."

Ye Henshui bit her lip, her pink eyes filled with resentment.

I finally managed to get the saintess offline, but then a formidable rival appeared...

But no matter what, she won't back down this time!

……

……

The next day at dawn, around 3 AM, the first light of day was just beginning to break.

A paper figure, no bigger than a palm, struggled to climb the wall, squeezed into the bedroom through the window crack, and lay down on the table, panting heavily.

"That bastard!" Ji Lianxing's face was full of resentment.

When Chen Mo threw her out last night, he also attached a wisp of wind-attribute energy, which carried her for two whole blocks before she landed.

She dared not reveal her presence, so she could only trudge along on her short legs, almost getting snatched away by a stray dog ​​by the roadside, until dawn before finally returning to Yunshui Pavilion.

"I'm so tired..."

Ji Lianxing was exhausted and sleepy. After catching her breath, she got up, jumped off the table, and walked towards the bed.

However, as soon as I climbed into bed, I found that the place was already overcrowded.

Looking at the chaotic scene around him, it was easy to imagine what had happened last night—probably another sleepless night of "ascetic practice"...

However, she was already used to this kind of scene.

At this moment, Chen Mo was lying in the middle, his eyes closed, still fast asleep.

"I've been traveling all night, and you're sleeping soundly!"

Ji Lianxing was furious. She jumped on him and unleashed a flurry of punches on his handsome face, all the while muttering curses under her breath:

"I'll teach you to wipe everything up, I'll teach you to throw me out, I'll beat you to death, you bastard..."

However, as a paper doll, her strength was pitifully weak, almost like a mosquito bite. Chen Mo didn't feel anything at all, and his automatic alert was not even triggered.

Soon Ji Lianxing was too exhausted to fight anymore and sat weakly on his chest.

He looked around and frowned.

"Why does it seem like there's an extra person?"

Before she could even react, Chen Mo flipped over, throwing her flying and pinning her beneath him.

"Eh?!"

"Wait, wait a minute!"

……

……

As dawn broke, sunlight filtered through the gauze curtains, casting dappled shadows.

Chen Mo woke up from his sleep, feeling lightheaded.

Last night's situation was too chaotic. Ye Henshui didn't know what was wrong with him. Even though he had reached his limit, he still had to hold on and persevere until the very last moment.

Later, Yu'er was the same; it seemed she wouldn't give up until she obtained the true scriptures...

What exactly triggered this reaction in these two people?

Chen Mo shook his head and sat up.

Gu Manzhi and Ye Henshui were close together, nestled beside him, while Yu'er slept on the other side, her lips moving as if she were mumbling in her sleep.

“Baby…my baby with Lord Chen…hehe…hehe…”

?

Chen Mo looked completely bewildered.

What is this mess?

Suddenly, his expression froze.

"Wait, something's not right..."

"Saintess Gu and Shui Shui are on the right, and Yu'er is on the left, so who's clinging to my leg right now?!"

Looking up, I was immediately stunned.

A beautiful figure was curled up at the foot of the bed, fast asleep with her arms wrapped around his leg.

Her skin was as white as porcelain, with a lustrous sheen, and her long, black hair was draped over her shoulders, through which her beautiful face could be vaguely seen.

Chen Mo's expression gradually became serious.

Given his current level of cultivation, the fact that he could approach him silently was enough to demonstrate just how terrifying the other party's cultivation was!
"Could it be a first-grade item?!"

"I don't even know when she arrived. If she were an enemy, she should have made her move last night... Who exactly is she? And what is her purpose?"

Chen Mo felt a chill run down his spine, and his muscles tensed up involuntarily.

But since they hadn't figured out the other party's background, they didn't dare to make a move rashly.

At this moment, the woman seemed to sense something, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she opened her sleepy eyes.

She propped herself up on the bed, her long hair cascading down, revealing her stunningly beautiful face.

Her fair, rosy oval face was exquisitely flawless, like a peach blossom just beginning to bloom. Her eyebrows were slightly arched, and her lips were naturally red. Most importantly, her eyes were...

Her left eye was pale blue, and her right eye was dark gold, as clear as a gemstone, exuding a breathtaking allure.

Yet her expression was innocent and naive, creating a stark contrast with her appearance.

Noticing Chen Mo's gaze, she slightly curled her lips and bent down to crawl towards him.

Her voluptuous figure swayed gracefully, her curves were prominent, and her waist was so soft and boneless that it twisted in an unnatural arc, making her look like an elegant Persian cat.

She climbed onto Chen Mo, her soft body sprawling against his chest, gently licking his cheeks.

"Meow~"

"..."

Chen Mo's lips twitched slightly.

In fact, the moment he saw those eyes, he had already determined the woman's identity.

"Stupid cat?"

"How did you become like this!"

"Meow?"

Although she couldn't speak, she could understand what Chen Mo was trying to say.

After thinking for a moment, he began to gesture.

Chen Mo stroked his chin, hesitatingly asking, "You mean, what did you eat that caused this?"

"Meow!" The cat nodded.

As if afraid he wouldn't believe it, she even gave him a demonstration.

Between the strands of hair, a kind of asphalt-like substance oozed out, weaving like silk threads, and quickly formed two cat ears. At the same time, a tail appeared behind it.

?

Goodness, she's really become a catgirl?

Chen Mo frowned even more deeply.

This black cat was originally a powerful demon named You Ji, whose strength started at the second rank or above. I almost died at her hands back then.

Later, the Daoist Master subdued him, sealed his memories, and placed him by his side as bait to lure the Demon Lord, this big fish.

Unexpectedly, by sheer chance, he regained his human form?
"Now that the Demon Lord is dead, there's no point in keeping her around..."

Reason told Chen Mo that he should get rid of this trouble as soon as possible.

But seeing her wagging her tail affectionately, he hesitated for a moment.

"Forget it, we've already raised it for so long, a day or two won't make a difference."

"Let's take her to Tianlan Mountain together and let Daoist Master see what's going on."

Fortunately, the cat's aura was very well concealed, and even he couldn't detect it, so he wasn't worried about anyone noticing anything unusual.

"However, just to be on the safe side, you should try not to transform into human form most of the time," Chen Mo advised.

"Meow," the cat obediently responded.

Then she twitched her nose, as if she had noticed something, and turned around to bury her head in the blanket.

A moment later, it raised its head, a paper figure in its mouth.

"Ji Lianxing? What are you doing here?" Chen Mo asked in confusion.

"I can go wherever I want, it's none of your business!" Ji Lianxing waved her arms and shouted, "Chen Mo, who is this wild woman? Tell her to let me go!"

The cat felt that the piece of paper was cursing it, so it bit harder and shook it from side to side.

"Oh no, this is going to break!"

"You damned woman, just you wait! I'm not done with you yet!"

Gu Manzhi and Ye Henshui were also woken up one after another. They rubbed their eyes, looking completely bewildered.

"My lord, who is this young lady?"

"Am I dreaming? Why does she have a tail...?"

"..."

Chen Mo's head was buzzing, and he rubbed his temples helplessly.

What kind of situation is this...?
