I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 330 The Gentle Cat Girl Transforms Online! Even the Master Wants to Cultivate Together!
Inside the bedroom of Yunshui Pavilion.

The cat was wearing a long robe that barely covered her private parts. Her long, slender legs were bent outward as she knelt on the bed, her delicate face full of bewilderment.

Gu Manzhi stood by the bed, arms crossed, frowning as she said, "So, this woman is actually a stray cat that the gentleman picked up and transformed into?"

Above their heads, the little paper figure stood with its hands on its hips, angrily saying, "So it's a cat demon! I knew the demons were still up to no good, actually lurking among us! Chen Mo, what are you waiting for? Make your move!"

"Meow……"

The cat's ears drooped, looking all wronged.

It had only been sleeping next to its owner and didn't understand what it had done wrong.

Yu'er and Ye Henshui hid behind Gu Manzhi, peeking out from the left and right, curiously examining the "cat demon".

"She seems different from any other demon I've met before; she doesn't have that strange smell on her." Ye Henshui asked疑惑地, "And since she's a demon, why didn't she trigger the Eight Desolations Demon-Slaying Formation?"

Her five senses were already very sharp. When she was kidnapped by Jue Ning, she had come into close contact with the demon race and could clearly feel an uncomfortable aura. Later she learned that it was the so-called demonic energy.

"Hmph, they must have used some method to conceal their presence."

"No matter what, those who are not of our kind will surely have different intentions. We would rather kill three thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free!"

Ji Lianxing was still upset about being bitten earlier.

"Alright," Chen Mo said. "I know her background very well, and I will handle this matter properly. In fact, to be precise, she can no longer be considered a demon."

After a careful investigation, he roughly understood the cat's condition.

Although her soul is You Ji, her memories are sealed, and because she has been attached to a cat for a long time, she has come to truly believe that she is a cat.

Later, he accidentally devoured some strange object and gained the ability to reshape his physical body. Based on his remaining subconscious, he transformed back into human form. There was no demonic energy in his body at all, which is why he did not notice anything last night.

In other words, apart from her divine soul, her physical body has no connection with the demon race; she is simply a catgirl who can switch freely between cat and human.

"Meow~"

Hearing Chen Mo speak up for her, the catgirl's eyes curved into crescent moons, and she wagged her tail, wanting to pounce on him and lick him.

But noticing the girls' piercing gazes, he silently sat back down.

"Chen Mo, you wouldn't be thinking something wicked about her just because she's pretty, would you?" Ji Lianxing glared at him sideways, disdainfully saying, "You wouldn't even spare a cat, it's truly disgusting..."

"The 10 billion yuan subsidy is canceled. You'd better find a way to make money yourself," Chen Mo said calmly.

"...He poured his heart and soul into this, displaying youthful vigor and a perfect balance of strength and gentleness." Ji Lianxing's expression changed swiftly, and she chuckled, "Treats all cat demons equally; Lord Chen's magnanimity and benevolent spirit are truly admirable."

"..."

Gu Manzhi and Ye Henshui both lowered their heads at the same time.

Although they knew that their master's bottom line was always flexible, they still felt somewhat ashamed.

"But then again..."

Gu Manzhi hesitated and said, "Recently, the city has been in a state of panic. Your status is already sensitive, and countless eyes are watching you. If a woman of unknown origin suddenly appears by your side, I'm afraid it will attract the attention of those with ulterior motives."

"Meow!"

The cat seemed to understand what she meant, hugging its knees and curling up into a ball.

Her jet-black hair danced like seaweed, stretching out and completely enveloping her, making her look like a large ball of yarn.

After a while.

Her black hair spread out and disappeared into her body, transforming her back into the shape of a cat.

The cat blinked its heterochromatic eyes, jumped into Chen Mo's arms, and rubbed its forehead against his neck.

Seeing the two being so intimate, Gu Manzhi's eyes were a little strange, and she whispered, "My lord, you wouldn't really be with her..."

You can't blame her for overthinking it, after all, Chen Mo has a "previous record"—he even wore a fox tail when he was fooling around with Yu'er back then...

Could it be that this half-human, half-demon feeling is more exciting?

Should I get a tail to wear next time?
"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think I'm that kind of person? This is an apology to all the cat lovers in the city." Chen Mo said seriously and righteously.

To be honest, he himself was a little guilty.

After all, when I was with Xu Sizheng, I wasn't quite lucid. I vaguely sensed something, but I couldn't be completely sure.

"Really?" Gu Manzhi asked with a suspicious look.

"Ahem." Chen Mo cleared his throat and quickly changed the subject. "It's getting late. I have to go to the Demon Suppression Division later. Yu'er, call your aunt in. We need to take care of business first."

"it is good."

Yu'er nodded and turned to walk towards the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Liu Miaozhi standing outside, looking exhausted with red and swollen eyes, as if she hadn't slept all night.

"Aunt..."

Liu Miaozhi didn't say anything, walked into the room, and without saying a word, bowed deeply to Chen Mo, her forehead hitting the floor heavily.

Chen Mo frowned slightly, then flicked a gentle breeze to lift her up. "What are you doing, Madam?"

"I have heard that Chu Heng has been executed and the Yu Prince's Mansion has fallen." Liu Miaozhi tried her best to suppress her emotions, but her voice still trembled slightly. "My wife and daughter both died because of Chu Heng. We are mortal enemies! Now that our great revenge has been achieved, it is all thanks to Lord Chen!"

Back then, Madam Xu was taken away by Chu Heng and never returned, and her biological daughter, Xu Ruoyan, was even driven to hang herself.

The Xu family was targeted everywhere in the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment institution), all at the instigation of Chu Heng.

If it weren't for Chen Mo's intervention, we wouldn't have made it this far!
"Chu Heng deserved to die. I am not doing this for the Xu family. Madam, you don't need to worry about it," Chen Mo said frankly.

Even without the Xu family connection, Chu Heng would still have died; he had no intention of using this to blackmail them for favors.

Liu Miaozhi shook her head stubbornly and said, "To you, it may just be a casual thing, but to me and the Xu family, it is a debt of gratitude that is like being reborn. Even if we repay it with our life's debt, we could never repay even a fraction of it."

"I only regret that my status is lowly and my strength is meager, and there is really nothing I can do for you, sir..."

At this point, she couldn't help but feel a little down.

Kindness is like a mountain pressing down on your spine, hatred is like a fire burning your heart.

Being unable to repay kindness or take revenge was just as agonizing for her.

"Madam, please don't underestimate yourself. Actually, I do have something I need to trouble you with," Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Really?" Liu Miaozhi's expression brightened upon hearing this, and she said eagerly, "Please speak freely, my lord! My life was given to me by you, my lord. If you need it, I would not utter a single complaint even if it meant cutting out my heart and liver!"

"It's not that serious."

Chen Mo took out a stack of silver notes from his Heavenly Profound Ring and handed them to Liu Miaozhi. "There are about three thousand taels here. I need you to spend this money within a month."

?

Liu Miaozhi was stunned.

The favor Chen Mo asked him to do was just to spend money?
"Lord Chen, this..."

"Don't misunderstand, I have requirements."

Chen Mo explained, "Starting today, you will lead the Xu family to cultivate under Sect Master Ji. Apart from basic expenses, the rest of this money should be used to purchase cultivation resources. The money will be kept by you. If it's not enough, just let me know."

“I will come to check your cultivation level regularly. If anyone slacks off even slightly, I will kick them out immediately and will not give them a second chance.”

"Remember, I never support idlers."

Three thousand taels a month may seem like a lot, but you should know that there are dozens of women in the Xu family.

After Ji Lianxing's testing, the talents of most people were quite good, and there were at least ten people who were suitable for cultivation.

Among them, Yu'er, Xu Ling'er, Liu Miaozhi... all have exceptional physical attributes, and their monthly expenses are not a small amount. Moreover, as their cultivation level increases, their expenses will also increase.

It seems that three thousand taels is still a bit tight.

But there's nothing we can do. There are many places where we need money right now. The Azure Seal and the Array Plate are bottomless pits. No matter how rich the Chen family is, they can't afford to squander it like this.

Although he had the backing of the richest woman in the Nine Provinces, and could easily withdraw tens of thousands of taels of silver, the thought of using the Empress's money to support other women still made him feel uneasy. Moreover, the purpose of this money was difficult to explain.

Therefore, he will only spend money on people who are worth cultivating.

As for those who lack talent or don't work hard enough, just giving them food to eat is enough.

"It seems that relying solely on the dividends from Jinxiufang is no longer enough. It's time to explore new avenues," Chen Mo pondered, stroking his chin.

"Master Chen..."

Liu Miaozhi's eyes burned, and her heart felt heavy.

Having experienced the vicissitudes of life, she naturally understood Chen Mo's intentions.

If Chen Mo only considered them as accessories, there would be no need for such a great deal of trouble.

Now, they are sparing no expense and even inviting a first-class grandmaster to personally guide them, all to give them the ability to make a living... Such kindness can never be repaid in lifetimes.

"Oh, right." Chen Mo remembered something and said, "I said before that I would take you away from the Jiaofangsi, but the situation is still unclear and it is not advisable to act rashly. I will make arrangements with the Ministry of Revenue to prevent others from disturbing you. You can stay here in Yunshui Pavilion and cultivate in peace."

He had already prepared all the documents, intending to move the entire Xu family out.

But Chu Yanli reminded him that the Xu family's affairs were far-reaching, not just involving the Prince Yu's mansion, but also related to the current emperor.

Taking any rash action would likely bring disaster; the Jiaofangsi (Imperial Music Bureau) is actually an excellent camouflage. "I will follow your instructions, sir."

Liu Miaozhi wiped her eyes and said earnestly, "Everything I have belongs to you, sir. From now on, the Xu family will follow your lead."

Chen Mo said with a smile, "No need to be so serious. We're all family. Yu'er will definitely be married into the family in the future, and then she'll have to serve tea to the madam."

Yu'er's body contains Xu Ruoyan's soul, so it is indeed appropriate for her to call her "Mother".

"Master~"

Yu'er held Chen Mo's arm, her eyes overflowing with tenderness.

Liu Miaozhi lowered her head, her cheeks burning, feeling ashamed of her previous thoughts.

Unexpectedly, their relationship was so pure, with no prejudice whatsoever, which made her seem narrow-minded and prejudiced.

"I've basically explained everything. That's enough for now. I have other things to take care of, so I can't stay any longer." Chen Mo got up to leave.

"My lord, I'll see you off."

Gu Manzhi and Ye Henshui followed.

Liu Miaozhi gazed at Chen Mo's retreating figure, bowed deeply, and remained standing even after he had walked far away.

……

……

Outside the gate of Yunshui Pavilion.

Gu Manzhi tugged at Chen Mo's sleeve and whispered, "My lord, are you serious about marrying Yu'er?"

"Of course," Chen Mo nodded. "After following me for so long, I should finally give you a proper title."

"Besides her, what else? Have you forgotten something?" Gu Manzhi couldn't help but ask.

Chen Mo knew perfectly well what was going on, but pretended to be clueless, asking doubtfully, "No, are you talking about Xu Ling'er? I'm not familiar with her, and besides, she's Yu'er's sister, it's not appropriate..."

"Not at all!"

Gu Manzhi stomped her foot, annoyed, and said, "You know perfectly well what I'm talking about, you're clearly doing this on purpose!"

Seeing her resentful look, Chen Mo couldn't help but chuckle. It wasn't easy to make Gu Meimo so anxious.

However, he knew when to stop, reached out and put his arm around her slender waist, and said softly, "You are the apple of my eye, how could I forget you? Don't worry, there will always be a place for you in the Chen family. Even if Yu'er really marries into the family, she will still have to call you 'elder sister'."

Gu Manzhi's expression melted away like ice and snow, and she snorted softly, "That's more like it."

Of course, there's also the little white-haired creature on the side.

The girl remained silent, but her lips were so pouting they could practically hang an oil lamp on them.

Chen Mo hugged Ye Henshui in his arms and said, "You and Yu'er are considered fellow disciples. The three of you can make a table for a duel with the Lord of the Di Sect."

"What is Dou Dizhu?" Ye Henshui asked curiously.

"It's alright, I'll teach you slowly later. There are too many people around outside, you two should hurry back." Chen Mo patted their bottoms and turned to walk away amidst their reluctant gazes.

"Tch, a man's mouth is a lying devil."

The paper figure sat cross-legged on top of Gu Manzhi's head, arms crossed, and sneered, "You call this the apple of your eye... That sounds nice, but don't you know that this guy's heart is like a hedgehog's, covered in sharp thorns?"

Gu Manzhi said nonchalantly, "I don't care how many women he has, as long as he has me in his heart, that's enough."

Ye Henshui nodded in agreement and said, "I came later, so what right do I have to ask for too much?"

"Foolish! Utterly foolish!"

Ji Lianxing looked at them with anger and displeasure, "I don't know what kind of bewitching potion this guy gave you, you're so infatuated with each other, and you two are sharing a husband, you're really ruining the reputation of my Moon Radiance Sect!"

Gu Manzhi glanced at her and said quietly, "Doesn't Master know what he has done? With you here, how can anyone else tarnish the reputation of our sect?"

"..."

Ji Lianxing was taken aback, then said angrily, "You unfilial disciple, you're increasingly disrespecting your master! Besides, I was doing this for the sake of the sect's greater good, it has nothing to do with your personal feelings between men and women!"

Gu Manzhi shook her head and said, "Master, you have been busy for so many years, but there is no sign of the sect's revival. We have no people, no money, and we are almost starving. We were also almost tricked by the Gu God Sect."

"On the contrary, Chen Mo, this 'outsider,' not only helped us conceal our identities, but also retrieved the sect's treasure, the Azure Nether Seal, and now he is providing financial support."

"To be honest, if it weren't for the romantic relationship between my disciple and him, the Moon Radiance Sect probably wouldn't exist anymore, right?"

"you!"

Ji Lianxing's cheeks flushed red, but she didn't know how to refute him.

Indeed, without Chen Mo, let alone the Moon Radiance Sect, she herself wouldn't be alive now.

"Oh, right, there's something else I forgot to tell you," Gu Manzhi said. "Did you know that Chen Mo has broken through to the third rank and entered the Grandmaster realm?"

"Grandmaster?"

Ji Lianxing was stunned for a moment, "Are you kidding me?"

“This is not a joke, but a fact. Moreover, Chen Mo has comprehended more than one law. It seems that he has reached the level of ‘soul and spirit in harmony’,” Gu Manzhi said, making a startling statement.

? !
Ji Lianxing looked dazed.

Gu Manzhi had no need to deceive herself with such a clumsy lie.

In order to block the aura of the conch shell, she suppressed her own existence to the minimum, kept in the form of a paper doll, and tried not to use her primordial energy. Therefore, she did not notice the change in Chen Mo, but only felt that his aura was more restrained than before.

Who would have thought that he had attained enlightenment?

It's only been two or three days since we last met, how did this guy manage to do that?!

"It's estimated that it won't be long before Chen Mo's cultivation level catches up with Master's. At that time, you will have no bargaining power at all."

"For the sake of our sect, Master should think about how to win him over."

Gu Manzhi stabbed her in the heart again.

Ji Lianxing remained silent for a long time before letting out a cold snort: "You unfilial disciple, I don't need you to teach your master how to do things!"

After saying that, she jumped down from Gu Manzhi's head, and with her short legs, walked angrily into Yunshui Pavilion.

After Ji Lianxing left, Ye Henshui cautiously said, "Holy Maiden, didn't you go a bit too far just now? Since the sect was destroyed, Master has been under immense pressure..."

"Do you think I want to be the bad guy? But some issues can't be avoided, and we have to make things clear." Gu Manzhi sighed and said helplessly, "In the end, Lord Chen is the Consort's man, and Master is focused on revenge. The conflict will eventually erupt one day."

"Then, what should we do?" Ye Henshui asked anxiously. She didn't want to see Chen Mo and her master fight. Wouldn't it be better if everyone just lived peacefully like this?

"There is only one way, and that is to have Master sign the Golden Contract of Creation."

Gu Manzhi stroked her smooth chin with her fingers and muttered to herself, "Lord Chen is also a Grandmaster now, so he should be able to cultivate with a First-Rank cultivator, right?"

Ye Henshui: [_?]
……

……

Chen Mo walked out of the entertainment street, his hands behind his back as he weaved through the crowd.

His steps appeared light and slow, but each step covered a distance of several feet. Unlike before when he used his true energy to propel himself, this time his steps carried a mysterious charm, as if the ground beneath his feet had truly shrunk.

People around him ignored him, but unconsciously made way for him.

Chen Mo did not go to the Demon Suppression Division immediately, but instead headed towards the south of the city.

Along the way, the surrounding scenery gradually became dilapidated, and the once bustling and noisy streets were reduced to ruins.

Although the Ministry of Works and the Jingzhao Prefecture are working hard to repair the damage, the extent of the damage is too great. Even with the help of sorcerers, it will probably take several months to rebuild.

We passed through the devastated southern part of the city and arrived in the suburbs.

A temporary shelter has been set up here to accommodate the homeless people.

In this area alone, there are hundreds of open-air hospital beds, filled with the wounded. Some have been blinded by flying rocks, while others have had their legs broken by collapsed houses. Groans and cries of agony fill the air.

Dozens of doctors moved among them; due to the shortage of manpower in Kyoto, most of them were transferred from surrounding counties.

Their faces were as pale as paper, their steps were unsteady, and they were so tired that they were almost weak, but they dared not stop for a moment, drawing spirit stones while performing medical skills.

Even so, people still occasionally succumb to their illnesses and are quickly carried away after being covered with a white sheet.

The atmosphere was extremely depressing.

Seeing this, Chen Mo's face darkened, and his eyes turned cold.

The destructive power of the explosion and the consequences it caused were far more serious than he had anticipated!

What if that tunnel happened to pass by the Chen residence or the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment district)?
The consequences were something he simply couldn't bear!
"No matter who's behind this, they must pay the price." Chen Mo clenched his fists, a murderous intent surging within him. "If I don't find you and kill you, I won't be able to sleep peacefully at night..."

Just then, he spotted a familiar figure in the crowd and was taken aback.

"Ok?"

"Why is she here?"
