I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 346 Your Majesty, Empress, and Daoist Master, they are all my wings!

"Has the Empress left?"

The couple peeked behind them and, finding the room indeed empty, breathed a sigh of relief, dusted off their clothes, and stood up.

Before Chen Mo could speak, He Yuzhi grabbed his ear and twisted it.

"You brat, you really have audacity, daring to mess with just anyone!"

"Tell me, when did you and the Empress start dating? And what is your relationship with the Empress...?"

Chen Zhuo's face turned ashen, and he said coldly, "Although my Chen family is not a scholarly family, we are still a respectable and upright family. How could we have raised such a rebellious son as you?!"

He went out for a social event yesterday and didn't return until late at night. He was so drunk that he couldn't even walk straight.

Just as I lay down in bed, I heard He Yuzhi say that the Imperial Concubine was sleeping with Chen Mo in the east wing. I thought my wife was also drunk, otherwise why would she be talking nonsense?

After repeatedly confirming that it was true, he instantly came to his senses.

Hearing that Chen Mo was still having an ambiguous relationship with the Empress, his head was buzzing.

Although I had suspected this for a while, now that it's happening, it's still hard to process...

Having served as an official for many years, Chen Zhuo was well aware of what this meant.

If this matter were to reach the emperor's ears, let alone a mere third-rank official like him, even a pillar of the state would be chopped into mincemeat and thrown into the river to feed the fish!

The two stared at each other, filled with anxiety and trepidation. They didn't sleep all night and arrived at Chen Mo's door at the crack of dawn to pay their respects, fearing they might displease the Empress.

"I have lived an honest and upright life, and I have never even taken a concubine. But you, you brat, actually went to the palace to be someone's male favorite!"

"And you're running back and forth between the East and West Palaces, keeping you busy enough! You're truly disgracing the Chen family!"

Chen Mo pouted and muttered, "You don't mean you don't want to take a concubine, you just don't dare... Besides, this family of brave and valiant men was something I fought for, otherwise our Chen family would still be seen as a rebel family by others..."

"What did you say?!" Chen Zhuo glared and immediately rolled up his sleeves, ready to show his fatherly love.

"Alright, don't forget that Mo'er is a grandmaster. Hitting him is like tickling him. You'll only hurt yourself after a few moves." He Yuzhi stopped Chen Zhuo and said, "There are too many people here, let's go inside first."

"Humph!"

Chen Zhuo felt a little embarrassed, so he flicked his sleeves and walked into the room.

He Yuzhi shook her head helplessly, pulled Chen Mo behind her, closed the door tightly, sat down in a chair, and asked, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Now that things have come to this, there's no point in hiding it anymore.

But Chen Mo thought more deeply. Although the Empress seemed indifferent, how could a woman not care about her reputation?

It also concerns his image in his parents' eyes...

After a moment's consideration, Chen Mo said, "Your Highness and I are indeed quite close, but our feelings are based on affection and are kept within the bounds of propriety."

"Yesterday, Her Majesty only said she would stay at the Chen residence to spite the Empress. In fact, she returned to the palace in the middle of the night. Nothing happened... cough cough, nothing like what you're thinking."

The two looked at each other.

Nothing happened?
Judging from these words, it seems that the Imperial Concubine only harbors secret feelings for him and there is no real relationship between them?
Chen Zhuo frowned and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

“Absolutely true.” Chen Mo said solemnly, “Even if I were being ridiculous, I wouldn’t dare joke about something like this.”

"And what about the Empress?" He Yuzhi pressed, "What's going on with the Empress?"

Judging from the Empress's attitude towards Lady Sun yesterday, it's clear that the relationship between Chen Mo and the Empress is not as simple as it seems.

"This one……"

Chen Mo touched his temple, hesitated for a moment, and then told part of the truth: "Her Majesty the Empress and the Imperial Concubine have never gotten along. She noticed that the Imperial Concubine's attitude towards me was very special, so she became curious and took the initiative to approach me. As a result, we have grown closer and closer..."

"But like the Empress, he only admired her and did not overstep his bounds."

Whether it's team building, talking, causing trouble, or teasing each other... in his view, they all fall within the normal scope of social interaction, and as long as one hasn't formally enrolled in school, they don't count as overstepping boundaries.

Seeing that Chen Mo didn't seem to be lying, Chen Zhuo and He Yuzhi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In this light, the situation isn't so bad. Although it crossed a line emotionally, it doesn't constitute the crime of deceiving the emperor.

On the other hand, it's quite absurd that the two most powerful and influential women in the entire Yuan Dynasty are both infatuated with Chen Mo, and there's even a hint of jealousy between them!

Even the emperor doesn't receive this kind of treatment!

"Actually, it makes sense when you think about it carefully." He Yuzhi pondered, "Mo'er has repeatedly made great achievements, and he is a young master. He is dressed in fine clothes and riding a spirited horse. Most importantly, he is handsome, has a sweet tongue, and knows how to please women."

"In addition, His Majesty is seriously ill and the harem is becoming increasingly disaffected, which has gradually led to this situation."

Chen Zhu frowned and said, "But this is ultimately against etiquette..."

“People aren’t puppets who only follow dogma. Once emotions arise, they can’t be suppressed.” He Yuzhi shook her head and said, “As long as you keep things in check, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it.”

Do you think this kid knows what's good for him?

"Then what do you suggest? Why don't you go and talk to the Empress and the Imperial Concubine, and give them a lesson on etiquette and moral principles?"

"..."

Chen Zhuo was speechless for a moment, then turned his head away and remained silent.

He Yuzhi seemed to remember something, looked at Chen Mo, and asked, "By the way, has that Dao Venerable of Tian Shu Pavilion also fallen for you?"

When Ji Hongxiu suddenly visited the Chen residence last time, she felt something was off. This time, she took action to kill the demon lord's clone, helped Chen Mo escape danger, and even broke through to the third rank of the Celestial Realm.

She absolutely refused to believe that the two had no connection whatsoever.

Chen Mo said somewhat awkwardly, "It's similar to what Your Majesty said; it stemmed from emotion but stopped at the level of propriety."

He added in his mind, "It's just the rites of Zhou Gong..."

Dao Zun's food entered the womb much faster than that of the Empress and the Empress, but if this were said out loud, I'm afraid the two elders wouldn't be able to bear it.

Chen Zhuo said with a gloomy face, "You're quite the aphrodisiac, aren't you? And you even target Supreme beings! What do you plan to do with that Daoist Qingxuan? Are you going to try and have her as well as your disciple?"

Chen Mo whispered, "It's not impossible. If master and disciple become sisters, wouldn't that be like strengthening family ties..."

???

"Good boy!"

Chen Zhuo started rolling up his sleeves again.

He Yuzhi rubbed her temples and said, "It's no use saying anything now that things have come to this... But Mo'er, you should know in your heart that our family's temple is too small to accommodate so many big Buddhas."

"I understand," Chen Mo nodded.

To ensure that the Empress, the Queen, and the Daoist Master can coexist peacefully, one must possess corresponding strength; otherwise, a disaster is inevitable.

Fortunately, the Daoist had already been seduced by him, and the Empress was restrained by the red silk, so they wouldn't have to fight.

As for the Empress...

Thinking about this gave Chen Mo a headache.

The news that Her Majesty stayed overnight at the Chen residence yesterday must have reached the Empress's ears. Since she couldn't come directly, she's probably already on edge and is sulking in the palace.

This time, it might not be so easy to appease them.

"It's getting late, and I still have to go to the yamen to be on duty..." Chen Mo said.

"Go ahead," He Yuzhi said, waving her hand.

"Your son takes his leave." Chen Mo bowed and turned to leave the room.

The air became quiet.

Chen Zhuo's anger disappeared, his brows furrowed slightly, and he looked thoughtful.

He Yuzhi asked, "Husband, what do you think?"

“This kid didn’t tell the whole truth; he must be hiding something.” Chen Zhu tapped his fingers on the table and said, “Whether it’s the Imperial Concubine, the Empress, or the Daoist Master, they are all figures standing at the pinnacle of the Nine Provinces, with lofty ambitions. How could they be bound by personal feelings?”

"Let alone jealousy or rivalry, even if Mo'er is outstanding, there is absolutely no way that would happen."

"The fact that he can win the favor of all three of them must be because he possesses some kind of quality that no one else in the world has..."

He Yuzhi thought of Chen Mo's rapid improvement in cultivation over the past six months and his ridiculously good luck, and her heart stirred slightly.

"what do you mean……"

"Hard to say."

Chen Zhu gestured for her to be quiet, and said with a serious expression, "Even if it's true, we have to pretend we don't know, otherwise we'll be doomed... I just hope this kid's luck continues."

"Sigh..." He Yuzhi sighed, "I hope so."

……

……

Chen Mo left the Chen residence and headed towards Huaizhen Lane.

The petition to remain as a director in the Ministry of Justice has been submitted. Shi Jingchuan naturally agreed with the idea of ​​temporarily getting away from this plague, and immediately issued a reply. The study in the Qilin Pavilion would also be reserved for him, so he could go there to work at any time.

Along the way, Chen Mo's pace seemed slow but was actually swift, covering several meters in an instant, as if he could traverse space.

Ji Lianxing woke up from her dream and looked up to find that the scenery around her was rushing backward, almost stretched into thin lines, but she could not feel any resistance or wind pressure.

She peeked out from her sleeve, climbed up her arm and shoulder, rubbed her eyes, and asked groggily, "Where are we going?"

"You'll find out soon enough," Chen Mo said calmly.

Once she regained consciousness, remembering the "inhuman torture" she had suffered the previous night, Ji Lianxing was filled with rage. She said angrily, "Do you know how uncomfortable it is to be hung upside down all night? My head is still spinning! You're just taking advantage of the fact that I can't use my cultivation; otherwise, I would have definitely taught you a lesson..."

"Shut up."

Chen Mo pulled out two silver notes and threw them to her.

"Got it."

Ji Lianxing's expression changed instantly. She took the money and happily stuffed it into her belly.

However, she only remained quiet for a short while before she couldn't hold back any longer and started chattering incessantly:

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about your affair with that concubine, after all, it won't do me any good..."

"But then again, you have good taste. That woman is indeed beautiful. The only pity is that she has no cultivation."

"I think she has good potential, so I can give her some pointers. I don't expect her to become much stronger, but at least she can live longer and stay young... As for the apprenticeship fee, you can just give her a token amount."

"..."

Chen Mo's lips twitched slightly. "Alright, I'll talk to her when I have the chance and see if she's willing to become your apprentice."

"Don't forget to tell her that I am a first-rank sorcerer, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Ji Lianxing put her hands behind her back, looking like a wise and enlightened master.

Chen Mo ignored her.

If they knew the Empress's true identity, they would scare her to death.

Before long, they arrived at Tianlin Guard. Stepping through the gate, they found the officers standing in neat rows on the training ground, where roll call was in progress.

Someone shouted, "Lord Chen is here!" and everyone turned to look, all eyes focused on Chen Mo.

A brief silence fell, followed by a huge uproar!

"It really is Lord Chen!"

"What Lord Chen? Call him Lord Zhenyue!"

"First, he saved the emperor at the temple, then he beheaded the ringleader Chu Heng, and then he saved thousands of people in the southern suburbs... This is truly the glory of our Tianlin Guard. The Great Yuan cannot be without Lord Chen!"

"Thank you so much, Lord Zhenyue, for saving my family's lives!"

Disregarding all order, the crowd surged forward, their eyes filled with admiration and awe.

Chen Mo's many heroic deeds had long been known throughout the capital. Many of them lived in the southern part of the city. Thanks to Chen Mo's rescue, their families were saved from danger, and they were naturally overwhelmed with gratitude.

Ji Lianxing lay on the cat's head, looking at the frenzied crowd surrounding her with a surprised expression.

I never imagined that this person's prestige in the Tianlin Guard would be this high.
If someone had been promoted through back channels, they could never have won the hearts of the people so much.

Qin Shou pushed through the crowd and came closer. "Boss, what brings you back? You should be at the Qilin Pavilion by now, right?"

“It’s too far from home, and it’s inconvenient to go to work there. I’ll be staying at the yamen most of the time from now on,” Chen Mo said casually. Then he took out a few silver notes and handed them to Qin Shou. “The brothers have worked hard these past few days. Take them out to relax tonight.”

During the days he went missing, the Tianlin Guard and the Imperial Guard searched for his whereabouts outside the city.

The brothers of the Fire Division, in particular, worked almost non-stop, turning the entire surrounding area upside down.

"Alright, I've got it covered," Qin Shou said, patting his chest.

"Congratulations on your promotion, sir!" Qiu Longgang swaggered over, his tone effeminate, "It's only been less than two months, and you've already been promoted from deputy commander to commander, breaking the history of our Tianlin Guard for so many years. Let me bask in your good fortune."

"I'll join in too."

"Let's all mooch off each other!"

"..."

Chen Mo's eyelids twitched, and he vanished in a flash, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.

When he passed by the Huosigongtang, he saw Li Yuan busy organizing the bookshelves. Without disturbing her, he went straight to the inner bedroom.

He closed the door, set up a magic array to isolate his aura, and then took out the bronze key from his Heavenly Profound Ring.

Seeing Chen Mo's mysterious demeanor, Ji Lianxing asked in confusion, "What are you trying to do?"

"I'll take you to see the Daoist Master," Chen Mo said.

"See whom?" Ji Lianxing wondered if she had misheard.

Chen Mo didn't say much. He injected his primordial energy into the key, and with a dazzling white light, the void was torn open, forming an oval-shaped portal.

Looking at the misty mountains on the other side, Ji Lianxing was slightly taken aback.

"This is……"

Before he could react, Chen Mo had already stepped into the boundary gate.

Suddenly, everything blurred before my eyes. When I came to my senses again, I found myself in a clean little courtyard, surrounded by surging clouds, exuding an ethereal atmosphere.

"This magic weapon can actually traverse the void?!" Ji Lianxing was shocked. Anything involving the word "space" is of great significance, let alone being able to travel between two places. It is the top of the top magic weapons!
Moreover, the Central Plains are plains and there are no mountains of this scale. In other words, this place is at least several thousand miles away from the capital city!
Perhaps only a supreme being possesses such means!

At that moment, ripples appeared in the air, and a figure dressed in a white Taoist robe materialized out of thin air.

The woman's eyebrows and eyes were as delicate as spring mountains, and her deep eyes were like bottomless cold pools. Her long black hair was loosely tied up with a single mutton-fat jade hairpin, with a few strands of hair falling beside her snow-white cheeks, but it did not look messy at all. On the contrary, it made her look even more aloof and otherworldly, with a sense of detachment that kept people at a distance.

"You're here."

Ji Hongxiu put her hands behind her back and stood on tiptoe.

She looked up at Chen Mo, her eyelashes trembling slightly, stirring up a pool of autumn water, and a faint blush quietly appeared on her earlobes.

She had just been discussing matters with the sect elders at Fuyun Mountain when she noticed the commotion here, so she abandoned everyone and flew over... Actually, she had been secretly counting down the days, and she was naturally very happy that Chen Mo came to find her just after the deadline.

Chen Mo cleared his throat, cupped his hands, and said, "This junior greets the Daoist Venerable."

?

Hearing this distant tone, Ji Hongxiu frowned slightly, then realized something and looked at the paper figure on his shoulder.

"Who are you?"

"I I I..."

Ji Lianxing could barely speak, "You...you are Dao Dao Zun?!"

"You concealed your aura with your Dharma body, so even I didn't notice you at first." Ji Hongxiu narrowed her eyes, sizing her up. "So you're a magic cultivator, and a rather high one at that. There aren't many first-grade magicians in the world, and even fewer who are proficient in paper puppetry... Are you from the Moon Radiance Sect?"

Having his true nature exposed at a glance, Ji Lianxing felt a chill run down his spine and hurriedly lowered his head, saying, "I am Ji Lianxing, the sect leader of the Moon Radiance Sect. Greetings, Dao Venerable!"

Every cultivator in the Nine Provinces knows what the title "Dao Zun" means.

Even a first-grade grandmaster would find it hard to compare. Leaving aside the monstrous talent Yu Youhan, Ji Hongxiu represents the limit of Daoist cultivation!
"I remember the Moon Radiance Sect was destroyed, wasn't it? So you, the sect leader, are still alive?" Ji Hongxiu raised an eyebrow.

Ji Lianxing's cheeks flushed red, and she whispered, "It's nothing more than clinging to life."

Ji Hongxiu didn't press the matter further. She glanced at Chen Mo and said quietly, "What are you doing here with an outsider?"

Chen Mo sensed that Dao Zun was a little unhappy, and transmitted his voice, "Actually, it's like this..."

After explaining the whole story, Ji Hongxiu's expression softened, and her hostility towards Ji Lianxing lessened. She said, "Let me see that thing."

"it is good."

Ji Lianxing tore open her stomach, reached inside and groped for a moment, then took out a conch shell.

Originally only the size of a fingernail in her hand, it suddenly swelled in the wind, accompanied by violent tremors, and burst forth with golden Buddhist light, as if something was calling to it!
"Hmph, still not behaving yourself."

Ji Hongxiu snorted coldly, raised her hand and grabbed, directly extinguishing the Buddha's light!
