I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 363 Little Concubine, Do You Like My Great Killer Arm?

"I have long admired Commander Chen's name. I would like to offer you a toast!"

"Dry!"

"Great! You have a huge capacity for tolerance!"

The courtyard was bustling with activity.

Upon learning Chen Mo's identity, everyone was astonished. They never expected that this scholarly-looking young man was actually the renowned Lord Chen of the Southern Frontier! Moreover, at such a young age, he had already been promoted to the rank of Commander of the Tianlin Guard!

Such a person actually came to Toyogi Prefecture?

It's like a dream!
After all, the other party's reputation was too great, so they didn't dare to approach him rashly at first. It was only after seeing him and Magistrate Ji exchanging toasts that someone tentatively came over to offer a toast.

Unexpectedly, this Lord Chen was a free-spirited and unpretentious man, with no airs whatsoever, and he accepted almost everyone who came.

Seeing this, more and more people came over to offer toasts, forming a long queue around the table. The sounds of clinking glasses filled the air, gradually pushing the atmosphere to a climax.

"Good wine!"

Chen Mo's cheeks were flushed, as if he were really drunk.

Li Yuan, however, sat upright with an expressionless face, not touching a single bite of the food or wine on the table.

"This must be Commander Li, right? I'd like to offer you a toast as well." Ji Weifeng was a bit drunk, swaying as he walked towards Li Yuan with his wine cup in hand.

Snapped--

Suddenly, a large hand pressed down on his wrist.

Ji Weifeng looked up and saw Chen Mo staring at him with a smile, saying, "She never drinks alcohol, and she has official business to attend to later. I'm afraid she might make a mistake if she drinks too much."

"I...I understand." Ji Weifeng shrank his neck, feeling a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason, but quickly returned to normal, as if it were just an illusion.

"Lord Ji, let's continue drinking!"

"Okay, come again!"

Servants carrying food trays moved among the tables, which were filled with steaming dishes, and wine was brought up one jar after another.

It is said that in order to host this banquet, Master Li contracted all the restaurants in the city, and spent thousands of taels just on various ingredients. Moreover, he did not accept any money from the guests. Over the course of several days, countless people have come to eat and drink.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it charity.

Holding half a chicken leg in his hand, one foot on a stool, his mouth greasy, Feng Liu stretched his neck and said, "Lord Chen was personally led into the city by me. We chatted all the way, and he even affectionately called me Brother Liu..."

Everyone at the table looked on with envy.

In Tiannan Prefecture, you might not know Tianlin Guard, but it's impossible for you not to know Chen Mo.

The eradication of the evil cult in Linyang County, the slaying of the Blood Demon in the Ten Thousand Mountains, and the rescue of tens of millions of people from suffering are all real achievements! To be able to exchange a single word with such a person would probably make you laugh in your sleep!

"Sixth Brother, tell me in detail, what did Lord Chen talk to you about?"

"Hey, then we'll have a lot to talk about..."

Surrounded by the crowd, Feng Liu was full of pride and his back straightened a bit.

thump—

At that moment, a gong sounded, and the scene immediately fell silent.

Everyone turned to look and saw a line of maids filing out from the inner courtyard, standing in two rows, each carrying a red lantern.

Step, step, step——

With steady footsteps, Lee Ji-chang stepped out.

Wearing a six-cornered hat, pink-soled boots, flowers, and a red sash, she was dressed exactly like the groom.

Four sedan chair carriers carried a small blue sedan chair, following steadily behind.

Arriving at the center of the courtyard, the sedan chair slowly came to a stop.

Lee Ji-chang personally reached out and lifted the sedan curtain, "Yun'er, come down."

"Um……"

A pair of fair, delicate hands supported his arm, and he stepped out in light blue embroidered shoes.

The upper body is made of lotus-colored soft satin with dark patterns, and the cuffs are trimmed with silver thread and orchids. The lower body is paired with a moon-white horse-face skirt, with a few swimming fish embroidered in light blue thread. A silver magnolia hairpin is worn diagonally in the hair.

Seeing that face, Chen Mo finally understood why Feng Liu had said, "My soul has been stolen away."

With rosy cheeks, almond-shaped eyes, and arched eyebrows, her face resembled a freshly peeled water chestnut, adorned with two shallow dimples.

Her nose was small and pert, her lips were naturally red, and she possessed the gentle temperament of someone from the Jiangnan water towns. Her eyes, clear and bright, were timid and gave people a feeling of pity.

She is indeed a rare beauty.

Whether it was the alcohol or not, everyone felt their hearts pounding and their blood rushing to their heads.

"This humble servant greets Your Excellency." Huang Nianyun gracefully bowed.

"it is good!"

Li Chichang, beaming with joy, looked around and said loudly, "My Li family is overjoyed with the addition of a new member to our household and fortunate to receive assistance from the inner quarters. Therefore, we have prepared a small banquet, and we are grateful for the presence of our distinguished relatives and friends."

"Come, let's drink this cup together! Tonight, we won't leave until we're drunk!"

Having said that, he picked up the wine glass on the table and downed it in one gulp.

"Congratulations, Master Li!"

"Double happiness!"

"Congratulations to the Li family on its prosperity and flourishing incense offerings!"

The guests offered their congratulations, and the atmosphere became increasingly lively.

After greeting the guests, Li Chichang led Huang Nianyun to Chen Mo and introduced him, "Nianyun, this is Lord Chen Mo, a great hero of Tiannan Prefecture!"

"This humble servant greets Your Excellency." Huang Nianyun curtsied.

"Chief镖李 is truly blessed." Chen Mo's eyes flashed with a purple-gold light as he brazenly sized her up, raising an eyebrow at the slightly protruding belly beneath her long dress. "Is Madam Huang pregnant?"

Huang Nianyun seemed a little uncomfortable and quietly took two steps back, hiding behind Li Chichang.

Li Chichang scratched his head and chuckled, "This little girl has never seen such a big scene before, so it's understandable that she's a bit shy. Please don't take offense, sir... To be honest, I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you, but I'm already this old, and Yun'er is still able to give me a child. I'm overjoyed, otherwise, how could I have made such a big scene?"

Chen Mo had also heard Ji Weifeng mention this matter.

Since his wife died young, Li Chichang never remarried.

Although she was taken as a concubine this time, she was treated as the principal wife.

However, because of the large age difference, they were afraid of being laughed at, so they did not go through the traditional marriage ceremony.

"This is good news." Chen Mo said, "Come, give the concubine a seat, be careful not to upset the baby."

“Sit here with me.” Li Yuan immediately stood up, pulled Huang Nianyun over without saying a word, put her hands on Huang Nianyun’s shoulders, and pressed her down into the chair.

Li Chichang frowned. "Lord Chen, what is this...?"

Chen Mo ignored him, staring straight at the beauty beside him, and said with a smile, "Auntie doesn't look too well. Have you been working too hard lately?"

"Really?" Huang Nianyun subconsciously touched her face.

"It's quite a coincidence that I have some medical knowledge, so I can check your pulse."

"I wouldn't dare trouble you, sir..."

"It's not a big deal. It's just a simple matter."

Before Huang Nianyun could refuse, Chen Mo grabbed her fair wrist, closed his eyes slightly, and began to take her pulse in a serious manner.

Li Chichang's face was ashen, his fists clenched tightly. Seeing Huang Nianyun shake her head slightly, he finally calmed down and stood silently to the side.

?

Ji Weifeng also realized something was wrong at this point.

Who comes to a banquet and immediately touches the wrist of someone's concubine?

Although he felt it was inappropriate, Chen Mo's status was far above his own, and even Chief Escort Li hadn't said anything, so he couldn't just meddle.

A touch of color returned to Huang Nianyun's cheeks as she asked softly, "Has my lord noticed anything unusual about my body?"

"The pulse is slippery, rapid, and continuous, indicating a strong pregnancy." Chen Mo seemed to have discovered something and said with some surprise, "The pulse at the cun position is particularly strong, indicating that the due date is very close. Is she already so far along in her pregnancy? I really couldn't tell from her appearance."

Huang Nianyun tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said shyly, "Your prediction was very accurate. I am more than seven months pregnant, but I am not showing much yet."

"Well, everything else is fine, it's just this fetus..." Chen Mo hesitated, then stopped.

Huang Nianyun hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the fetus?"

"A Heavenly Corpse Gu is secretly planted in the navel, its blood serving as a warm bed and its flesh as a cage. Even as its form perishes, it does not regret bearing the sins of heaven. When all the Gu are complete, the mother's life ends." Chen Mo sighed and said, "To raise Gu, you are willing to risk your own life. Is it really worth it for you?"

The moment these words were spoken, the air fell into a deathly silence!

Huang Nianyun and Li Chichang's expressions changed simultaneously!
Their shock wasn't because their identities had been exposed, but because of those four lines of poetry!

That somewhat imperfect poem is exactly the opening outline of the "Blood Body Containing Gu Technique" in the "Gu Scripture," word for word!
How could Chen Mo, a mere martial arts practitioner, possibly know about Gu techniques?!
wow-

The Li family members, who had just been enthusiastically toasting each other, suddenly lost their focus and seemed like completely different people.

They then surrounded him, expressionless, their hands on the hilts of their swords, completely sealing off any possible angles. However, Chen Mo seemed oblivious to this, asking, "Aunt Huang, am I right?"

Huang Nianyun snapped out of her daze and said innocently, "This concubine doesn't understand what Lord Chen is saying..."

Just as she was about to stand up, Chen Mo gripped her wrist tightly, like an iron clamp, and she couldn't break free at all.

"My lord, you're hurting me." Huang Nianyun struggled weakly, her eyes filled with large tears, looking pitiful.

"Knowing why I'm here, you still dare to show yourself. There are only two possibilities," Chen Mo said, enunciating each word clearly. "Either you're trying to buy time, or you think you've got me cornered?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Nianyun paused, stopped struggling, and calmed down.

Since the other party can recite the original text of the "Gu Scripture", there is no point in continuing to pretend.

"I'm very curious, how did Lord Chen figure it out?" Huang Nianyun said in a deep voice. She hadn't thought she could hide it for long, but the speed at which it was exposed was far too fast. She was completely seen through almost as soon as they met.

"Once you understand your logic, everything else is easy to guess. Besides, although you have a delicate appearance, you can't fool my eyes."

"However, you are quite clever. In order to avoid revealing any flaws, you did not directly put the Gu in the food and wine, but instead chose to plant eggs and let the Gu worms hatch inside the human body."

"Although it takes more time, it's discreet enough that I almost didn't even notice it."

Chen Mo picked up the wine cup, condensed his true energy, and the wine in the cup quickly evaporated.

A white dust particle, barely visible to the naked eye, floated up from the bottom of the cup and hung in the air.

"The Flesh Fungus Gu, also known as the Gentle Curse, causes those afflicted to fall into a dreamlike state, where they become completely rigid in a state of extreme bliss, transforming into a [Flesh Fungus Tree], which ultimately refines living people into spiritual materials."

"The putrefactive fungi that grow on it have the ability to regenerate flesh from bones, and the more blood and flesh they absorb, the better the effect."

As Chen Mo spoke, a shadow crossed his eyes.

The other party was indeed trying to help Yin Tiankuo rebuild his physical body.

For him, the Flesh-Gel Gu posed no harm, being annihilated by his true essence the moment it entered his body. But ordinary people or low-level martial artists had absolutely no means of countering it...

The Li family held lavish banquets for several consecutive days, and at least ten thousand people in the city have already been infected.

To find a solution, we must first lure out the mastermind. His heavy drinking earlier was intended to lower their guard.

"As expected of Lord Chen, who is a genius at solving cases, his observation is indeed meticulous." Huang Nianyun exclaimed, "As a martial arts practitioner, he has such a deep understanding of the methods of my Gu God Sect. It seems that my father's death was not unjust."

"Oh? Who is your father?" Chen Mo asked curiously.

Huang Nianyun said, "My father's name is Jiang Qiyuan. Lord Chen is a man of high status and may have forgotten things long ago."

"So it's him?"

Chen Mo suddenly realized.

Jiang Qiyuan was the Grand Elder of the Southern District of the Gu God Sect. He had fought with her in Linyang County, but later the Empress came to his door and wiped out the entire mountain and thousands of sect members.

Moreover, Jiang Qiyuan had a brief "cooperative" relationship with Ji Lianxing.

Even the half of the "Gu Scripture" in his hand was obtained by Ji Lianxing from him...

Unexpectedly, she is the daughter of an "old friend"?
"So, Huang Nianyun isn't your real name either?"

"My name is not important. Lord Chen should worry more about his own situation."

call--

A night breeze swept by, the clouds that had lingered on the horizon dispersed, and the silvery moonlight poured down.

Under the glow of countless red lanterns, the bright moonlight was tinged with a hint of blood.

Suddenly, the noisy courtyard fell silent. Everyone sat motionless, their eyes unfocused, and a dazed smile on their lips. The scene looked quite eerie.

Their skin developed rough textures, their joints gradually stiffened, and under the influence of the Gu worms, their bodies began to "become trees."

click-

A series of cracking sounds rang out as Huang Nianyun's body twisted and swelled, countless bulges writhing beneath her beautiful face, and her once clear voice became hoarse and shrill.
"I have already voluntarily sacrificed my body for the leader, and I thought I would never have a chance to take revenge in this lifetime. I never expected that you would take the initiative to come to the Southern Frontier and even appear in front of me. Is this the will of Heaven?"

"Since you're here, then leave your lives behind!"

"Do it!"

Huang Nianyun shouted sharply, and the Li family members sprang into action.

The bodyguards, controlled by the Gu worms, drew their weapons and slashed directly at Chen Mo.

Swah——

A blazing blade flashed, and blood spurted out instantly!

Chen Mo remained seated in the chair, motionless.

Li Yuan stood in front of him, her nearly two-meter-long Mo Dao gleaming coldly, a drop of scarlet blood slowly dripping down the blade.

Four mutilated corpses lay on the ground in front of him.

Lee Ji-chang's two sons were cut in half at the waist the moment they met!

Li Chichang sneered and said disdainfully, "What a waste of effort! The methods of my Holy Sect are not something that you martial artists can contend with."

The "corpse" actually got up from the ground on its own and reassembled itself, with worms embedded in the wound, turning it into a two-headed, four-armed monster!

"Roar!"

The monster, wielding swords in all four hands, roared as it pounced!

Li Yuan remained expressionless, exhaling white steam as a wisp of black flame ignited from the blade, his eyes filled with intense killing intent.

Myriad Calamities Blade: Wildfire!

boom!
The raging flames instantly engulfed everyone!
While a fierce battle raged nearby, Chen Mo was still observing Huang Nianyun with great interest.

At this point, she was no longer recognizable as human. White bone spurs pierced through her body, with dripping flesh and blood still hanging on them. Countless white worms wriggled on her body, making her look extremely gruesome.

The bone spurs continued to grow, covering the entire courtyard like an umbrella.

The sharp tip pierced the bodies of the guests present, sucking their flesh and blood. Their bodies became shriveled, while her abdomen bulged high. Through her translucent skin, one could see yellow liquid accumulating inside.

One after another, the flesh worms fell into it, their bodies quickly rotting, and strands of bacteria began to form.

This is the "fetus" she is carrying.

"call……"

Huang Nianyun took a deep breath, a look of pleasure appearing on his ugly face.

After absorbing a large amount of essence and blood, her energy surged, and she was intoxicated by this powerful feeling.

Although it's only temporary, and she will eventually be devoured by the Gu worms and become nourishment for the [Flesh Fungus], it's enough for her at this moment.

"There was no need to rush, but for you, I'd rather live a little less." Huang Nianyun stared coldly at Chen Mo, sneering, "It's so good to see you, hahaha!"

“I don’t quite understand,” Chen Mo shook his head and said, “Who gave you the confidence to think you have me figured out?”

"Hehe, since you know that the Flesh Fungus Gu can repair the physical body, you should also know that in this [semi-tree-like] state, I am almost immortal! Even a Grandmaster would not have a good chance of survival!"

Huang Nianyun said smugly, "What do you think you can do against me, a mere fourth-rank martial artist? Today, I will use your life to comfort my father's spirit in heaven!"

Chen Mo put down his wine glass. "Then who told you that I am a fourth-rank official?"

"Ok?"

Huang Nianyun's expression froze.

Then, to her horrified gaze, endless black mist spread out, and Chen Mo's figure disappeared.

Then, two scarlet lights shone.

boom--

The ground trembled, and a colossal creature stepped out.

Its entire body was formed from black mist, with raging flames burning on its surface. Six arms on its back were waving, with the words "anger," "pride," "madness," "hatred," "desire," and "killing" engraved on its palms.

Chen Mo, who was unleashing the full power of the Six-Armed Demon Form for the first time, stretched his limbs and said with great interest, "Immortal and indestructible, huh? I hope you can last a little longer and don't disappoint me."

……

……

"What...what's going on?!"

Ji Weifeng hid behind a pillar, staring in disbelief at the scene.

He originally thought Chen Mo was really there to attend the banquet, but things had turned out this way. What he didn't expect was that the Li family actually had a problem!

Even a fool could see that Li Chichang and Huang Nianyun were remnants of the Gu God Cult!

"According to Lord Chen, the food and wine were poisoned with Gu worms, which is why they look like this..."

Looking at the dazed people, Ji Weifeng swallowed hard.

The issue is……

He drank quite a bit tonight, so why is he alright?
Moreover, Lord Chen's terrifying appearance with his raging demonic flames looks even more sinister than that of the Gu God Cult's demons.
