I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 366 The Second Battle! The Imperial Concubine is Back in Action!
Arriving at Chen Mo's room, Yu Youhan was about to push the door open when she suddenly stopped.

Through her divine sense, she could clearly perceive the scene inside the room, and a look of panic and disbelief appeared on her face.

These two actually...

Yu Youhan made her own assessment.

For a moment, I hesitated again.

Now she has two choices: either turn around and leave, pretending nothing happened; or push open the door and barge in to snatch Chen Mo back.

Whichever choice you make, you will have to bear the corresponding consequences...

Especially at this critical juncture, rushing in would be tantamount to asking for trouble.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally made up her mind, her blue eyes filled with determination, "The word 'retreat' does not exist in my dictionary! If even this lowly centurion is not afraid, what do I have to be afraid of?"

Unlike Jiang Yuchan, who was incompetent and only knew how to hide under the covers and wallow in self-pity!
Now that you've made up your mind, you should face it bravely, otherwise anyone might be able to ride roughshod over you in the future!
However, Yu Youhan remained rational and did not rush in recklessly. She did not want to reveal her identity before finding the "Grandmaster-level fox spirit"...

"Observe the situation first, and then act when the opportunity arises."

Her figure drifted away like mist, slipping through the crack in the door.

……

……

inside the room.

The warm yellow light cast two figures on the screen, and the air was filled with the sound of soft sobbing.

"Waaah, everything was fine last time, but this time... Are you deliberately trying to ruin me?" Li Yuan's eyes were red and brimming with tears as she choked out, "You big bad guy, I hate you so much, I never want to talk to you again!"

Chen Mo: "..."

He also felt a little strange.

Although there is a lack of support, it is still the second battle, so it shouldn't be this difficult. Judging from Li Yuan's performance, it's as if she has never experienced it before... What happened that night when she was drunk?

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, feeling as if he had overlooked something.

"But now is not the time to think about such things."

Looking at that pale face, Chen Mo did not act rashly, but first sent a wisp of life essence to her.

As the emerald light emerged, Li Yuan's expression softened, and she let out a long sigh of relief. However, as the pain subsided, a strange sensation arose, making her feel hot all over and unable to muster any strength.

"Yuan'er, are you feeling better?" Chen Mo asked softly.

Li Yuan wiped away her tears and whispered, "Much better."

"How about we call it a day? I'll take you home so you can get some rest..."

As he spoke, Chen Mo prepared to help her up.

However, Li Yuan stopped him, saying, "Wait a minute."

Chen Mo asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Li Yuan bit her lip lightly, her cheeks flushed.

If we give up halfway now that we've come this far, wouldn't all the suffering we've endured be for nothing?
"Don't move, let me do it myself."

"Are you sure? All right then."

Chen Mo nodded and did not refuse.

Li Yuan braced herself against the edge of the bathtub with both hands, her brows slightly furrowed.

Just as she took a deep breath, preparing to sit down, everything suddenly went black, and she completely lost consciousness.

"Eh?"

"What about people?"

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment.

Just moments ago, Li Yuan was right in front of him, but in the blink of an eye, she vanished without a trace, and he couldn't even sense a fluctuation of her aura.

what's the situation?
Just then, a faint voice came from behind:

"Tsk, Lord Chen really has a refined taste."

? !
Chen Mo's body stiffened, and he suddenly turned his head to look.

A tall, elegant woman in a plain white silk dress stood against a screen, her black hair tied up with a white jade hairpin. Her sharp, phoenix-shaped eyes stared at him with a hint of mockery.

"Mother, Your Majesty?!"

He rubbed his eyes hard to make sure he wasn't dreaming.

Gazing at the face he had longed for day and night, he could no longer suppress the surging emotions in his heart. He suddenly stood up, splashing water everywhere, and strode over to Yu Youhan, reaching out to hug her tightly.

[_?]
Yu Youhan had originally wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks to him, but this sudden hug left her speechless, unable to utter a single word.

"Your Majesty, I miss you so much."

Chen Mo held Yu Youhan tightly, burying his face in her neck, and said in a muffled voice, "Before coming to the Southern Frontier, I went to the palace specifically to look for you, but Chief Minister Xu said you had left the palace on business... I don't know how long this trip south will take before I can return, and I thought I wouldn't be able to see you for at least a few months..."

As he poured out his longing, Yu Youhan's gaze softened, and she scoffed, "You talk a good game, but you're quite the ladies' man. You're always busy with cases, probably already lost in your own world and have forgotten all about me."

"How could that be? I even dreamt of you last night," Chen Mo said, raising his head with a serious expression.

last night?

Yu Youhan's expression froze, and she awkwardly looked away, muttering, "I know you well enough to know what absurd things you're dreaming about..."

Well, that's a bit absurd.

Chen Mo cleared his throat awkwardly and asked, "By the way, why did Your Highness suddenly come here? Did Hong Ling's condition flare up again?"

Logically speaking, Li Yuan is a martial arts cultivator, so she shouldn't cause too strong fluctuations in Dao power.

Yu Youhan said calmly, "Even a broken ship has three pounds of nails. The Gu God Sect has been rooted in the Southern Frontier for many years and is not easy to deal with. You didn't bring many people with you, and if you underestimate them, something unexpected might happen. That's why I came to check on things along the way..."

Chen Mo blinked. "Is Your Highness worried about this humble servant?"

Yu Youhan turned her head away and said coldly, "Don't flatter yourself. I've already said I'm just passing by. Seeing you still having the leisure to act recklessly, I don't need to make a fool of myself. I'll be leaving soon... um..."

Before she could finish speaking, a pair of large hands cupped her jade-like cheeks, and then her cherry lips were sealed with a kiss.

A blush crept up her cheeks and up to her ears. Her strength seemed to be drained away little by little. All the dissatisfaction that had accumulated over the past few days was thrown to the back of her mind. She put her hands on her shoulders, tilted her long neck back, and let him do whatever he wanted.

It was unclear how much time had passed before Chen Mo finally released her.

Yu Youhan's eyes were misty with tears, her soft chest heaving as she leaned weakly against him.

"Can we stay?" Chen Mo asked earnestly.

"No," Yu Youhan shook her head and said, "We still have to leave."

Seemingly unable to bear seeing his disappointment, Yu Youhan raised her head, gently biting her earlobe with her pearly teeth, her breath sweet as orchids, "However, I can wait until morning to leave..."

Chen Mo glanced out the window; the east was already faintly glowing with rosy clouds, and the time left for the two of them to spend together was running out.

A moment of bliss is worth a thousand pieces of gold, and he didn't want to waste a single second. He reached out and lifted the empress up by the waist, then carried her towards the bed.

The candlelight flickered, casting interplay of light and shadow.

A light gauze curtain hung down, and Yu Youhan leaned lazily against the headboard. Her skirt was lifted up, revealing a pair of snow-white and slender legs. Her pink and delicate bare feet were slightly curled up, making her look very cute.

Chen Mo held the foot arch with extremely gentle movements, as if he were playing with some rare treasure.

As my fingertips caressed my calves upwards, the delicate skin slightly sunken, revealing a subtle blush.

Yu Youhan's cheeks flushed even more as she whispered, "Tie me up."

?

Chen Mo didn't react for a moment and asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, what did you say?"

"If I'm not mistaken, you should have a way to activate the Red Silk on your own, right?" Yu Youhan's eyes shimmered as she said softly, "It will be dawn in less than two hours. This time will belong only to the two of us..."

"This time, I want to be tied up by you."

As she spoke, she sat up and untied the belt around her waist.

Her long dress slid down, revealing a flawless, exquisite body, her delicate collarbones accentuated by a proud curve, her waist cinched to its extreme, like a willow swaying in the breeze. Further down, a glimpse of white lace could be vaguely seen…

Chen Mo's throat tightened, and his heart began to race uncontrollably.

This was the first time the Empress had made such a request, so he naturally wouldn't refuse. His gaze fell on the red mark on the Empress's wrist, and his mind slowly sank into it. A red ribbon composed of countless red dust particles, which only he could see, appeared out of thin air.

One end was tied to the empress's wrist, and the other end was held in his hand.

He tentatively pulled it—

Swish!
The red ribbon quickly spread across Yu Youhan's body.

But she seemed to change her posture unintentionally, turned around, lowered her waist, bent her knees and lay on the couch, the full moon arc facing Chen Mo, and was then tied up tightly.

Before Chen Mo could react, a white porcelain bottle fell out of nowhere and rolled right in front of him.

"This is?"

He reached out, picked it up, and opened the bottle. A fragrance of roses filled the air.

It was the half-bottle of essential oil that I used when I massaged the Empress back then. I never expected that the Empress would always carry it with her.

Yu Youhan buried her face in the pillow, her ears turning bright red, and said in a trembling voice, "I only told you to tie me up, not to do anything reckless. You must know your limits... especially what you did to that little centurion, that absolutely cannot happen to me!"

"..."

Could the prompt be made any more obvious?

If Chen Mo can't even understand the implied meaning in someone's words, then he's wasted all these years!
Half an hour later, a suppressed sob began:

"Hmm... I already said, you're not allowed to do that... You dog servant, have you taken my words for granted?"

"Your Majesty, I truly love you!"

"Don't give me that... Today was just an accident, and it's the last time..."

"Your Majesty is crying, let me wipe it for you..."

"Don't touch it!"

"What are you laughing at? Chen Mo, are you feeling smug?!"

……

……

The sky was turning white as dawn broke.

The Empress finally left, leaving behind only the rich fragrance of osmanthus blossoms filling the room.

Chen Mo sat by the window, watching the night gradually fade away, feeling as if he were in a dream.

Although he had considered this possibility before and had even mentioned it to the Empress, he had never held out much hope. He never expected that the Empress would actually take the initiative to grant his request this time…

If he hadn't still had that porcelain bottle in his hand, he would have seriously doubted that it was all just an illusion!
"As expected of Her Majesty, she is no less than Saintess Gu, and may even surpass her!"

"It must have been because of Yuan'er that he kept asking me whether I liked her or Li Yuan more when things got heated..."

"But then again, I feel like Her Majesty is adapting too quickly, and this feeling is somewhat familiar, just like last night... Could it be?"

Chen Mo couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

In any case, my relationship with the Empress has become even closer.

Although the Empress repeatedly emphasized that this was the last time, in his experience, the last time was always the next time...

As dawn broke, Chen Mo changed his clothes, got up, and left the bedroom.

The others also came out of their rooms and gathered on the deck.

Li Yuan staggered, her head spinning, feeling as if she had been hit on the head with a club.

She approached Chen Mo and whispered in his ear, "My lord, what happened last night? I can't remember anything..."

All I remember is that the two of us were in the bathtub, about to forcefully open her anus, when I was suddenly forced to shut down. When I opened my eyes again, it was morning...

Chen Mo remained expressionless and said, "You were probably too tired, and on top of that, you were so emotional that you blacked out. I saw you were sleeping too soundly, so I took you back to your room."

"is it?"

Li Yuan scratched his head.

Can you black out even without drinking?
It's almost too much of a coincidence that every time I try to have a deeper conversation with an adult, something unexpected happens...

Step, step, step——

Ye Zi'e and Xu You climbed the steps and arrived at the bow of the boat.

Xu You was no longer wearing the black robe, but instead a plain white dress. As she walked, the hem of the dress fluttered, revealing a section of her fair legs, and she exuded a youthful and vibrant aura.

She changed her previous aloof attitude and took the initiative to come up to him, greeting him sweetly, "Good morning, Lord Chen."

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, and said, "Officer Xu seems to be in a very good mood?"

A blush crept across Xu You's cheeks. She put her hands behind her back and looked down at her toes. "It's alright. I dreamt about my man last night. He said my favorite person is me..."

"..."

Chen Mo shook his head.

Just two days ago I was full of complaints, but now I'm so happy just because I had a dream?

Women's thought processes are indeed hard to understand.

"Alright, let's get ready to go back to the county town."

Once everyone was assembled, Chen Mo steered the flying boat toward Fengmu County.

……

……

By this time, the town was in complete chaos, and the news of the incident that happened to the Li family last night had spread throughout the entire county.

Upon learning that the generous and righteous Master Li was actually a remnant of the Gu God Cult, and that he had even poisoned the food and drink with Gu poison, intending to use the people of the city as "nutrients" to cultivate his bacteria, everyone's first reaction was disbelief.

But the mutated corpses of the Li family are a bloody fact.

Those who had attended the banquet a few days earlier were terrified when they learned that they also had Gu worms in their bodies and would eventually meet the same end. They all gathered at the county government office, wailing and lamenting, creating a scene resembling the end of the world.

"Sir, help me!"

"I have elderly parents and young children to support; I absolutely cannot die!"

"Your Honor, please save my son! He's only eight years old!"

Listening to the deafening commotion outside, Ji Weifeng sat on the public chair and rubbed his temples in frustration.

The number of people involved this time is far greater than he imagined.

Because the Li family specifically stated that they could pack up any leftovers and take them home, many poor people couldn't afford such good food all year round, so most of them would choose to take it back to share with their families, which led to a further increase in the number of people infected with the curse.

A rough estimate suggests that it's already approaching the 20,000 mark!

"Sir, is there any news from Lord Chen?" Ji Weifeng asked cautiously, completely losing his composure at this point.

Since Chen Mo and the others went to hunt down Li Chichang last night, they haven't returned yet, making him restless. He can't bear this blame alone!
If anything were to happen to these people, he would be a sinner in the entire Toyogi Prefecture!

They will bear the infamy for all eternity!
"Rest assured, with the two commanders working together, everything will be foolproof."

No sooner had Lu Shuyuan finished speaking than the whooshing sound of a flying boat came from outside. A smile appeared on his lips. "See, what did I tell you? Lord Chen is back!"

He lifted his leg and walked towards the exit of the courtroom, with Ji Weifeng following closely behind.

Upon arriving at the front plaza, they saw a luxurious flying boat suspended in mid-air, with several figures descending from the sky, including Chen Mo and Ye Zi'e.

Chen Mo had barely landed and hadn't even stood up properly when Ji Weifeng slid down to his knees and came to him.

His voice trembled, and tears streamed down his face.

"Sir, save me!"
