I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 395 When Love Reaches its Peak! The Empress's Fragrant Dress!

The Great Yuan Dynasty prohibited the private mining of red sand, so the fireworks sold by the people were not made from burning powder, but were made by cultivators who drew talismans in batches, and then activated them through spirit-gathering arrays carved on the fireworks stand.

After all, there are too many low-level cultivators in this world who are limited by their talent or resources and can never break through to the mortal realm. They can only rely on limited means to earn money and maintain the most basic survival.

The commotion didn't last long; everyone assumed it was some kind of improved talisman.

However, those two lines of poetry resonated with many people.

"To find one heart to share, and stay together until our hair turns white? These words are filled with deep affection; I wonder which lucky girl is..."

"Stop talking, I'm starting to believe in love again."

"Waaaaah, Xiaofang, I miss you."

The Queen looked up at the night sky, the brilliant words reflected in her pupils, and the surrounding noise gradually became blurred.

Only she knew that these were fireworks that belonged only to her.

"Your Highness, is it beautiful?" Chen Mo asked.

The Empress snapped out of her reverie, her eyes brimming with joy, but she deliberately kept a straight face and said, "With so many girls around you, in my opinion, that sentence is missing a few strokes. It should be 'wishing to win the hearts of many,' right?"

"To grow old together, that sounds nice, but when my hair turns white and I'm old and frail, you'll definitely find me repulsive."

The Empress wasn't deliberately looking for trouble; she was genuinely worried.

Although she was blessed with dragon energy and took the Youth Preservation Pill, which could almost keep her appearance unchanged, she was still just a mortal and could not escape the ravages of time. Meanwhile, Chen Mo was never short of young and beautiful girls around him.

As time goes by and her beauty fades, will he still like her as much as he does now?

"Your Highness doesn't believe me?" Chen Mo frowned.

The Empress's gaze darted around as she whispered, "I believe you are sincere at this moment, but people's hearts are not static. Stories of people laughing at the new while crying over the old are quite common in folk tales..."

"..."

Chen Mo said, both amused and annoyed, "What kind of toxic motivational quotes do you read all day long?"

"That's what it says in the books anyway," the Empress muttered to herself.

Chen Mo saw her concerns, took a deep breath, and said seriously, "This is not a promise I made casually, but a decision I made after weighing it countless times."

He cupped her pretty face in his hands and looked directly into her bright, clear eyes. "I know that our social statuses are vastly different, and we may face countless twists and turns and obstacles in the future, but as long as I can be with you, I don't care about anything else."

"We made a vow of life and death, to grow old together, hand in hand. What does it matter if our hair turns white? You will always be my beloved Chan'er."

"We still have so many places to go, so many delicious things to eat, and we haven't had a lovely baby yet... Life is just beginning, and there's a long road ahead."

"To hold your hand and grow old together?"

The Empress stared blankly at Chen Mo, her eyes welling up with tears.

It felt as if a warm stream of water was flowing gently through my chest, gradually filling my entire heart.

All the previous anxiety, hesitation, and fear of loss vanished, leaving only an intense and unyielding affection.

"Ugh, you always like to make people cry." The Empress rubbed her red eyes, turned her head away, and bit her lip. "And who's going to have your baby? I... I haven't decided yet!"

"Sooner or later."

Chen Mo smiled, then remembered something and said, "Oh, right, there's something else I'd like to give to Your Highness."

He took out a wooden box from his Heavenly Mystic Ring, opened the lid, and saw a white cocoon lying quietly inside.

"What is this?" the Queen asked curiously.

"This is a little gadget I accidentally obtained when I was wiping out the Gu God Cult's stronghold. It's called the 'Affectionate Gu.'" Chen Mo took the Empress's soft hand, pricked his fingertip with his true essence, dripped a drop of blood onto the cocoon, and then did the same thing again.

As the essence and blood of the two were absorbed, the cocoon began to tremble.

Before long, a golden butterfly emerged from its cocoon, its wings slowly unfurling. It was about half the size of a palm, with unique patterns etched on them.

The butterfly's wings fluttered, and it took off, swirling and dancing around the two of them, its golden phosphorescence shining like stars.

"So beautiful~"

The empress stretched out her slender hand, and the butterfly, as if possessing a spirit, landed steadily on her fingertips.

“This Gu worm doesn’t need to be fed; it feeds on emotions. As long as both parties are in love, it can live for decades without any problem,” Chen Mo said. “But if someone changes their mind, it will die within half an hour.”

"So magical?"

The Queen blinked.

She could sense that there was a faint connection between herself and the butterfly.

The Love Gu can sense joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness through fluctuations in thought. Once a rift appears in the relationship between two people, and they become indifferent and distant, it will starve itself to death.

"It's easy to deceive others, but it's hard to deceive yourself," Chen Mo said with a smile. "Now, Your Highness, are you still afraid that I will change my mind?"

The Empress's cheeks flushed crimson, and she snorted, "With Little Butterfly watching you this time, I'm naturally much more at ease. Let's make this clear from the start: if anything happens to it, I'll chop up the wicked guy you've been up to and soak him in wine!"

?

Chen Mo's lips twitched slightly. "Then it should be quite nourishing."

……

……

As the fireworks died down, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.

Chen Mo found a glass jar, put the butterfly inside, and named it "Chanbaobao".

The Empress was so fond of it that she played with it for a while before carefully putting it away close to her body.

"Now it's not just Yu Youhan and the little thief who have a special bond, I have one too!"

"Speaking of which, if I and that little thief really had a baby, what should we name it? Maybe we should ask Qi Chengze to name it a few times... Pah, pah, pah, what are you thinking? I don't want that! I've heard childbirth is incredibly painful!"

"However, if the little thief insists on having children, she can only have one, and at most two, otherwise she won't be able to feed them all..."

The Empress was lost in thought, her cheeks flushed like ripe apples, and she would occasionally chuckle foolishly.

Chen Mo was somewhat puzzled by this.

A single Gu worm could make her this happy?
"Your Highness, let's go."

"it is good."

The two strolled along the shore, gradually moving away from the noisy crowd.

Gazing at the flower boats sailing away on the river, a look of longing flashed across the Empress's face.

"Would Your Highness like to take a boat ride?" Chen Mo asked, noticing this.

The Queen hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Forget it, there are other people on the ship, it's not convenient, and we're running out of time."

News has come from Lady Sun that the entourage is fully prepared and ready to depart for the capital at any time.

"It's alright, we have our own boat."

Chen Mo took out the Cloud and Mist Dharma Boat and threw it out.

The flying boat swelled with the wind and landed steadily on the river, looking like an exquisite floating palace.

"Your Highness, please." Chen Mo said, extending his hand.

The Empress hesitated and said, "But Consort Sun is still waiting..."

"We've already waited this long, so what's a little longer?" Chen Mo said without waiting for a reply, pulling her onto the Dharma Boat.

The bow of the boat broke through the water, scattering the bright moonlight into tiny starlight fragments, and slowly drifted towards the inner city.

The Empress sat on the edge of the deck, took off her shoes, and gently swung her exquisitely carved feet. She rested her head on Chen Mo's shoulder and looked up to count the stars.

When she was in the palace, how come she never noticed how beautiful the night sky was?

"Little thief..."

"what happened?"

"Thank you for taking me out on a date, I had such a great time today!"

"Once everything settles down, we can go out on dates every day."

"Ok!"

After a while——

"Little thief, little thief."

"What is it now?"

"I want a kiss~"

Chen Mo naturally wouldn't refuse such a reasonable request, and he lowered his head to kiss her pink and moist lips.

The empress wrapped her arms around his neck and responded gently.

There were no distracting thoughts or desires, only an intense and unwavering affection.

The night was quiet, the Milky Way was dazzling, and the lights on both banks were brilliant, making it look like a beautiful painting frozen in time.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

The Empress's soft breasts rose and fell slightly as she leaned weakly against Chen Mo's chest.

Dong-dong-dong——

The sound of a clapper came from the shore; it was already past midnight, and the moment of their parting was drawing ever closer.

She hesitated slightly, looked around, and asked, "How effective is the shielding on your magic boat? Can people outside detect what's happening on board?"

"No." Chen Mo said confidently, "I personally improved the isolation array on the ship, which at least guarantees that even a second-grade grandmaster cannot see through it."

"it is good."

The Empress made up her mind and said, "Actually, I have also prepared a gift for you."

"what gift?"

"But you have to close your eyes first, and you're not allowed to peek."

"alright."

Chen Mo covered his eyes with a serious expression.

Then a rustling sound came from nearby. After a while, the Empress said softly, "It's ready..."

Chen Mo looked up and was momentarily lost in thought.

The empress removed her palace attire and put on a long, black jumpsuit. The fabric had a silky texture, which perfectly outlined her curvaceous figure, with her slender waist and full hips forming an exaggerated curve.

The skirt slit all the way down to her thigh, revealing a glimpse of fair and delicate skin.

"This is a new undergarment from Jinxiufang, they say it's called something like... Stepmother's Dress?"

The Empress, fidgeting and pressing her skirt, said with a blush, "I thought you might like it, so I secretly slipped it into the inkstone. But as soon as I arrived, I ran into Yu Youhan, so I didn't have a chance to wear it for you."

This dress was originally designed according to the empress's figure, but Chen Mo did not expect the effect to be this good!

She perfectly embodied the word "stepmother"!

"Wait a minute..."

Chen Mo noticed a dark line on the back of the skirt and curiously reached out to pull it.

With a "rip" sound, the already taut back hem burst open to the sides, instantly revealing her fair skin!
?

Chen Mo stammered, "This is..."

The Empress covered her burning cheeks and stammered, "You always find new ways to cause trouble, tearing my clothes every time. I thought it would be more convenient this way, so I... I modified it myself..."

Chen Mo's breathing became rapid, but he could no longer restrain himself and reached out to pull the Empress into his arms.

"Let's go to the room first. I feel uneasy here..."

"it is good."

Chen Mo carried her and strode towards the bedroom.

The Empress nestled in his arms, her pearly teeth nibbling at his earlobe, and murmured, "Little thief, there's not much time left. If you still want things to be like before, I'll grant your wish... but be gentle, lest someone notice..."

Chen Mo's blood was practically boiling, and he vanished in a flash.

……

……

On Jinsha Bridge.

A tall and fit woman dressed in a scholar's robe stood by the railing.

Gazing at the clear night sky, his eyes were filled with complex emotions.

"I wish to find one heart to love, and stay together until our hair turns white?"

"These ten words, simple and unadorned, perfectly express the steadfastness and persistence of lovers in the world."

"Writing is indeed the greatest invention of humankind. It can carry a rich history and express such delicate emotions. This is the foundation accumulated through countless generations."

"If you fall behind by one step, you will fall behind by every step. With such a gap, even if our race were to catch up for another thousand years, we might not be able to catch up."

A blurry figure floated beside the woman and said, "Tsk tsk, I didn't expect this kid to be such a womanizer... But he's got quite a few girls around him. I've met three or four along the way alone. How can someone be both a womanizer and a devoted lover at the same time? Isn't that a contradiction?"

“It’s normal. Admiring strength is a female’s instinct. In order to give birth to superior offspring, pure-blooded dragons can have dozens of partners at the same time.” Zhu Wujian said calmly, “Humans are the same. With Chen Mo’s abilities and talents, it is indeed easy for him to attract the opposite sex.”

"Including the Lord?" Suzaku asked, mustering his courage.

Zhu Wujian scoffed and said, "As a creature cursed by heaven and earth, whose life hangs in the balance, how can I be qualified to talk about love? As long as my bloodline continues, I will be content."

"is it?"

Zhuque looked somewhat hesitant.

She always felt that the master's attitude towards Chen Mo was not so simple.

Besides admiration, there also seemed to be a lot of curiosity, which is not a good sign...

"But wouldn't it be too risky for us to just openly enter the city like this?" Suzaku asked.

Zhu Wujian shook his head and said, "So far, my spiritual sense has not given any warning. After this matter is settled, Chu Yanli has already left Bailu City, and Yu Youhan has most likely left as well."

"Why don't we just take action and arrest them?"

"No rush. Given Yu Youhan's personality, he will most likely have a backup plan. It's not the right time yet. Let's continue to observe from the shadows."

"Yes."

At that moment, the two realized something.

He looked up at the swaying Dharma boat, his expression slightly stiffening.

"These two are..."

"Huh? You can actually do that?"

Zhuque looked slightly surprised, then stroked his chin with interest and said, "It seems my understanding of the human body is far from sufficient..."

"..."

Zhu Wujian's eyelids twitched, and he said, "Don't observe at a time like this. We're here to do serious business, not to eavesdrop. Just make sure he doesn't leave our sight."

"Yes."

Only then did Zhuque reluctantly withdraw her divine sense.

Zhu Wujian disdained such a despicable act of invading privacy, and with his hands behind his back, he followed Fazhou slowly.

"Besides Yu Youhan, I didn't expect that the Empress of the Great Yuan Dynasty also had an affair with him? The female leader of the Tian Shu Pavilion also seems to have a close relationship with him..."

"It's wise to find a backer before you grow up, but the powerful figures this guy is clinging to are way too strong! Any one of them could shake the entire land with a stomp of their foot!"

"It seems that this is indeed a difficult situation."

"Forcibly taking him would surely bring annihilation to the demon race. We must make him willingly come with me to the desolate region..."

……

……

State capital.

Night fades and dawn breaks.

A luxurious flying chariot engraved with dragon patterns was parked in front of the government office square.

Ahead of the flying chariot, the Xuanjia Guards stood in neat formation, their black armor plates resembling dark clouds, exuding a strong sense of oppression.

Not far away, a group of officials stood with their heads bowed, the crowd much thinner than before.

Their faces were pale and their expressions were solemn; they were clearly still reeling from that treacherous banquet.

Zhong Lihe stood on the street, looking around, and frowned. "Where did His Highness go? It's been so long and he hasn't returned yet. Could something have happened to him...? Should I go out and look for him?"

Lady Sun naturally understood, and shook her head, saying, "Don't rush, just wait here. His Highness will come back when he's done with his work."

whoosh-

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a whooshing sound came from afar.

A Dharma boat sped by and landed smoothly on the ground.

A long ladder descended, and Chen Mo and a "female official" walked down one after the other.

Lady Sun hurried forward to the Empress's side and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, may we depart?"

The Empress glanced at Chen Mo with reluctance, then nodded and said, "Let's go."

She had just been through a lot and her body was still a little weak. With the help of Lady Sun, she boarded the dragon-patterned flying boat.

Zhong Lihe called out loudly, "Let's go!"

"Yes!"

The Xuanjia Guards responded with a roar, their formation tightened, and the palace servants began to tidy up the ceremonial procession.

Before leaving, Chu Yanli did not tell anyone, including the Xuanjia Guards, who all thought the Princess was on the ship.

Taking advantage of this moment, Zhong Lihe came to Chen Mo, took out a bamboo scroll from his bosom and handed it to him, saying, "This is something I obtained by chance when I destroyed the Gu God Sect's stronghold. I'll give it to you, Lord Chen."

"This is……"

Chen Mo reached out and took it.

I was stunned when I saw the notification text flashing before my eyes.

[Obtained a Heaven-Rank High-Grade Cultivation Technique: The Gu Scripture (Fragment).]

A quick glance revealed that it contained the contents of the second half of the volume!
Adding the first half of the scroll in his hand, and the part deduced from the Azure Seal, it can just form a complete cultivation technique!

Furthermore, it also contains Yin Tiankuo's own notes and annotations, revealing that he had already conceived the initial idea of ​​"generating all things" long before this.

"That move was indeed quite skillful. When I fought it back then, I almost lost even though I used all my tricks."

"Moreover, in a sense, this has already touched the threshold of immortality and can be considered the ultimate supernatural power of the Gu cultivation path."

"Now that we have the foundation, we can refine and even improve it through the Azure Seal. At that time, our strength will experience a qualitative leap!"

"But these are all secondary..."

The most powerful aspect of the Gu God Cult lies in its exaggerated speed of development. As long as Gu worms are implanted into the human body, experts can be created in large numbers!
This is also the main reason why they keep resurfacing and are difficult to eradicate!
Now that Yin Tiankuo and all the elders are dead, this is likely the only remaining copy in the world. With this method, one can attract a large following, rapidly develop power, and even join the ranks of the eight major sects!

It has now been listed as a prohibited law by the imperial court!
“Zhong Gongfeng, isn’t this a bit inappropriate?” Chen Mo frowned.

“There is no good or bad in cultivation techniques; the key is the person using them.” Zhong Lihe waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry, as long as Lord Chen doesn’t make a fuss, no one will know that you have this cultivation technique. Of course, if you don’t want it, you can burn it.”

"Well... alright, thank you for your generosity, Zhong."

Chen Mo hesitated for a moment, but ultimately put it away.

Although the "Gu Scripture" is evil, some of its methods were actually very useful to him.

"I should be thanking Lord Chen," Zhong Lihe said with a smile. "It was my misjudgment that led to Yin Tiankuo's escape, which caused such a huge mess. It was Lord Chen who cleaned up my mess."

Chen Mo: "..."

Although your words are rough but the reasoning is sound, this is just too rough.

"I am a rough man and do not know any sweet talk. If Lord Chen ever needs my help in the future, please let me know and I will not hesitate." Zhong Lihe cupped his hands and turned to board the dragon boat.
