I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 5 Chen Mo’s “intentions”?
Gu Manzhi sat there like a sculpture.

All the puzzles now have answers.

It turns out that Chen Mo came here today to express his feelings to her?

He knew everything, but he still chose to break off the engagement, just to be with me?
The two people's positions are incompatible. This action is tantamount to a moth flying into a flame, and they even disregard their own lives!

But I didn't even give him a chance to confess...

"why?"

Gu Manzhi looked confused.

Intrigue and deception.

She grew up in this kind of environment and has long been accustomed to it.

Don't trust anyone and never give your heart to anyone - this is the rule of survival that her master taught her, and she has always followed it.

But when I recalled Chen Mo’s cold eyes and the last words “we are even now”, my heart ached.

The gray-robed man didn't notice her abnormality and continued to talk to himself, "Your identity has been exposed. Leave Tiandu City as soon as possible. I will take over the rest."

"I have to deal with your mess. It's really not easy for me..."

Gu Manzhi came back to her senses and looked up at the man in gray robe, "Why are you here?"

"I told you, just to make fun of you..."

The gray-robed man paused.

Gu Manzhi was seen holding a jade talisman in her hand, her eyes full of murderous intent.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't get excited."

"It's okay to tell you. Master sent me here."

The man in gray robe took out a wooden box from his arms.

When you open the lid, a fishy, ​​sweet and sticky smell emanates.

There was a thumb-sized red fleshy worm lying inside, with no eyes or nose, and its sharp teeth kept opening and closing like petals, which was chilling.

"This is... the Heart-Eating Gu?!"

Gu Manzhi's heart skipped a beat and she remembered what Chen Mo had said.

The gray-robed man nodded and said, "This is what our master brought from the Southern Wilderness, specially prepared for your little lover."

This creature was bred by the Gu God Cult. It is extremely poisonous. It parasitizes in the heart of living things and feeds on the blood in the heart veins.

When it grows to a certain size, it will swallow the heart and replace it.

At that time, the host will become a puppet controlled by anyone, and his life and death will depend on the caster's thoughts!

Gu Manzhi was silent for a moment, her voice dry, "Didn't Master say that it would be enough to just seduce him with beauty? Why do you need to use this kind of thing?"

"People's hearts can change. Who can guarantee that he will always be devoted to you?"

"If we want to deal with Yu Youhan, the Chen family is a crucial link and cannot be lost."

"Only by completely controlling Chen Mo can we carry out the next plan. Master is worried that you can't do it, so he arranged for me to plant the poisonous insect..."

Gu Manzhi could no longer hear what was said afterwards.

She seemed to have been drained of all her strength. She sat there slumped, her eyes blank and empty.

"We are done with our grudges?"

"It seems that I owe him too much..."

……

East of the city.

The mansions are arranged in an orderly manner, with terraces and pavilions at every level and deep courtyards.

Most of the high-ranking officials and wealthy families are concentrated here. Compared with the hustle and bustle of the outer city, this place seems quiet and leisurely.

A house with three entrances and three exits is located in it, with a plaque with the word "Chen" hanging in front of the door.

There are several armchairs in the hall, which is decorated in a simple, plain and elegant style.

Sitting on the main seat was a man in a purple robe, with a sharp face, a goatee, sharp and deep eyes, and an aura of majesty without even being angry.

One of the three most important officials in the Censorate, Chen Zhuo, a third-rank official of the current dynasty.

Next to him was a middle-aged beauty, plump and beautiful, with a graceful temperament. From the charm between her eyebrows and eyes, it was not difficult to tell that she was also a top-notch beauty when she was young. The direct descendant of Yanyu Pavilion, the martial arts master, He Yuzhi.

"Did this rebellious son go to the Jiaofangsi to fool around again?"

"He even dared to tear up the marriage certificate. When he comes back, I will break his legs!"

Chen Zhuo said in a deep voice.

"You can't force feelings. Since Mo'er doesn't like it, it's just a piece of waste paper. Just tear it up."

He Yuzhi said calmly, her voice gentle and pleasant.

"This is a marriage contract made by our ancestors. How can we treat it like a joke?"

"My Chen family and the Shen family have been friends for generations. Now that this rebellious son has done something like this, how can I face Brother Shen in the future?"

Chen Zhuo became angrier and slammed the table. "You've spoiled him all! Don't you understand the principle that spoiling a child is like killing him? It's true that loving mothers often spoil their children..."

"Ok?"

He Yuzhi raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at him sideways.

Chen Zhuo shuddered and changed the subject, "Ahem, of course, I also have an unshirkable responsibility."

He Yuzhi said quietly, "So, didn't your father oppose us being together back then? He insisted that you marry the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, saying that I was vulgar and only knew how to wield a spear and a stick... He forced you and me to kneel in front of his door for a day and a night before he finally gave in."

"Do you want to follow your father's old path?"

When she talked about sad things, her eyes became slightly red and she was about to cry.

"Oh, it's been so many years, why are you suddenly bringing this up again?"

Chen Zhuo was in a panic and his aura collapsed in an instant.

"You know, I like you to practice martial arts the most. I wish you could practice it every day..."

"Bah, you're talking nonsense again."

He Yuzhi glanced at him, and her coquettish look made Chen Zhu's heart beat wildly.

If it wasn't broad daylight, he would really like to "act like an old man but still have the madness of youth"...

Chen Zhuo calmed himself down and got back to the point, saying, "Your He family is a famous family in Qingzhou after all, but what about that Gu Manzhi? No matter how famous she is, she is just a prostitute."

"How can you let the Shen family save face by breaking off an engagement because of a prostitute?"

"Besides, Miss Shen is a disciple of 'Martial Saint Mountain'. If this matter gets out, I'm afraid there will be some trouble..."

Hearing this, He Yuzhi's expression became serious.

As a martial artist, she knew very well what "Martial Saint Mountain" meant.

One of the Three Saints, the place of inheritance of the Martial Saint, a transcendent existence that transcends ordinary forces!
The tree has luxuriant branches and leaves, deep roots, and has intricate ties with many forces.

There is a widely circulated saying: If you offend Wusheng Mountain, it is equivalent to offending half of the world!

Although there is some exaggeration, it is enough to show its great reputation!

This is the emperor's territory, so there is no need to worry about safety. But we can't stay in Tiandu City for the rest of our lives, right?

"Wu Shengshan has not been concerned with worldly affairs for many years. This kind of trivial matter should not happen..."

Before He Yuzhi finished speaking, the housekeeper walked in quickly, bowed and said, "Master, Madam, Miss Shen is here to visit."

Chen Zhuo and He Yuzhi looked at each other.

I am really afraid of what will happen.

"Please come in quickly."

Chen Zhuo said, "By the way, where is that rebellious son? Find him back for me right away!"

The housekeeper shook his head and said, "No need to look for him, the young master is in Miss Shen's hands."

Chen Zhuo asked in confusion: "What does this mean?"

The housekeeper had a strange expression on his face and said, "I meant what I said literally. The young master was held in the hand of Miss Shen and it looked like he had fainted..."

Chen Zhuo: “…”

He Yuzhi: “…”
