I'm modifying myself into the ultimate demon.

Chapter 203 My Godmother Returns to Life, and the Demonic Fetus Is Inside My Womb!?

After Chen Mo finished performing the hand seals and cried out, "Godmother, descend upon me," the room remained quiet. Nothing changed.

It was as if... Chen Mo was performing a very strange one-man show.

The others in the room were still in shock, staring at Chen Mo with astonishment. This included several doctors who had come to examine him. The guards outside, having heard Chen Mo's earlier shout, also drew their swords and rushed in, looking at Grand Tutor Pang with curiosity.

Qin Luoxi stared wide-eyed at Chen Mo, her mind replaying Chen Mo's words:

Grand Tutor Pang... is that Rakshasa Mother?

I often went to the Grand Tutor's mansion to play when I was a child. The old Grand Tutor took care of me like a grandfather. He would often teach me to read and write, and occasionally give me some snacks.

If he had free time, the old Grand Tutor would tell him stories.

How could such a kind and gentle old grand tutor be... the most evil woman in Southern Continent, the Rakshasa Mother?
Su Yuqing was the first to recover and rushed to Qin Luoxi's side, protecting her as she retreated.

Qin Luoxi wanted to say something more, probably to argue with the old Grand Tutor, but Su Yuqing interrupted her: "Listen to the young master. Step back."

Qin Luoxi nodded, said nothing more, and followed Su Yuqing to the doorway. She glanced warily into the room.

Ok?
Chen Mo was also curious.

I've already completed the hand seals my godmother taught me.

Why is there no sound at all?

The hand seal couldn't be wrong... Over the past six months, Chen Mo had practiced this hand seal countless times. It had long since become muscle memory; he could perform it with his eyes closed.

Could it be that something went wrong during the arrival of the godmother?
That's impossible... That's Jiang Hongyue! The most terrifying being from a hundred years ago in the Great Qian Dynasty.

Are you kidding me?
Or is there some other problem?

Hey!
Godmother, please stop this!

This could kill someone!

Just then, Pang Zixing suddenly spoke up, glaring angrily at Chen Mo: "Are you crazy? My grandfather is a renowned scholar, respected by all. How could he possibly be a demon mother?"
Besides, Rakshasa's mother is a woman, okay? You're truly full of wicked intentions. You're deliberately trying to ruin my grandfather's reputation. You... are finished.

Chen Mo ignored Pang Zixing and stared intently at Grand Tutor Pang sitting at the head of the bed and his second brother Qin Nanhe lying on the bed.

Especially Qin Nanhe... did not make any move.

This made Chen Mo feel a little panicked.

Ha ha.

Grand Tutor Pang glanced around and, seeing that the doctors and guards outside were all looking at him, chuckled, "Young Master Mo, you certainly know how to joke. I've dedicated my life to scholarship. In my early years, I entered officialdom and gained the favor of Consort Xiao, who recommended me to tutor the Crown Prince. Later, I successfully assisted the Crown Prince in ascending the throne, and His Majesty is indeed a wise and benevolent ruler. After retiring to my hometown, I also devoted myself to scholarship and have always been at odds with demons and monsters. How could I possibly be a Rakshasa mother?"

Although he said that, the old Grand Tutor still narrowed his eyes.

When the old Grand Tutor saw that Qin Nanhe had made the same hand seal as Chen Mo, he realized something was amiss. However, with many outsiders present, Grand Tutor Pang remained calm, a smile on his face.

Chen Mo knew there was no turning back, and was pondering what to do next...

A familiar feeling arose.

It's Jiang Hongyue's scent.

It slowly appeared on the second brother, Qin Nanhe.

However, the process of its appearance is very slow.

It seems that my godmother hasn't been back to the mortal world for too long and is not used to it.

Perhaps it was because his incarnation was too weak for his godmother to bear instantly.

But my godmother... has already arrived.

Chen Mo knew that he only needed to stall for a little time, so he simply continued, "I saw a beautiful figure in red in your bedroom in the central courtyard of the Grand Tutor's mansion earlier. Luo Xi said that the Grand Tutor has not remarried or taken concubines, nor does he have a penchant for playing with maids. So, may I ask the Grand Tutor, who was that beautiful figure in red?"

Grand Tutor Pang's expression darkened. "I'm getting old. I just need a maid to warm my bed before I go to sleep. It's nothing serious."

Chen Mo snorted coldly: "Is that so? When Qin Nanhe returned to the manor today, he said he saw the true form of Rakshasa Mother. So he hurriedly wrote me a letter. He was about to go out to Qianfo County to find me when he was slaughtered by zombies. During the incident, Qin Nanhe and Uncle Li fought desperately to stop the zombies and delivered the letter to Qin Luoxi... which allowed Luoxi to escape."

Grand Tutor Pang remained defiant: "What does it have to do with me if this place is haunted?"

Chen Mo disregarded Grand Tutor Pang's feelings and said loudly, "Coincidentally, I've asked around. Before Qin Nanhe returned to his residence, he went to your Grand Tutor's mansion. I suspect that Qin Nanhe must have accidentally seen that beautiful red figure in your central courtyard. You then came to the Prince's mansion to silence him."

Grand Tutor Pang was slightly angry: "Everyone knows that the Prince and I are a model teacher and student. The Prince and I have a deep teacher-student relationship, how could I do such a thing? Don't slander me here."

"Hahaha." Chen Mo continued to stall for time, "But you never expected that I would actually save Qin Nanhe. So you panicked and rushed over to visit him overnight. It was ostensibly to visit him, but in reality, it was to kill him and silence him."

Bang!
Grand Tutor Pang suddenly stood up: "You are being insolent! You are spouting nonsense. I am the Imperial Tutor. How dare you insult my reputation like this?"

"You're getting impatient." Chen Mo showed no mercy. "Unfortunately, you don't know... the real Qin Nanhe is indeed dead. This Qin Nanhe isn't Qin Nanhe at all; he's my incarnation. I deliberately sent Qin Nanhe out with Qin Luoxi and secretly found a doctor to lure out the mastermind behind it all. Besides, just now my incarnation clearly sensed your use of spiritual power, attempting to eliminate Qin Nanhe!!"

"If you hadn't come tonight, I would never have guessed you were Rakshasa Mother. Too bad you were in a hurry. Grand Tutor Pang, Rakshasa Mother!"

These words shocked the entire room.

Su Yuqing and Qin Luoxi finally understood the reason for the matter, and stared wide-eyed at Grand Tutor Pang.

The surrounding doctors began to retreat, and the guards drew their swords. They clearly believed Chen Mo's words.

Even Pang Zixing began to believe Chen Mo to some extent, and gradually distanced himself from his grandfather.

hiss.

Upon hearing this, Grand Tutor Pang's eyes widened. He looked back at Chen Mo, then back at Qin Nanhe on the bed, and then at the suspicions of those around him.

Finally, Grand Tutor Pang offered no further explanation.

"Good, good, good, what a fine young man. I have been hiding here for a hundred years, but I never expected to be outmaneuvered by a mere brat." Grand Tutor Pang's face was no longer refined, but instead became ferocious.

"But even if you knew... what could you do? It would just mean a few more people would die."

The moment he finished speaking, a black aura suddenly erupted from Grand Tutor Pang, immediately covering the entire central courtyard. As the aura gradually expanded, the entire Zhennan Prince's Mansion was shrouded in a thick black fog.

The moon in the sky was obscured by the black mist.

The entire palace was pitch black, with only oil lamps providing a meager illumination.

Some people panicked and tried to run out of the black fog, but they couldn't get out no matter what they did.

"Jie Jie Jie~"

In the bedroom, Grand Tutor Pang's sinister laughter echoed, "It's all Qin Nanhe's fault for meddling. If he hadn't been so determined to find that Rakshasa Mother, how could he have sneaked into my bedroom? If he hadn't come to my bedroom, he wouldn't have lost his life for no reason."

"It really is you!" Upon hearing the Grand Tutor's admission, Qin Luoxi was suddenly overwhelmed with mixed feelings, feeling as if all her strength had vanished, and she could barely stand. The countless acts of kindness the Grand Tutor had shown her in the past spontaneously surfaced in her mind.

So it turns out... it was all fake.

It's all an illusion.

This old grand tutor is none other than Rakshasa Mother.

Tears blurred Qin Luoxi's vision without her realizing it: "When my father first came to Nanzhou, he implemented new policies in an attempt to eliminate evil spirits. As a result, he was severely injured by Rakshasa Mother. It was only thanks to the Grand Tutor's intervention that my father's life was saved. From then on, my father always remembered the Grand Tutor's kindness and regarded you as a father figure. So... this was all a play you directed and acted in yourself."

"Thank goodness my father and Uncle Li repeatedly told me to respect the Grand Tutor and be filial to him. Turns out… it was all a lie."

"It's all lies!"

Qin Luoxi burst into tears.

Ha ha.

Grand Tutor Pang grinned menacingly, “I have come here with a greater mission. You mere mortals only know how to concern your own little corner of the world. You have no idea what I have been carrying all my life.”

Qin Luoxi cried out in grief and indignation, "Yes, can you lose your humanity for the sake of that burden? My father treated you like that, my whole family treated you like that. How could you do that?"

Grand Tutor Pang sneered, "That's because you have no idea what I'm carrying on my shoulders."

Chen Mo suddenly laughed and said, "What you're burdened with... isn't it just killing Jiang Hongyue and stealing her red moon essence to prevent her from returning to life? If that's what you call a burden, then you've truly insulted the word 'bearer'."

"You brat, how dare you say that!" Grand Tutor Pang roared in fury. "If you hadn't gone and orchestrated that human-dragon sacrifice, I still wouldn't know where Jiang Hongyue went, or if she'd even been resurrected. If it weren't for you, would I be living in such fear?!"

You even teamed up with Qin Nanhe to find Rakshasa's mother. If it weren't for you, would Qin Nanhe have died?

Now that you have discovered my identity, I can no longer spare your life.

After saying that, Grand Tutor Pang walked step by step toward Chen Mo, and an aura of death immediately erupted from his body, crushing toward Chen Mo.

In an instant, a strong, pungent stench of death emanated from Grand Tutor Pang, fangs appeared in his mouth, and his fingernails grew longer. He had transformed into an extremely terrifying zombie.

The way those eyes looked at Chen Mo was as if he were an ant: "I never intended to kill you. You brought this on yourself. Why did you do this? But I am curious, Rakshasa Mother is clearly a woman. Even if you saw the red figure in my bedroom, why did you suspect that I am Rakshasa Mother?"

Chen Mo stood ramrod straight, showing no fear, and met Grand Tutor Pang's gaze: "Because I asked Xiaoxiao, and you said you went to the tomb of the Qing Demon King. You saw the pattern on the jade pendant. You learned the secret of the Mandarin Duck Blood Jade. The Mandarin Duck Blood Jade can make a man and a woman become one. You obtained the original essence blood of the Qing Demon King, so naturally you have this ability."

However, you were still very weak at the time. You were unable to completely destroy the Ghost King's legacy in the Red Mansion. In addition, the Ghost King had just begun his slumber, which allowed you to escape.

You, Grand Tutor Pang, are a powerful zombie, but your other side... is Rakshasa Mother.

"Hahaha!"

Grand Tutor Pang laughed heartily, revealing a set of sharp fangs. "Good idea. You really are a lad who's been to the Red Mansion. It's different to have received the inheritance of the Ghost King of the Azure Sea. However, all of this ends here. From now on, your Ghost King's vengeful spirit belongs to this old man."

Click!

Grand Tutor Pang grabbed Chen Mo's forehead with one hand and said coldly, "To be honest, I actually like you very much. It's a pity you chose the wrong side. Do you have any last words?"

Chen Mo showed no fear whatsoever. "I have one more thing to ask you, consider it my last words."

Grand Tutor Pang sneered, "Very well. You managed to discover my true form, so you're not exactly a nobody. I'll grant your wish. Ask away."

Chen Mo said, "I've always been curious how you could have so much of Jiang Hongyue's red moonlight so quietly and well preserved. Even if you've entered the realm of the Azure Ghost and can set up a ghost field, it's impossible to hide such a massive amount of red moonlight aura at the same time. If I'm not mistaken, you must have used the righteous spirit of the literary world as a cover."

"What a brilliant idea!" Grand Tutor Pang praised repeatedly. "If you were allowed to continue developing for several more decades, you might actually become a threat to this old man. But it's a pity. You shouldn't have come here."

"Hehehe!" Chen Mo suddenly let out a sinister laugh: "Rakshasa Mother, do you have any last words?"

Ok?
You're asking me the other way around?
So arrogant?

Grand Tutor Pang laughed loudly: "Young man, do you think you're very humorous?"

Chen Mo: "Why don't you look behind you?"

Grand Tutor Pang sneered: "A petty trick, do you think I'll be fooled by you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Grand Tutor Pang suddenly froze.

An extremely chilling aura emanated from behind.

The aura carried an extremely terrifying penetrating power, making Grand Tutor Pang feel a chill run down his spine. He couldn't help but turn around and take another look, then gasped in shock.

Qin Nanhe, who was lying on the bed, had suddenly transformed into a woman dressed in a red Xiuhe dress and wearing a red veil.

brush!
The woman with the red veil stood up immediately.

Suspended in mid-air.

The physical object is suspended in mid-air.

How can it be?

How can a physical object possibly levitate?

Grand Tutor Pang gasped in shock. "You, who are you?"

next moment.

hum!
The entire space was imprisoned.

Everyone was paralyzed.

Even Grand Tutor Pang was horrified to discover that he could no longer move his body!
The cultivation level within the body cannot be activated.

The zombie power also cannot be activated.

How could this be?
Grand Tutor Pang has swept across the southern states for over a century, and has never encountered such a terrifying existence.

Qin Luoxi also realized that she couldn't move, but she could still speak. She stared at the woman with the red veil in disbelief: "Sister Su, who is this?"

Isn't that Chen Mo's incarnation? He just transformed into his own father?

How did I suddenly become a woman with a red veil?

Su Yuqing didn't answer, but stared wide-eyed at the woman with the red veil, her voice hoarse: "Second...Second Mother?"

The doctors and guards around them stared wide-eyed at the woman. They didn't know her background, but they clearly felt that her appearance was extremely cold and terrifying.

Click.

The woman with the red veil slowly landed on the ground, ignoring everyone, and walked slowly to Chen Mo, then took the opportunity to hug him: "Little Mo, I've made you worry. It was my first time out, and I wasn't quite used to it, which took some time. Luckily, you're clever and bought me some time."

Chen Mo laughed and said, "If I can't even do this little thing, wouldn't I be too disappointed in my godmother?"

Grand Tutor Pang, listening to their conversation, suddenly realized: Damn. Chen Mo deliberately exposed me to cause emotional turmoil, was his mother just stalling for time? Then who is this woman? My godmother?
"I don't have much time left, so I'll stop talking to you for now." The woman with the red veil released Chen Mo, then walked up to Grand Tutor Pang and spoke coldly.

"Little Rakshasa, after a hundred years, I have finally seen you again. Back in the Great Yin Mountain, you conspired with that vile Consort Xiao to perform the Phoenix Maiden sacrifice on me, attempting to harm me. That's bad enough, but afterwards you even stole my Crimson Moon Essence. You are truly capable."

hiss! !

Grand Tutor Pang suddenly gasped, feeling a chill run down his spine, and his voice became hoarse: "You, you are... Jiang Hongyue!"

"You have a good memory, you still recognize me. I have suffered terribly these past hundred years. Especially after I came out of the underworld, you stole my red moonlight, which prevented me from rebuilding my yang soul. Now, it is time to pay for all of this."

After saying that, Jiang Hongyue raised her right hand and slowly placed it on the top of Grand Tutor Pang's head, gently patting it, "Rakshasa Mother, come out here."

Boom!

An unimaginable force suddenly erupted, instantly slamming Grand Tutor Pang to the ground.

A top-tier zombie was killed by Jiang Hongyue just like that.

But then another side of Grand Tutor Pang emerged—a woman also wearing a red veil. She too wore a red Xiuhe dress and a red veil, and her appearance bore a striking resemblance to Jiang Hongyue.

Jiang Hongyue said coldly, "You blindly imitated me, learning my Red Veil Spirit Communication Technique and even using Zhuang Xiaoyue's original essence blood to control the moonlight. Hand over the moonlight!"

Under Jiang Hongyue's overwhelming pressure, Rakshasa Mother dared not resist and immediately begged for mercy.

Jiang Hongyue didn't hesitate either, directly raising her hand and pressing it onto Rakshasa's mother's head.

It's clear that they read the other person's memories.

Before long, Jiang Hongyue stopped, then took a mirror from Rakshasa's mother, and played with it in her hand for a while: "So that's how it is. You've also learned the power of the mirror. Combined with the concealment of the Righteous Qi, you've managed to hide such a large amount of red moonlight very well."

Wow.

The Rakshasa mother squeezed out a few tears, "Please, Your Majesty, spare my life. I am innocent too; it was all Empress Dowager Xiao's doing. I'm just a servant. Being stationed here by Grand Tutor Pang, I've had a hard time too."

"Spare my life? If that word were useful, there would be no need for fighting and killing in this world. Not only will you die, but that bitch Xiao Nanfeng will also die. You go first, and I will send that bitch Xiao Nanfeng to reunite with you later."

Bang.

Jiang Hongyue raised her hand and pressed down.

The Rakshasa mother was killed.

From beginning to end, it offered absolutely no resistance. It was no different from an ant.

This scene terrified Qin Luoxi and Su Yuqing.

Qin Luoxi, in particular, couldn't believe that Jiang Hongyue was so powerful.

No wonder the young master was so confident from beginning to end; it turns out... the young master and his godmother had been setting up a grand scheme all along.

The next moment, Jiang Hongyue waved her hand and walked up to Chen Mo: "Little Mo, thank you, godmother. I will erase these people's memories in a moment. I have to go back. You don't need to come to Hongyue Palace anymore. We'll meet again in the mortal realm."

Chen Mo took a deep breath: "Does Godmother need any help from me?"

Jiang Hongyue smiled and said, "You've done very well. Next, your godmother will need some time to rebuild her Yang Soul. You won't be able to see your godmother then. When your godmother isn't around, Xiao Mozi, remember to take good care of yourself. You need to learn to take care of yourself."

Chen Mo vaguely realized something: "Is Godmother leaving?"

Jiang Hongyue said, "Perhaps. Godmother still has many things to do. Let's talk about it after Godmother has reshaped her Yang Soul."

After saying that, Jiang Hongyue turned around and went back to her bed.

Su Yuqing spoke up at this moment: "Second Madam."

Jiang Hongyue didn't turn around, but said, "You've suffered all these years. Don't wrong yourself like that in the future. Do what you want to do."

Jiang Hongyue slowly lay down on the bed.

She lay down peacefully.

Then, the woman with the red veil gradually disappeared, and Qin Nanhe slowly returned to normal.

Qin Nanhe's essence and soul power were completely drained. He became a desiccated corpse, and then even that could not be maintained. He slowly turned into dust and gradually dissipated.

Wow!

Everything around them returned to normal, and everyone regained their ability to move.

The doctors were a little confused.

"What just happened?"

"Why can't I remember?"

"Hey, where did the prince's body go?"

"Why would I draw my sword? Have I lost my mind? Damn it."

"..."

Only Qin Luoxi, Su Yuqing, and Chen Mo retain their memories.

Perhaps Jiang Hongyue also knew that these three people were close to Chen Mo, so she didn't bother with this effort.

With tears in her eyes, Qin Luoxi walked up to Chen Mo and politely bowed, saying, "Thank you, young master, for avenging my father and Uncle Li..."

puff!
Chen Mo suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed straight to the ground with a thud.

"Young Master!" Qin Luoxi was shocked and immediately rushed forward to hug Chen Mo. Seeing that Chen Mo's face was pale and his body was trembling, she cried out, "Sister Su, what's wrong with Young Master?"

Su Yuqing dismissed the doctors and guards, and had Pang Zixing arrested. Then she said, "That incarnation was the embodiment of your life. Now that the incarnation is dead, your life force has been severely damaged. Quickly help your son to bed to rest."

Qin Luoxi quickly carried Chen Mo to the bed and lay down, holding Chen Mo's hand tightly, and said with tears in her eyes, "Young Master, you must not be hurt. I have already lost my father and Uncle Li. I cannot lose you too."

puff.

Chen Mo coughed up several more mouthfuls of blood, his body becoming extremely weak. "I'm fine, I'll be alright after a night's rest. You can go out and take care of the funeral arrangements. Also, leave the bodies of Grand Tutor Pang and Rakshasa Mama in the room; don't move them. I need them."

Qin Luoxi nodded in agreement, then left the room and closed the door behind her.

In the huge room, only Chen Mo and Su Yuqing remained.

Su Yuqing grasped Chen Mo's hand, "Young Master, would you like me to give you some extra power?"

Chen Mo shook his head: "No need."

I wasn't just injured... I lost ten years of my life.

He sacrificed two of his avatars for Jiang Hongyue's sake.

It cost him a total of twenty years of his life.

It was incredibly difficult and extremely challenging. Only Chen Mo knew the extent of his suffering.

Fortunately, I no longer have a human body, only the immortal body of a zombie. Losing twenty years of lifespan... is not a big problem for a zombie.

After a while, Chen Mo still felt extremely exhausted, so he said, "Xiao Yu, I'm so tired. I want to take a nap."

Su Yuqing said with tenderness, "This time, Young Master has eliminated the greatest evil in Nanzhou. You have truly made an unparalleled contribution to this land. Young Master, please rest well if you are tired. I will stay here and not leave your side for a moment."

Chen Mo nodded, then closed his eyes.

She fell asleep soon after.

Before falling asleep, Chen Mo silently recited:
Your Majesty.

But it's no use...

Consciousness failed to enter the Red Moon Palace.

Instead, he fell into a deep sleep.

Chen Mo didn't have a nightmare; instead, he had a sweet and erotic dream.

This is the first time in history.

……

Meanwhile, Qin Luoxi walked out of the main house and stood under the eaves. Numerous guards surrounded her, including their leader, Mulan. Seeing that Qin Luoxi was in low spirits, no one disturbed her.

Qin Luoxi didn't pay attention to everyone, but instead looked up at the sky.

The sky was filled with heavy, fluffy snowflakes.

The eastern sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn.

It's day, it's dawn.

Normally, Qin Luoxi always looked forward to dawn.

But this time, Qin Luoxi hoped that the sky would never brighten, and that she could return to yesterday.

Go back to when my father was still alive.

She raised her right hand, letting the snowflakes fall gently into her palm and slowly melt into raindrops, slipping through her fingers.

Mulan felt a pang of sadness upon seeing this, so she brought up a fur coat and draped it over Qin Luoxi, saying, "Princess, you are still injured, please take good care of yourself."

Qin Luoxi didn't speak, but slowly sat down on the steps, burying her head in her knees. Suddenly, she let out a bloodcurdling scream:
"Father!!"

……

Beijing.

royal palace.

It was a snowy day.

However, Shou Kang Palace was unusually lively, with many concubines sitting in front of a stage, listening to a play.

The woman sitting in the head seat was dressed in a golden phoenix robe, with a gold hairpin in her hair and long, sharp finger guards. She looked to be about ninety years old. Although there were some wrinkles on her face, she still had a charming appearance.

At this moment, the woman sat upright in her chair, her deep eyes fixed on the stage.

The concubines behind him were all talking about it.

"The Palace of Eternal Life is the Empress Dowager's favorite opera."

“Every year at the end of October, the Empress Dowager would invite opera troupes from the Pear Garden to perform. This was a symbol of the Empress Dowager’s long life.”

"We sisters are able to hear such a wonderful play thanks to the Empress Dowager."

"This concubine respectfully wishes Her Majesty the Empress Dowager a long and healthy life."

"..."

When the concubines offered them wine, the woman in the phoenix robe was very unpretentious. Instead, she kindly picked up her wine cup and took a graceful sip.

Before long, an old eunuch dressed in eunuch's clothes hurriedly entered, approached the Empress Dowager, raised his whisk, and knelt on one knee: "Your Majesty."

The Empress Dowager glanced at the eunuch: "Xu Fu, what is it? Stand up and speak."

The eunuch named Xu Fu then got up and whispered something in the Empress Dowager's ear.

brush!
The Empress Dowager suddenly stood up.

The lively scene instantly fell silent. Everyone could feel the Empress Dowager's chilling aura. A sensible concubine dismissed the actors from the stage.

The Empress Dowager then spoke up: "I am not feeling well, everyone should go back."

"Yes!"

The concubines all rose to pay their respects, barely daring to breathe, and then left in an orderly fashion.

The next moment, the Empress Dowager raised her right hand and said, "Take me to see this."

Eunuch Xu Fu immediately stepped forward, took the Empress Dowager's hand, and led her to her bedchamber.

There was an old maid in the palace, about seventy or eighty years old, named Granny Liu.

Liu Momo held a brocade box in both hands and respectfully presented it to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager opened the brocade box; inside was a talisman.

The inscription contained Grand Tutor Pang's birth date and time, surrounded by densely packed talismans. Now, the talismans had dried up and self-immolated, leaving only a complete ash mark.

Xu Fu said, "Rakshasa Mother... is dead. Should we inform His Majesty and send the Demon Suppression Division to Nanzhou to investigate?"

The Empress Dowager was taken aback at first, then gave a sinister smile: "No need to investigate. The only one in Nanzhou who could kill Rakshasa Mother is that vile woman. Good, good, I've been waiting for this day. I was afraid that this vile woman wouldn't be able to come back to life, otherwise she would really ruin my grand plan."

In that case, it suits my wishes.

Xu Fu, clearly an insider, said, "Your Majesty, this fiend is not to be underestimated. He possessed great supernatural powers in life and was hailed as the most likely person in the Great Qian Dynasty to break through to the fifth level of cultivation. If this fiend is brought back to life, I'm afraid he will cause trouble in the palace sooner or later."

The Empress Dowager waved her hand, signaling Liu Momo to take the brocade box, and then said, "That vile woman thinks she can seek revenge on me just because she's been brought back to life? What wishful thinking! Little does she know... her resurrection is just part of my plan. Just ignore her."

Xu Fu was surprised, but dared not ask any more questions: "Yes."

The Empress Dowager picked up a plate of osmanthus cake, popped it into her mouth, and ate it. "What has the Emperor been doing lately?"

Xu Fu said, "Your Majesty has been busy with Taoist practices lately, and has neglected the affairs of the previous dynasty. Many ministers and officials are still using this as a pretext."

The Empress Dowager said, "What do those stinking scholars know? But since that vile woman has made her move, it seems certain that she will be brought back to life. Go and inform the Emperor to pay more attention to the affairs of the previous dynasty, especially the movements in the Southern Prefecture."

Xu Fu replied, "Yes."

Empress Dowager: "What is that person doing?"

Xu Fu was taken aback, then said, "Is the Empress Dowager referring to... the retired emperor in the cold palace?"

"Ah."

Xu Fu said, "The Emperor Emeritus lives in the Cold Palace and is acting crazy. A while ago, Xiao Fangzi went to the Cold Palace and brought him a bucket of urine, which the Emperor Emeritus drank with relish. He kept saying it was delicious. I'm afraid he really has gone mad."

……

Nanzhou.

Zhennan Palace.

The bedroom in the atrium.

Its daybreak.

Bright light streamed in through the window and fell on Chen Mo's face.

Chen Mo was still asleep, but Su Yuqing stayed by his side the whole time, her heart aching at the sight of his pale face.

Others might not know, but Su Yuqing did: the young master's journey had been incredibly difficult. Although he wasn't one to seek the limelight, he had unknowingly accomplished a series of earth-shattering feats along the way.

He wiped out the evil spirits of Honghe County and Nanyang Prefecture. Now, even the greatest evil spirit in Nanzhou has been eliminated by the young master.

It can be said that wherever Chen Mo went, evil spirits retreated, leaving only the Golden Light Lord.

It has benefited countless people.

But nobody knows.

Thinking this way, Su Yuqing felt even more that Chen Mo had a hard time.

After a long while, Chen Mo slowly woke up and opened his eyes. He saw the white snow outside.

Su Yuqing spoke with delight, "Young Master, you're awake. Are you feeling any better?"

Chen Mo checked his body for a while and found he felt much better than yesterday.

Because they are zombies with immortality, their regeneration speed is indeed fast.

Chen Mo propped himself up and sat up. "What's the situation outside?"

Su Yuqing said, "The princess cried outside all night. By early morning, she was in a better mood."

Chen Mo nodded: "The princess is only twenty years old and has suffered such a great change. It's inevitable that she can't accept it. It's good for her to cry a little. It's better than keeping her emotions bottled up inside. Xiaoyu, go to Qianfo County and arrest all the temple lords, as well as the Buddhist priests and nuns. I'll go... never mind, bring them here. I'm feeling a little tired."

Su Yuqing nodded in agreement and then went out the door.

With no one in the room, Chen Mo climbed out of bed and walked to the window to look at the snow falling heavily outside. He saw Qin Luoxi still huddled on the steps.

"It's not good for her to stay immersed in sadness like this. We need to find something for her to do." Chen Mo thought to himself, then said to Qin Luoxi, "Luoxi."

Qin Luoxi, who was sitting on the steps in a daze, turned around and looked at Chen Mo when she heard the voice: "Young Master, you're awake?"

Chen Mo said, "Could you do me a favor?"

Qin Luoxi agreed: "Please speak, young master."

Chen Mo said, "Go and get a bowl of hot black dog blood, and also get three red candles."

Qin Luoxi was obedient and immediately did as she was told. Before long, she came in carrying black dog blood and red candles.

She didn't know what Chen Mo was going to do. She only saw Chen Mo splatter black dog blood all over the ground, draw a circle, draw a talisman pattern inside the circle, and light three red candles outside the circle.

Chen Mo sat in the center of the circle, took out a mirror, bit his finger, and dripped blood into it. He then held it up to his back to look at something.

Qin Luoxi curiously leaned closer: "Young Master, what are you taking pictures of?"

Chen Mo didn't say anything, but took the photos carefully.

I did not see Jiang Hongyue.

At first, he was delighted.

The red veil that had been covering my back... has finally disappeared, and I feel much more comfortable now.

But then he thought about how his godmother had disappeared and he couldn't see her in his dreams, which added a touch of sadness to his heart.

After a while, Chen Mo put down the mirror: "It's nothing. I was just looking around."

Stepping out of the circle, Chen Mo arrived at the body of Grand Tutor Pang and made a decision.

[Original Solution Essence +400000]

[Currently available original solution essence: 700000]

Seeing the surge in the original essence, Chen Mo finally felt somewhat happy.

I vaguely remember that as long as you collect the maximum value of one million original essences, you can trigger the cheat to transform again and step into the fusion level.

As things stand, it seems there's not much difference.

Once Su Yuqing has captured all the ghosts in Qianfo County, killed them, and absorbed their essence, that should be enough.

Chen Mo regained his composure and said, "Have someone come and burn Grand Tutor Pang's body. Remember, send someone with a message. By the way, has Pang Zixing been captured?"

"He's been arrested. He's currently in the woodshed, and he doesn't know what's going on yet. This person is of high status, and we don't know what to do with him."

Chen Mo said, "Just kill them."

Qin Luoxi nodded: "Yes."

Worried that Qin Luoxi had nothing to do, Chen Mo said, "I'm hungry, go and make me a meal."

"it is good."

And so, Chen Mo settled down at the Prince of Zhennan's residence.

It wasn't for any other reason than that this was the place where Chen Mo said goodbye to his godmother. Chen Mo wanted to see his godmother after her resurrection. He also wanted to spend more time with Qin Luoxi.

Qin Luoxi was kept busy by Chen Mo every day, leaving her almost no time to be sad.

Two days later, Su Yuqing arrived at the Zhennan Prince's Mansion with a group of old acquaintances. They also arrested many officials from Qianfo County, including the Buddha's parents, and imprisoned them all in a room.

However, according to Su Yuqing, many gentlemen ran away.

Chen Mo wasn't in a hurry to kill them and obtain the original essence; instead, he was pondering the future situation of Nanzhou.

For example... should we also have the Southern Prefecture worship the Golden Light Lord?

This is an entire state.

If all the temples were to open, the benefits to oneself would be immense.

Of course, this means that Chen Mo will become a very big target.

It has both advantages and disadvantages.

That afternoon, Chen Mo leaned back in a reclining chair under the eaves of the main house, watching the snowflakes fall from the sky. Su Yuqing was beside him and suddenly spoke up: "Is Young Master considering whether to establish the Golden Light Temple in Nanzhou?"

Chen Mo asked, "What do you think?"

Su Yuqing said, "This is naturally a great thing. Nanzhou is so big, and the incense offerings in the area are extremely prosperous. Even if the young master doesn't want it, other ghosts will take it. As for the imperial court... the young master has sided with Second Madam, so why would he care about the imperial court's attitude?"

Chen Mo nodded: "That's true. Then let Master Yuanfang take charge of it. From now on, all temples in Qianfo County will only worship Lord Jinguang."

Su Yuqing smiled and said, "Young Master's hair is quite thick now, which doesn't match the image of that Golden Light Master."

Chen Mo was stunned... and speechless for a moment.

Isn't this a coincidence?

Eh?
Just then, Chen Mo felt the ghost bone inside his body move slightly.

I opened the panel and took a look.

[Demon Bone Fusion Rate: 80%]

Ok?
A dot suddenly appeared out of nowhere?

It used to be 79.

Moreover, it was difficult to improve the integration level by even one point before.

Although Chen Mo felt a little surprised, he didn't think much of it.

The next morning, when Chen Mo woke up, he found that the ghost bone had grown another dot.

The integration level reached 81%.

"Something's not right. This price increase is unreasonable. I haven't done anything."

The following day, Chen Mo's Ghost Bone Fusion level increased by another point, reaching 82.

Chen Mo had always looked forward to an increase in the degree of fusion, but now that it has actually increased so rapidly, it is actually unsettling.

Over the next few days, the fusion level increased by one point each day.

Ten days later it reached 92.

Seven more days passed.

The fusion rate of the ghost bones reached an astonishing 99%.

Chen Mo even sensed that the ghost bone seemed to have come to life, and was vaguely moving.

"What the hell?"

"How could this happen?"

"Wouldn't the fusion level be maxed out by tomorrow?"

Chen Mo dared not sleep that day and sat cross-legged in his room the whole time. Very late at night, he felt an inexplicable weariness wash over him, and unable to bear it any longer, he fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Chen Mo suddenly opened his eyes.

"Damn, I actually fell asleep last night."

"Let me check the fusion rate of the demon bones."

Chen Mo immediately sat up cross-legged and was about to open the control panel when he suddenly felt something moving inside his stomach.

"what?"

Chen Mo immediately reached out and touched his abdomen, and sure enough, he felt something the size of a pea moving around inside.

He quickly turned on the control panel.

[Demon Bone Fusion Ratio: 100/100]

brush!
Chen Mo suddenly looked down at his abdomen: "The fusion of the ghost bones was maxed out, and this is what you turned out to be?"

"What the hell is this?"

Chen Mo tried to grab the moving object and dig it out.

It disappears every time you pinch it.
