I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1139

"There's really no way to guess her age; she might be an old monster skilled in preserving her youth. After reaching such a level, changing one's face is a breeze."

Jiang Zhiyun crossed her arms and said, "What really makes me curious is her attitude... no matter how much she values Chen Mo, it seems unlikely she would personally come to Martial Saint Mountain just to vent his anger, right?"

"Hmm, this is indeed a bit strange..."

Huo Wuya pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Now's not the time to be thinking about this; let's focus first on how to get through the current situation."

Now that Yu Youhan is staying in the Sect, it's like a ticking time bomb; if not handled properly, it could lead to irreparable consequences!

"Sigh, it's one thing for the Sword Washing Pool to be destroyed, another for the disciple recruitment to fall through, and now we have to prepare compensation for that kid... This whole affair is truly a case of losing both the wife and the soldiers." Huo Wuya sighed helplessly and walked towards the Sect with his hands behind his back.

The group of elders also followed suit.

Soon, only Shen Zhixia and Ling Ningzhi were left at the scene.

The atmosphere returned to silence, with only the huge palm imprint on the ground indicating what had just happened.

Shen Zhixia still felt like she was in a dream, and said confusedly, "That woman was Consort Yu? Why would she come to Martial Saint Mountain?"

Once she came to her senses, she thought aloud, "But it's also good. Last time when my father went to the palace for a marriage request, he was rejected by her. Now, perhaps I can take this opportunity to plead, and maybe the marriage can be expedited."

Ling Ningzhi hesitated to speak.

If you really go to her, the expedited event might just turn into a funeral.

Yu Youhan and Chen Mo have a close relationship, which she knows well; she just doesn't know how to explain this to her best friend.

Seeing Ling Ningzhi remain silent, Shen Zhixia thought she was jealous. She nudged her elbow and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I could never forget the Daoist. I'll also mention it to the Empress and let you be the Secondary Wife to Brother Chen Mo..."

?

Ling Ningzhi hurriedly waved her hands, "There's no need for the humble Daoist."

Shen Zhixia wrapped her arm around her shoulder affectionately, "With our relationship, why be polite? After all, we agreed to be lifelong best friends!"

But if you do that, our lifelong friendship will end very quickly!

From the power Yu Youhan just displayed, it's likely even the master couldn't be her match, and the two of them would surely have serious trouble!

"Zhixia, listen to me..."

Before Ling Ningzhi could organize her words, Shen Zhixia pulled her in the direction of the Sect, "It's getting late, we need to hurry."

...

...

Yu Youhan's eyes showed a hint of resentment, and she said, "Actually, the hint was already there last time at Chen Mansion, I just didn't expect your relationship to progress so fast that you've already... Do you want to anger me to death?"

He hasn't even settled the issue with the Empress, and now there's a Daoist Venerable involved, and it's come to eating the master with the disciple—utterly absurd!

Seeing Chen Mo's guilty expression, Yu Youhan took deep breaths to suppress the bubbling feelings.

She knows how skilled this man is at attracting women, and even if he really settles down, those persistent pursuers would keep coming, and if she got angry every time, she'd end up dying of it.

"I'm not some embittered woman, spending all day fighting over jealousy with other women."

"Recognizing you means many things will naturally be overlooked, but internally, you need to be mindful. Don't mistake my tolerance as a license for indulgence."

Yu Youhan coldly snorted and said, "Moreover, your many troublesome women can't be counted on two hands; our backyard can't accommodate so many people."

"Got it... huh?"

Chen Mo was about to respond, but suddenly realized, rubbing his chin, "Our home? Empress, could it be you actually want to be the Wife? And speaking of clashing with the Daoist Venerable earlier, there seemed to be mention of house rules..."

"Is there a problem with that?" Yu Youhan's cheeks slightly flushed, and she bit her lip, "I've been teased by you this way, don't tell me you intend to welch?"

"Of course not, I agree wholeheartedly, but such a serious matter like marriage must also get the nod from my parents." Chen Mo decisively chose to pass the buck, not because he doesn't want to take responsibility, but because he hasn't figured out what to do about Zhixia and the Empress.
