I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1268

Chapter 1268: Chapter 485: Proclaiming Sovereignty? Chen Mo Belongs to Everyone!

Watching the two figures flee in a panic, Chu Yanli was so mortified she wanted to crawl into a crack in the ground. She glared and snapped, "Your parents are here—why didn’t you tell me in advance? I’m so embarrassed I could die!"

"Did you give me a chance to say anything?" Chen Mo crossed his arms over his chest and said irritably, "Now you know what embarrassment is. What were you thinking last night? If the Empress finds out about this, who knows how big a mess it’ll cause!"

Chu Yanli’s cheeks flushed even redder. Feeling guilty, she muttered, "But I really couldn’t help it... At worst, the Empress can be the main wife and I’ll be the concubine. When you two are doing your thing I’ll help push from behind, and if she gets pregnant I’ll wait on her during confinement..."

"You really are quite... righteous..."

The corner of Chen Mo’s mouth twitched. He was completely helpless against this woman.

The pull of their bloodlines far exceeded his expectations, and after Chu Yanli fully recovered, her strength was a notch above his. She’d ridden him the entire night... He felt like Xiang Yu—utterly powerless as if watching Chu fall to Han.

If he’d known beforehand it would lead to this, Chen Mo would never have used Dragon Blood to remodel this woman.

Still, it wasn’t all for nothing. At least the system rewarded him with a Dragon Crystal, which offered him a bit of consolation.

With the support of the crimson Dragon Qi, the progress of the Ancient Spirit Constitution was steadily increasing, gradually pushing toward the mid stage of Fahrenheit Star.

As his Realm rose, besides unlocking new Divine Skills, more fragments of memory merged into his Divine Sense. Vaguely, he seemed to see a deep, bottomless well, with two vertical pupils blazing in the darkness like twin scorching suns.

In those eyes was a domineering, incomparable pressure, and a fury that not even the waters of all the rivers and lakes could extinguish!

Zhu Jiuyou.

That name surfaced unbidden in Chen Mo’s mind.

That terrifying aura felt like a suppressed volcano, ready to erupt at any moment and burn the whole world to ash!

"But Zhu Jiuyou clearly died nearly a thousand years ago, so why do I still feel this kind of dread..." Chen Mo knit his brows, pondering in silence, and couldn’t help recalling what "An Mengni" had told him after they left the Secret Realm.

"If you want to know the answer, go to the Northern Territory and find her..."

"Could it be that she and Zhu Jiuyou have some kind of connection?"

Seeing Chen Mo remain silent, Chu Yanli thought he was still angry about last night. She said softly, "Don’t worry, I won’t eat for free and run. I’ll definitely take responsibility for you..."

"No need." Chen Mo said coldly, "Just stay away from me."

"Hmph, looks like Chan’er was right, you’re the type whose mouth says no but body is honest. Your reaction was bigger than anyone’s, and now you won’t own up to it..." Chu Yanli rolled her eyes at him and muttered under her breath.

Chen Mo: "..."

"Brother!"

"Mr. Chen?"

Just then, Shen Zhixia and Ling Ningzhi, who lived next door, opened their door and came out.

Seeing how "intimate" Chen Mo and Chu Yanli looked, both of them froze, their expressions turning a bit awkward as they bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Highness Princess."

"As for Chen Mo..."

"If you’re willing, you can still marry him. I guarantee you’ll have the status of a proper main wife. The three letters and six rites, the eight-carriage bridal procession, ten miles of red decorations—you won’t be missing a single thing."

?

Shen Zhixia’s expression went blank.

The other woman’s words caught her completely off guard, like punching into cotton.

"You don’t need to treat me as an enemy, we’re on the same side now." Chu Yanli leaned close to her ear and sent a voice transmission, "Anyway, this melon is so big, you can’t finish it alone. Let me take a couple of bites, what’s the harm? Sisters should share with each other, right..."

"S-sisters?!"

Shen Zhixia’s cherry lips parted slightly as she stared at Chu Yanli in disbelief.

Chu Yanli straightened up, eyes curved in a smile. "Alright, I’ve got things to do, so I’ll be off. Remember to help me tell Mr. Chen and Madam that I’ll visit them again next time."

With that, her red skirt swayed as she turned into a streak of golden light and tore through the sky.

Watching Shen Zhixia’s dazed look, Chen Mo asked, "Zhixia, what did that woman just say to you? She’s never had anything good come out of her mouth, don’t take her words to heart."

"N-nothing much, the Princess is actually quite nice. I... I’ll go pay my respects to Uncle and Aunt first." Shen Zhixia’s face was flushed, her slender fingers clutching the hem of her clothes as she turned and ran off.
