I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 639

Chapter 639: Chapter 244: Gu Scripture! Entering the palace to see the Empress!

"Transaction?"

Chen Mo furrowed her brows slightly, "What scheme are you plotting now?"

Ji Lianxing chuckled softly and said, "Don’t be nervous, I mean no harm, just want to offer you an additional choice."

Chen Mo didn’t respond, just silently watched her.

Ji Lianxing rested her chin on her palm, her slender foot swinging, appearing somewhat languid, "I’m aware of the events of the past few days. The conflict between you and the Princely Heir has intensified, and he might very well target Miss Yu’er..."

"But compared to the Princely Heir, isn’t Yu Youhan more dangerous?"

"If she finds out about Manzhi and Henshui’s identities, I don’t need to spell it out what the outcome would be..."

Chen Mo furrowed her brows even tighter, "So, what are you suggesting?"

Ji Lianxing’s lips curled up, and she said, "The best option for you now is to let them continue staying at the Imperial Music Bureau, and I can ensure their safety."

"You?"

Chen Mo sneered.

Ji Lianxing shook her head and said, "I know you don’t trust me, but regardless, Manzhi and Henshui are my disciples. I can’t just watch them jump into the fire pit... Besides, the Azure Darkness Seal is still in your possession; I can’t risk the Sect Treasure on a whim, can I?"

Hearing this, Chen Mo pondered slightly.

What Ji Lianxing said did make some sense.

Currently, the Xu Family is under the scrutiny of various forces. Recklessly buying Yu’er’s freedom could cause many unpredictable consequences, not to mention the Empress as a ticking time bomb...

"What do you want?" Chen Mo asked straightforwardly.

Ji Lianxing said, "Naturally, I want the Azure Darkness Seal..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Mo immediately tossed something over.

Seeing the flying azure seal, Ji Lianxing’s pupils constricted as she quickly dodged aside.

Thud!

The seal dropped directly onto the ground.

She glared at Chen Mo angrily, gritting her teeth, "Are you trying to kill me?!"

Chen Mo shrugged and said, "Weren’t you the one who asked for this Azure Darkness Seal?"

"But you can’t just give it to me like that! What if Yu Youhan’s Dao Power is attached to it?" Ji Lianxing replied angrily, "If Yu Youhan discovers my presence, neither of us will have a good outcome!"

Chen Mo had mentioned this before; such a precious artifact wouldn’t be easily given away by Consort Yu and she would certainly have some safeguard in place.

And Ji Lianxing’s casual attitude only solidified her belief in that.

"Forget it, then."

Chen Mo waved his hand, and the seal flew back into the Heavenly Profound Ring.

Ji Lianxing’s eyes flashed with desire, but more so with helplessness, as she said solemnly, "Let’s not rush the Azure Darkness Seal matter; I’ll propose a transaction once I find the Creation Gold Contract. For now, I just need your help in deciphering a Cultivation Technique."

"What Cultivation Technique?" Chen Mo asked.

Ji Lianxing tossed a bamboo scroll to him.

Judging from his performance that day, Chu Heng must be practicing a similar Cultivation Technique, and his realm wasn’t low. To reach such a level, an abundant supply of Essence Blood was necessary.

Why would someone of noble birth practice these taboo Evil Techniques?

There must be some reason behind it...

Ji Lianxing cleared her throat and asked, "So what do you think about my proposal?"

Chen Mo felt a slight stir in his heart and nodded, "It can be done, but I have another condition..."

He mouthed the words, transmitting the sound into her ear.

Ji Lianxing furrowed her brows, pondered briefly, then nodded, "Deal."

Chen Mo pulled Gu Manzhi and Ye Henshui into his arms, holding them on either side, and said blandly, "Alright, we’ve talked enough, I won’t keep you any longer."

"..."

Seeing her two disciples with shy expressions, Ji Lianxing felt a pang of distress but was helpless.

Just as she was about to leave, something occurred to her, and she asked, "What do you mean by the Overlord Tea Girl you mentioned? I have never heard of this type of tea?"

Chen Mo said indifferently, "It’s a specialty from my hometown, I’ll let you try it if there’s a chance."

"Oh."

Ji Lianxing didn’t ask further, and her figure dissipated into shadows.

"Lord, are you really going to help Master deduce this ’Gu Scripture’?" Gu Manzhi asked softly.
