I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 852

?

Chen Mo was taken aback for a moment, then realized what was happening.

Besides the normal clothes in his storage ring, there was also a batch of samples sent from Jinxiu Workshop. Could it be that he took the wrong one?

"Uh, it might have accidentally torn. Should I get you a new set?"

"Then why is only the crotch part torn, and why is there a bow tied with a ribbon?"

"..."

Chen Mo's mouth twitched slightly.

As expected, he took the wrong set, and it was even Households Commander Li's special custom design.

"Forget it, no need to trouble yourself. Since it's worn inside and can't be seen, I'll just make do for now." Chu Yanli hesitated for a moment and then said softly, "Um... I'm out of strength, can you help me a bit..."

"Okay."

Chen Mo stepped forward and lifted the curtain.

Seeing the scene before him, he couldn't help but be a bit dazed—

Chu Yanli's legs were bent outward, with her calves pressed against her thighs, sitting in a duck-like position. She was wearing a one-piece piece of underwear, the lace fabric supported her voluptuous curves, and two hibiscus flowers covered the essentials.

Her long legs were wrapped in black stockings, her hands placed between her legs resting on the bed, covering the torn area.

Even just changing into a new piece of underwear, beads of sweat appeared on her nose tip, her firm chest heaving unevenly, her moist eyes a bit unfocused, "Don't misunderstand; I'm not trying to do anything to you. It's just that I've exhausted too much energy and am a bit powerless..."

"I understand."

Chen Mo regained his composure and nodded.

After interacting a few times, he had a rough understanding of Chu Yanli's power.

Though her techniques might be lacking, her sheer destructive force was definitely on par with the Ultimate Venerable. Even an "E" level Great Demon nearing First Grade would be like a chicken in front of her.

But such terrifying power came from pushing her body to the limit.

Dragon Qi was like a double-edged sword. Every time it was fully unleashed, it would worsen her condition, leaving her extremely weak afterward.

At this rate, she probably wouldn't have many years left.

"A glass cannon burning its lifespan..."

Chen Mo silently shook his head.

Come to think of it, both Ling Yishan and the Daoist Venerable were like that.

It seemed that in the rules of this world, to gain immense power, one must pay a severe price, even at the cost of one's life.

Yet the essence of cultivation is the pursuit of "immortality"...

Isn't this a case of the left brain attacking the right brain?

Chen Mo pondered this while picking up the martial robe and draping it over Chu Yanli.

"Your Highness, you'll need to lift your arm."

"This..."

Chu Yanli hesitated a bit.

Now wearing torn stockings, if she did as he said, wouldn't she be completely exposed?

Seeing this, Chen Mo didn't say more. He lifted her ankle with his hand and slipped the pants on.

As his fingertips inevitably brushed against her foot and moved up along the calf, a tingling sensation spread, Chu Yanli's body gently trembled, her eyes glistening with a watery light.

When they reached the bend of her leg, the waistband got stuck.

"Your Highness, my apologies."

Chen Mo apologized, wrapping one hand around her slender waist, lifting the Princess while pulling up the waistband with his other hand.

Chu Yanli's figure was taller and more voluptuous than Li Yuan's, making the close-fitting martial robe even tighter, accentuating her curves, requiring quite an effort to put on.

Snap—

The elastic waistband snapped into place, causing a ripple effect.

After being fussed over, Chu Yanli felt a bit dizzy and leaned tiredly against Chen Mo's shoulder.

"Your Highness, please rest well, I will take my leave." Chen Mo helped her lean against the bedpost, preparing to leave.

"Wait." Chu Yanli reached out and grabbed his sleeve.

Chen Mo asked, "Does Your Highness have further instructions?"

After a brief silence, Chu Yanli spoke, "Recently, the Jiang Family has been pressuring Chan'er, wanting me to publicly choose a husband... Even though Chan'er has never mentioned it to me, I know the kind of pressure she's under, and this matter is ultimately unavoidable."

Chen Mo had heard from the Empress about this matter.

The Jiang Family had been trying to intervene in military and political affairs, and the Princess was the best stepping stone, which was why Jiang Wangye had been pestering Chu Yanli for years.

"But the Empress is the Great Yuan Queen; does the Jiang Family really wield that much power?" Chen Mo asked, puzzled.
