I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 866

Chapter 866: Chapter 323: Chen Mo: I Was Given Full Service by a Dragon (Part 3)

"You’ve been here for so many years, haven’t you felt bored?"

"Not really, when no one’s here, I just sleep, and one sleep can last for decades."

The Black Dragon’s sharp fingertips scraped across the scales as if scratching an itch, bursting with sparks as it spoke, "But this world is decaying; it used to be about as large as the entire Central State, but now it’s about the same size as Tiandu City. I estimate that it will disappear along with this painted world in another hundred years."

Though it seemed indifferent, Chen Mo still saw a hint of relief in its eyes.

A lifespan of two thousand years seemed long, but it wasn’t as thrilling as a mortal’s decades of life.

Being trapped in this corner of the world, longevity had become a form of torture.

Chen Mo shook his head, said no more, and flew to the spheres of light.

Upon closer inspection, within the glow were Jade Scrolls, ancient books, weapons, and even some claws and sharp teeth of alien beasts, each exuding distinct auras.

"You only get one chance to choose; once you touch it, it’s confirmed, and you can’t change it," the Black Dragon reminded.

"Only one time?"

Chen Mo glanced at it.

The Black Dragon shivered, hurriedly waved its hand, and said, "I didn’t set this rule; it’s the rule of this world itself. It’s the same for everyone; once you select, the other items will disappear on their own."

Seeing it didn’t seem to be lying, Chen Mo temporarily gave up the thought of grabbing all the equipment.

If that’s the case, he must consider carefully.

Since he couldn’t touch, he couldn’t trigger system prompts, so he had to rely solely on his eyes to observe.

Exerting his Vision Power, Chen Mo’s eyes gleamed with dazzling purple and gold brilliance. With the Golden Eyes of Truth, the things before him quickly decomposed, returning to their most fundamental state.

"For me, the most useful thing right now is the technique for controlling Dragon Qi."

"In other words, whatever aligns most closely with Dragon Qi is the inheritance suited for me."

In the end, among the dozen items, he was captivated by a black scale emitting a strong aura. Just as he was about to reach for it, his gaze swept across to the Black Dragon beside him, and his actions suddenly halted.

He saw the enormous body gradually become translucent before his eyes, and in the midsection, a cluster of red light blazed like a fierce flame.

At the same time, the Dragon Qi within him seemed to resonate, suddenly becoming excited.

Faced with those unfathomably deep eyes, the Black Dragon inexplicably felt a sense of panic and instinctively stepped back, "Why, why are you looking at me?"

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you sure this is everything? Could you be hiding something?"

"What are you talking about, how could I..."

Before the Black Dragon finished speaking, Chen Mo picked up a lance and said calmly, "Will you hand it over willingly, or shall I claim it myself?"

"..."

The Black Dragon’s lips twitched.

In two thousand years, it had never been forced into such a situation.

This world was already extremely weak; if the opponent exerted full force, it might truly not be able to contend.

"Fine, I didn’t expect your eyes to be so sharp."

The Black Dragon sighed, extending a sharp claw and splitting open its chest.

Its enormous body was filled with dark fog, a gigantic heart pumping slowly like a furnace, each beat producing a deafening sound, its scorching heat palpable even from afar.

Then, it pierced the outer wall of the heart with its fingertip, and a drop of bright red blood flowed out.

The blood was as transparent and pure as a ruby, devoid of impurities, silently suspended in the air.

"Hoo—"

The Black Dragon’s body gradually healed, looking somewhat fatigued. This series of actions had consumed it greatly.

The finger moved slightly, and the blood flew towards Chen Mo.

"Don’t blame me for not warning you; though this is precious, it might not be beneficial to you and could even bring disaster..."

"Don’t worry, I’ll take responsibility for my decision."

"I’ve done my best."

"Whether he can interpret any of it depends on his own fate."

It raised a hand and waved; dark clouds surged, filling the sky, and Chen Mo’s figure vanished.

...

...

Heavenly Armory, first floor.

Wu Zhengkai trembled all over, his black shirt soaked with sweat, the light of the array flickering unstably, clearly at its limit.

"Time is almost up; why hasn’t he returned?"

"If he’s truly the Heavenly Destiny People, he should have passed the test and gained the inheritance already... Dead eunuch, could you have made a mistake?"

"Impossible, I couldn’t possibly be wrong."

Eunuch Jin shook his head decisively, but his fist secretly clenched under his sleeve, his heart in his mouth.

The one chance had already been used; if Chen Mo couldn’t obtain the inheritance, the cost would be unbearable for them.

Stomp, stomp, stomp—

Just then, slow footsteps sounded.

Both looked up sharply, seeing Chen Mo coming down the stairs, his brows furrowed, appearing pensive.

"Is it over? How did it go?" Eunuch Jin hurried forward, urgently asking.

Chen Mo snapped out of it, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Uh... you might not believe it, but I was served by a dragon..."

Eunuch Jin: ?

Wu Zhengkai: ?
