I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 883

Chapter 883: Chapter 329: Tender Cat Lady, Transforming Online! Master Joins the Cultivation Too! (Part 2)

The Xu Family is constantly targeted at the Imperial Music Bureau, and it’s all under Chu Heng’s orders.

If it weren’t for Chen Mo’s intervention, we wouldn’t have persisted until today!

"Chu Heng deserves to die, but I didn’t do this for the Xu Family, Madam needn’t worry." Chen Mo spoke frankly.

Even without the Xu Family’s involvement, Chu Heng would still have to die. He had no intention of seeking gratitude in return.

Liu Miaozhi shook her head stubbornly and said, "To you, it might have been a mere convenience, but to me and the Xu Family, it’s a life-saving grace, a debt that cannot be repaid even with utmost devotion."

"I only regret that my status is low and my abilities limited, truly there’s little I can do for you..."

Saying this, her mood inevitably became a bit gloomier.

The weight of gratitude is like a mountain on one’s back, and hatred burns like fire in one’s heart.

The inability to repay kindness is a torment, just like being unable to avenge enmity.

"Madam, don’t belittle yourself, I indeed have something that requires your help." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Really?" Liu Miaozhi’s expression brightened upon hearing this, eagerly she said, "Just speak, no need to hold back. My life was given to me by you, and if needed, I’d do anything without complaint!"

"It’s not that severe."

Chen Mo took out a stack of silver notes from the Heavenly Profound Ring and handed them to Liu Miaozhi, "Here’s about 3,000 taels, I need you to spend this money within a month."

?

Liu Miaozhi was stunned.

The help Chen Mo was asking for was actually to spend money?

"Mr. Chen, this..."

"Don’t misunderstand, I have conditions."

Chen Mo explained, "Starting today, you’ll lead the people of the Xu Family to follow Sect Master Ji for cultivation. This money should be spent, aside from basic expenses, on purchasing cultivation resources. Keep it with you, if it’s not enough, let me know."

"I’ll conduct regular checks on your cultivation, anyone showing even a hint of laziness will be kicked out, no second chances."

"Remember, I don’t support freeloaders."

3,000 taels for a month seems plenty, but keep in mind, the Xu Family women easily number in the dozens.

After Ji Lianxing’s assessment, their talents were generally adequate, and at least more than ten are suitable for cultivation.

Among them, Yu’er, Xu Ling’er, Liu Miaozhi... all possess exceptional Root Bone, and monthly consumption is not trivial, with expenses increasing as their realm advances.

It seems 3,000 taels might be slightly tight.

But there’s no other way, currently, many places require funds, the Azure Darkness Seal and Array Plate are bottomless pits, even if the Chen Family is wealthy, it can’t afford such squandering.

Though there’s backing from Jiu Zhou’s wealthiest woman, withdrawing tens of thousands of taels wouldn’t be an issue, but using the Empress’s money to support other women feels uncomfortable, and explaining this expense would be challenging.

Thus, he’ll only invest in those worth cultivating.

As for those lacking talent or diligence, just providing a meal is sufficient.

Yu’er clung to Chen Mo’s arm, her eyes overflowing with tenderness.

Liu Miaozhi hung her head, her cheeks burning, feeling ashamed for her previous thoughts.

Unexpectedly, their feelings are so pure, without any perception of social status, it’s her who measured them by her own standards and showed narrow-mindedness.

"All instructions have been given, that’s it, I have other matters to attend to, I can’t stay long." Chen Mo stood up to leave.

"Lord, I’ll see you out."

Gu Manzhi and Ye Henshui followed him.

Liu Miaozhi watched Chen Mo’s silhouette, deeply bowing, and until he was far away, she still hadn’t risen.

...

...

Outside The Cloudwater Hall’s gate.

Gu Manzhi pulled Chen Mo’s sleeve and whispered, "Lord, are you serious about marrying Yu’er?"

"Certainly." Chen Mo nodded, "She’s been with me for so long, she deserves a status."

"And what about others? Did you forget something?" Gu Manzhi couldn’t help asking.

Chen Mo’s mind was clear but he feigned ignorance, "No, what do you mean? Surely, you’re not talking about Xu Ling’er? We’re not even close, besides she’s Yu’er’s sister, it’s inappropriate..."
