I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 939

"Let me help you."

He led Ji Hongxiu to the table and sat down, holding a wooden comb in his hand. He combed the waterfall-like black hair until it was even smoother, then took out a jade hairpin, gathered the hair into his palm, and twisted it into a dao bun.

A strand of hair fell in front of her forehead, making her appear even more radiant and vibrant, giving the impression of a young lady.

Looking at the serious expression of the man in the mirror, Ji Hongxiu's ears turned red, and a gentle light shone in her eyes.

"All done," Chen Mo said.

Noticing the two delicate peach blossoms carved on the hairpin, she asked, "Did you specially prepare this hairpin for me?"

Chen Mo nodded and said, "I made it by hand; do you like it?"

"It's alright," Ji Hongxiu turned her head slightly and said softly, "But I can't do my hair. Even if you help me style it, it'll get messy again soon."

"No problem, I'll take care of your hair. Whenever I have time, I'll come to see you often," Chen Mo said, tapping his chest.

"Promise you won't lie to me," Ji Hongxiu extended her pinky finger, her face serious, "Pinky promise."

Chen Mo didn't expect the Daoist Venerable could be so childish, and smiled, hooking her pinky finger, "Alright, pinky promise."

...

...

In the courtyard.

Ji Lianxing remained motionless like a statue.

The cat knew the Daoist Nun wasn't to be messed with, so it didn't dare to go inside, lying on her shoulder and yawning.

"Meow~"

"Stop meowing, it's annoying."

Ji Lianxing was in a terrible mood.

When a person is unlucky, even cold water can choke them.

She originally thought that helping Chen Mo get the magic conch would be a great accomplishment, but she didn't expect that the overwhelming Dragon Qi almost killed Chen Mo! Even more unexpected, she was mistaken by the Tianshu Pavilion Daoist Venerable as a romantic rival!

It's utterly ridiculous!

"The Daoist Venerable and Yu Youhan have a terrible relationship, which isn't a secret. If I could leverage the Holy Sect's power, it would provide some leverage against the Imperial Consort..."

"But with how things stand, whether I can leave alive is another matter!"

Ji Lianxing sighed helplessly.

Creak——

At this moment, the door opened, and a clear voice said:

"Come in."

The Dao power pressing on Ji Lianxing vanished, allowing her to move freely again.

As she looked at the open door, her throat moved, she hesitated for a moment, but finally stepped into the room.

In the bedroom.

Ji Hongxiu sat upright in a chair, a tall figure stood beside her with his hands behind his back.

"You're awake? How's your body feeling?"

Seeing Chen Mo, Ji Lianxing instinctively asked.

How did Paper Flying Girl become a Sect Master with this level of intelligence?

Halfway through speaking, Ji Lianxing realized her blunder and frantically added, "I-I didn't mean it that way. Please don't overthink..."

Ji Hongxiu's mouth twitched slightly, suppressing her frustration, and said in a deep voice, "Enough, let's not talk about that. Let's discuss the real issue. The magic conch and Dragon Qi are heavily intertwined, and you are not to mention it to anyone. It was as if you never saw it."

"Yes," Ji Lianxing bowed her head.

"The current situation is unstable. Keep a close eye on Chen Mo's side, and if you notice anything unusual, feel free to contact me anytime."

"Of course, I won't let you help for nothing. Here are five Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills, which should be useful for rebuilding your sect."

Ji Hongxiu raised her hand, and a jade talisman along with a bottle of spirit pills appeared floating in front of her.

"Daoist Venerable, you're too generous!"

"Rest assured, this matter is in my hands!"

Overwhelmed with joy, Ji Lianxing accepted them with both hands, a hint of delight flashing in her eyes.

The spirit pills were secondary. This marked the first step in closing the gap with Tianshu Pavilion!

If she performed well and proved her value, she might even gain the support of the Daoist Venerable, thereby restoring the glory of the Moon Brilliance Sect!

Ji Hongxiu noted her expression thoroughly, the corners of her lips lifted slightly.

As such, having an informant in Tiandu City would allow for timely monitoring of Chen Mo's movements, and since Ji Lianxing and Yu Youhan were sworn enemies, there was no risk of her turning traitor.

As for rebuilding the Moon Brilliance Sect...

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. If it could be leveraged to trouble Yu Youhan, she wouldn't mind offering a push from behind.
