I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 1004 - 373: Eavesdropping with the Empress! Targeting Yu Youhan! (Part 3)

To be safe, he left a tracking mark on one of the Barbarian Slave.

"Let's go, someone will come later."

The two left the secret room, closed the entrance, erased the traces, and leaped off the merchant ship.

Their figures broke through the long sky, swiftly heading towards the Li Mansion.

Along the way, Chen Mo's brow furrowed tight, his thoughts surged like waves.

Originally, he came to investigate the Gu God Sect, but unexpectedly ended up dragging the Barbarian Tribe into the matter. Is this pure coincidence, or is there some connection between the two?

What roles do Lady Hua and the State Mansion play?

Seeing the situation, Xu You did not speak to disturb, quietly following behind.

...

...

Arriving in front of the Li Mansion, the sky appeared slightly dim, inside the mansion lights were already lit.

"Follow me."

Chen Mo leaped over the outer wall, Xu You swiftly followed.

Inside the Li Mansion, defense was even more rigorous, guards patrolling everywhere; among them were not only Transcendent Warriors but even Magicians.

"A mere merchant mansion, its guard strength is stronger than that of some small towns, that's really absurd." Chen Mo's eyes flashed with violet-gold brilliance, reached out to grab Xu You's wrist, avoiding guards and arrays along the way, following the scent of the Paperman into the inner quarters.

In the East Wing room, the window paper faintly glowed with dim candlelight.

Chen Mo pinched a spell, green smoke surged up, forming a bright mirror, floating in front of the two.

In the mirror appeared the image of the room, seen through the shared perspective of the Paperman, Ming Yuchun took off her costume, changed into a nightgown, lay on the bed, still unconscious at the time.

Hua Yinglan sat by the bedside, quietly gazing at her, her eyes full of complex, unclear meaning.

After approximately Half a Stick of Incense, Ming Yuchun's eyelashes gently trembled.

Hua Yinglan's expression brightened, "Sir, you're awake?"

Ming Yuchun's lips moved, her voice dry, "Thirsty..."

"Here is water." Hua Yinglan picked up the prepared kettle beside, poured a cup of clear water, then cautiously helped Ming Yuchun up, brought the cup to her lips.

"Moisten your throat first, drink slowly."

"Uh—"

Having finished drinking the whole cup of water, Ming Yuchun then awoke, looking at the lady in front, she couldn't help but be stunned, "Lady Hua? Wasn't I performing at Pear Cloud Hall? How come I'm here with you?"

"The events of the day, don't you remember them at all?" Hua Yinglan frowned and said.

"I..."

Ming Yuchun tried to recall, broken memories surged into her mind like a tide, hesitatingly said, "I only remember standing on stage, it was supposed to be an act with Kuan, suddenly my body lost control, and then it felt like something drilled out of my body..."

"It's the Gu Poison Worm." Hua Yinglan said.

"What did you say?" Ming Yuchun suspected she had misheard.

"You were possessed by a Gu Poison Worm." Hua Yinglan said with a heavy tone, "Have you had any contact with outsiders recently, or mentioned me to anyone else?"

Ming Yuchun's face suddenly turned pale, stammered, "N-no, I have been living and eating in the theater all this time, apart from performances, I never appear in public; no one knows our relationship, how could..."

Hua Yinglan's eyes turned cold hearing this.

The heavens have perished, the Poison God shall rise?

This was clearly a challenge to the court, almost like rebellion!

Even with one's toes, they would know the Gu God Sect couldn't possibly do something so foolish.

Someone must be trying to achieve a certain goal, intentionally splashing "dirty water" onto the Gu God Sect, and Ming Yuchun is merely a pawn.

"Tomorrow at the latest, this news will spread throughout the city, if it alarms the court, then the trouble will be significant!" Hua Yinglan's eyes turned dark, internally murmured, "It seems that I need to be cautious lately, must not leave any trace."

"Madam, am I going to be arrested? But I truly have nothing to do with the Gu God Sect!"

Seeing Ming Yuchun's tense appearance, Hua Yinglan's gaze softened slightly, she extended her arm to embrace her, speaking softly, "Don't worry, I'm here, it will be alright." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Mm, I trust you."

Ming Yuchun leaning against the soft embrace, her emotions gradually settled down.

They quietly embraced, the dancing candlelight cast a warm tone over the surroundings.

"Yuchun..."

Hua Yinglan hesitated, as if she wanted to say something.

Ming Yuchun raised her head, her eyes bewildered, gently bit her lip, "Don't speak, kiss me."

"..."

Watching the amorous figures in the mirror, Chen Mo's expression stiffened somewhat.

He originally thought they were close friends, now seems they are quite the affectionate pair?

As the atmosphere grew more heated, they were seemingly about to leap forward, beginning to dig into each other, as hurried breaths permeated the room, Xu You's cheeks flushed a shade of crimson, whispered, "Mr. Chen, did you bring me all the way here just to watch this?"

Chen Mo's lips twitched, "How was I supposed to know it would turn out like this... hey, someone's coming."

Footsteps approached from afar, ready to enter the courtyard.

Chen Mo waved a hand, the mirror dissipated into smoke, pulling Xu You, they hid behind the corridor pillar.

But this cover was too small, not enough to accommodate two people, he didn't have time to think more, simply wrapped Xu You within his robe, actuated the Daoist Skill and merged entirely with the shadows.

Pressed closely together, they could clearly sense each other's body heat.

Xu You's face flushed and muttered, "People can come, but do you have to hold me so tight..."

"In urgent matters, rules can be bent, sorry for this, Mr. Xu," Chen Mo's arms encircled her waist, using the Concealing Ring to help cover her presence.

The identity of the opponent was unclear, realm unclear, he didn't want to take chances.

Heat radiated from Xu You's wrist, making her legs slightly weak, nestling in his arms without strength.

Smelling the faint fragrance of her hair, familiar feelings grew stronger, Chen Mo couldn't help asking, "Mr. Xu, have we met somewhere before?"

Xu You glanced at him, "Do you try this on every girl?"

Chen Mo frowned, "Do I seem like that kind of person?"

"Then why point at me?" Xu You said softly.

"Who pointed at you..."

Chen Mo followed her gaze downwards, suddenly realized, his face turned crimson, "Strange, I clearly wasn't thinking about such things, how could..."

He's not a rookie yet to be so excited merely by holding a girl, but Mr. Xu had a certain unique allure, making him unable to control himself.

Xu You turned her forehead aside, spat slightly, "Still claiming you're not a libertine."

Chen Mo: "..."
