I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 955 - 356: Drinking with the Empress under the Moon! A Sudden Confession!

The room next door.

Disguised as an ordinary assistant officer, Yu Youhan sat on the chair with her legs crossed, her exquisite feet swinging as her fingers tapped rhythmically on the table.

Ye Zi'e picked up the teapot and poured into the cup in front of her, "Empress, please have some tea."

"Mm."

Yu Youhan's face was expressionless, showing no signs of emotion.

Ye Zi'e took out a map from her bosom, marked with several locations in red ink, placed it on the table, and said, "I have been tracking the Gu God Sect for months, roughly locking down a few locations where Yin Tiankou might be active. Please have a look, Empress."

"Just leave it there." Yu Youhan said indifferently, not even bothering to glance at it.

Ye Zi'e was merely going through the motions, knowing full well that the Empress didn't care about these matters.

When the Gu God Sect was at its most powerful and rampant, it still couldn't catch her eye. Now that only a few remnants remained, they could be easily dealt with.

The main reason she had lowered herself to accompany this time was because of Chen Mo.

"It seems the Empress really cares about Mr. Chen!"

"Mr. Chen too, despite being the Empress's trusted advisor, still entangles with other women, quite bold, showing no awareness of being a concubine…"

Recalling the scene at the South City Gate, where Chen Mo and that white-robed Daoist nun embraced passionately, Ye Zi'e felt a chill down her spine.

If not for that Fire Department Constable intervening in time to stop the two, the consequences might have been unimaginable!

"Fortunately, that Daoist nun didn't follow along. Accompanying him are just two assistant officers, which should prevent any mishaps... As long as we reach the Southern Border smoothly and eliminate the Gu God Sect remnants, we can return to the Capital City peacefully..."

As Ye Zi'e was contemplating this, she suddenly heard a "thump thump" sound.

At first, she thought it was the Empress tapping on the table, but soon realized it was coming from the next room, faintly accompanied by low whimpers.

"Wait a moment..."

"It seems someone is calling for help?"

Ye Zi'e couldn't help but frown.

The next room was Chen Mo's; could something have gone wrong?

She took a couple of steps closer, pressing her ear to the wall to listen intently.

"Spare me, my lord..."

"You said you were willing to be punished, and now you can't endure it? You can argue with me, but I can't argue with you? How is that fair?"

"Mm mm mm..."

"Ah, I forgot to set up the soundproof array. Wait a moment..."

The noise abruptly ceased.

(O_O)?

Ye Zi'e's eyes widened in surprise.

Anyone with a bit of sense could tell what was happening next door...

No wonder that assistant officer dared to talk back openly; turns out they're in that kind of relationship?!

So, Chen Mo not only had an affair with a subordinate but deliberately placed her by his side, taking her south with him?!

Under usual circumstances, this wouldn't be such a big deal. After all, those with merit deserve special treatment. Although there are rules against romantic relationships within the Sky Scale Guard, no one would nitpick with someone of Chen Mo's esteemed standing.

But the problem is, the Empress is still here!

Yu Youhan's face was covered in icy frost, her gaze cold, and the air seemed to freeze.

Ye Zi'e felt a chill run down her spine, whispering, "Must I remind Mr. Chen, Empress?"

"No need, don't disturb his pleasure." Yu Youhan snorted coldly, "I want to see how far this guy can go with his antics!"

"Yes."

Ye Zi'e lowered her head, not daring to say more, only hoping Chen Mo would seek his own fortune.

Actually, Yu Youhan's inner thoughts were far from as calm as she appeared.

She knew about the relationship between Li Yuan and Chen Mo and had seen through Li Yuan's disguise at the South City Gate but didn't expose it to keep her identity hidden.

She thought that with others accompanying them, the two would be somewhat restrained, but who'd expect, they started their "exchange" as soon as they boarded the ship...

Couldn't wait even for a quarter of an hour!

Although Chen Mo set up an isolation array, it was entirely ineffective for her. Listening to those incredibly mushy conversations, the resentment in her eyes was almost overflowing.

"I don't know what kind of sins I must have committed to endure this punishment..."

"Luckily, the Red Silk wasn't triggered…"

After so many "tests," Yu Youhan roughly figured out the Red Silk's triggering pattern.

Normally, when Chen Mo practiced with other women, it wouldn't affect her unless their Dao Powers matched extremely well. If the Erosion Light Hourglass couldn't hide the fluctuations, then she'd be connected remotely.

Ling Ningzhi was one such example.

But last time when the Empress came to Frozen Sky Palace, the Red Silk's wave was even more intense than usual, suppressing her cultivation to the point where the Empress pinned her down on the bed...

"Such a strong resonance indicates that the opponent's cultivation was at least Third Grade, and that little Daoist nun hasn't yet reached harmony and couldn't achieve such a level."

"When did this guy gain another Grandmaster Realm confidante?"

"And I'm completely unaware of it."

Yu Youhan's mind was in turmoil, with a ridiculous conjecture passing through her mind, yet she was hesitant to believe it.

After much thought, she decided to observe for a period of time before making any judgments.

What if she was wrong...

...

...

Thousands of miles away.

A semi-transparent silhouette hovered in the clouds.

Its outline was unclear. Only a pair of golden eyes inscribed with the character "Jia" could be seen, with a fierce gaze penetrating the void, looking out into the distance.

As the leader of the Twelve Heavenly Stems, the Vermilion Bird, though incredibly powerful, was overly cautious by nature.

Ever since the Demon Lord sent her to the Central State, she's been idling outside Tiandu City, never stepping into the Capital City, as her mission was merely to "spy" without capturing anyone, giving her an excuse to loaf on the job openly.
