I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 980 - 365: Second Round! Her Majesty the Consort Makes a Move!

Standing in front of Chen Mo's room, Yu Youhan was just about to push the door open when she suddenly froze.

Through her Divine Sense, she could clearly perceive the scene inside the room, and a look of panic and disbelief appeared on her face.

These two actually...

At least warm up a bit first!

Even with ample preparation and the blessing of the red silk last time, she found it somewhat overwhelming. She didn't expect this small hundred households officer to be so fierce, choosing to go head-to-head straight away?

"A ruthless person indeed."

Yu Youhan concluded in her heart.

For a moment, she hesitated.

Now, she had two paths in front of her: either turn around and leave, pretending nothing happened; or burst in and take Chen Mo back.

Whichever choice she made, she'd have to bear the corresponding consequences...

Especially at this critical moment, rushing in indiscriminately would only court disaster.

She stood there hesitantly for a long time, finally making up her mind, her aquamarine eyes filled with determination. "In my dictionary, there's no word for retreat! Since this small hundred households officer isn't afraid, what do I have to fear?"

She's not like Jiang Yuchan, so useless, only hiding under the covers wallowing in self-pity!

Once she's certain of her feelings, she must face them bravely. Otherwise, she'll end up having everyone walk over her! 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

But Yu Youhan still kept her wits about her, not rushing straight in. Before finding that "Grandmaster Realm vixen," she didn't want to reveal her identity...

"First observe the situation and act when the time is right."

Her form drifted like fog, slipping through the crack of the door.

...

...

Inside the room.

The warm yellow light cast two silhouettes on the screen, with low sobbing echoing in the air.

"Sob, the last time was fine, but this time... are you deliberately tormenting me?" Li Yuan's eyes were red, tears pooling in her eyes as she sobbed, "You big meanie, I hate you, I'll never talk to you again!"

Chen Mo: "..."

He also found it strange.

Even without assistance, this being a second encounter shouldn't be so difficult. Li Yuan's reaction made it seem as if she had never experienced it before... What happened on that night she was drunk?

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, feeling as if he was missing something.

"But right now isn't the time to ponder these things."

Seeing her pale face, Chen Mo didn't act rashly but first transferred a wisp of Vitality Essence to her.

As the verdant light emerged, Li Yuan's expression eased a bit, letting out a long sigh of relief. Yet as the pain subsided, a strange sensation arose, making her entire body heat up, leaving her with no strength.

"Yuan'er, are you feeling better?" Chen Mo asked softly.

Li Yuan wiped her tears and softly replied, "Much better."

"Why not call it a day? I'll take you back to rest..."

Saying that, Chen Mo prepared to help her up.

However, Li Yuan stopped him, "Wait a moment."

Chen Mo asked confusedly, "What's wrong?"

Li Yuan lightly bit her lip, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Reaching this point, if she were to give up, wouldn't all the pain endured be for naught?

"Don't move unnecessarily, let me... do it myself."

"Are you sure? Alright then."

Chen Mo nodded, not refusing.

Li Yuan placed her hands on the edge of the bath barrel, furrowed her brows slightly, and began to slowly rise.

Then she shifted her waist backwards...

Just as she took a deep breath, readying to lower herself, her vision suddenly blackened, and she completely lost consciousness.

"Eh?"

"Where did she go?"

Chen Mo was momentarily stunned.

Li Yuan had been right in front of him moments ago, and in the blink of an eye, she vanished without a trace, leaving no detectable sign of presence.

What is going on?

Just then, a faint voice came from behind:

"Tsk, Mr. Chen sure has refined tastes."

?!

Chen Mo's body stiffened, swiftly turning his head to look.

He saw a tall figure in a plain silk dress leaning against the screen. Her white jade hairpin held her black tresses up, and a pair of sharp phoenix eyes watched him with a hint of mockery.

"Your Majesty?!"

He rubbed his eyes vigorously, making sure he was not dreaming.

Gazing at the face he thought about day and night, he could no longer suppress the surging emotions within him. He stood up abruptly, splashing water everywhere, and strode over to Yu Youhan, holding her tightly in his arms.

[・_・?]

Yu Youhan had planned to "mock" him a little more, but being embraced out of the blue left her speechless, as all her words got stuck in her throat.

"My Empress, I missed you so much."

Chen Mo hugged Yu Youhan tightly, burying his face in her neck, speaking in a muffled voice: "Before coming to the Southern Border, I even went to the palace to find you. Director Xu said you had left the palace for some affair... Not knowing how long this southern journey will last, I thought I wouldn't see you for months..."

Listening to his confessions of longing, Yu Youhan's gaze gradually softened, as she responded with a faint hum, "Your words are sweet, but you're out here having fun. Even on a mission, you're not idle. You've likely fallen into someone else's warm embrace, leaving me forgotten, haven't you?"

"How could I? I even dreamed of you last night." Chen Mo looked up, speaking earnestly.

Last night?

Yu Youhan paused, unnatural as she averted her gaze, muttering, "I know you well enough. Who knows what kind of ridiculous dreams you've been having..."

Uh, indeed a bit ridiculous.

Chen Mo cleared his throat awkwardly and asked, "By the way, what brings Your Majesty here so suddenly? Is it the red silk acting up again?"

By right, Li Yuan being a Martial Cultivator shouldn't cause too much Dao Power fluctuation.

Yu Youhan answered indifferently, "Even a broken ship has three pounds of nails. Gu God Sect has been established in the Southern Border for years, making it tough to deal with. Without many men at your disposal, acting recklessly might lead to unexpected incidents. So I decided to drop by..."
