I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 982 - 365: Second Showdown! Her Majesty the Consort Goes on the Offensive! (Part 3)
All I remember is that the two of them were in the bath barrel, just about to forcibly open the chrysanthemum face, and then they were forcibly shut down. When I opened my eyes again, it was morning...
Chen Mo, with an unchanged expression, said, "I guess I was too tired, coupled with emotional excitement, I blacked out. I saw you sleeping so soundly, so I took you back to your room."
"Is that so?"
Li Yuan scratched his head.
Blacking out without drinking?
Every time I want to have a deep conversation with the adult, something unexpected happens. It's too much of a coincidence...
Tap, tap, tap—
Ye Zi'e and Xu You climbed the steps and came to the bow of the boat.
Only to see Xu You not wearing that dark black robe, but instead having changed into a plain white long dress. As she walked, her skirt fluttered, revealing a fair calf, radiating an aura of youthful exuberance.
A stark contrast to her previous distant attitude, she proactively approached him and greeted charmingly, "Good morning, Mr. Chen."
Chen Mo raised his eyebrows and said a bit surprised, "Mr. Xu seems to be in a good mood?"
A hint of blush inadvertently crossed Xu You's cheeks, her hands behind her back, looking down at her toes, "I'm okay, I dreamt of my man last night, and he said his favorite person is me..."
"... "
Chen Mo shook his head.
Just a couple of days ago, she was full of grievances, but just because of a dream, she's this happy?
Women's minds are indeed hard to understand.
"Alright, let's prepare to return to the county."
Chen Mo, seeing everyone was present, piloted the Flying Boat towards Fengmu County.
...
...
At this time, the city was already in chaos, and the incident that occurred at the Li Family last night had spread throughout the entire county.
Upon hearing that the generous and righteous Grandmaster Li was actually a remnant of the Gu God Sect and had poisoned the food to use the townspeople as "feed" to cultivate spores, everyone's first reaction was disbelief.
But those mutated corpses of the Li Family were the bloody truth.
Those who had attended the banquet in the past few days and learned that there were Gu Poison Worms inside them, and would eventually meet the same fate, were scared out of their wits, gathering in droves at the county government, crying and wailing, as if it were the end of the world.
"My lord, save me!"
"In my humble family, there are both elderly and young, I absolutely mustn't die!"
"County Magistrate, please save my son, he's only eight years old!"
Listening to the cacophonous clamoring outside, Ji Weifeng sat on the public bench, irritably rubbing his temples.
The number of people implicated was far greater than he had imagined.
Because the Li Family explicitly stated that guests could take leftover food, many poor citizens who couldn't have such good food all year took it home to share with their families, further increasing the number of those infected with the Gu Poison Worms.
A rough estimate showed it was already nearing twenty thousand!
"Lord, any news from Mr. Chen's side?" Ji Weifeng cautiously inquired, having completely lost his backbone.
Since going after Li Chichang last night, Chen Mo and the others had not returned, leaving him anxious and uneasy. He couldn't bear this black pot alone!
If anything happened to these townspeople, he would be the sinner of Fengmu County!
He'd be infamous for a thousand years!
"Rest assured, with the two household heads joining forces, there's sure to be no chance of failure."
Lu Shuyuan's voice had scarcely fallen when the whistle of a Flying Boat suddenly came from outside, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, "See, what did I say, Mr. Chen is back!"
He strode towards the main hall entrance, Ji Weifeng following closely behind.
Arriving at the front courtyard square, they saw a luxurious Flying Boat suspended in the air, several figures descending from the sky, Chen Mo and Ye Zi'e among them.
As soon as Chen Mo landed, barely steadying himself, Ji Weifeng skid-kneeled before him.
His voice trembled, eyes brimming with tears.
"My lord, save me!"
