I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 845 - 316: Her Majesty the Consort’s Counterattack! Aunt and Nephew at Odds, Chen Mo Profits! (Part 2)

Chapter 845: Chapter 316: Her Majesty the Consort’s Counterattack! Aunt and Nephew at Odds, Chen Mo Profits! (Part 2)

After speaking, he got up and left the room.

Once the door was shut tightly, Yu Youhan couldn’t hold it in any longer. Her body squirmed uneasily, emitting a soft, melodious murmur from her throat.

"Mm~"

"You dog-like lackey... you actually dared to do this in front of Qingyi... I, I must punish you..."

Chen Mo tugged at the red silk with one hand, his fingertips gently playing with it, and laughed, "If it hadn’t been for my quick reaction just now, Her Majesty would have already been exposed. Clearly, I deserve credit for this, so where’s the crime?"

"Nonsense, if it weren’t for your recklessness, I wouldn’t be in such a disgraceful state."

"Stop, stop... don’t continue..."

Yu Youhan’s entire body felt like it was on fire, and this strange sensation left her powerless.

Realizing that brute force wouldn’t work and would only make this rascal more aggressive, she switched tactics and pleaded pitifully, "Please stop tormenting me... If you really can’t hold it in, let Qingyi accompany you instead."

?

Chen Mo chuckled, "Didn’t Her Majesty forbid me from contacting Director Xu? Why the sudden change in policy?"

Naturally, Yu Youhan was unwilling.

But urgency demands the use of any available means, so she could only sell out her ally.

"She is infatuated with you, and no matter how much I try to stop her, I can’t. Anyway, she’s going to accompany me, so it’s only a matter of time..."

"What will happen sooner or later?"

"Sooner or later... you will have taken advantage of her completely."

"Then what about Her Majesty?"

"...Look at me now, I’ve already discarded all dignity; what more do you want?"

"Why is Her Majesty unwilling then?"

"I never said I’m unwilling, just that you should first reach First Grade, but you insist on taking an unconventional path. How can you... With your current progress, it won’t take long to get from Third Grade to First Grade, can’t you wait even a little bit? What exactly am I to you?"

Seeing Yu Youhan’s resentful expression, Chen Mo realized he might have gone too far and softly consoled her, "Her Majesty, don’t be angry. I was just joking; I can wait a lifetime, there’s definitely no rush."

"Then why don’t you hurry up and untie me?"

"Yes."

Chen Mo withdrew his other hand.

Then he grabbed the red silk phantom and pulled it forcefully backward—

"Mm!!"

Yu Youhan’s body trembled suddenly, as if the moon reflected in the well had been shattered, causing ripples to form. Her cheeks were deeply buried in the pillow, but one could still hear the muffled groans.

The floral fragrance in the air became even more intense.

After a long while, it finally subsided.

Chen Mo cautiously asked, "Her Majesty, are you alright... hmm?"

Before he finished speaking, a ghostly light suddenly appeared, transforming into ribbons that wrapped around his wrists and ankles, binding them to the four bedposts, and leaving him completely immobile.

"Her Majesty, what is this..."

Chen Mo looked somewhat confused.

Yu Youhan slowly sat up, her phoenix eyes still glistening with tears, and she gritted her teeth, "Relying on the red silk, you truly think you can bully me? You even dare have designs on Qingyi – you’re tired of living!"

Isn’t Her Majesty’s flip in mood quicker than turning a page?

Chen Mo wanted to say something, but Yu Youhan directly picked up that piece of fabric and stuffed it into his mouth.

This was essentially the use of one’s own tactics against oneself...

"You rascal, dare to defy me, I’ll beat you to death!"

"Mm mm..."

"No talking, or you’ll receive an extra hour of punishment!"

"..."

...

...

Yangxin Palace.

In the White Jade Incense Burner, wisps of green smoke rose.

Lin Jingzhu furrowed her brows as she anxiously paced around, the sound of her footsteps echoing in the inner hall.

The Empress leaned back on a small couch, rubbing her forehead with delicate fingers, resignedly saying, "Zhu’er, calm down for a moment, you’ve been pacing around like this all day."

Lin Jingzhu approached, worry etched on her face, "Auntie, you say Chu Heng is dead and the Demon Clan has been suppressed, so why hasn’t Mr. Chen returned yet? Could it be..."

She hesitated, as if afraid her words might become a prophecy, swallowing back the rest.

In fact, the Empress’s worries were no less than hers, but in this situation she could only remain strong, both to comfort her and seemingly to comfort herself:

"The Sky Scale Guard and Imperial Army have both been dispatched, expanding the search area to encompass the whole of Central State, and an elite team from the Demon Suppression Department has been sent to the Northern Territory to gather intelligence..."

"For us now, no news is the best news..."

Lin Jingzhu sighed quietly, staying silent.

A shadow flickered in the Empress’s eyes; there were things she dared not speak openly with Lin Jingzhu.

From the situation at the scene, Chen Mo was most likely taken away by that suddenly descending ’presence’, otherwise, it’s impossible that not a single trace was left.

In the entire incident, Wuwan Temple’s purpose was for Dragon Qi, and the Demon Clan very likely was targeting Chen Mo!

Moreover, this plan began preparation even before Chu Heng was imprisoned!

"A demon surpassing First Grade might just be that Demon Lord; she has been lying dormant in the Desolate Domain for so many years, and actually appeared in Central State for Chen Mo?"

"And that mysterious magician who killed Duan Zhongmou, friend or foe?"

The complex situation gave the Empress a headache.

But there was one thing she was sure of:

If Chen Mo hasn’t returned in three days, the Great Yuan Iron Cavalry will undoubtedly flatten the Northern Territory!

In usual circumstances, she couldn’t make such a decision, as it involved military affairs that required the prior consultation with Qianji Palace.

But now with Chu Yanli, who possesses both the Heavenly Decree Seal and Tiger Talisman, these steps were skipped... Though the unauthorized movement of the Imperial Army might attract criticism, she didn’t care; with everything already in chaos, she’d flip the table!

No one is better off!

Moreover, demon extermination was always part of the plan; it’s just that with the Southern Barbarians unsettled, there’d been no chance to address it.
