Chapter 884: Chapter 329: Tender Cat Lady, Transforming Online! Master Joins the Cultivation Too! (Part 3)

"No way!"

Gu Manzhi stomped her foot, angrily saying, "You clearly know what I’m talking about; you’re just doing this on purpose!"

Seeing her resentful appearance, Chen Mo couldn’t help but chuckle. It wasn’t easy to make Gu Meimo this anxious.

Still, he decided to stop while he was ahead, wrapping an arm around her slender waist and gently said, "You’re the apple of my eye, how could I possibly forget? Rest assured, there’s always a place for you in the Chen Family. Even when Yu’er officially joins the family, she’ll still have to call you sister."

Gu Manzhi’s expression softened like snow melting, and she snorted lightly, "That’s more like it."

Of course, there was also little White Hair nearby.

This girl was silent, but her lips were pouted enough to hang an oil kettle on.

Chen Mo pulled Ye Henshui into his embrace as well and said, "You and Yu’er can be considered sisters in the same sect. The three of you can come together for a game of Fight the Landlord."

"What’s Fight the Landlord?" Ye Henshui asked curiously.

"No worries, I’ll teach you slowly. It’s crowded and chaotic outside; you both should hurry back." Chen Mo patted their behinds and turned to leave, their lingering gazes following him.

"Tsk, a man’s sweet words are all lies."

The Paperman sat cross-legged on Gu Manzhi’s head, arms crossed, sneering, "Apple of his eye... it sounds nice, but don’t you know this guy’s heart is like a hedgehog, all prickly?"

Gu Manzhi replied indifferently, "I don’t care how many women he has, as long as I’m in his heart."

Ye Henshui nodded in agreement, saying, "I came later, so what right do I have to ask for much?"

"Foolish! Truly foolish!"

Ji Lianxing appeared frustrated with their lack of ambition, "Don’t you know what kind of spell this guy has on you? Smitten like this, sisters serving one husband, it’s really tarnished the Moon Brilliance Sect’s reputation!"

Gu Manzhi glanced at her and said calmly, "Shouldn’t the master know what she’s done by now? With you around, does the reputation of our sect really rely on others to tarnish?"

"..."

Ji Lianxing was momentarily choked by her words and said furiously, "You rebellious disciple, becoming more and more disrespectful! Besides, my actions are for the grand plan of the sect; it’s hardly the same as your love affairs!"

Gu Manzhi shook her head, "Master, you’ve worked hard for these years, yet there’s not a hint of revival in the sect. There’s neither manpower nor money, and we’re nearly unable to put food on the table, almost falling prey to the Gu God Sect’s schemes."

"On the contrary, this ’outsider’ Chen Mo, not only helped us cover our identity but also retrieved the Sect Treasure, the Azure Darkness Seal, and now he provides financial support."

"Honestly, if it weren’t for the personal relationship between the disciple and him, I’m afraid the Moon Brilliance Sect would have ceased to exist by now?"

"You!"

Ji Lianxing’s cheeks turned red, unable to refute.

Indeed, without Chen Mo, let alone the Moon Brilliance Sect, she herself wouldn’t even have survived until now.

"By the way, there’s something I forgot to tell you." Gu Manzhi said, "Did you know that Chen Mo has broken through to the Third Grade, stepping into the realm of a Grandmaster?"

"Grandmaster?"

Ji Lianxing was taken aback, "What kind of joke is this?"

"This is no joke, but fact, and Chen Mo hasn’t just comprehended one law, it looks like he’s reached the level of ’Divine Soul Harmony’." Gu Manzhi’s words were astonishing.

?!

Ji Lianxing’s expression was dazed.

Gu Manzhi wouldn’t use such a clumsy lie to deceive her.

To block the aura of the Dharma Conch, she had kept her existence to a minimum, always maintaining the paperman state, trying not to use Primordial Qi, so she hadn’t noticed the change in Chen Mo, only feeling his aura was even more restrained than before.

Who would have thought it would be the Integration Realm?

It has only been two or three days since their last meeting, how on earth did this guy manage to achieve it?!

"At this rate, it won’t be long before Chen Mo’s realm matches yours, master, and then you will have no bargaining power at all."

"For the sake of our sect, master, you should think about how to win him over." Gu Manzhi twisted the knife further.

Ji Lianxing remained silent for a long while before scoffing coldly, "Rebellious disciple, you still don’t need to teach this master how to do things!"

With that, she jumped off Gu Manzhi’s head, stomping her short legs in anger as she walked into The Cloudwater Hall.

After Ji Lianxing left, Ye Henshui cautiously said, "Holy Daughter, weren’t you a bit too harsh? Since the sect’s fall, master has already been under great pressure..."

"Do you think I want to be the bad guy? But some issues can’t be avoided, and they have to be clarified." Gu Manzhi sighed helplessly and said, "In the end, Mr. Chen is still the Imperial Consort’s man. Since the master is set on revenge, conflicts will inevitably erupt one day."

"Then, what should we do?" Ye Henshui asked nervously, not wanting to see a fight between Chen Mo and the master. Couldn’t everyone live peacefully?

"There’s only one way, and that’s for the master to sign the Creation Gold Contract."

Gu Manzhi stroked her smooth chin, musing to herself, "Now that Mr. Chen is a Grandmaster, perhaps he can Dual Cultivate the First Grade?"

Ye Henshui: [・_・?]

...

...

Chen Mo walked out of Melody Avenue, carrying his hands behind his back as he weaved through the crowd.

His steps seemed light and slow, yet each step covered several yards, unlike before when he used True Yuan for a boost. This time, there was a mysterious charm to his pace as if the ground beneath him was truly shortening.

The people around him appeared to not see him, yet unconsciously parted to make way.

Chen Mo didn’t head to the Demon Suppression Department directly. Instead, he moved towards the south of the city.

On his way, the surroundings gradually became desolate, where vibrant and bustling streets once thrived, there were now only broken walls and ruins.

Though the Ministry of Construction and Jingzhao Mansion were working diligently to repair the damage, the extent of destruction was so vast that even with the help of magicians, it would take several months to rebuild.

Passing through the devastated South City, he arrived at the outskirts.

Here, a temporary site had been set up to accommodate the homeless.

In just this area alone, there were hundreds of open-air beds, all occupied by wounded people; some had their eyes smashed by flying debris, while others had their legs broken by collapsing buildings, with moans and cries of agony filling the air.

Dozens of doctors moved among them, and due to manpower shortages in the Capital City, most had been brought in from nearby counties.

They looked pale as paper, their steps unsteady, exhausted to the point of weakness, yet they dared not stop for a moment, drawing on spirit stones while performing medical techniques.

Even so, there were still occasional deaths, with bodies quickly covered with white cloth and carried away.

The atmosphere was oppressively heavy.

Watching this scene, Chen Mo’s expression was somber, his eyes cold.

The destructive power of this explosion and its consequences were far more severe than he anticipated!

What if that tunnel had passed beneath the Chen Mansion or the Imperial Music Bureau?

The consequences would be unbearable for him!

"Whoever is behind this must pay the price." Chen Mo clenched his fist, murderous intent surging in his heart, "If I don’t hunt you down and slit your throat, I won’t sleep soundly at night..."

Just then, he spotted a familiar figure in the crowd, freezing momentarily.

"Hmm?"

"Why is she here?"
