If it weren’t for Chen Mo, let alone saving others, they themselves would have probably perished...
"Thank you, Mr. Chen!"
"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for saving our lives!"
More and more people gathered around and bowed deeply to Chen Mo.
Watching the tearful crowd in front of him, Chen Mo felt as if there was a surge of energy growing inside him...
After repeatedly expressing their gratitude, they helped their family mbers and departed.
Fu Nansong approached Chen Mo and respectfully said, "Mr. Chen, after last night’s bloody battle, everyone is truly exhausted. I have arranged so carriages to take you all back to the city to rest and recuperate."
"That would be good."
Chen Mo nodded.
Each mber of the Sky Scale Guard was injured, and he was also covered in blood, indeed in need of rest and arrangents.
This demon corpse was too massive, and it was impervious to intense fire, requiring the Demon Hunting Bureau’s personnel to handle it.
In the distance on a desolate mountain, a figure in a white robe stood with hands behind his back at the peak, his pupils marked with the character "Ji", gazing tens of miles away at a naked man.
"Is that Chen Mo?"
"Hmm, quite interesting."
...
Inside the county governnt’s residence.
Inside the bedroom, Chen Mo was soaking in a bath, washing off the filth on his body.
He opened the system panel to check the information:
[Killed Demon Creature·Gray Otter, True Spirit 50.]
[Killed Demon Creature·Injured Demon Dragon, True Spirit 500.]
[Event completed.]
[Rating: Superb.]
[Received title: Heavenly Decree.]
[Longing while leaning on the railing under the night sky, imperial stars hang distant in the cold ether. Who to ask of rise and fall, only the high moon resembling a bow is visible.]
?
Chen Mo was slightly taken aback.
A superb rating, with only a title as a reward.
Moreover, the description of the title was vague and did not specify the actual effects.
Thinking of the purple radiance nad [True Dragon Qi], his expression turned sowhat odd.
"Could it be telling to rebel and beco an emperor?"
"Speaking of which, isn’t the Empress the leader of the rebels? According to her backstory, she ca to seize the national fortune. Even if she succeeds, she certainly wouldn’t drape the yellow robe over ..."
"Struggling all my life, yet returning still only as an Imperial Consort?"
"If that’s the case, I might as well make the Empress into the Imperial Consort and let the Imperial Consort beco the Empress, which would certainly have a different flavor..."
Chen Mo mused wildly in his mind.
But it was just a thought, such things were too impractical.
Besides the event reward, he had gained another thing—
He spread his palm, and laying quietly within was a pair of eyeballs.
The light blue pupils were as stunning as gems, with a black "Geng" character engraved in the center.
These were found in the stomach of the demon python.
[Received rare item: Geng-level Demon Eyes.]
[After absorption, can enhance proficiency level of eye-related Divine Skills and has a chance to gain other powers.]
"Great stuff!"
Chen Mo’s eyes lit up.
The Golden Eyes of Truth were very useful; even just the enhancent in level saved him from using a Dao Essence Crystal.
After choosing to absorb, the demon eyes turned into a stream of light and entered his eyes.
Simultaneously, in the attribute panel, a " " sign appeared next to "Golden Eyes of Truth."
", effort, sweat, points addition!"
Golden Eyes of Truth upgraded from "Beginner" to "Interdiate!"
Vision suddenly beca crystal clear, sight imnsely sharp, as if even the resolution had significantly improved.
Concentrating his Vision Power, it was as if a slow-motion button was pressed, everything in sight beca incredibly slow, floating dust in the air, the steaming vapor above the bath...
Slapping the water surface, the splashed droplets hovered weightlessly in the air.
Chen Mo flicked his fingers, and the water droplets transitioned from extre slow to extre fast, with a "bang" penetrated the distant screen!
"Is this the power brought by the Demon Eyes?"
"It’s like cheating... I like it!"
Slow-motion combined with extre dynamic vision, as long as his own speed was fast enough, the potential of this ability was imasurable!
And having mastered the fully-leveled Wind and Thunder Invocation, what he had in abundance was speed!
...
After tallying all his gains, Chen Mo relaxedly soaked in the bath.
Suddenly, his ears twitched; he heard the door quietly being opened, soone tiptoed up behind him.
Without needing to guess, he knew who it was.
"Li..."
Just as Chen Mo was about to speak, a pair of soft jade hands scooped up so water, gently wiping his back.
Li Yuan’s slightly embarrassed voice ca through:
"Don’t think too much, I’m just here to help you wash your back..."
Delicate hands, yet with enough strength, she continued to massage him after washing his back.
As a Martial Artist, she knew the human acupoints well and applied moderate pressure, swiftly taking away the fatigue from his body.
Chen Mo lay on the edge of the bath barrel, his eyes slightly closed, comfortably enjoying the "Tiger-style Massage".
Looking at his handso profile, Li Yuan’s cheeks turned slightly red, her eyes filled with tenderness.
She had no other thoughts, just knowing that Chen Mo had been working hard and wanted to do her best to help him relax.
Two quarters of an hour later, the massage was over.
"Alright, I..."
Li Yuan was about to leave.
Splash—
Chen Mo lifted his legs onto the edge of the bath barrel.
"My legs haven’t been massaged yet."
"...Oh."
Li Yuan, sowhat embarrassed, obediently massaged his legs for him.
When she reached the Jin Acupoint on the inner thigh, she suddenly noticed sothing, initially puzzled, then her cheeks quickly turned red, like peach blossoms blooming in spring.
"I, I-I-I have to go now!"
Li Yuan stuttered, turning around and fleeing in haste.
Chen Mo looked down and sighed helplessly, "Bearing a sharp weapon stirs the intention to use it, this can’t be blad on ..."
A prompt flashed in front of his eyes:
["Li Yuan" Favorability Rating increased.]
[Current progress: 61/100 (Affectionate).]
[Favorability Rating has reached the threshold, second stage reward unlocked.]
[Special item acquired: Concealing Ring.]
[Special material acquired: Demon-breaking teor Crystal.]
"..."
Chen Mo was montarily stunned, then his lips curled into a smile.
Truly worthy of being , the master of strategizing!
The Concealing Ring is a simple-looking ring, which can conceal one’s aura after being worn.
Unless there’s a huge gap in realms, it’s difficult to be detected, and even if swept by Divine Sense, it would unconsciously be ignored.
This can be said to be a essential item for ho travel and night explorations into ladies’ chambers!
The Demon-breaking teor Crystal, a material used in Artifact Refining, shares similar properties with the Demon-breaking Stone — light as a cicada’s wing yet very tough, able to be integrated into weapons.
"If the Empress’s vast Dao Power were to be made into an umbrella, I wonder if it could break through barriers..."
Chen Mo’s thoughts wandered.
Thump thump thump.
At that mont, there was a knock on the door.
Fu Nansong’s voice ca from outside, "Mr. Chen, soone from the Demon Suppression Departnt is here!"
Chen Mo puzzledly said: "So they’re here, why tell ?"
Fu Nansong’s voice sounded a bit troubled, "They insist on seeing you, they are waiting in the hall right now."
"See ?"
Chen Mo furrowed his brows.
The Demon Suppression Departnt, a special departnt established by the court after the "Three Saints Demon Suppression".
Unlike the multifaceted duties of the Sky Scale Guard, the Demon Suppression Departnt consists mainly of Magicians, handling only matters related to demons.
Their whereabouts are elusive and highly mysterious, and its mbers are collectively known as "Offerings".
"Let’s et then, I want to see what they’re after..."
...
Chen Mo dressed and walked out of the inner house.
Upon arriving at the hall, he saw a man in blue clothes sitting on a chair, arms crossed, looking arrogant.
Standing beside him, Qiu Longgang, hands on his hips and face deathly pale:
"You called who a sissy? Say it again if you dare, believe it or not, I’ll tear your foul mouth!"
The man in blue clothes didn’t even lift his eyelids and said indifferently, "Good words don’t bear repeating, if you want to fight, feel free to try."
Qiu Longgang’s chest heaved.
Although he was very angry, he still maintained basic sanity.
Magicians’ thods were always tricky, difficult for Martial Artists to handle, and this man’s cultivation was deep, unfathomable to him.
Chen Mo’s eyebrows raised.
This person from the Demon Suppression Departnt is quite arrogant?
Are they here to cause trouble?
Just as he was pondering which Token to show, the man in blue clothes spotted him, his expression brightened, and he quickly stepped forward, bowing deeply.
"Is this Mr. Chen?"
"Below the great fa there is no room for a diocre person, seeing you today is truly seeing soone extraordinary and majestic!"
?
Chen Mo’s hand, poised to fetch the Token, paused, his expression blank.
"Do you know ?"
The man in blue clothes smiled and said, "Although never t before, I have long heard of the great lord’s radiant appearance, like a firefly in the darkness, naturally recognizable at a glance."
Qiu Longgang: "..."
