Yu Youhan furrowed her brows.
Although Chen Mo usually liked to talk nonsense, it was only in private settings between the two of them. Now caught in bed devouring sothing unexpected, he shouldn't be reacting like this.
Upon closer inspection, he was breathing heavily, his gaze scattered. He seed rather unclear-headed.
Yu Youhan realized sothing, and her face darkened, "Ji Hongxiu, you dare to drug him?!
?
Ji Hongxiu paused for a mont, then shook her head saying, "How could I do such a thing? This is not what you think..."
"The facts are right in front of us, and you still want to argue?" Yu Youhan was furious, her eyes filled with murderous intent, coldly saying, "Appearing virtuous while secretly committing filthy deeds, snatching your own disciple's man, Ji Hongxiu, do you have no sha?"
"Who are you calling shaless?"
Ji Hongxiu was hit where it hurt, her cheeks flushed red as if bleeding.
"Back at the Chen Mansion, I suspected sothing wrong with you, but to deal with the Demon Lord, I montarily decided against confronting you... I didn't expect you'd go further than ever!"
Yu Youhan gritted her teeth, speaking one word at a ti, "Rember, this isn't over! Once I'm free, I'll take your life!"
Ji Hongxiu imdiately flared up too.
Regarding Ling Ningzhi, she truly felt guilty, but that was a matter between master and disciple, what did it have to do with this woman?
"If you have the guts, just try it, do you think I'm scared of you? Besides, the two of us are mutually in love, enjoying our affinity, what business is it of yours?"
"Ha, mutually in love? Do you think I'd believe your nonsense?"
"That's the truth, whether you believe it or not!"
Yu Youhan couldn't be bothered to argue any longer, turning her head to Chen Mo, she said, "Wake up, don't fall for this woman's devious trick, co over here and help untie the red ribbon first."
Chen Mo was currently muddle-headed, his awareness sluggish, unable to distinguish between reality and illusion.
Upon hearing this, he imdiately pounded his chest and said, "No need for Empress to worry, I alone can deal with this female demon!"
After saying that, he intensified his efforts, creating a tumult.
Ji Hongxiu's body trembled, biting her lip, trying not to make any sound.
Yet noticing Yu Youhan's cold gaze, the fire within her reignited, impulsively leaning into the other's ear, softly saying, "Honestly, your subordinate is really useful."
"Ji, Hong, xiu!"
Yu Youhan's eyes held such murderous intent as if she wished to devour her alive!
Ji Hongxiu showed no fear; back at the Chen Mansion, she had witnessed the power of the red ribbon, as long as Chen Mo didn't untie it, this woman couldn't use her cultivation anyway!
Matters had reached this point, she simply stopped suppressing herself, arching her long neck like a swan, her voice high-pitched with a hint of indescribable excitent.
"..."
Yu Youhan felt utterly stifled.
Ironically, she was still competing for favor with the Empress, only to be unaware her house was being stolen!
Beneath her plain gown, her body trembled slightly, the panic within her divine soul surged forward, the feeling was so clear, almost as if she was experiencing it firsthand!
"First Ling Ningzhi, now Ji Hongxiu, truly showing the nature of the teacher and the disciple!"
"Uh..."
"What sin has the palace committed..."
...
...
An hour later.
Chen Mo's consciousness gradually cleared.
His muscles were tense, veins bulging, a light mist rising from his body.
The tiger mark on his chest beca clearer, its fine hairs vivid, winding like a dragon, and the black dragon pattern coiled around his right arm shone intensely like a living creature slithering, exuding imnse pressure from his gold and green eyes.
"Hoo—"
Chen Mo took a deep breath, and the mark slowly faded.
He only rembered bathing in the Sword Washing Pool, absorbing a great deal of Sword Qi and Evil Qi, not only transforming with the Dragon Devouring Star but also achieving huge progress with the Nine Tribulations Cycle.
He thought it was a windfall.
Yet the next mont, he was overwheld by a torrent of murderous intent.
Thousands of years of pent-up negative emotions weren't easy to digest.
Had he not cultivated the Violet Extre Creation Mystic Art to mastery, his divine soul might have been scattered long ago, turning him into a soulless corpse!
"In the end, I've still gained greatly."
"Not only has my physical body beco tempered, but my divine soul has seen huge improvent, plus that black sword intent has advanced my martial path further... To be precise, I'm now at the Peak of Third Grade, reaching the 'Dao Identification' realm."
Chen Mo withdrew his mind, slowly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashed but quickly settled.
His entire aura beca extrely restrained, like a sheathed sword, showing no sharp edge, in a state resembling Huo Wuya.
"Where am I?"
Chen Mo then noticed sothing off about his surroundings, glancing down to see Ji Hongxiu's vacant eyes, limp like mud, as if all bones had been removed.
"Daoist Venerable? What's this..."
Before he could finish speaking, sight t a figure, and his expression instantly froze.
His neck turned chanically towards the other side of the bed—
The plain-colored gown clung tightly to her body from sweat, outlining her graceful curves, a red ribbon wound from chest, underarm, to thighs, binding her securely like a tortoise shell.
Disheveled black hair frad Qing Bi eyes filled with moisture, blankly gazing at the ceiling, appearing utterly lost.
"E-Emp... Empress?!"
