I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 1005 - 374: The Empress Can’t Hold It In! Hand-to-Hand Combat at the Daoist Temple!

"Sorry, I really didn't mean to."

Chen Mo felt a bit embarrassed at this moment, silently reciting the Heart Clarity Spell in his mind, trying to force himself to calm down, but that sensation in his heart did not dissipate at all, instead it intensified.

Xu You's ears were burning hot, her teeth clenched tightly, "We've only known each other for a few days, and you are so forward with me. Do you plan to bully every female subordinate this way? Can you face... can you face Households Commander Li doing this?!"

Clearly, she had already changed her appearance, looking just like an ordinary person, yet he was still having improper thoughts?

Moreover, it was right at the foot of someone else's wall, with two women inside still polishing a mirror...

This was truly absurd!

"Shh, someone is coming, I'll explain to you later..."

The sound of footsteps gradually approached, Chen Mo gestured for her to be silent, the two maintained their posture, motionless.

A figure dressed in blue, Little Butterfly strode into the courtyard, arriving before the side room, she raised her hand and knocked on the door, "Lady, I have something to report to you."

The mining sound in the room temporarily paused, Hua Yinglan's displeased voice sounded, "Can you see what time it is now? Can't it wait until tomorrow to speak?"

"It's news from the Daoist..." Little Butterfly murmured.

Once those words were spoken, the air instantly turned silent.

Creak——

A moment later, the door was pushed open.

Hua Yinglan was draped in a thin gauze robe, the candlelight illuminated from behind, vaguely revealing her curves, her snow-white cheeks still bearing an unexplained blush.

While Little Butterfly's expression remained calm and expressionless, she was evidently accustomed to the scene.

"Where is the item?" Hua Yinglan asked.

"Please take a look, Lady." Little Butterfly presented a letter.

Hua Yinglan reached out to take it, unfolded it, and began to read carefully, her brows furrowing tighter, as she read the last word, the paper spontaneously ignited, turning to ash and dispersing with the wind.

"Indeed, troublesome..."

Hua Yinglan sighed softly.

Little Butterfly inquired, "Was it because of what happened at Pear Cloud Hall?"

"Yes, but not entirely." Hua Yinglan said in a deep voice, "According to the letter, there was an accident on Tiannan's side, temporarily interrupting the supply of herbs, which has also prevented the goods in our hands from being processed."

"Plus, given today's incident, the city is anxious, buyers are afraid to trade rashly, it may take some time before we can offload them."

Hearing this, Little Butterfly's expression grew serious, "What should we do? The merchant ship has been moored in the port, surely it will arouse suspicion."

"We can give them three days at most, if they still don't come to take over, we'll have to destroy the goods on site." Hua Yinglan mused briefly and said, "The affair at the theater is definitely no accident, we are also likely to be targeted, so we must act cautiously recently."

"Increase patrols on the merchant ship and the manor, report any situations immediately."

"Understood." Little Butterfly nodded.

Afterward, she hesitated for a moment, saying, "And Mr. Ming, what does Lady intend to do with him?"

"That's not your concern, I'll handle it with the government office." Hua Yinglan said, "Alright, you may go now."

"Yes."

Little Butterfly said no more, bowed and withdrew.

Hua Yinglan gazed into the pitch-black night, a shadow flickering in her eyes.

Actually, besides the arrangement of "goods," the letter specifically mentioned the need to eliminate Ming Yuchun swiftly to prevent unnecessary trouble.

But... 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Lady, did something happen?" came Ming Yuchun's voice from the bedroom.

Hua Yinglan snapped back to reality, took a deep breath, barely managed to put on a smile, shut the door, and turned to enter the room, "Just a minor trouble at the pier, nothing major... let's continue..."

Soon, undulating soft murmurs escaped through the window crack.

Behind the corridor column, the two did not move rashly.

Chen Mo could clearly sense that Little Butterfly hadn't gone far but silently circled to the backyard, staring intently through the hollowed-out window at the side room.

"Could she have found us?"

"No, it seems she's watching Lady Hua..."

"It appears they are indeed involved with the Gu God Sect."

"The unexpected occurrences at Tiannan... are they referring to the bases we destroyed? What herbs are they talking about? And the so-called processing..."

While he was pondering secretly, Xu You's transmission suddenly reached his ears, "Can you speak now?"

"Speak about what?"

Chen Mo was momentarily unresponsive.

Xu You glanced downward, coldly said, "Didn't you say you'd give me an explanation?"

Even in such a situation, she still held her head high, showing no sign of yielding.

"Now is not the time to discuss this..."

Watching her resentful eyes, Chen Mo hesitated slightly, sighed, and helplessly transmitted, "Though you may not believe it, you indeed give me a very familiar feeling, despite your completely different appearance, that unique aura reminds me of someone."

"Who?" Xu You asked.

"Remember, the first time we drank together I mentioned a woman to you?" Chen Mo said.

Xu You blinked, "You are talking about that female demon in your heart, who embodies beauty, strength, charm, and mystery?"

"You remember quite well." Chen Mo nodded, "That's right, it's her."

"Just because my aura has a few similarities with hers, you're reacting this much?" Xu You tilted her head slightly.

"That's the case indeed."

Chen Mo responded sincerely, "Many things can't be explained clearly, she is extremely special to me, and I am equally special to her, nothing can sever our bond."

"In other words, everything I do is for the day when I can stand openly by her side."
