I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 1047 - 388: Consort Yu’s Man! No One Understands Barbarian Slaves Better Than Me! (Part 2)

Afterward, Chen Mo walked over. In Qi Ye's bewildered gaze, he took out a wooden box from his bosom, "I heard you are very interested in this item? I brought it specially for you today."

As he spoke, he opened the lid, and Qi Ye's pupils suddenly contracted.

Inside the box lay a scarlet fleshy worm, its sharp teeth constantly gnashing, emitting a fishy, sweet, and sticky odor. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect?!

How could he have this thing?!

"Xuanzhen originally wanted to use women to nurture the Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect, but the plan failed, and the person died before it succeeded, so the Gu Poison Worm naturally perished with it."

"As for this one, I obtained it when I was destroying the Gu God Sect's base in Tiannan State. I kept it thinking it might be useful later."

Chen Mo chuckled lightly and said, "According to the Empress's original plan, she wanted to directly perform a Soul Search on you, but I felt it was not secure enough, and it would be too cheap for you..."

"So I decided to let you experience this feeling firsthand."

"Mm!!"

Qi Ye struggled desperately, a dreadful foreboding growing stronger in his heart.

Chen Mo forced a drop of fresh blood from his fingertip and dripped it onto the Gu Poison Worm. It quickly absorbed it like a sponge, and its color deepened from crimson to a darker red.

Compared to other Gu Poison Worms, the Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect is quite special.

Although it is extremely difficult to cultivate, there is no threshold for using it.

Once it is fed with Essence Blood in advance, it is considered to have successfully recognized its master. Once it parasitizes the host's body and completely seizes control, the host becomes a puppet at its mercy.

However, this is a very slow process.

After all, this thing has no offensive capability and is quite fragile. Typically, it is implanted into the body during intercourse, when the target's mind is in disarray and defenseless.

Then it travels along the bloodstream and meridians, finally settling in the heart, feeding on the blood from the Heart Meridian.

When it grows to a certain extent, it will devour the host's heart and replace it, completing the entire "possession" process at this point.

But Chen Mo had neither the time nor patience, so he opted for a forced "quickening."

"This thing has little effect on experts in the Grandmaster Realm, as it could be obliterated by Protective Gang Qi as soon as it enters the body. But in the current situation, you can only watch helplessly as your heart gets devoured, utterly powerless..."

"This feeling must be quite tormenting, right?"

Chen Mo took the Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect from the wooden box and brought it in front of Qi Ye.

The fleshy worm smelled the blood, wriggled its body, and burrowed through the hole in his chest.

Moments later, a chilling sound of gnawing echoed, Qi Ye's face turned ashen, and his eyes filled with a mixture of fear and despair, eventually evolving into deep-seated hatred.

"Impossible..."

"I actually lost to such a petty man!"

As a direct descendant of the Qi Family, he had always stood above others since birth, endowed with inexhaustible resources and wealth.

His aptitude for cultivation was exceptional, entering the Grandmaster Realm at only thirty-five and becoming a Third Grade Unity Cultivator, a talent recognized across the entire Jiu Zhou.

But even that wasn't enough for him.

The Qi Family had deep roots and branches, with its members widespread across Jiu Zhou, and a few had even joined the Holy Sect. The family lacked nothing in terms of talent.

To secure his place, he had to prove his value!

That's why Qi Ye came to the Southern Border, engaging in this shady "business"... all for the grand plan of the family, for the eternal prosperity of the Qi Family!

And the result?

All his cunning and preparations were thwarted by a mere Heavenly Qilin Guard Thousand Households?

"I am not reconciled..."

Under the Empress's suppression, Qi Ye had no room to resist.

The Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect feasted heartily, growing rapidly. In just half a stick of incense, it consumed the entire heart.

Qi Ye's eyes turned hollow and vacant, devoid of any spirit, like an empty puppet.

If you opened his chest, you would find the entire left chest hollowed out, with a plump Gu Poison Worm nesting inside, connected to numerous blood vessels, pulsating with each breath.

Snap—

Yu Youhan snapped her fingers.

The oppression lifted, and Qi Ye's movements returned to normal.

He rotated his neck a bit, seemingly still acclimating to this body, then soon returned to normalcy and bowed to Chen Mo.

"Master."

After being controlled by the Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect, the toxins interfere with the mind, instilling an instinctual reverence for the one who implanted the Gu, absolutely obedient, even to the point of committing suicide without hesitation.

Watching Qi Ye's drastically changed demeanor, a cold glimmer flashed in Chen Mo's eyes.

If the other side had truly succeeded in controlling court officials, the consequences would be unimaginable, and even Chen Zhuo might have been implicated!

So, what exactly does the Qi Family intend to do?

"Don't call me Master, it's a bit nauseating. Just call me Mr. Chen."

"Yes, Mr. Chen."

"Tell me everything you know, in detail..."

"Yes..."

...

...

The sky's edge turned pale, and after a night of torrential rain, it finally ceased. Drizzle trickled down the eaves of the State Mansion roof.

Several charred bodies were piled in the courtyard, with the Mystic Armor Guard clearing away the remains.

Inside the hall, the place was in disarray, the banquet had ended.

During this evening banquet, thirty-three officials were reported, and excluding those who were wrongfully accused, twenty-one of them were confirmed to have committed crimes of varying degrees.
