I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 1063 - 394: When Love Runs Deep! The Empress’s Fragrant Skirt!
The Great Yuan prohibits private mining of Red Sand, so the fireworks sold among the commoners are not made from Intense Burning Powder, but are talismans mass-produced by the cultivators, activated through the Spirit Gathering Array engraved on the fireworks rack.
After all, there are too many bottom-level Loose Cultivators in this world. Limited by talent or resources, they are unable to break through their Mortal Body for a lifetime and can only rely on limited means to earn Silver Coin for basic survival.
The disturbance at the scene did not last long, as everyone only thought this was some kind of improved talisman paper.
However, those two lines of poetry resonated with many people.
"To have the heart of one person, to never part till gray-haired? The words are full of obsession, I wonder which family's girl is so lucky..."
"Don't say it, I'm starting to believe in love again."
"Wuwuwu, Xiao Fang, I miss you."
The Empress looked up at the night sky, the colorful words reflected in her eyes, while the surrounding noise gradually became indistinct.
Only she knew that this was a firework uniquely belonging to her.
"Your Highness, is it beautiful?" Chen Mo asked.
The Empress regained her composure, her eyes filled with joy, yet she deliberately replied with a stern little face, "You have so many girls around you, according to my opinion, there are a few strokes missing from this line; it should be 'wish to have the heart of many' instead, right?"
"Though you speak of never parting till gray-haired, it sounds nice, but when I truly have white hair and grow old and decrepit, you will definitely dislike me."
The Empress wasn't intentionally picky but was truly concerned.
Though she has the blessing of Dragon Qi and has taken the Youthful Elixir, allowing her to nearly maintain her appearance unchanged, she is, after all, merely a mortal, ultimately unable to escape the ravages of time, while Chen Mo is perpetually surrounded by young and beautiful girls.
As time passes and her beauty fades, will he still like her as he does now?
"Does Your Highness not trust me?" Chen Mo frowned.
The Empress's gaze drifted, speaking softly, "I believe you are sincere at this moment, but the human heart is not unchanging. New laughter is heard while old tears are unseen—such stories are not uncommon in folklore…"
"…"
Furious yet amused, Chen Mo said, "What kind of toxic literature do you read every day?"
"That's just how they are written in books," the Empress muttered softly.
Seeing her concern, Chen Mo took a deep breath and solemnly said, "For me, this is not a promise lightly given, but a decision made after weighing countless times."
He held up her lovely face, staring into those clear eyes, "I know there is a huge difference between our statuses, and we may face countless difficulties and obstacles in the future, but as long as I can be with you, nothing else matters to me."
"No matter life or death, our words are true; holding your hand, growing old together, even if your hair turns white, it doesn't matter. You'll always be my beloved Chan'er."
"There are many places we haven't been to, many delicious things we haven't tried, and we haven't had a cute baby yet...Life is just beginning, and the road ahead is long."
"Holding your hand, growing old together?"
The Empress gazed at Chen Mo, mist gathering in her eyes.
A warm stream seemed to gurgle within her chest, gradually filling her entire heart.
The previous anxiety, hesitation, and gain and loss disappeared entirely, leaving only unbreakably deep feelings.
"Hateful, always making me cry," the Empress rubbed her tearful eyes, turning her delicate head and biting her lip, "Also, who wants to have a baby with you? I...I haven't decided yet!"
"It's only a matter of time."
Chen Mo smiled, then remembered something and said, "By the way, I have something I want to give to Your Highness."
He took a wooden box from the Heavenly Profound Ring and opened the lid, revealing a white cocoon inside.
"What is this?" the Empress asked curiously.
"This is a little trinket I accidentally obtained during the eradication of the Divine Sect base, called 'Emotional Gu'," Chen Mo said, holding the Empress's soft hand, and piercing her fingertip with True Yuan, dripping a drop of blood onto the cocoon, then repeating the process himself.
As the two's Essence Blood was absorbed, the cocoon began to tremble.
Before long, a golden butterfly broke out, its wings slowly unfolding, about half a palm in size, decorated with unique patterns.
Its wings fluttered, soaring into the air, dancing around them, its golden phosphorescence shimmering like stars.
"So beautiful~"
The Empress extended her slender hand, and the butterfly seemed to have a spirit, landing steadily on her fingertip.
"This Gu Poison Worm requires no feeding and subsists on emotions. As long as the bonded partners are mutually affectionate, it can live for decades without issue," Chen Mo said, "But if someone changes their heart, it will wither and die within an hour."
"That's incredible?"
The Empress blinked her eyes.
She sensed a subtle, almost intangible connection between herself and the butterfly.
The Emotional Gu can perceive emotions through fluctuations in thoughts; should the couple's feelings fracture, becoming indifferent and distant, it will starve itself to death.
"It's easy to deceive others, but hard to deceive oneself," Chen Mo smiled and said, "Is Her Highness still worried that I'll change my heart now?"
The Empress's cheeks blushed, humming lightly, "With the little butterfly watching you, naturally I feel much more at ease. Let's lay down the ugly words first: if it encounters problems, I'll chop up the culprit's wrongdoer and soak them in wine!" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
?
Chen Mo's mouth twitched, "That would be quite nutritious."
…
...
As the fireworks faded, the surrounding onlookers gradually dispersed.
Chen Mo found a glass jar, placed the butterfly inside, and named it "Chan Baby".
