I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 895 - 334: Incompetent Empress! Yu Youhan: Are You All Done Yet?! (2)

Ling Ningzhi looked up, puzzled, "Did it sound like someone was talking? Mr. Chen, did you hear that?"

"..."

Chen Mo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and whispered, "Maybe it came from next door, it seems the soundproofing of this inn isn't very good..."

"Not soundproofed well?" Ling Ningzhi was taken aback, then quickly realized, her face suddenly flushed, and she stammered, "Then, then last night's noise, didn't others hear it all?!"

Thinking about how she was confusedly coaxed by Chen Mo into calling him "good brother," she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

In fact, Chen Mo had already set up a magical barrier, not to mention next door, even if someone was leaning against the door they couldn't hear a thing.

But it was hard to explain to her, so he could only brace himself and say, "Neither of us is in some shady relationship, and besides, just by sound alone, no one could guess our identities."

"That's true..."

Ling Ningzhi covered her cheeks, feeling like she was sitting on pins and needles, "Ah, let's just leave for now."

"Alright then." Chen Mo nodded agreeably.

After they quickly got dressed, Ling Ningzhi was so embarrassed she didn't even walk through the front door, but flew out through the window.

Once they left, the room fell silent.

The air blurred momentarily, and a tall, graceful figure slowly appeared.

Yu Youhan leaned against the table, her heaving chest betraying her emotion, her eyes moist and full of resentment.

"Not only did I hear it, but it nearly tortures me to death!"

"That dog-like lackey is becoming more and more outrageous!"

Since she was forced into a "long-distance connection" yesterday, she hadn't had a moment's peace all night.

She initially wanted to forcibly take Chen Mo away, but was afraid she'd accidentally trigger the red silk, and end up helpless again like the last time, so she could only hide in the shadows and endure silently...

She barely managed to make it to daylight, thinking it was finally over, only to find out the two were planning to continue!

Finally unable to hold back, she shouted.

"Every time it's that Ling Ningzhi, truly what kind of mentor breeds what kind of disciple!" Yu Youhan gritted her teeth in anger, "One day, I'll destroy Tianshu Pavilion!"

"Hmm..."

"I'm feeling awful, better go home and take a bath."

She took a breath, raised her hand to tear open the void, and her figure vanished suddenly.

...

...

After all, it wasn't the first time being caught, Chen Mo quickly calmed down.

The empress had a hard mouth but a soft heart, easy to coax, at most he'll just visit the palace and massage her feet...

After they left the inn, they headed straight towards the Demon Suppression Department.

After all, he was still an honorary tributor of the Demon Suppression Department, and such a big event had occurred, he naturally couldn't completely stay out of it.

Arriving at the east suburb, from afar, they saw layers of green tiles and majestic high walls that isolated the courtyard from the outside world. The damaged houses had been repaired and the defensive arrays reinforced. Coming closer, there was even a faint feeling of pressure at one's back.

It seemed a lot of effort had been invested.

Entering through the front gate, dozens of tributors clad in green were practicing alchemy in the courtyard.

Every one of them wore a serious expression, the pressure was low, and there was none of the previous relaxed, careless atmosphere.

"Ever since that Monk Huineng broke into the Demon Suppression Department and injured Grandpa, everyone's been holding back their anger, emotions are tense..." Ling Ningzhi said in a low voice.

Chen Mo naturally understood.

As one of the court's most mysterious departments, those who could be selected into the Demon Suppression Department were all prodigies and talented youths. Usually, each one had great pride, but now they had been trampled upon by a bald monk, which was nothing short of a humiliated disgrace for them.

But for now, there was no way to exact revenge, so they'd just have to swallow it down...

"Mr. Chen, you've come."

"Greetings, Mr. Chen."

When the tributors saw Chen Mo, they got up to greet him, eyes filled with admiration.

The story of Chen Mo slaying the Demon Clan at the temple, protecting the master, had spread, and he even slew the mastermind Chu Heng, raising his prestige in the Demon Suppression Department to a new height.

"Master Chen!"

A familiar voice called out.

Chen Mo looked up to see a man wearing a dark embroidered robe, quickly approaching and bowing deeply, "Disciple greets Master Chen!"

"You are... Qu Sifan?"

Chen Mo examined him for a while, almost not recognizing him, "Why did you change your look?"

Before, this guy often blew up the cauldron, so he always had a frizzy hairstyle, looking very unkempt, but today he was dressed neatly, even styled his hair.

"Well, it's because I'm getting older, can't get a wife, family pressures, so I thought I'd emulate Brother Chen?"

Li Siya walked over, scoffing, "Wearing the same color clothing is one thing, but even the headband and jade pendant are identical, does your house not have mirrors, didn't you even relieve yourself, to look at your own form?"

Qu Sifan didn't mind the ridicule, he flicked a strand of hair from his forehead and said elegantly, "Mr. Chen has the grace of jade and gold, like an exiled immortal, naturally something us mortals can't compare to, but if I could capture just three parts of his charm, then I'd already be quite the striking figure."

"..."

Where's the charm in that?

Li Siya's mouth twitched, he nearly wanted to relieve himself on the spot to show him.

"Oh, right." Qu Sifan turned to Ling Ningzhi, and seriously asked, "Chief Ling, are the alchemy pills sent to the south suburb still enough? The Alchemy Department is rushing to prepare the next batch, expected to be ready by tomorrow afternoon."

Ling Ningzhi shook her head, "The injured have stabilized for now, there's no longer a need for so many alchemy pills."

Hearing this, Qu Sifan and Li Siya were both stunned.

"Clearly, so many people died just the day before yesterday, how come they're suddenly all healed?"
