I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 906 - 338: The Kept Cash Princess! Little Tiger’s Special Gift! (Part 2)
"Meow!" The cat shook its tail, indicating that the owner was the best!
Ji Lianxing blinked her eyes and secretly coaxed, "Speaking of which, you’ve been hanging around with Chen Mo for so long, do you know where his little treasure trove is? If you get me some silver, I’ll buy you dried fish."
"Meow?" The cat looked bewildered.
"You don’t know either?" Ji Lianxing sneered disdainfully, "Useless cat, you’re good for nothing except keeping company while sleeping."
"Meow..."
The cat drooped its head dejectedly.
Now the owner won’t even let him sleep with him...
Yet when he’s with others, it’s not like that at all. It must be because he’s not doing well enough, he needs to learn and practice more in the future...
...
...
After an unknown amount of time had passed, Chen Mo finally emerged from his state of epiphany.
Opening his eyes, his dark pupils were deep as whirlpools, with a faint silver light seemingly flashing between his brows.
"The stars align, the fortune chart..."
"This method seems similar to the deduction techniques of Tianshu Pavilion but actually has a fundamental difference."
"Daoist Venerable relies on understanding the origin, reverses cause and effect, and glimpses the heavenly secret."
"While the Director observes form and assesses situations, using methods like hexagrams, odd gates, and Taiyi, to sift through countless variables, selecting the one with the highest possibility."
Chen Mo mused secretly in his heart.
If one really must say which is better, Daoist Venerable’s means are definitely stronger, as established cause and effect deductions yield extremely precise results, with almost no deviation.
But this requires a truly high realm of achievement.
How many in the world can reach the Ultimate Venerable Realm and also have such profound understanding of the cause and effect law?
And "True Insight of the World" is different, even if the cultivation is insufficient, it can still find traces from appearance, situation, and divination, deducing the general trend, known as the best solution below the Ultimate Venerable.
"When I suddenly entered the Heavenly Human Realm, I also comprehended a bit of the cause and effect law, which can complement ’True Insight of the World’ and should have great use in the future."
Chen Mo did not rush to max out his proficiency.
On one hand, he wanted to reserve the Dao Essence Crystal for the "Ancient Spiritual Constitution," and on the other hand, he worried that advancing too quickly would arouse Qi Chengze’s suspicion.
Temporarily stuck between Mastery and Small Success, he has strong talent but isn’t exaggeratedly outlandish, he can use this as an excuse to request guidance at the Observatory.
Recalling the pattern behind Liu Miaozhi, Chen Mo’s eyes flickered slightly.
The secret hidden by the Xu Family might very well be concealed within the Observatory, this opportunity must not be wasted!
As he regained his senses, he looked up, and saw the sky outside dark and dim, already deep into the night.
At some point, the cat had climbed onto the bed, lying beside him on its back, while the paperman lay on its belly, the one human and one cat fast asleep.
The scene actually appeared quite harmonious.
Chen Mo didn’t make a sound either, casually tugging a small quilt over them, then continued to sit cross-legged and meditate, continuing his cultivation.
...
...
The next morning.
Ji Lianxing woke from sleep, rubbing her eyes drowsily.
Recently, to suppress the aura of the Dharma Conch, she had been maintaining a paperman state every day, sealing her cultivation, almost indistinguishable from an ordinary person.
She thought she would be very unaccustomed, but unexpectedly felt mentally relaxed, as if all the troubles were far from her, even sleeping was far more restful than before.
"Hmm?"
"Where is Chen Mo?"
She sat up and looked around, and after seeing the scene before her, her expression immediately stiffened, "What are you doing?!"
"Why shout? Making a fuss, never seen someone change clothes?"
Chen Mo was standing in front of the floor mirror, wearing only a pair of boxer shorts, his toned muscles fully visible, sculpted like they were hewn and chiseled.
The Cat Lady had transformed into human form, holding a black long robe in her hands, assisting him with dressing.
Ji Lianxing covered her eyes, complaining, "Can’t you avoid people..."
"Please, this is my house, I’m generous to not kick you out, have a bit of awareness yourself." Chen Mo spread his arms, putting on the long robe, as the Cat Lady wrapped her hands around his waist to tie the jade belt.
Though it was her first time assisting with dressing, her actions were incredibly skilled, evidently having learned much from Li Yuan, including the habit of adjusting trajectory with smooth precision.
After dressing up, Chen Mo examined himself in the mirror.
Long and straight as jade, standing tall as pine, the black and red patterned long robe fit perfectly, complementing the jade pendant on his waist, his fair and handsome face radiating nobility, like a gentleman flowing with purity in a chaotic world.
"This new official uniform fits quite well, but the Internal Affairs Office never took my measurements... It couldn’t be custom-made by the Empress Baby herself, could it?"
Knock, knock, knock—
At this moment, a knock sounded on the door, accompanied by a maid’s voice outside:
"Young Master, the Master and Mistress are already waiting in the Dining Hall for you, asking you to hurry for breakfast."
"Got it."
Chen Mo responded, turning to look at Ji Lianxing.
There she was, hands covering her eyes, but her fingers were spread wide, her bright eyes peeking through them in his direction.
Noticing Chen Mo’s gaze, she quickly turned her head, looking guilty like a thief.
"With you like this, just stay put during the day and hang out with the silly cat here, apart from me, nobody else will come into this room." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
Chen Mo hesitated for a moment, and took out several silver notes, tossing them in front of her, "There’s a lot to spend on, so be frugal."
Saying that, he simply walked out of the room.
Ji Lianxing was dazed for a while before coming back to her senses.
She tore open her belly, rolled the silver notes into a bundle, and carefully tucked them inside.
"Hmph, only gave this much, stingy." She muttered under her breath, yet her eyes gleamed with a clear smile.
