I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

I thought the new subject would definitely encounter obstacles everywhere, but I didn't expect it to be so smooth.

And all of this is thanks to Chen Mo!

"Although this little thief has a somewhat eccentric personality, he never muddles things when it comes to serious business. He always manages to surprise this palace..."

Chen Mo handed the mess over to Li Yuan, struggled to escape the encirclement, and stood before the Empress, smiling as he said, "How about it, Your Highness? Didn't I perform pretty well?"

"Not bad." The Empress clasped her hands behind her back, lightly humming, "I won't argue with you over what just happened."

Chen Mo blinked his eyes, "Just that?"

The Empress frowned, "What more do you want? You played around like that with this palace, and I haven't settled accounts with you yet!"

"Business is business, that's not without reason." Chen Mo whispered in her soft earlobe, "Actually, I didn't have any excessive thoughts either; I just wanted Your Highness to..."

?!

The Empress's face instantly flushed red and she stammered, "Isn't that excessive?! You little thief, how can you think about such messy things all day long?"

"Considering how dedicatedly I've worked to help Your Highness relieve burdens, shouldn't you show some appreciation?"

"But you can't ask for such a thing..."

"Your Highness..."

"..."

Seeing Chen Mo's "shameless" look, the Empress knew that if she didn't agree today, this matter would surely drag on...

She hesitated for a long time, biting her lip tightly and said, "Talk about it next time you enter the palace..."

With that, she fled headlong without looking back.

Chen Mo transmitted his voice, "Alright, I'll enter the palace tonight!"

"..."

The Empress staggered slightly, nearly falling to the ground.

Chen Mo shaded his eyes with his hand, admiring the graceful figure that couldn't be concealed even by the robe, with a slight curve at the corner of his mouth.

The Empress is still as cute as ever!

...

An hour later.

Most of the sect disciples have already signed the regulations, becoming "walkers" with some official background, temporarily under Li Yuan's command for leadership and training.

At first, someone was dissatisfied, but after taking a slash from Li Yuan, they had no more opinions.

"Sir, everything is arranged. They are now shouting to do tasks and accumulate contributions."

Li Yuan came before Chen Mo and said, "But these sect disciples don't understand the rules; they act loosely and need to be properly educated."

Chen Mo nodded, "Thanks for your hard work, Households Commander Li."

Li Yuan tilted her head and asked, "I've worked so hard, doesn't the leader have any rewards?"

"..."

Chen Mo's eyebrow twitched; why does this sound so familiar...

"Ahem, this is your duty; what kind of reward do you want?"

Chen Mo said fiercely, "It seems you didn't take my last warning seriously. You've just been promoted to Hundred Household Officer and are in the examination period, especially severe in tax matters! If any corruption is found, be careful that your officer's hat won't be protected!"

Li Yuan said defiantly, "I have a clear conscience, not afraid of your investigation!"

Chen Mo folded his arms, sneering, "You must be responsible for what you say! Once investigated, all tax evasion will be found! You'll be crying then!"

Li Yuan: "..."

...

...

Yunlong Village, deserted house.

In the side room, Ye Henshui gradually woke up and opened her eyes.

"Where am I?"

She vaguely remembered encountering a strange woman while wandering on the street last night, and then she knew nothing...

Looking around, her slightly confused eyes instantly cleared.

She found herself in an unfamiliar room, firmly bound to a chair, her whole body's Primordial Qi sealed, unable to move!

At this moment, the door opened, and a slender figure walked in.

Upon seeing her, the corners of her mouth curved into a clear arc, and her smiling eyes resembled crescent moons.

"You finally woke up."

"You haven't answered yesterday's question... What exactly is your relationship with Chen Mo?"
