I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Ye Henshui's expression turned stern upon hearing the words.

It was obvious that the opponent wasn't targeting him, but was coming for Chen Mo.

Judging by the emblem on her clothes, this woman should be a disciple of the Kuixing Sect. However, Kuixing Sect is a martial cultivation sect, and last night's bizarre black tide was clearly not a method that martials could use.

Besides, Chen Mo is now backed by the Imperial Consort and the Empress and also has close ties with Tianshu Pavilion. Unless the Kuixing Sect has lost its mind, they would definitely not mess with Chen Mo at this critical juncture.

"Chen Mo has indeed offended quite a few people, but those with the capability and courage to confront him are currently only the Demon Clan and the Princely Heir."

"Chen Mo has many confidantes, yet she specifically targeted me, an 'outsider.' It's evident she doesn't understand Chen Mo's interpersonal relationships well, which almost rules out the possibility of the Princely Heir's doing."

"So the answer is already obvious..."

Ye Henshui's thoughts raced as he recalled the "Zi Yan'er" possessed by the Demon Clan, and he already had the answer in his heart.

"Although I don't know how you concealed the array, it seems that the previous failures haven't taught you a lesson, and you still dare to cause chaos in Tiandu City?" Ye Henshui coldly watched Mu Yueyao and spoke.

Clap, clap, clap—

Mu Yueyao clapped her hands and smiled, "You're quite smart, being able to guess my identity in just a short moment... However, don't compare me to those previous failures; there's a fundamental difference between us."

"Hehe, what difference? You're all just a bunch of sewer rats who can't stand the light." Ye Henshui sneered.

Mu Yueyao didn't get angry at these words but calmly said, "What's wrong with rats? The Lord has said: A towering tree can be destroyed by tiny roots, and an ant's nest can break a dam! Just wait until we've gnawed through the foundation of the Great Yuan and let you see how this high tower crumbles!"

"Oh, no, first, you have to survive until then."

Mu Yueyao walked up to Ye Henshui, raised her index finger to lift her chin, her eyes enchanting, "For the sake of your good looks, I'm willing to give you another chance, to answer my question honestly, lest you suffer more pain."

Ye Henshui shook her head, "If you want to use me to deal with Chen Mo, then you've found the wrong person. He and I aren't even friends."

"Heh, still stubborn? It seems I'll have to use some methods."

Mu Yueyao and Ye Henshui locked eyes, and the character "戍" faintly emerged in her icy blue pupils.

Ye Henshui's pupils gradually became hollow, and fragmented images were reflected in Mu Yueyao's eyes.

"Moon Brilliance Sect... Holy Daughter..."

Although the information obtained this way is very limited, only seeing scattered fragments from recent days, it was enough for Mu Yueyao to deduce Ye Henshui's identity.

"It seems this so-called 'Moonlit Holy Maiden' is very close to Chen Mo, and this white-haired one in front of me is the Holy Maiden's junior sister..."

"If I can use her identity to lure Chen Mo out of the city..."

Mu Yueyao's eyes shone brilliantly as she pressed her index finger against Ye Henshui's forehead.

A translucent shadow gradually detached from her body, swirling a few times in the air before steadily pressing into the Spirit Platform along her finger.

Ye Henshui's eyes rolled back, her body trembled, and she appeared to be in great pain.

Yet just as the shadow was about to fully merge and completely take over the body, a blue radiance suddenly flared up!

Hiss—

The shadow shrieked and quickly retreated.

It emitted billows of white smoke as if burned by a Branding Iron, and its form was noticeably more diminished than before.

The shadow re-entered Mu Yueyao's body, solemnly watching the scene before her.

A piece of Spirit Jade tied with a thin string slowly rose from Ye Henshui's collar, radiating a dazzling light. Strands of blue Qi Flow intertwined, cocooning her protectively like a light cocoon.

"A protection charm Spirit Jade?"

Mu Yueyao furrowed her brow.

This Jade Pendant seemed extraordinary, likely impervious for the time being.

Her current identity was still that of a Kuixing Sect disciple. If she disappeared for too long, it would surely arouse suspicion.

After hesitating for a while, she set up several arrays around, securely concealing the presence, then turned and left the room.

Upon leaving the abandoned house, Mu Yueyao took to the sky, heading towards Tiandu City.

As soon as she entered the city, she saw several familiar figures wandering the streets, their eyes wide as copper bells, meticulously scrutinizing every corner.

"Senior Brother, Senior Sister." Mu Yueyao quickly approached.

"Yueyao, where did you go? We haven't seen you since last night, and you didn't attend the new class opening." Xu Man asked with a frown.

Mu Yueyao scratched her head and sheepishly smiled, "I drank too much last night, so I just found a random room to sleep and overslept, losing track of time..."

The crowd sighed in exasperation.

Among the disciples under the Sect Leader's tutelage, Mu Yueyao was the youngest, charming and cute, with a likable personality, making her quite favored within the sect, akin to a 'mascot.'

However, she was not very steady in her actions and a bit too playful.

"I won't mention past behavior, but now that we're in the Capital City, you'd better pull yourself together, or you'll risk missing important matters." Qin Yi spoke up.

"Yes, Senior Brother Qin, I realize my mistake." Mu Yueyao replied softly.

Seeing her pitiable demeanor, Qin Yi shook his head and said no more.

Mu Yueyao's bright eyes blinked curiously, "Senior Brother, what are you all doing?"

Qin Yi explained, "We've signed the protocol and become court-certified 'agents.' As long as we complete the assigned tasks, we can earn contribution..."
