I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

?!

Mu Yueyao's expression instantly froze.

Although this black cat had no trace of demon energy and almost seemed indistinguishable from an ordinary cat, the moment she saw those heterochromatic eyes, she was certain—

This was Lady You!

"No wonder Lady You couldn't be found anywhere; she was actually imprisoned here?!"

Mu Yueyao snapped back to her senses, a glint of coldness flashed in her eyes as she secretly clenched her fists.

You Ji was the master's close attendant, holding a revered position within the Demon Clan. Now, however, her cultivation was lost, and her divine soul was sealed in a black cat, trapped in a cage like a pet...

This was a blatant insult to the entire Demon Clan!

Absolutely intolerable!

"Lady You, please endure for a while longer; I will definitely find a way to rescue you!"

Mu Yueyao silently vowed in her heart.

However, at that moment, the black cat skillfully reached out to unhook the door latch and lazily stepped out.

With graceful ease, it leaped onto the table, rubbed its head against Chen Mo's hand, then flipped over to lie on its back, exposing its white belly, and looked at him expectantly.

Chen Mo, who was talking with Qin Yi, casually petted it a couple of times.

"Meow~"

The black cat twisted its body, letting out a content and pleasurable meow in a delicate voice that gave one goosebumps.

Such a coquettish cat!

"..."

Mu Yueyao's eyes trembled slightly, filled with disbelief, which quickly turned into boundless grief and indignation.

"Lady You, how did you get turned into this?!!"

...

...

Chen Mo and Qin Yi left the Sky Scale Guard.

Since this matter might involve the Demon Clan, Chen Mo intended to go to the Demon Suppression Department to gather people, but Ling Ningzhi insisted on following. She was much more useful than those enshrined officers.

After leaving the city, the four headed rapidly towards Linglan County.

They arrived at the county town before noon.

In the main city, there were three medical halls, none of significant size, and suddenly dozens of patients had appeared, with undiagnosed illnesses that left them lying in bed as their vitality slowly drained away.

They entered one of the medical halls named Jisheng Hall.

Upon entering the door, they saw a woman kneeling in front of Xu Man, with a child on a stretcher beside her, weeping and pleading, "Immortal Master, please save my son, he's only eight years old..."

The child's face was full of wrinkles, his hair was white, and he looked aged and decrepit.

"Get up quickly, don't be like this."

Xu Man hurriedly helped the woman up, her expression full of helplessness.

They had already taken out all the Pei Yuan Pills they had, but after these patients consumed the alchemy pills, their effects dissipated in moments, proving utterly ineffective.

This child's situation was relatively better; being young, his body still had a lot of vitality left, allowing him to hold on for a while longer.

However, those elderly who were already frail and weak were now gasping for breath, barely holding on.

"What in the world is going on?"

Xu Man clenched her teeth.

At this moment, a tall figure stepped forward.

Upon seeing who it was, Xu Man's expression immediately brightened, "Mr. Chen!"

Chen Mo crouched down, grasped the child's wrist, True Yuan circulated through the body, and his brow furrowed tightly.

"Indeed, the same loss of vitality, organ failure, identical to the last incident..."

"After killing the Blood Flood Dragon, we clearly checked before, their bodies showed no abnormalities, why did this suddenly worsen?"

Qin Yi spoke up, "Mr. Chen, should we have doctors from the capital come to take a look?"

The doctors in Linglan County, at best, were only at the eighth rank in Medical Dao, suitable for treating common colds or minor injuries, but the current situation was clearly beyond their capabilities.

At least a Fourth Rank doctor would be needed to handle this.

"No need for such trouble."

Chen Mo raised his hand and pointed to the child's forehead.

Green light sank into him, and the child's white hair quickly turned black, his wrinkles vanished, and he instantly appeared vibrant, sweeping away his previous lifelessness.

"Mom, I think I'm okay now..."

The child sat up, his voice crisp and clear.

"Dear child!"

The woman cried out in surprise, hugging her child with tears of joy.

?

The disciples of Kuixing Sect were dumbfounded, their mouths wide open.

This... was cured just like that?

"How is this possible?!"

Mu Yueyao stared at Chen Mo in disbelief.

The woman regained her composure, looked up at Chen Mo with red eyes, and said, "You must be Mr. Chen from the Sky Scale Guard, right? You're the one who saved my child from the demon last time, and now you've saved his life again..."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, thank you, Mr. Chen..."

Bang, bang, bang—

The woman knelt to the ground, kowtowing earnestly.

The child beside her also followed suit, mimicking her actions, "Thank you, big brother~"

"It was a trivial matter, no need for such formalities."

Chen Mo gently lifted his hand in a supporting gesture, a gentle breeze lifted the two figures.

He then asked, "When did his condition start?"

The woman wiped her tears and answered, "It probably started two nights ago. After playing outside for a while, he fell ill suddenly with no warning, and the doctor couldn't find the cause, only watching him get worse..."

"Two nights ago?"

Chen Mo slightly raised an eyebrow, looking at the young boy, he asked, "Did you encounter anything strange that day?"

The boy thought for a moment and said, "That day, I was playing by the river with Zhuzi. We saw a small boat on the river, and an aunt wearing a dress on it waved at me..."
