I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Qin Yi felt his head buzzing after listening.

He thought it was just a simple demon slaying, but unexpectedly it involved three supreme beings, with even the Grandmaster as a mere backdrop...

"What is Chen's background, to be able to attract three Ultimate Venerables to act?"

"That Demon Clan didn't strike to kill, otherwise I would already be a corpse, probably because of Chen's influence..."

"Right, little junior sister..."

Qin Yi turned his head to look at Mu Yueyao lying on the ground.

Her face was pale, eyes tightly shut, still unconscious.

"No wonder Yueyao seemed strange these past few days; she was possessed by a demon!"

"It seems the dissipating vitality among the city's populace was her doing, deliberately informing us to lure Mr. Chen into the trap!"

"Demon Clan truly are innately cunning, employing any means possible!"

"Ridiculous that we thought we were here to help, yet nearly endangered Mr. Chen..."

Everyone shook their heads and sighed, ashamed with remorse.

Xu Man grabbed Mu Yueyao's wrist, carefully examining her injuries.

"Strange, Yueyao's body is perfectly normal, why hasn't she woken up?"

"Could that Demon Clan have done something?"

Several martial cultivators looked at each other, helpless.

If her flesh was damaged, they might be able to assist some, but when it comes to the divine soul, they're truly clueless.

At this point, a somewhat faint voice sounded:

"How about... I take a look?"

"Hmm?"

Everyone turned to see a white-haired woman slowly walking towards them.

Chen Mo's journey here was to rescue her; their relationship naturally goes without saying.

Qin Yi struggled to stand up, cupped his hands and said, "Then we'll trouble the lady."

Ye Henshui approached Mu Yueyao, a streak of green light flashed between her brows, casting upon Mu Yueyao.

Moments later, the green light ceased.

Ye Henshui looked slightly fatigued, took out a bottle of alchemy pills from her bosom, and handed it to Qin Yi, saying, "She's possessed by a demon, causing her divine soul to have suffered, but it's not serious... Grind this bottle of 'Awakening God Pill' and brew it in a decoction, once a day, she should wake in five days."

Qin Yi received the alchemy pills and cupped his hands again, saying, "Thank you, lady, for coming to the rescue."

The other disciples also bowed and said, "Thank you, lady."

"It's alright, after all, you were also injured because of me."

"Besides..."

Ye Henshui's cheeks flushed slightly, she whispered, "Friends of Chen Mo are my friends too, it's only right to help..."

Having heard this, Qin Yi suddenly understood, smiling, he said, "Upon hearing of the lady's predicament, Chen wholeheartedly jumped in without considering anything else, knowing full well it was a demon trap... Chen's feelings for the lady are truly moving!"

"You've misunderstood, he and I are not in that kind of relationship..."

Ye Henshui waved her hands continuously.

Though she spoke in denial, her heartbeat truthfully picked up pace.

Qin Yi perceived her shyness and refrained from continuing the topic.

"The lady has just escaped danger and is physically weak, let's rest for a moment and then head back to the Capital City together."

"Alright."

Ye Henshui nodded.

Then sat cross-legged, beginning meditation for recovery.

At this moment, the always sociable Xu Man approached, sitting beside her with a cheerful smile, saying, "The lady is truly beautiful, white and pure like a snow lotus, no wonder Mr. Chen is so enamored with you!"

"I'm not really..."

Ye Henshui wanted to explain, but Xu Man spoke without waiting for her, "Mr. Chen and Brother Qin are friends, naturally he's our elder, so calculating this way, calling you sister-in-law is reasonable... Sister-in-law, what's your surname?"

"Sis, sister-in-law?!"

Ye Henshui was flustered, her cheeks burning, eyes filled with shyness and confusion.

Xu Man sighed softly, saying, "When will I, like sister-in-law, encounter such a handsome, capable Ultimate Venerable who stands ready in times of crisis? Truly enviable..."

Ye Henshui bit her lip lightly.

Thinking of the comforting feeling when embraced by Chen Mo earlier, her gaze momentarily lost focus.

"That big bad guy isn't my Ultimate Venerable!"

"If he wants to bully me, let him bully me thoroughly, why be so nice?"

"It confuses the heart, truly vexing to death..."

...

...

Desolate Domain.

Red Blood Peak.

The mountains envelop the majestic peak, dark red cliffs resembling a blood blade piercing the sky.

Inside the mountain, within a study, the octagonal wall lamp faintly burns candles, casting flickering shadows on the ground.

Behind the silk screen.

A tall figure reclines in a chair.

She is over eight feet tall, dressed in a pleated Confucian robe, due to her towering stature, even loose clothing appears tight-fitting, shaping her curves vividly.

A pair of long legs with graceful contours, taut yet not slender, exuding a perfectly fitting aesthetic.

The hem barely covers the knees, revealing a section of her glossy, pearl-like calves, skin radiantly fair, almost seemingly glowing.

"I am incompetent, requesting the lord's punishment!"

A semi-transparent ghost lying on the ground, precisely the previously destroyed Jue Ning.

She underestimated He Yuzhi's strength, resulting in her flesh being destroyed; were it not for the demon eyes granted by the lord protecting her divine soul, she would be utterly dissipated now!

"Speak, what exactly happened?"

The tall woman spoke with her back to her, her voice calm, without any hint of emotion.

"Upon arriving in Central State, subordinate attempted to contact Lady You..."

Jue Ning recounted the events of the past days in full detail.

"After setting everything up, subordinate had Si Snake lie in ambush in the lake, simultaneously luring Chen Mo into the trap, but ended up being wounded by that Martial Arts Grandmaster instead..."
