I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

?

Chen Mo was momentarily stunned.

He had originally thought that the Daoist Venerable would break up the couple, forcing him and Ling Ningzhi apart, but unexpectedly, he was being taken as a disciple?

"Did you drink fake wine?" Chen Mo cautiously said, "Or else why are you starting to talk nonsense?"

"..."

Ji Hongxiu frowned and said, "I am serious. If you want to be with Qingxuan, you must join the Tianshu Pavilion."

This decision was not made on a whim but after careful deliberation.

Firstly, Chen Mo could help her suppress the Dao Pattern, but it's not a solution to sneak around all the time.

If she could take Chen Mo under her wing, she could legitimately interact with him in the name of passing on knowledge—who says you can't cultivate while in bed?

As long as she could counteract the Heavenly Dao's malice, giving her enough time, with her talent and comprehension, she was sure to further progress, breaking through the Source Wall in no time!

Secondly.

Currently, Ling Ningzhi is deeply in love with Chen Mo, with her Dao Heart clouded and losing its clarity.

You might not see any abnormalities now, but if in the future Chen Mo betrays her, her Dao Heart might shatter, and her immortality path would be completely severed!

This is the difference between Extreme Emotion and Forget Love.

The Heavenly Dao is impartial and emotionless, fair to everyone, but the human heart is elusive and full of instability.

However, it's too late to say anything now, as emotional threads are like a bone cancer, once planted hard to eradicate.

All Ji Hongxiu could do was keep a close eye on Chen Mo, preventing any unexpected developments!

"This guy is slippery, fickle, Qingxuan will definitely suffer being with him, I must keep a close watch on him!"

"Don't think he's so hard-headed now, once he joins my sect and cultivates the Tianshu Pavilion's Daoist Skill, he'll naturally respect me like a god!"

After discovering Ling Ningzhi had lost her virginity, Ji Hongxiu was even more determined in her thoughts.

This disciple, she was set on taking!

Chen Mo saw she seemed serious, and was a bit flustered, wondering what this crazy woman was up to?

"If I remember correctly, Tianshu Pavilion is a sect for female cultivators, right?"

"It used to be, not anymore."

"..."

Actually, there's no such rule in the Tianshu Pavilion's ancestral teachings.

It's just that the Daoist Venerable herself was very averse to men, and coupled with the sect's promotion of the Forget Love path, to keep disciples from being affected by romantic feelings and focus on cultivation, it simply stopped recruiting any male disciples.

Over time, it became known as a female cultivator's sect.

But that was Ji Baixiu's rule, what does it have to do with Ji Hongxiu?

"You are already a Daoist and Martial Dual Cultivator, with Dao Power contained within, you can totally cultivate the techniques of my sect."

"This is no empty talk; if you join under my tutelage, I will teach you all I know without holding back, the methods of Tianshu Pavilion are far beyond your imagination, these are things Yu Youhan could never teach you."

"And moreover..."

Ji Hongxiu's willow leaf eyes slightly narrowed, her voice carrying a hint of seduction, "This way, you can be openly with Qingxuan."

Chen Mo was silent.

He couldn't deny that the Daoist Venerable's proposal was very tempting.

Tianshu Pavilion, being the Holy Sect, has a heritage accumulated over millennia with an astonishing and unimaginable foundation.

Not to mention, just from mastering the Thunder Technique previously shown by Ling Ningzhi, his strength would surely have a leap in enhancement!

But, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

The Daoist Venerable offering such generous terms must have ulterior motives...

"After all this talk, what do you want from me?" Chen Mo asked directly.

Ji Hongxiu smiled and said, "There's no particularly demanding requirement, just accompany me in bed a few times every month."

"..."

Chen Mo's mouth twitched slightly.

Does she really think I'm a scenic spot to be played with? This woman undoubtedly harbors bad intentions!

"Rest assured, I don't plan to do anything to you; it's just to suppress the Dao Pattern..."

Ji Hongxiu paused before continuing, "You can think it over carefully; after all, it contains numerous benefits for you without any harm."

"No need to consider further." Chen Mo decisively said, "I refuse."

Ji Hongxiu's eyebrows knitted in confusion, "Don't you want to be with Qingxuan?"

Chen Mo shook his head, "I absolutely won't part with Zhi'er, even you as the Daoist Venerable can't stop me."

Ji Hongxiu's expression sank, and she sneered, "Heh, your strength is lacking but your tongue is bold. If I take Qingxuan back to the sect and prevent you two from meeting, what could you do?"

"Unless you kill me now, otherwise, one day, I will step into the Ultimate Venerable Realm, and that day won't be far off. Then, I will personally go to Fuyun Mountain to bring Zhi'er back." Chen Mo's tone was calm, as if stating a fact.

This was not an empty threat.

It had only taken him a few months to break from Secondary Sixth Rank to Fourth Rank, and within five years, he had every confidence to ascend to First Rank!

"I believe that the terms I have offered are adequate, so what's your reason for refusal? Worry that Yu Youhan will punish you if she finds out?" Ji Hongxiu asked in a deep voice.

Chen Mo responded frankly, "If I were to acknowledge you as my master, although the Empress would be very angry, in the end, she would probably helplessly accept it."

Ji Hongxiu became even more puzzled, "Then why are you still reluctant?"

Chen Mo replied lightly, "The Empress always tolerates me unconditionally, but all hearts are made of flesh, and she will also feel aggrieved and unhappy at times. I don't want to see her sad."

The Daoist Venerable is deep-minded, scheming, and a nemesis to the Empress.

Between him and the Empress, there is a bond of red silk, intertwined destiny, if this matter is exploited by the Daoist Venerable, it could very well become a weapon against the Empress... how is this different from betrayal?

"Zhi'er, I'm sorry, wait for me."

Gazing at Ling Ningzhi's breathtakingly beautiful sleeping face, Chen Mo's eyes were gentle as he reached out to pinch her cheek.
