I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Although the two always argued, they had grown up together since childhood, and their bond was very deep... Hearing the term "Senior Sister," Gu Manzhi's heart trembled slightly, and she said in a somber voice, "Who bullied you? Tell me, and I'll kill him to vent your anger."

Ye Henshui's agate eyes quickly filled with mist.

Despite appearing tough and fearless in front of Jue Ning, at the end of the day, she was just an eighteen-year-old girl. How could she not be scared inside?

She was merely pretending to be calm.

Now finally shedding her disguise, her suppressed emotions came flooding out, and embracing Gu Manzhi, she cried out loud.

"Wah wah wah, I'm really so scared. That Demon Clan was terrifying, almost possessed me... And there's the giant snake; I'm most afraid of snakes... I thought I was definitely going to die... Wah wah wah..."

?

Gu Manzhi listened bewilderedly.

Demon Clan? Possession? Giant snake?

What kind of nonsense is this...

Ye Henshui cried for a good half an hour before her emotions gradually stabilized.

She raised her tear-streaked and lovely face, looking pitifully at Gu Manzhi, and choked, "Senior Sister, I'm hungry..."

Gu Manzhi: "..."

He instructed Yu'er, and soon, the kitchen prepared a few hot dishes and served them at the table.

Ye Henshui devoured the food ravenously, her cheeks puffed like a hamster.

"Eat slowly; no one's competing with you..."

Gu Manzhi looked helpless, seeing that she indeed had suffered quite a lot these past days.

"Burp~"

Ye Henshui, with eyes bigger than her stomach, was soon full, leaning back in her chair, rubbing her round little belly, feeling satisfied as she burped.

Gu Manzhi sat across from her, poured her a cup of tea, and said, "Tell me, what's the deal with the Demon Clan you mentioned?"

"It's like this, the day I left the Imperial Music Bureau, I suddenly encountered a mysterious woman..."

Ye Henshui recounted the events that had happened in detail.

Gu Manzhi's expression gradually turned serious.

She had never expected that it was the Demon Clan who had attacked Ye Henshui...

And from the Grandmaster Realm Demon Clan, no less?!

"Luckily, I had the Spirit Jade given by Master in the past as protection, otherwise I would have been possessed by that demoness, just like Zi Yan'er."

"That demoness wanted to use me as bait to lure Chen Mo, and Chen Mo foolishly came..."

"Then Lady Chen appeared, and the Demon Lord and Consort Yu also showed up..."

Ye Henshui paused as she took a sip of tea.

Gu Manzhi inquired, "Where's Chen Mo? Why didn't he return with you?"

Ye Henshui answered, "He was seemingly taken away by the Daoist Venerable of Tianshu Pavilion."

"Daoist Venerable?"

Gu Manzhi's brows furrowed deeper.

With Ling Ningzhi around, Chen Mo should not be in any danger.

Though his background was notable, it shouldn't merit the intervention of three Ultimate Venerables. There's certainly an unknown reason behind this...

At that moment, Ye Henshui thought of something, hesitated briefly, and cautiously said, "Holy Daughter, your relationship with Chen Mo cannot be kept hidden forever. Even if I don't say anything, Master will find out sooner or later... Have you thought about what you want to do?"

Gu Manzhi regained her thoughts, saying, "Chen Mo has obtained the Azure Darkness Seal and wants to use it as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Master for my freedom."

"Azure, Azure Darkness Seal?!"

Ye Henshui froze in disbelief.

"Is it true?"

Gu Manzhi nodded, "I've seen it with my own eyes; it's indeed true."

Ye Henshui fell silent for a moment.

Originally, Chen Mo had boasted confidently, then went silent, assumed it was just an empty promise to deceive the Holy Daughter.

Unexpectedly, he actually achieved it!

As a disciple of the Moon Brilliance Sect, Ye Henshui naturally understood what the Azure Darkness Seal meant!

To obtain this item from Consort Yu, Chen Mo must have made great efforts, yet he never mentioned it proactively...

"So it wasn't just empty talk."

"To go to such lengths for the Holy Daughter?"

Ye Henshui lowered her head, filled with an inexplicable envy along with a faint bitterness.

The men in this world don't seem quite as Master describes...

It's just that his eyes only see the Holy Daughter...

Gu Manzhi glanced at her, cleared her throat, and said, "Ahem, what are your thoughts on this matter?"

Ye Henshui asked, "What does it have to do with me?"

"Well, it's no harm if there's one more of you. If it's feasible, why not take you along too." Gu Manzhi grinned, "By then, I'll be the main one, and you can be the second, responsible for warming the bed for us both."

?

Ye Henshui's cheeks flushed bright red, stammering, "Who's going to warm your bed?!"

Gu Manzhi shrugged, saying, "I'm just suggesting it; whether you accept is up to you."

"But this way, you can legitimately practice with Chen Mo, and soon enough, the Green Jade Scripture will reach Mastery~"

"Think of the hardships endured during this time, are you willing to let it all go to waste?"

Hearing this, Ye Henshui was somewhat swayed, hesitated, yet shook her head, saying, "Master raised me to adulthood and imparted the method of cultivation; I cannot betray her no matter what."

"How could this be betrayal?"

"Change your perspective; to obtain the Azure Darkness Seal, you endured humiliation, sacrificed yourself, devoted yourself to Chen Mo... And all this was for the great revival of the sect."

"Master would only feel relieved, where would she blame you?"

Gu Manzhi's soft voice, luminous like a seductive succubus, rippled like a peach blossom.

"..."

Ye Henshui's expression was confused.

Though it seemed strange, somehow it made sense?
