I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

"Oh."

Chen Mo turned around and walked out of the room.

He Yuzhi looked at the invitation card and suddenly thought of something.

"Wait a moment..."

"Could the surprise Her Majesty the Empress mentioned be this Miss Lin?! Could it be that she intends to arrange a marriage for Mo'er?!"

The more He Yuzhi thought about it, the more it seemed plausible, and her expression gradually turned serious.

Although the Lin Family had fallen into decline, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. In terms of reputation and status in the capital, they were still above the Chen and Shen families.

If the Empress truly issued a decree, the dynamics of the court would undoubtedly shift!

The Empress not agreeing to the marriage alliance between the two families might very well be because of such considerations...

"When the Empress told me that 'The Chen Family is stuck between a rock and a hard place,' what exactly was she implying?"

"Could it be that Her Majesty the Empress and the Empress have reached some agreement, needing the Chen Family to act as a mediator?"

He Yuzhi fell into deep thought.

At this moment, Chen Fu asked, "Madam, should this invitation card be replied to?"

He Yuzhi snapped back to reality, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said, "Since the Lin Family has made it to this point, we should at least show them some respect... You go and return the card, and arrange a meeting for today. I would like to see what Lady Jin Yun is truly up to!"

"Yes."

Chen Fu responded and withdrew.

The study room fell silent, He Yuzhi leaned back in her chair and sighed softly.

"Tianshu Pavilion, Moon Brilliance Sect, Lin Family... Just how many girls is this rebel son going to provoke?"

"Truly never a moment of peace..."

...

...

In the bedroom.

Chen Mo sat cross-legged on the bed, his mind sinking into the Sea of Consciousness.

He saw two streams of light, one purple and one green, swirling within the Spirit Platform, exuding a Mysterious Daoist Rhythm.

Upon closer inspection, at the apex of this stream of light were two ancient characters, with long tails of light trailing behind them.

Even though Chen Mo had never seen such characters, he could instantly tell that the purple character was "Thunder," while the green one was "Lotus."

These were precisely the two Divine Skills given to him by the Daoist Venerable before:

[Mystic Sect's Heavenly Gang True Skill · Palm Thunder] and [Mystic Sect's Heavenly Gang True Skill · Green Lotus Seed].

"Since they can be recognized by the system, it proves that the Divine Skills themselves are legitimate."

Chen Mo controlled his Spiritual Sense to touch the purple character.

Instantly, the character exploded, and countless streams of purple Thunder Juice burst forth, accompanied by a deluge of complex information pouring into the Sea of Consciousness.

"Triple Jiao Reverse Burn Thunder Fire, Gall Palace hung upside down to refine the Electric Juice."

"We need to draw the underground poison fire upwards, mix it with the Primordial Qi of the heavens, and unleash the Thunder at the Labor Palace Acupoint in the palm... this is Palm Thunder!"

Dao Power surged along the meridians, and the sound of whistling thunder faintly emerged, then was compressed into liquid thunder marrow, finally converging in the Labor Palace Acupoint.

Chen Mo opened his palm, and the Beidou Gang Pattern emerged in the center.

With a thought, lightning appeared, entwined around his fingertips, shifting from deep purple to crimson gold, and then turning into dark green.

"Though it's a Divine Skill, it has three applications: the Purple Cloud Thunder, effective against harmful magical obstacles; the Great Unity Thunder, suppressing Magical Treasures and Artifact Spirits; and the Jade Pivot Thunder, targeting demons..."

"It seems that Ji Hongxiu didn't cheat me; this truly is authentic Daoist Sect Thunder Technique!"

Chen Mo played with the obedient lightning, continuously morphing it into various shapes, "Unfortunately, it can only be stored in the Labor Palace Acupoint, otherwise, I would have tried using an electric baton..."

He withdrew the lightning into his body, focusing on the other character.

The touch of Spiritual Sense did not generate as much momentum as the Palm Thunder, but rather worked silently, as a bit of green light settled into the Dantian, like a seed deeply buried.

Dao Heart Planting Green Lotus.

This Divine Skill contained three stages, referred to as "Lotus Transformation."

The Initial Realm can purify internal impurities, rendering the Taoist Body transparent.

The Middle Realm can establish an immaculate Taoist Body, immune to all poisons.

When Mastery is achieved, the Creation Green Lotus manifests, with a clear Dao Heart, stepping into the realm of no objects, no self, and transcendence.

"Sounds quite mysterious, though I'm not sure of its actual effects."

At this moment, on the golden stem within the Dantian, green leaves swayed, scattering motes of light around the lotus seed.

Nurtured by Vitality Essence, white roots gradually spread from the base of the lotus seed, and soon, a tender green sprout emerged.

Simultaneously, Chen Mo felt a clarity in his Spirit Platform, his mind and body becoming extremely transparent, naturally absorbing the Primordial Qi in the air with each breath, continuously transforming it into True Yuan and Dao Power to replenish himself.

With the alterations of Xuantian Canglong Transformation, his body had already approached perfection, devoid of any impurities.

But this applied only to Martial Cultivators.

While the Divine Skill [Green Lotus Seed] could achieve an immaculate Taoist Body, drastically enhancing Primordial Qi affinity... combined, it would truly achieve Daoist and Martial expertise together!

"Due to the body being more compatible with Daoist Cultivation, even the consumption of Daoist Skills reduced."

"It's truly a good thing!"

Chen Mo nodded with satisfaction.

Although he had been comatose for a few days under the Daoist Venerable, he did gain something in return...

These past few days, he'd been on the move nationwide, accompanying both the Daoist Venerable and the Empress, with no proper rest.

After comprehending the two Divine Skills, a wave of fatigue washed over him, and he lay down on the bed to sleep soundly.

...

...

At 11 a.m., with the daylight brightly shining.

A group of people arrived in front of the Chen Mansion, with four maidservants carrying two chests, followed by a soft palanquin made of gold-threaded nanmu wood, embroidered with a Phoenix Design.

"Stop."

The female housekeeper at the front signaled with her hand.

The group halted, and the soft palanquin was gently lowered to the ground.

"Madam, Miss, we've arrived."

The female housekeeper stepped forward and lifted the sedan curtain, and two figures stepped down.

One had elegant eyebrows and eyes, wearing a sapphire blue brocade long dress, her black hair styled into a cloud bun, exuding a mature charm mixed with the graceful aura of a well-bred lady.

The other was a young maiden, dressed in a sky-blue appetizer dress, tall and slender with snow-white skin, an exquisitely beautiful face without the slightest flaw, and a spirited charm between her brows.
