I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 105 - 81 Empress Stepped on Me! The New Official’s Second Blaze!

Chapter 105: Chapter 81 Empress Stepped on Me! The New Official’s Second Blaze!

Chen Mo pushed his Vision Power to the limit.

He could vaguely see the shape through the underpants, did he not expect that the Empress came from a big household?

Feeling an unbearable heat in his lower abdomen, Chen Mo immediately shifted his gaze to his nose and his attention to his heart, silently reciting the "Supreme Heart-Cleansing Mantra" in an attempt to calm down.

"Vivid in its existence, obscure in its absence..."

"Huh?"

Yu Youhan’s train of thought was interrupted.

Looking up, she saw Chen Mo as still as a meditating monk, murmuring the mantra.

"..."

Thinking of the Blood Dragon Shapeshifter, and then associating it with the aura on Chen Mo, she couldn’t help but make a bold guess in her heart.

But she immediately shook her head.

"It’s impossible, without a fateful mandate, one can’t withstand the Dragon Qi."

"It must be that he was tainted with a hint of aura when slaying the Blood Flood Dragon... However, the Demon Clan even dares to covet the Dragon Vein? They must be tired of living; should this palace personally take a trip to the Desolate Domain?"

Yu Youhan’s clear and bright eyes narrowed, and a dangerous aura flashed at the bottom of her eyes.

The various oversteps of the Demon Clan had nearly exhausted her patience.

"This dog-like lackey has done a good job, should the other party succeed, the consequences would be hard to predict."

"Last time, faced with a Ghost Cultivator, it was almost fatal, and in such a short time, it’s possible now to slay a Blood Flood Dragon... The speed of strength improvement is very fast."

Even with great talent, one could not achieve this extent.

It must be some fortuitous encounter, plus extremely hard cultivation that led him to this stage today.

Sword Technique, Soul Cultivation, Array... How much effort does each require? It’s imaginable that Chen Mo must have been cultivating day and night, without the slightest slack.

Even this foot-pressing skill requires diligent practice of the Heart Clarity Spell...

Yu Youhan couldn’t help but recall the words Chen Mo had said in front of her that night.

"So desperate just to stand by this palace’s side?"

"So, he wasn’t just talking..."

Complex emotions flickered in her clear and bright eyes.

With a light tap of her exquisite feet, a surge of Dao Power emerged, disrupting Chen Mo’s state of cultivation.

"Empress?"

Chen Mo was a bit bewildered.

With an expressionless face, Yu Youhan indifferently said, "Cultivation should be done in moderation, combining work with rest, rushing will only lead to an unstable foundation... Continue with the foot pressing, you are not allowed to cultivate anymore."

At least during this time in the Frozen Sky Palace, let him rest properly.

"But..."

Chen Mo’s expression was slightly awkward.

Without the suppression of the Heart Clarity Spell, the heat surged up again, and there was a tendency to rise.

Yu Youhan realized this, her cheeks flushed with a hint of red, but she did not move her foot away and instead lightly stamped her foot.

?!

Chen Mo shivered, and his hand involuntarily climbed up the fair leg.

This dog-like lackey, taking another inch!

Yu Youhan bit her lip, turning away her perfect head, her eyes misty with a tremble in her voice that carried an unusual charm:

"Continue pressing."

"Yes."

...

...

...

Palace Chambers.

Xu Qingyi returned to her room with a package wrapped in oil-paper.

After closing the door, she didn’t unwrap it immediately but took off all her clothes and stood in front of a bronze mirror.

Her fingertips glided over her skin as white as silk; looking at her delicate figure in the mirror, a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes.

As the trusted confidant of the Empress, over the years, she diligently carried out the Empress’s orders. In the eyes of the outside world, she has already become the "Manifestation" of the Evil Concubine.

Always dressed in plain white robes, she was maliciously called "Soul Reaper White Impermanence."

Upon reflection, it had been many years since she last acquired new clothing.

To be exact, she had almost forgotten that she was a woman.

Xu Qingyi’s lips turned upward, her unadorned face blooming with a smile, speaking to herself:

"However, I did receive a gift today."

She untied the red string and unfolded the oil-paper, revealing two items of clothing inside.

One of them was a pair of tights very similar to the "thong" of the Empress, but in pure white, semi-transparent, and very soft to the touch.

And the other...

Xu Qingyi picked up the piece of black cloth the size of a palm.

It was oddly shaped, with intricate hollowed-out patterns.

"Where is this supposed to be worn?"

Suddenly, Xu Qingyi thought of something, held the cloth up to her waist, and tried it against herself.

Her expression suddenly froze, her cheeks rapidly flushed, and her whole body seemed to have ripened.

Moments later, a sharp cry of anger echoed in the palace chamber:

"Chen Mo!!!"

...

...

...

Fire Department Court.

Jian Yinsan sat in his official seat, his expression ice-cold.

Qiu Longgang stood to one side, head bowed.

The atmosphere was heavily oppressive.

"You’re saying that the case in Linglan County was snatched up by Chen Mo?" Lord Jian spoke in a heavy tone.

Qiu Longgang whispered meekly, "It’s not exactly snatching it up. The case was solved by him, and the strength of that Blood Python was very strong. If it wasn’t for him, our brothers might have all perished there..."

"I’m asking for results!"

Lord Jian coldly responded, "This case has already been assigned to the Bing Fire Department. So you just let him overstep his authority and meddle? Useless thing..."

Qiu Longgang said, "He has the Qilin Token."

?

There was a moment of silence in the air.

Lord Jian was stunned for a moment, then repeated, "You said, he has the Qilin Token?"

Qiu Longgang nodded firmly, "Indeed, he’s always tossing around the token, leading me on like I’m his dog."

"..."

Lord Jian found it somewhat unbelievable.

Without a doubt, this token must have been given by Yun He.

He knew Yun He held Chen Mo in high regard, even going as far as falling out with Commander Bai, but he had not expected that even the Qilin Token, which represented one’s status, would be given to Chen Mo!

"Is it because of Chen Mo’s strong ability to solve cases? Or because of the Chen Family’s background?"

"Even if Yun He and the Chen Family are in cahoots, it shouldn’t go to this extent... Could there be some hidden secrets in the Zhou Family’s case?"

Lord Jian’s thoughts fluctuated violently.

It seemed that he had to reassess this Chen Mo.

Although Yun He, as a households Commander, couldn’t reach too far, after all, he is a households Commander, and Lord Jian didn’t want to offend him lightly.

But giving up the Ding Fire Department was definitely out of the question.

"When the capital inspection begins, and the backlog of rotten cases explodes, even Yun He may not be able to protect him."

"By then, I will take over opportunistically, justifiably."

"We should not target him during this period to avoid giving others something to talk about."

Lord Jian temporarily suppressed his feelings and raised his eyes to look at Qiu Longgang, asking, "So, what about the reward money? Did Chen Mo monopolize it all?"

Qiu Longgang hesitated for a moment, then said, "Not exactly, he gave us a thousand taels."

"Oh?"

Lord Jian raised his eyebrows, expressing some surprise, "He does have some sense, knowing not to fully offend others."

Thump thump—

He tapped his fingers on the table.

The implication was clear.

Qiu Longgang took out the silver note, hesitating, "My lord, the brothers have been seriously injured and need care. There isn’t much silver left in the accounts..."

Lord Jian pulled out a silver note and casually tossed it to the ground.

"Alright, you can go."

Nearly twenty people, given only a hundred taels?

A flash of anger swept through Qiu Longgang’s eyes, but in the end, he restrained himself, picked up the silver note, and walked out.

Before leaving, he faintly heard a voice from the room:

"Hmph, trash!"

...

After reporting the situation, Chen Mo left the Imperial Palace.

The Empress reaps without sowing, leaving him in intense discomfort.

He had intended to visit the Imperial Music Bureau, but glancing at the bright sky, he decided to abandon that thought.

Returning to Huai Zhen Fang, just as he walked into the training ground, he overheard someone whispering:

"Should we go to Qingya House or the Jiao Yun Pavilion tonight?"

"We don’t have any silver, so forget it!"

"Didn’t Mr. Chen give us a thousand taels? That’s more than enough for our dozen men."

"You’re out of the loop! After Mr. Qiu met with Vice Thousand Households Jian, he came out with only a hundred taels left! Forget about women, some of the brothers had to pay for their medical expenses out of Mr. Qiu’s own pocket!"

"The lack of injury funds is one thing, but to skim off the reward money too? That was earned with our lives!"

"Shush! Careful, walls have ears!"

Chen Mo’s senses were sharp, hearing everything loud and clear.

Glancing over, the speakers were the Bing Fire Department constables who had participated in the mission.

"Vice Thousand Households?"

"The one who instigated Qiu Longgang to cause trouble on the day I took office, was this Lord Jian?"

Chen Mo narrowed his eyes.

It seemed this immediate superior had significant grievances against him.

Right then, Qiu Longgang happened to walk out of the government office, looking extremely gloomy.

Seeing Chen Mo, his expression changed slightly, showing some embarrassment before he tried to leave.

Chen Mo indifferently said, "Gangzi, the waters of the Sky Scale Guard are too deep for you to navigate."

Qiu Longgang: "..."

Chen Mo, with folded arms, spoke coldly, "Did I give you the silver for you to brownnose your superiors?"

Biting his lip, Qiu Longgang replied in a pitiful tone, "I didn’t!"

Almost on the verge of tears, truly effeminate.

Chen Mo shook his head.

With a flick of the wrist, the Broken Jade Blade appeared out of thin air, and he strode towards the Fire Department Court with the long blade in hand.

Qiu Longgang, taken aback, asked, "What are you off to do?"

Chen Mo cracked a grim smile.

"Just recalled that after taking office, I haven’t paid a visit to this Lord Jian!"

"Time to light a second fire since taking office, and burn him first!"

Just perfect, he had been holding back a bellyful of malicious fire, looking to take it out on someone, man or woman would do!
