I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 108 - 83 Lord Jian Pays to Get Beaten Up! I’ll Teach You Dual Cultivation!

Chapter 108: Chapter 83 Lord Jian Pays to Get Beaten Up! I’ll Teach You Dual Cultivation!

Chen Mo’s eyes lost their purple gleam, his expression revealing a trace of bewilderment.

What’s going on?

During the clash with Jian Yinsan, he had had a faint epiphany, intending to use him as a whetstone to temper his Sword Intent. But then, that flow of qi inside his body was stirred and blended into the Shocking Dragon Saber Intent.

And then, out of nowhere, he somehow condensed a "Martial Spirit."

"If this can truly be considered a Martial Spirit..."

On Chen Mo’s exposed wrist, a patch of profound, azure Jade Scale swiftly faded.

There were too many onlookers for him to check immediately, but it didn’t take a genius to figure out that this thing was definitely abnormal!

Jian Yinsan snapped back to his senses, a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes.

Both shocked by Chen Mo’s unreasonably strong power and somewhat puzzled why he had felt an urge to kneel and submit just a moment ago.

Even Lord Thousand Households had never given him such a sense of oppression!

Just a Hundred Households officer...

Annoyed and embarrassed, Jian Yinsan’s ash-colored eyes fixed on him, and he bellowed harshly: "Insulting a superior in public, attempting to assassinate an Imperial Official, are heinous crimes!"

"Seize this miscreant at once and throw him into the Imperial Prison!"

The crowd exchanged puzzled looks.

Seize him? How?

This man dared to attack even a Deputy Thousand Households, would they not be minced into meat if they approached?

The atmosphere tensed up for a moment.

Seeing no one moving, Jian Yinsan shouted furiously: "Qiu Longgang! I command you to arrest the criminal Chen Mo immediately!"

Qiu Longgang blinked his charming eyes, finding it awkward to proceed: "Lord Jian, Hundred Households Chen holds a Qilin Token, he ordered me not to interfere, so whom should I listen to..."

"..."

Jian Yinsan’s gaze swept over the crowd, seeing the Fire Department Constables avert their gazes one by one.

Those who were usually insignificant in his eyes now disobeyed his command without a single exception!

Suddenly, he spotted a tall figure in the crowd, and his eyes lit up.

"Mr. Li, you’ve arrived just in time! Capture this villain swiftly!"

"..."

Li Kui gave Shen Shuqiu a glare.

The Cultivation Technique wasn’t even warmed up yet and this guy had already stirred up big trouble!

She had nowhere to hide with her physique and had no choice but to toughen up and step forward.

Looking at her near two-meter, bear-like stature coupled with a baby-faced doll appearance, Chen Mo couldn’t help but click his tongue.

Goodness, a Steel Barbie?

If she styled her hair into a bun, she’d be the spitting image of Nezha reborn...

"Ahem."

Li Kui cleared her throat and spoke: "Lord Jian, maybe there’s been some kind of misunderstanding between you two? Why not sit down and have a good talk?"

Jian Yinsan: "..."

A misunderstanding my ass!

I was nearly hacked into two!

Jian Yinsan realized then that Li Kui wanted to smooth things over, and with a laugh turning into anger, he said, "Very well! It seems you all want to rebel today!"

He reached into his chest to pull out a Communication Jade, "I’ll contact the Qilin Pavilion immediately, and request Lord Thousand Households to come and decide on this! I refuse to believe there’s nowhere to seek justice..."

Crack—

Before he could finish, the Jade Talisman in his hand shattered.

Two figures fell from the sky, a man and a woman.

The man was dressed in a gray robe, with a square face and an imposing presence without anger.

The woman was in a purple dress, with cold white skin and delicate features, yet her eyes and brows harbored a playfully irreverent "wickedness."

Jian Yinsan’s pupils contracted slightly.

Water Department Thousand Households Yun He and Earth Master Thousand Households Ye Zi’e!

Both of them came together?!

"Greetings, Lord Thousand Households!"

The Constables regained their composure and bowed respectively.

Yun He waved his hand dismissively, looking at the two and frowned, "What happened?"

Jian Yinsan spoke hurriedly: "Reporting to Lord, Chen Mo ruthlessly attacked, defied heavenly norms, and committed the gravest sins..." freёwebnoѵel.com

Yun He spoke indifferently: "Wasn’t talking to you."

Jian Yinsan: "..."

Chen Mo gave a fist-and-palm salute: "Replying to Mr. Yun, Deputy Thousand Households Jian owes money and hasn’t paid up. I was here to collect the debt and a bit of a dispute ensued."

"You’re lying!"

Were it not for the severity of his injury, Jian Yinsan nearly jumped up from the ground, "When have I ever owed you money?!"

Chen Mo shook his head: "Lord Jian really is forgetful. The day before yesterday, when I led a team to Linglan County for Demon Slaying, Lord Jian took one thousand taels of the reward money, don’t tell me you intend to deny it?"

"That is..."

Jian Yinsan paused halfway through.

He wanted to say that the money belonged to the Bing Fire Department, but then remembered that was also public funds, not for his personal use...

Misusing public funds was normal in the Sky Scale Guard, an unspoken rule. As long as the tasks were completed, and the case-closure rate met the standard, the higher-ups wouldn’t care about the whereabouts of such a small amount of Silver.

But this kind of matter, after all, cannot be brought out into the open.

If caught in the sight of the households, and charged with embezzlement, I’m afraid it would be inescapable trouble!

Chen Mo sighed deeply and said with a heavy tone, "Brothers have been fighting to the death outside, sustaining serious injuries, but in the end, they can’t even get the money for recuperation. I, as Hundred Households Officer, truly feel ashamed, which is why I was a bit agitated..."

Qiu Longgang had a weird look on his face.

Those are my lines!

And was that just a bit agitated? You almost beat someone to death!

Yun He looked towards Jian Yinsan with a chilly tone, "Is there such a matter?"

Jian Yinsan knew that the matter would not withstand scrutiny and said brazenly, "Reporting to the Lord, I know a fourth-level doctor with superb medical skills. I intended to use this silver to invite him to heal our brothers."

Pah!

Utterly shameless!

The Bing Fire Department constables nearly cursed out loud.

If it weren’t for Qiu Longgang fronting the money, several brothers would still be hanging in the medical hall!

Chen Mo stepped forward, extended his hand and said, "Such matters can be handled by me, there’s no need for Lord Jian to trouble himself."

Jian Yinsan clenched his teeth and pulled a purse from his sleeve.

Just as he was about to withdraw the silver note, Chen Mo snatched away the entire purse.

"I just recalled that previously, during the account reconciliation, Lord Jian had embezzled three thousand taels from the Ding Fire Department. It would be best to return it all now."

"Three thousand taels?!"

"You!"

Jian Yinsan saw the unabashed demand and trembled with rage.

Chen Mo narrowed his eyes and said, "What is it, Lord, trying to renege on the debt? Shall I help you recollect?"

Jian Yinsan clenched his fists, his face pale with anger.

He had indeed skimmed a sizeable sum through Chu Zhuo, yet had cleanly dealt with any loose ends.

But if Chu Zhuo had been devious and left some evidence that fell into Chen Mo’s hands...

He couldn’t risk it!

Especially not in front of two households’ commanders!

Chen Mo riffled through the purse and frowned, "Still short two hundred taels... oh well, consider it as medical expenses for Lord Jian."

"..."

Jian Yinsan’s forehead bulged with veins, almost spluttering with rage, "Mr. Yun, are you just going to let Chen Mo get away with injuring me?!"

Households Commander Yun said sternly, "I have always enforced the law impartially. Each matter has its own merits, and violence is never permissible, regardless of the cause."

After pondering for a moment, he said, "Chen Mo, you have accomplished great feats in slaying the Demon Python in Linglan County. Considering your merits and faults this time, you will not receive a reward. Do you have any objections?"

Chen Mo nodded in assent, "I am willing to accept the punishment!"

That’s a punishment?!

Talk about impartial enforcement of the law, you’re practically writing ’cover-up’ on your face!

Jian Yinsan gasped for air, grinding his back teeth.

Mr. Yun, with his hands behind his back, spoke indifferently, "If you have any objections to my judgment, you may have Households Commander Bai come to me."

With that, he turned and left gracefully.

The crowd was stunned.

A vice thousand households beaten half to death publicly, and it was all concluded so lightly?

Not only was there no substantial punishment, but it actually turned into extorting thousands of taels of silver, which seemed a bit too exaggerated...

Chen Mo weighed the purse, smiling merrily, "Thank you, roar."

"Pfft!"

Overwhelmed by severe injuries and reverse flow of Qi-Blood, Jian Yinsan finally couldn’t hold back and spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Chen Mo hastily beckoned, "Quick, call a doctor to see if there’s a risk of Lord Jian’s full recovery?"

?

Jian Yinsan couldn’t comprehend why this man dared to be so brazen.

He could not fathom why there would be two households’ commanders supporting him! And the Fire Department Households Commander Bai Lingchuan had not shown his face from start to end!

...

So-called rewards: getting paid after being beaten.

Comfortable!

Chen Mo’s thoughts were clear, and just as he was about to leave, he noticed a woman staring straight at him.

It was the Earth Master Thousand Households who had remained silent just now.

"Households Commander Ye, is there anything else?" Chen Mo inquired.

Ye Zi’e looked at him with interest.

Was it him who caused that commotion just now?

Merely fifth-grade, yet capable of such impact, truly astonishing!

And moreover...

Quite handsome!

"Young man, interested in joining me?"

"..."

"Yun He is too rigid. I’ll teach you Dual Cultivation and you’ll see a surge in your strength."

"..."
