Chapter 80: Chapter 64: The Imperial Consort Commits Murder, King Yama Calls the Roll! (Seeking First Subscription!)

Prince Yu Mansion.

The study was filled with a thick scent of blood.

The old butler pushed the door open and walked in, his eyebrows slightly furrowing at the sight of the disarray before him.

Ever since he had practiced that forbidden skill, the Princely Heir’s temper had become increasingly violent...

Chu Heng threw the limp corpse on the ground, his eyes bloodshot, his brow furrowed with malice.

"Why, why?!"

"Why would Chen Mo trace it back to Zhou Jing’an?!"

The morning court had just ended when Chu Heng received the news.

The Demon Clan was suppressed, the Red Sand Mine exposed, and Zhou Chuanbing, Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, had been thrown into the Imperial Prison!

Not only that, but ministers tainted by the Barbarian Tribe had been exposed en masse!

Years of planning, all ruined in a single day!

The old butler sighed.

He had warned the Princely Heir to keep a low profile when the Demon Clan case first came to light, but...

Now it was too late for regrets.

"It’s all because of that brainless Jue Mi, killing is fine, but not cleaning up the corpse properly!"

"And Zhou Jing’an, goddammit, I told that idiot to act cautiously, yet he got caught so swiftly!"

"Useless, all of them are bloody useless!"

Whoosh—

Chu Heng became the master of clearing desks, flipping the entire table over.

Seeing his furious state, the old butler’s frown deepened, and he said reassuringly, "Fortunately, Zhou Jing’an signed the ’Creation Gold Contract,’ none of the information related to the Princely Heir will be revealed. There is still hope in the future."

Chu Heng panted heavily, his expression gradually calming down.

Since he dared to use Zhou Jing’an as a "White Gloves," he must’ve been fully prepared.

However, those officials involved with the Barbarian Slave were different; although it would not be fatal to him, it would definitely put him under the scrutiny of the Eastern Royal Palace.

"Chen Mo..."

"It’s him again!"

A glint of murderous intent flashed in Chu Heng’s eyes.

But in the end, reason prevailed.

The matter was already settled, killing Chen Mo would serve no purpose other than venting anger, and would only increase risks.

Moreover, with Chen Mo’s strength matching fifth-grade after slaying Jue Mi, he was not so easily killed... at least, not quietly in the Capital City.

"No need for me to take action, this time he turned the Ministry of Revenue into a sieve, Lv Bojun, that old fox, will not let this slide."

"Also, tell Jue Tong that the plan is exposed and her sister was killed by Chen Mo!"

"Hmph, now that he’s in the sights of the Demon Clan, he’s going to have headaches! I refuse to believe he won’t leave Tiandu City for the rest of his life!"

Chu Heng said in a sinister tone.

"Yes."

The old butler replied and was about to leave when Chu Heng stopped him, "Also, keep a close watch on Yu’er, make her use all her tricks to hook Chen Mo!"

After all, "fondness for pleasure" was the only known weakness of Chen Mo...

...

Five hundred li to the north of Tiandu City, Yunlong Village.

The long-abandoned dilapidated house was in ruins, wild grass climbing and sprawling through the walls, the hall covered with cobwebs, emanating a smell of decay and antiquity.

However, a neat and tidy room in the inner yard was as clean as a new house.

There were four people in the room, two men and two women.

Three of them had distinct animal traits.

One had a dog-like nose, one had rabbit ears, and another had large, protruding teeth, like those of a wild boar.

Sitting in the chief position was a woman in a red dress, with a beautiful face and curvaceous figure, her pale blue pupils embedded with tiny lettering that faintly spelled out the character "Geng".

"Can’t you guys keep your Demon Forms in check? At least try to look human, can’t you?" the woman in the red dress frowned and said.

"There’s no one else here anyway, it’s comfier this way," the rabbit-eared woman said in a cute voice.

The fang-mouthed man glanced at the sky outside, puzzled, and said, "Strange, it’s past 9 a.m already, why hasn’t Jue Mi returned?"

The rabbit-eared woman huffed, "Maybe she saw some handsome young man on her way and got preoccupied... Jue Mi is not weak, but too playful. I always feel like she’s going to mess something up."

The woman in the red dress’s brows tightened slightly.

For some reason, she felt a vague unease.

"With the Evil Suppressing Jade to conceal, Jue Mi’s identity should not be exposed; Chu Heng has the contract to bind him, so he couldn’t stab us in the back..."

"What exactly went wrong?"

Her Spiritual Sense was rarely mistaken, but she could not pinpoint the problem at the moment.

Suddenly, the dog-nosed man twitched his nose and said, "Do you smell something fragrant?"

"What fragrance?"

"I don’t smell it."

Both the rabbit-eared girl and the fang-mouthed man shook their heads.

The woman in red felt an increasingly intense sense of crisis and abruptly stood up, saying, "Something’s not right, we should leave now..."

The next moment, time came to a standstill.

Everyone seemed to be frozen in place like sculptures.

Streaks of blue light burst forth, and the terrifying Primordial Qi surged like monstrous waves!

Crack—

The void was filled with web-like fissures, then shattered into pieces, as a jade-white, delicate hand stretched out from the darkness.

Its index finger pointed through the air toward the rabbit-eared girl.

Boom!

With a muffled sound, the rabbit-eared girl’s body was torn into pieces, limbs and organs flying everywhere!

Immediately after, the jade hand pointed at the dog-nosed man and the fanged man.

Both of their expressions were filled with horror, unable to do anything, they could only watch their bodies disintegrate.

Finally, it was the woman in red’s turn.

Her body surged with energy, the "Geng" character in her eyes blazing with incandescent light!

Her body swelled and tore through her clothes, revealing her true form—a five-tailed white fox!

But even with all her might, facing the absolute power gap rendered her efforts meaningless; it was nothing more than a dying struggle.

"Who... are you?!"

The demon fox glared with rage, each word forcing its way out of her throat.

The other party remained silent, seemingly too disdainful to respond, as the jade finger slowly descended—

Boom!

The large body exploded into a pile of flesh, and the eyeballs rolled onto the ground.

In an instant, the four demons’ Divine Souls were extinguished, leaving only scattered flesh and guts, bloodstaining the ground a dark red.

The jade hand withdrew, and the void closed.

The entire process was done with nonchalant ease, as if swatting away a few ants.

...

Two quarters of an hour later.

An elderly butler wearing a black hood came to the deserted mansion’s backyard.

Thump, thump—thump.

He raised his hand, rhythmically knocking on the door.

After a while, there was no answer.

Detecting the smell of blood emanating from inside, he realized something was wrong and pushed the door open to enter.

Upon seeing the hellish scene in the room, he stood frozen in place, his eyelids twitching slightly.

"Damn it!"

...

Frozen Sky Palace.

Yu Youhan leaned languidly on the Consort’s Seat, her simple gown was spotless, her cheeks flushed, reminiscent of a white begonia after a spring rain.

"In the royal court, this palace is restrained in every move, afraid to act freely for fear that an ’ill-gotten position’ would later cause the nation’s destiny to backlash."

"But there’s no need for such caution when dealing with the despicable Demon Clan."

"It’s truly liberating."

A trace of satisfaction flickered across her cool and clear eyes.

At that moment, Xu Qingyi came bustling in, "Empress, today in the royal court..."

Yu Youhan waved her hand, interrupting, "I’m in a good mood today; I don’t want to hear about those high-stakes squabbles. Come over here and give my legs a massage."

"Yes."

Xu Qingyi complied.

She walked over, then suddenly froze.

Beneath the empress’s plain white gown, on her jade-like legs, were black... silk stockings?

They were too long to be called stockings and too thin to be pants.

When she touched them, they felt silky smooth.

The high-quality material and exquisite craftsmanship outlined the contours of the legs splendidly. The black, semi-transparent fabric added an extra touch of mystique.

Every woman loves beauty.

Xu Qingyi had never seen such unique attire before and was suddenly intrigued.

"Empress, I remember you always go barefoot. What are these...?"

"Oh, these were designed by Chen Mo, I’m just casually wearing them for fun." Yu Youhan spoke nonchalantly, but her expression was slightly awkward.

Chen Mo could design women’s clothing too?

Xu Qingyi recalled at the Qianqing Gate, Chen Mo had mentioned gifting her an article of clothing.

It was called... a thong?

"Could it be this?"

Xu Qingyi couldn’t help but look forward to it.
