I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 407 Electric Shock to the Kid! The Power of Chen Mo's Family Discipline!

?

Li Yuan quickly realized what was happening, and a blush rose to her cheeks.

However, the two already knew each other well and were naturally not afraid of this threat. They swayed their waists gently, and because their hands were bound, their curves appeared even more alluring.

Her eyes were alluring, her pearly teeth biting her lip, a hint of anticipation mixed with shyness. "Then you must keep your word, sir."

"..."

Chen Mo's lips twitched slightly.

People will eventually change.

The once illiterate little tiger now welcomes him with open arms; the stark contrast between his past and present is truly heartbreaking.

Of course, this is mainly due to his countless times of generously sharing his knowledge and skills before...

"You think I'm just trying to scare you?" Chen Mo sneered. "If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know why flowers are so red! Today, I'll let you experience the family rules of the Chen family!"

"I'm really looking forward to it... hmm?"

At first, Li Yuan didn't take it seriously, thinking it was the same as before, seemingly a punishment but actually a reward.

But when she saw that horrific sight, her expression gradually froze, her eyes filled with bewilderment and disbelief.

(O_O)?

∑(O_O；)！ ！
The Purple Extreme Cave can distort reality, including the body.

Under Chen Mo's full urging, a huge shadow covered Li Yuan, and flashing lightning illuminated her slightly pale face.

"Are you ready?"

"Wait, wait a minute! I know I was wrong, I'll never do it again!"

"Humph, it's too late!"

"A tonic! o(╥﹏╥)o~"

……

……

"This is……"

Ye Zi'e had never seen such a terrifying "creature".

The moment that gray aura entered her sea of ​​consciousness, it transformed into a ravenous wolf. Its massive body almost filled the entire spiritual platform, every gray hair was clearly visible, and its scarlet eyes stared intently at her. The ferocious and greedy aura made her soul tremble.

Faced with the relentless advance of the hungry wolves, Ye Zige's consciousness could only cower in a corner, flickering like a candle in the wind.

Just as she was about to give up resisting, she heard Chen Mo's slightly helpless voice:
"As expected, it still doesn't work..."

Ye Zi'e suddenly awoke with a start.

What am I doing?
Chen Mo had almost finished feeding him, but he was still hiding in a corner, wallowing in self-pity. When did he become so weak?
She traveled from Qingzhou to the capital at a young age, where she underwent inhumanly harsh training at the Iron Edict Bureau, teetering on the brink of life and death countless times, and ultimately stood out from all her fellow trainees.

He thought he would finally be reunited with his family, but instead received the devastating news that both his parents had passed away.

A once happy and harmonious family was torn apart overnight, leaving only a younger sister whom they had never met, whose fate remains unknown.

From that moment on, the former Ye Zi'e was already dead. After the Imperial Concubine helped her eliminate the bandits and avenge her, she devoted everything she had to the Imperial Concubine.

The reason he was so obsessed with breaking through to the Grandmaster level was simply to prove his worth to the Empress.

"Since I've already died once, what's there to be afraid of? What's wrong with dying again?"

With this thought in mind, Ye Zi'e suddenly calmed down.

As the fear subsided, the wolf's form shrank continuously, eventually transforming back into a swirling streak of dark light.

As a synonym for cruelty and greed, the source of energy for this law is "fear." The more the other party fears it, the stronger it becomes, even to the point of turning the tables and dominating the host.

To truly control it, one must be "fearless".

However, it's easier said than done.

There is great terror between life and death, and even the strongest can not escape it, let alone Ye Zige, who is only a fourth-rank martial artist.

However, her past experiences led her to regard the Imperial Concubine as a faith, valuing her more than her own life. It was through this coincidence that she actually entered a state of enlightenment!
"So, this is the Dao?"

Ye Zi'e was suddenly inspired and began to breathe in and out in a strange rhythm.

A faint aura emanated from that dark light, continuously merging into her soul. A profound and mysterious understanding, unlike anything she had ever experienced before, filled her heart, immersing her completely.

However, this state of "harmony with the Dao" consumes a lot of soul power every moment.

With Ye Zi'e's cultivation at the Divine Sea Realm, she could only last for half an incense stick's time before being forced to withdraw from her enlightenment, and the dark light in her sea of ​​consciousness also dissipated.

But in just half an incense stick's time, her improvement far exceeded that of her years of arduous cultivation!
"This is the right path to becoming a grandmaster!"

Ye Zige was thrilled and extremely excited. "As long as I can enter meditation once a week, in less than half a year, no, at most three months, I will be able to fully integrate with the Dao and step into the third-grade Celestial Realm!"

"And all of this is thanks to Lord Chen's great help!"

"Master Chen..."

"Ok?"

Ye Zige opened her eyes and looked over, her expression immediately freezing.

Unexpectedly, she wasn't the only one unable to extricate herself from this situation...

Seeing that Li Baihu's eyes had rolled back from the electric shock, Ye Zige swallowed hard, her cheeks flushed and burning.

"Won't this kill someone?"

Even though I had broken through the final barrier yesterday, seeing this scene still made me a little scared, and my instinct was to run away.

Just then, her gaze fell upon the bronze mirror on the table, reflecting her rosy and bright face. For a moment, she felt a sense of unfamiliarity, and a strange feeling welled up in her heart.

After hesitating for a moment, I still didn't leave.

"I just used up too much soul power, so I can replenish it through cultivation."

"Besides, we've already changed into the clothes, it would be a waste not to use them..."

After finding a reason for herself, Ye Zige took a deep breath, suppressed her embarrassment, and got up to crawl towards the two of them.

"Li Baihu, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"

"Who, who needs your help!"

"We're all sisters, why are you being so polite with me? Lord Chen, just give me the shock if you want!"

"..."

……

……

Tiandu City.

Inside the Golden Palace, the officials stood in orderly rows on both sides, the atmosphere heavy with tension.

The events that occurred in the palace a few days ago have already spread among the court officials—

The entire Qianji Palace was destroyed by an unknown force and turned into ruins. It is currently undergoing emergency repairs, while the emperor has been forced to temporarily move to the Zhaigong Palace!

Although the Imperial Household Department claimed that the earth dragon had turned the tide, everyone knew the truth: the Emperor's bedroom was the most heavily guarded place in the entire palace. In addition to the Heavenly Shadow Guards, there were layers of protective formations. How could it have been damaged by an earthquake?
Moreover, all the other palaces were intact, but only the Qianji Palace collapsed. Does the earthquake pick and choose its location?
Rumors quickly spread that someone intended to assassinate the emperor and usurp the throne.

However, neither Her Majesty the Empress nor important officials like Lü Huaiyu spoke of it, which only fueled suspicion and made the atmosphere in the court increasingly strange.

"Speak if you have something to report, otherwise the court may adjourn," Eunuch Jin announced loudly.

The ministers of the six ministries exchanged glances. Yan Peizhi was the first to step forward, cupping his hands and saying, "I heard that Her Majesty the Empress has been unwell recently, which is why she missed the morning court session. I wonder if she is feeling better now?" "You are too kind, Lord Yan. I only caught a slight cold, and I have already recovered." The Empress's calm voice came from behind the bamboo curtain. At this moment, she was leaning lazily on her phoenix chair, her left hand supporting her chin, playing with a gilded butterfly hairpin in her hand, looking utterly bored.

I just got back from southern Xinjiang and I have to attend a court assembly already. So annoying…

I really want to go on a date with the thief...

"Then I am relieved. Your Highness works tirelessly day and night. I hope you will take good care of your health."

Yan Peizhi offered a few flattering words, then changed the subject and tentatively asked, "The other day, a sudden earthquake struck, causing a violent tremor in the capital. We heard that Your Majesty's palace was also damaged... May we ask, Your Majesty, is Your Majesty in good health?"

The ministers lowered their heads, each with a different expression.

The most important thing right now is to determine whether the emperor has actually met with an accident!
After all, Wu Lie lived deep in the palace for many years and never showed his face. Only a few close attendants knew about his situation... To put it bluntly: if someone had the intention to hide it, even after his death, probably no one would know!

"Your Majesty, he..."

Before the Empress could finish speaking, a sharp voice suddenly came from outside the hall:
"The Emperor has arrived——"

? !
It was like a thunderclap, and the air fell into a deathly silence!
Eunuch Jin's pupils shrank to pinpoints, and he suddenly looked up towards the palace gate—

A line of golden-armored guards filed in and lined up on both sides. A moment later, a tall figure slowly stepped into the hall.

He wore a bright yellow court robe embroidered with twelve symbols, including the sun, moon, and stars. A black five-clawed dragon was coiled on his chest, and two amber-colored jade stones adorned his eyes, making him appear almost alive.

He wore a pure gold crown on his head, with nine tassels hanging down, and the upper half of his face, from the tip of his nose upwards, was hidden in shadow.

Because of his extremely thin physique, even the dragon robe looked somewhat loose, yet he still exuded a strong sense of majesty in every gesture, making people dare not look directly at him!

The crown prince, dressed in a black imperial robe, followed closely behind, his youthful face still showing a hint of confusion and bewilderment.

"Wu Lie..."

"Why is he here?"

The Empress sat up, her brows furrowed, and her slender fingers unconsciously clenched the gold hairpin so tightly that her fingertips lost all color.

"Your Majesty, please slow down."

An old eunuch dressed in a dark blue satin robe followed beside him, offering to help him up, but Emperor Wu Lie refused.

Step, step, step——

Emperor Wu Lie walked slowly, ascending the golden steps one by one.

Everyone held their breath, all eyes focused on that figure.

Finally reaching the high platform, Emperor Wu Lie was slightly out of breath, as if those twenty-odd steps had taken a great toll on him.

Once his breathing had evened out, he turned to look at the bamboo curtain on the east side, a smile appearing on his withered and sunken face. His voice was hoarse as he said, "I have been bedridden for many years and am unable to govern the country. I am very grateful to the Empress for sharing my burdens..."

The Empress remained expressionless and said indifferently, "Your Majesty is too kind."

Emperor Wu Lie ignored her cold attitude, turned around and sat on the dragon throne, while the crown prince stood behind him with his hands at his sides.

Only then did the ministers realize that this was not an illusion!

wow-

The courtiers were terrified and hurriedly bowed their heads in worship, shouting in unison, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

"My beloved subjects, rise," Emperor Wu Lie said calmly.

The ministers all stood up, and Yan Peizhi, his eyes darting around, spoke first: "Your Majesty, I was just asking Her Majesty about His Majesty's condition, fearing that the falling stones from Qianji Palace might have injured His Majesty's body. Now that His Majesty is unharmed, I can finally put my mind at ease!"

The others, realizing what was happening, naturally weren't going to be outdone and chimed in one after another:
"Since Your Majesty fell ill, everyone in the court and the country has been concerned. Now that Your Majesty has recovered completely, it is truly a blessing for all the people!"

"This earthen dragon turning over is clearly an auspicious sign! It shows that His Majesty is blessed with great fortune and is destined by Heaven!"

"We, your humble servants, offer our congratulations to Your Majesty, and to the entire nation!"

The emperor's personal attendance at court contained an immense amount of information!
Even the Empress Dowager, who issued edicts to the officials, was merely acting as regent. If the emperor were to recover from his illness and resume his rule, it would mean that the entire political landscape would be disrupted and reorganized, and the advantages gained in the previous factional struggles would vanish!

The ministers of the six ministries were naturally overjoyed, while Chen Zhuo and other officials who had spoken out against the emperor had solemn expressions.

Meanwhile, Lu Huaiyu, Zhuang Jingming, and others standing at the forefront kept their eyes lowered and remained silent.

As the noisy atmosphere gradually subsided, Emperor Wu Lie spoke: "Today's court session was only to reassure you all. I know my own health condition, and I'm afraid I don't have much time left... Ahem, these are turbulent times. Until the Crown Prince is able to handle things independently, I will have to trouble the Empress to take care of the affairs of the court."

"..."

The ministers of the six ministries looked as if they had been choked, their cheeks turning red.

At this moment, Emperor Wu Lie seemed to remember something and said, "Speaking of which, I have heard that a new group of talents has risen in the court, achieving numerous feats and enjoying unparalleled fame. It seems to be the commander of the Tianlin Guard, named... Chen Mo?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhuo's heart trembled. He stepped forward and said, "It is indeed my son. Your Majesty is too kind. It was just good luck that I solved a few cases by chance."

Emperor Wu Lie waved his hand and said with a warm smile, "Luck is also a part of ability, Lord Chen, there's no need to be modest... Ahem, I wonder if Chen Mo came to court today?"

Chen Zhuo replied, "Your Majesty, my son went to the southern border to annihilate the Gu God Cult and has not yet returned."

"Is that so?" Emperor Wu Lie raised an eyebrow slightly, looked at the man in the fur coat with a pale face, and asked, "Lord Wei, what is the situation in the Southern Frontier?"

Only then did everyone notice that Wei Xuan, the commander of the Tianlin Guard who never interfered in political affairs, had actually come to court today.
However, his aura was so well concealed that the officials behind him did not notice him at all!

Wei Xuan wrapped his robe tighter around himself and said calmly, "According to the information we have so far, Chen Mo destroyed several strongholds of the Gu God Sect in Tiannan Prefecture, killing thousands of demons and monsters. Then, in the capital of Nantu Prefecture, he killed four Grandmasters and personally killed Yin Tiankuo, a first-grade Gu cultivator..."

"By the way, this also includes a commander of the Xuanjia Guard who was turned by the Demonic Cult."

Whether intentionally or not, he did not mention the matter of the barbarian slaves.

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Peizhi and the others were horrified!

If I remember correctly, Chen Mo himself only broke through to the third rank not long ago, right?

He actually killed four Grandmasters in a row? And one of them was a veteran Rank 1 master?
This is way too exaggerated!
Moreover, the Xuanjia Guards are the elite of the Imperial Guards. How could the Gu God Sect, a mere Jianghu sect, have such a long reach?!

clap clap-

"Excellent, excellent! Truly, heroes emerge from among the young!" Emperor Wu Lie clapped his hands in praise. "Such a talent must be entrusted with important responsibilities. It just so happens that the Xuanjia Guard has lost a commander, so let him take his place. He can stay by my side and be properly trained..."

"no!"

The Empress's expression changed drastically!
Just as she was about to rise and refute, suddenly, hurried footsteps came from outside the hall, accompanied by a guard's shout to stop her:
"stop!"

"Who goes there? How dare you trespass into the imperial court!"

Immediately afterwards, a clear female voice rang out: "I am Lu Shuangge, the commander of Princess Xuanhuang's personal guards. Urgent report from the border! It must be reported immediately!"

"Urgent report from the border?"

Emperor Wu Lie paused for a moment, frowned, glanced at Lü Huaiyu, and said, "Summon him."

The old eunuch beside him announced loudly, "Summon Lu Shuangge to the palace."

Accompanied by two guards, Lü Shuangge strode in, holding a military intelligence token.

Upon seeing the emperor seated on the dragon throne, a glint flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it, kneeling and bowing his head, saying, "This humble general greets Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"

"Rise and speak." Emperor Wu Lie tapped his fingers on the armrest. "I'd like to hear what urgent situation exists on the frontier that warrants such a large-scale mobilization from you."

"Yes, sir." Lü Shuangge stood up, took out a report, unfolded it, and said word by word: "Yesterday at noon, Chen Mo, commander of the Tianlin Guard, joined forces with Ye Linghan, adjutant general of the Xuanhuang Army, to penetrate deep into the Southern Wilderness and launch a surprise attack on the barbarian camp!"

"After our soldiers formed an encirclement, Lieutenant General Ye took the lead and killed a commander at the half-step King Realm."

"Subsequently, Commander Chen killed one of the Wangjing commanders, captured one of the Wangjing shamans, and single-handedly annihilated more than 3,200 barbarian warriors!"

"At this point, not a single member of the Bone-Eating Tribe, one of the five barbarian tribes, survived; they were completely wiped out!"

Upon hearing this, the assembled officials were once again stunned.

The air inside the hall seemed to have frozen; you could hear a pin drop!
