I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 409 I'll just rub against you! Oh no, this time it's a real sister!

Egret City, the prefectural capital.

After a day and a night of severe torture, Li Yuan had fully realized the power of family discipline.

She was so exhausted that she fell into a deep sleep, with faint tear stains on her eyes and her body trembling occasionally.

Ye Zi'e wasn't in much better shape. Her eyes were vacant as she stared at the ceiling, her lips moving as she muttered to herself, "So this is the Empress's personal technician? I've learned a lot..."

"..."

Chen Mo looked slightly embarrassed.

He wasn't really angry; he was just teasing the little tiger at first. But then he got carried away, cosplayed as an electric eel, and then things spiraled out of control...

Fortunately, both of them were martial arts practitioners with strong physiques; otherwise, they might have really run into serious trouble.

"Cultivation is risky, so be careful when using electricity..."

Chen Mo flicked two streams of vital energy into their bodies, and their furrowed brows relaxed, their breathing becoming more even.

Without disturbing their rest, he got up and went to the bathroom. With a wave of his hand, clear water appeared out of thin air, and soon bursts of white mist rose up.

He stepped into the bathtub, sat down slowly, and soaked in the warm water, letting out a contented sigh.

"Comfortable~"

In fact, given the current level of physical tempering Chen Mo's body, his internal system has already formed its own cycle, and no more impurities will be produced.

Even if you get a little dirty, a simple cleansing spell will clean you up; taking a bath is just for relaxing your mind.

This is just like those cultivators in sects. Even though a single pill could meet their daily needs, they still eat and drink every day.

Food and sex are human nature, and these are the pleasures of life; there is no need to give them up.

"Open the system panel."

Chen Mo's heart stirred slightly, and a screen of light appeared before his eyes, displaying lines of tiny characters.

Previously, he had only glanced at the many people and eyes in the wilderness, but now, after careful calculation, he realized how fruitful his trip south had been.

First and foremost, the most important one is naturally the "Purple Extreme Creation Mystic Art".

Aside from the various supernatural powers and abilities involved, the Dharma form [Purple Extreme Cave Heaven] alone allowed his strength to achieve a qualitative leap, and it continues to grow with almost no upper limit!
The Dao Essence Crystals and Refining Stones invested previously were definitely worth it!
Secondly, there is the supernatural power: [Nine Tribulations Reincarnation].

To be precise, this shouldn't be considered a supernatural power, but rather a law.

It was transformed through the fusion of the Dao of War and the power of Greedy Wolf, and has already exceeded the scope of Dao Mark, getting closer to the origin of "calamity".

The term "calamity" itself represents disaster and cleansing, and the same applies to the nine cycles of calamities. The nine interlocking rings correspond to nine kinds of calamities: war, famine, plague, flood, fire, sinking, centrifugal force, corpse transformation, and divine punishment.

Chen Mo, on the other hand, can draw power from the calamities. If he survives nine tribulations, he can achieve true transcendence!

"So, the more people die, the stronger I become?"

"Why does it feel more like the demonic path than the Gu God Sect?"

"But then again, I don't feel guilty about dealing with barbarians and demons..."

Chen Mo raised his hand and flipped it over, and the wheel appeared in his palm.

The characters engraved on the ring representing "war and calamity" faintly glow with a bloody light.

He had noticed something earlier when he was slaughtering barbarian warriors: as each life was lost, wisps of red light were absorbed by the Nine Tribulations Reincarnation. That was not malevolent energy, but the essence of life.

Judging from this progress, if we continue to participate in the destruction of the four barbarian tribes, lighting up the three rings should not be a problem.

However, Chen Mo hesitated for a moment and then put the wheel away.

He wasn't very interested in this kind of thing; after all, there were many ways to become stronger, and there was no need to turn himself into a killing machine.

Moreover, given Chu Yanli's strength and the fact that he has two powerful armies, yet he has failed to wipe out the Southern Barbarians after so many years, he always felt that there was something else going on behind the scenes and did not want to get involved rashly...

In addition, there are first-class gold contracts and two Dao essence crystals, and the True Spirit has also exceeded 10,000 points, making him incredibly wealthy!
"I've never fought such a rich battle before, with so many true spirits, I don't even know how to spend them."

Chen Mo smacked his lips.

Currently, most of the cultivation techniques listed have been mastered, but the "Primordial Spiritual Constitution" cannot be improved through True Spirit...

Ultimately, he set his sights on "The True Explanation of Observing the World".

As the most secret skill of the Imperial Observatory Director, the power of this technique is self-evident. It can not only predict good and bad fortune and foresee the future, but its combat power is also not to be underestimated.

When Qi Chengze exerted his full strength, even the monk Huineng, who was blessed by the Buddha's relics, dared not be intimidated by his power.

Moreover, each level requires 5,000 proficiency points, which is enough to demonstrate its high value and is definitely not comparable to ordinary Heaven-rank techniques.

"add a bit!"

Chen Mo, being wealthy and powerful, swung his hand and directly hurled a handful of true spirit energy at the target.

A system notification flashed before my eyes:

[Proficiency in "The True Understanding of the World" has increased; current level: Mastery.]

Within the spiritual realm, an ancient book gleaming with silver light floats suspended.

The pages slowly unfurled, and countless words surged forth, merging into the golden figure.

As a top-tier divination technique, it encapsulates the essence of the five Taoist arts, containing an immense amount of information. Even with his current spiritual strength, he felt completely overwhelmed.

However, that profound and mysterious realization made him feel like he was floating on air, a bittersweet experience.

As the last character disappeared into his soul, a soft "crack" sounded in his ears, and a crack slowly appeared between Chen Mo's brows, filled with an incomparably deep darkness, seemingly connected to some other dimension.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling silver light shone through, and wherever the light reached, the void cracked inch by inch!

"Form is appearance, momentum is fortune, and divination is opportunity; by combining these three methods, one can glimpse the will of Heaven."

"With the cultivation technique perfected and the Heavenly Eye opened, one has truly entered the realm of 'Gazing at the Heavens'!"

At this moment, it was as if a veil had been lifted, and he truly saw the essence of all things in the world.

In his eyes, the past, present, and future are united as one, connected by countless threads, which is "cause and effect," also known as "the thread of fate."

Previously, it required divination and speculation to barely glimpse a corner of it, but now it is so openly revealed before us.

The gentle breeze blowing outside the window, the sunlight shining on the screen, the mist in the air... everything was predetermined before it happened, and all are subject to the cycle of cause and effect.

This Heavenly Eye can not only predict the future, but also trace the past, and can even find key anchor points in countless causes and effects, thereby changing established facts to some extent!

But doing so naturally comes at a price.

The greater the impact of the change, the greater the self-consumption. Once the primordial energy and soul power are insufficient, it will begin to draw upon lifespan.

This is why, on the day of the ceremony, Qi Chengze saw that Chen Mo possessed extraordinary signs, but did nothing... because it involved the "fate of the nation," and the scope was far too wide; a slight mistake could result in him being drained of his life force!

If they hadn't seen Chen Mo's potential to break the deadlock, they wouldn't have risked giving him "The True Explanation of Observing the World".

"Old Qi is capable enough to become the Director of the Imperial Observatory; he's got real skills. His Heavenly Eyes can see through the three realms. The only time he stumbled was when he was calculating my love tribulation..."

"However, since it involves the Empress, it's normal that we can't figure it out."

Yu Youhan herself once said that she was a body without cause, unable to be tainted by fortune or karma, and therefore would not suffer from the malice of heaven and earth, which is why her cultivation was able to surpass all others.

Let alone Qi Chengze, even if the Daoist Master came, he probably wouldn't be able to figure anything out.

"Now it seems that this love tribulation has indeed come true."

One time it was when the Empress and the Consort bumped into each other in their carriages; another time it was when Ye Zi'e and Li Yuan were pulling up radishes...

Fortunately, the situation was eventually resolved.

"There shouldn't be any more unexpected problems, right?"

Chen Mo glanced at the water's surface, where his reflection shone. He activated his Heavenly Eye for a quick look and saw several pink threads wrapped around his body, radiating a dazzling light!

? !
His expression froze, and he was stunned.

This bad luck in love has not only not ended, but has become even more intense!

"what's the situation……"

"Is there another expert?"

Before Chen Mo could react, he suddenly heard a soft footstep behind him.

He suppressed his doubts for the time being and turned his head to look. Ye Zi'e was only wearing a thin bodice and was walking slowly towards him. Sunlight shone through from behind, and he could clearly see her graceful curves.

Putting personality aside, this woman is truly top-notch in terms of appearance and figure alone.

Moreover, in some aspects, its resilience is even stronger than that of a tiger cub...

"Commander Ye, is there something you need from me?" Chen Mo asked.

Ye Zige looked a little awkward and said in a low voice, "It's nothing. I just sweated a lot and felt sticky, so I wanted to come and take a bath."

"..."

Chen Mo had never heard of the term "free bathing" before, and he said with some amusement, "Anyway, this bathtub is big enough, so you can bathe together if you want. Or are you just going to rub against it without coming in?"

"Come in, come in."

Ye Zi'e's cheeks burned as she forced herself to step inside, suppressing her embarrassment.

Ripples spread across the water's surface as the two sat facing each other, the atmosphere slightly awkward.

Ye Zige's eyes darted around, her arms crossed over her chest, and she said, "Regarding what happened before, I must thank Lord Chen. That wisp of Dao trace has indeed benefited me greatly... If I can comprehend it a few more times, I might really have a chance to cross that threshold."

Chen Mo nodded and said, "Don't worry, since I promised you, I won't go back on my word. Even after returning to the capital, I will continue to help you cultivate until you break through to the third rank."

"really?"

Ye Zi'e was so excited that she couldn't help but straighten up, causing the water to ripple.

To be honest, she was also worried that Chen Mo would take advantage of her and then deny everything. After all, she had finally found a breakthrough opportunity and was just one step away from success, which was too tempting for her.

"Do I look like someone who breaks their word?" Chen Mo countered.

"But if Your Highness asks..." Ye Zi'e hesitated.

Chen Mo waved his hand and said, "I will find a way to explain to the Empress. It won't involve you. Besides, it wasn't your fault in the first place."

Ye Zi'e remained silent for a moment, then gently bit her lip and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Lord Chen. I don't know how to repay this kindness."

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "No need to thank me, after all, I didn't lose anything..."

"..."

Ye Zige blushed even more upon hearing this.

Perhaps influenced by that gray aura, her heart would always race unconsciously in front of Chen Mo, and her mind seemed to be a little slow. Even her usual strange temper had become much more subdued.

"Speaking of which, you're so eager to become a Grandmaster just to prove yourself to the Empress? Is that really that important to you?" Chen Mo raised an eyebrow.

Ye Zi'e replied without hesitation, "Of course, because it was Her Majesty who gave me a second life."

"Ok?"

Faced with Chen Mo's questioning gaze, Ye Zi'e hesitated slightly before recounting her past experiences in detail.

She had never mentioned these things to anyone except the Empress, and now that she was saying them herself, she felt inexplicably relieved.

"So that's what happened?"

Chen Mo frowned.

As a commander of the Tianlin Guard, he naturally knew what the Iron Edict Prefecture was.

There, there is little difference between humans and wild beasts; they are even forced to kill each other for a bite of food. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a "colosseum."

Ye Zi'e left her hometown at a young age and came to this godforsaken place. In order to see her family again, she gritted her teeth and endured harsh hardships. After ten years, she finally made it through, only to find that her home was gone...

The Ye family was massacred by bandits, with only their infant sister missing.

Such dramatic ups and downs would have caused most people to have a mental breakdown long ago, so it's no wonder that she has such an eccentric personality.

"The person I once was no more. I will live the rest of my life for two things: to serve the Empress and to find my sister."

At this point, Ye Zi'e paused slightly, sighed, and said, "But over the years, I've searched almost the entire Qingzhou, yet I still haven't found any trace of it..."

"All we know is that after the old housekeeper took my sister away, he handed her over to a farmer to be raised, but if we continue to investigate, the trail goes cold."

"I don't know if I'll ever have a chance to see her again in this lifetime."

Seeing her dejected appearance, Chen Mo stroked his chin with his fingers and pondered, "How about I help you with your fortune telling?"

Ye Zi'e said helplessly, "I know that you are proficient in divination, and I have consulted divination masters before, but the time span is too long, and I can't see anything at all... It is said that the Director of the Imperial Observatory might have a way, but how could I possibly come into contact with such a person?"

“I have the same kind of clairvoyance as the chief supervisor. If he can figure it out, I can figure it out too.”

"Just you wait and see."

Chen Mo also wanted to take this opportunity to test the power of his Heavenly Eye. He immediately activated his Yuan Qi, and a vertical pupil bloomed between his eyebrows, enveloping Ye Zi'e in silver light.

Following the threads of cause and effect, countless fragmented images flashed before his eyes.

The longer the time passes, the blurrier the image becomes, and the more variables are involved. However, with the blessing of the Taiyi Divine Light, it can still accurately find the anchor point and move closer to the target step by step...

However, Chen Mo underestimated the difficulty of this matter.

After all, Ye Zi'e and her sister had never met, and the causal connection between them was too weak. Deduction alone was no longer useful; they could only try to glean information from the fluctuations in their bloodlines.

Finally, before his vital energy was completely exhausted, the fog obscuring his vision dissipated.

In the vast void, a beautifully sculpted little girl stood quietly, her delicate skin as white as snow, her full head of white hair particularly striking, and her body emanating the same bloodline fluctuations as Ye Zi'e.

???

Chen Mo was stunned.

He recognized her at a glance because of her distinctive appearance.

"Ye Henshui?"

"She's actually Ye Zi'e's sister?!"

Chen Mo's brain was working at lightning speed—

Ye Henshui was also from Qingzhou. His parents were ordinary farmers who died young due to illness. Because of his unusual appearance, he was regarded as a jinx and was ostracized by the whole village. He almost starved to death on the street.

She was picked up by Ji Lianxing by chance and taken back to the sect to be carefully nurtured.

Subsequently, the Moon Radiance Sect was destroyed by the Empress. Ye Henshui, as a survivor, went into hiding and secretly worked for the sect...

"They all match up!"

"No wonder Ye Zi'e couldn't find her; this is just too much of a coincidence!"

Noticing his shocked expression, Ye Zige asked in confusion, "Lord Chen, what have you figured out?"

Chen Mo's throat moved, but he didn't know how to start speaking.

How should I put this?
Actually, I'm your long-lost brother-in-law. Your sister's pregnancy is even faster than yours.
That's ridiculous!
