I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 410 Missing You, Ye! A Path Never Before Imagined!
Seeing Chen Mo's hesitant expression, Ye Zi'e's heart tightened, her face paled slightly, and her voice trembled, "Lord Chen, what did you see? Could it be that my sister... she has already met with misfortune?"

Over the years, Ye Zie had envisioned this situation more than once.

After all, she had exhausted all her manpower and resources, practically digging three feet into the ground in Qingzhou, yet still found nothing. It was very likely that something unexpected had happened...

But when I actually faced it, I still couldn't accept it. My heart felt like it was being squeezed by an invisible hand, and the pain was so intense that I couldn't breathe.

"Uh, no," Chen Mo said. "Your sister is still alive and well, and she has great talent. She is already a Transcendental Sorcerer at a young age."

"It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive..."

Ye Zi'e's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

She suddenly realized something and looked up at Chen Mo abruptly, "Wait... Lord Chen, you really saw my sister?!"

"I saw it." Chen Mo nodded.

wow-

Ye Zi'e sat up, stirring up ripples on the water, grabbed his arm with both hands, and asked urgently, "What's her name? What does she look like? You said she's a sorcerer, which sect does she cultivate in? Most importantly, where is she now?!"

Faced with the barrage of questions, Chen Mo remained silent for a moment, then snapped his fingers.

Snapped--

A gentle breeze begins to rise, and the mist in the air, carried by the air currents, conjures up a beautiful face.

She has a delicate oval face, a pretty nose, cherry-like lips, and bright, lively eyes. She has the cuteness and charm of a girl next door.

"I only know that her name is Ye Henshui and that she looks something like this. Other information is too vague to be certain for the time being," Chen Mo said ambiguously.

He didn't want to hide it from the other party, but the situation was complicated and couldn't be explained in just a few words.

Putting aside the relationship between the three, Ye Henshui was a disciple of the Yuehuang Sect and Ji Lianxing's personal disciple, while Ye Zi'e was the loyal dog of the Imperial Concubine. The two were originally on opposite sides.

If the Empress were to find out about this, the consequences would likely be uncontrollable!
But Chen Mo felt a little guilty if he didn't tell her anything, so he could only pick out trivial things to talk about.

As for the portrait depicting Ye Henshui as a child, given that Ye Henshui always wore a hoodie when she went out and kept her whereabouts hidden, no one would connect the two of them.

Anyway, let's leave her with something to remember us for now, and when the time is right, we'll naturally let the two of them recognize each other.

"Ye Henshui..."

Ye Zige stared blankly at the girl's face.

Chen Mo wasn't lying to her, because her eyebrows and expression were almost exactly the same as her deceased mother's.

She couldn't resist reaching out to touch it, but the mist suddenly dissipated, and that image was already deeply etched in her heart.

Although the land of Kyushu is vast, as long as people are still alive, there will always be a chance to meet again!

"Ahem, after all, it's been too long, and the causal connection between the two of you is weak. Many details are unclear. I'll calculate it for you a few more times when there's a chance in the future..."

Before Chen Mo could finish speaking, Ye Zi'e flew into his arms like a swallow returning to its nest.

With their skin touching, the feeling of her smooth, voluptuous body was exceptionally clear.

"Commander Ye, what's going on?" Chen Mo was taken aback.

"Although I'm tired of saying those two words, I still have to say them again." Ye Zi'e hugged his waist, buried her head in his shoulder, and said in a muffled voice, "Thank you, Lord Chen."

For her, the two biggest obsessions are breaking through to the Grandmaster level and finding her younger sister.

Now, with Chen Mo's help, both matters have made progress, which has given her a mix of excitement and indescribable feelings.

Gratitude? Admiration? Dependence?

She herself couldn't explain it clearly.

But what is certain is that Chen Mo truly changed her life, becoming, like the Empress, the most important person in her dull and monotonous existence!

"I don't know how to repay such a kindness. In the future, if there is anything you need me for, please feel free to ask. Even if it means going through fire and water, I will not hesitate to do it," Ye Zige said earnestly.

"It was nothing, no need to be so formal." Chen Mo shook his head and said, "Although we had some unpleasant things going on before, it's all in the past. And to be honest, I was the one who wronged you before."

He wasn't the kind of person who was pretentious or affected.

Although there were reasons for it, what's done is done, and there's no way to escape it.

Thinking back on everything that had happened, which seemed like both a misunderstanding and fate, Ye Zi'e's ears turned red, and she said in a low voice, "Actually, I don't blame Lord Chen. Besides, I was the one who made the first move on you..."

Growing up in a cruel environment from a young age, she became accustomed to the ugliness of human nature and had no longing for romantic love between men and women; in fact, she would instinctively feel aversion to it.

Even though he had long had the idea of ​​dual cultivation, he could never make up his mind and never took the final step.

Until that day at the Tianlin Guard training ground, when I witnessed Chen Mo crushing Jian Yinshan despite being of a higher level, and saw his astonishing talent and potential, I didn't feel a single bit of disgust in my heart...

This convinced her that Chen Mo was different from other men and was the perfect partner for dual cultivation!
Furthermore, after learning about Chen Mo's relationship with the Empress, the impulse to break taboos, coupled with the desire to improve her cultivation level, made Ye Zi'e unable to control herself. That's why she chose to drug the wine and prepare to force herself on him.

Although things didn't turn out the way she expected, they've ultimately arrived at the same destination by different paths.

"and……"

Ye Zi'e bit her lip lightly, her eyes darting around, her voice barely audible, "Putting cultivation aside, that kind of thing isn't as bad as I thought. I still quite enjoy cultivating with Lord Chen... Besides, I've practically worn out the 'Dongxuanzi Yin-Yang Secret Techniques,' and I've never seen anyone who can still generate electricity..."

"..."

Chen Mo's lips twitched slightly.

He just had a whim, but he didn't expect this person to become addicted to electricity.
Why not just stop calling it Purple Extreme Cave Heaven and just rename it Purple Mood!

"Lord Chen, please don't misunderstand. Although I don't care much about my body, I'm definitely not a promiscuous person. Lord Chen is the first man to touch me, and the only one..."

Ye Zi'e's cheeks flushed, and she parted her lips slightly, "As long as it's Lord Chen, anything is fine."

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow and said, "Anything is fine?"

"Hmm." Ye Zi'e's eyes were shy, yet also carried a hint of allure. "Since there's still time, would you like to try the route we couldn't get through last time?"

?

Before Chen Mo could react, she took a deep breath, submerged herself, and soon bubbles rose to the surface as she began smoking an e-cigarette.

"Speaking of which, could the Peach Blossom Curse correspond to the Ye sisters?"

"No, if that were all, the strange phenomenon I saw wouldn't be so intense. Who could it be... hiss..."

Thoughts flashed through Chen Mo's mind, and then his consciousness was gradually drawn away, completely emptying his mind as he exhaled smoke.

……

……

Ziyun Mountain.

After several days of intensive repair work, the damaged palaces and courtyards have been fully restored.

At the mountain gate, the plaque of "Ziyun Temple" was also removed and replaced with "Zhenyue Temple" with a black background and gold lacquer.

Be careful, don't break it!

Inside the main hall, Jiao Yu shouted loudly.

"One two, one two..."

A group of strong and sturdy officials dragged ropes and shouted commands as they hoisted a several-meter-tall blue stone statue and placed it upright on the high platform.

The statue depicts a young man in a dark-patterned brocade robe, tall and straight as a pine tree, with striking eyebrows and bright eyes, handsome beyond compare, and lifelike in appearance, almost indistinguishable from a real person. For this, Jiao Yu specially invited two masters of artifact crafting to recreate the statue one-to-one based on the image in his memory. They worked tirelessly for two whole days and nights, meticulously carving and refining the work to achieve this effect.

Meanwhile, Xu Lin was staring intently at the craftsman engraving the inscription, his gaze never leaving the stone.

He wrote this inscription himself, and it was filled with the most effusive praise, even more exaggerated than the one at the Kyoto shrine. It almost described Chen Mo as a savior, and even he felt a little nauseous reading it...

But based on his many years of experience as an official, he knew that at times like this, it's not the excess that's worrisome, but the lack of it!
“Lord Xu, do you think Lord Chen will be satisfied with this? Should I try to show him something else?” Jiao Yu leaned closer and rubbed two fingers together.

Ever since he learned of Chen Mo's illustrious achievements in Kyoto from Xu Lin, he has completely lost his temper.

He first killed the Vice Minister of Revenue, then personally murdered the Prince Yu's heir, and the entire Prince's mansion was reduced to ashes... How could he possibly afford to offend such a ruthless person?
Jiao Yu knew in his heart that after this incident, he would definitely lose his position as prefect. Now he only hoped that Chen Mo would spare his life and that he would be content to live a peaceful life until his retirement.

“It’s unnecessary, it’s just superfluous.” Xu Lin looked around and whispered, “With Chen Mo’s status, he has neither a lack of money nor women. All he wants is fame, otherwise he wouldn’t be so obsessed with building a shrine.”

"Once the ancestral temple is fully completed, you should lead all the officials of the prefecture to pay homage. At the same time, you should widely publicize his achievements in the city, and use small favors to guide the people to come and pray and offer incense..."

"The more popular the temple is, the happier Chen Mo will be. I'll subtly put in a good word for you then, and maybe he won't hold it against you."

"Thank you, sir!" Jiao Yu gratefully cupped his hands in thanks.

"Sigh, with our relationship, what more can I say?" Xu Lin crossed his arms, pinched his chin with his fingers, and pondered, "I just don't know what Chen Mo and Ye Linghan have been up to. There's been no word from them for so long..."

Tread-tap-

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps sounded.

Kuang Yinghao strode in, his voice urgent: "Lord Xu, the latest report comes from the border fortresses..."

"Hmm? The border?"

Xu Lin frowned upon hearing this. "Tell me slowly, what exactly is going on?"

Kuang Yinghao took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to him. "The situation is a bit complicated and can't be explained in a few words. You should take a look at it yourself."

Xu Lin became increasingly puzzled, reached out and took the letter, unfolded it, and read it carefully.

Jiao Yu, who was standing nearby, also peeked over.

"Border report: The Xuanhuang Army has decisively defeated the Southern Barbarians, annihilating all targets, while our army suffered no casualties."

"In this battle, Chen Mo, the commander of the Tianlin Guard, made outstanding contributions. He single-handedly killed a King Realm expert and more than 3,000 elite barbarian troops, laying the foundation for our victory... The Bone-Eating Tribe has been wiped out, and the barbarian tribe is left with only four tribes barely surviving. It is only a matter of time before we can conquer the Southern Wilderness!"

???

After reading the contents of the document, the two looked at each other, their faces full of question marks.

So Chen Mo abandoned state affairs to go and wipe out the Southern Barbarians?

In less than a day, an entire barbarian tribe was wiped out, and all by a single player with no damage in a speedrun?!

"Single-handedly killed a King-level expert and three thousand elite barbarian warriors?"

"Such a niche term..."

Jiao Yu swallowed hard.

The word "ruthless" doesn't even quite capture Chen Mo's character; he's clearly an unprecedentedly vicious and ruthless individual!
Xu Lin was also a little dazed at this moment.

Just when he thought Chen Mo was outrageous enough, the other party would always redefine his understanding of things again!
"This person already had an incredibly powerful background, and now he's also connected with the military. He's protected by the Empress and the Imperial Concubine, and backed by Xuanhuang and Feifeng. He has both military and political power. Who in the court can keep him in check?"

"Aren't you afraid that your achievements will overshadow your superiors?"

"Shouldn't His Majesty be making some moves by now?"

Xu Lin's mind was in turmoil. After regaining his senses, he asked, "Where is Lord Chen? Where is he now?"

Kuang Yinghao replied, "I was just about to tell you that Lord Chen has already left with his men in a flying boat."

"Gone?" Xu Lin was taken aback, then frowned and asked, "What about the affairs of the prefecture? How should the officials involved be dealt with?"

"Lord Chen only left one sentence: He has done what he was supposed to do; you can handle the rest yourself," Kuang Yinghao said in a low voice.

Xu Lin was taken aback upon hearing this, his expression becoming somewhat complicated.

In the end, Chen Mo still gave him face.

Despite being a specially appointed imperial envoy who traveled thousands of miles to the southern border, he ended up building a temple in disgrace. Upon returning to the capital, he will not only be unable to deliver on his mission, but will also likely become a laughing stock in his circle.

"This guy……"

"Sometimes I feel he's too ruthless in his actions, and other times he leaves room for maneuver, which makes him really unpredictable..."

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Xu Lin noticed the craftsman was preparing to inscribe his signature and quickly stepped forward to stop him. "Inscribe this part as well. The annihilation of the Southern Barbarian tribes was an extraordinary achievement. It will also allow future visitors to see what the backbone of the Great Yuan Dynasty truly is..."

……

……

call--

The airship sliced ​​across the sky, flying northwards.

In the bedroom, Li Yuan's hair was disheveled, her clothes were in disarray, and her fair skin was flushed. She leaned weakly against Chen Mo's chest, her breathing still erratic. "My lord, are you really not coming back with us?"

Chen Mo gently stroked his hair with his fingertips and shook his head, saying, "I still have some things to take care of, but it shouldn't take long."

Besides official business, he had two other things to do on this trip.

One task was to find Zhixia at Wusheng Mountain, and the other was to prepare for the upcoming opening of the secret realm.

He would disembark in Jinyang Prefecture midway through the journey, while Li Yuan and the others would continue their journey by flying boat back to the capital.

"It's been a long time. I wonder if Zhixia missed me?" A faint smile unconsciously appeared on Chen Mo's lips.

Li Yuan hesitated for a moment before asking, "My lord, I see that Commander Ye's aura is getting stronger and stronger. It seems that he is likely to break through to the Celestial Realm?"

“Yes, she is quite compatible with the Path of Greed. As long as she focuses on cultivation, her chances of breaking through are very high,” Chen Mo nodded.

"Oh." Li Yuan lowered her head and remained silent.

Chen Mo sensed something, reached out and pinched her cheek, and said with a light laugh, "Don't worry, I will definitely not forget my Yuan'er's. The Dao Principles have already been prepared for you, and they are definitely stronger than Ye Zi'e's."

Li Yuan was a martial arts prodigy. She was able to comprehend the domineering sword intent from the most ordinary Yellow-level technique. Without any resources, she managed to break into the top ten of the Azure Cloud Ranking, which is enough to show how extraordinary her talent was.

Both her personality and fighting style are extremely compatible with the Commander of the Military Seal.

However, her current level is not high enough. Forcing her to comprehend it would be like pulling up seedlings to help them grow. We'll go to the secret realm this time and get some Enlightenment Golden Pills to help her reach the peak of the fourth rank. Then we can start preparing for the Dao Integration.

"That's not what I meant." Li Yuan's cheeks flushed slightly as she whispered, "After all, the girls around you are all so outstanding. I just don't want to fall too far behind."

Whether it's Shen Zhixia, Ling Ningzhi, or Lin Jingzhu, none of them can compare to her in terms of status and position. If she can't keep up in terms of strength either, wouldn't she really become just a vase that can only be used for decoration?
No matter what, your place in my heart will never change; you will always be my darling.

"I-I understand..."

“Yuan’er, you’re crying again.”

"It's because of the electric shock you gave me, it's still a little numb..."

"How about I put an ice pack on it for you?"

"Ice, ice pack?! No, that'll spoil it!"
