I'm modifying myself into the ultimate demon.

Chapter 196 Jiang Hongyue's protectiveness angers the Empress!

Snow Lake at the edge of the house.

The night was deep, and all around was pitch black. The cold wind, sharp as a knife, swept across the icy surface, howling like ghosts.

At the edge of the snow lake was an entrance leading to an ice cave below. A figure stood guard there cautiously, a soft sword in hand, watching his surroundings warily. Whenever the howling of the cold wind reached him, the figure would shrink back, appearing terrified.

It was Qin Luoxi.

Wow!

Another gust of cold wind blew in, startling Qin Luoxi. She quickly rushed to his mouth and whispered, "Hua Bai, are you done yet?"

A rustling sound came from below the entrance, followed by Li Huabai's voice: "Almost there."

Before long, Li Huabai emerged from beneath the ice cave. "The firewood and wool are piled up. All you need to do is sound the signal flare, and we'll set the ice cave ablaze. Burn the corpses inside to ashes."

Qin Luoxi glanced at the thick ice layer of the snow lake: "With so much ice, can the fire even boil?"

Li Huabai said, "I dug a large ice cave down there and piled all the corpses together. The ice cave is big enough that the corpses will be burned before the surrounding ice melts."

Qin Luoxi breathed a sigh of relief, "Hua Bai is still the most meticulous; that way, he won't ruin Young Master's plans."

"I would never dare to neglect the task entrusted to me by the young master. Eh... why is the princess showing concern for the young master?" Li Huabai said halfway through her sentence, then suddenly realized something was amiss.

Didn't the princess always hate the young master and say that he had defiled her body?
Qin Luoxi herself didn't know why she was like this. Only after Li Huabai reminded her did she realize her mistake and said, "Of course, I, the princess, resent that scoundrel Chen Mo. However, we are all facing a crisis together now, so let's put the dispute aside for the time being. Once we get outside, I will not forgive that scoundrel."

Li Huabai simply said "Oh," and didn't continue the topic. She felt in her heart that even outside, the princess wouldn't do anything to Chen Mo.

Now that things have come to this, Qin Luoxi dares not look Chen Mo in the eye with just a glance.

Why don't you dare look the young master in the eye here, but you do outside?

Li Huabai didn't believe it...

She changed the subject, "Let's hide quickly and wait for the young master's signal."

Qin Luoxi was very approachable and immediately nodded in agreement.

So the two hid nearby, staring in the direction of the village, and waited quietly.

Qin Luoxi originally thought that Chen Mo would sound the signal flare soon, but after waiting here for three days, she still didn't see any movement.

The conditions here were harsh; there wasn't even a bed, and Qin Luoxi found it very difficult to adapt. However, considering that the Green-Eyed Demon was about to emerge, she dared not return to the village. So, she gritted her teeth and stayed here to keep watch.

When they got tired, they would find a place to lie down and take turns on duty with Li Huabai.

When thirsty or hungry, drink ice and snow.

Three days later, at dawn, Qin Luoxi saw the village suddenly filled with the sounds of gongs and drums, and asked curiously, "Huabai, is someone getting married in this village again?"

Looking at the festive village in the distance, Li Huabai shook his head: "I don't know either. But the resentment in the village has suddenly increased these past few days. Perhaps... the Demon King Sheqing is really about to appear."

Upon hearing this, Qin Luoxi became worried: "Hua Bai, do you think the young master might be killed by the Ghost King Sheqing?"

Li Huabai: "Is the princess so concerned about the young master?"

Qin Luoxi immediately shook her head: "No. I just feel... if Chen Mo dies, we probably won't be able to get out. I'm thinking of myself, it has nothing to do with that guy."

Li Huabai nodded: "I don't know either, let's just wait and see. The only thing we can do is trust Young Master. Any other decision is a bad one."

Although Qin Luoxi didn't like the feeling of being controlled, reason told her... Li Huabai was right.

The days passed by.

Qin Luoxi and the other person stayed behind, adhering to Chen Mo's instructions, waiting for the signal flare to appear.

Later, the two clearly felt that the resentment in the village was deepening every day.

Even though they were far apart, both of them felt a sense of oppression, unease, and suffocation. They even had an instinct to escape, but they suppressed it and stubbornly stayed there.

Until this day.

Pfft!
Pfft! !

Qin Luoxi suddenly felt something strange throbbing within her. She immediately sat up and stared intently in the direction of the village. "Hua Bai, the resentment in the village is starting to erupt. I can feel it."

Li Huabai stood early in the snow, gazing towards the village, his expression grave: "It seems the resentment the young master spoke of has begun to intensify. Such strong resentment..."

Pfft! !

As something inexplicably began to throb, a surge of resentment erupted from the village, particularly concentrated in Ouyang Gu's home.

Boom boom boom!
Resentment grows in waves.

It looked as if it wanted to devour the entire village.

Qin Luoxi and Li Huabai, who were far away at Snow Lake, were both affected by this resentment and felt extremely uncomfortable and unable to bear it.

Just then——

Bang!
Suddenly, a streak of light shot into the sky from within the village, exploded with a bang, and transformed into dazzling fireworks.

Qin Luoxi was overjoyed: "Finally, the signal has arrived. Hua Bai, let's go to the ice cave to burn those original corpses."

The two quickly entered the ice cave and lit a large fire. They burned the corpses piled up at the bottom of the ice cave completely. Then they hurriedly returned to the snow lake and looked at the village from afar.

A crimson aura of resentment filled the sky above the village.

Qin Luoxi was shocked: "Such strong resentment, it has actually materialized. It seems that the Qing Ghost King has already emerged. I really don't know why you only sent the signal now, young master. Wouldn't it have been better to burn those original corpses earlier?"

Li Huabai shared a similar thought, but she still spoke up for Chen Mo, saying, "I suppose the young master has his own reasons..."

Before Li Huabai could finish speaking, Qin Luoxi pointed ahead and said, "Look... the village has changed."

Li Huabai suddenly looked up and saw that the once brand-new village was decaying and falling into disrepair at a visible speed.

The surrounding flowers, grass, and vegetation are rapidly decaying.

Qin Luoxi was greatly surprised: "What happened?"

Li Huabai also shook his head, his brows furrowed with vigilance. His body trembled involuntarily.

Before long, the red resentment disappeared, and the village returned to its dilapidated state.

There seemed to be some kind of barrier around me... and then it disappeared.

The people in the village are gone.

Empty.

Qin Luoxi had never seen such a terrifying scene before, and her face turned pale. She gripped the hilt of her longsword tightly and stared warily at the village.

After a long period of silence from the village, Qin Luoxi said, "Huabai, it seems that the changes in this village have stopped. Shall we go and take a look?"

Li Huabai looked around and said, "Alright, let's go see how the young master is doing."

Each carrying a sword, the two crossed the snow lake and walked along a field ridge before entering the village.

The entire village was deserted and desolate, with dust everywhere, collapsed beams, and bloodstains on the doors...

Qin Luoxi hurried forward, "This place... is almost the same as when we first came here. How could this be? Didn't the Qing Ghost King complete the amplification of his resentment?"

Li Huabai shook his head: "I don't know the reason either. Go to Ouyang Gu's house quickly to find the young master."

Qin Luoxi nodded in agreement and quickly ran to the entrance of Ouyang Gu's residence.

The gate was dilapidated, with a corner collapsed, and the gate itself was rotten, with the door knocker and lock covered in rust.

"How could this be!" Qin Luoxi was shocked. She then kicked the gate open and rushed into the courtyard.

The yard was overgrown with weeds and vines, leaving no place to even step. Some farm tools piled in the corner were rotting and emitted a pungent, putrid smell.

"Son!"

Qin Luoxi rushed to the living room door, kicked open the dilapidated door, and entered the living room.

The living room was sparsely furnished, with a rotten eight-immortal table and a wooden shelf in the corner holding pottery jars, kettles, and other rotten items that emitted a pungent smell of decay.

Bang!
Qin Luoxi kicked open the door to the room, and after seeing the scene inside, she was completely horrified.

She clearly remembered... that she and Chen Mo had checked into this place together back then.

But now, the bed in the room has collapsed, the wood has rotted into dust, and ants are everywhere. The curtains, the desk, and other items... are all scattered on the floor, rotting away.

boom!
Qin Luoxi felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She stood there stunned, her pupils wide and her mind blank.

When Li Huabai, who followed in, saw this, he immediately felt a chill run down his spine.

what happened?

brush.

Qin Luoxi suddenly turned around and grabbed Li Huabai's arm tightly: "Huabai, how could this be? Where is Young Master? Where did Young Master go?"

Li Huabai also had a terrible headache, her mind buzzing. "I don't know either. This ghost field... seems to have disappeared. Everything in the village has returned to normal. Yes, maybe we can leave here and go up the mountain to find Sister Su."

"Come on!"

Qin Luoxi let go of his hand and ran out of the living room like a madman, rushing towards the outside of the village.

When Chen Mo was around, Qin Luoxi always got the short end of the stick from him, and she was always resentful and unhappy. But now that Chen Mo is gone, she feels inexplicably missing him.

I miss her more than anyone else...

Li Huabai also ran out.

The two arrived at the cluster of graves on the back mountain and suddenly stopped.

Qin Luoxi pointed to the numerous mounds around them, "Hua Bai, look, these mounds are still there. They're where we buried them back then..."

Li Huabai suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. "It seems the haunted place here has indeed disappeared. Let's try to see if we can get out."

After saying that, the two walked up the mountain for a while.

really……

They went out.

"Hurry up the mountain!" Qin Luoxi took off running, thinking to herself: You scoundrel, how dare you defile this princess's body like that. I haven't even had a chance to settle accounts with you yet, if anything happens to you, I won't let you off the hook.

……

Campsite on the mountain.

Su Yuqing, along with Yuanfang, Li Qing'er, and Juan'er, have been staying here for many days.

At first, Yuanfang and Li Qing'er were relatively calm. Even though they were feeling uneasy, they suppressed their emotions and always adhered to the principle of being obedient so as not to cause trouble for Su Yuqing.

But... as time went by, there was still no news from down the mountain.

The emotions in their hearts became increasingly difficult to control.

That day, Li Qing'er and Yuan Fang found Su Yuqing and once again expressed their idea of ​​going down the mountain to take a look.

Yuanfang gritted his teeth and said, "Sister Su, it's not that I don't want to listen to you. It's just that too much time has passed. I can't let go of Huabai in my heart. Even though I know that once I go down there, I can't come back, I still have to go. I want to see Huabai one last time. Even if I die... I will have no regrets."

Su Yuqing glanced at Yuan Fang's two large dark circles and knew that this person used to lose his appetite and sleep at night, thinking about Li Huabai all the time.

Li Qing'er's condition was similar to Yuan Fang's; her face was haggard and pale, due to a lack of rest over a long period of time.

Eh.

Su Yuqing sighed: "You are all very loyal and righteous. But there is really no point in you going down the mountain. And I also know... today is a special day. I'm afraid that the resentment of the Qing Ghost King will increase and will most likely be completed today. Be patient and wait. I will go down the mountain myself to take a look later."

Just now, Su Yuqing went to the forest to communicate with Chen Mo's avatar.

They learned about the situation down the mountain.

It turns out that I made some misjudgments.

The appearance of a ghost field does not signify the resentment resurfacing, but rather it is the prelude.

Now that Ouyang Yu has taken action against Alan and Doctor Li, the resentment is beginning to intensify.

Furthermore, Chen Mo told Su Yuqing something: "The moment you awaken from your dream will be the moment you completely perish. Your Ouyang clan shouldn't have come to the mountain to provoke me in the first place. Go."

Just now, Chen Mo told Su Yuqing that the original corpse and soul of the Qing Ghost King, including the original of that old house... should be on the mountain.

Although it was just a seemingly ordinary sentence.

But Su Yuqing felt that Chen Mo's analysis... made a lot of sense.

If that's the case, Chen Mo will eventually have to go up the mountain.

But Su Yuqing was puzzled... Chen Mo clearly knew that the Ghost King of the Azure Dragon was about to escape, so why didn't he ask her for help?

How does this guy plan to face the Demon King of the Azure Dragon?

Yuanfang and Li Qing'er, after listening to Su Yuqing's words, once again gave up their idea of ​​going down the mountain.

Eh.

Yuanfang was in a bad mood, so he kicked a few stones to vent his anger, looking very remorseful.

Seeing Yuan Fang's expression, Li Qing'er felt a pang of emotion: It seems Yuan Fang truly likes Sister Bai.

She wanted to offer some words of comfort, but remembering her own bad mood, she lost interest in speaking. Instead, she stood up, walked to the edge of the campsite, and looked down the mountain into the distance. Images of growing up with Li Huabai flashed through her mind.

As I thought about it, I felt a pang of sadness.

'Sister Bai, you are Xiaoqing's only family in this world. If anything were to happen to you, I wouldn't want to live anymore.'

Just then, two figures suddenly appeared in the distance.

One in white and one in blue, they sped towards the camp.

Ok?
Li Qing'er thought she was seeing things, so she reached out and wiped her eyes. When she opened them again, she saw Li Huabai and Qin Luoxi.

Li Qing'er immediately stopped crying and smiled, forgetting everything else, and ran over: "Sister Bai."

Sister Bai?
Yuan Fang, who was kicking stones behind, turned around curiously after hearing Li Qing'er's words, and then saw Li Huabai running towards him.

Yuan Fang, being more skilled, ran faster than Li Qing'er and arrived in front of Li Huabai first. He even saw Li Huabai make a gesture of opening her arms to embrace him.

hiss!
Yuan Fang was instantly overwhelmed with excitement, his scalp tingling. He quickly opened his arms to hug Li Huabai, tears welling in his eyes, and said, "Huabai..."

but……

Li Huabai actually bypassed him and gave Li Qing'er, who had rushed over from the side, a big hug.

Yuanfang: "..."

However, seeing Li Huabai return unharmed, Yuanfang was still very happy. He felt rather embarrassed seeing his outstretched arms, and finally said, "My hands were just being nosy!" before pulling them back. He then leaned close to Li Huabai and smiled, "Huabai, it's so good you're back, so good you're back. I was so worried about you..."

However... Li Huabai seemed not to hear Yuan Fang's words, and was only focused on talking to Li Qing'er.

Yuanfang: "..."

And she has a foul mouth!
Qin Luoxi rushed to Su Yuqing's side, grabbed her hand, and said anxiously, "Sister Su, the young master is missing. Quick, go find him!"

Knowing that Chen Mo had a complete plan, Su Yuqing was not too panicked. "Princess, don't worry, please explain the situation in detail."

Qin Luoxi knew the matter was of great importance and dared not hide anything, so she recounted everything she had seen and heard in detail. The others gathered around to listen, and they were all dumbfounded, filled with disbelief.

"Sister Su, it seems the young master has been killed by that Qing-she ghost. The Qing-she ghost has also disappeared. Please, Sister Su, go find the young master quickly. The longer we delay, the more danger the young master will face."

Su Yuqing thought to herself: You and the young master don't seem to be that familiar, do you?
But he said, "You all rest, I'll be right back."

After saying this, Su Yuqing entered the woods.

Behind a secluded large tree, they found Chen Mo's avatar...

Before long, Su Yuqing returned to the camp.

Qin Luoxi then asked anxiously, "When does Sister Su plan to go down the mountain?"

Su Yuqing said, "Young Master is unharmed, there is no need for you to go down the mountain."

"Ah?" Qin Luoxi was extremely nervous and didn't care about saving face anymore. "But Young Master and that Qing Ghost clearly disappeared together. How come they are unharmed?"

Su Yuqing: "I have a secret method that allows me to communicate with you, young master. You have instructed us to do other things."

Qin Luoxi was still a little worried, so Juan'er spoke up: "What are you, a princess, worried about? Sister Su and I are the closest people to the young master. It's not your place to worry about us. Just listen to Sister Su."

Qin Luoxi blushed and thought to herself: You guys are so domineering. Even when you're worrying about the young master, there should be some order to things.

He didn't refute anything verbally, but instead felt much more at ease.

Li Huabai spoke up at this moment: "Sister Su, where did the young master and that Qinggui go when they disappeared at the same time?"

Su Yuqing said, "They should have entered that blood jade. The Qinggui in that blood jade is a vengeful spirit, not the original spirit. Her original spirit is on the mountain. Follow me closely to the other side of the river and find that red house."

……

Outside the village of the Ouyang clan.

Located in a mountain hollow, the trees are tall and lush.

A simple tent was pitched here.

The tent wasn't large, but the furnishings inside were very neat. A long table, a teapot, an oil lamp—everything one would need was there. At this moment, a middle-aged man in a gray robe sat in a grand chair behind the long table, flipping through a book.

Although it was daytime, the area was so densely wooded that it blocked out the sunlight. An oil lamp was needed to illuminate the words on the pages.

puff.

With a hiss, the oil lamp went dark immediately.

The man in the gray robe frowned, put down the book, picked up a bamboo stick, and used it to lift the wick in the oil lamp. The light became much brighter again.

The gray-robed man breathed a sigh of relief, put down the bamboo stick, and continued to turn the pages of the book, muttering, "That girl Luo Xi is getting more and more unruly. Although she's become more sensible, she still has to worry about her father all the time. If it weren't for the fact that your father infused the power of the royal seal into your bloodline, I really wouldn't have known you were here."

This person is none other than Qin Nanhe, the Prince of Zhennan.

Several days ago, Mulan discovered that she could not find Qin Luoxi, so she hurriedly informed Qin Nanhe.

Qin Nanhe sensed Qin Luoxi at Baohua Temple through the power of the royal seal.

After that, Qin Nanhe sensed that Qin Luoxi had left Baohua Temple and gone to the Great Snow Mountain.

Great Snow Mountain...

This was a place Qin Nanhe had longed for for forty years. After a brief consideration, he secretly brought Lao Li along. On one hand, he was worried about his daughter's safety, and on the other hand, he wanted to take this opportunity to check on the situation at the Great Snow Mountain.

He possesses the royal seal, which even ordinary ghosts cannot sense.

And so Qin Nanhe settled down here, keeping a close eye on Chen Mo and his group's movements.

Unexpectedly, I actually made a discovery.

This Chen Mo... is no simple character.

That's really something.

There's no guarantee that Chen Mo might actually be able to find that Ghost King's Tomb.

"Chen Mo may truly be my lucky star. He can pave a path for me. Forty years... Nanzhou has never seen such an extraordinary person. Interesting."

Qin Nanhe sighed, then turned a page and continued reading.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the tent.

Da da da.

But it was Old Li who walked in.

"Your Highness, something has happened in the village. Please come out and take a look."

brush.

Qin Nanhe immediately put down his book and quickly left the tent.

After walking several dozen meters forward, I stood in an open area where I could see the village in the distance. Suddenly, I saw resentment soaring into the sky above the village, turning red.

Even this prince couldn't help but frown: "Not long ago, this mountain stronghold was just an ordinary, dilapidated one, but then it was completely transformed. It was obviously activated by a ghost field. Now, the resentment in this ghost field is soaring to the sky... It's really strange."

Old Li, bending over beside him, said, "It seems the legend is true. This Qing Ghost has been trapped in its own cocoon for the past hundred years. Now it is beginning to break free and transform. The resentment has already subsided, and now it is in the period of explosive growth of resentment. Next, it will need to find a new body to break free."

Qin Nanhe's smile gradually faded, replaced by a serious expression: "The Qing-She-Qi is about to emerge. Our Southern State is located on the border of the Great Qian Dynasty. Besides the eerie Great Yin Mountain, a Qing-She-Qi is also appearing. Whether it's a blessing or a curse remains to be seen."

Old Li laughed and said, "Your Highness possesses the royal seal. If that Qinggui comes out, you might be able to find an opportunity to refine it. If you can do that, you can deal with that Rakshasa Mother and rid our Southern Continent of a great scourge."

Ok.

Qin Nanhe nodded.

Before long, the red resentment in the sky above the village suddenly disappeared.

The once vibrant and bustling village was instantly reduced to ruins. Not a trace of resentment remained.

Old Li said, "The amplification of resentment is complete. Next is the process of finding a new body to break free. Your Highness, our chance has arrived. Shall we go take a look?"

A smile gradually spread across Qin Nanhe's lips, his eyes shining brightly: "I've waited for forty years, and it's finally here. All thanks to that brat Chen Mo, who made this my wedding dress. Let's go! Up the mountain. Once the resentment has fully amplified, that red mansion will surely appear."

Old Li laughed and said, "Thanks to Heaven's blessing, Your Highness's forty years of waiting have not been in vain. The matter of the Southern Prefecture can now be settled!"

……

After a dizzying experience, Chen Mo found himself in the bridal chamber of the Red Mansion.

He is still confronting Zhuang Xiaoyue at this moment.

Although Chen Mo could not see the scene outside the room, he knew through the power of induction that he was in the Red Mansion.

but……

Chen Mo also used his golden finger to observe Zhuang Xiaoyue.

There is no box.

There is no original, essential explanation.

He really is a demon.

It's understandable if it can't be deconstructed.

But none of that matters.

The crucial point is that Chen Mo must induce Zhuang Xiaoyue to alter his memories. Once she triggers his memories, she will enter the Red Moon Palace.

For this reason, Chen Mo still put on an act.

"You, you...you can't do this."

Chen Mo revealed a look of grief and indignation.

Seeing Chen Mo's expression, Zhuang Xiaoyue felt even more pleased, and her smile deepened: "Don't be afraid. I'm just draining you dry. Besides, it's your honor that you've helped me complete such a magnificent transformation. Ordinary people don't have this blessing."

Who would want such a blessing… Chen Mo thought to herself, but said aloud, “You, you… how can you force others like this? You were a respectable woman back then. Just because you were bullied, do you have to force others?”

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Xiaoyue immediately flew into a rage. "Just because I'm a decent woman, I'm constantly being bullied. This damned world, the kind are always taken advantage of. I, Zhuang Xiaoyue, don't want to be a decent woman; I'll be the most vicious demon. I'll be the one bullying others."

Chen Mo retreated step by step, feigning fear: "You are so vicious."

Zhuang Xiaoyue sneered: "I can't be more venomous than you dog men!"

Chen Mo felt that it was enough, so he said fiercely, "You must let me go."

"Hahaha, you've fallen into my hands? Are you dreaming? Didn't you see how much bullying I, Zhuang Xiaoyue, have suffered along the way? Do you think I'd let you go?" Zhuang Xiaoyue looked at Chen Mo incredulously.

Wow.

Chen Mo immediately activated all his Corpse Demon cultivation, transforming it into a rolling shockwave that radiated outwards from his body: "If you don't let me go, I'll self-destruct. Without my body, you won't be able to break free and transform. Heh heh, if you don't let me have an easy time, I won't let you have an easy time either."

Faced with such a threat, Zhuang Xiaoyue flew into a rage: "You wicked brat! I still had some sympathy for you. Since you're so ungrateful, then... I'll alter your memories. So you'll fall at my feet, and you'll do whatever I tell you to do."

Chen Mo gave the other party no chance to think and directly activated his power to self-destruct.

"you dare……"

Seeing that Chen Mo was really about to self-destruct, Zhuang Xiaoyue immediately appeared in front of Chen Mo, raised her hand and pressed down on Chen Mo's forehead, rendering him unable to move.

"Jie Jie Jie~"

"I've been spinning my cocoon for a hundred years, all for this day when I break free and transform into a butterfly. How could I let a scoundrel like you ruin my plans? I was feeling lonely and wanted to find someone to have a good talk with, but since you're so agitated, I have no choice but to alter your memories."

After saying that, Zhuang Xiaoyue activated her extremely strong field power and injected it into Chen Mo's mind.

"Once I alter your memories, you'll be my plaything. You'll do whatever I tell you to do. Hmm, then I'll make you tie yourself up, and you'll experience all the suffering I endured. That way, my hundred years of lurking won't have been in vain... Hehe... Hmm?"

"What is that?!"

Zhuang Xiaoyue suddenly let out a shrill scream.

She clearly sensed something incredibly terrifying within Chen Mo's sea of ​​consciousness. This thing posed an unimaginable threat to her, and she immediately wanted to stop and halt the alteration of his memories.

But... it can't be stopped.

It was as if a giant vortex was frantically pulling Zhuang Xiaoyue's consciousness deeper into it.

"No, no...don't!"

"what!!!"

Zhuang Xiaoyue's consciousness was completely sucked in. A dizzying sensation swept over her, and when she regained her senses, she found herself in another mysterious space.

There was a huge lake all around, and at the end of the lake stood a magnificent red palace.

There is a set of steps at the entrance of the palace, at the end of which is a huge red gate with a red plaque hanging above it: Red Moon Palace.

Chen Mo was sitting on the steps, his hands supporting his chin, smiling at him.

This smile made Zhuang Xiaoyue feel uneasy.

This is where?

Is it Chen Mo's sea of ​​consciousness?

Why can't I get out?
Zhuang Xiaoyue tried everything she could to leave this eerie place. But it was no use…

It's as if some terrifying ruler exists here, capable of easily controlling everything.

This feeling made Zhuang Xiaoyue feel very uneasy.

Left with no other choice, Zhuang Xiaoyue mustered all her strength and slowly walked down the steps, glaring angrily at Chen Mo: "What did you do to me, brat? Where is this place?"

Chen Mo smiled faintly, "Didn't you want to alter my memories? This is my memory."

Zhuang Xiaoyue's emotions became extremely agitated: "This is impossible. You're just a mere golden ghost with the cultivation of a mere incense stick; there's no way such a thing could exist in your memory. Tell me honestly, where is this?"

Chen Mo said with an indifferent expression, "I've already said it, believe it or not. Hehe... I do have a few questions I want to ask you. If you please me, I might talk to you a bit more."

Zhuang Xiaoyue was, after all, a demon of the Azure Soul, and about to undergo her first metamorphosis. How could she possibly tolerate Chen Mo's attitude?

He immediately flew into a rage: "What do you think you are, brat? You dare to threaten me? How naive and ignorant! So what if this is your sea of ​​consciousness? If I capture you, you'll still be at my mercy, bullying and manipulating you at will."

Chen Mo stretched and said, "I hope you can still be as imposing as you are now in a little while."

After saying that, Chen Mo turned back and said to the red gate, "Godmother, this guy said he's going to bully your son at will."

Godmother?

What godmother?
There's a godmother here?
Zhuang Xiaoyue immediately sensed something was wrong. The next moment, she saw a woman in a red Xiuhe dress and a red veil appear in front of her. The scarlet outfit startled Zhuang Xiaoyue.

Although the sudden appearance of her godmother made Zhuang Xiaoyue uneasy, she was confident in her abilities and said, "You're that kid's godmother? Good timing. I'll take care of you all at once. It'll save you from playing tricks here... Ah!!"

Before she could finish speaking, Zhuang Xiaoyue was slapped hard across the face. She flew backward for more than ten meters, crashing to the ground and spitting blood.

"You dare slap me in the face? Pfft!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped hard across the face again.

Everyone was beaten senseless and disoriented.

Moreover... Zhuang Xiaoyue was horrified to discover that she was as insignificant as an ant in front of this woman, completely powerless to resist.

How can it be……

What the hell is this?

The Green Demon was like an ant before her?

clap clap.

Jiang Hongyue slapped him hard across the face, her voice icy: "I finally got a son, and you want to bully and manipulate him? Did you even ask for my permission?"

Zhuang Xiaoyue, terrified by the beating, covered her face and said, "Madam... please forgive me. I was ignorant just now and misspoke. Actually, my journey has not been easy. Please have mercy on me, Madam."

"Since you've come a long way, why burden my son with your suffering? What has my son done wrong?" Jiang Hongyue was extremely protective of her own, dragging Zhuang Xiaoyun like a chick to Chen Mo, and then throwing Zhuang Xiaoyun at Chen Mo's feet.

"I have sealed her cultivation, and she is now no different from a little ghost. Xiao Mozi, you can decide how to deal with her yourself."

"Thank you, godmother." Chen Mo ignored Zhuang Xiaoyue, who was acting like a dead dog, and instead stood up and took Jiang Hongyue's hand. "Godmother just slapped this bastard forty-six times. Your hand must be sore. Let me help you inside to rest."

Ok.

Jiang Hongyue was very pleased with Chen Mo's words and walked side by side with Chen Mo toward the red gate.

Chen Mo pushed open the door, "Godmother, watch your step."

Jiang Hongyue smiled and said, "There's no need to be so formal. Mother can still walk."

Chen Mo entered the courtyard, turned around and glared at Zhuang Xiaoyue: "Come in too. I have a few questions for you."

How could Zhuang Xiaoyue dare to disobey?

He immediately followed her into the courtyard with trepidation, and saw the woman with the red veil sitting on a chair under the eaves, while Chen Mo was making tea beside her.

Red ground, red tiles, red courtyard walls.

There's an aura of death here, as if it's absorbing your life force. It does bear some resemblance to the Road to the Underworld.

The bizarre scene filled Zhuang Xiaoyue with fear.

Immediately, Zhuang Xiaoyue saw the red plants planted all over the yard, each plant radiating an extremely rich red moonlight.

'Red moonlight? There's so much red moonlight here?'

'How is this possible? This isn't outside, there's no red moon... how can the flowers and plants here store red moonlight? Such a bizarre method is unheard of. Who is this woman anyway? She seems even more terrifying than that wretched Rakshasa mother?'

'Red Moon Palace...Red Moon...This person is no ordinary individual.'

Thinking of all this, Zhuang Xiaoyue felt a chill run through her heart. She couldn't help but worry about her own life...

Gulu.

Zhuang Xiaoyue swallowed hard, walked shakily to the eaves, and knelt down before Jiang Hongyue. "Madam, please spare me. I have been in a cocoon for a hundred years, waiting for the day I can finally emerge. I have offended you in many ways before, please forgive me."

Jiang Hongyue took the teacup from Chen Mo and said coldly, "You haven't offended me, so what's the use of begging me?"

Zhuang Xiaoyue trembled and knelt down before Chen Mo again, "Young Master Mo, what happened before was all my fault. Please forgive me."

Seeing that Chen Mo ignored her, Zhuang Xiaoyue began to sob pitifully, her eyes brimming with tears. "Young Master, you have seen the hardships I have endured along the way. I am all alone and have been bullied by my own family. Please, Young Master, have pity on me. I am so pitiful... Waaah..."

Chen Mo: "..."

You're really good at being flexible and adaptable.

Just now at the Red Mansion, he was all fierce and wanted to kill me... Now that he's realized something's wrong, he's trying to play the victim?
If Chen Mo softens his heart because of this, then he might as well not live.

cough cough.

Chen Mo coughed twice. "Alright, alright, stop playing the victim in front of me. I have a few questions for you."

Zhuang Xiaoyue hummed in agreement, then two more tears streamed down her face, looking pitiful. "Please ask, sir. I will answer whatever I know."

After considering for a moment, Chen Mo asked his first question: "Just now, after you escaped from Ouyang Yu's body, my surroundings changed, and I found myself in the Red Mansion. What happened?"

Zhuang Xiaoyue pondered for a moment.

Jiang Hongyue then spoke: "Your cultivation has been sealed. If I discover you are lying, you will die instantly. My son has always been a kind and filial child. Just answer whatever I ask you. Don't try to scheme. Otherwise... I, as your mother, will not let you off."

Chen Mo was very pleased to hear Jiang Hongyue being so protective of her own.

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Xiaoyue dared not hide anything any longer and said directly, "That is my Blood Jade. A hundred years ago, I slept in a cocoon and sealed my cultivation and bloodline within the Blood Jade. I also set up a Ghost Field within it, and you were pulled into the Ghost Field by me."

Chen Mo nodded and continued, "So, your original soul and original body are not within the Blood Jade?"

Zhuang Xiaoyue said, "He's not here."

"where is it?"

“My original body and soul are both in the Red Mansion, which I have hidden deep in the Great Snow Mountain. Under normal circumstances, one needs to possess the Blood Jade to find it.”

Sure enough...

It seems my guess was correct.

After a moment's thought, Chen Mo asked, "Ouyang Lu said that when he was a child, he went to play in the mountains and suddenly saw the Red Mansion appear. What happened? Did you alter his memory, or is there another reason?"

Zhuang Xiaoyue said pitifully, "It's true. I'm raising a little ghost in the Red Mansion, and that little ghost can't leave the Red Mansion. So it has to take the Red Mansion out to find food."

This is not surprising.

When Jiang Hongyue entered the underworld, she left behind a dream messenger to arrange her affairs after her death.

Zhuang Xiaoyue's cultivation had reached an astonishing level, and it's reasonable that she left a little ghost to handle her affairs before she left her cocoon...

Chen Mo recovered his senses and continued, "I heard that a hundred years ago, a woman named Rakshasa Mama went to search for the Ghost King's tomb and inexplicably obtained your blood. Then she was able to activate and use the Red Moon Essence. Is this true?"

Chen Mo came here to find the Ghost King, but his main purpose was to deal with that Rakshasa Mother.

This is the information Chen Mo most wants to know.

Zhuang Xiaoyue sobbed, "Yes."

Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief, then pretended to be serious and said, "Tell me everything that happened, including the details about Rakshasa's mother!"
