I'm modifying myself into the ultimate demon.

Chapter 202 It's you, Rakshasa Mother! Jiang Hongyue Descends!
Over the past six months, Chen Mo and Qin Nanhe have been in frequent contact, but have not been able to find any information about the Rakshasa Shrine.

The two sides met just three days ago.

Suddenly, the King of Zhennan discovered the true form of Rakshasa Mother?

And they were even murdered?
What happened in the middle?
Chen Mo's pupils contracted immediately, and he reassured him, "Don't worry. I won't abandon your father!"

After saying that, Chen Mo picked up Qin Luoxi and rushed to the meditation room in the backyard. He put Qin Luoxi on the bed, then asked Li Huabai to bring hot water. He tore open Qin Luoxi's clothes to check her wounds.

His fair skin was covered with claw marks, the flesh torn and bleeding profusely, making it all the more striking.

Something punched a bloody hole in his chest.

When Chen Mo gently wiped the wound with a hot towel, Qin Luoxi's body visibly twitched, she cried out in pain, and blue blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

It's obvious they've been poisoned.

Moreover, it's corpse poison.

Su Yuqing walked over at this moment, frowning as she said, "She was injured by a zombie, and she has been poisoned with a very strong zombie poison. If the zombie poison is not removed, she will die soon."

puff~
Qin Luoxi lay weakly on the bed, trying to speak several times, but the gushing blue blood drowned out her words. She couldn't utter a final sentence, only tightly gripping Chen Mo's hand, her eyes filled with resentment and pleading.

Human hearts are made of flesh and blood, and Chen Mo couldn't help but be moved by this situation. He immediately grasped Qin Luoxi's hand tightly and comforted her, "Don't worry, I won't just stand by and watch you die. Just bear with it."

He offered a word of encouragement, then cut open his palm, letting his zombie blood flow out and cover Qin Luoxi's wound.

Chen Mo attempted to use his own zombie blood to cover up the corpse poison in Qin Luoxi's body, in order to achieve the effect of fighting poison with poison.

After all, he could control his own corpse poison. He wouldn't let it harm Qin Luoxi.

however……

The two types of corpse poison collided and immediately emitted a buzzing sound.

Surprisingly, they couldn't suppress the opponent's corpse poison.

Instead, this elicited a series of pitiful screams from Qin Luoxi.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Chen Mo couldn't bear to see Qin Luoxi screaming in agony, so he stopped. The worry between his brows deepened.

I am a seven-striped golden-haired zombie.

The corpse poison is extremely potent.

Unable to suppress the opponent's corpse poison?

Could it be... that the zombie that injured Qin Luoxi is even more powerful than the seventh level?
Rakshasa Mother...

At this moment, Li Huabai, Li Qing'er, Yuanfang, Juan'er, and Xiaoxiao also gathered around. Looking at Qin Luoxi, who was constantly vomiting blood on the bed, they all felt terrible.

For the past six months or so, Qin Luoxi has frequently visited this place and taken great care of everyone.

Seeing Qin Luoxi like this now, everyone felt very sad.

The entire room was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression.

Chen Mo's heart sank even further. He couldn't help but recall all the little things Qin Luoxi had done for him, and he immediately felt an indescribable sadness and anger.

call!
Chen Mo let out a long sigh, suppressing his boundless anger, and said, "Xiao Yu, do you have a solution?"

Su Yuqing stepped forward, carefully examined Qin Luoxi's injuries, and shook her head, saying, "If the one who injured Luoxi were a ghost, I could think of a way. But since it was a zombie, I have no way to help her."

puff.

Qin Luoxi coughed up another mouthful of blood, tightly gripping Chen Mo's hand, pointing towards the door with tears in her eyes and pleading.

Chen Mo understood what she meant.

She simply wanted to say that her injuries were not serious and that she wanted Chen Mo to go and save her father.

Chen Mo replied, "To me, you are more important than your father. You helped me so much before, how could I abandon you now? Don't get agitated, I'll think of something."

Upon hearing this, Qin Luoxi was overwhelmed with mixed feelings of sorrow and joy, and tears streamed down her face. She kept pleading and urging him on.

After a moment's thought, Chen Mo spoke up: "I need to access your memories. Let me see how you got injured. Just bear with it."

Seeing that Qin Luoxi nodded, Chen Mo reached out and pressed his hand against Qin Luoxi's forehead. Then he used his summoning power.

As extraordinary inspirational power continued to flood Qin Luoxi's mind, Chen Mo also accessed Qin Luoxi's memories:
Around noon today, Qin Nanhe returned to the palace after going out. He called Lao Li and Qin Luoxi into his room and said that he knew the true identity of Rakshasa Mother. He then wrote a letter on the spot and sealed it away, saying that he would go to Qianfo County that night to see Chen Mo.

Qin Nanhe realized the danger at that moment and told Qin Luoxi and Lao Li to prepare to leave.

As a result, the entire Prince's Mansion became haunted as soon as Qin Nanhe stepped out of the central courtyard.

A powerful zombie suddenly appeared and began to slaughter the people in the royal palace.

Qin Nanhe and Lao Li fought desperately to allow Qin Luoxi to take the envelope and go out to find Chen Mo.

As a result, Qin Luoxi was attacked by zombies again when she went out, and even lost the envelope. In the end, Qin Luoxi managed to escape the palace with all her might. If she hadn't held on by sheer willpower, she probably would have collapsed before reaching Baohua Hall.

call!
Chen Mo stopped and told Su Yuqing the details.

Su Yuqing frowned upon hearing this: "But Qin Nanhe didn't explain where Rakshasa Mother's true form is, and that letter is lost. What should we do now?"

"Xiaoyu, you're giving Luoxi too much power to protect her heart. I have a way." Chen Mo said this and was about to leave, but Qin Luoxi grabbed his hand tightly.

Chen Mo turned back and comforted him, "Don't worry, I can heal you. Don't give up on yourself, hold on. No matter how tired or exhausted you are, don't fall asleep. I haven't given up on you, so you can't give up on yourself. Wait for me a moment, okay?"

Qin Luoxi nodded with tears in her eyes, and then let go of his hand.

Chen Mo went to the next room, closed the door, and sat down cross-legged.

call!
Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief and reviewed the information.

First of all, that zombie was so powerful that even Qin Nanhe and Lao Li were no match for it. It even stole Qin Luoxi's letter, so logically speaking, Qin Luoxi had no chance of survival.

But now he's come here to deliver a message to himself.

There's only one reason: the zombie sent Qin Luoxi to deliver the message.

As for the reason, it's likely that the zombie wanted to lure him into a trap.

So, is this zombie Rakshasa Mother?
This doesn't seem right.

That Rakshasa mother should be a ghost.

However, this possibility can also be ruled out.

After all, the Rakshasa mother had stolen most of her godmother's red moonlight. Red moonlight can switch life force.

Chen Mo's method for saving Qin Luoxi was quite simple: ask his godmother for a drop of "Monthly Drop," inject it into Qin Luoxi's body, and convert the corpse poison within her into human life force.

No matter how powerful the zombie's corpse poison was, it couldn't withstand the red moon droplets.

Chen Mo circulated the Tranquility Technique for a while, and then slowly entered a state of deep sleep.

Before falling asleep, silently repeat:
Your Majesty.

When I regained consciousness, I was already at the Red Moon Palace.

Given the urgency of the situation, Chen Mo had no time to listen to stories and directly recounted what had happened, finally revealing his plan to treat the corpse poison with the Red Moon Drops.

Jiang Hongyue listened attentively and didn't mince words: "You want the Red Moon Drops, no problem. But from your story, that zombie is luring you into a trap. Behind the zombie is probably Rakshasa Mother. Little Mozi, are you mentally prepared?"

Chen Mo countered with a question: "Is Godmother ready?"

Jiang Hongyue smiled faintly, "I've spent over a hundred years in the Underworld. What haven't I seen? I'm always ready."

Chen Mo said, "Since my godmother is prepared, then I am prepared too. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. If he wants to lure me into this, I'll go. It's something I have to face sooner or later."

Jiang Hongyue gazed at Chen Mo for a long time without saying much: "Good. You are indeed my good child. This time, we will face this together. Remember what I told you before."

"I remember that."

……

When Chen Mo woke up again, only a quarter of an hour had passed.

A red moon drop appeared in the palm of my hand.

Click.

Chen Mo gripped the red moon drop tightly, his eyes turning exceptionally fierce and cold.

"Rakshasa Mama, since you intend to lure me into this trap, then I shall go!"

After saying that, Chen Mo immediately got up, pushed open the door, and rushed to the main bedroom, where he saw Qin Luoxi lying on the bed, barely alive.

Su Yuqing sat to one side, holding Qin Luoxi's hand and giving her excessive strength to maintain her life.

Even so, Qin Luoxi was still extremely weak, with the corpse poison in her body constantly erupting, and she was already at the point of exhaustion. When she saw Chen Mo approaching, a glimmer of light appeared in her dark eyes.

Chen Mo walked to the bedside and said, "I'll give you a drop of Red Moon Drop, which can transform the corpse poison and corpse energy in your body into life force. The process may be very painful, so you must persevere and not fall asleep."

Given Qin Luoxi's current state, if she falls asleep, she might never wake up again.

Qin Luoxi nodded with tears in her eyes.

Without hesitation, Chen Mo pinched Qin Luoxi's mouth shut and poured the red moon drop into her mouth. As soon as she swallowed it, the red moon drop's effects immediately erupted, transforming into streams of red power that flowed throughout her body.

An ordinary person's physique couldn't withstand the power of the red moonlight. Chen Mo had to help Qin Luoxi sit up cross-legged, then sit behind her, placing his hands on her back to help her neutralize and transform the red moonlight within her body.

puff!

At first, Qin Luoxi was coughing up blood, but as time passed, the corpse poison in her body began to dissipate. Qin Luoxi's injuries also improved at a visible speed.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Qin Luoxi's injuries had healed by about 70-80%.

Although the bloody hole in his chest still looks frightening, the bleeding has stopped and his skin color has returned to normal.

Su Yuqing brought gauze and carefully bandaged Qin Luoxi's wound, then breathed a sigh of relief: "Young Master, you have excellent skills. Luoxi's injuries are almost healed. However, she is still very weak and needs some time to recover."

Chen Mo stopped what he was doing, and Qin Luoxi collapsed weakly into the bed, saying in a feeble voice, "Young master, thank you, young master. Please, young master, save my father."

This time, Chen Mo didn't push Qin Luoxi away. Instead, he hugged her and said, "Don't worry, I understand."

"You rest here, I'll make some arrangements and then we'll set off."

After laying Qin Luoxi down, Chen Mo glanced at the people around him and said, "You all stay here to take care of Luoxi. Xiaoyu and I will go to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion."

After leaving a message, Chen Mo and Su Yuqing hurriedly went out the door and discussed things in the courtyard.

Su Yuqing was still somewhat worried: "Young Master, have you thought this through? This might be a trap set by the other side. Going to the Prince's residence rashly at this moment could be dangerous."

Chen Mo looked up at the inky sky and said, "It's something we have to face sooner or later; there's no escaping it. Besides, if the King of Zhennan is still alive, he can tell us about Mother Rakshasa. We've been setting up this for so long precisely to find this fiend."

Seeing that Chen Mo was determined, Su Yuqing did not try to persuade him further: "Then I will go change my clothes and go with you, young master."

"it is good."

Chen Mo waited outside the courtyard for a while before seeing Su Yuqing come out.

Without saying a word, the two rushed out of Baohua Temple.

I hadn't gone far when I heard footsteps behind me.

Chen Mo turned around and saw Qin Luoxi quickly following him, and was taken aback. "Why are you here?"

Qin Luoxi quickly caught up, her eyes brimming with tears, and said, "I am concerned for my father's safety and have no intention of recuperating here. I just asked Master Yuanfang to give me extra strength so that I could go out."

Chen Mo was slightly angry: "No, the Prince's mansion is in great danger right now. You're going..."

Qin Luoxi said, "If anything happens to my father, I will not live either. I lost my mother at a young age and grew up with my father. He is my only family. I beg you, young master, to have mercy on me. Rest assured, young master, I will definitely not be a burden when I arrive at the palace. If anyone threatens me, I will take my own life."

Chen Mo really wanted to knock her unconscious.

Su Yuqing spoke up: "Luo Xi has relied on Qin Nanhe since childhood. Now that Qin Nanhe's fate is unknown, it's pitiful. If Luo Xi is not afraid of death, then come along."

Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief: "Then hurry up and catch up."

……

It was already late at night when the three arrived at the Prince of Zhennan's mansion.

The entrance was crowded with people.

People pointed and whispered among themselves, discussing the matter animatedly.

"I just heard screams coming from inside the Prince's mansion. Could it be that the Prince's mansion has been attacked?"

"That's the Prince of Zhennan's mansion! Who would dare to commit violence there? They're insane!"

"The Prince of Zhennan is a prince of a different surname personally appointed by His Majesty. He is always low-key and kind to others. How could he have fallen victim to bandits?"

"Nonsense, how could bandits dare to commit violence at the Prince of Zhennan's mansion? I think it was most likely the work of ghosts."

"What? Ghosts... I can't look at that, I want to go home."

Upon hearing that it was the work of ghosts, many people left. Only a few brave ones remained, lurking in the distance, peeking out to watch.

Chen Mo crossed the crowd and arrived at the gate.

A stench of decay wafted from inside, and the wind blowing out of the palace carried an extremely chilling cold that sent shivers down one's spine.

bump!
Chen Mo kicked open the door and burst inside.

The courtyard was quiet at night.

There was no human voice, only the howling of the eerie wind.

The ground was covered in blood, and there were also the corpses of servants.

"Ah Liang!"

Qin Luoxi saw a familiar corpse and rushed over to check. He was shocked to see that it was a thirty-year-old young man lying stiffly on the ground, his body covered with deep, bone-revealing scratches, and filled with a strong smell of corpse poison.

They were already dead beyond any doubt.

Seeing Qin Luoxi's distress, Chen Mo still reminded her, "Don't touch him. The corpse poison on his body is very potent; it's probably left behind by a golden-haired zombie with eight or more markings. If you get infected with the corpse poison, I won't be able to help you."

Qin Luoxi then stopped and dared not approach.

Chen Mo led the way forward and saw several more gruesome corpses. Qin Luoxi recognized all of these bodies, calling out their names one by one, occasionally sobbing and shedding tears.

Chen Mo couldn't spare the time to offer comfort. Instead, he looked around and noticed that black mist was swirling overhead, condensing and refusing to dissipate. Even the moon was obscured by the corpse-like aura.

Su Yuqing said, "The battle here is over, but the lingering corpse aura is still very strong. It's possible that the zombie hasn't gone far yet, so please be careful, young master."

Chen Mo became extremely alert and said, "Go to the central courtyard and see if Qin Nanhe is still there."

"This concubine will lead the way for you, young master." Qin Luoxi wiped away her tears and walked ahead, heading straight for the central courtyard.

The closer one gets to the central courtyard, the denser the aura of death becomes, sending chills down one's spine.

Although Qin Luoxi was leading the way, she was not overwhelmed by grief. Instead, she kept a watchful eye on her surroundings and dared not stray too far from Chen Mo.

Before long, they arrived at the main entrance of the central courtyard.

The gate was tightly shut.

Several conspicuous scratches were left on the door.

Judging from its appearance, it was left by a zombie's fingernail.

An extremely chilling aura emanated from the courtyard, accompanied by a howling wind reminiscent of ghosts wailing and wolves howling.

Chen Mo looked around and, finding nothing amiss, said, "Open the door."

Squeak.

Qin Luoxi pushed open the door first.

A chilling wind swept out from inside.

The main building in front of the courtyard was still lit. Qin Luoxi hurriedly ran towards the courtyard, calling out "Father!"

Chen Mo followed closely behind.

They entered the main room. Everywhere there were signs of a struggle; furniture was overturned and broken, claw marks were visible everywhere, and blood was splattered. A pungent, fishy stench permeated the air.

And... there was an extremely strong stench of corpses.

"Father, Father!"

"This humble woman has come to find you with Young Master Mo. If you hear me, please respond."

Qin Luoxi searched high and low for Qin Nanhe.

Unfortunately, after searching the entire main house, including the living room, bedrooms, and study, they still couldn't find Qin Nanhe.

Chen Mo searched around but couldn't find it. "Luo Xi, don't worry. I suppose your father has already escaped. After all, your father is quite powerful, and he also has Uncle Li. Even if he encounters a ferocious zombie, he can run away if he can't defeat it."

Qin Luoxi finally breathed a sigh of relief, her tense expression relaxing considerably. She murmured, "Father and Uncle Li are indeed highly skilled. If Father managed to escape, that would be a great stroke of luck."

Chen Mo turned to Su Yuqing: "Xiaoyu, have you noticed that the zombie is still here?"

Su Yuqing shook her head.

Chen Mo said, "Luo Xi, go find the Xuan paper that Father used to write on. Find all of it."

Perhaps worried that Qin Luoxi wouldn't understand his intentions, Chen Mo added, "Your father has profound calligraphy skills; his writing is so powerful that it seems to penetrate the paper. Although the letter is lost, if we can find the next sheet of paper on which it was written, there might be traces of the writing. Perhaps then we can find out the contents of the letter."

Qin Luoxi nodded: "Young Master is so thoughtful. I'll go find it right away."

So Qin Luoxi began rummaging through drawers and cabinets again, searching for the Xuan paper scattered on the floor. She discovered that the Xuan paper had been deliberately crumpled into balls, and some had even been torn.

There was no way to identify the traces at all.

"They are indeed meticulous. They even considered this detail." Chen Mo shook his head helplessly.

Just then, Su Yuqing tugged at Chen Mo's hand.

Ok?
Chen Mo turned around and saw Su Yuqing pointing to the top of her head, so he looked up.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

hiss!
Chen Mo gasped in shock.

Suddenly, a conspicuous corpse was nailed to the roof beam above their heads.

It was Qin Nanhe.

An iron rod pierced Qin Nanhe's chest and embedded itself in the roof beam. Qin Nanhe's body was drained of its life essence, leaving him a grotesque, desiccated corpse.

Even Chen Mo was breathless upon seeing it.

The dignified Prince of Zhennan... just died like that?

And he died such a tragic death.

This was a prince of a different surname personally appointed by the Jingtai Emperor.

"Young Master, what are you looking at?" Qin Luoxi, who was standing to the side, came over to look when she saw Chen Mo looking up and staring.

"what!!!"

A piercing scream shattered the night.

"Father!!"

……

The night grew darker, and the stench of death grew stronger.

Chen Mo and Su Yuqing stood at the door of the main room, listening to the heart-wrenching screams coming from inside.

Qin Luoxi had already taken Qin Nanhe's body down and was now lying beside it, wailing loudly.

Chen Mo didn't offer any comfort, but instead left Qin Luoxi with space to vent her emotions.

The pitiful screams made Chen Mo feel terrible. Su Yuqing came up and said softly, "Young Master, Qin Nanhe has suffered, and I'm afraid that Old Li will not escape unscathed either. I just don't know where Old Li's body is."

Chen Mo considered for a moment: "I roughly know where Lao Li's body is. Let's talk about it when Luo Xi comes out."

Before long, the loud wailing in the room turned into low sobs.

After a long while, Qin Luoxi came out wiping away her tears.

Chen Mo had thought Qin Luoxi would be devastated, but he underestimated this woman. Qin Luoxi was not overwhelmed by grief; instead, she remained rational: "Young Master, we still need to find Uncle Li."

Faced with such a strong-willed princess, Chen Mo felt a little uncomfortable: "Luo Xi, are you alright?"

Qin Luoxi wiped away her tears: "I'm fine. Father and Uncle Li risked their lives to let me escape, I can't just collapse like this. Otherwise, I would be even more sorry to Father."

Chen Mo and Su Yuqing exchanged a glance, and the latter winked at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo walked up to Qin Luoxi and gently hugged her: "If you want to cry, don't hold it in, just cry out loud."

Qin Luoxi, who had been so strong, couldn't hold back anymore and threw herself into Chen Mo's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

Chen Mo said softly, "Even if you lose your father, you still have us as your friends. Me, your Sister Su, and Hua Bai, Yuan Fang, Juan'er, Xiao Xiao, we all care about you."

Qin Luoxi didn't answer; instead, she sobbed even harder.

After a long while, Qin Luoxi finally came to her senses and stood up straight: "Thank you, young master. I know. I know, but now is not the time for me to be sad. I need to find Uncle Li. Uncle Li has raised me since I was a child."

Seeing that Qin Luoxi's emotions had largely returned to normal after venting, Chen Mo said, "Luoxi, do you know that there is a ghost in the shrine of your family's ancestral hall? Old Li goes to worship at the shrine every day and feeds that ghost with his own flesh and blood."

Qin Luoxi shook her head: "I only know that my father and Uncle Li's cultivation has increased rapidly, but I don't know why. Hearing what you say, young master, I suppose it's because they received nourishment from that ghost?"

Chen Mo nodded: "That's most likely the case. That ghost is very powerful. Old Li will probably seek its help in his desperation. Let's go to the ancestral hall and take a look."

"Ah."

The three of them rushed to the ancestral hall in the backyard.

The ancestral hall was a mess, splattered with blood and covered in scratches. The stench of death permeated the surrounding area, far stronger than that of the courtyard, and was utterly nauseating.

Clearly, a battle has taken place here.

An old man with a hunchback was lying in front of the incense table in the ancestral hall.

"Uncle Li!"

Qin Luoxi rushed into the ancestral hall, shouting loudly for Uncle Li.

Chen Mo and Su Yuqing followed them inside and stood behind Uncle Li.

Seeing Uncle Li lying on the incense table in a very strange posture.

"Uncle Li!"

Qin Luoxi reached out and patted Uncle Li on the shoulder.

Click.

Uncle Li's body immediately rolled onto the ground, his mouth wide open, his whole body turned into a dried corpse, looking extremely frightening.

Having witnessed what had happened before, Qin Luoxi didn't shout or yell. She simply walked over quietly, knelt down on the ground, and said, "Uncle Li."

Chen Mo didn't look at Uncle Li much, but focused his attention on the shrine on the incense table.

The shrine's two doors were tightly closed.

There's something vaguely inside.

"Luo Xi, step back!"

Chen Mo took a step forward and arrived in front of the shrine.

Qin Luoxi also realized that something was wrong with the shrine. Standing behind Chen Mo, she stared at the shrine with wide eyes, her heart in her throat.

Click.

Chen Mo suddenly reached out and pulled open the two doors of the shrine.

Inside the shrine, a baby was found clinging to something.

It had a large mouth, was entirely blue, and was not wearing any clothes.

but……

The baby was bitten to death by something, leaving behind a body full of corpse poison. However, it was not sucked dry.

Upon seeing this, Qin Luoxi covered her mouth. She probably never expected that the dignified Prince of Zhennan would actually be keeping such a terrifying ghost in his palace. It took her a while to come to her senses.

"Sister Su, this ghost..."

Su Yuqing said, "This is a golden ghost with the cultivation of eight sticks of incense. It seems that Old Li rushed here in a moment of crisis, wanting to use the doll's cultivation to deal with the zombie. But he didn't expect the zombie to be so ferocious that it even bit the doll to death."

hiss.

Qin Luoxi gasped, "A golden ghost with eight levels of cultivation... was actually bitten to death by that zombie. When did such a terrifying zombie appear in Nanzhou?"

Su Yuqing said, "It seems that the zombie was sent by Mother Rakshasa to silence us. Only Mother Rakshasa has the ability to do that."

Qin Luoxi murmured Rakshasa's name, tears welling up in her eyes.

Chen Mo took a step forward and looked the big-mouthed doll up and down.

The next moment, Chen Mo had an idea.

[Original Solution Essence +240000]

[Currently available original solution essence: 300000]

'I actually got a freebie.'

Next, Chen Mo had an idea:

Deconstruction.

In any case, deconstruction does not consume the essence of the original solution.

As a sharp pain shot through my head, lines of subtitles appeared.

【Name: Big Mouth Ghost】

[Type: Symbiotic Ghost]

[Function: Can coexist with humans. They nourish each other. Humans nourish this ghost with their blood and flesh, and this ghost, in turn, replenishes the cultivation of human ghosts. A mutually beneficial relationship.]

[Note: This ghost can only grow to the level of a nine-stick golden vengeful ghost. Breaking through to become a Qing-gathering ghost is virtually impossible.]

[Logic: This ghost has been supported by Lao Li for forty years, and Lao Li and this ghost share the same cultivation level.]

[Hint: This ghost was bitten to death by a more powerful zombie.]

After reading all the information, Chen Mo understood.

It seems Su Yuqing's speculation was correct: Rakshasa Mother must have sent a zombie to silence her.

It is also ironic.

Just because Qin Nanhe learned about Rakshasa's true identity, the entire Zhennan Prince's Mansion was wiped out?
This Rakshasa mother is already the greatest evil in the Southern Continent. Even if her identity has been exposed, she shouldn't be this ruthless, right? Isn't she afraid of incurring the Emperor's wrath?

Is it really necessary to hide this Rakshasa mother's identity so tightly?
Are they willing to offend the imperial court?
Unable to figure it out, Chen Mo simply waved his hand and said, "Take the body to the central courtyard. Let's go look around."

Qin Luoxi found a piece of cloth and wrapped Old Li's body in layers of cloth, then carried it on her shoulder out of the ancestral hall. The three of them then searched the entire palace, but found no other living people. They also couldn't find the zombie.

Finally had to give up.

The three returned to the courtyard and laid Qin Nanhe and Lao Li's bodies side by side. Qin Luoxi knelt beside them, silently shedding tears.

Su Yuqing said, "Young master, the clues end here. What should we do now?"

Chen Mo remained silent, lost in thought. He too was puzzled.

Logically, the zombie's decision to let Qin Luoxi come and warn him meant it intended to lure him into a trap. Now that he's here, why hasn't the other side shown up?

This is not reasonable.

Chen Mo leaned against the doorframe, gazing at the night sky and pondering: Could it be that Qin Luoxi really escaped because of sheer luck? The probability is very, very small, but it's not impossible.

After a long silence, Chen Mo spoke up: "Since the other party hasn't come, let's deal with these bodies first. The death of a prince in Nanzhou is a major event for the court. Luo Xi, the prince's funeral still needs to be arranged, what do you think?"

Qin Luoxi's voice was somewhat hoarse, "I don't know how to handle this. Everyone in the Prince's mansion is dead. My father's funeral should be conducted according to proper etiquette. Shall I go and inform the governor's office tomorrow morning?"

Su Yuqing agreed: "That's only right. The Prince cherishes peace and tranquility in this place and has vowed to rid the Southern Prefecture of evil spirits. Now that he has suffered such a calamity, he deserves a proper burial. Tomorrow morning, Luo Xi will go to the Prefectural Governor's residence and have people arrange the funeral according to proper rites..."

"and many more!"

Just then, Chen Mo spoke up.

With tears in her eyes, Qin Luoxi said, "Does the young master think that my father died a tragic death and therefore does not wish for a public burial?"

Chen Mo said, "No, that's not it. I have a plan. Maybe it can lure out Mother Rakshasa."

Qin Luoxi was shocked: "What plan?"

Chen Mo said, "However, in this case, the princess will have to suffer."

Qin Luoxi said with tears in her eyes, "I am not afraid of being wronged. If I can lure out Mother Rakshasa, I will give up my life for her. Please tell me your plan, young master."

Chen Mo stared at Qin Nanhe's corpse, pondered for a moment, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light: "I have the power of the Water Serpent, and I can create another Qin Nanhe. At that time, the princess will have to beg me to call him father and act out a play with me."

Qin Luoxi stared wide-eyed at Chen Mo in disbelief, then quickly nodded: "This concubine is willing."

Chen Mo walked up to Qin Nanhe's corpse, raised his hand to touch Qin Nanhe's neck, and then urged his second brother.

The second brother immediately transformed into a completely new Qin Nanhe.

Standing still, it is lifelike.

Looking at the completely transformed Qin Nanhe, Qin Luoxi suddenly couldn't help but throw herself into Qin Nanhe's arms, crying out in a heart-wrenching voice, "Father!!"

Qin Nanhe pushed Qin Luoxi away: "I am not your father, I am the incarnation of Young Master Mo."

Qin Luoxi naturally knew, but she still happily wiped away her tears: "I know. It's just that it's too realistic, even I, your daughter, can't tell the difference."

Chen Mo then spoke up: "Now dispose of Qin Nanhe's body completely, without leaving any trace."

"Luo Xi, you go out with your father now, walk through crowded areas, and head towards the Governor's mansion. Then, invite the Governor's guards to come and garrison the palace. Also, secretly invite a renowned physician from the Southern Prefecture to come to the mansion tonight."

Qin Luoxi also came to her senses: "That Rakshasa mother came to silence us. If she knew that Father was not dead, she would definitely continue to come to the manor to make a move."

Chen Mo: "Not bad."

Qin Luoxi: "But Father has just been assassinated. Wouldn't it be too pretentious for him to go out now?"

Chen Mo shook his head: "No. It's precisely because your father was assassinated that he had to go out despite his injuries. His intention was to tell everyone and reassure the people of this place. That's in line with your father's temperament."

Qin Luoxi pondered for a moment, "Young Master's concerns are valid. Father is indeed that kind of person. But what if we really encounter Mother Rakshasa when we go out this time?"

Chen Mo didn't say it outright: "If you're not afraid of death, what else is there to be afraid of? Go ahead. I have my own plans."

"Yes, I'm off." Qin Luoxi then took Qin Nanhe's hand and went out the door.

In the huge room, only Chen Mo and Su Yuqing remained.

Su Yuqing secretly praised Chen Mo, "Young master, what a brilliant plan! This way, that Rakshasa mother will definitely be unable to sit still."

Chen Mo said, "This was just a spur-of-the-moment decision. Let's dispose of Qin Nanhe's body first. The bodies of the others should also be disposed of. The Prince was a respectable man in life, and he cared about the peace and tranquility of the region. Even if he knew that something bad had happened to the manor, he would not say it. Instead, he would hide it."

Su Yuqing replied, "Young Master's considerations are correct."

The two divided the work and quickly disposed of all the corpses in the mansion, then tidied up the furniture in the ancestral hall and the central courtyard.

An hour or so later, Qin Luoxi helped Qin Nanhe walk in.

They were followed by a large number of guards and doctors.

Even Mulan came.

Qin Luoxi helped Qin Nanhe into the main bedroom and instructed Mulan, "Continue to invite renowned doctors from Nanzhou to treat Father's injuries. Remember, keep it a secret."

"Yes."

Qin Nanhe lay on the bed as doctors came in one by one to examine him.

Meanwhile, Mulan secretly went outside to invite other doctors.

Overnight, renowned doctors from all over the southern state were secretly invited to the Prince's residence.

It was supposed to be a secret, but insiders found out anyway, and word got out without anyone noticing.

Some of the prince's confidants, having heard some rumors, also came to the mansion to visit Qin Nanhe.

The courtyard quickly became lively.

Taking the opportunity, Chen Mo pulled Qin Luoxi to the door of the main room and asked, "Your father is usually very popular?"

Qin Luoxi said, "Yes. Father is usually very approachable and friendly. The high-ranking officials in Nanzhou all respect Father. Today, people outside have heard the news and naturally want to come and visit Father to show their attitude."

Chen Mo nodded.

Before long, one after another, high-ranking officials and dignitaries came to visit. They brought gifts, went to Qin Nanhe's bedroom to see him, said a few words about taking care of his health, and then left.

After all, Qin Nanhe was still injured, so it was inconvenient for him to stay any longer; expressing his attitude would suffice.

After a long time, all the people who had come and gone had left, including the doctors. The entire palace was empty once again.

A short while later, a hurried sound came from outside.

"Your Highness..."

Grand Tutor Pang arrived in a hurry, with Pang Zixing supporting him, repeatedly urging Grandpa to slow down. Grand Tutor Pang ignored him, trembling as he quickly entered the central courtyard and went straight to the bedroom, calling out to His Highness with great concern.

Qin Luoxi was somewhat moved and said softly, "I didn't expect that Grand Tutor Pang, at his age, would come to visit Father so late at night. He truly likes Father as his student. It's a pity that an old man has to bury his young son."

Chen Mo didn't think much of it, muttering, "Grand Tutor Pang, as a renowned scholar in the Great Qian Dynasty, is indeed a man of propriety. It's just that at his age, he still takes a concubine, which is somewhat inconsistent with the status of a scholar."

Upon hearing this, Qin Luoxi was taken aback: "Young Master Mo has misunderstood the Grand Tutor. The Grand Tutor has always been frugal and has never remarried or taken a concubine since his first wife passed away. He has only focused on reading and scholarship. It is because of this that the Grand Tutor's family is so small."

brush!
Chen Mo suddenly turned to Qin Luoxi and asked, "Are you sure Grand Tutor Pang didn't take a concubine?"

Qin Luoxi said with absolute certainty, "I am very familiar with the Grand Tutor. He also treats me like a granddaughter. I often went to the Grand Tutor's mansion to play when I was a child. Of course I know that the Grand Tutor has not taken any concubines."

Chen Mo immediately became wary: "Could it be that the Grand Tutor enjoys toying with the maids?"

Qin Luoxi's eyes widened: "How is that possible? The Grand Tutor is a great scholar in the literary world, who has always been a book lover and a man of few desires."

Chen Mo was stunned.

The image of the red figure I saw in the old Grand Tutor's courtyard that day flashed through my mind... It was definitely a woman in red.

At the time, Chen Mo thought she was a concubine or a maid.

After all, Pang Zixing had a penchant for toying with maids.

If the lower beam is crooked, the upper beam will be crooked too...

But Qin Luoxi spoke with such certainty.

So... what is that red figure?
Furthermore… Chen Mo realized he had overlooked the most important point: Rakshasa Mother was already a well-known number one evil in Nanzhou, so why did Rakshasa Mother risk offending the imperial court to wipe out the entire royal family after the Prince of Zhennan discovered her identity?
Unless, of course, Rakshasa Mother is hiding an identity that absolutely cannot be revealed.

What identity is so important that... you would destroy a king of a different gender?

The answer... is obvious.

Grand Tutor Pang.

The teacher of the Jingtai Emperor!

If it were discovered that Grand Tutor Pang was actually Rakshasa Mother... the sky would fall.

Therefore, they had no choice but to silence Qin Nanhe.

Another point……

Why did Qin Nanhe, after learning about Rakshasa's mother's identity, not tell Qin Luoxi directly, nor anyone else, but instead go to Chen Mo by writing a letter?

This is unreasonable...

Unless… this person's identity is too important. So important that Qin Nanhe dares not casually reveal it.

Who in Nanzhou could make Qin Nanhe afraid to speak?
There is only one...

Grand Tutor Pang!
Cattle!
Wow, that Rakshasa mother is awesome!

Who would have thought that the greatest evil in Nanzhou was actually the world-renowned literary master... the emperor's teacher... Grand Tutor Pang!
No wonder no one has known the whereabouts of Mother Rakshasa for the past hundred years.

Seeing Chen Mo trembling and silent, Qin Luoxi waved her hand in front of him and asked, "Young Master, what's wrong?"

Chen Mo regained his composure: "It's nothing."

Qin Luoxi breathed a sigh of relief: "Grand Tutor Pang is inside talking to Father. I'll see him off when he comes out."

Chen Mo didn't speak, but waited.

After all, the above was just Chen Mo's speculation.

It would be bad if I guessed wrong.

One more step is needed to confirm this: if Grand Tutor Pang secretly injected his avatar with corpse poison, or used other methods to eliminate it, then the claim would be confirmed.

Chen Mo held his breath, waiting.

suddenly……

Chen Mo's body trembled. He felt the turbulence emanating from his avatar.

It really was you!

"Luo Xi, stay close to me and don't stray too far. Otherwise, it will be very dangerous."

After saying that, Chen Mo didn't give Qin Luoxi a chance to ask any questions and turned to go into the bedroom.

The bedroom was peaceful.

Grand Tutor Pang sat on the edge of the bed, holding Qin Nanhe's hand and asking about his well-being.

However, Chen Mo knew that Grand Tutor Pang was injecting a silent spiritual power into Qin Nanhe's body, a power that was enough to slowly kill Qin Nanhe.

When Grand Tutor Pang saw Chen Mo enter, he said, "Young Master Mo, it's already a miracle that the Prince survived this attack. You must take good care of the Prince from now on."

Chen Mo did not answer, but instead revealed a sinister smile.

"Jie Jie Jie~"

Qin Luoxi was startled by Chen Mo's expression. She tugged at Chen Mo's arm and whispered a reminder, "Young Master, what's wrong with you? You mustn't be disrespectful to Grand Tutor Pang."

Chen Mo ignored Qin Luoxi and instead looked increasingly ferocious.

"Jie Jie Jie~"

"Grand Tutor Pang, you've kept this a secret for a long time. Should I call you Grand Tutor Pang, or Mother Rakshasa?"

"Hahaha……"

Without further ado, Chen Mo immediately formed a hand seal, and Qin Nanhe on the bed followed suit.

Suddenly, Chen Mo roared, "Godmother, descend upon me!"
