I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 495

Chapter 495: Chapter 197: There is a teacher in every trio! Empress: Did the little thief cause trouble again?!

"You both took off your clothes, and you say you did nothing?!"

Ling Ningzhi looked at the two with a bitter gaze.

She was no longer the naive young girl she once was.

A man and a woman, barely clad, lying together on the same bed all night... how could nothing have happened?

Ji Hongxiu’s skin looked as white as snow with a rosy blush, glowing softly, as if a peach blossom nourished by morning dew...

Originally, she thought her master had hidden difficulties, but now it was clear he was simply enjoying himself!

"Master, I can give up anything for you, but absolutely not Mr. Chen! You can’t do anything improper with him!" Ling Ningzhi clutched at her robe hem tightly, mustering her courage to speak.

She had lost both parents at a young age, living with her grandfather.

After joining Tianshu Pavilion, Ji Hongxiu cared for her attentively, taught her meticulously, and groomed her into the sect’s chief disciple; in her eyes, she was both a teacher and a mother!

Therefore, she couldn’t accept her master doing such a thing!

"I was merely using the Dragon Qi to suppress the Dao Pattern, not what you think. If you don’t believe it, you can ask Chen Mo," Ji Hongxiu deflected again.

"..."

Facing Ling Ningzhi’s probing gaze, Chen Mo smiled wryly and said, "All my meridians are sealed, I couldn’t move at all, all I could do was stare blankly... Besides, if you don’t trust your master’s character, don’t you trust me?"

?

Ji Hongxiu frowned slightly.

Why did that sound a bit strange?

Hearing this, Ling Ningzhi’s expression softened, hesitating for a moment, and said, "Master, please step out for a moment."

Though slightly puzzled, Ji Hongxiu, seeing her disciple’s serious demeanor, said nothing more, draped on her Daoist robe, and got up to leave the room.

Ling Ningzhi knelt by the bedside, her watery eyes fixed intently on Chen Mo.

Chen Mo asked in confusion, "Zhi’er, why are you looking at me like that?"

He clearly did nothing, so why did he feel inexplicably guilty...

Ling Ningzhi lightly bit her lip and said, "Sir, you are reckless and fond of women, always attracting girls, and Master is beautiful, so I’m really a little uneasy..."

"..."

Heh, quite the accurate observation...

Chen Mo said helplessly, "So, what do you want to do?"

Ling Ningzhi’s cheeks flushed red, her eyes shimmering with a watery glow, and she softly murmured, "I want to check personally..."

[・_・?]

Chen Mo was momentarily stunned, "Hmm?!"

...

Moments later, a cool voice emerged from her lips:

"I said from the beginning not to let Qingxuan get too close to Chen Mo, while Dragon Qi can gather fortune, it also obscures one’s fate, which might not be a good thing for Qingxuan."

"And the result?"

"In just a few months, she’s already thrown her body into it!"

Ji Hongxiu shook her head and said, "At first, I also couldn’t accept it, but what Chen Mo said last night, thinking it over, actually made a lot of sense. We have no right to decide Qingxuan’s life for her."

The cool female voice retorted, "As a master, it’s naturally our duty to guide disciples onto the right path! If, due to indulging in romantic feelings, her Dao Heart becomes clouded, severing her immortal path, regret will come too late!"

Ji Hongxiu said, "It might not be so dire. In my opinion, although Chen Mo is a bit fickle, he’s genuinely sincere towards Qingxuan."

The cool female voice sneered, "Sincere? It’s nothing more than being captivated by beauty! Fickle in love, faithless, nine out of ten men in the world are like this! Entrusting the future to a man is a most foolish act!"

Ji Hongxiu curled her lips and snorted coldly, "Not to mention Qingxuan, aren’t you the same? Without relying on Chen Mo to suppress the fire poison, your Divine Soul would be scorched by now, and you’d still have strength to spew nonsense?"

"..."

The cool female voice responded angrily, "For so many years, even without Chen Mo, I would have managed! It’s not that you’re soft-boned, shamelessly lost to desires!"

Ji Hongxiu chuckled sarcastically, "You should know better than I do; over the past half year, the Heavenly Dao’s malice has grown stronger, and the Nine Luminaries Revolving Light Spell alone can no longer bear it, causing irreversible damage to the Divine Soul each time."

"If it continues like this, it won’t be long before you and I meet the same end as Ling Yishan!"

Hearing this, the cool female voice fell silent.
