Ji Hongxiu originally planned to tie up her long black hair with a ribbon as usual, but after hesitating, she inexplicably styled it into a cloud bun.
Looking at the dignified appearance of her reflection in the mirror, she felt inexplicably flustered and hastily waved her hand to shatter the mirror.
"Since it’s already done, let’s just leave it for now."
She steadied her mind and spoke out, "Alright, I know you’re awake, come out."
A moment later, a chuckling voice sounded, "Little Bai, let me explain..."
Ji Hongxiu coldly said, "Committing such immoral acts while I’m unconscious, what else is there to explain? Do you really think I can’t deal with you?"
"But when you went to the Dao Domain to send yourself to die, you didn’t ask for my permission," retorted the Yin God indignantly. "Besides, you seemed to enjoy it yourself, even posing like a puppy..."
"Shut up!"
Ji Hongxiu bit her silver teeth, embarrassed and annoyed, "Wasn’t it you who started it first?"
In her heart, she admitted that what the Yin God did wasn’t wrong. Since she chose to split her Divine Soul, this body wasn’t solely hers anymore.
But what truly angered her wasn’t this—
"Even if you wanted to do something, you could at least wait until I was awake. It was the first time, but I have no memory of it..." Ji Hongxiu said resentfully.
The Yin God paused, then suddenly understood, "Oh, it’s because of this? Haha, I’ve been prepared for this, watch closely."
"Hmm?"
Just as Ji Hongxiu was reacting, a memory surged into her mind like a tide.
Her body was initially rigid, then she collapsed softly onto the bed, trembling slightly, her eyes becoming hazy...
With the Yin God’s sharing, the entire process was relived again, even the previously neglected details now seemed more vivid.
Ji Hongxiu’s delicate chest heaved, her breath rapid, suppressing sobs echoing in the room:
"Nuisance, the newly changed clothes are going to be dirty again..."
...
...
On the eastern side of Tiandu City, within a desolate dense forest.
A dazzling white light flashed, and a tall, slender figure slowly appeared.
Chen Mo looked around, seeing nothing but chaos; the site had been thoroughly searched, with Duan Zhongmou and Chu Heng’s bodies, along with that black sedan chair, nowhere to be found.
"It seems the court has already found this place..."
"Duan Zhongmou was killed by Ji Lianxing, while Chu Heng died at the hands of the Demon Lord, having nothing to do with me."
Chen Mo narrowed his eyes slightly.
The death of Chu Heng was indeed a relief for him, removing a significant threat.
However, as the Demon Lord once said, there was a Divine Sense within Chu Heng constantly observing him... Considering the series of events, an intense feeling of unease grew stronger in his heart.
The other party’s plan was so thorough, but why was no one arranged at the altar?
It truly defied common sense.
It appeared he interrupted the ritual, but was that really the case?
"Lv Huaiyu first hinted for me to go to the shrine, which led to rescuing the Crown Prince. Then he informed me of Chu Heng’s escape, indirectly causing Chu Heng’s demise, and leaving no proof behind..."
"Could this have all been arranged by the Emperor?"
Chen Mo’s mind was a jumbled mess without any clear insight.
"Meow~"
At that moment, a familiar sound came from nearby.
Chen Mo turned his head to see a black cat hiding behind a tree, peeking out and gazing at him.
"Silly cat?"
Usually, most Qi-Blood is stored in the acupoints for emergencies, while the surplus Blood Qi is refined into Blood Evil to nourish the Soldier Control Seal, steadily advancing the ’Military Dao and Truth’.
"This thing is practically custom-made for me." Chen Mo pulled a smile, reaching out to rub the cat’s head, praising, "Well done, silly cat."
"Meow~"
The cat squinted its eyes, its tail standing tall like a flagpole, its tip gently swaying.
"Let’s go, I’ll take you home."
Chen Mo lifted the cat, ready to leave, when suddenly a piercing sound of something tearing through the air came from the sky.
Looking up, he saw a golden meteor roaring towards him, crashing down in front of him in an instant, causing the ground to tremble.
As the dust settled, Chu Yanli’s figure emerged.
She panted slightly, her golden eyes fixed on Chen Mo, gritting her teeth, "You, where exactly did you run off to? Do you know how hard I’ve been searching for you!"
Chen Mo asked curiously, "Does Her Highness have something for me?"
Chu Yanli spoke urgently, "You went after Chu Heng, he was killed by some unknown demon creature, but you disappeared. I thought..."
"You thought I died?" Chen Mo understood, "Her Highness was worried about me?"
Chu Yanli’s expression paused, just about to say something.
Then her eyebrows arched, she leaned close to Chen Mo, her nose twitching like a little dog, sniffing carefully.
Chu Yanli scrutinized him, suspiciously saying, "And your brows are relaxed, breathing is erratic, looking all lazy and satisfied, with traces of spring... You didn’t get seduced by a demon, did you?!"
Chen Mo: "..."
Almost forgot, this woman’s perception is terrifyingly sharp, almost like a human scanner.
Thinking of the Daoist Venerable’s mountainous Nine Bends Corridor, yes, truly an exhausting enchantress...
