I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 1228 - 465: Disciple Strategies Master! The Ultimate Wingman Is Born!

?

Chen Mo was momentarily stunned.

So when the Daoist Venerable asked for his "help," this is what he meant?

Speaking of which, now as a Second-grade Grandmaster, he has to help the Daoist Venerable enhance his cultivation, and when he breaks through to First Grade, he still has to undergo Dual Cultivation with the Empress...

So he really has become just an experience tool?

"What, you don’t want to?" Ji Hongxiu saw he wasn’t responding and furrowed her brows, saying, "If you’re worried about Yu Youhan causing trouble for you, then just pretend I never said anything. It’s not like I must have Dual Cultivation anyway..."

"The Daoist Venerable misunderstood, of course I am willing." Chen Mo rubbed his chin with his fingers and said with a smile, "I was just thinking about what position would be most efficient for cultivation."

"..."

Ji Hongxiu’s face turned a few shades redder, she turned her head and spat, "Don’t get the wrong idea, I’m doing all this just for Qingxuan."

At this point, she paused and continued, "Once I’ve completely freed myself from the cost of the Heavenly Dao, I won’t get involved in matters between you anymore."

Chen Mo frowned, "What do you mean by that?"

Ji Hongxiu seemed somewhat guilty, not daring to look in his eyes, "Qingxuan will marry into the Chen Family sooner or later, and I am her mentor. As the saying goes, a teacher for a day is a mother for life. Both emotionally and rationally, I should keep my distance from you, and not engage in such underhanded things..."

During this period, she had also seriously thought about the relationship among the three of them.

Although Qingxuan outwardly accepted it, it indeed contradicted the norms. If this matter spread, how would the world perceive them as mentor and disciple? How would they view the Tianshu Pavilion?

How should the two of them face themselves?

Even though her heart was filled with reluctance, Ji Hongxiu knew clearly that this abnormal relationship was not destined to last.

In this case, it would be better to decisively end it, to avoid a major disaster.

Chen Mo realized what was going on and said with amusement, "No wonder you suddenly said you wanted Dual Cultivation with me, turns out you want to go wild one last time before I get married?"

These words sounded a bit rough, but to some extent, they were also a true reflection of her inner thoughts.

"Enhancing cultivation is true, being reluctant to let you go is also true."

Ji Hongxiu’s fingers tightly clutched the hem of her clothes, her voice trembling slightly, "If I were just Ji Hongxiu, I could naturally ignore the rules of the world, but in reality, I also bear the thousand-year legacy of the Tianshu Pavilion, some things are not just as you wish..."

Chen Mo fell silent.

A moment later, he asked, "Then what do you plan to do in the future?"

"Once everything has settled, I’ll return to the sect to seclude myself in meditation, comprehend the Great Dao, and no longer engage in worldly affairs."

Ji Hongxiu sensed his low mood, her heart also growing more sour, she said in a low voice, "I once told you, before my master passed away, there was a prophecy: ’When the disciple holds the Cause, and the master assumes the Effect, the day of reversing Yin and Yang will be the time of Karma’s reformation... Perhaps one day when I truly comprehend the Karma Path, I can completely let go of this responsibility."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo’s expression became a bit peculiar, "If you say it like that, then you might not be able to leave me at all."

"Huh?"

Ji Hongxiu hadn’t understood what this meant when she suddenly sensed an incomparably immense pressure, and there was a familiar feeling of bloodline connection.

Chen Mo’s eyes turned pure white, radiating divine light, a dark slit opened up at the center of his brow, seemingly leading to another space, where a translucent seed seemed to be quietly suspended.

As the Ultimate Venerable of the Karma Path, Ji Hongxiu immediately recognized the origin of this object.

"Is this the Origin Seed?!"

"You actually absorbed the Daoist Ancestor’s Dao Fruit?!"

Her pupils contracted, her cherry lips parted, her face full of disbelief.

Initially learning that the Daoist Ancestor had "resurrected" in the Secret Realm, she was somewhat skeptical, but the core of Karma embodying the Dao Ancestor’s lifelong insights actually appeared on Chen Mo!

Recalling Zhu Huai’s mentioning of anomalies like reversed Yin and Yang, and changes in life and death, Ji Hongxiu was instantly struck by a bolt of lightning!

All her confusion was resolved in this moment!

"The day of reversing Yin and Yang, the time of Karma’s reformation..."

"So this was what it meant?!"

Chen Mo leaned over to her ear and whispered, "Strictly speaking, I’m also a disciple of the Daoist Ancestor now, so if you want to comprehend the Karma Path, you’d better cultivate well with me, avoiding it won’t help..."

"..."

Ji Hongxiu’s throat moved, her mind was in chaos for a moment.

She originally wanted to numb herself with focused cultivation, but she didn’t expect that the ’Great Dao’ she had been desperately pursuing was right before her eyes?

Amidst the surprise and shock, a hint of joy emerged, of course, she didn’t want to part with Chen Mo, she just lacked a justified reason to stay beside him, but now, that reason had become very compelling!

"Master, Lord, what are you two discussing?" At this moment, Ling Ningzhi walked over and asked.

Chen Mo said straightforwardly, "Oh, your master said she plans to retreat to the mountains after you and I get married, severing ties with the mortal world, completely cutting off relations with us."

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Ningzhi looked anxious, held Ji Hongxiu’s hand, and said, "Master, please don’t do anything foolish, I don’t want to be separated from you!"

"Actually, I..."

Ji Hongxiu had just opened her mouth when Ling Ningzhi continued, "I’ve thought it over, outside, we are master and disciple, but behind closed doors, we are sisters; even on my wedding night, I want to be with Master as well, this way you and Lord fulfill the rites of propriety, and we become a family..."

???

Ji Hongxiu never expected that Ling Ningzhi would plan so thoroughly, contemplating even such matters!

Her cheeks instantly flushed crimson, and she said shyly and angrily, "You rebellious disciple, what nonsense are you talking about! Who wants to be sisters with you? And share a wedding room... If others hear this, how can I even live as your master?"
