From Chen Mo’s perspective, two stunningly beautiful faces were pressed together, one sinisterly captivating, the other exquisite, so close that he could almost feel the warm breath they exhaled.
Meanwhile, the Dragon Qi constantly tried to break free, and Ji Hongxiu’s hand moved accordingly...
To prevent the Dragon Qi from escaping, Ling Ningzhi also extended her hand to help...
Chen Mo let out a muffled groan, his expression growing increasingly strange.
"Huh? What’s going on?" Ji Hongxiu looked at the changes before her, a bit puzzled.
Ling Ningzhi’s face turned red, and she whispered, "Master, we better let go, this is really scary... it might, it might make people cry..."
"Hehe, I don’t believe it, let it cry in front of me?" Ji Hongxiu sneered, her grip tightening a bit more.
Chen Mo’s face twisted slightly, a mix of pain and an indescribable thrill.
After all, she was one of the Ultimate Venerables of this world, a woman standing at the pinnacle of Jiu Zhou!
"Thirty years on the eastside, thirty years on the west, don’t bully the young and poor! Stupid woman, just you wait!"
"One day I’ll have you master and disciple serving rice, injecting you fiercely with the villain gene!"
Seeing Ji Hongxiu’s serious gaze, a hint of mischievousness emerged in Chen Mo’s heart. He mobilized the Qi-Blood Power, injecting it into the Ink Treasure...
The rapidly transforming Ink Treasure suddenly slipped from his hand, and because they were so close, it directly slapped onto that exceedingly charming face.
Half a quarter of an hour later.
Chen Mo was already fully dressed, and the Dragon Qi had returned to the Dantian.
According to Ji Hongxiu, this Dragon Qi had already been refined by him, forcibly stripping it away might cause unforeseeable effects... after all, the Cause and Effect involved was too immense.
Ji Hongxiu sat on a chair, disdainfully wiping her cheek with a handkerchief, "Despicable wretch, how dare you attack me?"
Chen Mo’s lips twitched, but he said nothing.
At that moment, he noticed the black cat nestled in Ji Hongxiu’s arms, and his face changed instantly, suddenly as if facing a formidable enemy.
The black cat leapt from Ji Hongxiu’s arms, coming to Chen Mo’s side, its tail high and flicking as it affectionately nuzzled him.
"Relax, its Divine Soul and memory have already been sealed by me. It seems its obsession is too strong; it seems quite attached to you... might as well leave it for you to take care of," Ji Hongxiu said.
Chen Mo frowned, "Why not just kill it directly?"
Ji Hongxiu squinted slightly, chuckling, "It’s the favorite maidservant of the Demon Lord; if it dies, the Demon Lord certainly won’t sit idly by."
"It came for you in the first place, by then the Demon Lord will surely find you, and the consequences, you should be well aware..."
Chen Mo furrowed his brows tighter, "So you mean I have to take good care of it? Until when?"
Ji Hongxiu shrugged, "That’s none of my business, then."
Chen Mo seriously suspected this woman was deliberately disgusting him.
The black cat jumped onto the table, its jewel-like heterochromatic eyes gazing at him, its head rubbing against his hand, seemingly wanting a pet.
Chen Mo took a deep breath, grabbing the cat by the scruff of its neck, lifting it up.
Fine, he’d just bring it along for now, and deal with it in Tiandu City when he got back to the Empress...
After Chen Mo left the room, Ji Hongxiu crossed her legs, resting her chin on her hand, seeming thoughtful.
"With him possessing the Dragon Qi, he’s an object of contention between the Empress and Queen Yu, if Qingxuan gets involved, it could be very dangerous..."
"The Dragon Qi involves the fortunes of Jiu Zhou, the Cause and Effect is too grand, even the Causality Severing Sword can’t cut through it."
"However, this is a perfect opportunity to deal with Yu Youhan."
After pondering for a while, Ji Hongxiu spoke up, "Qingxuan..."
Ling Ningzhi responded, "What are your instructions, Master?"
Ji Hongxiu said flatly, "You can’t handle this man, just leave it to your master."
