I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 1236 - 469: The Fairy’s Explosive Jealousy! Paper Flying Girl Reports for Duty!

The four of them got off the flying boat and headed towards Tiandu City.

As they passed the South City Gate, they noticed the bustling crowd near the shrine, and Chen Mo couldn’t help but feel a bit confused.

The temple had been built for some time, and the aftermath of the explosion had already subsided. Logically, people should gradually forget about it, so why were more and more worshipers coming to offer incense?

Moreover, besides ordinary citizens, there were quite a few well-dressed young masters and ladies, as well as officials in soft palanquins, surrounded by attendants...

Chen Mo reached out and grabbed a robust man, asking, "Brother, may I ask why you all come to offer incense at Zhenyue Temple? Is there something special today, like a second incense stick at half price?"

Because Purple Extreme Cave Heaven had distorted his appearance, the man didn’t recognize Chen Mo and glanced at him, saying, "You must be from out of town. Who in the entire Tiandu City doesn’t know of Duke Zhenyue’s fame?"

"Ahem, I have heard a bit," Chen Mo picked up the conversation, saying, "I’ve heard that Mr. Chen slays the Demon Clan, destroys the Demon Sect, sets a standard for heaven and earth, and establishes a foundation for the people. He’s truly the backbone of our Great Yuan! He’s also impossibly handsome, with a demeanor as noble as jade trees, and is the dream of countless young women, known as the purest beauty in Central State..."

"..."

Ling Ningzhi and the others beside him had odd expressions, silently spitting.

This guy sure has a thick skin, climbing up the pole like that, and Central State’s purest love... more like the flirtiest!

The man listened in a daze, frowning, "Why do you know all my lines? If you understand it so well, why are you asking me?"

Chen Mo smiled and said, "I’m just curious, why have so many people suddenly gathered, it feels like it was planned..."

The man raised his head proudly, saying, "This news was only just released. Mr. Chen went south and not only eradicated the Gu God Sect but also wiped out a Barbarian Tribe, thwarting the Bone Erosion Tribe’s plot..."

Hearing this, Chen Mo suddenly realized.

So the Bone Erosion Tribe secretly transporting barbarian slaves to the capital, attempting to release blood mist, had already spread, causing a huge uproar!

Their methods were extremely insidious and cruel, and if they had succeeded, the entire Tiandu City would have become a living hell, with the first to be affected being those court officials!

If Chen Mo hadn’t discovered and stopped it, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

Coupled with the fact that he didn’t lose a single soldier and completely annihilated the enemy army, his prestige had reached a new peak.

Now the words "Duke Zhenyue" had become a symbol known to almost everyone, from royalty and nobility to common folk.

Moreover, it’s said that this shrine is very efficacious. As long as your heart is sincere, Mr. Chen might descend a divine skill to fulfill your wish... All at once, those seeking knowledge, fame, or even children came to worship, practically trampling the shrine’s threshold!

"Alright, can’t talk with you any longer, if I delay any more I won’t even get in line, my wife’s hope of conceiving this year is all resting on Mr. Chen!" The man said no more and turned to squeeze into the crowd.

Chen Mo: "..."

Ling Ningzhi pursed her lips, softly saying, "Lord, I didn’t think you also had this ability?"

Yu Hongyin and Qiao Tong were also trying hard not to laugh, their shoulders shaking incessantly.

Chen Mo’s mouth curved upward, smiling, "I can’t manage others’ wives, but if the Daoist needs this, I can indeed fulfill your wish."

"N-no need for that..."

Ling Ningzhi blushed furiously at his words, her head drooping, too shy to speak further.

Knowing Chen Mo’s character, he wouldn’t just talk, he would actually do it... If she ended up pregnant before even getting married, it would be mortifying!

"Do you two have a problem?"

Chen Mo glanced at the two onlookers.

Yu Hongyin’s cheeks were flushed, and she quickly averted her gaze.

Though it was unrelated to her, she felt inexplicably flustered.

"Lucky I left a wisp of divine thought in the shrine, attached to the statue, to absorb the Power of Seven Emotions, otherwise it would have been wasted..."

Chen Mo released a strand of divine sense, sending it into the temple.

Feeling that vast power, he couldn’t help but be amazed.

But with experience from previous times, he didn’t rush to refine it, instead temporarily storing it in the statue, planning to absorb it later when no one was around.

"Let’s go."

Chen Mo lifted his leg and headed towards the capital city’s gates.

Entering Tiandu City and looking at the bustling streets, he couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional.

Although he had only left the capital for a little over a month, too much had happened, inevitably giving him a sense of time’s passage.

"By the way, Saintess Yu, do you have a place in the capital?" Chen Mo asked aloud.

"I..."

Yu Hongyin was about to speak when Qiao Tong nudged her with his elbow, then cleared his throat and said, "To be honest with you, sir, we returned the house we rented on North Market Street before, and now we don’t know where to go."

Chen Mo pondered for a moment, saying, "Coincidentally, I have a house in the South City that’s been vacant. I’ll have someone come and clean it up, and you can stay there."

Yu Hongyin hesitated, "Isn’t that inconvenient?"

Chen Mo waved his hand dismissively, "Not at all, it’s just sitting empty anyway, and you being there will make it livelier."

"Well... okay, then I’ll trouble you, Mr. Chen." Yu Hongyin nodded with a gentle smile, her eyes like crescent moons.

Chen Mo first went to Wind Building and booked two upper rooms, letting the two stay temporarily, and planned to take them to the house once it was ready.
