I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 1284 - 493: The Empress’s Cultivation! The Princess’s Night Raid!

"Slave?"

The Empress was momentarily stunned and asked in bewilderment, "What do you mean by that?"

She quickly realized, and her cheeks instantly became flushed. Embarrassed and annoyed, she said, "You wouldn’t be thinking of doing something ridiculous to me again, would you? I’ve already been bullied by you like that, and you’re still not satisfied?!"

"... Your Highness misunderstood."

Chen Mo patiently explained, "What I meant is, there is a way to significantly enhance your power, but it may have certain side effects."

"Is it about this? I was wondering if you had some new trick..." The Empress breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Since it can enhance my power, I am certainly willing, just tell me what to do."

"There’s no shortcut in cultivation, even Dual Cultivation can only accelerate the process; it can’t turn you from a mortal into a master overnight." Chen Mo said, "Unless Your Highness can control Dragon Qi like the Princess, you can ignore the realm restrictions and unleash great strength."

"I’ve considered that method too." The Empress frowned, "But the human race’s body can’t bear Dragon Qi, we can only borrow external objects, and it can’t last long... and compared to the Heavenly Decree Seal, the power of the Heavenly Shining Seal I hold is limited, plus I don’t have the Chu Family bloodline, so I can’t unite with the Seal as Li’er does..."

Chu Yanli originally gave this Seal Platform to the Empress just in case.

After all, her health was not optimistic, and if something unexpected were to happen, the Empress could use it to recall the Seal and take charge.

Moreover, Chu Yanli repeatedly warned against overusing Dragon Qi, for fear that the Empress, with her mortal body, would soon collapse.

"Ordinary humans can’t bear Dragon Qi, but with my personal modification, it’s different." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Modification?" The Empress blinked, looking somewhat confused.

Chen Mo said, "I have True Dragon Blood in me, and as long as I fuse it into your bloodstream, it can reshape your Root Bone, allowing your body to coexist with Dragon Qi perfectly."

The Empress, half understanding, asked, "Then what does this have to do with the ’slave’ you mentioned?"

Chen Mo said helplessly, "That’s the side effect I mentioned. Absorbing my blood, in a sense, makes you my follower, and you will subconsciously obey my commands..."

After hearing his detailed explanation, the Empress couldn’t help but swallow, her cheeks flushed.

So absorbing Dragon Blood has such a side effect?

In that case, wouldn’t she be subject to his whims in the future?

If he tells her to lie down, she lies down; if he tells her to move, she moves... That would make her position as Empress quite undignified!

But then again, the current situation isn’t much different. She already can’t refuse Chen Mo’s requests; otherwise, her boundaries wouldn’t keep lowering step by step...

"Your Highness needn’t rush to answer, I’m just bringing up the idea; whether it’s feasible or not is still unknown." Chen Mo said.

After all, someone as resilient as Chu Yanli is one in a million, having survived over a decade of Dragon Qi erosion. Even though the Empress is a mother of a nation, imbued with the fortune of the empire, she may not withstand the transformation from Dragon Blood.

However, the Empress only pondered for a moment before nodding and said, "I am willing."

Chen Mo furrowed his brows slightly, "Perhaps Your Highness should reconsider; this is a path of no return."

The Empress, her dark almond eyes looking into his, softly said, "From the day I fell in love with you, there was no turning back."

Chen Mo was momentarily speechless.

The Empress rested her head on his shoulder, poked his chest with her finger, and said quietly, "As the saying goes, ’marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog.’ Though I haven’t formally entered your household, in my heart, I’ve already acknowledged being yours. As a wife, I should adhere to the husband, so Dragon Blood isn’t really a shackle..."

"But let me be clear, you cannot, for how easily I’m bullied, side with Yu Youhan and let her lord over me..."

"..."

Chen Mo was slightly bemused, feeling both moved and amused.

Considering such matters in the face of such severe issues?

The Empress and Her Majesty the Consort never got along; neither would submit to the other. The presence of Wu Lie, a common enemy, had united them temporarily, but should they truly become family, chaos would ensue...

But thinking any more doesn’t help now; they’ll have to deal with things as they come.

"I can use Red Silk to control the Empress, suppress her with bloodline, and I have the Daoist Venerable’s Divine Soul Origin in my hand, so I should be able to stabilize the situation... right?"

"If push comes to shove, some family law might be in order, applying the true Three Flowers Converged at the Top!"

Chen Mo speculated to himself.

"Little thief, what are you thinking about? Why aren’t you speaking?" asked the Empress.

Chen Mo snapped back to reality, cleared his throat, and said, "Nothing much, rest assured, Your Highness, only I can lord over you in the future, no one else can."

"Nonsense, what are you spouting!" The Empress pinched him angrily, though she was used to his flirtations, and replied, "Time waits for no one, shall we start now?"

"No rush, this is no small matter, it allows no room for error, and must be done gradually." Chen Mo said solemnly, "Before merging the Dragon Blood, we must first enhance your tolerance to Dragon Qi through the method of Opening the Nether and Reversing the Origin."

"Your Highness, please lie down."

"Mm..."

The Empress, suppressing her embarrassment, leaned down by the edge of the pool.

Through the clear pool water, the outlined curves and flawless skin like white jade could be seen perfectly.
