I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 51 - 41: Murder, Summoning Soul! (2 in 1)

The sky is clear and fresh, a gentle breeze blowing.

Stalls are set up on both sides of the Cangyuan Bridge junction, peddlers shouting along the street:

"Piping hot buns—"

"Sugar cakes for sale!"

"Osmanthus Sweet Cake, fresh from the oven!"

...

This place is considered the snack street of Tiandu City, bustling with people, lively and noisy, and everywhere you can see young masters and misses in brocade clothing, leisurely strolling around.

A pretty girl walked down the street, her martial uniform accentuating her slender figure, her black hair simply pinned up with a silver hairpin, showing a breezy and spirited demeanor.

Passers-by turned to look—

In Great Yuan where the martial arts culture is prevalent, such attire isn’t unusual, but this girl’s way of eating is really...

She’s been eating nonstop from one end of the street to the other, her cheeks puffed, lips glossy and shiny, still holding two pig’s trotters in her hands.

Her appearance is delicate, but her eating manner is unrestrained, creating a sharp contrast.

"Miss, slow down, wait for me!"

Qing’er, with her hair in twin buns and following with short steps, held a variety of snacks, barely able to see the road ahead.

This is a typical day for the servant and master.

Start from the head of Cangyuan Bridge, consider it an appetizer, then head to De Sheng Restaurant for a complete meal of four dishes and a soup, and after eating, walk back the same way to help digestion, perhaps picking up some dessert on the way.

And all these together are just one of the three meals.

"The Cultivation Technique of Martial Saint Mountain involves both internal and external training, refining Essence into Qi, forging the body, and eating itself is a way of cultivating Essence Qi."

"Miss is a True Martial Body, her digestion rate is extremely fast, her Root Bone almost has no limits, consequently, her appetite is alarmingly large... Just in one day, she consumes food worth more than a dozen silver pieces, and that’s just regular food, the cost would multiply several times with Alien Beast meat."

"Although the Shen Family is a prestigious family, they are not involved in business and have no revenue-generating ways, how can they bear such consumption?"

Qing’er couldn’t help worrying.

Originally, Shen Zhixia was sent back to Tiandu City after she almost ate all the Alien Beasts on the mountain to extinction.

Having returned only a few days, she had already exhausted three cooks... having no other option, they had to look for food outside.

At this rate, it might just bankrupt the Shen Family...

Suddenly, a thought popped into Qing’er’s mind.

"Right, Chen Mo has money!"

Not to mention the lucrative benefits of being part of the Sky Scale Guard, Mrs. Chen’s maternal family is rich and powerful!

The He Family controls the top-tier sect Yanyu Pavilion, with influence sprawling across two counties and one circuit in Jiangnan, just from the canal transport business alone they make a fortune, they would definitely be able to afford keeping the Miss!

"And he isn’t as unbearable as rumors suggest, his skills are on par with Miss, considered among the top talents, and now, he’s also a big hero who has slain evil demons..."

The more Qing’er thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

Tip-tap-tip—

At that moment, a series of urgent horse hooves sounded from the street corner.

"Sky Scale Guard on a case, make way!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Qing’er looked up to see a magnificent horse galloping from the corner of the street.

On the horse sat a man and a woman, the man’s figure tall and graceful, beautiful as jade, holding the reins, with a striking woman in a blue and white robe sitting sideways behind him, her dress fluttering with the wind.

Pedestrians hurriedly moved to both sides, according to the Protocol Order, galloping horses are strictly forbidden in the market area, violators are to be chastised with fifty lashes.

But rules are meant for common people, Sky Scale Guard is not bound by such.

Even if they flipped every stall on this street, vendors must still appease with a smiling face, daring not show any displeasure.

"Chen Mo?"

"Who is that woman behind him?"

Qing’er frowned deeply.

Riding together on one horse suggests an extraordinary relationship, and that woman with her refined beauty wasn’t lacking compared to Miss...

Danger! Danger! Danger!

"Miss... Miss?"

Shen Zhixia kept her head down chewing on the pig’s trotter, oblivious to the outside world.

Qing’er: "..."

Your man is almost being taken away, and you have no sense of crisis...

Now Qing’er’s mindset shifted from "worried about her own cabbage being dug up by pigs" to "worried about their own pig eating too much, letting the cabbage be dug up by others"...

...

"Drive!"

Chen Mo spurred the horse forward, heading toward the west side of the city.

Li Yuan sat behind him, her legs close together, hands covering her skirt, her cheeks still flushed.

They had just left Melody Avenue when they received a message from the Government, there was a case, asking Li Yuan to head to the west of the city immediately.

Li Yuan had specially changed her skirt last night which was inconvenient for horse riding, so she had taken a coach to the Imperial Music Bureau, and now with urgent request from the Government, she had no choice but to ride with Chen Mo...

Feeling the surrounding gazes, she felt embarrassed, but had nowhere to hide, gritting her teeth to endure.

"Chen Mo, is that girl really your informant?" Li Yuan asked.

She knew Chen Mo had laid many informants around the city, his capture of Yan Liang was based on highly accurate information, so she initially did not suspect anything.

But now, the more she thought about it, the more something seemed off.

That girl was extremely beautiful and a Magician, why would she willingly stay in such a place?

Chen Mo understood Li Yuan’s thoughts and turned his head, saying: "Her identity is special, I cannot disclose it, staying in the Imperial Music Bureau was her own decision, we are merely cooperating, each getting what we need."

"Oh."

Hearing this, Li Yuan did not inquire further.

Chen Mo slightly curled his lips, smiling, "Why, are you jealous?"

Li Yuan’s eyes flickered with panic, "I was just asking casually, who’s jealous? Besides, we’re just colleagues, why would I be jealous..."

As she spoke, her confidence waned.

Her entire body had been explored, and they even shared the same bed; what kind of colleagues were these?
