234 Chapter 122: What a Big Experience Baby! Saintess Gu's Journey for Scriptures! (6K)_3
Chen Mo's entire body was wrapped in thunder and suddenly disappeared from the spot.
...
Liuyun Inn.
Inside the tavern, the music and silk strings were mesmerizing.
A group of noble sons held dancing girls in their arms, exchanging cups, the table in front of them filled with empty wine bottles.
Yan Linghu, however, had no women beside him, his face flushed, drunken eyes gazing intently at the purple-clad woman playing the qin on stage.
He had been renting the entire place for five days straight.
For some reason, ever since his last visit, he couldn't forget Zi Yan'er, her face lingering hauntingly whenever he closed his eyes.
Yet strangely, he felt no inappropriate desires.
Just watching her from afar, being able to say a few words to her, filled him with a great sense of satisfaction.
"Liking is indulgence, but love is restraint."
"Perhaps, this is the feeling of being in love?"
Yan Linghu felt he must have fallen in love.
If not for Yan Peizhi keeping a tight rein lately, leaving him with little silver, he would've already redeemed Zi Yan'er!
On stage, Zi Yan'er plucked the qin with her delicate hands, a sharp pain occasionally stabbing through her right eye, a touch of gloom crossing her pretty face.
Though she narrowly escaped last time, she was still remotely injured by Yu Youhan, unable to use her right eye's ability...but that was just secondary; importantly, she missed a great chance to "capture" Chen Mo!
"After this incident, Chen Mo will certainly become more cautious, it won't be easy to approach him again..."
"The Cloudwater Hall has a Magician on guard, can't act rashly, and he wouldn't willingly come to Liuyun Inn..."
Zi Yan'er, helplessly, decided to focus on Yan Linghu, hoping to extract more useful information from him.
The tune ended.
Zi Yan'er stood up, swaying her waist as she walked to the table.
With delicate hands, she lifted the wine pot, filling two cups on the table, handing one to Yan Linghu, her charming eyes shimmering, voice velvety:
"Young Master Yan, I toast you."
"Alright, hehe, Yan'er, hehe..."
Seeing Yan Linghu's silly grin, a hint of disgust flashed in Zi Yan'er's eyes, secretly thinking: Is the Illusion Technique's effect too strong?
The two clinked glasses and drank in one go.
Zi Yan'er's left eye glowed blue, she asked, "Young Master Yan, do you know which places Chen Mo usually visits?"
Yan Linghu replied woodenly, "I'm not sure, besides the Imperial Music Bureau, I only saw him once at the Heavenly Martial Arena...Hmm, but he seems to have a good relationship with Lady Lin from the Lin family."
Lin family?
Zi Yan'er's eyes narrowed slightly.
When testing Chen Mo last time, he had just left the Lin Residence...but the Lin family is clearly an outsider, while Chen Mo is Consort Yu's favored subject, how could they be connected?
"Having Yu Youhan's personal protection and favored by the Eastern Royal Palace, what ability does Chen Mo have to thrive between the two factions?"
"It can't just be because of his handsome face, right?"
Zi Yan'er shook her head helplessly.
The more so, the more it highlights Chen Mo's importance!
For the sake of the master's grand ambitions, no matter how challenging, she absolutely can't give up easily!
At that moment, Zi Yan'er sensed something and suddenly looked to the left.
What is this?!
Boom!
The wall suddenly collapsed!
An eight-legged, twin-headed monster crashed in, sliding far across the ground, finally stopping as it hit the wall on the other side.
It struggled to crawl up, its massive body almost touching the ceiling, surrounded by dense black mist, its fierce face looking extremely horrifying!
"Hiss?!"
"What is this thing?!"
"Isn't my vision blurred from drinking too much?"
The people present gasped, their spines chilled, unable to react for a long time.
Soon after, a figure appeared out of nowhere.
A strong figure stood tall as pine, a splendid face cloaked with an intense killing intent, eyes shimmering with deep purple-gold light.
"Chen Mo?"
Yan Linghu shivered.
Instinctively lowered his head, afraid of being noticed by him.
Zhu Hui's cold eyes were fixed on Chen Mo, he said in a deep voice, "Regarding today's incident, my brother and I will admit defeat, tell me, what's the condition for letting us go?"
Chen Mo said blandly, "You must die."
Zhu Hui's face turned colder, "You should think carefully! Killing us, you will bear the wrath of the entire Gu God Sect! I can overlook today's events hereafter, and won't trouble Gu Manzhi anymore..."
Chen Mo shook his head, interrupted, "You're wrong, it's the Gu God Sect that will bear my wrath. Because I won't just kill you, I'll raze the Southern Wilderness, annihilate your entire family."
When saying this, his tone was calm, as if merely stating facts.
"Not so young, yet quite boastful!"
Zhu Hui's gaze swept over the group of noble sons, clearly all pampered playboys, "You must be with the court, right? Believe it or not, I'll kill them all? Causing a bigger issue, it won't benefit you at all!"
"Whether they live or die, what's it got to do with me?"
Chen Mo gestured, "Go ahead."
"..."
The people present felt their throats dry.
They were just here for some entertainment at the Imperial Music Bureau, how did it end up risking their lives?
"You..."
Zhu Hui wanted to say more, but a flash of lightning crossed his eyes, Chen Mo's form suddenly became unreal.
Afterimage?
Zhu Ming had just reacted, but before he could dodge, Chen Mo was already close, pressing both heads with his hands, glass-like flames surged out, instantly engulfing the massive body!
"Ahhhh!"
A heart-wrenching wail resounded.
The monster's body twisted continuously, countless Gu Poison Worms emerged from its skin, howling in attempts to flee, but were powerless, quickly turning charred and cracked under the terrifying heat, emitting a nauseating stench.
