"I don't want it."
Queen dusa did need the Huangji Pill, but accepting it would an admitting that she had feelings for him.
Wouldn't that make him act even more shaless in the future?
No. Absolutely not.
Chen Mo looked at Queen dusa's feigned seriousness and thought, With her pride, she'll never admit it so easily. I'd better back off for now and take a gentler approach.
Retreating to advance, Chen Mo looked at her with deep affection and said, "Since Her Majesty doesn't like , can you at least give a chance to pursue you?"
His unwavering gaze locked onto Queen dusa's phoenix-like eyes, as gentle and deep as water.
A blush crept across her cold and elegant face.
For so reason, whenever Chen Mo looked at her like this, she felt unexplainably nervous. She quickly turned away and replied coldly:
"No. Don't waste your ti. I'll never fall for you."
But her eyes were clearly avoiding his.
Suddenly, Chen Mo reached out and gently placed his hand on the right side of her face, guiding her to face him directly.
Her body stiffened instantly, her mind thrown into chaos. Just as she took a deep breath and prepared to cut things off decisively—
Chen Mo continued, "Your Majesty, my feelings for you are sincere. Heaven and earth can bear witness. Since you say you won't fall for , then just give three months. Let pursue you. If, after that, you still don't love , I'll never ntion it again."
"Well?" he asked again, seriously.
Hearing that, Queen dusa hesitated. Logic told her to refuse firmly, to give him no chance at all.
But a voice inside her whispered: If you truly don't like him, what harm is there in giving him a chance? In three months, it'll all be over anyway.
She found herself leaning toward that voice.
Seeing her silent and conflicted, Chen Mo thought, Should I push a bit more?
So he said, "Are you saying you won't even give a chance? If that's the case, I'll leave. You'll never see again."
With that, he turned away, looking heartbroken.
This ti, it was Queen dusa's turn to panic. She grabbed his hand and said:
"Fine. I'll give you a chance to pursue ."
"Great!" The sorrow vanished from Chen Mo's face, replaced by pure joy and excitent.
"But you said it yourself—three months. If I still don't... like you by then, you must never bring this up again."
Perhaps due to the nature of Chen Mo's confession, she stumbled awkwardly when she said the words "like you."
"I, Chen Mo, keep my word. If I lie, I'm a dog."
He barked in his mind for good asure, then added, "In that case, you can accept the Huangji Pill now—as a token of gratitude for saving your life."
Chen Mo placed the pill inside a jade bottle and offered it to her again.
"If it's just to repay a life-saving debt... then I'll accept it," she said, taking the pill and storing it in her spatial ring. But a mont later, she frowned and added:
"During this 'pursuit' of yours, you are not allowed to lay a hand on , and you definitely cannot sneak a kiss."
By the ti she finished her sentence, her voice had grown quieter, and her cheeks had turned bright red.
"And what if you steal a kiss from , Your Majesty?" Chen Mo teased.
"Impossible." Queen dusa's usual cold deanor returned instantly.
"Alright, fair enough."
Chen Mo sighed, then suddenly changed his tone: "Before that, can I ask for one request?"
Her eyes narrowed slightly. "What request?"
"Let kiss you!"
He blurted it out so fast, the words were practically one.
Hearing this, Queen dusa's eyes widened in shock. Yet, beneath her embarrassnt and anger, an unfamiliar feeling stirred deep inside.
"You—you're being outrageous!" she snapped, her face flushed.
He was getting bolder by the day.
Now he even dared say such things to her face.
"Just one kiss. One. Just a touch."
Since Queen dusa was still holding onto one of his hands, Chen Mo boldly wrapped his other arm around her slender waist.
Her body stiffened again. Watching him lean in closer, her voice trembled:
"You—if you—"
"Mmph—"
Before she could finish, her words were blocked.
Chen Mo tightened his grip around her soft waist and kissed her.
It was only a gentle kiss.
Due to how sudden it was, Queen dusa froze in shock. Her mind went blank. This felt completely different from his previous sneak kisses.
She didn't know how to resist. All she could do was let out muffled sounds of protest.
It wasn't until she snapped back to her senses, ready to gather her Dou Qi and blow him away—
Slap!
A crisp sound echoed, and her Dou Qi defenses instantly collapsed.
Ding! Favorability 1. You've received 2 Favorability Coins. Triggered Kiss Bonus—Reward: Heaven-Tier Basic Dou Technique - Great Sage Art.
And then—
Boom!
Chen Mo was sent flying across the hall, crashing into the wall at the far end. The wall couldn't withstand the force and caved in from the impact.
Stuck in the wall, he coughed up blood.
"Damn... went too far."
Queen dusa stood frozen, her face crimson. Her once-rosy lips were now pale from the prolonged kiss. Her narrow phoenix eyes were filled with icy fury as she glared at Chen Mo.
"If you ever try that again, I'll kill you."
With those words, a pair of flaming red wings spread from her back. With a powerful flap, she flew out through the window.
Fled might've been a more accurate word.
"Wait—my Green Lotus Core Fla!"
Chen Mo shouted, but she was already gone.
"Cough..."
He pulled himself out of the wall, took out a Healing Pill from his spatial ring, and swallowed it.
Then he retrieved the Great Sage Art to examine it.
A flood of mories surged into his mind.
What is a Great Sage?
One with imnse divine power—supre beings among the beast race were known as Great Sages.
The Great Sage Art was the foundation technique of the Great Sage Demon Art, split into five levels.
After reading through it, Chen Mo realized it was a secret technique that could enhance his strength—similar in effect to the Three Mysterious Fla Changes.
The difference was, the Great Sage Art enhanced power by transforming the body into that of a demon beast.
