CHAPTER 455: CHAPTER 346: THE PATH OF LOVE, THE PATH OF DESIRE_2

"Mother has just gone out, you can stay here for a while. I’ll let you know as soon as she returns."

"Okay, thank you."

Chen Mo replied politely.

"Alright, I’ll go practice my sword skills now. If you need anything, you can find Lilith."

After speaking, the Enchanting Demon Queen ran away.

After witnessing the power Chen Mo displayed, she increasingly felt her own weakness.

The outside world has become more and more dangerous, she must become stronger as soon as possible!

Watching Lilith’s departing figure, Chen Mo was lost in thought.

This Enchanting Demon Queen in front of him seemed a bit off!

Her face almost showed no expression, always having a demeanor of keeping strangers at bay. She was vastly different from the enchanting image he had in mind!

"Dah-dah~! Lilith is back!"

Not long after, the Charming Little Elf returned to the room with several handsome men.

These men pushed carts filled with sumptuous and delicious food.

"Meow~"

The gourmet Moli couldn’t wait any longer.

"Lilith, has your mistress always been this aloof?"

Curious before the meal, Chen Mo asked.

"No! The lady just doesn’t particularly like any man equally. Her father, that is the Empress’s ex-husband, ran away when the lady was just a child. It’s said he fell in love with another Enchanting Demon."

Then, the Charming Little Elf laughed and added,

"Speaking of which, you’re the first man she’s brought back to the castle!"

"I see."

Chen Mo nodded, said nothing more, and began to enjoy the meal.

I have to say, the culinary skills of the chef in the Enchanting Demon Castle are quite average. The beasts who are used to Tuantuan’s meals lost interest after a few bites.

What a disappointment.

"Humph~"

Tuantuan huffed a bit proudly.

What are you thinking!?

Its culinary skills are almost at peak level; there’s no way any random chef’s food can surpass it.

"Can you take us for a walk around the nearby areas?"

After eating, Chen Mo asked.

Chen Mo planned to take a stroll since lighting up travel coordinates requires recording a hundred types of Spiritual Beasts.

"Of course, but for safety’s sake, Lilith can only take you around the city."

The Charming Little Elf replied.

"Is it dangerous outside? Because of those Evil God believers?"

Chen Mo asked, slightly puzzled.

The Dark Moon Demon Queen’s growth is at the totem high level; if she intervened, these Evil God believers shouldn’t have a foothold.

"Not entirely."

Lilith sighed and said,

"A month ago, the entire Enchanting Demon Forest experienced a pink rainfall."

"After this rain, many Spiritual Beasts and even plants and trees in the Enchanting Demon Forest began deforming to some extent. They started losing their sanity and turning into monsters exuding the aura of desire."

"And as long as you come into contact with these deformed lives, you may get contaminated and become a follower of the Desire Evil God. Now, many sisters, especially those on the path of desire, have become followers of the Lord of Joy."

"That’s why the Empress had to issue a prohibition to leave the castle."

The Charming Little Elf explained.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo felt a chill inside.

Undoubtedly, the pink rain heralds the arrival of the Evil God!

Only the Divine Country of the Lord of Joy is close enough to the Spirit Realm to cause such a widespread impact!

It seems now that he crossed over at a much worse time than he anticipated!

At this moment, the Divine Country of the Lord of Joy has already anchored the Spirit Realm! Its projected Desire Mother Tree is likely to arrive very soon!

It could be tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow!

He glanced at the Space-Time Imprint on the back of his hand, and the space-time energy it contained was still almost full, which meant Chen Mo could stay in the current time and space for a long time.

It would be a bit of a loss to return so soon.

"Let’s slip away before the arrival!"

Chen Mo thought to himself.

"This time the Empress went to Azure Dragon Mountain to find the Green Dragon Lord."

Lilith continued.

"Green Dragon Lord?"

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, and a vision of the Azure Dragon he saw a few months ago on Blue Star appeared in his mind.

He wondered if it was the same Azure Dragon.

"The guardian totem of Yan Province humans is the Azure Dragon Venerable, and the Empress went to seek its help."

Sensing the doubt in Chen Mo’s tone, Lilith explained further.

The relationship between the Enchanting Demons in the Enchanting Demon Forest and several nearby human forces was quite good.

There are even many strong Spirit Masters who are husbands to the Enchanting Demons in the castle.

"When the Empress returns, she’ll surely bring us back to our previous lives!"

The Charming Little Elf said with hope sparkling in its eyes, clearly placing absolute trust in the Dark Moon Demon Queen.

"Mm."

Chen Mo nodded and said nothing.

According to future records of the battle, the Enchanting Demon Clan was ultimately defeated, suffering heavy casualties.

If nothing unexpected happens, this scene will replay in this space-time.

He wanted to do something, but he felt powerless.

Facing such top-tier totem-level enemies, even beyond, his current power was far from sufficient.

Walking down the streets of the Enchanting Demon City, a variety of Enchanting Demons of different skin tones strolled around, but the commonality was their alluring figures and striking appearances.

Chen Mo couldn’t look away, really couldn’t!

Throughout his journey, Chen Mo observed that all the Enchanting Demons on the streets were female!

Of course, there were men on the streets, but they were all handsome human Spirit Masters.

Standing next to the Enchanting Demons, they appeared quite dependent, and most of them looked exhausted, obviously drained.

"So the rumors are true, Enchanting Demons really only have females."

Chen Mo mused.

The Enchanting Demons, as a species, have only females, no males. They mainly rely on humans or other humanoid life forms to reproduce.

After feasting his eyes, Chen Mo entered a relatively large store. He planned to purchase some ingredients and resources here to go back and make corresponding culinary creations for a trade with the Enchanting Demon Empress.

The store’s inventory was pretty complete, and Chen Mo quickly found what he needed.

It’s worth mentioning—the store owner Enchanting Demon, seeing Chen Mo’s good looks, offered a 10% discount.

The Enchanting Demons here are obsessed with appearances.

After returning to the Enchanting Demon Castle, Chen Mo began researching new culinary creations, while the other Spiritual Beasts started their training in the Ruins Space.

In the wee hours, Chen Mo glanced at the Entry Handbook but was surprised to find no new entry coins accumulated.

Knowing that after the Entry Handbook levelled up to six, the daily entry challenge changed to a reward of 30 entry coins.

"Could it be that the refresh of the Entry Handbook is based on the original time-space time?"

Chen Mo speculated.

The time locked by the Space-Time Imprint was the second before he fell into the Time Mother River, and if he chose to return now, only a second might have passed in the real world.

"What a pity. If this crossover’s time-space were a time of peace, it could have served as a limited travel opportunity!"

Chen Mo sighed.

Participating in the weekly entry challenge was quite tiring.

Yet, without doing it, he felt like he was missing out.

In the following days, Chen Mo stayed in the Enchanting Demon Castle developing new cuisines.

"The main attribute of the Enchanting Demon Clan is the Spirit element, and enhancing this kind of spiritual power requires absorbing a certain special emotional force."

Chen Mo prepared to create custom culinary dishes specifically tailored to the traits of the Enchanting Demon Clan!

The Enchanting Demon Clan is divided into two major paths, Love and Desire, with little difference in appearance between the two types, the only difference possibly being the Enchanting Demon Pattern on their lower abdomen.

The Enchanting Demon Pattern of the Love path is red, while that of the Desire path is black.

However, the growth methods of the two paths differ greatly.

Enchanting Demons on the Love path need to absorb a type of emotion power called "Loving Sentiment," and this type of emotional power is not limited to romantic love. Family love, friendship, and the bond between Spiritual Beasts and Spirit Masters all fall under the range of this "Loving Sentiment."

However, this "Loving Sentiment" must originate from the Enchanting Demon itself.

"Loving Sentiment" felt by the Enchanting Demon towards other beings or generated towards the Enchanting Demon by other beings can be absorbed, but emotions unrelated to the Enchanting Demon cannot be absorbed.
