Chapter 1264: Chapter 483: Human Transformation! The Princess Strikes Back!
"Who did you say she was?"
"Chu, Chu Yanli?!"
He Yuzhi had felt she looked familiar but didn’t dare to make the connection. Now, looking closely, her expression froze.
Years ago, when the Princess decided to lead an expedition south to suppress the Barbarian Tribe, it caused an uproar in the Capital City. As she set off, the streets were empty. He Yuzhi had seen her once from afar in the crowd — the appearance of the woman in front of her was exactly the same!
"How could the Princess be in your room, and unconscious...?" He Yuzhi snapped back to reality, a chill running down her spine. "You rebel son, you must have the audacity of a bear and heart of a leopard to dare drug the Princess?!"
"..."
Chen Mo’s mouth twitched slightly. "Mother, what are you talking about? I’m trying to save the dying and heal the wounded..."
"You’re bluffing!"
"Ignoring the Princess’s incredible cultivation, even if her body truly had issues, don’t you think the palace doesn’t have Imperial Physicians? Is it your place to save her?"
"The son-in-law selection hasn’t even started, yet you already think you’re the Prince Consort!"
"If I had come a moment later, a disaster could have brewed! Besides, doing this, aren’t you betraying Zhixia and Qingxuan?"
He Yuzhi felt a gnawing frustration.
She had just been assuring herself that the Prince Consort selection was merely a formality, yet here Chen Mo went, bringing someone back. Wasn’t this rubbing salt into her wound?
Shen Zhixia and Ling Ningzhi stood behind him, with their fingers intertwined, looking at him pitifully.
Chen Mo rubbed his brow, feeling his brain hurt a bit.
Actually, he couldn’t blame them for overthinking; after all, he had attracted too many girls, his reputation spoke for itself, and now no explanation would suffice...
"Forget it, just see for yourself."
Chen Mo simply reached out and unfastened Chu Yanli’s clothing, revealing a large patch of skin, with golden, sharp scales breaking through the skin and growing, stained with fresh blood at the edges.
Upon witnessing this terrifying scene, everyone gasped sharply!
He Yuzhi’s eyes widened in disbelief, "What, what is going on?!"
"I told you, the Princess’s body is indeed having problems, and I’m the only one who can solve it, even if the Imperial Hospital Envoy came, it would be useless." Chen Mo’s palm glimmered with purple light, spreading from the Heart Meridian, and the golden scales began to retreat slowly.
He Yuzhi recognized the severity of the situation, furrowing her brows, "Who else knows that you brought her here?"
The Princess, being the sister of the Emperor, is the only remaining royal family member, and commands two powerful armies, making her one of the most dangerous figures in Great Yuan!
Now, appearing at the Chen Family’s house in the middle of the night was akin to a ticking time bomb.
If anything were truly to go wrong, all of them might end up in a grave!
"Only Miss Lv knows, and she won’t possibly tell anyone." Chen Mo reassured, "Don’t worry, Chu Yanli is now considered the Empress’s ally, and her transformation is very much related to me, so I definitely can’t turn a blind eye."
"Since when did the Empress form an alliance with the royal family?"
"Unless..."
He Yuzhi’s eyes flickered, seemingly having a thought but hesitant to confirm it, she paused and asked, "How confident are you in healing her?"
Chen Mo replied, "Completely."
"Alright." He Yuzhi said seriously, "Then do your best, call me if you need anything, under no circumstances can she be allowed to die in the Chen Family, at least ensure she survives tonight safely."
"I understand." Chen Mo nodded.
He Yuzhi said no more and led the two girls out of the room.
The air quieted, Chen Mo looked down at the pale and serene face, and sighed helplessly.
"Really indebted to you..."
He placed Chu Yanli on the bed, extending his hand to remove her gown and underwear.
The skin once fair was now almost entirely covered in golden scales, with blood gushing out, a sight that was appallingly shocking. The degree of mutation had intensified further compared to inside the Secret Realm.
If relying solely on Purple Dragon Qi for suppression, not only was the effect slow, but it was also hard to fully cure.
To solve this problem fundamentally, there was only one way—
"The so-called ’mutation’ fundamentally results from the incompatibility between the Human Race’s body and Dragon Qi, caused by forced transformation."
"In other words, as long as she becomes part of the ’Dragon Clan’, this issue would naturally be resolved. Since I acquired the Dragon Blood legacy, then Chu Yanli, who holds the Heavenly Decree Seal, should also be capable."
Chen Mo forced a drop of blood from his fingertip to hover silently in the air, red as amber, containing such potent power that the surrounding air appeared to ripple.
Having understood the "Ancient Spirit Constitution" and practiced to the peak of Burning Thunder, the Dragon Blood had fully integrated into his bloodline.
Though not at the "True Dragon" level, it could serve as a carrier for inheritance.
Taking into account Chu Yanli’s current weakened state and limited tolerance, Chen Mo only extracted a faint trace of Dragon Blood for preliminary experimentation.
Under his direction, the blood flew towards Chu Yanli and sank into her body like a sponge absorbing water, rapidly disappearing.
"Ugh!!"
In the next moment, Chu Yanli’s body began to quiver violently.
More and more scales spread across her skin, covering her entirely in an instant, her hands transformed into claws, her forehead bulging as if dragon horns were about to burst forth!
This transformation was within Chen Mo’s expectations.
He placed his palm on her Heart Meridian, channeling the "Ancient Spirit Constitution," suppressing the agitated Heavenly Decree Seal.
"Transmute impurity and shed as a stone fetus, await the grand dream of three thousand autumns, relinquish the shackles of the form, then command thunder in the nine heavens..."
Under the influence of the "Metamorphosis" method, Chu Yanli’s aura stabilized, and simultaneously, Dragon Blood began restructuring her meridians to ensure she could coexist with Dragon Qi.
