Chapter 225: The Magic Ritual in the Underground Cave

Sisters bickering?

And it even involves some biased old geezer!

A teacher? The sisters' parents? How exactly is he biased?

Xie Yaoyao's soul of gossip is burning fiercely.

"The old geezer gave his final chance for a First Embrace to you, but look, I will eventually snatch this bloodline back from your hands. It was meant to be mine all along; I am a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times more diligent than you!"

By the time the new Queen finished speaking, that beautiful and charming face had become entirely twisted and ferocious.

"My dear sister, do you know how excited I was when I found out you had become Queen? This finally gave me the opportunity, using the greed and stupidity of these people!"

The new Queen's face shifted from ferocious and terrifying back to smugness, which left Xie Yaoyao filled with admiration; this was the person with the best control over their facial muscles he had ever seen, bar none.

"I really didn't expect that after all these years, you still hadn't told His Majesty the King about your identity as a member of the Blood Clan. Heh, my dear sister, you understand men far too little!"

The smugness immediately shifted into faint mockery; the villain who is about to succeed always loves to ramble on, even if the opponent is already unconscious.

"He was even willing to use his most beloved daughter as bait; can you guess how desperate he is for life and power? Haha, and this bunch of idiots, these accomplices are still waiting with bated breath! Tee-hee! I will satisfy them!"

Xie Yaoyao didn't want to hear this woman despise and mock others, and he wasn't even that concerned about their grand plan; he would strike at the most critical moment anyway. Right now, he was just curious about the gossip behind the Queen sisters themselves.

But clearly, the new Queen didn't want to continue talking about those past events that made her angry and looked ugly; she only wanted to enjoy the joy of success now.

After admiring her sister's sleeping face once more, the new Queen turned her head and began to order and direct the black-clad figures to set up the altar.

Item after item, rich in symbolic meaning and spiritual materials, were laid out, and strands of dark power flowed from her fingertips. It was evident that Her Majesty the new Queen already possessed a high level of mastery over the 【Dark Harmony】 ability.

What surprised Xie Yaoyao was that the ritual magic of this new Queen took quite a long time.

'Sigh, it's really troublesome not being able to see the entries. Depriving someone of a bloodline actually requires such long preparation. Travelers are more convenient; as long as you kill the opponent, you can obtain their entries—the pure law of the dark forest, how nice!'

Time slowly passed, and those black-robed figures in the underground cave became increasingly fanatical and excited. Only Xie Yaoyao was getting a bit impatient; he was already seriously considering the possibility of directly killing the woman in front of him to end the plot world.

He thought about it again; it didn't seem possible. Unless he ran out and killed Baixue, then the possibility of ending the plot would be a bit higher!

That didn't seem possible either; the plot had already developed and changed, and it was no longer in that stage of bipolar confrontation.

Oh, how annoying! If all else fails, he would just kill the King, the Queen, Baixue, and all these nobles. That way, he could not only complete the mission but also harvest a large number of entries.

If it came to that... should he just go to the trouble of infecting the entire Star City... with Flesh Plague? That should be quite fast!

Xie Yaoyao was a bit dazed, and strange protrusions resembling vine roots began to appear on the skin hidden beneath his clothes. A faint, elusive floral fragrance began to emanate from Xie Yaoyao's body.

Just as everything was about to happen naturally, Xie Yaoyao's arm suddenly sank, breaking his delusions. When he came back to his senses, his body immediately calmed down, and that faint floral fragrance also vanished without a trace in an instant.

That was close!

Something almost went wrong!

Xie Yaoyao reached out and gently stroked the Little Red Umbrella hanging on his arm, silently thanking Xiao Annie in his heart for the timely reminder.

Although Xie Yaoyao would no longer easily lose control, if the time had been just a little longer, it was estimated that everyone in this underground cave would have mutated into indescribable flesh-and-blood plants.

This would greatly ruin his gaming experience, so Xie Yaoyao decided to follow the main plot line and slowly experience the fun of playing the game.

And then, further understand and align with his own spirit, flesh, and divinity within the game!

Hmm, 'align' is a very good word to use!

Xie Yaoyao secretly gave himself a thumbs up.

Time passed, and the bored Xie Yaoyao simply walked to the side to play games with Xiao Annie.

However, fortunately, the new Queen's ritual magic was finally prepared. Xie Yaoyao immediately stepped forward to observe.

Dark red and pitch-black magic array patterns were embedded together in a contradictory yet harmonious way, surrounding the two altars in the center of the underground cave. Xie Yaoyao didn't understand ritual magic, but he instinctively felt that this magic array had two different functions.

This new Queen is quite impressive.

"His Majesty the King is here!"

The whispering grew louder. Xie Yaoyao looked up and, sure enough, saw the great Aotuo Guowang of the Rhine Kingdom walking into the underground cave with a warm smile.

Especially when he saw Queen Selimu sleeping on one of the altars, this smile became even warmer, even appearing somewhat impatient.

"Ailina, it looks like you have made all the preparations."

Except for Xie Yaoyao, the new Queen was the only one in the room not wearing that hooded cloak, so Aotuo Guowang saw her at a glance.

"Of course, respected His Majesty the King, we have waited too long for this day! Have you prepared yourself to become an immortal?"

The new Queen, whom Aotuo Guowang called Ailina, smiled like a flower, and the words she spoke made His Majesty the King extremely satisfied.

"Of course, my dearest Queen, I have prepared myself! And, I promise, you will be the first person to receive my First Embrace." Aotuo Guowang walked to the altar, his voice steady, but his footsteps betrayed his inner impatience. "And you, my most loyal subjects, you will also share the glory with me—and eternal life!"

His Majesty the King's words instantly raised the atmosphere of the entire underground cave, but years of cultivation still allowed the noble lords to maintain the most basic etiquette.

"Praise you! Great His Majesty the King!"

For this step today, all the nobles had contributed countless energy, manpower, and money; they deserved rewards of equal value.

After exchanging a glance with Queen Ailina, Aotuo Guowang took off his noble robe and lay down on the other altar with an excited expression.

Under Xie Yaoyao's curious gaze, all the nobles in the room, led by Queen Ailina, began to chant the obscure and difficult incantations once again.

With the gradual resonance of the voices, the entire underground cave was immersed in a solemn yet eerie atmosphere.

The runes around the altar and the magic arrays embedded together gradually lit up with a hazy glow.

Black and red intertwined, eerie yet sacred! ===== CHAPTER 226 =====
