Chapter 229: Domesticated Monsters

Ailina's heart was pounding; she was very sure that the moment before she fled, she saw the mountain-sized monster figure deep in the underground cave open its eyes.

This immediately reminded her of the Ghoul King she had cultivated with all her might.

There was no mistake; those corrupted monsters were her ghoul army.

Someone... someone corrupted my trump card!

Ailina immediately thought of Selimu's hateful wild man.

I lost, lost completely.

However, Selimu, don't be smug either; haha, you're even more miserable, eaten clean by that man.

Now that man has obtained Selimu's bloodline power and secretly corrupted my ghoul army, and with the King, that idiot, already dead, haha, it turns out he was the biggest winner... win...

"Selimu?!"

Ailina stopped in disbelief, looking at the noble beauty blocking her escape route.

"How... possible? You weren't already... that man! It was that man, he gave you the First Embrace!"

Looking at her sister who had regained her youth and beauty, Ailina wasn't stupid; she sorted out the cause and effect in an instant.

"Hahaha, proud sister, it turns out you also have a time when you lower your proud head and become a man's vassal!"

Looking at her own sister, whose expression went from surprise, doubt, to sudden realization, and finally to manic laughter, Selimu suddenly felt a sense of clarity about life.

Was I as venomous and manic as her before?

But no matter how clear she felt, that was her understanding of life; she couldn't let go of her enemy at all.

Selimu's eyes instantly turned sharp, and spears condensed from blood shot toward the manic Ailina, pinning her to the ground like a hedgehog in the blink of an eye.

Although these blood-colored spears all avoided vital points, the pain and blood loss alone made Ailina's face pale.

She couldn't resist, and there was no need to resist.

Ailina was willing to admit her failure, just looking at her sister approaching step by step with a mocking gaze.

Selimu's gaze was calm, as if she were chatting casually with her sister during afternoon tea.

"You should know that I was willing to grant you the First Embrace. Why do such a thing, joining forces with outsiders to plot against me!"

"Heh, First Embrace? And then be under your control forever? Selimu, you are always so self-righteous; why should I be beneath you?" Ailina's eyes were still full of mockery. "If I were to grant you the First Embrace, would you agree?"

Ailina's words made Selimu pause slightly, and after asking herself, she immediately got the answer, but Ailina's mocking words before her didn't stop.

"Oh, I forgot! You could! You could accept it! Hahaha, aren't you accepting that pretty boy's First Embrace right now! Hahaha!"

Selimu had originally thought she would be ashamed and angry; this was a complete betrayal of her pride, but in fact, she accepted it very peacefully, without any shame or annoyance.

"Pretty boy? No, he is a powerhouse; a powerhouse deserves to have everything!"

At this moment, Selimu no longer had the desire to chat, and just as she raised her hand to end Ailina's life, she froze involuntarily.

Ailina was laughing and crying at the same time, constantly mocking and cursing her sister Selimu's depravity and shamelessness.

"She... is seeking death!"

Just as Selimu was struggling with the complex emotions of her own sister being unable to accept her plotting against her own sister and failing to be captured, countless screams accompanied by panic came from the end of the passage.

It was that group of Lionheart Guard soldiers!

*Crack! *

A slender, fair palm easily plucked off the beautiful head before her that looked exactly like her own. The annoying curses and mockery stopped immediately, and Selimu saw relief in Ailina's final gaze!

The noisy footsteps and screams stopped abruptly, and all the Lionheart Guard members who had fled back saw Queen Selimu standing in front of the passage, playing with a head that looked exactly like her own.

Such an eerie scene left all the soldiers at a loss, but the group of monsters chasing from behind was a real threat to their lives...

Finally, a captain stood out and said tremblingly: "Que... Queen Majesty, you... you..."

Before the captain could finish his sentence, screams and strange roars came from behind the soldiers, which immediately caused the soldiers who had quieted down to become restless again.

Run, must survive! The Queen is not as important as survival!

After the first soldier gathered the courage to run past the Queen, all the soldiers, unable to suppress their desire for survival, all stepped onto the road of escape again.

"Your Majesty, Queen Majesty! Run quickly, behind... behind there are monsters!"

The captain who stood out first saw Queen Selimu playing with the head and looking curiously behind the passage, so he couldn't help but advise again. At this time, several soldiers were still standing behind this captain; although they were afraid, they still gripped their swords and stood behind Selimu.

Sure enough, their performance, which was completely different from the other fleeing soldiers, attracted Selimu's attention, but she just smiled and turned her gaze back to the corrupted monsters that had already appeared in her line of sight.

These were truly strange and terrifying monsters. To Selimu, they weren't very powerful, but they were indescribable enough to make people feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts.

Hunched like deformed mushrooms, the caps were covered in holes, oozing black slime. The ends of the drooping mycelium were embedded with turbid eyeballs, the head was replaced by a huge agaric, and distorted human faces were embedded between the gills, with cracks revealing sharp teeth. The arms were made of mycelium, covered in sucker-like small mouths.

Each of them was corrupted differently, but generally, they were all this kind of strange, indescribable plant pollution.

Selimu frowned, and blood-colored magic power flashed between her fingers.

What she didn't expect was that those disgusting monsters actually stopped their slaughter after seeing her. Not only that, but they also prostrated themselves on the ground facing her, and even the soldiers being chased could see the monsters' respect for Her Majesty the Queen.

This...

More and more soldiers discovered the monsters' abnormality and stopped one after another.

The entire passage actually fell into an eerie silence again.

Selimu was also bewildered, but it was certainly impossible for her to get close to those disgusting monsters, so...

Blood-colored magic power turned into a crossbow bolt and pierced the head of a monster directly. The mushroom-shaped head, the monster's whole body shook, but there was no sign of any counterattack or going crazy.

"Bang!"

The blood-colored crossbow bolt exploded, blowing the monster's entire mushroom head to smithereens, and even the soldiers behind Selimu were startled.

The monster shook its body and fell to the ground, and the disgusting tissues scattered on the ground were still wriggling and aggregating, looking nauseating.

But even so, those monsters prostrating on the ground still didn't make any move, just obediently prostrating on the ground.

All the soldiers looked at Her Majesty the Queen with strange eyes—could these monsters be... ===== CHAPTER 230 =====
