Chapter 362

Euphemia's heart tightened, but on the surface, she remained calm:

"Yes, Father. In order to successfully approach the target, I had to temporarily accept the monitoring of the observation station."

"Stupid!"

Aiden's anger erupted like a volcano, and the entire territory trembled under this rage.

In the distant Garden of Sorrow, those Blood-Tear Flowers were all withered by the impact of the terrifying pressure:

"How could you allow that decaying old thing to leave a mark on you? This is a pollution of the purity of the bloodline!"

The blood tentacle began to writhe crazily, emitting terrifying energy capable of tearing space:

"I want to clear this damn mark immediately! Clear it completely!"

"Wait! Father! Please calm down and listen to my explanation!"

Euphemia hurriedly stopped him, her voice full of urgency:

"The existence of this mark is actually beneficial to our plan! Really!"

"Beneficial?" Aiden's voice was full of suspicion, "Give me a reason not to clear it immediately!"

Euphemia took a deep breath and began to use the survival skills she had learned since childhood—how to find a glimmer of life in Aiden's rage:

"Think about it, Father..." her tone became sincere:

"If there were no monitoring on me, with Yuteer's personality, which is suspicious to the point of paranoia, he would absolutely not let me approach Luo En. He would treat me as a threat and clear me directly."

She observed Aiden's reaction:

"But now it's different; he thinks he can completely control my actions through this mark.

This will make him lower his guard and create a better opportunity for me to approach."

Aiden's anger subsided slightly, and the spiral in the vertical eye slowed its rotation speed.

His remaining reason began to analyze his daughter's words.

"Continue..." his tone remained dangerous, but at least it was no longer pure murderous intent.

"And, Father..." Euphemia continued, her voice carrying just the right amount of excitement:

"Through this 'cooperation,' I have already obtained an official position at the observation station! This means I can stay by Luo En's side for a long time and have plenty of time to slowly execute the plan!"

This statement made Aiden fall into thought.

From a strategic perspective, long-term lurking is indeed more effective than short-term raids.

Moreover, with Yuteer's cautious personality, without sufficient means of control, he would indeed not let people with suspicious backgrounds move freely.

"What you said... has some truth..."

The Blood King's tone began to soften, but it remained full of warnings:

"But the existence of that mark still makes me feel extremely unhappy... It will limit some of your actions and might even expose our plan at a critical moment..."

"Rest assured, Father."

Euphemia hurriedly reassured him, while secretly rejoicing in her heart that the other party's stupidity was as usual:

"I have already found a way to circumvent the monitoring. By utilizing the characteristics of the mark itself, I can block its perception at certain critical moments."

Her words actually contained a large amount of information manipulation and logical traps.

But for Aiden, whose reason was already incomplete, these plausible reasons seemed very convincing.

"Fine..."

Aiden finally made a decision:

"Retain that mark for now. But remember, once the mission is completed, I will clear it completely. I do not allow any external power to remain on my daughter for a long time."

"I understand completely, Father."

Hearing this decision, Euphemia let out a long sigh of relief in her heart.

If the Blood King had cleared Yuteer's mark now, she would really have had no way back.

"Now, let me prepare some additional assistance for you..."

Aiden began to mobilize deeper power, and the end of the blood tentacle split into several smaller branches:

"Since you are going to execute the mission in that dangerous environment, you need a sufficiently powerful guard..."

From the tentacle, four humanoid figures emerged; they all had perfect female appearances, but their skin presented an unnatural pale white.

There was no personal emotion in their eyes, only absolute obedience to the creator.

These were Aiden's proud works—"Blood Brides," each one a high-level bloodline creation made from carefully selected materials.

"Let them prove their worth..."

Aiden's voice carried cruel anticipation: "Only the strongest one is worthy of becoming your guard..."

After receiving the order, the four Blood Brides immediately entered a combat state.

Their way of fighting was completely different from ordinary blood kin.

No rage, no roars, not even any redundant movements.

Every strike was precise and fatal, every dodge was just right.

Just like four precision killing machines, executing a beautiful and cruel dance of death.

The battle proceeded extremely intensely, but also extremely quietly.

The only sounds were the sound of sharp claws cutting through flesh and blood, and the sound of blood dripping onto the ground.

Finally, a Blood Bride with deep red long hair won the victory.

She immediately began to devour the flesh, blood, and abilities of the loser, and her body underwent significant strengthening during this process.

Her already perfect figure became even more graceful, and her skin emitted a luster like a pearl.

Most importantly, her strength reached the edge of the Moon-Sun level.

"Take this and complete the final evolution."

Euphemia followed Aiden's instructions, took out a small portion of blood dew, and threw it to the evolved Blood Bride.

The blood dew melted upon entering the mouth, and the Blood Bride's aura instantly broke through the boundary of the Morning Star level.

Her beauty became even more soul-stirring; just a single glance could make ordinary people fall instantly.

But beneath this beauty, hidden was a pure killing instinct.

"From now on, you shall be called 'Blood Rose'." Euphemia named her new subordinate:

"You will be my most precious partner and my most reliable guard."

Blood Rose bowed elegantly, her voice like the sound of nature:

"Blood Rose swears to serve the master to the death and fight for your glory."

Just at this moment, an unusual energy fluctuation suddenly came from afar.

Although Aiden's presence was only a projection, the pressure it emitted still disturbed other apostles.

"Mad-Bite" Mo Gelong and "Nightmare Queen" Selina almost simultaneously dispatched subordinates to investigate the situation.

"It seems our little gathering has disturbed some old guys..."

Aiden's tone carried disdain:

"But this is also good; let those old immortals know that I am still alive and have enough power to protect my own interests..."

The blood tentacle began to contract, preparing to disconnect this connection:

"Time is almost up, my daughter... Remember your mission, and remember your identity... Do not let me down..."

"I will never let you down, Father."

With the withdrawal of the Blood King's consciousness, the blood-red portal gradually dissipated.

The Scarlet Palace fell back into dead silence, with only the bloodstains and bones all over the ground recounting the tragedy that had just occurred.

Asmond struggled to climb up from the ground, his eyes full of awe as he looked at Euphemia.

The existence of the curse made it completely impossible for him to generate any thoughts of resistance.

"Lady Euphemia..."

The Blood-Tear Grand Duke's voice became humble, completely devoid of his previous arrogance:

"Do you have any other instructions? I will unconditionally execute any of your orders..."

"Use your special channel to send me back to the third layer."

Euphemia gave the instruction concisely, while thinking about the next plan in her heart:

"Then start rebuilding your territory.

Losing so many blood kin, other apostles will definitely notice the abnormality. You need to recover some strength before they take action."

"As you command, my lady." Asmond nodded respectfully.
