Chapter 249: Backstab Avril, Life Mark, Gift of the Gods
"Who is he?"
The Moon Princess was taken aback. It was clearly their first meeting, but somehow, a strange feeling stirred within her heart.
Back then, while diligently engaged in Cultivation with Chu Yi, he had used a gray mist to conceal himself, blocking external perception. Consequently, she hadn't recognized Chu Yi's true appearance, only perceiving him as elegant and handsome.
For a long moment, as if recalling a memory, the Moon Princess's delicate body trembled, her bright purple eyes brimming with a touch of bewilderment.
A light pink flush spread across her fair, jade-like cheeks. Her rosy lips, slightly parted and looking especially tempting, exhaled the sweet scent of jasmine.
She was surrounded by holy moonlight, serene and bright, which further highlighted her enchanting allure. Her skin was like creamy jade, her complexion like rosy dawn, her grace and beauty like a Fairy descended to the mortal realm.
The next moment, a trace of purple haze flashed across her brow, manifesting as a purple lotus.
The Moon Princess's demeanor turned cold. Her long, thick lashes fluttered like falling snowflakes as she cast a glance at Chu Yi.
She had come to find her fiancé to return his authority.
But he had already collected the Nether Secret Realm and disappeared; she had arrived a step too late.
However, this young man must have some lingering connection with him. I must find an opportunity to get close and force out his secrets.
"The White Tower welcomes the Moon Princess's arrival. Your Highness, this way, please."
Innos put on a fawning expression, trying to curry favor. This Princess of the Dark Night Realm was a potential future consort of a pillar-level elder deity, her potential no less than that of the Succubus Princess.
Before the Moon Princess could respond, from the White Bone Hall, upheld by countless dark clouds, eight mountain-sized, decaying hands emerged. They were accompanied by chaotic, noisy whispers and carried a heaven-rending curse as they struck toward the Moon Princess's palace.
BANG!
The blow stirred a frenzied, chaotic air current, unleashing an eighteenth-level hurricane. Countless Ghost Lanterns bobbed up and down, and a few corners of the ornate palace were shattered.
Having been ambushed, the Moon Princess recognized it as the Succubus Princess's treasure carriage. Refusing to take this lying down, the waning crescent moon at her palace's peak dissolved like a pool of blood. Tendrils writhed, and countless eyes, peering into truth, emerged from it, shooting out rays of annihilation.
Their battle left everyone in a daze.
「...」
On a dense land interwoven with vines, Chu Yi looked at the unconscious Dragon Maiden lying amidst a patch of Wind Chime Flowers.
Her dark green hair spread across the bed like a layer of clouds in the sky, yet it couldn't hide her alluring curves. Her snowy skin, contrasted by her hair, gleamed like moonlight on white snow. Her rosy, tender lips moved subtly, shining as if she were tasting desserts.
Truth be told, her body proportions are even more astonishing than Jiang Qiuyun's.
Once the Divine War ends, we'll go our separate ways, owing nothing to each other, Chu Yi thought as he supported her and gave her a healing potion.
With one hand around her soft waist, he used two fingers of the other to part the Dragon Maiden's tender lips. He noted their softness as he personally fed her.
After he finished feeding her, the potion quickly took effect.
COUGH...
Mu Yun's lashes fluttered slightly. She coughed and instinctively bit Chu Yi's finger.
Chu Yi was speechless. A soft yet firm sensation came from his finger, which she finally released after what felt like a long time.
Listening to Mu Yun's steady breathing, it seemed she was alright.
Just then, William approached, handing over a Blood Race healing elixir and smiling broadly. "That last battle was really hard on you. Here, this is the Magic Potion Ms. Avril instructed me to give you; it can suppress any curse."
In their minds, Chu Yi's Demon Halberd was a Blessed Weapon.
The greater its destructive power, the stronger the curse it unleashed.
Therefore, seeing Chu Yi fight so desperately and willingly serve as Avril's Knight, the Blood Race members had genuinely accepted him.
"Welcome to the team, Knight Chu Yi."
"As a Blood... oh, a human, to defeat the Child of Gold, you truly are great."
"At the time, I thought Ms. Avril had misjudged. It turns out I was short-sighted. Please forgive my offense, Knight Chu Yi."
"..."
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that with Chu Yi's record of killing Albert, should he join the Morgan family and become one of their kinsmen, his status would soar.
Chu Yi nodded, meeting the reverent and admiring gazes of the Blood Race members, then looked toward Avril.
That card was engraved with the mark of a goblet and a snake, the emblem of the Morgan family—the Snake of Greed.
At this moment, the card housed the Furnace of Life. It burst with a chaotic, twilight-colored light, and the frenzied air current lifted the Blood Race loli's silken black hair. Her slightly childlike face shimmered with a halo.
And just then, while holding the Dragon Maiden in his arms, Chu Yi's dark eyes flashed with lightning.
My apologies, Ms. Avril, but those not of our kin are bound to have different hearts. Taste my backstab!
BOOM!
The void shattered. The arriving power was so immense that it even distorted the twilight colors on the card.
Jiuying, long dormant and summoned by Chu Yi, had arrived!
"Bizarre?"
Avril didn't show the panic of a little girl. Behind her, the void ripped open, and a hefty teddy bear walked out.
This teddy bear instantly swelled, tearing apart its outer disguise. It transformed into a giant, revealing a ferocious and terrifying visage as it threw a punch across the distance.
BOOM!
A series of bell chimes rang out, nullifying the punch. The darkness stirred, revealing the assailant's figure.
She wore a vibrant rose-red dress that clung to her exquisite, full figure. Upon her snowy, jade-like neck, however, were nine beautiful heads stacked together, each with unique features and devastating beauty.
