The young man sniffed the sweet fragrance emanating from the female, akin to the subtle scent of orchids, not overwhelming but gently captivating.
The closer he got, the more intoxicating the aroma beca, drawing out the most primitive desires from the male’s heart, breaking even the strongest self-control.
He couldn’t help but lower his head into her neck, her collarbone, and even further down... This temptation was as alluring as poppies, making it hard to suppress the impulse.
The longer it went, the harder it was to let go.
In the past, he didn’t understand what kind of Enchanting Soup that fool had drunk, why he was so obsessed with a foreign female, even willing to sacrifice his life for her, so utterly foolish.
Tonight, he seed to understand a bit.
Looking at the alluring face of the female in his arms, the young man had to admit: she was indeed beautiful and enticing, hard for any normal male to resist.
Even he would have innate desires arise.
But no matter how beautiful and enticing, she was nothing more than a vulgar plaything.
There are too many beautiful females in the world. She is unique, but not the only one, and certainly not irreplaceable.
Once she poses a threat to him in the future, she must be eliminated imdiately.
The infatuation in the young man’s eyes gradually dissipated, turning into cold murderous intent, as his hand slowly tightened around the female’s slender neck.
Just a bit more, and his sharp nails would pierce her artery, killing her on the spot!
To prevent future troubles, killing her tonight is the best choice.
What a pity...
A trace of hesitation flashed in the depths of the young man’s deep blue eyes.
Oh well, as long as she doesn’t cause trouble, it’s fine to keep her as a female attendant in the future.
He slowly loosened his grip, his sharp nails and scales gradually receding, a wisp of faint blue spiritual power emanating from his fingertips, entering the female’s brow.
His voice was unsettlingly gentle, "Good Tangtang, you’re too tired, have a good sleep..."
The sleeping female lightly knitted her brows, displaying fear as if having a nightmare.
But soon, her tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, her expression becoming serene and tranquil, sleeping more sweetly and deeply, as if experiencing an unforgettable dream.
The young man took one last look at her, changed his clothes, and quietly left the palace.
...
[Host, it’s bad! Wake up! Sothing terrible happened!]
Shen Tang seemingly had a long dream, suddenly woken by the heart-wrenching crowing in her mind.
She abruptly sat up from the bed, her face pale, sweating coldly, feeling weak and limp as if just pulled from an abyss.
Turning her head to look at the empty bedding beside her, the person had already left, and the bedding had long since cooled.
Uncertain when Jia Lan left, without even telling her.
Shen Tang instinctively looked towards the window, only to rember she was in the deep sea, unable to discern the ti.
Shen Tang held her sweating forehead and asked in her mind, "System?... You’re back? Why did you wake so slowly this ti?"
Last ti the system was also shielded, but it recovered shortly after.
This ti she vaguely felt it had been a long while.
The system rushed to explain, [Under normal circumstances, I should have recovered long ago! But soone forcibly interfered using spiritual power, making dormant... Sob sob sob, host you don’t know how many points I used to successfully wake up!]
Shen Tang was stunned, suddenly thinking, "Spiritual power... Wait, how long was I asleep?"
[The host has been asleep for three days.]
"What?!" Shen Tang ssed up her hair, almost screaming out.
She just slept for a nap, but three days had passed?!
The system explained, [Both the host and I were interfered with by external spiritual power, that power was extrely strong, even surpassing the host, thus successfully affecting you.]
A thought flashed in Shen Tang’s mind, her face instantly turning deathly pale, suddenly understanding everything.
"It was Jia Lan who did it!" She said this with lips bloodless, trembling slightly.
Most of those possessing Advanced Spiritual Power in this world are females.
Because they need to comfort males, females have evolved stronger spiritual power, but there are also so Beastman males with spiritual power.
Among them, the rmaid Clan possesses extrely strong primary attack system spiritual power.
And those whose spiritual power can surpass Shen Tang, perhaps only the current "Jia Lan"!
Why would he do this?
No, more accurately—why would "he" do this?
Shen Tang quickly opened the system panel, her mood instantly falling into despair. It was just as she expected, Jia Lan’s affinity had turned into [Unknown].
Now occupying that body, it was not the Jia Lan she knew, but another personality—the future tyrant Sea Emperor from the original work!
At this mont, Shen Tang finally understood why everything felt strange previously.
But unfortunately, she discovered it too late, that "Jia Lan" was too well disguised, though she sotis felt sothing was odd, she didn’t have any evidence and wouldn’t deliberately suspect in that direction... Perhaps since the experint base when Jia Lan’s strength surged and surpassed the Primordial Beast, he had already swapped personalities.
But "he" has been pretending to be Jia Lan, what is he actually trying to do?
Surely with another plot!
The system suddenly sounded an ergency alert in her mind,
[Beep! Ergency mission triggered: Sea Country Emperor Jialouluo is about to face mortal danger, host please rescue imdiately! Mission duration: 60 seconds, reward: Skill Book×1, ten thousand points!]
[Countdown 59, 58, 57... 55, host please act fast! Task will expire if overdue!]
At this mont, Shen Tang finally understood that the future rmaid tyrant disguised as Jia Lan was to deceive Jialouluo and gain her trust, smoothly obtaining Sea Country inheritance rights.
Once he gets the inheritance qualification, he would then secretly assassinate Jialouluo, logically ascending the throne!
The Sea Country Palace is heavily guarded, but he and the Emperor are biological mother and son, finding an opportunity to act couldn’t be easier.
As it turns out, in the original work it was indeed Jia Lan who killed the Empress—but it was another personality that acted!
Shen Tang had no ti to think more, imdiately ordered the system to teleport!
Inside the study.
Jia Lan’s right hand transford into claws, directly penetrating Jialouluo’s chest.
"Ugh!" Jialouluo spat blood and fell, looking at the familiar yet strange son in disbelief, lips trembling, "Lan’er... you... why..."
She couldn’t understand, just today the ceremony was held, she announced Jia Lan’s status as the heir to the entire Sea Country.
But tonight, Jia Lan said he had matters to see her alone in the study, unexpectedly what awaited was this mortal blow.
He actually ca to kill her?!
Jialouluo looked at the son she raised from childhood, repeatedly muttering, asking why.
She didn’t understand why Jia Lan would kill her?
Could it be soone was impersonating him? But as a mother, she was most sensitive to her child’s aura, the person before her was undeniably Jia Lan... yet why did he seem to suddenly change?
"Mother, you’re already useless. Things that are in the way should step down early."
Jia Lan looked at the Emperor before him, his azure eyes cold and indifferent, without a trace of the warmth seen in dayti.
His hand penetrated further, thoroughly piercing Jialouluo’s chest, blood gurgling down his arm, dripping to the ground.
He leaned over to whisper in her ear,
"How you treated back then, now returned in full."
"My dear Empress Mother."
