BTTH: Starting from Capturing the Goddess Chapter 67 - 70: Vice Commander of the Royal Palace Guards

"Your Majesty, can I kiss you?"

The mont those words reached Queen dusa's ears, the warmth in her gaze vanished. Her eyes turned cold as she said icily:

"Human, do you want this queen to kill you?"

At this point, Chen Mo's courage had reached absurd levels. He replied:

"If I can steal just one kiss, even if Your Majesty beats to death, I'll die without regrets."

Queen dusa: "...Then this queen shall grant your wish."

Her tone was flat, but the killing intent was sharp and undeniable.

Just as she was about to make her move—

Chen Mo suddenly bit her earlobe.

Queen dusa's ears were delicate and petite. Her earlobes were especially cute—small, refined, round, and a rosy pink against her snowy white skin.

As Queen dusa's phoenix eyes glead with murderous intent, Chen Mo stared at her translucent right earlobe, eyes nearly glowing green.

Absolutely irresistible.

As soon as Queen dusa answered him, Chen Mo's mind plunged into a battle of life and death.

Should I? Or shouldn't I?

It was a matter of survival.

But teetering on the edge of death, Chen Mo chose to risk it.

He might not die... but he'd definitely get beaten into a pig by Queen dusa's wrath.

But hey—if I die under a peony, I'll still be a happy ghost.

Screw it. Let's go.

But what happened next took him completely by surprise.

Because suddenly, the soft figure in his arms went limp.

Chen Mo froze.

He'd accidentally discovered a big secret about Queen dusa.

Sothing was definitely off.

But the limpness only lasted a mont.

Because very soon, he felt a chilling aura envelop him.

It was as if his body had been plunged into an icy abyss.

He could sense death creeping closer.

And then, right at the brink of that death—

Chen Mo made things even worse.

The hand resting on her toned lower abdon began to slowly creep upward.

Closer... closer...

Perfect. Within striking range.

Then—a quick, precise, gentle squeeze.

Wahoo. Takeoff!

"Human..."

Queen dusa snapped.

She completely lost it.

"Don't—ugh—too rough—!"

"Aahhh!"

"Y-Your Majesty—please—not the face!"

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Queen dusa blasted Chen Mo off the bed, then unleashed a flurry of punches straight to his face.

One incense stick of ti later—

Chen Mo's face was completely bruised and swollen.

His speech was slurred and incomprehensible.

She had not held back.

Still, Queen dusa wasn't heartless. She prepared a wooden tub and filled it with dicinal water for him to soak in.

For Chen Mo, these were minor injuries.

Queen dusa narrowed her eyes as she watched him slowly raise his hand to his nose, sniff it, and say with a smirk:

"Slls nice~"

She could no longer hold it in. The proud curves constrained by her bustier were practically about to explode with rage.

Queen dusa turned away and smashed her fist down.

Chen Mo passed out.

That all-too-familiar sensation...

—

When Chen Mo woke up, it was already night.

He found himself back on the bed.

He grinned—until the pain flared up across his face, making him suck in a sharp breath.

He pulled out a bronze mirror from his storage ring and took a look.

"Holy sh—who's this pig?"

So damn ugly.

He quickly pulled out so bruising and swelling ointnt, poured it into his hands, and began rubbing it into his face with force.

"AAAHHH—!"

His agonized cries echoed through the bedchamber.

After finishing his self-torture, Chen Mo opened his status panel:

[Na: Chen Mo]

In his inventory: Four sticks of Epiphany Incense, and a Tier-4, Three-Stripe Clarity Pill.

Chen Mo pulled out the Clarity Pill.

It was the size of a dragon's eye, erald in color, radiating strong dicinal fragrance. Three stripes spiraled around the pill.

Its effect: To help a Dou Shi break through to Da Dou Shi. For Da Dou Shi, it offered a chance to advance one star—with zero side effects.

Chen Mo didn't take it. He placed it in a jade bottle and put it away.

He had advanced too quickly lately, and pushing further might destabilize his foundation.

He decided to heal fully and let his strength stabilize before making another breakthrough.

After replenishing his Dou Qi—

Chen Mo summoned his alchemy cauldron, planning to refine Serpent Spirit Pills.

He had promised Queen dusa, after all. Maybe this would help increase her favorability again.

More importantly, refining pills improved his alchemy skills and soul power.

—

The night passed.

Queen dusa didn't return that evening.

By the next morning—

Chen Mo had finished refining two full jade bottles of Serpent Spirit Pills.

Just as he put away the cauldron and withdrew his Heavenly Fla—

Queen dusa walked in, her hips swaying.

Chen Mo greeted her and handed her the jade bottles.

"Your Majesty, these Serpent Spirit Pills were refined from the Serpent Spirit Grass I picked in the Magic Beast Forest the other day."

Queen dusa froze.

Before entering the bedchamber, she had planned to ignore him completely to show her displeasure about what had happened yesterday.

But seeing the pills, she couldn't help but ask:

"You stayed up all night... just to make these?"

Chen Mo nodded. "Didn't I promise Your Majesty I would?"

[Ding! Favorability 1. You gained 2 Favorability Coins.]

Queen dusa felt a trace of warmth in her heart. She took the jade bottles and stored them in her ring. Her face, however, remained composed and cool:

"This queen has decided to appoint you as Vice Commander of the Royal Palace Guards."

Chen Mo nodded. He figured it didn't matter much—it sounded like a position where he could slack off.

But Queen dusa seed to sense what he was thinking.

"You're expected to patrol diligently inside and outside the palace. This wasn't easy for to arrange. Don't let down this queen's trust."

She had brought it up the day before in the high council of the serpent race.

As expected, she was t with fierce opposition from the Three Elders and Eight Tribe Leaders.

Only Baru supported her.

They argued that letting a human hold such a key position was a threat to the queen's safety—and that no human had ever been given such a role before.

But Queen dusa had crushed all opposition with a firm declaration:

"If any of you object, defeat him in single combat. If you win, I'll revoke the appointnt."
