" Haaah... My Lord... " she murmured weakly. " I am broken... But I want more... Whenever you want... I am your Elder-whore now... "
BaiShe slowly caressed her back, a satisfied smile on his lips.
" Good. Tomorrow, you will help consolidate my position in front of the other Elders. And tonight... you stay here. I am not done with you. "
Yunru nodded, her eyes half-closed, a submissive smile on her lips.
" Yes... Anything you command... Ahhn... "
While BaiShe was enjoying herself with the elder Yunru, showering him with all sorts of treats that made him forget, for a few hours, all his machinations...
* Nether Dynasty... Palace of Shadows.*
Inside the Palace of Shadows, a layer of pure Yin Qi wrapped around the obsidian columns. In her private chamber, Xue Ming sat on a jade pedestal. The youngest princess of the dynasty, whose lethal beauty made courtiers tremble, wore a black silk robe so thin that it seed like nothing more than a shadow caressing her alabaster skin.
Her long dark purple hair cascaded in waves over her shoulders, framing a face whose jade pallor was accentuated by the gleam of her athyst eyes. The transparent fabric molded her generous curves, highlighting her opulent and firm breasts that rose with the rhythm of a calm breath. Around her, several crows with shining violet eyes were perched on statues observing her in a deathly silence.
A shadow guard, whose silhouette almost blended with the darkness of the room, suddenly knelt before the pedestal.
" Mistress... " he began, his voice low and respectful. " The reports from the Upper Realms have arrived. Concerning your fiancé, the Young Master Xuan BaiShe... "
Xue Ming slowly opened her eyes, her violet pupils vibrating with a predatory gleam of interest.
" Speak, " she ordered, her voice a cold lody.
" Lord BaiShe has officially manifested the will of the Heavenly Dao, Mistress. He has been designated as the new Dao Executor. The news is currently shaking all the great sects. The Dao Temple has escorted him with honors, considering him as the sacred chosen one destined to purge the threat of the Devourer. "
A cold and possessive smile stretched Ming’er’s plump lips. She knew that BaiShe had probably usurped this position, once again playing with the threads of destiny.
’ He has probably killed the real one... As expected of my husband."
" The new Dao Executor... " she murmured to herself. Then, fixing the guard with a piercing gaze, she added: " Tell sothing I do not know. "
The guard paused, feeling the princess’s spiritual pressure increase. " The Ancient Ruins... the seals protecting them are beginning to crumble. They are about to open, Mistress. "
Xue Ming nodded, a pensive expression darkening her magnificent features. ’ Even though it was even earlier than in my mories... ’ she thought, her mories of the "ga" or the original tiline being slightly shifted by her lover’s regression.
The opening of these ruins, vestiges of the Era of Origins, represented an unprecedented opportunity.
" The opening of the ancient ruins will be a great chance to maximize our power, " she declared in a monotone voice, her fingers absentmindedly caressing the head of a crow that had co to perch on her knee. " There will undoubtedly be many relics from the Origin races.. and especially powerful natives capable of offering us forgotten techniques. I should at least be an Overlord by then, because the demonic clans and the orthodoxies will also be involved. No one will stand in my way. "
She remained silent for a mont, her gaze lost in the shadows of the room. Seeing that the man was still present, motionless and with his head lowered, she narrowed her violet eyes.
" Do you still have sothing to tell ? "
The man remained silent for a mont, his face tense with indecision. Finally, he confessed in an almost inaudible voice: " I heard a rumor... I do not know if it is true, Mistress. "
" About what? " cut Ming’er, her shadow Qi beginning to stir nervously around her.
" Well... I heard that... well your fiancé... " stamred the guard, fearing for his life.
" What did BaiShe do? " she asked, her voice dropping an octave.
" They say that the young master Xuan is very close to Elder Xia Fei... " he finally let out.
Ming’er froze. The silence in the room beca so heavy that it could have been heard vibrating. She knew that na, but it had not happened at all in her mories.
" Xia? A mber of the immortal Xia family? "
" That is correct... the sister of Patriarch Xia. She is one of the leading figures of the Supre Dao Sect."
Xue Ming let out a brief laugh, devoid of any joy, that resonated lugubriously.
" I see... An old woman is prowling around my husband... " she said with an icy calm that fooled no one about the fury boiling inside her. She made a brusque gesture with her hand. " You may go. "
The guard did not need to be told twice and disappeared instantly into the shadows of the hallway.
Leaving only silence in the room, Xue Ming rose from her pedestal. She headed toward the window, observing the sky of the Nether Dynasty.
" Ah... BaiShe... " she murmured while clenching her fists, her nails sinking into her palms. " You only think about yourself... while I am killing myself to help you by preparing everything for your reign, you find the ti to cheat on with a whore? "
She already imagined the Young Master Xuan having fun with won from an orthodox sect while she managed the political intrigues and the power of the dynasty to ensure their future.
" ... you really need a good lesson. "
’ You think you can spread yourself around, my love? ’ she thought while summoning her crows. ’ But I will bring you back to reason, even if I have to break your limbs to make sure you only look at . ’
"Sent a ssenger to the Queen of Hearts... I need so strong hands; I should eliminate so troubleso individuals in the Ancient Ruins," she said... as crows flew past the window.
