Chapter 218: Chapter 90: In the End, I Am Still Your Aunt! (Please Subscribe)_6
He investigated for quite a while.
Cheng Guang reluctantly let go of his hold.
On the Princess of South Ming's body were no obvious restraints or suppression on her meridians; only a lingering, inexplicable aura remained.
That aura gave Cheng Guang a particularly familiar feeling, as if it were emanating from his own Black Cub.
How could Black Cub's scent be on the Queen of the South Ming?
Could it be that his aunt, the Queen, was immobilized because of Black Cub's aura?
A thought arose in Cheng Guang's mind.
He knew Black Cub was a pet awarded by the system, with the word “hell” tagged behind, suggesting that it might originate from the Demonic Race of the Ten-Layered Demon Sea and probably came from the same place as his aunt, the Queen.
Perhaps Black Cub, the foolish dog, actually had a way to deal with the Queen of the South Ming.
Cheng Guang's gaze fell onto Black Cub, who was sound asleep and snoring by his side. He walked over, picked up the cub by its neck, and gently bestowed a few Da Bi Dou slaps on its dog face.
“Wake up.”
Black Cub looked bewildered, slowly opened its eyes, gazing at Cheng Guang with utter puzzlement as it floated in mid-air under his intense scrutiny.
Feeling the strange look in Cheng Guang's eyes, Black Cub's rear felt chillingly cold, its body instantly tensed up as it whimpered, hugged its head, and carefully sized up Cheng Guang.
It had no clue what the Human Race intended to do so early in the morning.
Cheng Guang pointed toward the still Queen of the South Ming and asked, “Was this your doing?”
Cheng Guang observed Black Cub's expression.
Apart from Black Cub, he really couldn't guess who else could wield such a method to suppress the Queen of the South Ming to the point where she dared not move.
Upon hearing Cheng Guang's question, Black Cub subconsciously felt a bit proud.
But with Cheng Guang's face calm like still water, even it, the Hell's Demon Emperor, had a hard time figuring out what was going through Cheng Guang's mind.
For a moment, Black Cub whimpered again, its eyes flickering uncertainly, looking left and right, holding its head, as if pretending that it had nothing to do with any of this.
Seeing Black Cub acting all sly again, Cheng Guang couldn't help but believe even more that it was indeed Black Cub who had tampered with his aunt, the Queen.
Heh.
Well, despite its occasional issues, the system's rewards are invariably remarkable.
A seemingly foolish and simple dog could have such an extraordinary effect.
Cheng Guang marveled inwardly as he casually dropped Black Cub on the ground, his gaze shifted back to the still Queen of the South Ming.
He could not figure out what to do with the Queen.
At that moment, Cheng Guang also remembered the system quest that he had just overlooked.
He stepped into the side room.
With a thought,
“System, claim the reward!”
As the words in Cheng Guang's heart fell, streaks of golden light burst forth before him.
A mysterious and immense aura of dread spread in front of him.
Cheng Guang watched the golden glow, seeing a pair of black stockings slowly materialize within it.
Meanwhile, as Cheng Guang was claiming the system reward,
in the bedroom, Black Cub, which had been listlessly lying on the ground with a pitiful look, felt the aura emerging from the side room as the reward was being claimed and instantly sprang up as if equipped with springs.
It seemed to sense some terrifying entity, its dog eyes widened, and its fur stood on end in alarm.
“What is this aura?”
“Even though it's subtle and lacks destructive power, it carries a supreme, exalted sense.”
Human-like surprise and indecision appeared on Black Cub's face as it stared blankly at the side room.
It seemed lost in thought as if it could see through the walls of the side room and witness the events happening within.
The Queen of the South Ming, however, did not sense anything.
Even though her true self was the Abyss Demon Emperor, she was merely an avatar at the moment and lacked Black Cub's keen perception. To her, Black Cub's reaction seemed very strange.
The creature that had terrified her was now showing the same behavior as she had just before, apparently witnessing some horror.
A matryoshka doll situation?
The Queen of the South Ming pondered.
At the same time, she wasn't concerned with what Black Cub had seen to cause such a reaction; she was filled with nothing but despair.
Although she was only an avatar, she still, to some extent, represented the Abyss Demon Emperor.
In the entire Ten-Layered Demon Sea, the Abyss Demon Emperor was an existence revered by tens of thousands of demons, and outsiders would be punished by having their eyes gouged and bodies dismembered for even daring to glance her way more than necessary, let alone touch her.
But this time.
Far from merely being gazed upon more than usual, her entire body was thoroughly violated by touch.
Aside from no substantive acts being committed, the Queen of the South Ming felt that as an avatar, she was already tainted.
It was precisely because she was far from the Ten-Layered Demon Sea and had not yet synced memories with her true self.
If her true self discovered what had happened here, the Queen of the South Ming dared not imagine the treatment she would receive in her rage.
Not to mention being reabsorbed into her true self.
Based on the understanding of herself, or rather, of the Abyss Demon Emperor, by then, she feared she could be thrown into the Sea of a Million Demons' Flames to be refined without any excess.
An avatar was just an avatar, and even if they were from the same person, there was still a distinction to be made.
The Queen of the South Ming knew that, in a strict sense, she was merely a tool with a portion of her true self's consciousness, existing in a master-servant, subservient relationship with her true self.
Disposable upon use.
If not, should the avatar grow too powerful, its consciousness could replace that of the true self, resulting in the Abyss Demon Emperor changing appearance and personality on a whim.
This was something the Abyss Demon Emperor could not accept.
Thus, a certain distance was maintained between the consciousness of the avatar and the true self.
In the end, she was not the real Abyss Demon Emperor, and her fate would undoubtedly be terrible once the memories synced.
The Abyss Demon Emperor would never allow her dignity to be challenged, and would not tolerate such a disgrace, not even from an avatar.
If she were not the person involved and it was another avatar being treated this way, she would surely be enraged and erase that avatar herself.
With this thought, the Queen of the South Ming felt that her future was bleak.
Even if she accomplished the task set by her true self, took control of the Four Directions Mortal World, and brought back the royal bloodline of the Four Directions Mortal World, she would still die upon returning to the Ten-Layered Demon Sea.
Her true self would send another avatar to take control.
Although there wasn't much difference, the Queen of the South Ming felt she was no longer herself.
The Queen of the South Ming felt conflicted. As she pondered, at this moment, from the side room, the door was pushed open.
She saw a handsome young man holding something that looked like black silk stockings, walking out with slow steps.
At the same time, there was a clicking of the tongue.
“This quality, really can't be faulted.”
“Although it's just an ungraded Different Treasure, the effect…”
“Not simple at all…”
The Queen of the South Ming saw the Town-Nation Duke's Heir with a look of amazement on his face, and then noticed that the Town-Nation Duke's Heir's gaze was directed at her.
She saw his gaze shift downward, landing on her jade legs.
Contained within his eyes was a semblance of ill intent.
The Queen of the South Ming took just one look at the Town-Nation Duke's Heir's eyes and felt the inexplicable meaning within, as if she had been touched by something filthy.
“What do you want to do?”
“I am still your aunt, after all! Don't you dare be too presumptuous!”
The Queen of the South Ming's face paled as she looked at Cheng Guang's face with its eyes full of ill will and the corners of his mouth curled into a meaningful smile.
She only felt that she was about to suffer again.
In her haste, she promptly claimed her identity as the Queen of the South Ming.
After all, she was still Cheng Guang's aunt in public.
Surely Cheng Guang wouldn't be too audacious, would he?
Even if her fate could already be foreseen and it wouldn't be pretty, most likely to be erased directly by her true self, never to merge back into her true self's body.
But the Queen of the South Ming still wanted to struggle a bit at this moment.
Even if she was tainted, she couldn't just give up and resign herself to her fate.
The pride inherent in the Queen of the South Ming forbade such an occurrence.
