Ninian truly thought she was going to die!
There had been several times before when she thought she was going to die!
First torn apart, then burned, and finally drowned!
It was like a small boat in raging waves, at any moment likely to be smashed into pieces.
She had once heard many people say that a woman always has an incomparably deep impression of her first man, one that can never be replaced.
Others had said that if you want to capture a woman’s heart, first capture her body, especially for a woman who cherishes her body.
But no matter what? Even when her reason was being burned away, she still clearly felt the sensation of her body and soul completely merging with Lanling.
This feeling was too wonderful, incomparably wonderful.
It made one almost want to pay any price to obtain it.
It made one almost feel that this was the most beautiful thing in the world, and for this beauty one could abandon everything.
…
I don’t know how much time passed before everything became calm and peaceful!
But her entire body, and her spirit, still seemed to be floating upon the clouds.
Lanling and Ninian were both completely speechless, quietly gazing at the sky.
Then, that feeling of floating as if becoming an immortal gradually settled down. Reason gradually returned, and both body and spirit gradually calmed.
Ninian very much did not want to speak, but still opened her mouth and said, “This changes nothing.”
Lanling nodded, but said nothing.
He made no pleas, spoke no words, just lay there motionless.
“You’re not going to say a single word?” Ninian suddenly said loudly.
Lanling shook his head and said, “I’m also tired of living. Last time I was killed by my lawfully wedded wife, this time I’m killed by you. It’s no big deal.”
The moment these words were spoken, Ninian trembled and said, “What do you mean?”
Lanling opened his eyes wide, gazing at the sky, with no intention of speaking further.
“Why did your wife want to kill you?” Ninian asked.
Lanling did not answer.
“Tell me, why did your wife want to kill you?” Ninian asked again.
Lanling still did not answer, putting on an appearance of having long been tired of living, as if saying, hurry up and do it.
The precious sword was already gone. Ninian discovered a dagger not far from her side, which could still be used to kill Lanling.
And he continued to lie there motionless, with no intention of resisting whatsoever.
Ninian took the dagger, closed her eyes, and tried to cut off Lanling’s head. Several times she was about to bring it down, and finally placed the dagger upon Lanling’s neck.
“I’ll ask you one last time, are you willing to break with Suomo, break with the Foreign Army, and completely throw your lot in with my father?” Ninian asked.
Lanling showed no intention of speaking.
“Don’t blame me.” Ninian said.
Then, the dagger in her hand fiercely slashed down, aimed at Lanling’s great artery.
This woman was indeed ruthless and merciless. Lanling had just saved her life, saved her appearance, and she had even just given her virginity to Lanling.
But merely two hours later, she could move to kill Lanling.
“Psssh…”
The sharp dagger easily cut open the pulse in Lanling’s neck.
Blood spurted out like a fountain, spraying directly onto Ninian’s face.
Lanling still lay there motionless.
The force of the blood spurting was extremely great, almost shooting into her nose, her eyes, and her mouth.
A scalding smell of blood made Ninian tremble violently.
Then, for some unknown reason, her body trembled violently from deep within.
She couldn’t say what the feeling was. It couldn’t be called convulsions, nor could it be called pain. It was simply very uncomfortable.
A very complex feeling, as if some force had suddenly yanked her.
“Clang!” The dagger fell from her hand.
It was as if when Lanling had taken her just now, he had planted some kind of poison within her body, some kind of special energy. This energy had pulled the dagger from Ninian’s hand.
Then, the wound on Lanling’s neck automatically healed, and the blood stopped.
Ninian looked down at her own hand, covered in blood, then looked at the dagger on the ground.
She truly did not know why, just now, there had been a force in her heart that suddenly yanked her, pulling the dagger from her hand.
What did this mean? Could this be the will of the Demon God?
The Demon God, the common faith of the Savage World, the highest faith.
The human kingdoms worshipped the Divine Dragon, while the Savage World worshipped the Demon God.
These two gods were the sources of power for their respective worlds.
In the Savage World, no matter how ignorant or vicious a person was, they dared not offend the will of the Demon God.
She had the intention of picking up the dagger again and cutting off Lanling’s head, because her creed was that anything must give way to interest and principle.
Her father Constantine’s principle for her was that Lanling must break with the Foreign Army, must break with Suomo, or else die. There was absolutely no second path.
But now, it was possible that the Demon God had pulled the dagger from her hand, not allowing her to kill Lanling?
Ninian could abandon everything for the sake of interest and principle, but she could not ignore the will of the Demon God.
She truly could not pick up the dagger again and kill Lanling a third time.
The first time she wanted to chop off Lanling’s head, a Rotting Demon Serpent had appeared to interrupt, and Lanling had nearly given his life to save her.
The second time, she had already cut open Lanling’s neck, yet it was as if some invisible energy had suddenly pulled the dagger from her hand.
Could this merely be coincidence? It was very likely the will of the Demon God.
Did she dare to kill Lanling a third time?
Things do not happen more than three times. And if the first two times were the will of the Demon God, then if she picked up the dagger a third time to kill Lanling, she would completely enrage the Demon God and receive extremely severe punishment.
The punishment of the Demon God was the most terrifying thing in the world, even more terrible than being disfigured.
But if she did not kill Lanling, that would completely violate her creed: Ninian absolutely does not compromise. It is others who compromise.
“What do you want?” Ninian said harshly, “Lanling, what do you want?”
Lanling let out a cold laugh, ignoring her.
Ninian said, “You’ve already slept with me. Hurry up and break with Suomo, hurry up and break with the Foreign Army, and pledge loyalty to me alone.”
Lanling said word by word, “I will not betray my uncle. I will not betray the Foreign Army.”
Ninian said, “The Foreign Army is no longer up to you. My father has already given the order for Du Yan to take command of the Foreign Army.”
“As long as I am alive, it cannot be so. Unless I die, then I can manage nothing.” Lanling said.
“You can stop Du Yan? Don’t make me laugh. What is your martial skill? What is Du Yan’s martial skill?” Nini said with a cold laugh, “Have you broken through to Demon Warrior?”
“No.” Lanling said.
Ninian said, “And Du Yan is already a Four-Star Great Demon Warrior. The difference in cultivation between you and him is like heaven and earth. What do you rely on to stop him?”
“So what? As long as I am alive, there will come a day when I surpass him.” Lanling said.
Ninian’s eyes suddenly brightened. She thought of a way to force the Foreign Army to break apart, without having to risk offending the Demon God.
“Lanling, you don’t want to break with the Foreign Army? Fine, I’ll give you a chance.” Ninian said, “You and Du Yan will duel. If you win, not only can you marry me, but you also won’t need to break with Suomo, nor break with the Foreign Army. And if you lose, then obediently break with the Foreign Army and pledge loyalty to me alone.”
Lanling said with a cold laugh, “Then you’d better just kill me. Right now, ten of me are no match for Du Yan.”
Ninian said, “I’ll give you time.”
Lanling said, “How much time?”
Ninian said, “One month!”
Lanling shook his head and said, “Impossible!”
Ninian said harshly, “Lanling, this is my bottom line!”
After speaking, she directly got up, put on the skirt that Lanling had torn, and walked away without looking back.
After walking several hundred meters, she turned back and said, “Remember, I’m giving you one month. You will duel with Du Yan. If you win, I compromise. If you lose, then you completely compromise!”
Then, Ninian quickened her pace and disappeared from Lanling’s sight!
And Lanling still lay on the ground, gazing at the sky, letting out a long sigh of relief.
Finally, great success! He had been driven to a dead end and then found life!
…
A large part of this plan had been devised through consultation with Second Madam Sisi.
Over the past dozen or so days, Second Madam Sisi had truly been unable to bear it and had come to find him for intimacy twice.
She had explicitly stated that when she was intimate with Lanling, he had planted a very evil and mysterious energy within her body.
This energy made her addicted to Lanling.
And she said that the first time she was intimate with Lanling, in order to protect herself, she had tried to kill Lanling to silence him.
But for some unknown reason, it was as if some energy within her body had suddenly yanked her, halting her action.
Second Madam Sisi found it extremely bizarre, thinking this was merely a coincidence.
Later, she discovered that she seemed to have been poisoned. Every so often, if she did not engage in illicit intimacy with Lanling, her heart would become incomparably hot and empty, as if she were going mad, incomparably painful and uncomfortable. It truly was like an addiction.
Based on this characteristic, Second Madam Sisi and Lanling discussed that if they wanted to change Ninian’s mind, they must first seize her virginity and plant the evil and mysterious energy within her body.
However, Second Madam Sisi said that this sudden yanking energy did exist, but it might not necessarily overcome willpower.
If Ninian was determined to kill Lanling, then this energy might pull the first time, but not necessarily a second time.
And the people of the Savage World most believed in the Demon God, and most dared not offend the Demon God’s will.
So the two of them devised a false Demon God will!
If Ninian tried to kill Lanling twice, and both times was bizarrely and strangely halted, then she would certainly suspect it was the will of the Demon God.
Thus, there was the first time when Ninian was about to chop off Lanling’s head, but a Rotting Demon Serpent appeared to interrupt. This also gave Lanling the opportunity to risk his life to save Ninian, and made Lanling’s possession of Ninian happen naturally, without making Ninian suspect that Lanling had drugged her.
So, how did this Rotting Demon Serpent come?
It was not a creature native to this region at all. It should originally have been tens of thousands of li away!
The answer was, this Rotting Demon Serpent belonged to Second Madam Sisi. It was once one of her pets, and she had more than just this one pet.
These were all top secrets, unknown even to Chieftain Constantine!
But no matter what, this stratagem was flawless and happened naturally!
And in the end, it was a great success!
…
Ninian returned to the Chimera Tribe with her clothes in tatters, riding her horse into the chieftain’s castle. By now, it was almost dark!
When Chieftain Constantine saw Ninian enter alone, he raised his hand high. Once his hand fell, it would be the order to execute Suomo and Dina.
“Nini, how did it go?” Constantine asked.
“Father, come with me.” Ninian said, then she led her father Constantine into a secret room.
“I have already lost my virginity to Lanling.” Ninian’s first sentence gave Constantine a great shock.
His eyes looked Ninian up and down for quite a while, his heart aching as if twisted.
This was the flower of the tribe that he had worked so hard to cultivate, and it had been plucked just like that.
Although that layer of thing could also be restored by evil shamans in the Savage World, and there was no shortage of female shamans. But… this was far too cheap for that scoundrel Lanling.
“What about Lanling? Did he agree to break with Suomo and the Foreign Army?” Constantine asked in a hoarse voice.
“No.” Ninian said.
“Slap…” Constantine delivered a slap across her face.
He had been so confident in this daughter of his. Why had she done something so foolish?
Not only had she failed to make Lanling compromise, but she had lost her own virginity.
Ninian covered her face and said to Constantine, “Father, if you have calmed down, I will tell you everything from beginning to end.”
Next, Ninian narrated everything that had happened.
Especially when she was about to chop off Lanling’s head, a Rotting Demon Serpent had actually appeared.
And when she tried to kill Lanling the second time, it was as if some mysterious energy had suddenly yanked her hand, causing the dagger to fall.
“Father, is this the will of the Demon God?” Ninian said, “Or is it Lanling’s trick?”
Chieftain Constantine said, “Are you certain that was a Rotting Demon Serpent?”
“I am certain.” Ninian said, “It had countless claws. When its mouth was closed, there was only a small hole. But once it opened, half its body split apart, an incomparably huge mouth apparatus with tens of thousands of sharp teeth inside. And the saliva it spat out, and its blood, were both terrifyingly strong acid.”
“Yes, this… this indeed is a Rotting Demon Serpent.” Constantine said, “But… but this is clearly an evil demon beast unique to the northwest. It is absolutely impossible for it to appear here.”
Ninian said, “Could Second Mother know of this creature?”
Her meaning was very clear. Second Madam Sisi was also a type of serpent.
Constantine shook his head and said, “Her desert homeland is even farther from the Rotting Demon Serpent. Although the Rotting Demon Serpent has the character ‘serpent’ in its name, it is not a serpent at all, but rather a tentacle, a parasitic creature of the tentacles of an ancient demon race. It is completely unrelated to the serpent race.”
Ninian said, “You mean that this Rotting Demon Serpent should not appear within several thousand li, so it is very likely that the Demon God in heaven, from tens of thousands of li away, sent this creature through the air to stop my action?”
Constantine did not speak. He dared not be certain.
Ninian said, “Are you certain this is not Lanling’s trick?”
Constantine said, “If he could bring a Rotting Demon Serpent here from tens of thousands of li away, then he wouldn’t have ended up in my tribe.”
Then, Constantine said, “When you tried to kill him the second time, you truly felt some mysterious energy suddenly yank you?”
Ninian nodded and said, “Yes, I had already made up my mind. I was very calm, and had already begun to cut his head. But suddenly, a mysterious energy appeared, as if surging from within my heart, suddenly yanking me.”
Constantine murmured, “This is an ominous person!”
