Chapter 266: The Only Duty

Description

In the evening, a gentle breeze rustled the curtains, and moonlight filtered through the gaps, softly spilling onto the bed, illuminating the silver-haired girl and the light blue loli beside her. The two seemed wrapped in a mysterious halo, looking exceptionally serene and beautiful. Yet beneath that stillness lurked a strange sound—glub glub glub!

Under Guodong’s ferocious assault, her consciousness had already gone completely numb. Bai Yue Ling lay limp on the bed, looking utterly unconscious.

“Uweehee… bah ah bah…”

Come to think of it, in the long ten playthroughs, this was the first time she had explored a brand-new path, and also the first time she experienced the unique traits of a slime girl.

Before, other big sisters would always ask: Do you prefer the middle and index fingers, or the middle and ring fingers? Then Bai Yue Ling would confidently clench her right fist: I want them all! But Guodong never asked such questions, because she was a slime girl—she didn’t use fingers at all… She went all out for real!

And so, Bai Yue Ling suffered an unprecedented heavy impact, feeling like her body wasn’t even hers anymore. The sensation the slime girl brought her was completely different from humans like Ying Ye, Wei Ji, or Silver Tooth—it was more like a dragon girl, and one with nine tails at that… Bai Yue Ling couldn’t even handle a single tail, let alone nine?

Seeing that Bai Yue Ling was completely unconscious, Guodong closed her eyes. An indescribable sense of release made her let out a satisfied sigh.

“Little White, no wonder those women all like you so much. You truly are an excellent queen.”

Guodong’s skin began to squirm slightly, turning cherry blossom pink as she gently enveloped Bai Yue Ling within her body, slowly healing her spirit and flesh.

Within nine minutes, Bai Yue Ling let out a soft moan and groggily regained consciousness.

She stared at the ceiling, still somewhat dazed, having forgotten what had just happened. It wasn’t until Guodong reached out to wipe the drool from the corner of her mouth that the familiar slippery touch made Bai Yue Ling recall everything, and her delicate body trembled like she’d been shocked.

“You… stay away from me! I admit I’m scared, alright!”

Guodong said calmly: “Scared of what? This is work you’ll need to adapt to sooner or later. A queen has only one duty, and that’s to relieve the queen’s fire.”

“Doesn’t that make me a tool?”

“If that’s how you want to understand it, that works too.”

“Guh… No way, I won’t submit!” Bai Yue Ling forced her limp body up, pointing at Guodong with a mix of shame and anger: “Since you can turn into a human form now, you’re not allowed to be clothes anymore!”

Guodong remained unmoved: “That’s not for you to decide.”

But she indeed had no intention of being clothes right now, because she had just finished venting and was in her cooldown period. Bai Yue Ling pulled a little black dress from the wardrobe, turned to look at the bed—which was messy but perfectly dry—and thought that at least she wouldn’t need to change the sheets.

Guodong had one advantage that nobody else possessed: she could absorb liquids. So even after a whole afternoon of exertion, the sheets were still dry… This was also why Mu Yao hadn’t found any water stains on the sofa earlier—because it had been absorbed by Guodong the moment it came out.

Growl~

Her stomach, which hadn’t eaten lunch, protested. Bai Yue Ling gazed at the dim night sky and said helplessly: “Forget it, let me just order some takeout first.”

After just doing intense exercise, she needed to replenish plenty of energy, but there was no way she was dragging her exhausted body to cook. Takeout it was. Bai Yue Ling opened her phone, her finger continuously scrolling down: “What should I eat… I feel like a lot of takeout places use pre-packaged meal kits these days. They don’t taste good and aren’t worth the money.”

“Looking at it that way, an in-home cook is the most reliable after all? Too bad it’s a bit pricey…”

“Forget it, I’ll just have fried chicken.”

Bai Yue Ling placed her order skillfully. While waiting for the delivery, she went over to her computer and browsed the forums for the first time in a while.

Right now, most people on the forum were discussing the dissolution of the Blood Age. People were genuinely shocked—how could this great guild have collapsed in a single day? Quite a few Blood Age members who could only log on at night expressed utter confusion, not knowing what had happened while they were at work.

Bai Yue Ling was also curious about what everyone thought of her, so she clicked into the forum’s gossip roundup thread and learned the full story in detail.

[I’m sure many players who aren’t in the Royal Capital are wondering what happened, so let me, a firsthand witness, explain it all in detail!]

[This operation to overthrow the Blood Age was masterminded by Wine Miss, the vice guild leader of Toast and Sing. She gathered the major guilds of the Royal Capital as the main fighting force, invited Ying Ye, Lie Lie, Gentle Pluck and others to provide support, and finally had Priest Hero deliver the finishing blow, completely defeating Blood Rain.]

[If we’re crediting contributions, Toast and Sing is undoubtedly number one, since the entire operation was planned by Wine Miss alone. Without Wine Miss, there would be no Royal Capital as it is now…]

“Praising Toast and Sing this much… Is this thread starter a paid shill for Toast and Sing or something?”

Bai Yue Ling looked closer and sure enough, the thread had been written by Wine Miss herself. Although she kept elevating herself and Toast and Sing, she also placed Bai Yue Ling in second place, and even gave her a resounding title—”King of the Shadows of the Rose Kingdom”!

“Praise kill. This is definitely a praise kill.”

Bai Yue Ling continued browsing the thread and discovered that all the major guilds were interested in establishing branch guilds in the Royal Capital. So what Mu Yao said wasn’t false—in the next nine days, a large number of new players would flood into the Royal Capital.

For these outsiders, the first task to establish themselves in the Royal Capital was building good relations with the local powers. And among them, who was the most worth befriending? The answer went without saying—the renowned Priest Hero.

While Bai Yue Ling was getting thoroughly wrecked, the name of Priest Hero was steadily growing in influence, already beginning to take on a demonized trend.

Quite a few people believed that top players like Ying Ye, Lie Lie, and Silver Tooth were all Priest Hero’s loyal subordinates; moreover, she maintained extremely close relationships with the princesses of the Rose Kingdom—Third Princess Wei Ji had even once flamboyantly carried her into the Palace; and even the High Priest couldn’t escape her clutches, as rumors that Sistana was actually her biological mother had already begun circulating…

In short, whenever players mentioned the Royal Capital now, they would say: Oh… that’s Priest Hero’s turf, right?

“Looks like your standing is getting higher and higher.” Guodong sat on the edge of the bed swinging her little feet, saying proudly: “As a strong person, you need to get used to this feeling of being the center of attention.”

Bai Yue Ling sighed: “But compared to all this empty fame, I prefer to keep a low profile.”

Just then, the doorbell rang. Bai Yue Ling instinctively stood up, but Guodong hopped off the bed, her two loli legs swinging back and forth: “I’ll get the door.”

Watching Guodong’s retreating figure, Bai Yue Ling froze for a moment, then smiled wryly: “Looks like from now on, this home really does have one more ‘person’ in it.”

She had always lived alone, but now that she saw Guodong in human form, she felt a rare sense of companionship.

On the other side, Guodong shifted her skin to human flesh tones and stood on her tiptoes to open the door. The delivery girl in black stockings and a short skirt saw her and immediately widened her eyes, staring at those two soft, huge watermelons, and said in shock: “Li… little one, do you need to go to the hospital for a checkup?”

Guodong tilted her head adorably, playing cute: “What did you say?”

The delivery girl blinked, only to see Guodong instantly become flat as a board—as if what she had just seen was merely an illusion. The delivery girl wondered to herself in confusion: There’s no way a loli with that kind of figure exists in real life… Yeah, it must be a hallucination from looking at too much lewd art lately.

“Ah… nothing. Here’s your order.”
