Chapter 19: Submission! The Completely Corrupted Holy Maiden

Was this prank just to make her give the Holy Maiden the cold shoulder? To make the Holy Maiden think she wouldn't come back? Emmm... That wasn't completely impossible, was it?

It seemed directed at the Holy Maiden, but in reality, Phyllis had seen that Xing Yue was too merciful to her enemies, so she wanted to teach her a lesson in another way? Xing Yue wasn't sure if her guess was correct, but she still chose to remain silent. Picking up the handkerchief that came with the cake packaging, she crouched down and gently wiped the bloodstains from Wei Anna's lips.

However, to Xing Yue's surprise, Wei Anna, who had been motionless until now, suddenly furrowed her brows, raised her head slightly, and sniffed the air toward Xing Yue.

Then Xing Yue saw the Holy Maiden suddenly shudder all over, and asked incredulously, "This... this scent... Aimici? Is that you? Aimici!"

Not only that, but the Holy Maiden also wriggled, trying to crawl toward Xing Yue while shouting "Aimici!" over and over. To be honest, it was a bit creepy... Xing Yue frowned and withdrew her hand.

Yang Dazhuang made his move, pressing Wei Anna back onto the guillotine: "Stay still!"

Wei Anna was forced to calm down again, but her inner turmoil was far from calm.

Imprisoned in the dungeon with her eyes blindfolded, accompanied by darkness day and night, Wei Anna had long since lost track of how much time had passed. However, when her vision was deprived for so long, her other senses gradually became exceptionally sharp in the silence.

The hand that had just wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth was so gentle, as if afraid of hurting her. Most importantly, when that person moved her sleeve, a faint fragrance wafted over, a scent very familiar to her. It was the unique scent of Aimici! It was Aimici!

The person before her this time was Aimici! There was no mistake! She wasn't dead!

Thank goodness... sob... she wasn't dead... At that moment, Wei Anna felt that all the long tortures she had endured now had meaning. Unfortunately... she still let Aimici see her in such a miserable state...

Aimici must be very worried about her now... It's okay... as long as she lives... As long as she lives, there is hope...

"You delivering food, what are you dawdling for? Her Majesty the Demon King is waiting!" The impatient roar of the demon exploded overhead, accompanied by the sound of a whip cutting through the air.

Wei Anna's heart immediately leaped into her throat, and she struggled to shout, "No!"

Slap--! Fortunately, the sound of the whip falling seemed to have only hit the ground.

Wei Anna quickly turned her head toward the demon and shouted, "Don't touch her! If you want to do anything, do it to me!" In response, the demon only let out a dismissive snort, as if completely ignoring her words.

Wei Anna was unwilling and wanted to say more, but a sweet scent invaded her nostrils. Rich cream, fresh jam, and the fluffy, reassuring malty aroma of freshly baked cake... It was food, and a big meal!

Wei Anna suddenly shuddered again. Today, not only was it Aimici who brought her food, but it was also a feast... Was this supposed to be their last meeting before being sent off with a full stomach? It must be. Since just now, Aimici had been silent. Maybe she had suffered similar torture, and on the way here, she had learned of their final fate.

For a moment, grief overwhelmed her. The cake that "Aimici" had carefully fed into her mouth no longer tasted sweet, leaving only an endless melancholy.

This time, Wei Anna took the initiative to eat very slowly, but Xing Yue was also very patient. As time passed, Xing Yue picked up the last small piece of cake with the small fork and fed it to the Holy Maiden. After wiping her mouth clean with the handkerchief, she prepared to put away the utensils.

Yang Dazhuang's sinister voice came again: "Finished eating? Heh... just in time, it's about time."

Because she had been squatting for a while, her legs were sore, so Xing Yue stood up very slowly. Finally, she staggered, almost losing her balance. To Wei Anna's ears, this movement took on a completely different meaning.

Wei Anna thought "Aimici" was showing fear and reluctance. Yes... She, Wei Anna, had lived long enough. She was indifferent to death and not afraid of it. But Aimici was still so young. Her future held infinite possibilities, yet she had suffered so much torture, and now she faced death...

At this thought, Wei Anna's psychological defenses, which she had maintained all along, collapsed instantly. She couldn't hold it in anymore and shouted toward the entrance of the dungeon: "Demon King! I know you must be here! You must be watching our misery too... right? I know that I have no capital to negotiate with you now! But..."

"But... I... I still want to beg you... to be merciful... and spare Aimici... As long as you let Aimici go... I... am willing to do anything..."

After saying these words, the Holy Maiden bowed her head completely, prostrating herself on the ground, showing a humble and submissive posture, no longer carrying her former pride and stubbornness. She... the esteemed Holy Maiden... had finally bowed to the demon and submitted...

"I'm sorry... Aimici, please forgive my selfishness. You must live well..."

Phyllis, who had been silently watching the whole time, curled her lips in a smile. She clapped her hands and praised, "Oh my my~ what a touching scene~ Holy Maiden~ Originally~ I was thinking, if you continued to maintain your pride today and refused to say anything, I would start with this little one in front of you, and then finally you~ Well~ it seems that won't be necessary~"

Phyllis's words made Wei Anna shudder. This vicious and cruel Demon King! She had even wanted to slowly torture and kill Aimici in front of her! If such a thing really happened before her, Wei Anna felt she would definitely break down!

Afraid that this capricious Demon King might change her mind, Wei Anna hurriedly said anxiously, "Don't you want to know about the God of Light?! I'll tell you! As long as you don't hurt Aimici, I'll tell you everything!" But this time, what she got was Phyllis's soft laugh.

"Hehe~ Let's set aside the matter of the God of Light for now. Going back to just now, are you really willing to do anything? Holy Maiden~"

Wei Anna's heart suddenly sank. What else did this Demon King want to do?! Her hands, locked in shackles, clenched and unclenched several times in unwillingness, but in the end, only a deep sense of powerlessness remained. Aimici was still in the Demon King's hands, and she herself was now just a prisoner. If Phyllis wanted to do anything now, she couldn't stop it.

"...Of course. But the prerequisite is to first establish a Blood Pact. As long as you don't lay a hand on Aimici, I am willing to do anything..."
