Chapter 424

Before leaving, Guizhong emphasized, his face flushed.

This is where she differs from Heulia. Heulia would never make any demands on her king; she is simply utterly submissive, placing herself in an extremely low position. Fortunately, this weak-willed Demon God who engages in self-deception encounters the benevolent Anqi Faction, whom Maria likes both and will treat well.

Maria nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, the anesthetic dosage will be adjusted for other people. And it doesn't necessarily have to be done by sucking blood from the neck. I can just make a small incision and extract the blood remotely; it works just as well."

Maria watched Guizhong's departing figure with a smile in her eyes. She gently stroked her fingers, unconsciously bringing them to her nose to sniff.

'Girls are so cute; they make adorable sounds no matter where you touch them.'

Maria couldn't help but recall those two weeks of frenzied emotional release. Then, the mental pressure about history and the burden of the future was suddenly released.

Whatever, she's already made a profit anyway.

Suddenly she turned her head to look in another direction and frowned.

"King."

Heulia came up from behind and gently snuggled into Maria's arms.

Maria embraced her and said softly:

"You felt it too?"

"Hmm, it feels dangerous. I'll have to trouble the king to go hunting again."

Heulia looked at Maria apologetically.

She truly felt that she and Yancheng owed Wang a great deal.

Everyone's safe life is all thanks to the Salt King's hunting of all the threats from all sides, yet no one can truly help the Salt King.

Heulia could do was suppress the lingering pleasure in her body, raise her neck, and offer her blood and strength to Maria.

"Are you still able to hold on? If not, you don't have to."

"It's okay, I can... or rather... I like it..."

Heulia covered her face with her hands, unable to believe that she had said such shameful words.

As the fangs pierced his neck, a familiar sensation surged through him.

Heulia nestled in that infinitely beautiful embrace, letting her body convulse instinctively.

When she regained her senses, Maria returned with a victory that everyone in Salt City had grown accustomed to.

Heulia instinctively snuggled into that embrace again, falling peacefully asleep in exhaustion. In her hazy state, she vaguely heard herself saying—it's broken, it's over, I can never leave the king again, I can never go back to living alone.

Maria: "..."

In fact, it was said aloud, and Maria heard it too.

But listening to this, it sounds like she's some kind of eroge character who specifically leads girls astray.

Or perhaps we could slightly adjust the anesthetic and pain-relieving components in blood-sucking products in the future?

Maria hesitated, then embraced Heulia and returned to the palace.

"Boom!"

"Chew, chew, chew~~"

Guizhong appeared beside Maria countless times, and witnessed Maria's moving and heroic figure as she fought against powerful enemies.

This time, the enemy is not from Yancheng, but from Guili Plains.

Maria returned quickly, reeking of blood.

Guizhong chewed on the flatbread, and couldn't help but frown.

"The frequency is too high. Whether it's Yancheng Guili Plains, the frequency of encounters with enemies lately has been too high, hasn't it? It feels like your kill count is almost catching up with Morax's."

Although it was during wartime, Guili Plains was inherently vulnerable to attack.

But the recent frequency is indeed strangely high.

Maria frowned as well.

'Small trends can be changed, but the big trend cannot...'

The essence of Istaroth's power is to overwrite the original world data with a data version that has been "altered" by history.

In this process, the conflicting parts of the two sets of data, that is, the parts of historical change, will encounter tremendous resistance from the original history.

Reflected in Maria, the turning point, countless events will occur, transforming Maria, Heulia, Guizhong, Salt City, Guili Plains, and other beings back to their original forms.

"You look like you've figured something out. Do you know why?"

"I can't say."

"Oh."

"But... protect yourself. No matter what, protect yourself, and trust me."

Maria hugged the bewildered Guizhong tightly and lovingly stroked her head.

The frequent enemy attacks are likely a backlash from the prevailing historical trend.

It doesn't matter that it wants to destroy Maria.

But its destruction of the Guizhong and Heulia is another matter entirely.

Guizhong lifted her head from Maria's embrace, took a bite of the biscuit, and chewed, knowing that Maria might know something. However, since Maria had chosen to keep it a secret, Guizhong didn't press the matter. She simply looked at Maria's worried gaze and gave her a bright smile:

"Come stay at my place tonight!"

"Good."

Maria's hand caressed Guizhong's soft and delicate waist.

A blush appeared on Guizhong's face, and everything was understood without words.

Later, Guizhong worked even harder to develop various military machines, which he frantically set up around Dihua Marsh and the Salt of the Earth, and his defensive facilities were expanded and expanded again and again.

But no matter how hard they try, it seems they can't keep up with the increasing frequency of attacks in both places.

A sense of unease, a feeling that a storm was brewing, was palpable in everyone's mind.
