"Linyin! This pill..."
She suddenly looked at Linyin.
Yet her daughter still stood quietly, without the slightest hint of surprise on her face.
"Mother, I'm sorry."
Linyin spoke slowly, her expression cold.
"You?!"
The Phantom Demon Sovereign's pupils suddenly contracted.
She tried to activate her Divine Power, only to discover that she no longer had the strength even to stand.
Agonizing pain surged through her divine soul in wave after wave, blurring her consciousness.

It was the Succubus Race's core enslavement secret art.
Once planted, the soul would submit for all eternity!
"Damn it! Who was it?!
Who planted the Heart-Eating Mark on you?!"
Boundless rage and the pain of betrayal surged into the Phantom Demon Sovereign's heart.
The remnants of her violet-black Divine Power erupted with a boom, making the entire bedchamber tremble.
"It was me."
A low, calm voice
