I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 525 - 205: The Man Pressed on Princess! Empress: Feels Like There’s a Green Hat on My Head~_4

The woman in golden armor smiled gently at the boy, "So young and you’ve already tasted blood, no wonder you look so strong."

The Barbarian Tribe peasant woman’s face turned pale as a sheet, stammering, "General... please don’t..."

Swish—

Before the words were finished, a blinding sword light flashed by.

Two heads flew into the air, the wounds smooth as mirrors, and only after they hit the ground did blood slowly begin to seep out.

Yet the woman’s hand in golden armor didn’t even twitch; it was impossible to see when she had drawn her sword.

"It’s always good to move the body, or the bones will rust."

"It’s about time to go back for lunch."

The woman stretched her waist, yawned, and turned to walk towards the pass.

The female adjutant in Mystic Armor followed closely behind.

In this operation, there were only the two of them, penetrating a thousand miles into the heart of the Barbarian Tribe, clearing several strongholds, exterminating thousands of Barbarians!

However, looking at the woman’s calm demeanor, it seemed she was already accustomed to this.

"Your Highness, just now that Barbarian child..." The adjutant hesitated to speak.

The woman in golden armor said indifferently, "For the Barbarian Tribe, eating human flesh happens only once or countless times. Once they’ve started, there’s no turning back, and who knows how many of our Human Race he might kill in the future. This child cannot be spared."

The adjutant blinked and asked, "What if he hadn’t eaten human flesh?"

The woman in golden armor shook her head and said, "To be so young yet restrain one’s desires in such an environment shows that this child’s heart is exceptional, surely a future threat. He cannot be spared."

"..."

"So, either way, it’s death, huh?"

The female adjutant rubbed her brow, helplessly saying, "Then why waste so much breath on them? Just kill them directly."

"Because I am kind."

With her hands clasped behind her, the woman in golden armor sighed, "Killing is not the goal, it’s a means... Do you think I enjoy killing? Without a sufficiently compelling reason, I’m afraid I’d hesitate myself."

Oh please, you just enjoy it...

If she didn’t know Your Highness’s personality, the female adjutant might actually believe it...

The female adjutant remained silent for a moment, then sighed, "We kill Barbarians, and then Barbarians come to kill us. Vengeance begets vengeance, never ending. When will it ever stop?"

The woman in golden armor said, "There’s only one way to end this war."

The female adjutant asked curiously, "What way?"

The woman in golden armor pulled up a smile, revealing snow-white teeth, her smile blooming like a flower.

"And that is to slaughter every tribe with Barbarian blood flowing in their veins—from infants to grown men, from women to temple priests... solve the issue entirely."

"..."

Feeling the excitement in those words, the female adjutant’s eye twitched, "You’re really a great benevolent person."

The woman in golden armor nodded, "Naturally."

At this moment, she seemed to notice something, her steps suddenly paused.

She looked up towards the north, her eyes narrowing slightly, a hint of golden light flashing in her eyes.

"Your Highness, what’s wrong?" the female adjutant asked.

The woman in golden armor shook her head, saying, "Can’t be, it must be an illusion, let’s go..."

She took a step forward, and her figure suddenly disappeared.

"Your Highness, wait for me."

The female adjutant soared into the air, her figure turning into a streak of light vanishing quickly.

...

...

Tiandu City, Yangxin Palace.

The Empress leaned on the Phoenix Throne, her brows furrowed, and said, "What did you say? Jinyun took Zhu’er to the Chen Mansion?"

Sun Senior Palace Lady nodded, "Yes, and they brought two boxes of jewelry and trinkets. It’s said they went to deliver a token of thanks to the Chen Mansion. They left at eleven and were gone by lunch, not staying for a meal at Chen Mansion."

"Deliver a token of thanks?"

The Empress’s frown grew deeper.

Jinyun seemed to be up to something.

Looks like I’ll have to call the little thief to the palace next time to ask properly...

Knock knock knock—

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and a Palace Servant’s voice came from outside, "Reporting, Your Highness, Tributor Zhong is here with Mr. Chen, they’re currently waiting outside."

The Empress asked in confusion, "How did Zhong Lihe get involved with Chen Mo?"

The Palace Servant hesitated before saying, "Um... to be precise, Mr. Chen is being carried by Tributor Zhong. He seems to have fainted..."

The Empress: ???
