My beautiful CEO wife

Chapter 1293: Netherworld King, Hades

This place had just experienced a brutal battle, with four or five werewolf corpses lying on the ground. Blood was everywhere, and severed limbs were scattered around. Naturally, Xiao Zheng couldn’t leave a young girl in such an environment, so he bent down quickly, picked up the girl in red, and found another clearing to set her down.

The girl in red, having grown up until now, was experiencing such close contact with a man for the first time, especially as her clothes were somewhat tattered, allowing parts of her skin to feel the touch through direct contact with Xiao Zheng’s body.

The girl’s face flushed a deep red; she lowered her head and said nothing as her heart beat wildly.

Xiao Zheng didn’t notice these small details. After finding a safe clearing, he placed the girl on the ground and said, "Alright, you rest for a bit. I’ll rest as well."

After saying this, Xiao Zheng walked to one side and sat down cross-legged.

He had previously intruded into Harren’s castle, experiencing an intense struggle with Harren’s forces. So, at this moment, Xiao Zheng was extremely exhausted. He began to circulate the Muscle Strengthening Scripture to recover.

Once Xiao Zheng entered his cultivation state, the girl in red slowly opened her eyes, quietly staring at Xiao Zheng.

Any martial arts master has an extremely keen spiritual sense, and would certainly be the first to notice being watched, not to mention someone at Martial Saint level like Xiao Zheng! But as the girl stared at Xiao Zheng, he showed no reaction whatsoever.

Meanwhile, above the sky, the full moon was gradually setting; dawn was approaching.

The girl in red watched Xiao Zheng for a while, then looked skyward at the moon, her expression complicated, and sighed lightly, "It’s finally passing."

She was a prince-level powerhouse among the vampires, named Hades, known as the Netherworld King, one of the mightiest among the vampire clan!

She was also the leader of the Blood Clan!

Moreover, she held a very special status as a hybrid of the human clan and vampires! Therefore, within the vampire clan, Netherworld King Hades was always despised, considered to have impure bloodlines.

Even with all sorts of rumors and murmurs in secret, no one dared to say anything to her face, because she was too powerful!

Additionally, she was domineering, ruthless, and strong-willed!

Once, a Martial Saint level Blood Prince insulted her, questioning what qualification such an impure blooded monster had to inherit the Netherworld King’s legacy and become King of the Blood Clan?

That Blood Prince held vast power, and his words quickly caught the support of many, with various vampires criticizing Hades, demanding she surrender the Netherworld King’s legacy and relinquish the position!

The Netherworld King’s legacy was an extremely significant asset within the Blood Clan, coveted by all vampires.

Upon hearing these remarks, Hades entered a vampire gathering alone and, before everyone’s eyes, killed that Blood Prince!

And it didn’t stop there. After slaying the Martial Saint, Hades ruthlessly eradicated all forces under that Martial Saint, leaving none alive.

Before someone like her, all vampires naturally felt both admiration and fear.

Thus, despite Hades having issues with her bloodline, her rule within the vampire clan remained solid and unchallenged.

However, this immensely powerful Hades had a fatal weakness!

As a hybrid of the human clan and vampires, during certain full moon nights, her vampire bloodline would completely vanish, turning her into an ordinary human girl.

If such a secret were to be discovered by her fellow vampires, who knows what might happen! Therefore, whenever such days approached, she would leave the vampire territory alone, hoping to pass through it safely.

Unexpectedly, this time there was an incident!

She was discovered by the werewolf clan. Upon seeing a human girl, they went crazy, relentlessly hunting her down until she nearly gave up hope.

Yet at the most desperate moment, Xiao Zheng descended from the sky and rescued her.

The girl in red glanced toward Xiao Zheng not far away, her eyes brimming with deep gratitude.

Though her nature was cold, domineering, and powerful, she was also someone who repaid kindness!

"Evil God, I’ll remember you," the girl in red murmured.

Ever since the Battle of the Demon Shield Bureau, Xiao Zheng had gained worldwide fame. Given the speed at which information spreads in this era, even the girl in red was aware of Xiao Zheng’s various exploits, having photos and images of him at hand, so she recognized him instantly upon seeing him.

In the sky, the full moon gradually disappeared.

And as this process unfolded, the aura of the girl in red grew stronger and stronger.

This process was intense, like a stormy sea or a raging tsunami, yet her body seemed so calm from the outside.

When the first dawn light broke through the sky, the aura of the girl in red reached its peak. She suddenly stood up and let out a long howl toward the sky.

"Ah..."

The echoing howl swept through the ancient forest.

A formidable oppression, like a tidal wave, rolled out, and various fierce beasts in the ancient forest, along with some vampires and werewolves, shuddered in unison, feeling a chill run through them.

Some of the weaker beings could not help but kneel down.

Yet, curiously, Xiao Zheng remained seated there without any response.

The girl in red’s long howl somehow shielded Xiao Zheng, leaving him oblivious to all this!

Xiao Zheng, a Martial Saint level practitioner, was also a cultivation genius, possessing spiritual senses many times keener than an average Martial Saint. To block out someone of his perceptibility, Hades’s means can only be described as supernatural.

The howl ceased, and Hades’s demeanor transformed, shedding the fragility of her earlier state as a girl in red, becoming commanding and powerful.

Standing there, she was like a female sovereign, majestically imposing, as though the entire world revolved around her, her expression cold and without emotion.

With a glance at Xiao Zheng, Hades unfurled a pair of massive blood-red wings and flew into the distance.

In an instant, she became a black dot in the sky and then vanished entirely.

Only after some time did Xiao Zheng open his eyes.

And then, he was taken aback.

"Where is that girl?!"

Xiao Zheng looked all around, discovering that there was no trace of the girl in red left.

"How can this be? Who could abduct the girl right under my nose?" Xiao Zheng thought in disbelief.

If someone really did that, their power would far exceed his, so why bother taking a girl? It defies logic!
