“What’s the situation?”
“Have you arrived? There is still no movement.”
“Good. I’m going in.”
Bang!
As soon as the command was given, the door shattered. The light was instantly dimmed.
“It’s an illusion spell!”
“Don’t rashly try to dispel it!”
“Everyone, form a line!”
The well-trained individuals responded quickly. The darkness that made it no different from having your eyes closed was quite deep. The building looked much larger from the inside than it did from the outside. And then a faint noise was heard from somewhere far away.
“Uh…… uhu!”
That was the sound of someone biting on a gag and shouting for help!
“Everyone, cautiously move toward the direction of the sound!”
“Yes!”
The individuals moved in a state of disarray, keenly sensing each other’s presence as they approached where the moaning person was. At their level, they could even visualize the entire image of someone in the dark just by sensing their presence.
“Uh! Uhu!”
And the one floundering for help was…
“It’s an adult.”
“It’s a male.”
“He has an unusually large amount of magical power. He’s a wizard!”
Unfortunately, he was not the one they were looking for.
“Tsk, stand down. Scan for presences again!”
“Yes!”
“Uhu! Huuuh!”
The wizard cried out for help again, but nobody paid him any attention. It was when the trained individuals were scanning the darkness with their keen senses.
“Ugh!”
“Ah!”
The sound of several men stumbling and falling to the ground was heard.
“There’s something at our feet!”
“Watch your step!”
“It’s a person!”
“A person, you say? Can you identify them?”
The man who had quickly given the command spoke again after scanning for presences one more time.
“It’s not Princess Windsor!”
It was then.
“……Prince?”
A calm and melodious voice was heard, and the illusion spell that had darkened the vision was instantly dispelled. The men groaned and closed or covered their eyes due to the sudden brightness.
Standing anxiously in the center and looking around was Benjamin, who was no different.
“I’m here.”
Someone in front clapped their hands. It felt like Lapine was calling him, but unlike the trivial applause from back then, it now felt extremely serious.
Gradually, his eyes adapted to the bright light. He forcefully raised his squinted, stinging eyes. Through the blurry vision, a black woman was standing in the center of an excessively bright, almost bleached world.
Standing there, as always, in a slightly disheveled but nonetheless perfect posture, was Yurisien.
“Are you alright?”
Yurisien, the only one with a comforting black color in a world entirely too bright, kindly smiled at Benjamin, who was barely able to look at him with trembling eyelids.
Cold and distant eyes softened, giving way to a smile that was ineffably beautiful and serene. Within them, the glowing red irises resembled dew-kissed roses.
“I apologize. I must have overwhelmed you.”
Benjamin slowly approached Yurisien. Only then did he gaze at her with eyes fully adjusted to the light. Still, he could not shake the thought that she was exceedingly dazzling.
At the edge of Benjamin’s field of vision, which was focused solely on Yurisien, lay men sprawled unconscious.
“What on earth…”
It had been just 30 minutes since Benjamin had heard the report of Yurisien being kidnapped. The time it took him to break in after his arrival was a mere one minute. In that time, Yurisien had clearly been alone. So what on earth was the meaning of this spectacle?
In response to Benjamin’s dumbfounded question, Yurisien proudly shook both her hands.
“I merely gave them a hand for attempting to overpower me with only ten men.”
If they really intended to kidnap me, they should have called for more people.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
