Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

Immediately, Bai Ji took a deep breath, suppressed her embarrassment, and awkwardly unbuttoned Samael's clothes, taking the initiative.

After a series of rustling sounds, Samael watched as the princess gradually freed herself from her restraints and revealed her original form under the moonlight. His mouth went dry, and the desire he had been aroused burned uncontrollably in his chest.

"Don't worry, I'll take responsibility for you!"

Arcueid's eyes were resolute as she spoke solemnly, cupping Samael's face in her hands, lowering her head, and pecking at the ancient serpent's lips and teeth.

However, upon hearing this, Samael couldn't help but feel a sense of being pushed back, and he was immediately at a loss for words, his eyes, which were burning with desire, narrowed slightly.

“Princess, if anyone is to take responsibility for this, it’s me.”

As they whispered, the ancient serpent, taking advantage of Arcueid's unpreparedness, decisively turned the tables, pinning Arcueid beneath him and kissing her passionately.

Originally, Arcueid, lacking experience, was completely clueless about the art of kissing, and his attempts could be described as haphazard biting.

However, under the careful tutelage of the experienced bad guy, Arcueid, with her astonishingly fast learning speed, quickly transformed her kissing skills from clumsy to proficient, even becoming self-taught, taking the initiative with long, wet French kisses.

However, for some reason, his once very skilled technique became somewhat clumsy halfway through, and he almost bit Samael's tongue several times.

"Arquette, how dare you! What have you done to me!"

When the long round ended, the princess raised her head to catch her breath and suddenly uttered a cold, angry remark. At the same time, her left scarlet eye had inexplicably turned a dark gold.

Zhu Yue!

Upon hearing that familiar tone and those distinctive eyes, Samuel immediately tensed up, adopting a defensive stance.

Could it be that the seal has changed and she has escaped again?

However, in an instant, the ancient snake, which had just made a move, was directly pressed down by those fair fingers and palms. Its right eye, still scarlet, had a gentle gaze as before, and its tone was full of confidence.

"Don't worry, I'm the one controlling the body. With the Holy Lance sealed, she can't beat me!"

Samael noticed the grief and anger welling up in that left eye, and felt relieved.

He was the one who pierced the Holy Spear, so he naturally believed in the unshakeable sealing power that was in Zhu Yue's favor.

Although the souls of the Moon King and Arcueid are intertwined, the princess will always be the one in control from now on.

Without Arcueid's authorization, she couldn't even control a single finger of this body and could only obediently sleep.

Even though Zhu Yue's consciousness has surfaced, she is like a prisoner locked in a dark mental room, only able to see the scenery outside through a crack in the window, powerless to do anything about what is happening in the outside world.

But why wake her up? Samael was puzzled.

"She is the one who acts on behalf of the moon's will, so she must participate in the entire process of fluid exchange; otherwise, it may not be effective if it is just me."

Arcueid explained earnestly, her one gold and one red eye radiating completely different emotions and colors.

This is not like being tied to a chair to watch porn; it's more like a brainwashing and control scenario, where the victim not only loses control of their body but is also forced to endure a unique experience of external empathy.

For the proud and arrogant Zhu Yue, such an experience was nothing short of an extreme humiliation.

However, cause and effect are cyclical, and retribution is inevitable.

She stabbed me, and I stabbed her back. It's fair, right?

Yes, that makes perfect sense! That makes perfect sense!

Samael thought about it again and quickly convinced himself with a sense of righteousness, and became even more excited.

Immediately, the lustful gaze of a certain scum snake turned to Arcueid below.

"Then, shall we continue?"

"Get out of here! You scum!"

"Okay! What's next?"

Two completely different sentences came from Arcueid's mouth one after the other.

"Shut up! He's not allowed to touch my sacred body!"

"Nonsense, this is clearly my body! Who told you to insist on living in it and try to take over my body!"

"You are my descendant, and it is your duty to dedicate everything to the return of our ancestor!"

"I only inherited your bloodline, not created you, so why should I? Besides, you can't even control Altruchi, so why should you order me around?"

"..."

In this endless argument, Samael seemed to see two souls within one body, bickering in the ocean of consciousness.

However, one was a prisoner and the other was a prison guard.

"Hmph! You dare hurt my Samael! You'll have to pay for it!"

Arcueid, who held absolute control, snorted and initiated the trial.

"Damn it, the humiliation you've inflicted on me, I will repay you tenfold one day!"

Unable to intervene, Zhu Yue could only utter harsh words in grief and indignation.

However, even so, the body that had lost its power still couldn't help but fall in love and kiss Zhu Yue's destined nemesis.

Gradually, amidst their shouting and arguing, the two figures became entangled.

Under the thin moonlight, the symphony of intertwined lives grew ever more passionate and intense.

Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Blooming of Twin Flowers (4.2k)

In the early morning, before dawn, Altrouge was awakened from her deep sleep by a violent shaking of the wooden walls and a commotion from next door.

Hei Ji frowned slightly, rubbed her sleepy eyes, got up, and followed the sound with a puzzled look, walking out the door.

Suddenly, the noise from the next room became clearer.

"Ugh...you worm who humiliated me, you wretched creature! Sooner or later...one day I'll stew you!"

"Ah, Samael... Samael, has your strength... been restored... restored?"

"It seems to really work!"

"Then...we...we'll continue...I will...take responsibility for you to the very end..."

"No! Stop!"

"do not stop!"

Accompanied by different vocal tones—sometimes angry rebukes, sometimes joyful responses, sometimes suppressed groans, and sometimes high-pitched screams—passed from behind the tightly closed door. The nightmarish timbre jolted Altrouge awake, her pupils contracted sharply, and she was instantly wide awake.

Zhu Yue!

At this moment, two intertwined figures projected onto the window, overlapping and entangled, shifting their postures and dominance, clearly engaged in a fierce battle.

"Samael!"

In a flash, without thinking twice, Eltrauge burst through the door and rushed inside.

However, accompanied by the dull sound of the door being broken down, an obscene scene immediately came into Eltrauge's view. The girl was first stunned, then stood there frozen as if struck by lightning.

Similarly, the two people who were having an in-depth conversation in the bedroom also stiffened and their expressions froze.

In the eerie atmosphere, the three stared at each other, their minds racing.

"Ahem, let me explain this matter."

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Samael, who was the first to react, casually pulled the corner of the blanket over himself and Arcueid, tightened his face, coughed, and explained the whole story to Black Princess, omitting parts of it.

After Eltrauge understood what had happened, she frowned and flew into a rage. Her hands clenched involuntarily, and her heaving chest showed her deep resentment.

"Damn it, they didn't even invite me to this!"

"what?"

Samael's expression hardened, his face turning strange, while Arcueid below was also taken aback.

Altrouge snapped out of her daze, coughed violently, and repeatedly explained her true meaning, even glaring with her blood-red eyes, which carried a hint of reproach.

"Ahem, I mean, how could you do something as dangerous as activating Zhu Yue's consciousness?"

"Well, let's prioritize the urgent matter..."

Feeling guilty, Samael was momentarily intimidated and lowered his voice, answering sheepishly.

"no!"

Eltrauge crossed her arms and refused with a righteous and stern expression.

“That’s right! It’s filthy! How dare they treat me like this! It’s simply…”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yue's pent-up anger was released, and she angrily denounced the two disrespectful people who had dragged her into this mess. Her gaze towards Hei Ji softened considerably, and a question even began to form in her mind.

Was I too harsh on this child before?

"This is too risky! For your safety, I need to supervise the whole process!"

With her hands on her hips, Eltrauge confidently proposed the safest solution.

"..."

Zhu Yue, who had just felt a glimmer of hope, suddenly lost her composure, her golden-red eyes filled with grief, anger, and regret.

Sure enough, the beating wasn't enough.

Or perhaps I shouldn't have left any descendants in the first place.

"You need to... be there?"

But only Zhu Yue was numb; Samael, who was neither here nor there, was also somewhat numb, and looked at the thousand-year-old city princess with a strange expression.

Eltrauge nodded solemnly and answered confidently.

"That's right, who knows if she'll lose control again? If that happens, you won't have a second life!"

"With the Holy Lance sealed within, theoretically..."

"What if?!"

Hei Ji rudely interrupted Samael's explanation, rolled her eyes at him, and stubbornly insisted on intervening.

"It's settled then! If you think I'm in your way, I can stand guard outside the door. You can call me anytime if you need any help."

As she spoke, Eltrauge turned and walked towards the door without any hesitation.

However, Samael noticed that the seemingly dashing figure had clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms without him even realizing it, and his shoulders were trembling slightly.

Just as Kurohime was about to step out of the threshold, a deep, melancholy voice came from behind her.

"If what you're saying is true, it does seem a bit dangerous. How about we tie Zhu Yue up like we did last time?"

"No problem! I'll go find a rope!"

Upon hearing this, Eltrauge turned around abruptly and met the eyes of the malevolent snake-like vertical pupils. Her scarlet eyes then gleamed with excitement, and she nodded hastily, gleefully joining the persecution of her sister and mother.

Looking at Kurohime, whose depression had vanished, she cheerfully went to find the tools for her crime.

Samael's lips curled up slightly, vaguely revealing a durian covered in thorns, with a hard outer shell but a soft and fragile heart.

Throughout history, whether it's the creator named Zhu Yue, the True Ancestor group that believes in Bai Ji as the orthodox one, or the Dead Apostles who show no respect for Eltrauge, the King of the Dead Apostles, but instead support Bai Yigong as their ruler...

She never truly gained recognition from either side.

At this moment, the ancient serpent gradually understood Eltrauge's previous childish actions.

She was just afraid of being abandoned;

She was simply afraid of being forgotten;

She simply longed for recognition and acceptance;

She just didn't want to give up like that...

Essentially, this is still a lonely soul who fears being abandoned by those close to him and no longer being needed.

Similarly, she didn't really hate her sister Arcueid; her teasing was just another way of expressing her care and getting the other person's attention.

“Samael, I don’t want to be tied up, and neither does the Ancestor. She promised not to shout anymore…”

Just as Samael was secretly lamenting, both Arcueid and Zhu Yue, having suffered from the painful experience of being bound before, inevitably had some psychological trauma. The two, who were originally at odds, actually reached an agreement on this issue.

Upon hearing this, the ancient serpent glanced at the crimson moon consciousness trapped within its left eye, and then looked somewhat indifferent.

"You're just not going to scold me? That's such a perfunctory attitude!"

"I've already admitted you won, what more do you want? Don't go too far!"
