Imperial Crown.

Chapter 647 A Heart-Piercing Tenderness Like a Poison from Heaven

"My lord," "I really have to go back~" "It's been three days. If you don't go back soon, Madam will be worried."

Inside the bedroom, Angie said in a coquettish tone.

"It's okay." "Don't go." "I can manage."

Raven had two dark panda eyes and pale lips on the muddy road.

"My lord," "You're as limp as an eel..."

Angie was speechless.

"OK then."

Seeing that Angie seemed a little disgusted, Raven could only nod. "Then I won't see you off." "Take this." Raven took out two more bottles of potions. One was a third-tier Divine Gift Potion, and the other was a third-tier Anti-Aging Potion.

"Um"

Angie took a shower, got dressed, and happily took the potion. Then, like a thief, she slipped out of her room and headed towards the sixth floor. For Angie, this wasn't just a gift; it was proof of Raven's feelings for her. No wonder all those women were so eager to give him the potion. He was such a thoughtful person. He didn't need to give it to her, but he still took it out and gave it to her. This warmed Angie's heart.

Once outside, Anqi tore her clothes to shreds, threw away one of her shoes, and then ripped her stockings in the same way. After tangling her hair into a mess, she pinched her thigh hard, and tears streamed down her face.

She then stumbled into Denise's room, sobbing softly. "Madam!!" "Madam!!" "You must stand up for Angie!!" she cried as she burst into the room.

Denise frowned and snapped, "Keep your voice down! Mellove has just fallen asleep."

Seeing Angie's state, Denise immediately understood what had happened. Her eyebrows furrowed as she scolded, "That little bee!" "A leopard can't change its spots!" "Even a rabbit knows not to eat the grass near its burrow, yet he insists on ravaging everyone around him!" After saying this, her expression softened and she said, "Go and rest for a few days before coming back."

"Mmm," Angie nodded, tears streaming down her face, biting her lip as she left the room and returned to her own. Only then did she let out a long sigh of relief.

Denise shook her head helplessly. She understood perfectly well what was going on after seeing Angie's attire. However, Angie had been loyal to her for so many years, so Denise didn't mind. After all, she was a woman herself, and she had needs, didn't she? Serving others was something Angie would absolutely disdain. Serving Raven was, at least, keeping the benefits within the family. Some things are best left unsaid. What's said in private is nothing, but what's said in public is incredibly powerful. Angie was a smart woman; by cooperating in this charade, everyone could save face.

……

Nord Province, Snowmaple County, Eagle Territory, Goldshire.

The bustling, hole-in-the-wall eatery, "Old Xu's Grocery Store," which had been lively all day, finally quieted down.

Inside the room, cheap candles were crackling and burning.

Red sheets, red blankets, red curtains, a red bride, a red veil...

Bu Ruo sat on the bed, her robust "delicate body" trembling slightly with excitement. Her hands were neatly placed on her knees, and her feet were also pressed together.

"Old Xu," "If you think I'm ugly, you don't have to take off this red cloth... the red veil..." "I..." "I..." "I understand."

Bu Ruo said in a trembling voice.

She was once a member of the Broken Tooth tribe, and the female leader of the elite battle group [Blood Swamp Tramplers] under Broken Tooth's son, Jing Ge Steelback. She was a second-tier transcendent who had awakened her battle aura.

However, he was later captured by Thor.

Now, however, she has become the wife of Old Xu, a human.

Life is truly like an illusion, and even now, Bu Ruo still can't...and can't truly believe what's happening before her eyes.

She once hated the human race and wanted to kill them. As a female orc and a female warrior, she never thought about settling down and having children. She was very proud and arrogant, and even the best warriors in her tribe, even Jing Ge, were unappealing to her.

But somehow... she fell for Old Xu.

Old Xu's taciturnity, Old Xu's silence, Old Xu's persistence... and Old Xu's sensitive and fragile heart... perhaps it's that bowl of braised pork in the early morning, or perhaps it's that warm, fragrant naan bread after getting off work at 10 pm.

Unbeknownst to me, love was gradually imprinted in my heart.

Like a dragonfly skimming the water, like a mayfly treading on the waves.

"So humans and orcs can fall in love???"

Bu Ruo couldn't understand. She thought about it for a long time... but still couldn't figure it out. "What does that thousand-year-old blood feud, that mutual slaughter, even matter?" Fortunately, she wasn't as heavy-hearted as Lao Xu; if she couldn't understand, she simply wouldn't think about it. Anyway, she liked Lao Xu. An uncontrollable kind of liking.

"cough"

Old Xu coughed lightly, his eyes brimming with barely concealed amusement, but his voice was serious as he said, "Hmm... it's better not to take it off. I'm afraid it'll scare me!"

"You!!!"

Bu Ruo stomped her foot in anger and reached out to pull off the red veil covering her head. She had lived in the human territory for so many years and had seen countless weddings, but no one had ever covered their heads with a red cloth. Old Xu insisted she wear it—wasn't that blatant disdain?! All her sincere feelings for Old Xu had been wasted. But the next moment, her hand seemed frozen in place, and she silently lowered it.

Forget it. Although I am an extraordinary being, Old Xu is a human, and it already took a lot of courage for him to marry me.

Tonight is her wedding night again. Bu Ruo heard that you shouldn't have any arguments on your wedding night, otherwise things will go wrong in the future.

Bu Ruo finally lowered her hand slowly, and said somewhat aggrievedly, "Then I won't be able to see anything... You have to be gentle with me later."

"no problem."

As he spoke, Old Xu secretly took out the treasure he had hidden in his sleeve.

The next moment, just as Bu Ruo was about to undress in the dark, Old Xu suddenly lifted the red veil from his wife's head. No kidding, who doesn't lift the veil on their wedding night?

"Wife," Old Xu said, "open your eyes wide and look at what this is!" He handed her the object in his hand like a treasure.

Outside, the cold wind howled like a dragon, while inside, the candlelight was dim.

Bu Ruo immediately noticed what Old Xu was holding. She jumped up and slammed her head against the bed frame with a loud thud. "Ouch!" she cried, clutching her head in pain.

"Oh dear!" "Honey, are you alright?!"

Old Xu couldn't care less about showing off anymore; he hurriedly put down what he was holding and went forward to check.

"It's alright, it's alright," Bu Ruo said, disregarding her delicate demeanor. She gripped the object tightly in her hand, muttering incredulously, "It...it really is a transformation potion?!?"

Really.

At this moment, no words can describe even a fraction of Bu Ruo's feelings.

Looking at the crystal-clear, light-like third-tier transformation potion in her hand, wasn't this the treasure that Bu Ruo had been dreaming of? She didn't even know when she would regain her freedom, let alone buy the potion.

"Old Xu," "Where did you come from?" "And you're at level three!!" "You wouldn't..."

Bu Ruo wanted to say that Lao Xu stole it, but after thinking it over, she realized that Lao Xu shouldn't be that kind of person, nor did he have the guts. Otherwise, how could he have ended up in this situation?

"Hahaha"

Old Xu laughed heartily, exuding an aura of dominance. "I told you long ago, your husband isn't just anyone." He pointed his thumb behind his head, "You know Godfather Raven? He's one of my buddies. I just said one word, and he obediently delivered this Tier 3 Transformation Potion. He said it was a wedding gift for us!!"

"Keep bragging."

Bu Ru rolled her eyes. She had witnessed firsthand how terrifying Raven was. Besides, she had known Old Xu for many years—three? Four?—and Raven had never once visited this fly-infested restaurant. He had hardly ever even been to Goldshire.

If Philip really knew Raven, and he was even Old Xu's friend, then Philip would have to kowtow 800 times a day to worship Old Xu.

"You've spent money again. How much did this cost?" "I heard it's at least 6000 gold coins."

"Bu Ruo couldn't help but mutter. But as she spoke, tears welled up in her two large, round, beautiful eyes, though they were animal eyes. It was hard to tell whether it was from being moved or from the pain in her head after bumping it earlier."

"Huh?!?" "This thing is so expensive?!"

"I always hear you nagging, so I thought I'd ask the Godfather for a share." "I had no idea this stuff was so expensive!" Old Xu turned pale with fright. His lower abdomen, which had just drunk some aphrodisiac wine, instantly felt ice-cold.

Bu Ruo was also startled. "Really?!" "Really not you who bought it?" "It really was from Raven?!" Bu Ruo was even more shocked. "You really know Raven?!" "Good heavens!" "Do you know how stingy he is?" "This bottle of Tier 3 potion is like cutting off his flesh with a knife!" As she spoke, Bu Ruo gave a thumbs up. "For giving you this, Old Xu, is Raven really your older brother?"

After saying that, Bu Ruo's expression changed, as if she had thought of something, and without another word, she opened the package and swallowed it. "I'll drink it quickly!" "So that Raven won't change his mind and send someone to take it back!"

Old Xu: ……

"Well…"

The next moment, Bu Ruo collapsed onto the bed, letting out a painful groan. "Old Xu, I..." "What should I look like in human form?!" "Do you have a picture?!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Old Xu hurriedly and frantically rummaged through drawers and cabinets, took out a scroll, and slowly unfurled it. "I just scribbled this down when I had nothing else to do." "Take this form, my wife!"

Despite the pain, Bu Ruo looked at the portrait. In it was a beautiful woman with fair skin, long, glossy black hair, bright white teeth, and large, sharp, expressive eyes.

As Bu Ruo began to take form, her entire body radiated dazzling light! Suddenly, her two fangs began to recede, and the brown fur on her body began to shrink back into her. Her cheeks also began to change into a human face. About 40 minutes later, a beautiful woman, almost identical to the one in the portrait, lay on the bed.

As the light faded, Old Xu saw Bu Ruo.

"Gudong"

The sound of swallowing saliva, though seemingly nothing more than a stone falling into a dry well, echoed with tremendous force. Beautiful! So beautiful! The next moment, disregarding Bu Ruo's still-weak state, Old Xu pounced on her like a wolf.

Old Xu roared wildly, venting everything that had been building up inside him for over a decade!
From the bed came a sweet, coquettish response. It was the kind of soft, whiny voice that could make anyone blush with embarrassment just by hearing a single word.

……

No sleep for one night.

Despite the pain, Bu Ruo got dressed and went to the river to empty the chamber pot.

"A ghost!" "A ghost—"

A mournful, aged wail rang out.

"His aunt!" "His aunt!!" "I'm Bu Ruo, what the hell?!"

Bu Ruo hurriedly explained.

"You...you're Bu Ruo?!" the old woman asked incredulously. "Weren't you a wild boar? How did you change?!"

Bu Ruo: "..."

"Got it!" "So, after the wedding night, orcs can turn into beautiful women?!" "Why didn't you say so sooner?!"

The old woman was both surprised and delighted. "Quickly, I'll help my three sons marry three beastmen!" "I must go back to the village immediately to tell everyone this good news!" The old woman, leaning on her cane, ran as fast as she could!
Bu Ruo: "..."

"Fine! Let her pass it on. Maybe it can even resolve the animosity between humans and orcs," Bu Ruo thought to herself, shaking her head as she went back inside.

……

Noon the next day.

Raven woke up groggily, his body still aching a bit.

Angie, that little green tea b*tch, is incredibly vocal. Compared to her aunt's panting during each struggle, Lux remains completely silent, like a wooden stake... Angie is the kind of stunning beauty who can make you scream even with your eyes closed, without you needing to see the screen. A national treasure-level "voice actress" with a seductive voice.

Even now, the thought of it makes Raven's legs tremble uncontrollably. By the third day, Raven could barely walk. Even going to the toilet required him to support his legs with both hands to take a single step.

"Ugh"

With a long sigh, Raven never imagined that he, a once-proud "Little Bee," would stoop to this level. He was now completely devoid of desire. Every time he caused trouble, he felt like a stud pig, experiencing only pain and no pleasure.

Come to think of it, whether it's Julia or Angie, they're just using Raven as a tool to satisfy their desires. What nonsense about romance! "Beauty," "Like wolves and tigers!" Suddenly remembering his warning to Tang San, Raven looked in the mirror, his reflection showing a haggard face.

Just three days ago, Anqi was still a virgin.

3 days,
Just 3 days.

Riding on Raven's back, she thrust into him with a passionate love that was like a poison from heaven, seemingly wanting to suck the very essence from Raven's bones. All that was brought to Raven was endless torment and pain.

After taking a bath, Raven got dressed and went up to the sixth floor.

Upon arriving at his aunt's room, he put on an apron without saying a word and began to cook himself—making dumplings.

There's a specific method to making these dumplings. First, you need to prepare the filling, then you need to knead the dough, and only then can you roll out the wrappers.

As Raven busied himself, a little over an hour later, bowls of steaming hot, glistening dumplings, emitting an irresistible aroma, were placed on the table.

"Oh!" "I thought the sun had risen in the west today."

Denise, who had just come out of the house, saw this and said with a faint sarcasm.

Wearing a festive brocade cheongsam with a deep red vest draped over it, thick black stockings, and high heels, Auntie was always impeccably dressed, dignified, and serious. She held Merovich in her arms; the two "mother and daughter" were almost identically dressed. Merovich wore a small cheongsam, white stockings, and red high heels. A red vest, resembling a half-cape, was also draped over her shoulders. Her hair was styled in two high buns. Although she had a distinctly Western face, her attire was distinctly Eastern.

A round face, fair skin, black hair, and bright blue eyes.

At such a young age, she is already a stunning beauty.

"Father."

"Seven-year-old Melove called out softly. There was no shyness in her expression, nor any enthusiasm in her tone. After all, she really wasn't very familiar with Raven."

"OK"

Raven nodded. "Come and try some." "These are called dumplings."

Raven took out chili sauce, aged vinegar, and minced garlic and began to prepare the dipping sauce.

"It's so sour..." Melove said, frowning after taking a small bite.

“Then I won’t eat it.” Denise immediately moved the plate away. Her doting on Melove was practically overflowing even through the screen.

Raven ate with great relish, one bite at a time, and quickly finished most of the bowl.

Denise quickly noticed something was wrong. "It tastes pretty good, why are you crying again?" Denise was very puzzled as she looked at the tears on Raven's face.

"Grass"

"Oh shit"

Old Xu, you motherfucker, you deserve to die!

It hurts more than if his mother killed me.

"Waaah"

Raven grew increasingly sad as he ate, and burst into tears, sobbing, "I miss home..."
