Chapter 69 The Prayer of the Holy Maiden Ajin

To the northeast, a high wall made of gray stones surrounds the Bone-Eating Lizard Orcs' encampment like the fangs of a giant beast.

Inside the cave, flickering torches cast scarlet shadows onto the rock walls and ceiling.

Hundreds of translucent cocoons of the Heart-Eating Nightmare Spiders hang intertwined, resembling eerie chandeliers.

A huddled figure could be vaguely seen inside the cocoon, and faint sounds of struggle could be heard occasionally as the spider silk swayed.

The stench emanating from the depths of the cave sent chills down one's spine.

The two-meter-tall lizard leader, Nilro, leaned back on a throne made of twisted spider leg bones.

In the corner, the old computer, covered in cobwebs and slime, suddenly emitted a piercing vibration.

Lord Li's voice message arrived accompanied by two clear pictures.

One photo shows a young girl in a gorgeous princess dress with a bright smile, the gold embroidery on the hem exuding an aristocratic air.

The other image shows a handsome orc in a court uniform.

Black venomous dragon scales were faintly visible beneath the uniform, and the cold gaze seemed to pierce through the screen.

"This time, I'm bringing you Princess Su An'an."

Lord Li's hoarse voice carried suppressed excitement:
"Although she is a mid-level female, she has a noble bloodline."

"Be careful of the venomous dragon beast husband beside her; he is an executor of the Tribunal, a 2S combat beast."

The computer automatically cuts off communication after the voice message is finished.

"Royal High-Ranking Female?"

A greedy red light gleamed in Nirro's cloudy eyes. "Perfect for replenishing my energy!"

A white female, around forty years old, knelt down beside the throne.

Her pink and white mouse ears trembled nervously, her slender fingers gripped the gilded wine pot, and she wore a restraining bracelet woven from spider silk on her wrist.

"Congratulations, Your Excellency, on the acquisition of royal blood!"

She poured the amber liquid into a goblet studded with spider fangs, her voice trembling with just the right amount of tremor:
"I've heard that Executive Officer Ye Yuan is extremely capable in combat. Wouldn't sending him here by the rebels just cause you trouble?"

"So what if it's a 2S battle beast? So what if it's an executioner from the Inquisition?"

Nirro suddenly stood up, the force of his lizard tail whipping out several deep gashes in the rock wall:
"On my turf, even a dragon has to coil up before me!"

"Bone fracture!"

With a fierce shout, the giant lizard with a human head covered in bone spurs strode out.

Nirro coldly gave the order:
"Take two teams of bloodsniffers! Chop the snake people into mincemeat and feed them to the spider eggs. Lock up the princess first so I can have a taste, then send her to the female cave to spread her offspring!"

"Yes!"

His bloodshot eyes gleamed with greed, and he turned to leave without waiting.

"Chief, the Bone-Cracking Spirit's power is unstable. What if it harms the Princess..."

Before the white-haired female could finish speaking, she was whipped by the lizard's tail and slammed hard against the rock wall.

"So what if I hurt her?"

Neillo grabbed her by the neck and said viciously:

"As long as they can have offspring, that's enough."

"Please calm down, Chief. Lord Li only sent one female this time. I was worried that it wouldn't be enough for breeding."

The white-haired female said with difficulty.

"Those rebel bastards took the spider venom I provided, but all they delivered was a female! I'll settle the score with them sooner or later!"

Neilro threw the white-haired female to the ground: "Get out!"

A dark, damp, and secluded female cave.

The white-haired female limped inside, carrying a warm ceramic bowl.

The rising aroma of herbs mixed with the sweet taste of rice porridge dispelled some of the musty smell.

She had secretly placed fluorescent stones in the crevices of the cave walls, casting a soft glow on the rock face.

More than twenty pairs of eyes peered out from the corner covered with hay.

Although still vigilant, it is no longer an empty void of despair.

"I added herbs today, which can suppress the pain from the spider venom attack."

She passed the ceramic bowls over the iron bars one by one, her fingertips gently pressing on the trembling hand of a one-eyed female:
"Don't touch the wound, I'll bring some ointment tonight."

The one-eyed female hesitated, then finally took the bowl and whispered, "Be careful."

A faint cough came from the corner as the heavily injured pink-haired female tried to get up.

But it aggravated the tattered bandage wrapped around his waist.

The white-furred female quickly stepped forward, her rat tail deftly hooking around the woman's elbow to steady herself.
"Save your energy." She lowered her voice, her ears darting around alertly.
"I heard that the rebels actually sent the Third Princess, Su An'an, in here!"

"The Empress will definitely send the Imperial Army to rescue her."

"As long as we hold out until then, we can return to the capital with the princess and finally escape this place!"

The females' breathing suddenly quickened, and one of them gripped the iron bars so tightly that her knuckles turned white: "You're just trying to fool us again..."

"Will coaxing you heal the wound?"

The white-haired female tore open her sleeve, revealing fresh teeth marks on her forearm:
"This morning, in order to get more herbs, I had a piece of flesh bitten off by Neilro's new pet."

She deliberately positioned the wound to face the fluorescent stone, the gruesome teeth marks gleaming with an eerie bluish-purple hue:

"If you don't want to die, drink all the medicine and keep yourself alive."

"The princess's beast husband is Ye Yuan, an executive officer of the Imperial Court, and a 2S-class combat beast! With him here, we will definitely be able to wait for reinforcements!"

The cage suddenly trembled, not from frantic pounding, but from the females weakly striking the bars.

Ah Jin looked at the light that had been rekindled in their eyes.

When they first arrived here, they didn't even have the strength to resist.

As she turned to leave, she quietly slipped half a piece of hard bread, hidden in her skirt, into the seriously injured man's palm.

Under the other person's grateful gaze, he silently mouthed, "Hang in there, freedom is near."

Dusk was falling outside the cave.

A baby lizard with a rat's tail and covered in pearly lizard scales is mimicking the movements of a Heart-Eating Nightmare Spider weaving a web.

White spider silk weaves a fine protective net between the crevices of the rock wall.

This is a spider-controlling technique that even adult Bone-Eating Lizards struggle to master.

"Mother, this is for you..." The cub's hoarse, childish voice held a cautious, ingratiating tone as it pulled half a piece of hard bread from its fluffy fur: "I found it in the storeroom, and it's not spoiled yet."

"Who wants your filth!"

Ah Jin kicked a pebble away, but the tip of her tail paused slightly as it grazed the cub's cheek, and she said in a low voice:

"If I see you near the female cave again, I'll tell the chief you're stealing food."

The cub bit its lower lip in grievance, its big eyes welling up with tears, and ran away sadly.

She watched its retreating figure, her ear tips trembling slightly.

Only by keeping it away from oneself can one survive in this cannibalistic tribe.

Ah Jin huddled in the cold cave, carefully taking out half a dried sage.

"Your Majesty, we beg you to come and save us."

She murmured to the sage, her voice as soft as a spider's silk:

“I have delayed for too long, and Nirro’s suspicions are growing stronger.”

"Those sisters' bodies can't hold on any longer, and Xiao Tao, who is seriously injured, might not make it through the night..."

She recalled the gradually brightening eyes in the female cave, and the trusting looks in their eyes as they drank the medicine, and her eyes welled up with tears.

“I’ve been fawning over that beast every day, enduring his humiliation, all for this day. If only you could save me from here…”

Her nails dug deeply into her palms:

"I'm willing to pay any price, even if it means being tormented by spider venom again, even if..."

The heavy footsteps of patrolling lizard soldiers could be heard outside the cave.

Ah Jin suddenly fell silent, stuffing the sage into her mouth and chewing it up.

The bitter juice mixed with the smell of blood spread.

She silently repeated the ancient rat tribe prayer in her heart:

May the moonlight illuminate the path ahead, and may the winds of freedom sweep away the prison.

After she finished praying, she took a deep breath and forced her stiff body to sit up.

The mouse's ears perked up again, and its tail swayed in a fawning arc.

Saintess Ajin transformed back into the servile, white-haired female.

But deep down, a glimmer of unprecedented hope is taking root and sprouting.

Perhaps, this time we can truly find salvation!

Saintess Ajin is one of my favorite characters. She is gentle, strong, and intelligent; no hardship can defeat her.

Su An'an's path to becoming queen is ignited step by step.

Destroy the darkness and bring them light.
