"Lady Kaguya, Bolt and the ogres have surrounded the shrine, threatening the lives of the witches and the residents of the town, demanding our surrender, or else... or else we'll hand them over to the ogres..."

A blood-soaked samurai stumbled in and told Kaguya the news that everyone least wanted to hear.

"Lord Kaguya! Please don't worry about us... Ah!!!"

Kaguya cared about only two things in her life: her god and the witches who grew up with her. Now that her god had abandoned her, the witches became the most important thing in Kaguya's heart. Immediately, Kaguya stood up from her seat, which she had never left, and walked out of the shrine!

Sure enough, the witches who had been captured by Bolt on the city wall appeared in front of her. When they saw Kaguya walk out so unguarded, they cried out in surprise. But before they could finish speaking, the ogre holding them tore off their clothes with a savage grin and began to ravage them right in front of Kaguya!

Upon seeing this scene, Kaguya immediately shouted, "Stop! If you can promise not to hurt them, I'll surrender."

"Very good! I like someone like you who knows when to back down! Tie up Lady Kaguya! Throw everyone else into the dungeon!"

P.S.: This chapter is what I left over from yesterday, to ensure I can continue updating on the 29th. Tomorrow is the funeral; we'll see you after that.

Chapter 33, pages 33-30

As Kaguya surrendered, Bolt immediately gave her a strange smile, as if he hadn't expected taking down the Third Fortress and Kaguya to be so easy!

Upon receiving Bolt's order, the mercenaries behind him pounced like wolves, tying up Kaguya and all the witches behind her! As expected, a bit of roughhousing was inevitable!

Lynch was also one of those involved in the binding. After defeating the Knights, they merged their forces and marched straight here. He sighed again at Kaguya's brainless behavior, saying, "First there was the brainless Grand Princess, then there's the brainless Kaguya! You think Bolt will treat you kindly if you surrender? Think again!" However, Kaguya was much more decisive than the Grand Princess; at least she didn't wait until these witches were being brutally beaten by the ogres before surrendering.

"Boss! We've run into some trouble at the City Lord's Mansion. Those knights who escaped earlier are using the City Lord's Mansion as a base and are putting up a fierce resistance. The Knights' vice-commander is a top-tier third-tier knight. None of us can hold them off except you. We've already lost quite a few brothers!"

Just as Bolt finished capturing Kaguya and the witch, a mercenary covered in blood rushed over. The knights who hadn't been completely wiped out earlier had caused the mercenary group considerable trouble. This made Lin Qi sigh in admiration; no wonder they were the invincible knights, still putting up a stubborn resistance even in this defeat! That was the proper attitude of resistance! Unlike Kaguya and the eldest princess, who surrendered before anything even happened!

But perhaps it's because male knights know that surrender means death, while female knights feel good about surrendering...

"Sot Squad! You stay here and keep an eye on Kaguya! Once Samukha brings the things over, hand her over to him! The rest of you, come with me!"

Upon hearing that there was still resistance, and from third-tier professionals no less, Bolt's expression immediately turned grim. Third-tier professionals were few in the mercenary group; most were second-tier, so they naturally couldn't defeat third-tier knights. Bolt glanced at the completely suppressed shrine, hesitated for a moment, then ordered Soter's team to stay behind while he led the rest to the city lord's mansion to provide support! The battle here was over; now they just needed to wait for Samukha, who seemed to be nowhere to be found, to come and collect his reward. There was no need for so many people!

Upon hearing the order, Lin Qi was overjoyed. "This is giving me an opportunity!" he thought. Lin Qi had been pondering how to maximize his own gains. So far, he hadn't achieved anything in this attack on the Third Fortress. His primary target, the player who had previously been with the general, was nowhere to be seen. His secondary target, Kaguya, was under so much scrutiny that he couldn't act rashly. He had planned to wait for an opportunity to get to Kaguya first, but now the opportunity had arrived so quickly!

"Captain Soter, I've heard this witch is quite something. Should we try her out first? If we wait until we hand her over to Lord Samhaza, I'm afraid..."

As soon as Bolt left, the other members of Soter's team didn't need Lynch's encouragement to speak up. They had been following Bolt for a long time, and their personalities were gradually becoming like Bolt's. They wanted to have sex with any man they saw, especially those who were of high status and good-looking. Kaguya undoubtedly met all these criteria!

Lin Qi did not participate in the discussion, but instead took two steps back without making a sound, getting closer to the shrine gate.

"Alright, let me go first then..."

Soter's gaze at Kaguya was equally intense. After hesitating for a long time, he finally nodded. As one of Bolt's confidants, he also knew about Bolt's deal with Samukha. Samukha only wanted Kaguya to cultivate Gu worms. Samukha didn't really care whether Kaguya was a virgin or not. Bolt once inadvertently said that Samukha's male abilities were actually gone.

"Who is it, and where is it!"

Just as Sote was about to complete Kaguya's first kill, Lynch, who was at the back of the group, suddenly exclaimed and chased after her out of the shrine gate before anyone could react!

"Hey! There's someone else here! You two go check it out!"

Sote and the others were all taken aback and immediately lost their interest in having sex with Kaguya. Sote rushed to the entrance of the shrine and just saw Lin Qi chase after them to the grove next to the shrine and dive right in!

Upon seeing this situation, Soter hesitated for a moment and instead of rushing out recklessly, he sent two of his men to check what had happened.

"what!"

A moment later, two screams rang out from the grove. Soter was horrified and instinctively shouted into the grove, "What happened?!"

"Princess! It's Princess Alicia! She's here!"

Lynch's voice, full of surprise, immediately rang out, once again showcasing his Oscar-worthy acting skills to the fullest.

"The three of you stay here, the two of you come with me to check!"

Upon hearing Princess Alicia's name, Soter's expression immediately turned serious. He gave an order to the remaining mercenaries and then led two of his men into the grove.

Sort had just left with two of his men when Lynch burst out of the woods, covered in blood. The three mercenaries left behind were startled. Although Lynch looked terrible, he was surprisingly fast, crashing into one of the mercenaries and shouting in a panicked manner, "Help me! Princess Alicia is behind me!"

P.S.: I've seen some readers criticizing the male lead in the book reviews. Let me clarify: this book features an extremely evil male lead, and the author also has a somewhat twisted and dark side. Various forms of drugging, coercion, kidnapping, and blackmail will occur, including father-daughter relationships and multiple women. I'm giving you this heads-up, so please, those who are not comfortable with this, refrain from reading. The author is sensitive; if you can't accept this, you don't have to read it, but please don't insult the author, especially regarding family matters. Let's enjoy reading in a harmonious atmosphere. Thank you for your cooperation.

Chapter 34 34

"Princess!"

Sure enough, as soon as Lin Qi finished speaking, the eldest princess appeared in everyone's sight. The three of them immediately wanted to rush up, but unexpectedly, the eldest princess activated the knight's charge skill first, and immediately clashed with one of the mercenaries. The other two immediately wanted to support the attack.

"you……"

However, the mercenary Lin Qi bumped into didn't have a chance. While his attention was drawn to the princess, Lin Qi's shadow dagger had already pierced his heart. Lin Qi didn't give him a chance to talk. With a twist of the dagger, he directly shattered the mercenary's heart. Without even glancing at his opponent, he turned around and activated the jets on his 3D Maneuver Gear to deal with another mercenary who was preparing to besiege the princess. Lin Qi didn't believe that this first-tier random mercenary had his heart on the other side like the dark elf girl.

The eldest princess has become Lin Qi's contracted slave, no, contracted creature, so her strength has been forcibly pulled up to the first level. It's okay to let her restrain the enemy, but it's basically impossible for her to kill him.

The mercenary who was besieging the eldest princess obviously did not expect Lin Qi to launch a sneak attack. Lin Qi activated his jet attack immediately and rushed to the back of the enemy. Before the enemy could react, the Shadow Dagger pierced the enemy's heart again, completing an instant kill!

"You actually betrayed Lord Bolt!"

The remaining mercenary, who had been excitedly planning how to play with the captured princess after discovering she had suddenly become a complete weakling, was shocked to find himself the only one left alive! He immediately roared angrily at Lin Qi!

"Don't be ridiculous, I have never been loyal to him."

Lin Qi stepped on his shadow, activated Shadow Step, and transformed into a black shadow, appearing directly behind him from the front. This time, Lin Qi did not choose to stab him in the back, but instead held the dagger to his throat, answered his question with a mocking tone, and then cut his neck.

"Damn it! Damn it! My strength can't even kill a first-tier mercenary!"

Having almost instantly killed the three mercenaries who remained behind, Lin Qi immediately turned his attention to the eldest princess. The eldest princess was now his private property, and if she were to get her oil stolen or have her face scratched, it would be a huge loss! Fortunately, although the eldest princess's attributes had dropped to the bottom, her combat skills were still intact, and she had not suffered any damage. She was just constantly complaining about how easy it was.

"Whatever strength you need, I will protect you. You are my woman. Go back and rest."

Lin Qi touched the eldest princess's chest—oh, no, he touched her head—and casually said something to her. Before the eldest princess could even speak, her face flushed red with emotion, whether from Lin Qi's actions or his words, and she was immediately taken into the Dark Bible.

"Lady Kaguya, I am an envoy of the Seven Shields Alliance. There is no time to explain. Sot will be back soon. I will take you away first! Does this shrine have a secret escape route, or a secret room unknown to others?"

After putting away the eldest princess, Lin Qi explained to Kaguya and looked warily outside the shrine. The reason Lin Qi didn't attack Soter was that Soter was a second-tier mercenary, and a direct confrontation would be difficult and thankless. From previous experience, Lin Qi knew that these mercenaries were extremely poor, and killing them was completely pointless and risky. Therefore, Lin Qi decisively used a feint to lure Soter away and then returned as quickly as possible to take Kaguya away. After all, Lin Qi's only target was Kaguya.

Of course, another reason for keeping Soth around was to put pressure on Kaguya, making her feel that she had been rescued, but was not completely safe.

"Behind the statues in the rear hall, there is a secret passage known only to me, leading to a secret shrine dedicated to the gods, but..."

As expected, Lin Qi's psychological tactics worked. Kaguya subconsciously told him the biggest secret of the shrine. Kaguya obviously wanted to say something more, but Lin Qi didn't give her the chance. He didn't help Kaguya untie the ropes binding her, but instead hoisted her onto his shoulder and walked towards the statue in the back hall that Kaguya had mentioned.

The apse was like a confessional, an empty hall with only a statue in the deepest part that had strange wings and looked like an angel, but had no facial features.

Just as Kaguya had said, after triggering the mechanism behind the statue, the statue immediately moved aside, revealing a dark passage. Lin Qi immediately crawled inside, and the statue returned to its previous position, blocking the passage.

“Once we enter this passage, we’ll be safe. No one in the entire shrine knows about this except me. If we go straight ahead, we’ll reach the secret shrine. Inside the secret shrine, there’s a path leading to the cliff behind the mountain. We can leave from there.”

After entering the passage, Kaguya seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and leaned on Lin Qi to explain.

"That means absolutely no one will come, that's good, that's good."

Lin Qi raised an eyebrow, and a series of unpleasant thoughts began to grow wildly in his mind. He put Kaguya on the ground and laughed strangely.

What are you going to do?

Kaguya's face turned cold as she stared at Lin Qi expressionlessly. A smile appeared on Lin Qi's lips. Conquering this zombie-like face was quite fun, after all, she would show completely different expressions during *that* time!

Faced with Kaguya's questioning, Lin Qi didn't speak, but instead reached out and touched Kaguya...

P.S.: I haven't slept for the past two nights, but I slept all afternoon. I'm not feeling very well right now. Let me adjust my condition today. I'll post two updates first, and then another one at 12 o'clock.

Chapter 35, pages 35-1

In the pitch black, a lone man and woman were alone in a deserted passage. Kaguya was bound and powerless to fight back. It was obvious what Lin Qi was planning to do!

Without a doubt, Lin Qi originally intended to take Kaguya on the spot. With Kaguya, the little princess waiting to enter, and the eldest princess already in the lineup, there would be just enough to unlock the second seal of the Dark Bible. You ask why I'm so sure Kaguya is a virgin? Isn't that obvious?! She has a seal on her...that prevents her from even urinating! Wait! How has Kaguya been urinating all these years?

"Hush, silence."

However, just as Lin Qi's claws were about to grope her breasts, Lin Qi's ears suddenly twitched. With a swift movement, he covered Kaguya's mouth with his hand. Looking into the distance through the dark passage, Lin Qi's hearing had been specially trained, and he had just heard other people talking. Clearly, this passage was not as Kaguya had claimed, that only she knew about it.

Kaguya had initially thought Lin Qi was really going to force himself on her, and she was already prepared to pray for divine intervention. However, Lin Qi's actions suddenly made her pause. Could there be someone else? Impossible!

The passage leads to the Secret Palace, the true place of worship for the gods. It has been passed down orally from generation to generation of saintesses, and only when a new saintess is chosen will she enter to receive divine baptism and blessing. Kaguya's seal was obtained here, so how could there be anyone else in the Secret Palace?!

Lin Qi scooped Kaguya up in his arms and, like a cat, silently made his way to the secret sanctuary from which the sound had come. When light appeared, Lin Qi hid in the shadow of a rock and peered out, where he could see the center of the sanctuary.

The secret hall was not the luxurious temple Lin Qi had imagined. Instead, it was a circular room filled with magic circles. The lines of the magic circles were outlined with flowing gold, which made it look magnificent.

In the very center of the secret hall stood a wooden cross. A humanoid creature with strange wings but no facial features was nailed to the cross. Lin Qi recognized it at a glance. This humanoid creature was the prototype of the stone statue outside. However, this creature looked even more disgusting. It did not resemble the angelic feeling given by the statue. Instead, it looked more like a demon that crawled out of a sewer. Its skin was covered with sores and signs of decay. Its wings looked as if they were pieced together from human remains!

None of these things truly surprised Lin Qi. What surprised him was that standing in front of this humanoid creature was none other than the previously unseen Samuhaza!

"Eat, eat, my darling. Once you've eaten it, you'll possess the potential of a god. I've already found a goddess for you. Kaguya, who has believed in this for her entire life, will be your goddess! You'll soon be able to descend again and become a new god, a god surpassing all gods, and I will be the priest! Hahaha!"

Samukha was extremely excited, staring at the humanoid creature and roaring wildly. Following Samukha's gaze, Lin Qi noticed that something seemed to be moving rapidly in the humanoid creature's abdomen, just like... the movement of a baby!

Based on what Shamuhaza said, Lin Qi immediately realized that the Gu worm that Shamuhaza had been cultivating had eventually been planted in the back door of the Gathering, and had emerged as a spider-like creature with a baby's head! Could that disgusting thing have been cultivated from this creature?

"You dared to try and steal my power! I will kill you! Damn it! My power! Roar!"

The creature nailed to the cross roared madly, but because it had no mouth, its voice was very muffled, as if it came directly from its throat. Clearly, its power was being absorbed by the Gu worms in its body. In its rage, a golden light burst out from its body, and the faint image of a golden angel appeared above its head. However, this seemingly awesome golden angel disappeared after only one second!

"How is this possible! How could my power have been so severely depleted! It was you! You must have done this!"

"Although I don't know where you came from, you're just a wretched creature clinging to life. You've already been parasitized by my Gu worms. After absorbing so much power for so long, you can't exert much strength at all. Be consumed by my children as nourishment."

The humanoid creature, having failed to resist, immediately roared, but this time, in addition to anger, it also showed a hint of fear.

Samukha smiled at him disdainfully, which confirmed the guess of the humanoid creature.

“I am a great god! I can grant you even greater power. Now, expel this disgusting worm from my body! I will forgive your sins, otherwise…”

Samuhaza's words silenced the humanoid creature for a moment, then his voice suddenly became clear and carried a hint of holiness. If Lin Qi hadn't seen his disgusting appearance with his own eyes, he would never have connected the two.

PS1: Bad news! Due to the reckless driving and reckless behavior of the trainee drivers and passengers in the group, I didn't expect the group to crash before I did. The group has been downgraded to three stars and can no longer be found through group search. Just wait for it to be restored…

PS2: Thanks to reader 【jiamenhenniu】 for pointing this out. I've been reading Black Beasts for 20 years and I never realized it wasn't a witch, but a sorceress! My eyes must be blind! By the way, let me just say, jiamenhenniu (is your family really that powerful?), how powerful are you...? Since you're so powerful, please give me a 10 VIP reward...

PS3: It's the beginning of the month, how about some support... tips, flowers, reviews, monthly tickets, book reviews, and the best book reviews are those that praise my purity.

Chapter 36 36

"Alright, go ahead and fool those brainless priestesses with your nonsense. I saw through you long ago; you're just a sealed-off special creature. Speaking of which, you're quite capable, pretending to be a god for so many years, making countless generations believe you're a fallen mortal god. That stupid woman Kaguya even dedicated her entire life to this, and even rejected my marriage proposal! Hmph, she should really see what kind of thing the god you worship is!"

Even an idiot wouldn't believe such words, so naturally, Shamuhaza wouldn't believe them either. Shamuhaza interrupted the humanoid creature's threat with a cold smile.

I never expected there to be such a melodramatic plot between Shenmuhaza and Kaguya. But love turning into hate is all too normal. Men can be terrifying when they go crazy for women.

Kaguya had been petrified since the beginning, staring blankly at the conversation between Shenmuhaza and that creature, completely unresponsive. The thought that the true face of the god she had believed in all this time was such a thing must be driving Kaguya to the brink of collapse.

That wasn't all; what Samukhaza said next made her tremble instantly!

"By the way, that seal below her used to gather vital energy was also your doing, wasn't it? I'm afraid it will offer itself to you once the vital energy matures, becoming a cauldron to restore your strength. Is that the secret behind every Holy Maiden disappearing in her twenties and being replaced by a new Holy Maiden?"
