The Villain Princess survived the Imperial Riot

The Palace of Filthy Life.

The White Jade Lady in front of him was not yet a true rebirth. She was still incubating a ritual. This cave should have been the place for her revival, but something unexpected happened, forcing her to face encirclement and suppression in a less-than-perfect state.

"Leave me? No, I want you to stay." Madam Baiyu looked down at everyone with compassion and opened her arms. "You will feel fear, but this is a normal emotion. Mayflies cannot witness the four seasons of the year, so they naturally avoid things that they cannot understand. But join me, and you will eventually understand what a great miracle this is—"

After that, all the coffins in the cave flew out, and corpses covered with fungus rose from the coffins. They immediately pounced on the Iron Army soldiers, and the scene was suddenly filled with chaos with swords and gunfire.

Iyana remained unmoved.

The hurricane made of rocks reached its peak at this moment, pouring down from the sky towards Madam Baiyu.

It was a violent speed, enough to tear steel into pieces.

Madam Baiyu opened her arms to welcome the attack. The endless wind and sand made her flesh and blood a mess, but she recovered even faster. While she was still enduring the baptism of the wind and sand, new bright white flesh and blood grew out immediately.

"Back then, when Rafa opposed my research, he held the 'Lance of Annihilation' against my forehead. I honestly thought he wanted to kill me."

Madam Baiyu spoke softly as gray-black fungal fluid gushed out from her spine, casting a layer of gloom over her fair body.

The bacterial liquid splashed down indiscriminately. The sentinel falcon, which had no time to avoid it, suddenly screamed once it was contaminated. In just a moment, it became a living corpse without a soul.

"To prevent the great path from being lost in the dust of history, I can only resist... But, Rafa's gun is empty. He simply hopes that I will 'return to the right path,' but what does it mean to be lost? His vision is too narrow to see the call of truth."

Its sound repeatedly holds a magical power, inspiring all who listen to it to worship and immerse themselves in it. A fear of death, a desire for eternal life, and a longing for happiness arise spontaneously.

"Your Highness, it's time for us to go!!!" Chloe pleaded again. She used spider silk to wrap herself up, and her left arm flashed to the right, continuously harvesting the heads of the dead.

However, she was unable to kill the undead creature at all, and could only cut off each of its joints, making it unable to move.

"Iyana, can you solve it? Don't be so stubborn."

Hestia remained unmoved. She stood behind the High Knight, determined to have the High Knight die first.

"I can only temporarily trap it, but I can't affect the soul protected by its body," Iyana said. "It's only this ritual away from achieving the state of enlightenment. Even if a high-level knight of the same level were present, it would be difficult to destroy that immortal body."

"Can't I use secret techniques to limit my self-healing ability?"

"It protects itself within its shell, making it difficult for ordinary mystical arts to penetrate its interior," Iyana frowned. "If it were to become a persistent being, leaving behind an eternal beacon, I'm afraid only divine arts could kill it."

"Divine magic? The Yunling military has a judgment left by the Divine Emperor..." Major Knight said, "But that's the ultimate defense against the Tailan elves. Isn't it a bit of an overreaction to use it here? I'm afraid the general won't allow it."

Chloe roared, "One-third of Cloudtop City's population has been infected and become its source of power. If we let it out, do you know how many people will become zombies?"

"They're just mortals, trying to stop the killing by killing." A fierce look flashed in the Major Knight's eyes. "Furthermore, if you use divine punishment, Cloudtop City will also be reduced to ashes."

Chloe was so frightened that she stopped talking immediately.

I am the living devil!

Hestia was also troubled. If she didn't kill him, the filthy creature would be born. If she killed him, the vengeance would take advantage of this bloody storm to further intensify...

wrong!

She is no longer a princess of the first generation, and Qiu Su can no longer bewitch her as a witch. Even if he takes it a step further, it seems to have no effect on her.

I don't know what's going on with Clara. If I can eliminate Qiu Su, I can just give it a try and let Huisheng and Yunling's 100,000 iron soldiers fight each other to see what they are capable of in their full strength.

If Huisheng escaped, he would have to build another zombie kingdom with millions of undead in the future. A small sacrifice of Yunding City's interests now could prevent a greater hidden danger.

"Be careful, Your Highness!"

The tall knight shouted and punched the whistle falcon that jumped out of the shadows.

The sentinel falcon was infected and turned into a zombie, its gray-black blood flowing all over the tall knight's body, but the latter just shook off the blood on his fist and remained calm.

Once the plaque comes into contact with the skin, it quickly stops spreading, disappears and fades away under the blessing of the High Knight.

"Your Highness, please leave first. I will try some other methods." Iyana said softly.

"No, everyone else go out. You and I will stay here." Hestia gazed at the White Jade Lady's magnificent, holy, yet twisted body and asked, "As long as her shell is broken, you can penetrate her soul, right?"

"Things related to it are everywhere here. As long as its soul is exposed, I can use these media to cast a spell and throw it into the River Styx."

"That's good. I also happen to have a secret technique that I want to test to its limits." Hestia smiled and said, "Cooperate with me."

"Your Highness, this is not the time to joke!" The two high knights were the first to panic. "Your Highness, with the body of a celestial dragon, how can you put yourself in such danger! If Your Highness stays, we will not leave Your Highness even if it costs us our lives!"

Hestia glared coldly. "Does this princess need you to teach me these things? If I dare to stay, I will naturally have a way to deal with it. If you want to die so badly, then just run headfirst into that monster's belly."

"Your Highness...this..."

"Get out of here now! Don't you even know what an order is?"

"……Yes!"

The tall knight's face was ashen. He drew his dagger, slashed open his chest, and drew out a stream of his spiritual essence. At the same time, he prayed to the Divine Emperor, casting a shadow of his protection upon the princess. For a moment, his complexion was as pale as death.

The High Knights are not the Paladins of the Church of Radiance. They are better at killing than guarding.

Therefore, his move was to use his blood essence to transfer the blessing of the High Knight's blood lock to the princess, so that he could truly die before the princess.

After doing all this, he left the cave silently.

"Your Highness, then I will also..." Chloe hesitated.

How cruel!

She is not willing to sacrifice her own life to protect the princess!

"You get out too." Hestia said to the deserter in a bad mood.

"Your Highness, take care. May your military fortune flourish!"

Chloe was like a nimble jumping spider, disappearing without a trace in a few seconds.

After everyone left, Iyana softly inquired, "What does Your Highness intend to do? I heard from Knight Commander Clara that you embarked on your path with the assistance of Noelle Tinson. Therefore, even if you have a secret technique to counter the White Jade, you must be extremely careful when performing it."

"No matter what, you'll protect me, won't you?" Hestia nuzzled the elf's ear, countless dark lines appearing on her skin. "The soul within Bai Yu's body hasn't completely merged yet. You'll tear it apart completely later, and then... I know how to weaken it."

Volume 69: Dreamer: . The Princess in the Honeypot

The jade-like bodies of the mountains stood tall, and Madam Baiyu formed seals with her eight arms. The gate to the dark forest cast by the dream was wide open, seemingly very far away and yet very close. The earth rumbled and trembled, and the towering body finally moved forward.

"Do not fear, do not hate, do not resist. Feel the arrival of immortality within you. When you glimpse the truth, you will realize how foolish and ignorant your past resistance was." Madam Baiyu recited aloud, as if inspired by a heavenly voice. "The body is a shackle, the soul a barrier. I will give you eternal love. From now on, you will be me, and I will be you."

As she chanted with sacred solemnity, the flowing rocks gradually gave rise to grey-black mycelium and fungi, which then gathered together to form a human-like skeleton.

The humanoid skeleton unconsciously sang a joyful and pious song: "The skin of the weeds wears my crown and clothes; the life of the living, revitalizes my soul——"

Iyana pointed to the sky and whispered, "The sun is shining brightly on the moon."

In an instant, the violet moon in the night sky seemed to brighten a little, and a ray of golden light burned down from the cracks in the cave ceiling. The endless glow that dispelled evil spirits purified all the corpses that were rushing towards it. The bacterial plaques that were endlessly growing just a moment ago suddenly retreated, avoiding the moonlight as much as possible.

"Fear makes you reject the truth..." Madam Baiyu took a step back and quickly stood facing the glow. She said in a mysterious tone, "But there is no need to be afraid. I am here to eliminate your pain and sorrow. Serve me, join me—"

"Join! Join! Join! Join! Join!"

"Hey! Huh! I asked!"

The fungi in the cave came alive, as if millions of people were shouting in unison.

"Fear? Why should I be afraid?" Hestia asked back.

"Because of suffering, everyone suffers. Everything they seek is unattainable, and I am here to eliminate your suffering."

"I can't get what I want?" Hestia sneered. "What do you think Lorraine Herbosus can't get?"

"Power, money, the path, eternal life, worship me, and I will free you from the worries of seeking."

Madam Baiyu closed her eyes, her jade skin cracked, and suddenly gold, silver and jewels containing rich spirituality gushed out from the jagged cracks. Those gold coins were engraved with intricate patterns, lighting up the long road of dreams. There was actually more than one way to ascension.

Hestia laughed even more contemptuously:

"In terms of power, I am the Imperial Princess, the successor to the Grand Duke of Lorraine, and the future head of the Southern Parliament. In ten years, no one in the secular world will be able to surpass me, not even the Emperor.

"In terms of money, the Lorraine family has been passed down for two thousand years, and the accumulated wealth is enough to rival a country. Even the Church of Radiance needs Lorraine's support to maintain its operations.

"Speaking of the path and eternal life, I am a descendant of the Divine Emperor. As long as the Heavenly Dragon is alive, even if I cannot survive in this world forever, I should continue to enjoy glory in the Divine Emperor's Kingdom. And you—

"Where are you from, a Dalit, to be able to talk to me about desire?"

Madam Baiyu opened her eyes and stared at the tiny silver-haired princess beneath her: "..."

"As for being happier, haha, I'm living with my own maid right now," Hestia said, taking Iyana's slender waist in her arm, thrusting her sword diagonally into the sky. "And you, a loser who even killed your partner and couldn't reconcile despite all your evil magic, a stray dog. In my opinion, you're the one I want but can't get."

"..."

"Your Highness, now is not the time." Iyana's cheeks flushed, and she almost couldn't maintain the secret technique. She asked in a low voice, "What is Dalit?"

"It means untouchables." Hestia explained patiently.

"Foolishness!"

A loud shout erupted from her body.

But it was not Madam Baiyu who opened her mouth, but a head that came out of her abdominal cavity, Maxime Vallee.

He was half asleep and half awake, sometimes serene, sometimes furious, as if struggling between a sweet dream and a nightmare. He roared, "If you dare to question the truth, you will face the pain of being abandoned by the truth and perish forever!"

"Hehe, please let me suffer a little longer. The Lorraine family has so much gold that it could be used to pave the floor tiles. As for immortality?" Hestia continued to sneer. "You're a worthless person with organ failure who can only survive in this way. I can give my dog ​​a rare potion that can make it live to 200 years old. Who do you think you are?"

"Kill her!"

Suddenly, countless cruel noises came from Madam Baiyu's abdomen.

"Kill her! Kill her! Kill her!!!"

"killed……"

Under the influence of countless voices, even Madam Baiyu's originally compassionate eyes were covered with a layer of scarlet.

"This is the allure of the fungus's 'assimilation.' Baiyu thought she could embrace everyone, but she couldn't completely assimilate them. The final step of the Filthy Life Ritual is to completely transform these souls into puppets, or even make herself a part of the Filthy Life, ultimately becoming indistinguishable from each other," Hestia said. "But now they still have independent selves. Baiyu thought she could control them, but in fact, she was already under the allure."

"Then Your Highness, what should we do?"

Iyana softened the ground and trapped Madam Baiyu's steps, while at the same time radiating light to form a shelter to block bacteria and viruses.

Madam Baiyu was too clumsy, and the secret arts she had learned were even more mediocre. Her creations made of flesh and blood alchemy collapsed in the blink of an eye in front of Iyana. The only difficult thing about them was their bewitching effect on mortals and their nearly immortal healing abilities.

It still faces the dark forest door, the distance between time and space closing in. This is both the dream gate from the blessed life to the undead life and a metaphor for the material world.

The distance between them was the barrier set by Iyana. Once Madam Baiyu broke through the barrier, all the infected people in Cloudtop City would be affected by it, and they would naturally ascend to heaven, step through the door, and become a natural disaster.

"Protect me."
