I am on the Ark, a succubus, pure and innocent.

Master bedroom on the second floor.

Bai Yue sat at the table with a laptop in front of him, writing a task report.

"Almost all residents of Chernobog branch city survived... Reunion Movement cadre Mephisto ordered the atrocities, the following photos are evidence... The Guard has now recaptured the headquarters building... Mephisto suffered a magical backlash and is now dead; Faust has lost his will to fight and has surrendered, and is being held by the Guard..."

"..."

After Bai Yue finished writing the report, she checked the details, confirmed that everything was correct, and sent the report directly to Rhodes Island.

"Ugh~" Bai Yue stretched and yawned, then turned her head to look at Shuangxing standing in front of the French windows, her gaze full of doubt:

"I was just about to say this: what are you standing there looking at?"

Frost Star remains silent.

Bai Yue got up and walked to her, looked at the night sky outside the window and the shimmering lake under the light of the two moons, and said strangely, "There's nothing there."

But Frostnova remained silent.

Bai Yue licked her lips, secretly sensing her emotions through the Holy Mark.

Hmm...it seems to be a sense of melancholy?

What's causing your melancholy?

Bai Yue leaned forward and tilted her head to observe her expression.

Her gaze was distant, as if looking into the deepest depths. Her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she only sighed and lowered her eyes to quietly look at Bai Yue.

Bai Yue blinked, tilted her head, and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Frostnova finally opened her mouth and whispered, "Mephisto, did you kill him?"

"Ah, is that it?" Bai Yue's eyes lit up with understanding, then she asked, "Did I kill him?"

"Ha~" Frostnova sighed, closed her eyes, and said in confusion, "Was that me? Was it because I saw that he had a chance to escape the Guard Bureau building that I chose to respond passively? Did my hesitation kill him?"

“No.” Bai Yue said firmly, taking her cold hand in his, and said seriously, “It wasn’t me, nor was it you, but him. He chose this path himself.”

"His cruelty and tyranny backfired on him."

"Is that so?" Froststar looked out the window again, then suddenly asked, "Can you tell me what orders you gave to those crossbowmen in the end?"

Bai Yue didn't hesitate and honestly replied, "Revenge, catharsis, those are the only four words I have."

“Revenge, catharsis.” Frostnova repeated, then gave a self-deprecating laugh: “Intimidate your enemies, warm your comrades. Do you know who said that?”

"I don't know." Bai Yue shook her head slightly.

Froststar placed her hand on the window, as if she saw something through it, and said:

"I don't know either, but Talulah did say that we should bring fear to the enemy and hope to our fellow countrymen. She said that would be the way the Reunion Movement operates. Ha, now it seems ridiculous, doesn't it?"

"really."

Bai Yue nodded honestly, then complained:

"With someone like Mephistopheles in charge, you're all completely rotten. I'm really curious how you manage to maintain combat effectiveness at the grassroots level. There's no way there won't be rebellions every few days."

Faced with the facts, Frostnova was unable to refute them and explained, "I don't know. The cadres in the Reunion Movement lead different teams, and they have their own different styles of operation. We don't interfere with each other."

Bai Yue chuckled: "What a primitive organizational structure. So the Yeti squad from last time was all the subordinates you could command?"

Froststar's face stiffened, clearly recalling unpleasant memories, and her voice carried a hint of reproach: "They are not my subordinates, they are my most important brothers and sisters. Otherwise, do you think you could have taken me down that night?"

"really."

Bai Yue gave her a serious squeeze on the shoulder and laughed:

"I can feel the immense power within you, it's like it contains the entire winter. If we really fight, my magic will probably be like it was with Patriot that night, it won't have any effect on you, and you'll just have to slink away."

?

Froststar tilted her head, puzzled, and asked, "You ran into my father?"

“Yes!” Mentioning this, Bai Yue instantly became enthusiastic, pulling her to a nearby easel and roughly sketching the scene from that night with a paintbrush, saying with great pride:

"We met at this street corner that night, and I was holding you in my arms."

Froststar's lips curled into a smirk: "Then why didn't he kill you?"

Bai Yue put one hand on her hip and said cheerfully, "He did want to, but when his halberd was still a fraction of a second... well, very close to my head, Sister Gui blocked his attack with her shield. Although I could have dodged it myself at that time."

"Heh, that's a real shame." Froststar rolled her eyes at him. "And then what? You actually managed to escape from my dad? Did you use me to threaten him?"

"Tch, what kind of person do you take me for!" Bai Yue rolled her eyes at her and continued, "After covering my comrades' retreat, I grabbed you and jumped to the building next door, and then..."

"Wait a minute." Froststar interrupted him, speechless. "Isn't this a threat? If you hadn't been holding me hostage, my dad would have pinned you to the wall with a javelin."

"No way." Bai Yue made an X with her hands and said smugly, "He was controlled by my ability at that time and didn't have time to stop me."

Froststar nodded suspiciously. Yes, that's certainly possible; this guy's magic is indeed quite powerful.

Then he asked, "And then what? You just kidnapped me like that, and my dad didn't chase after me?"

"Of course we went after them!"

Bai Yue's smugness was practically overflowing. Finally, the important part! He quickly sketched a tall warrior and the silhouette of a boy cradling someone in the shadows, using his decent drawing skills, and then raised his chin.

"See? That's what happened. I sent out a fake body, and your dad chased after it without even noticing that I was hiding not far from his feet. Haha, I waited until he was far away and then took you away."

Froststar's expression at that moment could only be described as speechless. Forcing herself to regain her composure, she asked one last question:

"Then what did you do to me afterwards? I could sense that the power you used when you commanded me wasn't magic, but a deeper form of coercion. I was powerless to resist it. Can you tell me why?"

Bai Yue pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "It's alright to tell you. After we took you onto Rhodes Island's spacecraft, you suddenly developed a severe withdrawal reaction. If left unchecked, it won't be long before you become a bomb, um, the super powerful kind."

“I’ve tried everything, but I can only delay your death.”

Various methods... Froststar's eyes glazed over, and her tongue moved unconsciously in her mouth, as if she could still taste that sweet flavor. It's outrageous, how can someone's saliva be sweet?

"Then, having no other choice, I used my unique technique on you, [Stigmata]."

"【Stigmata】?"

The lake-blue and gold-trimmed curtains were drawn, and the ornate carved double doors were closed.

Bai Yue tugged at the hand-woven rope by the door twice, and the light from the crystal chandelier above her head changed, becoming dim and soft, which made the snow-white velvet blanket feel warm.

Froststar sat upright beside the four-poster bed. Seeing Bai Yue approach, she said coldly, "Is it necessary to make so many preparations just to look at a mark?"

Bai Yue raised an eyebrow and retorted, "This is my first time! How can it not have a sense of ceremony? It's like celebrating your birthday without eating cake—it's like you didn't celebrate at all!"

Froststar snorted: "Well, I'm really sorry. I was born in a mine and we didn't even have enough to eat. My parents saved up food to keep me alive. I can't understand your sense of ritual as a city boy."

Bai Yue chuckled: "Then you're quite lucky."

"What did you say?" Froststar's voice suddenly turned icy.

"Don't look at me like that." Bai Yue stepped forward and removed the ornament from her head, saying indifferently, "At least you have your parents. I've never met them."

"what?"

Froststar was a little confused, and a sense of guilt welled up inside her.

But soon, she glanced at the luxurious decorations around her, realized what she meant, and frowned, saying, "Don't make such tasteless jokes. Without your parents, could you afford to live in a house like this?"

"Oh, you said this."

Bai Yue glanced around the bedroom and then calmly said, "I'm not lying to you. This villa was a gift from Beatrice. This is my second time here tonight."

"Who is Beatrice? Is she your elder?" Frostnova asked, puzzled.

Bai Yue shook her head: "No, what are you thinking? She's my good friend."

"..." Froststar looked him up and down carefully, and nodded secretly. He was indeed good-looking, and had a boy's physique, which suited the fetishes of certain special enthusiasts.

She hesitated and said, "The 'good friend' you're talking about isn't the kind of guy who's 160cm tall, weighs 260kg, and makes you play weird games, is it?"

Bai Yue couldn't hold back and burst out laughing in exasperation. She grabbed Bai Yue's face with both hands, made a funny face at her, and said speechlessly:

"What are you thinking? I'm not that kind of person. Beatrice is just as good-looking as you."

A few seconds later, Bai Yue let go, and Shuang Xing regained her ability to speak, then retorted, "So you don't deny that you're being kept by a woman?"

"No way!" Bai Yue reached out and pushed her onto the bed, straddled her stomach, and unbuttoned her coat.

Froststar didn't care about his actions at all. Instead, she had a dark expectation. "You brat, you have no sense of boundaries. You'll behave when you touch the Originium. If you get infected, you might start crying and making a fuss."

Haha, how pitiful.

With this dark thought in mind, Frostnova spoke again: "How can it not count? In Ursus, noble lords provide their mistresses with accommodations and servants. You've simply switched the genders, I don't think it makes a difference, do I?"

"Not even close." Bai Yue said dismissively, "There are plenty of people who like me. Even if Beatrice wanted to keep me as a mistress, they would have to wait in line. I'm only accepting this villa to give her face. I wouldn't even want it if someone else gave it to me."

Froststar's lips twitched speechlessly. He paid money but didn't even get the job done. Did he have any business ethics at all?

Bai Yue ignored her expression and continued to undress her, her fingertips tracing the rough fabric: "Can't the Reunification Movement even get its cadres a few decent outfits?"

Froststar glanced at him uncomfortably: "The scarcity of supplies on the snowfield far exceeds your imagination. We can only do our best to take care of the majority."

"Heh, that's quite humane."

Bai Yue chuckled, climbed on top of her using both hands and feet, helped her up, and took off her coat and other clothes.

Soon, she was left with only a turtleneck sweater.

As Bai Yue continued his actions, Shuangxing's lips curled into a wicked smile. She was already waiting to see a good show; her already battered body was about to give him a surprise!

However, Bai Yue suddenly stopped moving.

Froststar frowned, a strange feeling welling up inside her. Her voice was laced with mockery: "What's wrong? Don't you want to see your masterpiece? Or are you afraid to look at my body, the body of an infected person?"

"Tch, who wouldn't dare to look?" Bai Yue pressed down on her shoulder to stand up from the bed, then lightly jumped off, waving her hand without turning her head: "Wait a minute, I'm going upstairs to get something."

Staring at the door that had been opened and closed, Froststar paused for a few seconds, then suddenly raised her hand and touched her neck. Unsurprisingly, she touched a bunch of hard things—Originium, Originium that could kill.

Froststar lowered her eyes, feeling a strange pang of sadness in her heart. Her body was indeed riddled with holes, deformed and ugly, so ugly that she even wanted to use it to frighten the child.

He previously stated that he was a doctor and had saved his life, so he must have been very careful about taking precautions.

Perhaps when he comes back, she will see him fully armed and dressed in layers of armor, checking the 'slave mark' he left on her.

Ha, will he be scared?

Would you feel nauseous at the thought of a woman who has kissed you?

They might be so enraged that they'd simply abandon themselves in the wilderness, leaving wild beasts to devour them. After all, most of these young masters can't stand anything dirty, so using drastic measures to eliminate themselves seems perfectly reasonable.

She had seen this kind of thing many times in Ursus.

But compared to having to unconditionally obey all of this child's orders for the rest of her life, she didn't really dislike this ending... really.

Just as she was imagining all sorts of tragic ways she could die, Bai Yue kicked open the door and came in wearing the same clothes she had left in, carrying a bunch of things in her hands.

Bath towels, several sets of clothes, hand towels, and even... underwear, plus some bottles and jars that looked like medicine.

Froststar was stunned. Wait, this isn't what I expected! It's one thing to dress like a masked monster, but why bring all this stuff in? Are you trying to give me a bath?!

Bai Yue threw the things onto the big bed, then climbed behind her and said with a grin, "Okay, I've got the things, now I'm going to take them off."

Froststar closed her eyes: "Suit yourself. I can't refuse your orders anyway."

"No, if you refuse, I won't continue."

Bai Yue reached out and hugged her neck, grinning as she asked, "So, do you agree or refuse?"

“I refuse,” Froststar replied instantly, her tone even carrying a hint of relief.

But Bai Yue said with a wicked smile, "Rejection is not allowed, Miss Shuangxing. Don't be afraid to seek medical help. Doctor-patient relationships should be more honest."

"Then why did you ask me?" Froststar's tone was laced with anger. Fine, fine, I gave you a chance. Since you didn't seize it, then just watch. You'll know you regret it after you see it!

"We need to have a sense of ritual, right?" Bai Yue teased, reaching out to pull her sweater off her head. Then, looking down, she was speechless.

Froststar sneered: "It's ugly, isn't it? Sorry, I've offended your eyes. Why don't you just kill me to vent your anger? Anyway, I'm an infected person, no one will blame you, right? They might even give you a hero's title."

"No, what are you thinking!" Bai Yue slapped her head speechlessly and exclaimed, "I just didn't expect the Holy Mark to be here. I thought it would be on my back."

"What!?"
