Chapter 2051: Circumstances Reversed  

The Second Prince couldn't understand at all. Yu Yanluo had the Heart-Devouring Demon Spider within her; it could hatch at any time, and if it did, she would be completely controlled by that monster. Then, she would have to do whatever it made her do. Even if she had to do the most humiliating things, she could only obey the order.

However, the Second Prince had always appreciated Yu Yanluo’s cooperation. Furthermore, turning such a beauty into a walking corpse just seemed like a waste. That was why he had been more lenient, only using the poison to control her and not directly activating it.

After all, he figured there was no reason for her to go against his wishes. Perhaps she didn't fear death, but if she had to continue living as a walking corpse, being an incredibly stunning woman, there was no way she would be willing to experience that.

Did this woman go mad?

Everyone watching from Primeval Iron City was horrified. They quickly aimed their weapons at the army below, ready to attack at any time.

In this moment of crisis, the Second Prince’s subordinates could no longer keep up the act. They all took out weapons from the stretchers and prepared to defend.

The Second Prince cursed all of them for being idiots. At first, he could still have tried to talk himself out of this situation even after what Yu Yanluo said, but now that his soldiers had already drawn their swords, it was too late for anything else.

Sure enough, when he saw that, the Peacock Wise King’s expression grew cold. He immediately gave the order, “The Second Prince has committed treason and colluded with the enemy. Execute him!”

Soon after, the giant crossbows and catapults bombarded the army below with attacks. Furthermore, brilliant lights of many different colors rushed at the Second Prince as the cultivators on the city walls sent their techniques flying.

In order to pretend to be wounded, the Second Prince’s soldiers hadn't brought that much equipment. Now they had to suddenly fight, and as a result suffered tremendous damage. Many soldiers from the city immediately cheered when they saw that. Only Kong Nanwu looked at the beautiful woman below with a bit of worry. Yu Yanluo was clearly being blackmailed, and yet had still alerted them at a crucial time. The only fate that awaited her was probably death.

When she thought about Yu Yanluo's relationship with big brother Zu, Kong Nanwu quickly tugged on her father’s sleeve and said, “Father king, we must find a way to save the Medusa Queen!”

The Peacock Wise King sighed and said, “She is currently insid the enemy camp. The Second Prince is a famous general, and has a lot of powerful experts under him. How can we save her?”

How could Kong Nanwu not know about that? She bit her lip so tightly blood almost came out. magic The Peacock Wise King consoled her and said, “Since she made the decision to alert us, the Medusa Queen has clearly prepared to sacrifice herself. We cannot fail to live up to her expectations, and must firmly defend Primeval Iron City for all the Fiend races.”

“But...” Kong Nanwu wanted to say something else, but the Second Prince’s retaliation suddenly arrived from beneath the city. A large amount of soldiers at the front of the city immediately collapsed. When the Peacock Wise King saw that, he immediately rushed out to provide assistance.

There was nothing Kong Nanwu could do. She could only watch Yu Yanluo's beautiful figure with worry. Even though she was considered talented among her peers, in front of a regular army, it wasn’t much at all. There was no way she could save Yu Yanluo.

The Second Prince commanded his army to siege the city. As he watched his subordinates experience bitter casualties, he looked at Yu Yanluo with seething rage, exclaiming, “Why?!”

Yu Yanluo said with a calm expression, “Do you think I should have tricked them to let you into the city instead, so you could lead the Fiend races into eternal damnation?”

“I naturally know you wouldn’t want that. What I'm asking about is, why did you dare to do such a thing? Have you not thought about the consequences?” the Second Prince hissed with a dreadfui expression.

Yu Yanluo didn’t reply, and turned back to the sealed land instead; her gaze was full of reluctance.

The Second Prince said with a nasty grin, “In that case, then, you can’t blame me for doing this!”

Immediately after, he took out a whistle and blew an ear-piercing sound. It was the whistle that activated the Heart-Devouring Demon Spider eggs. When he saw Yu Yanluo’s beautiful appearance, he still felt a bit of pity. In the end, this incredible beauty was going to turn into a walking corpse...

However, when he thought about the losses she had brought him, he immediately became more convinced of his decision. As a famous general and someone of tremendous ambition, even though he liked women, he wasn’t perverted. He definitely wouldn’t let women get in the way of his real mission.

This was the only time he had needed to do something like this, as well as the time he had to pay the most bitter price.

Soon after, Yu Yanluo clutched her chest with a pained expression. Her entire body bent over, as if she could fall at any time.

The Second Prince watched her coldly.

You brought all of this upon yourself!

Yu Yanluo groaned in pain, but suddenly, she stood up straight again. Her expression became a bit empty.

The Second Prince knew that the Heart-Devouring Demon Spider had successfully controlled her. He sighed a bit in relief.

Hmph, I’ll send you to seduce the influential figures of the Fiend races to bring them over to my side...

Now that the Heart-Devouring Demon Spider parasite had taken root in her, he didn’t dare to touch her for fear of being unknowingly affected too. Even though he was collaborating with the monsters, he still didn’t completely trust them either. He still had to maintain a degree of wariness. After dealing with Yu Yanluo, his subordinates had already escorted Little White and Little Blue over. The two young ladies had more or less seen what happened from the back, and they now saw Yu Yanluo’s current condition and understood the situation. They couldn't help but sob bitterly.

When he looked at the two tear-stained young beauties, the Second Prince thought to himself that these two young ladies were quite the feast for the eyes, and it would be a waste to kill them. He’d just use them to seduce more bigwigs as well. However, the Heart-Devouring Demon Spider poison was extremely precious, and he couldn't bear to use it on them. He had more than enough other methods to keep them under control. Thus, he ordered his subordinates to withdraw their blades and restrained the two young ladies first, then turned around to command his soldiers in battle.

Suddenly, however, there were a few muffled groans behind him. He immediately became alert and dodged to one side. However, his shoulder was still struck by a fist, making him spit out a mouthful of blood. He sensed that his body had begun to petrify. The Second Prince stared at the exceedingly beautiful woman behind him, exclaiming in shock and anger, “You weren’t controlled?”

Yu Yanluo stared at him with glowing golden eyes. The faint smile on her lips really did add a bit of beauty to the bloody battlefield. She replied, “Why, should I have been controlled?”

“That’s impossible! I personally fed you that Heart-Devouring Demon Spider back then!” the Second Prince cried out in shock, using all of his cultivation to try and fend off the Medusa Eye.

“It's all because someone gave me a body-protection talisman to ward off parasites,” Yu Yanluo said, thinking back to how Zu An had warned her to be careful again and again like an old female servant. A warm smile appeared on her face.

In the past, after Zu An witnessed the viciousness of the Heart-Devouring Demon Spider, he had become worried that his sweethearts would be schemed against, so he'd used the knowledge of the Baopu Sutra and researched how to defend against these parasites using talismans, working with Yan Xiangu. However, because these talismans required extremely precious materials, they couldn't be produced in large amounts, so he could only give them to a few people.

“Even so, I already destroyed all of your protective talismans!” the Second Prince exclaimed, sounding shocked and furious. He was no fool, and had used all kinds of methods to destroy her protective treasurers before feeding her the poison.

“You thought you were a step ahead, but Ah Zu was five steps ahead,” Yu Yanluo replied. When she thought about her lover’s wits, her grin grew even bigger. “He was worried that I would encounter similar dangers, so he gave me two kinds of defensive talismans. The one on the surface was there to numb the enemy and make them careless, while the true talisman was inside me. It didn't produce a serious reaction when the bug entered, and instead secretly eliminated it.”

When she recalled how her lover had fed the protective charm to her through a kiss, her cheeks turned entirely red.

Hmph, I was definitely not the only one he gave this talisman to. He probably did it like this to the other women too... freeweb novel.co m

When he heard that, the Second Prince was stunned. After some time, he laughed out of helplessness. “The regent is the bane of my existence after all. I’ve been defeated several times at his hands.”

The Peacock Wise King called out, “Second Prince! You have committed treason and colluded with the enemy. Die!”

He had always been observing the situation, and thus saw Yu Yanluo retaliate. How could he let such a great chance go? He immediately attacked. As long as the leader was taken down, the remaining soldiers would be much easier to deal with. Kong Nanwu wanted to save Yu Yanluo, so she also flew over.

The Second Prince revealed a strange smile, remarking, “Did you really not think I might have been baiting you over?”
