Chapter 251: Apas, the Mother Protector, and the Forgotten Concubine Bran
"Get up." Wang Feng raised his hand to support her, and the holy light flowing from his fingertips gently lifted Alice up.
He examined the new imperial maid with burning eyes.
Different from Apas's youthful girlish look, the Mother of Medusa in front of him exudes the unique charm of a mature woman.
She has the typical features of a Mediterranean beauty - her skin is as smooth as the moonlight on the Aegean Sea, her blonde hair is like flowing honey, and her voluptuous curves perfectly illustrate what "one more is fat, one less is thin" means.
The torn clothes left by the fierce battle just now actually added a bit of messy beauty to her.
The skin that was faintly visible between the cracks in the cloth had a pearly luster, and the lines of her long legs were breathtakingly beautiful.
Even her bare feet were as delicate as works of art, with her round toes neatly arranged and slightly curled up on the sand.
This is simply an enlarged version of Apas, but with a bit more charm that comes with time.
Wang Feng's Adam's apple moved slightly, and a fiery light flashed in his eyes.
Suddenly, Wang Feng felt a slight tugging sensation at the corner of his clothes.
He glanced sideways and saw Apas's puffy little face.
The girl's golden eyes opened wide, staring at him warily like a furry little animal, her slender fingers tightly grasping the hem of his robe, and her whole body exuding the hostility of "Don't bully the Queen Mother".
"What? You want to be a little warrior protecting your mother?" Wang Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of amusement in his voice.
Apas nodded vigorously, and the golden bells hanging from the ends of her hair trembled slightly, making a clear and crisp sound.
"Okay." A hint of mischief flashed across Wang Feng's eyes as he continued, "I promise not to touch Alice (for now). However, this depends on your performance."
The girl's delicate body suddenly stiffened, and her red lips unconsciously pressed into a straight line.
But soon, she took a deep breath, raised her little face and nodded solemnly——
(As long as I can protect the Queen Mother, I am willing to do anything!)
Alice lowered her long eyelashes, folded her hands in front of her stomach, and performed an ancient and elegant etiquette:
"Master, are you willing to move to the evil temple? There lies my deepest secret."
The evil temple she was talking about was the Temple of Dusk.
Wang Feng's eyes moved slightly, and he said lightly: "Lead the way."
"Yes, sir."
Alice turned gracefully, her long golden hair gleaming with a mysterious sheen in the dim light.
She led Wang Feng into the depths of the temple, and the exquisite relief murals on the walls on both sides gradually unfolded with their footsteps.
It is recorded above that the original Medusa was a group of human mages who specialized in the mind and curse systems and served as priests of the snake and scorpion ancestor.
Among them, Alice was chosen as a sacrifice, and completed her transformation in the belly of the snake and scorpion ancestor, eventually becoming the first generation Medusa.
This evil temple was built by Pharaoh Khufu himself after her transformation as her residence and a symbol of her authority.
As they went deeper, the end of the corridor suddenly opened up. In the center of the hall, a pitch-black snake-shaped throne stood tall.
Its shape is ferocious yet gorgeous, and every line on it seems to be wriggling like a living thing, emitting a chilling chill.
Two giant snake statues are coiled on the armrests of the throne. The snake pupils are inlaid with blood-red gems, flashing an eerie light in the darkness, as if they will wake up at any time and devour their chosen prey.
Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs are engraved behind the throne, recording secret information about the inheritance of the Evil Saint King.
"Master, the inheritance of the Evil Saint King and the throne of his subordinates are enshrined here." Alice introduced respectfully.
Wang Feng looked indifferent and had no interest in the so-called inheritance of the Evil Saint King.
His gaze lingered for a moment on the spacious throne—it seemed large enough to accommodate both Apas and Alice...
"How many of the Evil Saint King's eight souls have you collected?" Wang Feng suddenly asked.
"Eight Eight Souls?" Alice looked bewildered, a hint of confusion flashing in her golden pupils.
Wang Feng was silent for a moment, and finally understood why Medusa's mother had inherited the legacy of the Evil Saint King for a thousand years, but was eventually taken advantage of by Mo Fan.
It turns out that she knew nothing about the true meaning of inheritance.
"Forget it, the Evil Saint King is nothing special, not worth bothering about." Wang Feng waved his hand listlessly.
Alice instinctively wanted to argue, but when she thought about how even Khufu, who was closest to the realm of Hades, died at the hands of Wang Feng's sword, she swallowed her words of rebuttal.
"You should go and reorganize the Viper Empire first. After Xisina's death, your people are probably in chaos." Wang Feng ordered lightly.
Alice was slightly stunned. Although she didn't understand why the master suddenly sent her away, she still bowed obediently and said, "Yes, master." Then she left the hall.
After Alice's figure completely disappeared, Wang Feng pulled Apas over and pressed her on the large Medusa throne.
"What do you want to do?!" Apas's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, his golden snake pupils shrank slightly, and he instinctively wanted to struggle.
Wang Feng's lips curled slightly, and his fingertips gently stroked her soft cheek, "Didn't you say you would protect your mother? Now, it's time to fulfill your promise."
Apas's ears turned red and she looked around panically - the empty hall was silent, with only the ancient murals watching coldly.
"Why, you don't want to?" Wang Feng chuckled, his tone a little teasing, "Then why not let Alice come back? After all... she can't disobey my orders."
"No!" Apas grabbed his sleeve tightly.
…
Outside the Dusk Temple, Alice's face suddenly turned slightly red.
"So... is this the kind of relationship they have?" Alice murmured.
The Temple of Dusk originally belonged to her, so naturally, every move in the temple could not escape her perception.
"Well, Apas is so pitiful~"
…
The next morning.
Wang Feng did keep his promise.
After briefly instructing her to continue to lead the Serpent Empire, he returned to Cairo with Apas.
The girl's lips were still slightly swollen and had a faint blush.
She lowered her eyelashes and was unusually quiet along the way, not even daring to look Wang Feng in the eye.
They first went to the Cairo military headquarters to collect the remuneration that had been agreed upon, and then returned to the hotel where they were staying.
As soon as she opened the door, Heidi stood up from the sofa, her eyes moved between the two of them, and finally stopped at Apas's face.
"Wang Feng, you're finally back... Hey, Sister Apas, what's wrong with your mouth?"
"No, nothing!" Apas turned her head away suddenly, her voice rising unnaturally, "Maybe... I'm getting angry!"
"Getting angry?" Heidi tilted her head suspiciously. She felt that Alpas was acting abnormally today.
Wang Feng interrupted her inquiry at the right time, "The matter in Egypt is over, we should go find Concubine Bran."
Originally, Bran said she would only be away for a few days, but now nearly two months have passed.
Although we could still contact each other occasionally, she seemed to be in some trouble, and her tone was always filled with a hint of anxiety.
Teacher Bran!
Heidi was startled, then she suddenly remembered -
(Oops! I completely forgot about the teacher!)
