These words made Lumina suddenly look up at her in surprise, her pupils moving slightly, and she uttered three words after a while.
"You're crazy!" This woman really dared to say that she had a vicious plan!
Although, she did think so, Lumina coughed lightly and explained calmly.
"Even if I were the only one left, my tyrannical methods would still lead to resentment and resistance from the royal family, which would only be counterproductive, as elves are mostly kind and believe in peace. For someone as brutal and bloodthirsty as me to become the Elf King would be seen by them as a more serious situation than having no heir to the throne."
“Tsk.”
Upon hearing this, Sheng Wu tutted in disdain, "You elves are so foolish. Mermaids and dragons are both developing rapidly right now. They're not necessarily kind. What can a kind king do? Only the brutal and cruel are suitable to protect them."
"Anyway, it's not possible to just kill Hogami and the others. At least the Elf King is still alive."
Although Lumina knew that, the facts were before her.
Sheng Wu loosened her hands around her chest, supported her chin instead, and changed her train of thought.
"Since the Elf King values the interests of the elves the most, then you should find a way to either have Hogami rebel and usurp the throne in advance, or... deliberately lead him to collude with foreign tribes."
Lumina stared calmly. "You think I don't want to? But Hogami has been trained by the royal family to be the next Elf King. He's not like those two fools, the eldest and second princesses. You saw it too. Hogami actually figured out our prank the other day, but he still went shopping with you, deliberately doing you a favor. It shows how cunning he is."
Even though Hogami later left with the lame excuse of having something urgent to do, he actually knew the two people's intention of playing a joke when Sheng Wu took him to the third store. However, he didn't say anything. He just looked at their actions and suspected something. In the end, he gave each other face and left with the excuse of having something urgent to do.
How could someone who is trained to be the heir of the Elf King not see through this little trick?
Sheng Wu raised her eyebrows and did not comment on her words. Obviously, she also knew that Hojami did it on purpose that day, but he was willing to continue acting, so why should she spoil his fun?
"What about the eldest and second princesses?"
Lumina paused and gave a pertinent answer, "Their stupidity doesn't match their scheming."
Sheng Wu raised her eyes and frowned slightly. This sentence was both stupid and playful.
"The eldest princess and the second princess were both spoiled by the queen. They have arrogant tempers and are hostile to me. They look down on my existence but resent me and are always looking for trouble with me. What's more, they are both stupid and like to make trouble." Lumina explained. She knew what Sheng Wu meant by her question.
"I'll start with both of them."
Sheng Wu stared at her intently and couldn't help but ask, "How far can you go with this?"
From the moment they met, Lumina had shown some scheming, some treachery, and some coldness, but her true determination had never been revealed.
Lumina listened to her words and knew what she wanted to ask. Her emerald green pupils were slightly half-closed, and her expression was slightly rippling, like floating ice. After a few seconds of silence, she finally opened her lips.
"kill!"
Lumina's pupils suddenly lifted up and met Sheng Wu's beautiful, light-colored eyes without warmth. Compared with Sheng Wu's viciousness and ruthlessness, she was even more cruel and vengeful.
No one could know what she had been through and what these people had done to her time and time again.
"Lumina, let me teach you a second lesson."
Hearing this, Sheng Wu smiled slightly and lowered her head. The smile was meaningful. She sighed lightly, then slowly stood up and walked to Lumina's side.
She slowly leaned over and raised her hand to caress Lumina's delicate elf profile. Her beautiful eyes curved, filled with coldness and viciousness.
“Never be soft-hearted, even to the person you love.”
"Those few seconds you hesitated just now were enough time for others to take advantage of your soft heart and kill you countless times!"
After a pause, Sheng Wu directly closed the five fingers of the hand that was pinching her neck.
“Just like now!”
"Um!"
Lumina frowned, and she raised her hand to pry open Shengwu's joints, but she didn't expect that her power as an elf could not shake her at all!
"You see... you believed me and thought I wouldn't kill you, so you gave me more than one chance to grab your lifeblood."
A cruel and malicious smile played on Sheng Wu's lips, and the strength in her hands continued to tighten without any reduction.
"Tell me, if I kill you and suck all your blood, can I peel off your skin and disguise myself as you to sneak into the Tree of Life, drain all the blood of the elves and gather it into a formation?"
Lumina listened to her words, her emerald green pupils trembling violently, filled with surprise and murderous intent.
"Hey, you, you dare!"
She struggled to breathe, her throat choking, making a slightly hoarse sound as she glared at Sheng Wu.
She hated the Elf King and those members of the royal family who had oppressed her mother, but that didn't mean she hated the elves! On the contrary, since she wanted to become the Elf King, she must protect the elves.
I will never let Lillian do this!
Seeing the murderous look in Sheng Wu's eyes, Lumina couldn't help but curl her lips and sneer at her, her emerald green pupils gleaming with coldness and cunningness.
"You simply won't kill me. Didn't you guess that I needed you to support Lucius? You knew that person could only be you. Coincidentally, I also know that you need my blood, and only mine! What you said about disliking other royal bloodlines is all fake."
Otherwise, Lillian wouldn't have tried every possible way to poison her in order to restrain her!
Obviously, idiots like the eldest princess and the second princess are easier to control.
Hearing this, Sheng Wu looked at her with a slightly raised eyebrow and a playful expression.
"Except for not being ruthless enough, I don't need to teach you anything else."
After saying that, the tense atmosphere suddenly subsided, and she let go of the hand that was holding her neck.
"call......"
The moment the feeling of suffocation disappeared, Lumina quickly took a step back, maintained a safe distance, and rubbed her neck uncomfortably with her hand, her eyes still warily staring at the woman opposite who was going crazy from time to time.
There was a circle of quite obvious red marks on her fair neck, obviously because Sheng Wu had just used too much force.
"I won't care about your specific plans. Whether you can climb to that position depends on your own ability. The most I can do is to keep you alive while you donate blood to me."
Sheng Wu lazily brushed past Lumina, her cold and charming eyes revealing a hint of evil.
"You have to live well."
Her crimson lips curled up slightly, and she glanced sideways at Lumina who was clenching her fists behind her, then walked away.
Lumina clenched her knuckles tightly under her sleeves, her emerald green eyes filled with ambition and desire for power.
"The one who will survive to the end..."
