Chapter 62 Chapter 62 The sensitive dog ears reacted violently. ...
Beelzebub condensed a wisp of demonic energy into a silver needle and stabbed it into the corpse's forehead, causing a few dark blood beads to spill out.
He shook his head at Lin Miao.
...Not the Second Prince.
According to common sense, it is highly likely that Queen Barbara was silenced because she witnessed the king casting a spell on the second prince, or because she discovered something strange about his death.
But the body in the royal mausoleum belonged to someone else. If the Second Prince had truly been killed by the King using the Life-stealing Technique, given his cautiousness and reverence for life, there was no reason he wouldn't have placed the body here and suppressed it with the Light Formation.
Thinking of the king's unusually young and fresh face, and the claim that it was a "trick" cast by the great wizard for him, Lin Miao came up with a bold guess.
She carefully inquired, "Is there a spell... that can take over someone else's body?"
"Miaomiao thinks the king didn't absorb the Second Prince's 'life' and chose to directly occupy his body?" An Wei immediately followed Lin Miao's train of thought and supported her idea. "Very likely. The Life Stealing Spell can be used a number of times. The caster has suffered the backlash of the evil spell for years and must be in urgent need of a fresh body."
"It's just that," the demon paused, glancing at Beelzebub with a cold gaze, blatantly interpreting the words "eye drops," "possession can be mastered by humans, so the barriers in some places are worse than non-existent."
"How do you know this magic was leaked from Hell?" Mammon twirled the jeweled ring on his little finger, his chin slightly raised. "It's not just the human world that loves to steal."
An Wei smiled faintly: "You're always trying to save his reputation. Is it because trash can sympathize with each other?"
Mammon's right cheek muscles bulged, his nostrils flared, and his masseter muscles exerted force, forming a distinct arc.
However, the fiery demon remained calm. After a few breaths, he turned his gaze towards the human girl and explained dryly, "Ms. Lin, it would be extremely difficult for a few humans to obtain high-level secret techniques. There's a high possibility that Heaven is involved..."
"Just ask and you'll know who's actually involved." Explosive amounts of information collided and merged in his mind.
Lin Miao's mind was a little confused and needed to be sorted out, but she vaguely realized that she was taking a big step towards the truth of that year.
She said calmly, "A living person's mouth is always easier to pry into than a dead one, and a dying person is even easier to pry into. Wait until the Hunting Festival, when the king is on his deathbed, that will be our best opportunity to interrogate him."
"We've explored almost everything we need to here. Let's get out first."
The tomb chamber was restored to the way it was when they first came in. The man and three demons retraced their steps and returned to the entrance of the mausoleum.
The angel statue slowly closed, and Lin Miao stood beside An Wei and thanked the two demons.
"Lord Beelzebub, Lord Mammon, we are in great need of your assistance tonight. Lord Anwei, let us return to the palace."
"Lin..." Beelzebub and Mammon spoke at the same time, but were interrupted mercilessly by Anwei.
A smug smile graced the devil's handsome face, and he put his arm around Lin Miao's waist in a triumphant gesture: "Can't you hear what Miao Miao said? Thank you both for your hard work. We'll be heading back first."
Black fog suddenly rose.
In the dark night, Mammon and Beelzebub stared silently in the direction where the human lady disappeared, wondering what they were thinking.
After a long moment, Mammon's hand touched the mask on his left cheek.
"Not too bad, right?"
Rather than asking his colleagues, it was more like talking to himself.
Beelzebub's normal gray eyes widened slightly, and his pupils turned unsmoothly like rusty gears. Faint traces of water flashed in the indifferent and thick gray haze.
He clutched his cloak tightly, his knuckles turning blue from the strain.
Maybe he was answering a colleague, or maybe he was just talking to himself.
"At least... I saw it."
*
Of course, it was impossible for Lin Miao not to notice the overt and covert pressure from the two friendly foreign players, and An Wei's emotions and reactions were too easy to understand.
After all, he was her own dog, so Lin Miao planned to stroke his fur before sorting out her thoughts. However, she had never expected that after bringing her back to the palace, carrying her to the bed, and restrainedly kissing her hand, An Wei would actually leave her room like that.
And closed the door.
Lin Miao: "..." The shock in his heart was no less than hearing the king say that he was a good man who loved his people like his own children.
She felt that she had a bit of an evil character that made her ask for trouble. Since he didn't provoke her, she wanted to tease him instead.
Well, after all, her initial mission target was only the three-headed dog.
Lin Miao happily convinced himself and reopened the door.
An Wei was no longer in the hall; he had left quickly. Naturally, a demon's speed was no match for a human's.
If he insisted on hiding, she would certainly not be able to find him.
But unfortunately, the dog couldn't really bear to stay away from his owner, so within five minutes, Lin Miao found him on the terrace on the third floor.
The demon stood quietly behind the railing, his back to her. His long, interwoven black and red hair was tied up loosely, the ends swaying gently in the evening breeze like fine silk.
No matter which of the three brothers, Cerberus always maintained his demeanor well.
His back was straight as a tailor, his shoulders were broad and stretched, and his profile lost its wildness and sharpness in the moonlight, revealing a different kind of elegance than before.
She didn't believe that Anwei would not notice her movements, but the devil was of the same lineage as his brother, always trying to use stillness to overcome movement; as if because she took the initiative, it was reasonable and forgivable for him to do something extraordinary or kneel down under her and do something.
She has to get paid for it.
Lin Miaoxiang approached him and circled a bunch of An Wei's long hair. "Lord An Wei."
The devil turned around, and as his empty and unfocused eyes fell on her face, they automatically became sticky and transformed into clamoring love, wanting to get close and wanting to possess her.
"...Why is Miaomiao here?" An Wei frowned disapprovingly, but the overwhelming joy in his heart, which made him panic, was unstoppable. He was almost breathless.
"You'll catch a cold."
"I should be the one asking you this. Why did you just leave?" Lin Miao said dissatisfiedly.
"Miao Miao is thinking about something, I don't want to disturb you." An Wei explained in a low voice.
...He also didn't want Miaomiao to see his ugly appearance when he was truly dominated by his nature of 'jealousy' and 'greed'.
"Lord An Wei." Lin Miao, oblivious to his inner thoughts, called out again in a clear and serious tone. "As my newlywed husband, isn't it your duty to sleep with me?"
Newlywed husband, what a beautiful word.
An Wei liked this word, even though he knew in his heart that it was one-third, or perhaps just a false one-third.
"I'm sorry..." He said this, uncontrollably attracted by her gentle breath. He half-knelt down and buried his beautiful face in her belly. "I'm sorry... I'm sorry."
"Please punish me, Miaomiao."
"There's no need for punishment." Lin Miao lowered his eyes to look at the top of his head, and said in a coaxing tone, "Lord An Wei, I've seen your tail."
"So, what about the ears?"
The real purpose is revealed.
The demon looked up in surprise, with a light crimson color spreading under his eyelids.
"Ears..." Her smiling eyes made him quickly understand what she meant, and the crimson color became even brighter, like rouge spread by water.
The demon turned its head sideways and struggled for only two seconds before a pair of dog ears suddenly popped out from the gaps between its overlapping hair.
...It's simply an enlarged version of his childhood.
The tan fur was like suede warmed by the sun, with a layer of short, dense hair covering the entire ear from base to tip. The earlobes were as wide as her palms, with natural wavy folds at the edges.
Dog trainers have no resistance to big dog ears! Lin Miao's eyes lit up and he stretched out his claws.
She first tentatively touched the tip of her ear, and the soft hair on the tip made her fingers itchy.
Next, slide down along the edge of the outer ear, rolling your fingertips over the furry folds behind the ear. The hair there is even fluffier, like a cloud of cotton wool, and a gentle pinch will make it sink a little.
She deliberately made a heavy circle at the base of the dog's ears, and then stroked upwards from the opposite direction of the ears to smooth out the disobedient long hair.
Sensitive dog ears react violently.
The blush spread unrestrainedly under the cover of brown, and her ears trembled with her movements. When they were tickled at the base, they swayed violently, sticking up sharply to reveal the softer fur on the inside.
The hair there is lighter in color, beige-brown, and you can see tiny blood vessels faintly visible under the skin, like leaf veins hidden in a translucent leaf.
"Mmm...!" As the inside of the dog's ear was being toyed with, An Wei's head, which had been lowered, suddenly raised up, and a vague moan escaped from his throat. "That's not..."
"No?" Lin Miao moved her hand away, and saw the furry creature coming over and rubbing against her palm.
"That's not what it says."
She took advantage of the situation and pinched the fur to pull it to both sides. The demon's body arched, his chest heaved, his waist and abdomen tensed, and he leaned forward unconsciously.
"You look like you're enjoying it." Lin Miao's voice came faintly with a smile, praising, "They're so cute..."
She casually suggested, "Your ears are perfect for earrings."
Earrings… The devil, completely lost in the frantic pursuit, grasped the key words. He half-consciously wondered, was this what she wanted to see?
His good brother Errol really liked to wear all kinds of earrings, on human ears, on dog ears, but he was never keen on fancy ones.
But it doesn't matter.
From now on, this is what he likes.
…
The night before, Lin Miao had a thrilling cemetery exploration and a joyful experience of touching dog ears, and he slept until noon without any surprise.
When her newlywed husband saw her wake up, he gently kissed the corner of her lips, helped the human lady put on an exquisite court dress, and let her touch and rub his body.
An Wei's good mood lasted until Lin Miao finished lunch, washed his hands, and told him that he was going to meet the Fourth Prince.
demon:"……"
His mind told him that Lin Miao had said yesterday that she liked his ears, and that she and that human were only in a temporary partnership; his emotions told him that this was no different from asking the "first wife" to meet his lover in front of him. If he could control his dark and negative emotions, would he still be jealous?!
"If you want to follow me, just follow me." Lin Miao didn't think that he could stop following the devil just because he told him not to, so he just let him go. "Watch your sight, don't be too obvious."
The human walked briskly towards the back garden of the palace, leaving the resentful demon torturing his "lover" thousands of times in his heart. In the end, he quietly followed his wife from a distance.
The bright golden hair of the fourth prince looked even more vivid under the sunlight. The young man was wearing a white shirt embroidered with silver thread and navy blue trousers, standing under the tree in a daze.
It was the palace's seven-day holiday, and there were no guards on duty in the back garden, making it the perfect time for her to have an affair with her ally...
Ugh, let’s discuss the timing of cooperation.
Lin Miao held his forehead, thinking that he must have been brainwashed by An Wei's theory of husband and lover, which was why he had such a weird idea.
The young man felt someone approaching and turned his head suddenly. When he saw it was her, his honey-like eyes curved into crescents in an instant, revealing a warm and refreshing smile.
"Good day, sister-in-law."
Lin Miao was dazzled by this innocent and naturally handsome face. He thought to himself, no matter how white and black it is, it still looks white. Isn't it human nature to be attracted to this sunny and handsome look at first sight?!
"Good day, Your Highness the Fourth Prince."
Lin Miao returned the greeting and said bluntly, "I came to you this time to discuss the specific details of our cooperation."
"Since we have reached a cooperation, you don't have to call me Your Highness anymore." The Fourth Prince blinked. "Just call me Alwen."
Lin Miao was stunned for a moment, then followed suit: "Alwen."
Perhaps he hadn't expected Lin Miao to respond so quickly, so he swallowed his prepared remarks without hesitation. The smile between Alwen's eyebrows became more genuine. "So, sister-in-law, do you have any plans?"
"It's our joint plan," Lin Miao corrected, then immediately gave a powerful dose of information. "I hope you can continue to give the king drugs that will confuse his mind and cause him to hallucinate over the next few days."
"In return, I will obtain the Griffin Token of the Tam Knights from the Great Prince."
The Knights of Tam are one of the most powerful legions in the Kingdom of Krez. They only obey the orders of those who hold the Griffin Token and are also the most powerful bargaining chip for the eldest prince to seize the throne.
"...Drug the king?" Alvin's honey-brown eyes widened, and he looked at Lin Miao in disbelief, "This..."
"I know you can make this medicine." Lin Miao said calmly. Alwin's mother knows medicine, and Alwin is also very familiar with various medicinal materials.
...If it weren't for the light magic circle, she wouldn't be able to use magic and wouldn't have to resort to such a roundabout method.
"Or, you don't dare?"
"..." Arwen opened his mouth and hesitated, "It's not a question of whether I dare or not..."
"So you still have feelings for him and can't bear to let him go?" Lin Miao raised his eyebrows.
If she could still understand it before, after knowing that the man had taken the lives of countless relatives just to stay on the throne as an immortal, Lin Miao could only laugh.
The so-called son is just his moving blood bag.
"Don't forget your ambition, Arwen. At least, don't forget your mother."
