These three kittens were fine in every way, except they always managed to drag others down with them.
This whole situation was getting bigger and bigger.
"I... I didn't!"
Dolores said with a blush, waving her small hands.
"That's good then..."
Zhang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
She was a princess, after all, and had begged him for help to regain her throne just yesterday.
If something had happened that very night, the rumors would certainly not be about consent, but about him using the throne as leverage to force the princess to submit.
At that time, the accusation of taking advantage of someone's distress and being lecherous would be inescapable. kAnshuWu.ξà
"True God, please don't misunderstand. I said I was willing to give you everything and be at your disposal, and I meant it. My body and spirit will forever belong only to you."
"It's just... I've never done this before, and if I can't do something perfectly, I'd rather not do it at all!"
"But I will find a way to practice!"
Dolores said, biting her lip slightly, her face flushed.
It seemed her blush wasn't due to the matter itself, but her lack of experience!
How absurd!
"No, no, you can't just practice this. Focus on researching how to reclaim your throne first. Everything else can wait."
"And while you are very beautiful, I'm not that impatient with you..."
Zhang Chen said, his face a mask of dark lines.
"I understand. I won't delay the matter of the throne, and I must find out who is framing me!"
"However, from the perspective of who benefits, the second prince, who can ascend to the throne if I fall, is the culprit. This guy usually seems carefree, but I never expected him to be so cunning. I truly underestimated him!"
Thinking of the throne, Dolores's expression immediately turned solemn.
"Hmm? Master is awake?"
Miaoke woke up, rubbing her eyes. Her body, soft and boneless, leaned against Zhang Chen. Her face rested on his shoulder, her eyes filled with adoration and dependence.
"Yes, I heard you worked hard all night?"
Zhang Chen asked with a smile, pinching Miaoke's chin.
"It wasn't hard, not hard at all. As long as Master can recover quickly, any hardship is worth it."
"It's just that there are only three of us here. It would be even better if the Elf Queen were here. They know a lot and taught us many useful techniques last time."
Miaoke replied earnestly.
"Hiss... the Elf Queen... indeed very capable!"
Zhang Chen nodded.
"Why did I get sidetracked onto this topic?! My body has recovered, and I can set out for the capital!"
"It's a pity that I was looking for the man who awakened Xu Ruina. He should be in the library. Yesterday, after Marlana and Xiuyan had such a big fight, I guess this guy ran off long ago, and there's no trace of him!"
Zhang Chen frowned.
"The man from the library? What man?"
Dolores asked.
Seeing Dolores, Zhang Chen's heart skipped a beat.
That's right, she was a princess of the Valen Empire and must be most familiar with its affairs.
Especially someone who could extract the resurrected virus, they couldn't be ordinary, perhaps Dolores could offer some hints.
"It's like this..."
Zhang Chen recounted the situation in Shannan City in detail.
"What? The new Soul-lost was revived by this guy?"
"So that's how it is..."
After listening to Zhang Chen's account, Dolores's expression immediately turned grim.
"My army was attacked by Soul-lost before. These Soul-lost were completely different from the ones we had seen before."
"There were giant Soul-lost, six or seven meters tall, and also female Soul-lost who covered their faces and cried, capable of commanding ordinary Soul-lost!"
"These guys cooperated extremely well, otherwise, the elite guard of the royal family wouldn't have been defeated so easily by the Soul-lost."
Dolores clenched her fists, her face cold, as she recalled the previous battle.
"Giant Tanks and Wailing Women? They were revived too?"
"And it seems that guy has found a way to control Soul-lost from Xu Ruina's body, otherwise the Wailing Women could only command the Soul-lost to attack blindly, without any tactics."
Zhang Chen mused.
"I think... I know who this guy is!"
Dolores suddenly said.
