No, this human couldn't possibly be pretending to be innocent! Don't come over here! Seriously, stay away! But, well, the human's smile is kind of nice.

The surgical scalpel flashed, showing Xiaobai its sharpness.

The great Snow Wolf King, firmly held on the operating table by the Zerg creep, was about to lose his… you know.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaobai. My technique is very good. Although this is my first time, I believe in my talent! You should say a proper goodbye to them."

Wait, what? I'm fine!

Xiaobai finally understood; he had been misdiagnosed. What a joke! As a snow wolf, a noble race, how could he possibly be sick?

"Woof! --" (Human! I'm fine! Let me go!)

"Hmm? You've already said goodbye? Alright then, I'll begin."

"Woof!!!!" (I'm fine! Don't come over here!)

At that moment, Xiaobai understood one thing: the woman before him was truly black-hearted. With the knife in her hand and a hellish background added, she was a veritable devil incarnate!

So scary!

"Empress, it seems we're out of anesthetic? What should we do? Should we just forget about it?"

"Hmm! Kaka, how can we! For Xiaobai's health, this surgery is necessary! I believe! Xiaobai is a noble snow wolf! A royal, even! He can definitely handle it! Even if other doggos can't, Xiaobai definitely can."

"Yes, Empress, Kaka understands!"

Acting! Keep acting! So dramatic! Does this human underestimate the great Snow Wolf King? But there is one thing you said right! I, Xiaobai, can definitely persevere!

Come on! I can do anything! Do whatever you want!

You can play with me all you want!

Wait a minute! What are you doing with my leg! Not there! Stop! Stop!

No! No! Human, not there!

I get it now. This black-hearted human wants to take away my… you know! That's not allowed!

Damn it! You're a newbie! Argh! You say it's for my own good, but look at yourself! Look at how happy you are! Your pearly whites are blinding me!

No! No, please!

"Woof—Wooo!" (So cold! The knife is so cold!)

"Kaka, is this the right spot? I haven't made a mistake, have I?"

"No, Empress, that's the spot. Yes, and this needs to be cut off too. Ah! Empress! You cut it wrong!"

"What? What should we do? Will Xiaobai die?"

"No."

"That's good." The dog breathed a sigh of relief.

These two claimed they weren't giving me anesthesia, but they actually did. I can't feel a thing. Maybe this human is a good person after all. I was supposed to be buried with my last owner.

Come to think of it, this human treats me pretty well. At least her feet are delicious. It's just a pity she doesn't have big boobies.

"But, Xiaobai won't be able to pee standing up anymore."

"That's fine. It's not a problem." Lin Mo said with a nonchalant expression.

!! Not a problem, my ass! I take back everything I just said! This guy is a newbie! No! I need a more offensive word than "newbie"!

"Woof! Woooo!"

"Woooo!"

Lin Mo and Kaka exchanged glances. A certain little hand began to aim with malicious intent.

'Woooo! Awoo—!'

The whimpering stopped abruptly, replaced by a heart-wrenching scream that could move mountains and rivers. For a moment, he even broke free from the Zerg creep's restraints.

————

Blankness. His mind was blank, with only the image of his… being peeled playing over and over again.

Gone… It's really gone…

My fiancée from the clan… I promised her I would come back to marry her after the war… What do I do now? Become sisters together? No! No!

There's still a chance. Before they decompose, I can still stick them back on!

"Awoo!" (Human!)

Ah, it pulled at the wound. So painful.

Tears of humiliation welled up in his eyes. Wuwuwu, human! I'll remember you!

Damn it!

From that moment on, the snow wolf clan's first eunuch wolf was born.

With no she-wolf in my heart, my paws strike with divine power!

"Long Ye, take good care of Xiaobai. I'm going back."

"Yes, Empress."

Back in her personal tent, Hawke had been waiting for a while.

"Pfft, what happened to your face? Don't tell me you got beaten up by those guys?"

Faced with Lin Mo's teasing, Hawke didn't react. With a fanatical expression, he knelt on one knee and said in an unprecedentedly serious tone.

"...Your Majesty, how did you do it! Those guys used to be beaten down by me every day. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but today I was beaten to a pulp by those brats." But there was no anger on his face, only excitement!

Thinking that his years of cultivation were not as effective as the Empress's modification, he felt a bit bitter for a moment. However, the thought that this was all the power of the kingdom eased his mind.

"Hmm, from the looks of it, you seem quite satisfied, aren't you? But, are you really willing?"

Lin Mo didn't seem happy. She pursed her lips and sat down.

"Willing? Your Majesty, your old servant is ignorant and doesn't understand your meaning."

"You don't think power comes without a price, do you? If you want to retain your consciousness, you'll have to live several decades less. So, those guys' lifespans are already running out. At most, they have five years left. Without their consciousness, it's about the same. In five years, they'll become something like zombies."

Silence—

Quite a while passed before Hawke spoke. What had he gotten himself into! A devil! She was a devil! A devil who could control life and death at will!

Indeed, what could he bring to the Empress? Although it was cruel, it was undeniable that the kingdom now had high-end combat power that could make the great empires wary. At least safety could be guaranteed.

"Yes."

"You didn't actually believe that, did you?!" (ಡwಡ)

"...Your Majesty, please don't joke with your old servant. My…"

"I'm serious."

"...**￥#@!"

No, the Empress is just amusing herself. Endure it, but…

What does a powerhouse like the Empress really want?

That's right! Food! The Empress's first request was to try the kingdom's cuisine! Yes, that's it!

"Your old servant understands, Your Majesty. We will soon arrive at the royal city. I know a very good café. I wonder if Your Majesty has the time…"

(✪▽✪) "Go!"

Lin Mo wasn't too interested in anything else. Using the Zerg Overlords to search for restaurants was too inconvenient. It was easy for the Overlords to find weapon bases, but finding food? Wasn't that just torturing the Zerg?

"...Yes." Although the process was similar to what he had imagined, wasn't the Empress a little too unreserved?

Won't you get a split personality if you switch so quickly?

Is it really okay to fall for it so easily? But the result is clear now: the kingdom seems to be saved!

Unless the café explodes today!

He shouldn't be that unlucky, right? Haha! How could that be!
