Beast King's Crippled Mate-Chapter 226: Aria’s New Old Maid (II)

"Calm down, it’s not that big of a deal," Aria chuckled. "Do you still remember the pendant I gave you the last time we met in the Holy Achate Palace? That pendant has been enchanted with witchcraft that will transfer the soul of the last person holding it to me. After you die, your soul will neither go to heaven nor hell. Your soul stays here with me, and I put it inside this old widow’s body, to make sure that you will have no strength to fight back."

If Jade was in a different situation right now, and she still had her real body, she would’ve laughed and spat on Aria’s face, because Aria was spouting nonsense.

Now that she was stuck inside the body of an old woman who could die the next second, she realized that Aria was not lying at all.

"A-are you a..." freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"Witch? Yep, you guessed it," Aria smiled menacingly while looking down at Lady Jade who was inside the body of the frail old woman. "I’m the disciple of a Great Witch called Madam Harsetti. And you, Lady Jade, your soul has been trapped by me. You will be my slave from now on."

Jade wanted to grit her teeth but then realized this body had no more teeth. She could only glare at Aria to show his anger.

"I’m not going to be anyone’s slave. Do you not know who I am? I am Jade of the Storm Pack!" Jade yelled as she tried to get up and attack Aria. But the latter laughed even louder and kicked the old woman until she fell backward for the second time.

"AHAHAHAHA! THIS IS SO FUNNY!" Aria’s rambunctious laugh echoed inside her room. She had never seen something so funny and pathetic in a long time, ever since her main toy, Swan, was sent as a sacrificial lamb to the Beast King back then, which unfortunately was the worst decision that Anastasia could’ve ever made in her life.

After tormenting and bullying Swan for more than a decade, Aria had grown a fascination with bullying a weaker creature. Be it a small animal, a weak old lady, or a crippled bitch. It was truly a kind of experience that she wanted to relive every day.

Jade despaired once she realized how powerless she was right now. She was no longer the powerful and honorable werewolf from the Storm Pack.

She was nothing but a feeble old human who’d wither away sooner or later.

"Don’t be so sad, Lady Jade. Of course, I won’t bring you back to life for no reason. I need your help," Aria said.

Jade maintained her hostility and suspicion towards Aria, "What do you want? You’re the one who told that stupid bunny to betray me. Do you think I still have the power and control over the Kingdom of Beastmen and Gale?"

"Of course, not. I know that you’re nothing but a traitor in Gale’s eyes right now. But you are still useful because I know that you’re a master of herbology and also an expert poison-maker. I need you to make me a certain kind of poison to help me with my plan," Aria explained her intention calmly. "I need one that can kill more than a hundred people at once."

"And why would you need to do that?"

"For my witchcraft, of course," Aria rolled her eyes. "I want to kill Swan after the humiliation I felt. She is my main target, and I will do anything to make sure that I will be the winner in the end."

Jade frowned.

Of course, Jade hated that crippled bitch as well. Swan was the source of her misery. It was she who made Gale turn his back on her, and even execute her in the end.

However, that didn’t mean she would willingly help Aria for no good reason. She had to get some benefits in exchange.

"And what do I get from this deal between us?" Jade asked.

"Deal? Pfft—!" Aria snickered. "Do you not realize your situation right now? You’re at my mercy, Jade."

"Then you could send me to hell for all I care. I have no use staying here anyway."

Snap!

Aria snapped her fingers, and Jade screamed in agony as she felt that her body was burning from the inside out. Aria continued laughing as she snapped her fingers a few more times to prolong Lady Jade’s agony.

It was not until Aria was satisfied that she finally stopped torturing Lady Jade.

"Know your place, Jade. I own your soul now. I can do anything I want with your soul. I can continue torturing you, or I can send your soul into an animal’s body. Do you want to be a frog instead? Or a slug?" Aria laughed in amusement.

"No, please don’t..." Jade muttered as she was too weak to even open her eyes. "I will follow you. Please don’t torture me anymore..."

"Hihi, that means you are my new old maid, right?" Aria giggled. "Now, why don’t you make me something useful with your poison-making skill? If you do your job well, I may give you a better body, maybe a young woman’s body as a reward?"

Jade’s eyes widened.

She had been using many potions and medicine to make herself look young for Gale, but if Aria could do that easily, she would do anything to be young again!

Thus, she nodded, "Alright, I will do anything you say as long as you can give me a youthful body!"

"Good, now get up and tell me what plants you need to create poison strong enough to kill more than a hundred people."

Aria listened to Jade’s rambles about the plants she needed and almost laughed knowing the reason Jade was so energetic right now was because Aria promised her a youthful body.

’And why should I give myself a competition? Swan is already hard to get rid of,’ Aria thought as she smiled meaningfully at Jade. ’You will be just like my mother, Jade. I will dispose of you once you’ve outlived your usefulness.’
