Twisted Dreams
Chapter 457 - 525: Sheepdog
TV dramas always say that a good official must clearly distinguish between right and wrong, yet throughout an entire drama, you can’t find two officials who can.
When children watch these dramas, they’re always puzzled, isn’t it easy to tell right from wrong?
As children gradually grow into adults, they find it difficult to maintain as clear a sense of right and wrong as they once had.
’Big friends’ will wonder why, upon growing up, they also struggle to discern right from wrong?
Actually, in this world, there has never been a distinction between right and wrong, only differing stances.
For Xiaohai, the East Sakura Royal Family attempting to harm his brother is reason enough to trample their dignity underfoot.
For the East Sakura Royal Family, making a move against Xia Country and the Changbai Mountain Demon Race is meant to usher in national prosperity.
So now, in the Empress’s eyes, Xiaohai is nothing more than an unrestrained Demon.
Especially as this Demon is acting like a beast.
The Empress’s bedroom continuously echoes with wails.
It’s unclear how much time has passed before Xiaohai leaves, feeling satisfied.
In the bedroom, the princess’s vacant eyes stare blankly at the ceiling.
Beside her, the Empress sobs softly, unable to face her daughter’s gaze.
Then, a voice sounded.
"What are you doing?"
The Empress snapped back to alertness, cautiously surveying her surroundings:
"Who is there?!"
A puddle of black liquid appeared on the ground, gathering on the sofa and transforming into the shape of an old man.
The old man emitted a strong fishy odor, clad in a captain’s attire.
It was Flesh Sacrifice, who had come to East Sakura aboard a fishing vessel as the Celestial Race’s Legion Commander.
Flesh Sacrifice looked at the disheveled Empress with great interest and said:
"From my perspective, you are an exceedingly beautiful woman. Why would you consort with such a creature?"
The Empress knew the one the old captain-like figure called a creature was the Great Evil Demon King.
The terrifying Great Evil Demon King, as the old captain described, seemed crude and repulsive.
The Empress appraised Flesh Sacrifice skeptically and asked:
"Are you Extraordinary?"
She wouldn’t yell like a fool from a mountain village, asking who you are, where you come from, or what you want.
Someone who could silently infiltrate this place and watch a live performance beneath the Great Evil Demon King’s nose must be a powerful Extraordinary.
Flesh Sacrifice responded:
"You have not yet answered my question.
Your world is so fascinating that it makes me want to understand it better."
The Empress’s mind raced.
The appearance of extraterrestrial monsters in South Korea had led to its downfall, a news that had spread worldwide.
The Empress quickly realized that the old captain before her was likely an extraterrestrial monster.
Because he was strong and had a pair of green eyes.
The Empress pondered for a moment and said:
"I am the Empress of this nation, a pitiable woman coerced by a powerful Demon."
Flesh Sacrifice uttered "Oh" in a disdainful tone:
"That is the Great Evil Demon King?
Such a weak creature can actually govern your nation.
You truly are feeble."
Flesh Sacrifice held many memories of the East Sakura People, so he understood what Demons were and what the Great Evil Demon King was.
He even knew about Spiritual Energy Revival, and that the first place to experience it was Xia Country.
The Celestial Race, when waging war on the Mortal World, relies not only on force but also on strategy.
The Empress’s pupils trembled.
That creature actually called the Great Evil Demon King a weak Demon?!
The Great Evil Demon King is a terrifying force capable of withstanding armies!
Flesh Sacrifice’s lips curled into a bizarre smile:
"Let’s make a deal?
Submit to me, submit to the Celestial Race, and I’ll help you defeat the Great Evil Demon King."
Celestial Race?
Indeed, an extraterrestrial monster!
The Empress swallowed.
She was truly tempted.
As a noble Empress, she had been humiliated by the Great Evil Demon King time and again, even forced to partake in sordid acts involving herself and the princess depicted in those films.
She couldn’t accept it; her hatred for the Great Evil Demon King ran deep.
Flesh Sacrifice continued:
"I won’t interfere with your authority like that creature.
You will still be the Empress, still the ruler of this country.
The difference is, from now on, you will be a vassal of my Celestial Race."
Flesh Sacrifice’s words offered the Empress an undeniable reason to agree.
To regain control of East Sakura, defeat the Great Evil Demon King, this was her constant longing.
The Empress steadied her thoughts and cautiously asked:
"What do you want me to do?"
Flesh Sacrifice extended a finger:
"Firstly, with the Celestial Race just arriving in this world, we need some natives as guides."
Flesh Sacrifice slowly extended a second finger:
"Secondly, I want you to provide me with meat."
The Empress furrowed her brows:
"Meat?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Flesh Sacrifice’s grin grew increasingly exaggerated, his mouth stretching to the ears as his long tongue licked his nose:
"Meat, it naturally means humans."
The Empress froze, her face turning pale.
Extraterrestrial monsters, certainly nothing good!
Flesh Sacrifice continued:
"I’m not like those idiots in the legion; they only know how to kill and devour without restraint.
Haha, those fools never consider what to do if the meat is gone?
They just know how to eat, not how to farm.
I want to farm humans, continuously breeding delicious meat for the Celestial Race.
I need a pack of shepherd dogs; are you willing to be their leader?"
The Empress murmured:
"You want me to become a traitor to humanity."
Flesh Sacrifice’s green eyes fixed on the Empress:
"This world will belong to the Celestial Race; human extinction is inevitable.
Becoming our shepherd dogs is your nation’s opportunity to dominate the human world.
If you don’t consider it, I will devour the entire East Sakura, including the Great Evil Demon King.
Honestly, I’m feeling quite hungry now.
I will find another leader for the shepherd dogs."
The Empress no longer hesitated; she immediately knelt on the ground, lowering her proud head:
"I am willing! I want the Great Evil Demon King dead!"
Flesh Sacrifice chuckled lightly:
"A wise choice."
He gazed out the window, eyes filled with infatuation:
"This world is so beautiful; I love it.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have appeared in this world ahead of the plan.
Human Empress, prepare a grand welcoming ceremony; my subordinates will be arriving soon."
Flesh Sacrifice stood up and declared:
"Before that, prepare a banquet, inviting all officials and the Great Evil Demon King.
I want you to stream it live, allowing the whole East Sakura to see how I tear the Great Evil Demon King apart."
The Empress heard this, pondering slightly.
If Flesh Sacrifice could truly kill the Great Evil Demon King, then that would be fine.
But if Flesh Sacrifice is not a match for the Great Evil Demon King, setting up such a trap would be suicidal.
Flesh Sacrifice noticed the Empress’s hesitation and snorted with anger.
A terrifying aura descended upon the Imperial Palace.
Flesh Sacrifice said darkly:
"Don’t think I’m more accommodating than that Great Evil Demon King.
Once you decided to be a slave to the Celestial Race, the contract was formed.
The words I say now are orders for you.
A subordinate who disobeys orders, I will let them experience all my methods."
The Empress’s delicate figure shuddered, replying promptly:
"Yes!"
