After hearing all this, her cheeks turned red. Can girls also participate in this? It was something she had never considered before, and it seemed to be beyond her imagination.

She didn't stop listening and continued to listen to the situation inside.

"Three years have passed, Merice, can't you just obey? Do you still expect someone to save you?" The coquettish voice carried a hint of threat, with a taste of resentment.

"No... no, that's not what I mean." Merice's voice trembled, seeming to be afraid of the owner of this voice.

"If that's not what you mean, then listen to me obediently and let me punish you properly." Her tone was filled with strong possessiveness, as if declaring her authority.

"Okay... um..." Merice's voice sounded very aggrieved, with a hint of crying.

"Lift your buttocks a little higher." The coquettish voice continued to command, "A little to the left... yes, just like that."

"Okay... um..." Merice responded, seemingly tortured to the point of almost fainting.

Then a sound of whipping rang out, and Merice screamed in pain. Her delicate body twitched slightly, showing signs of great suffering.

"Isn't this pain enjoyable?" The coquettish voice carried a triumphant smirk.

"Um... um... um..." Merice didn't dare to say "no" at all, and could only go along with Elena's words. This feeling made her very uncomfortable, but she couldn't bear to refuse. She knew very well that if she didn't obey Elena, Elena would punish her severely.

Seemingly hearing important information, they stopped using the warlock's magic to eavesdrop because those two guys, besides moaning "ah, um," would say some embarrassing things that were of no use.

Lilia and Lanzu have been missing for three years, and Merice, Lessi, and Xueyou Yue are remnants of the previous dynasty.

This means that the Crimson Empire has replaced its Majesty. The owner of the coquettish voice who can keep the remnants of the previous dynasty must be a relative of the new Majesty, and this new Majesty should love her very much, otherwise, he would not allow a few remnants of the previous dynasty to live.

How did this new Majesty seize Lilia's Majesty position? A rebellion? She immediately shook her head and denied this idea.

Although Lilia was arrogant and capricious, she was a diligent and benevolent ruler, an undisputed fact.

Moreover, if the people have enough to eat and wear, why would they rebel? If there really were such people, how could they mobilize the people to draw their swords against Lilia? Obviously, a rebellion was impossible.

If it was a trap set by Poqi to assist a minister of the blood clan in seizing the throne? This thought suddenly came to mind, but then she immediately shook her head and dismissed it.

Although Poqi was the second-ranking demon in the hierarchy, at that time his strength had not yet recovered, and he couldn't possibly defeat the Martial Angel whose strength had almost completely recovered.

Otherwise, this wouldn't match the three-year time when Lilia went missing. These things should have happened about two months after she fell into the abyss.

She needed to understand what had happened in the Crimson Empire in the past three years and how many demons had awakened during those three years. Were they loyal to me or loyal to Poqi?

If it was Poqi, then they must all die!

Feeling these thoughts, she couldn't help but be surprised. How did this girl become so ruthless?

"Hey, hey, hey, vampire girl, how can you harm your own kind?" The voice sounded.

"Can you guarantee that the other demons will still be loyal to your deceased warlord? Or maybe your sealed head has driven you mad? Don't forget that if I die, it's the same as you dying. You should help me with all your might, instead of caring about those demon brethren. Maybe the demons you care about have already joined Poqi and are busy helping him find your key and sword. Or maybe they have already found these two things, and Poqi is absorbing the power of your sequence somewhere."

The voice was full of determination, as if mocking her. Her attitude was clear: if you dare to serve Poqi, I will kill you.

Confused by these words, she didn't know what to say. How did she become even more cold-blooded? She was almost influenced by Lilia before, but now she has become so ruthless?

However, I really like this appearance. This is what a demon emperor should look like. Only with such a personality will one qualify to become his host.

"Hmph." He snorted coldly and then said, "We are one, and I will naturally do everything in my power to help you overcome any obstacles." His tone was somewhat low.

He felt like he was being led by the nose, but this couldn't continue. He needed to change the current situation.

"Mhm." Her voice remained cold, and she didn't say much. She just lightly acknowledged.

Lying on the bed, he closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

As for the young couple next door, she was already too lazy to care. She didn't want to expose herself, and moreover, she didn't know the person's strength. Acting rashly could easily bring trouble.

...

In the early morning, the sun had just risen, casting a golden glow that illuminated the entire city, making it look magnificent and beautiful.

Wearing a red dress with a red belt tied around her waist, adorned with hundreds of golden threads. She wore a veil on her face, covering half of it, leaving only the other half exposed, revealing a delicate and charming face that would make anyone's heart skip a beat.

Her white hair was mixed with black strands, scattered around her ears, adding a touch of laziness.

She walked away from the door with light footsteps and headed outside.

At that moment, Eleana and Merice walked out of their room and noticed the faint whip marks on Merice's hands. Her walking posture was a bit odd, as if she was uncomfortable...

"Miss Merice, what's wrong with your leg? Tell the truth." Eleana intentionally raised her voice, knowing that someone was behind her.

Merice's face instantly turned red. She wished she could dig a hole and hide herself. Eleana was deliberately asking a question she already knew the answer to.

Lowering her head and dare not look at Eleana, her voice barely audible, she said, "Because... Because I wasn't... obedient enough, so... so..."

Eleana smirked and teased, "Let's continue tonight, haha, I'll be gentler."

Acting as if she didn't notice, she walked straight past them.

Unintentionally, Merice noticed the black-haired girl, her walking style seemed familiar, could it be...?

But then she dismissed the thought. That person was someone neither Baixi nor Aunt could sense, how could it be possible?

Eleana noticed Merice's gaze and immediately said, "Stop right there, the person in front of us."

"Princess? So you are the daughter of the new vampire lord, Your Majesty." She thought in her heart. She stopped, turned around, slightly bowed, and respectfully said, "Greetings, Your Highness. May I ask what brings Your Highness here?"

Eleana sized her up and then said to the nearby Merice, "Hehe, it's not Cecilia, what a pity. It seems you still had some illusions, Merice."

Eleana lightly stroked her chest, looking at Merice with a quasi-smile. Her expression seemed to be saying: Your dream is shattered, isn't it?

"Don't assume that just because someone has white hair, they are Cecilia. Aside from appearance, her white hair is not pure, and her irises are not the light blue exclusive to Cecilia. As for height and figure, do you think the whole Cecilia can compare to the girl in front of us?" Eleana looked at Merice with a pitying expression.

Seeing that Merice didn't speak, a hint of anger appeared on Eleana's face. She grabbed Merice's ear and angrily said, "Didn't I tell you, when I ask you a question, you must answer immediately. It seems that three years of training haven't tamed you yet."

Merice winced in pain as her ear was being pinched. She lowered her head, afraid to meet Eleana's gaze.

"I... I'm sorry, beloved Eleana. I know my mistake. Please forgive me." Merice's voice was filled with grievances, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, making people feel heartbroken.

Eleana released Merice's ear and patted her shoulder, whispering in her ear, "Be a good servant tonight. This princess wants to enjoy it. Your beautiful body and soul will always belong to me, Eleana. If you can't satisfy me, then we'll go back to three years ago and start the training again."

"Tha... thank you for your love and grace, beloved Elena." Merice bit her lip, suppressing her inner sadness, then lifted her head to thank Elena.

Elena looked apologetic and said, "That ignorant woman lacks manners and has wasted this young lady's time. I will definitely punish her later."

"Your Highness is too kind. It is our duty as subjects to solve the confusion about the princess and her wife," said the humble man.

"Hehe, it's the first time someone has acknowledged us as a couple. The princess is very happy. What is your name? The princess has made a new friend," Elena admired this attitude and was willing to make friends.

"I'm called Lingxi," she replied. As for why she didn't use the name Lingji, it always evoked a faint sadness.

"Lingxi... what a nice name," Elena smiled and said, "Lingxi, would you mind accompanying the princess for a stroll?"

"With utmost pleasure." She slightly bowed, showing a humble posture. Elena glanced at her and then said, "Lingxi, what you are doing is embarrassing the princess. The princess dislikes anyone bowing to her, but you always do."

"I will remember your lesson, Your Highness," she bowed again.

"Lingxi, you are bowing again. Friends do not need so many formalities. We should address each other freely. Isn't that right, Merice?" Elena looked at Merice beside her.

Merice nodded hastily, "Beloved is absolutely right."

"I understand, Elena," a smile appeared on her face, warming the hearts of others like a gentle breeze.

Elena nodded satisfactorily, then held Merice's hand and walked ahead, with Lingxi closely following.
