“So what do you want from me? I was already prepared for what would happen if I fell into the hands of fiends like you. No matter what, I’ll never submit to you!”
Looking at the Holy Maiden’s resolute gaze, Morningstar suddenly felt like she’d seen this scene before. Usually, knights or holy maidens who said things like that never ended well.
“How to punish you is something my master should decide.”
After saying that to the Holy Maiden with a dark expression, the dragon girl turned around and switched to a respectful tone.
“Master, how would you like to punish this Divine Maiden?”
“Uh... you’re making this really hard for me.”
Looking at the delicate, teary-eyed beauty in the distance, Morningstar felt like some utterly unforgivable final boss.
Good thing her body wasn’t male. Otherwise, she’d really look like some dirty old creep trying to prey on a pretty girl.
“How about... we let her go home?”
Morningstar whispered into the dragon girl’s ear. The moment she heard her master’s words, the dragon girl’s face fell at once.
“Master, you can’t be joking, can you? Let her go home? How could an evil Dark Sorceress possibly release someone from the Divine Clan?”
“Then what do you want me to do? I can’t force her to do something she doesn’t want to do.”
Morningstar still hadn’t had her heart overtaken by the Dark Sorceress’s true nature. She still retained the kindness she’d had as a human, so naturally she couldn’t bear to do anything to the Holy Maiden.
“Master, I understand.”
The dragon girl knew her master still had kindness in her, so she didn’t go against her. Instead, she used that kindness as leverage.
“Master, don’t you know? The Holy Maiden has already been more than half consumed by darkness. If she goes back, there’s only one ending for her.”
“She’ll be burned to death.”
“Ah? That cruel? Then... give her some money and let her go do whatever she wants?”
“Understood, Master. I’ll let Lady Holy Maiden make her own choice.”
“Uh... I’ve got a bad feeling you’re not going to handle this reliably.”
Though she didn’t fully trust the dragon girl, Morningstar really had no other option right now. She could only agree to let her handle it.
“Fine, you deal with it. But don’t hurt her, and don’t make her do anything against her will.”
“Understood, Master. Please go to your bedchamber and relax.”
“Now that you mention it, I am a little tired.”
The Dark Sorceress’s body didn’t actually feel fatigue, but after standing all day, Morningstar wanted somewhere to lie down.
Under the dragon girl’s guidance, Morningstar teleported into her palace.
The luxury inside was beyond words. Exquisite decorations were everywhere. That bed alone was as big as the bedroom back in Morningstar’s home.
“Using a bed this huge just for sleeping is way too wasteful, isn’t it?”
Morningstar wandered around the bedroom, looking here and there. She picked up a golden box from the vanity.
“These things are all made of gold, right? Damn. If I could take even one piece of this back with me, I’d be set for life.”
Everything here was so novel that she no longer felt like lying down. Full of curiosity, she kept exploring, interested in every single thing in this luxurious bedchamber.
After finishing her exploration of the palace, Morningstar went through a door in the room and entered the next area over...
“Whoa. Is this... is this a swimming pool?”
The moment she stepped through the door, she saw a huge pool. A faint steam rose from it, filling the whole room with mist.
It looked like a swimming pool, but judging from the furnishings around it, this should be a place for bathing.
“Now this is luxury. Even ancient emperors probably didn’t have it this good.”
Looking at the enormous pool, Morningstar suddenly had the urge to take a bath. She lowered her head and looked at the clothes on her arms. With a single thought, the outfit transformed back into that black, viscous substance, then sank into her skin.
“The more I look at this stuff, the more it feels like Venom.”
She tossed out that comment, then stepped into the pool. Warm water wrapped around her body, and she couldn’t help revealing a blissful expression.
“Oh~~ huuuh~~ so comfy.”
Leaning against the edge of the pool, Morningstar’s pale skin took on a faint flush from the heat. She quietly looked up at the mural on the ceiling. She wanted to reach out and wash her body, but for some reason, she just couldn’t bring herself to do it.
“Oh, come on. This is my own body. What am I even being shy about?”
After a fierce internal struggle, Morningstar finally made up her mind and made her move.
She lowered her head, and the first thing she saw was that pair belonging to a girl’s body... From a first-person perspective, it had a rather unique flavor.
And more importantly, they were growing on her own body.
Still, compared to that pair, Morningstar was more curious about the red gemstone embedded between her breasts, one that looked like an eye.
It looked like it had been forcibly set into her chest. Wearing that thing felt like having Ultraman’s warning light stuck on her body.
But when Morningstar reached out to touch it, what she felt was something entirely different.
“Mmh! This thing... it can actually feel touch?”
Chen Chen’s slender fingers brushed over the red gem on her chest. Her fingertips could feel the gem’s coolness, but at the same time, she could also feel her fingers touching it from the gem itself.
And the gem seemed abnormally sensitive. Just a light stroke from her fingers made Morningstar’s whole body tremble. A tingling sensation spread outward from the gem, like an electric current, and even her heartbeat quickened on its own.
“So weird. Why does this gem have a sense of touch?”
She hadn’t really put much thought into it before, but now that things had quieted down, Morningstar could finally start exploring the Dark Sorceress’s body.
At first, she’d been too embarrassed. But this gem had stirred her curiosity.
After all, after reading fantasy novels for so many years, Morningstar also wanted to know what was so mysterious about a Dark Sorceress’s body.
“Can this gem be used as an eye?”
With that thought, Morningstar closed her eyes. Then she fumbled around with the Dark Sorceress’s instincts, searching for a way to use the gem.
Sure enough, after exploring for a moment, the gem on her chest gave off a strange black-red glow. The pattern inside the gem had originally looked like a slightly closed eye, but now that eye slowly opened.
Even with her eyes tightly shut, Chen Chen suddenly gained vision of what was in front of her. It was just that everything she saw was covered in a black-red filter.
And that wasn’t all. With a mere thought from Morningstar, this perspective could actually see through the wall in front of her. It even had zoom and focus functions. She could see every tiny detail of every blade of grass and tree outside the Witch's Spire for a hundred miles.
“So it really is an eye? No wonder it’s so sensitive. But seriously, this eye is insane. Long-range vision and x-ray vision? This is basically the ultimate peeping tool.”
As Morningstar opened her eyes, the witch’s eye on her chest slowly closed as well. In truth, there were still many functions she hadn’t discovered yet.
This was the Demon Eye, known by all as the eye that could peer into all things. It could do more than just see objects. It could see the past and the future, and it could even see through a person’s heart and know what they were thinking.
“So this is the Dark Sorceress’s third eye?”
After she was done playing with her third eye, Morningstar started exploring the rest of her body again. But aside from that eye, she didn’t find anything else particularly special. The Dark Sorceress’s body wasn’t really different from that of a normal girl.
Her figure was exceptionally full, and her skin was delicate and soft.
Just a little pale.
