Chapter 497: Chapter 340: Beauty Beyond Race (2)

This... This woman...

At that moment, Luo Meng’s brain was completely blank.

Damn!

Shaye?

Shaye Nikolass.

Dark Witch?

Cold sweat flowed down his round head in an instant.

Wasn’t she always in the laboratory, when did she come out?

Although a woman of striking beauty, at this moment in Luo Meng’s heart, she was more terrifying than the most hideous and horrible demon in the deepest part of the Abyss.

Innumerable thoughts burst into Luo Meng’s not-so-brilliant brain at that moment; Horus and Candice wanted him to scout around in the Demon King City, and that was fine.

But, the premise was not to run into the person right in front of him.

In the entire Demon King City, apart from a very few Demon Princesses, who wasn’t afraid of her? Even the Princes worried about being hung from a tower or directly captured for experimentation in Shaye Nikolass’ laboratory.

This woman would not visit the battlefield or engage in mass killing, nor did she have any interest in the power struggles within the Demon King City.

Yet, such a woman instilled deep fear in all demons, for two reasons: this woman possessed strength comparable to the Demon King and... that terrifying laboratory.

The screams from the laboratory were more bone-chilling than the sounds of bodies breaking, bones cracking, and blood splattering on the battlefield; those demons who spoke the word "Shaye" after coming out were pale and trembling.

Even one of the Princesses who went in continuously vomited upon exiting.

Directly calling that place the true Abyss, the real Hell.

All sorts of situations only filled the demons in the Demon King City with fear of that laboratory, this unknown fear being the most terrifying. It was because of this unknown that the demons desperately let their minds wander, imagining scenarios more and more horrifying and fear-inducing.

The spread of various rumors further convinced many demons that it was a place no life form should enter.

Luo Meng’s bald head was covered with cold sweat, and inside he was wailing incessantly, why, of all times, did he have to run into her now?

Is this the retribution for being too smooth lately?

At that moment, Luo Meng acted on instinct and, pretending not to see Shaye Nikolass, he immediately turned and walked away.

Screw the glory of the Seventh Prince, screw the dignity of the most likely successor to the next Demon King, nothing was more important than not provoking her.

Although Shaye Nikolass did not care about Luo Meng, the sight of him turning and walking away upon seeing her still annoyed Shaye, who slightly parted her cherry lips, and a crisp voice emanated from her mouth:

"Luo Meng, stop!"

Despite the sweet sound, to Luo Meng’s ears it was like a life-stealing siren’s call; he instantly stood up straight, not daring to move a muscle, just like an obedient little school student.

He had no desire to be accidentally brought to Shaye’s laboratory.

Luo Meng’s cowardly response also made Queen Atreus beside them chuckle softly, her eyes also showing some envy. If only she had Shaye’s strength and authority, the position of the next Demon King would definitely be hers to claim; who would dare to compete?

"Why do you walk away without turning your head upon seeing me, am I that frightening? Am I really such a witch?"

Bullshit, you are a witch.

Luo Meng complained internally, but of course, he wasn’t foolish enough to say those words aloud.

Luo Meng, with a deeply sad face and a flattering smile, his face all wrinkled said, "Dare not, my lady. I suddenly remembered something very important that I need to handle, this isn’t meant to be disrespectful at all. Queen, you surely won’t hold such a trivial matter against me, right?"

Queen... an unofficial title used by the demons for Shaye Nikolass.

The Demon King is Nage, and the Queen among demons is Shaye... even though Shaye is not Nage’s wife.

"Ah, right, you took Benson’s body last time, the experiment must have gone smoothly, right?" Luo Meng frantically racked his brain, deliberately bringing up Benson’s matter.

After all, he had given Benson’s body to Shaye; surely she should remember this favor, and not be too harsh on him, right?

As he spoke, Luo Meng secretly peeked at Shaye’s expression.

To his surprise, he found Shaye somewhat confused, as if she didn’t understand what was going on with Benson’s body.

"Benson’s body? What is that?" A few seconds later, Shaye finally responded.

At this, Luo Meng immediately panicked, even pushing down a little bit of the fear inside him, as he hurriedly explained, "Your Highness Shaye, you might have forgotten, when I was about to kill Benson, you suddenly appeared and said he was a rather good specimen, taking him from me. You can’t deny it, can you?"

These words immediately caused Shaye Nikolass’ beautiful brows to furrow tightly.

Her slender, slightly upward-tilted eyes narrowed as she stared at Luo Meng in front of her; she believed Luo Meng wouldn’t have the audacity to lie in her presence.

And indeed, Luo Meng’s frantic scratching of his head and ears definitely didn’t seem like he was lying.

Shaye Nikolass lifted her pale hand gently to her mouth and chuckled lightly: "Hehe, Luo Meng, I was just teasing you. I’ve been in the laboratory for so long, my mind seems a bit off lately."

"There are some things I don’t quite remember clearly. Could you explain them to me more thoroughly?"

Queen Atreus quickly sensed that the situation was not as simple as it seemed, but being very clever, she just kept a smile to herself and remained silent. In the world of demons, to live longer, one must learn to feign ignorance.

"You shouldn’t pry into things you shouldn’t know about,"

Ronald surviving until now without any brains is a miracle, although he seemed to have gotten a bit smarter after returning this time.

Could there actually be an intelligent human advising him?

Atreus swept her pink tongue over her lips, still a bit more interested in those intelligent and handsome men among humans.

Last time, when Ronald was caught by Luo Meng, she actually went there too, wanting to taste this so-called handsome man.

Unfortunately, when she arrived... how to put it, was that even a human? You’d think it was just a glob of paste.

It’s remarkable that those demons could still bring themselves to do it...

Luo Meng then raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, goodness, that was terrifying, if she really didn’t acknowledge his account and caught him to take him back to the laboratory, that would have been troublesome.

He didn’t dare to delay and hurriedly explained the situation at the time with a smile on his face, in detail.

"You even said, you would remember this favor," Luo Meng added at last.

Shaye Nikolass’s eyes slightly narrowed, shimmering with a crimson glow.

Interesting!

There’s someone who dares to impersonate me and deceive others?

Who would be so bold?

Is it because I, the Dark Witch, have not shown myself for too long and people have forgotten my terror?

"Queen Atreus, could you please tell Nage..." Shaye Nikolass gently stretched her fair arms, displaying her beautiful figure.

"Just tell him, I’ve been in the laboratory too long, planning to go out for some air."

"Everything he wants is in the laboratory, don’t mess it up for me."

Shaye Nikolass gave Atreus a backward glance with a smile.

That smile was captivating.

As if everything around lost its color, even Luo Meng who liked big, robust, and hairy females felt a moment of dizziness.

Even the equally beautiful Atreus seemed pale in comparison at that moment.

That beauty seemed to transcend species.

...

Meanwhile!

Achoo!

In the laboratory of the palace, another Shaye Nikolass sneezed.

She rubbed her nose with her small hand, her crimson gaze darting around, who was cursing me just now?

Well, never mind.

Shaye was not too concerned about this temporary body’s slight reaction, shaking the medicine bottle in her hand, inside was a liquid diluted at least a thousand times.

Shaye was more familiar with this stuff than anyone.

Compared to pure blood, the energy contained here was much less, but the safety was greatly improved.

Pity, this laboratory was just too simple; if she could go to the laboratory in Demon King City, where limitless materials were available, Shaye could concoct various magic potions, further reducing the negative effects of the blood and minimizing the impact on the consumer’s soul and consciousness.

At the most, it just made them a bit more ferocious, fearless, and brutal during battle.

It certainly wouldn’t end up like Wozworth’s fate.

Thinking of this, Shaye couldn’t help but be curious, where exactly did Wozworth and Demon King Nage get this bizarre blood from?

She hadn’t known before, but seeing the undiluted blood now, Shaye was certain that this blood must have come from some god, probably an Evil God.

Was it a gift from someone in the Void?

Or remnants of the Eighth Evil God? Speaking of, can a body last for thousands of years? Even if there were remains, surely the blood would have evaporated by now? But then again, it’s hard to say with beings like Evil Gods.

Or perhaps it was something left by some unknown bizarre entity?

Maybe she should still have Qin Chu and Wozworth meet up, maybe they could figure out what exactly was going on.

As she thought this, Shaye applied layer upon layer of seals onto the glass bottle to prevent the scent from leaking.

She decided to persuade Qin Chu, if she could learn where this blood was collected from, it would be great.

Shaye’s body flew towards a shelf nearby, placing the glass bottle on it, next to another sealed glass bottle containing similarly crimson blood.

Which was drawn from Qin Chu during the modification of the Enchanting Love Potion.
