Absolute Choice 8

by Pear Lands In The Autumn Spring

  The girl was startled. Although she knew that Shi Xiaobai was doing it for her own good, such intimate contact made her feel shy and embarrassed. However, Shi Xiaobai's forceful attitude did not give her a chance to reject him. Furthermore, she did not have any means of making a sound to refuse Shi Xiaobai's good intentions.

  As Sunless had already returned Holy Radiance to him, Shi Xiaobai's right hand once again possessed Holy Radiance's power of light. Shi Xiaobai's first thought was to use the healing powers of Holy Radiance to treat the girl's wound. Therefore, he had inserted his fingers into the girls oral cavity without any hesitation.

  When he stuck them in, Shi Xiaobai somewhat regretted.

  Shi Xiaobai gave the girl an apologetic looks. He thought to himself. This King should not have done it. How could he do such a thing? How could he be so reckless?

  Hands had to be washed first!

  The girl noticed the apologetic look in Shi Xiaobai's eyes and thought to herself. Brother Shi Xiaobai did so unintentionally. He's only worried for me.

  The girl closed her eyes as her cheeks turned red.

  The power of light covered her gums. The tender flesh began to slowly heal as an unbearable itch immediately rushed to the girl's head.

  The girl subconsciously used her tongue to lick the itchy spot but accidentally licked Shi Xiaobai's fingers. The girl retracted her tongue in shock as her ears suddenly turned red. She felt like her head was on fire.

  As she was opening her mouth, saliva began to gather naturally and secrete after a long period of time. The sticky liquid began dripping out of her mouth, and naturally stained Shi Xiaobai's fingers.

  The silver-haired girl was so embarrassed that she would rather die.

  If this was a punishment from the heavens, wasn't it a bit too cruel? However, should the sinful her supposed to gladly endure the hardship?

  The silver-haired girl's mind was in chaos.

  At that moment, a cold voice like a winter wind sounded.

  "Darling, what are the both of you doing!?""

  Chapter393 A King that doesn't know how to bow his head has no right to stand above the heads of his subjects

  The commotion caused by the girl was not trivial. With the Infernal Queen's strength, she quickly sensed the abnormality of the situation and rushed here from the bedroom.

  The first thing she saw was the crumbling walls and the cracks on the ground. The Infernal Queen felt slightly alarmed, but the next scene she saw rendered her astounded.

  Her husband was holding the silver-haired girl's chin and had two of his fingers inserted between her pink lips!

  And the silver-haired girl had her eyes closed. Her cheeks were red and the tears on her face had yet to dry.

  From the scene of destruction and the tears on the girl's face, as well as the intimate actions the duo was presently in, the Infernal Queen began to automatically imagine what had just happened.

  Shi Xiaobai had used force to sexually harass the silver-haired girl. He had caused the destruction in front of her, and the girl was no match for him, so all she could do was bear the humiliation with tears streaking down her cheeks!

  The Infernal Queen could not believe that such a scene had happened. But combined with the fact of how Shi Xiaobai wanted to go back to the bedroom upon arriving in the Infernal domain, the Infernal Queen had no way to deny the guess—her husband's desires could not be fulfilled!

  The Infernal Queen could not help but shout out to interrupt the hot scene in front of her.

  "Darling, what are the both of you doing!?"

  The Infernal Queen's cold voice gave the silver-haired girl a fright. She suddenly opened her eyes and immediately stretched out her arms to hold onto Shi Xiaobai's right arm. Taking advantage of the moment when Shi Xiaobai was in a daze, she pulled out his two fingers from her mouth. She took a big step back and hurriedly freed herself from the embarrassing situation.

  The silver-haired girl's heart was beating like a drum. She lowered her head and did not dare to lift it up. She was not entirely repugnant to Shi Xiaobai's good intentions, but to be seen in the act, it was a fatal blow to a girl's reservations.

  The silver-haired girl only wished that there was a hole for her to burrow into. Furthermore, with what had just happened, she felt like her mind was in disarray. She needed to calm down.

  "I'll go back and sleep."

  The silver-haired girl hurriedly took out her writing board and wrote a few nearly unrecognizable words. Without even waiting for Shi Xiaobai's reply, she rushed out of the room like she was fleeing. The Infernal Queen had already prepared individual bedrooms for all of them, so what the silver-haired girl wanted to do now was to hide in her room and cover herself with a blanket.

  From the beginning to the end, she bowed her head deeply.

  The Infernal Queen sighed in her heart as she glanced at the silver-haired girl's back. She was even more sure of her guess. Look at that girl, she was running like she was fleeing for her life. She must have been extremely reluctant.

  Shi Xiaobai hesitated for a moment, but he did not retain the girl. Although he had not fully healed the wound in her mouth, what the silver-haired girl needed most at the moment was to be alone.

  "Darling, what were you doing?"

  The Infernal Queen asked the question once again. She was still reluctant to believe her guess and hoped that it wasn't the truth.

  Shi Xiaobai faltered slightly before he turned to look at the Infernal Queen. After a moment of hesitation, he replied truthfully, "This King was treating her wounds."

  The Infernal Queen was stunned, but as she opened her mouth, she did not continue what she wanted to say. Eventually, she did not say a word.

  She naturally could not believe that he was treating a wound by inserting his fingers into a young girl's mouth. It was the most ridiculous joke.

  However, Shi Xiaobai had given her such a crappy excuse which could be easily exposed. It was obvious that he was feeling guilty conscience.

  The Infernal Queen finally confirmed her guess, but she did not want to harp on the matter any further. In the end, if she had not been too reserved by not willing to have intercourse with Shi Xiaobai during the day, such a situation would not have happened.

  The Infernal Queen's love was great and selfless. So even though Shi Xiaobai had been unloyal, she blamed it on herself. She had failed to satisfy him.

  The Infernal Queen fell silent, but Shi Xiaobai said, "Sorry. The destruction here and the death of the four palace maids was the fault of This King. This King..."

  Shi Xiaobai never evaded his responsibilities, nor would he shirk his responsibilities. Although the destruction and the death of the four palace maids was a result of the silver-haired girl's cry, the root cause was because of his carelessness. He had failed to discover the demonic beast core in the steak. It was he who chose the dish, so the responsibility was something he had to bear.

  Shi Xiaobai did not want to explain the situation in detail because the devil-like voice was probably a secret the silver-haired girl wanted to hide. Therefore, he would obviously not reveal it without her permission.

  When the Infernal Queen heard this, she looked up and glanced at Shi Xiaobai. She interrupted Shi Xiaobai's words and said gently, "Darling, there's no need to blame yourself. If not for Darling, the Infernal domain would not be enjoying its current peace and happiness. Every citizen in the Infernal domain is willing to die for Darling, much less the four palace maids. Leave this to me. The relatives of the four palace maids will receive the compensation they deserve."

  When Shi Xiaobai heard this, he could not help but fall silent. The Infernal Queen's words gave him a deep sense of the Infernal King's status in the Infernal domain. In fact, after he entered the Infernal domain, the devilish citizens he encountered along the way looked at him with fervent awe. It was as if he was their religion.
>
  Shi Xiaobai did not doubt the words of the Infernal Queen. Although the citizens of the Infernal domain were willing to die for him, this only gave him a heavy sense of pressure.

  He was not the real Infernal King. He did not make any contribution to the Infernal domain, so he was not worthy of the four palace maids sacrifice for him.

  However, he did not have any other means. He could not save lives that were lost. In front of death, he was equally helpless.

  "This King wants to personally apologize to their families," said Shi Xiaobai earnestly.

  Apology and compensation was useless to the dead but to the survivors, it was an essential comfort.

  The Infernal Queen said in shock, "Definitely not. Darling is the most noble king, so how can..."

  Shi Xiaobai stretched out his arm and interrupted her words. He said seriously, "A King that doesn't know how to bow his head has no right to stand above the heads of his subjects."

  When the Infernal Queen heard this, she was stunned for a few seconds. The look in her eyes gradually turned soft as she gave an appreciating smile. She said, "I understand."

  ...

  ...

  After Shi Xiaobai washed his hands, he left the palace with the Infernal Queen incognito.

  The two of them were extraordinarily powers, but in order to not cause unrest, they deliberately left the palace secretly. No one noticed that the two noblest existences in the Infernal domain had already mixed into the populace.

  When they came to the first palace maid's home, the person who opened the door was an elderly succubus. She was given a fright before she venerated herself in front of the Infernal King and Infernal Queen.

  When Shi Xiaobai explained the reason for his appearance—sadly informing the old succubus of her loss and extend to her his most sincere of apologies—the old succubus revealed a smile.

  What she said remained on Shi Xiaobai's mind for a very long time.

  "Death befalls all devils alike—it may be weightier than Mt. Infernal or lighter than a feather—but it's her honor to die for you. My dear king, if you blame yourself, please sit on the throne for one additional second. By just doing so, her death will be filled with value."

  Shi Xiaobai could tell that the old succubus was not forcing a smile, but that she truly felt that her daughter had a worthy death. He said that it was his fault and did not even tell her how the palace maid had died but the old succubus did not inquire any further.

  In the eyes of the old succubus, the king in front of her was more important than anything else.

  What sort of fanatically loyal subjects were these?

  Chapter394 I'll do whatever you want to do tonight

  The old succubus shocked Shi Xiaobai.

  And for the other three palace maids' families, their reactions were identical to the first elderly succubus.

  The Infernals had black skin, and most of them were born ugly. However, Shi Xiaobai was shocked by the pure loyalty they had.

  It was a truly beautiful loyalty. You could call it fanaticism or craziness, but you could not deny that such loyalty was a form of beauty for a king on his throne.

  Shi Xiaobai was not the real Infernal King. He had not done a single thing for the country or these people. However, after gaining such a beautiful loyalty, he could not feel a sense of hate for them, despite the fact that devils were impressed on humans as an ugly and evil existence.

  The loyalty of these Infernals was much more beautiful than humans or Transcendents.

  "Give them the best treatment," said Shi Xiaobai softly.

  The Infernal Queen nodded. "Alright."

  Shi Xiaobai hesitated for a moment and asked the Infernal Queen. "This King wants to make the country even better. What should This King do?"

  The Infernal Queen faltered for a moment and said seriously a few moments later. "Do as you did in the past. Darling, you have already done a very good job. You are the most perfect king that I've ever heard of, seen or imagined."

  When Shi Xiaobai heard this, he could not help but turn silent.

  Back in the Infernal King's bedroom, Shi Xiaobai had seen several books on governance and he had guessed that the Infernal King was probably an enlightened ruler, but he never expected that the Infernal King would be given such high acclaim.

  From the attitude of the Infernals, it was obvious that the Infernal King was an excellent monarch.

  "Let's go back."

  The Infernal Queen said when she noticed the darkening skies.

  They spent an entire afternoon's time to settle the matters regarding the four palace maids. As the most noble existence in the Infernal domain, Shi Xiaobai did not need to do so. It was also unprecedented for a king to personally apologize to his people.

  But because of this, the look of admiration and love in the Infernal Queen's eyes became more intense.

  When Shi Xiaobai heard this, he nodded. It suited him because he wanted to return to the Infernal King's bedroom to see if there were any clues left. He wanted to know what sort of king the Infernal King was.

  ...

  After returning to the palace, Shi Xiaobai did not immediately return to his bedroom. Instead, he first paid a visit to Sunless and company. He was surprised to discover Sunless, Pulp Farmer, and Liu Yu engrossed in their reading. Sunless had brought a few books back to her room, but Pulp Farmer and Liu Yu decided to stay put in the library. It could be euphemistically called 'reading by the lamplight'.

  When asked, it was revealed that many of the books in the Infernal Library were extremely beneficial to them. Many theories and knowledge were different from what the humans knew, but they had their own unique views. It gave them an enlightening feeling as they realized that things could be explained in particular ways.

  Even Sunless was full of praise of the Infernal domain's sword manuals. It even made Shi Xiaobai feel like grabbing a few books to read. However, Shi Xiaobai, who never had interest in reading, felt dizzy just thinking of the densely packed words in the books.

  It was enough just thinking about reading.

  Shi Xiaobai next went to the arsenal and discovered Feng Yuanlin still in there. Feng Yuanlin's superpower was not creating shields out of nothing. He needed to come into contact with real shields to be able to replicate them. By being able to come in close contact with the shields in the Infernal domain's arsenal was a great opportunity for Feng Yuanlin.

  Shi Xiaobai did not disturb Feng Yuanlin, who was immersed in enhancing his strength. He only conveniently took a shield and ate it along the way.

  The black metal shield that looked hard and sturdy tasted like chocolate cookies. Furthermore, its nutritional value was eleven. It was tasty and pragmatic. It completely trashed the hundred dishes cooked by the Infernal domain's chefs.

  Shi Xiaobai chewed the black metal shield in satisfaction as he thought about finding an opportunity to head to the arsenal tomorrow to have a sumptuous meal. Wouldn't that be great?

  When Shi Xiaobai walked past the silver-haired girl's room, he knocked on it gently but the girl did not open the door. Shi Xiaobai did not disturb her any further as it was likely for her to be asleep.

  After going his rounds, Shi Xiaobai finally returned to his bedroom.

  Shi Xiaobai pushed the door and entered. Scanning the room, he realized that the Infernal Queen wasn't in the bedroom. He was delighted because it was a perfect opportunity.

  Shi Xiaobai closed the door as he eagerly walked towards the desk, but just as he was halfway there, he heard a splash.

  Shi Xiaobai turned his head in shock and a naked figure came out of the water in the bathing pool.

  The first thing he saw was snow-white skin.

  The Infernal Queen, who came out of the bathing pool, was completely naked. The most private parts of her body were not covered in any way. Water droplets rolled down her smooth skin, but what was even more crystalline than the wa
ter droplets were her pair of charming eyes.

  "Darling, I'll do whatever you want to do tonight."

  Transcendence

  This day was destined to be a day forever recorded in history for Transcendence.

  In the afternoon, the western city wall had been destroyed. The gatekeeping giant had left and King Leonis had disappeared.

  But in the afternoon, the gatekeeping giant returned.

  And what was most astonishing was the head in the gatekeeping giant's hand.

  It was King Leonis's head.

  Leonis was dead!

  It sent shockwaves throughout Transcendence.

  And at that moment, the gatekeeping giant bellowed a terrible roar at Transcendence—"All of you get the fuck out and meet your new king!"

  Moments later, the residents of Transcendents realized that the new king the gatekeeping giant referred to was himself!

  The Transcendents scoffed. This watchdog that even beggars could bully wanted to be their new king? Even if King Leonis was dead, it would never be your turn!

  But soon, many people realized something. Why was King Leonis's head in the giant's hands?

  Combined with the giant's roar about usurping the throne, the Transcendents came to a terrifying conclusions—the giant had killed King Leonis!

  Regardless if it was a guess or fact, the giant's intentions of vying for the throne incurred the animosity of many powerful warriors.

  However, in a short afternoon, not a single person dared to make a sound.

  The eight Transcendent Bravehearts, including Moya, were easily overwhelmed by the giant. If not for the giant showing a tiny bit of mercy, the eight Bravehearts would have died instantly.

  At that moment, every Transcendent finally realized that the giant in front of them was very strong. He was ridiculously and unbelievably strong. He was even stronger than King Leonis!

  It was the tradition of the Transcendents where the strongest person was made king. Since the giant's strength was not to be doubted, he became the new king of Transcendence.
