The palace was full of living people, but it felt like there wasn’t a single soul around.
Chen Xing felt like she’d walked into a factory full of machines, everything running on a set program.
The buildings here were made of ice blocks, already cold enough, but the people made it feel even colder.
“Achoo!!” Even Chen Xing, who was never afraid of the cold, couldn’t help but sneeze in this place.
If it weren’t for the Queen, she’d never have come to this godforsaken place.
Of course, Chen Xing couldn’t forget her real goal—the witch’s necklace.
It held her own power, and if she wanted to get back to her peak, she had to get it back.
Chen Xing was very sensitive to darkness, but her necklace seemed to be sealed by some kind of power.
According to the princess’s memories, it was trapped in thousand-year-old ice, so right now Chen Xing couldn’t sense where it was.
“Doesn’t matter.
As long as I capture the Queen, she’ll bring the necklace to me.”
Chen Xing wasn’t too worried about the necklace.
As long as she got the Queen, not only the necklace, but this whole country… would be shrouded in darkness.
“Hehehe, time to spread some darkness~” Chen Xing showed that classic villain’s sly, sinister grin, but it didn’t last long.
“Wait, what are you doing?” Chen Xing was placed on something like a chopping board, surrounded by a bunch of silver-white instruments and seven or eight cold-faced girls.
They immediately started trying to strip off Chen Xing’s clothes.
“This is a necessary check, to see if your body is clean and if you’re fit to be with Her Majesty the Queen.”
An old woman said this from the side, and for a moment Chen Xing didn’t know how to respond.
What did they mean by “clean body,” a virgin? But she had no idea if the witch’s body was still a virgin! She’d taken over the witch’s body after crossing over, and hadn’t done anything too outrageous, but what about the previous witch? Judging by her personality, she’d probably already… you know? Even Chen Xing, who hadn’t fully become a witch, was already pretty wild, so the previous witch must’ve been even worse.
And Little Dragon Girl was just… a total pervert.
And that was just one of the guardians.
Who knows what the others were like!? “Please don’t struggle, this process won’t take long and it doesn’t hurt.”
“Alright, fine.”
Chen Xing’s clothes were made of dark matter, there was no way they could tear them off, so she just took them off herself.
First, she took a bath, then those girls started a series of checks.
Even though they were all girls, being stared at by a bunch of cold faces made Chen Xing feel super uncomfortable.
The check was over quickly.
They used some kind of magic to examine her.
Chen Xing thought they’d force her to spread her legs, but it turned out she was overthinking it.
“No diseases, virgin, full and healthy body, suitable for reproduction…” Hearing the old woman’s words, Chen Xing was actually surprised.
“What the hell, the witch is such a slut but she’s actually a virgin? Damn… how do you even describe that? A proper bitch?” While Chen Xing was thinking this, the old woman brought over new clothes—a gorgeous dress, almost like a wedding gown, snow white and ice blue interwoven, absolutely beautiful.
The moment Chen Xing saw it, her eyes sparkled with stars ✨✨.
“Wow, it’s so pretty, that’s the vibe~” There aren’t many girls who could resist such a beautiful dress, but putting it on was a real hassle.
And come to think of it, Chen Xing hadn’t worn real clothes in ages.
That black material was part of her body, full of sensitive nerves, so in a way, she’d basically been running around naked.
A few people helped her into the dress, the feeling of fabric wrapping her body was something she hadn’t felt in a long time, but she couldn’t really feel the texture of the clothes, which was a bit weird.
But before Chen Xing could admire herself in the mirror, she was whisked away again, this time straight to the Queen’s bedchamber.
Now she was finally going to meet the Queen.
The icy bedchamber was at least minus thirty degrees, every breath turned to white mist, and there wasn’t a single bit of heating.
No one could possibly feel passionate in here, right? The Queen was at her desk by the bed, handling state affairs.
Her ice-blue hair was draped casually behind her, she wore plain white clothes, and her eyes never left the documents on the desk, not even glancing at Chen Xing.
“Hmph! Ծ‸Ծ” Seeing the Queen ignore her, Chen Xing pouted, feeling super annoyed! She was the Queen’s new bride, after all! Just going to give her the cold shoulder? If she wasn’t the Queen, with that attitude, she’d never find a wife in her life! “Um, Your Majesty the Queen.”
“……” The Queen didn’t respond, still focused on her work, apparently unable to be interrupted, all her attention on the task at hand.
The silent bedchamber was dead quiet, the air thick with awkwardness.
“ ” Being ignored made Chen Xing even more annoyed.
She’d imagined all kinds of first meetings, but never anything like this.
“Are you mute or something? Just wait, I’ll make you scream so loud the whole palace will hear!” Chen Xing made up her mind, the Queen’s indifference fired her up.
She was determined to use every trick she had on the Queen.
“Get on the bed.”
After finishing a sheet of paper, the Queen finally put down her pen, glanced at Chen Xing, and said flatly.
“Uh, okay.” Faced with the icy Queen, Chen Xing didn’t know what to say, so she obediently walked to the bed.
“Take off your clothes.”
Another cold command.
Chen Xing felt like the Queen was some kind of emotionally stunted CEO, and she was the dumb, sweet girl.
“Take off my clothes? In such a hurry?” Chen Xing couldn’t help but get nervous.
She’d inherited the witch’s personality, and as a human she’d always been the aggressive one, but now, thinking about lying on the bed like some inexperienced girl waiting to be taken, her body tensed up without her realizing.
To let the Queen drain her magic smoothly, Chen Xing couldn’t resist at first, letting the Queen do whatever she wanted, so basically, in the beginning, Chen Xing would be… “I-I’m about to be…” She’d thought it would be simple, but now that it was about to happen, her heart started pounding, her face turned red, and she didn’t look anything like the terrifying, dominant witch.
Even Little Dragon Girl inside her could sense something was off with her master’s body.
