My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Chapter 222: 91: Aunt, Are You Satisfied With My Gift? (Extra! Please Subscribe)_4

So she's already starting to imagine what it will be like for her in the Opera Department after this!?

At this moment, the Queen of the South Ming could only feel utter humiliation.

She, an avatar of the Abyss Demon Emperor, was being oppressed by a human to such an extent that she barely had any ability to resist.

As for the two options that Cheng Guang had just proposed, they equally tormented the Queen of the South Ming.

The first option was something she felt she could never accept, not to death.

Her pride would not allow her to do such a thing.

Even more so, she would not allow herself, even if only an avatar, to be humiliated by others in such a manner.

As for the second option, it was also very difficult.

Although Cheng Guang's target was not her, the Queen of the South Ming, but instead the King of South Ming, who was just a puppet between her and the Devil Clan.

In theory, she should not care about the life or death of a human puppet.

But this human puppet was an important intermediary through which they could indirectly control the dynasties of the Human Race in the Four Directions Mortal World.

If there were no King of South Ming, neither she nor the Devil Clan backing the king would likely be able to extend their influence into the Four Directions Mortal World.

The numerous humans within the Four Directions Mortal World, though they occasionally fought amongst themselves and dynasties changed constantly, were mostly just disputes within a large family, not amounting to much.

But if, once outsiders became involved,

then, at that time, the Queen of the South Ming and the Devil Clan behind the king, would not just be facing the Great Zhou Dynasty as their adversary,

but the suppression of all dynasties within the Four Directions Mortal World.

Even if her true self was the Abyss Demon Emperor, even if there were Devil Emperors among the Devil Clan,

facing the might of the entire Four Directions Mortal World, there still wouldn't be much resistance possible.

Once the King of South Ming was exposed, it would become unlikely for her and the Devil Emperor to divide the Great Zhou Dynasty, and how long until the next opportunity to extend their reach into the Four Directions Mortal World was unknown.

Moreover, it was worth mentioning that even though this avatar had merged with the blood of the Great Zhou Imperial Family, it was still insignificant compared to her original self.

For her true self, at most the loss would be some vitality, a period of time, and she could completely cultivate another identical avatar.

It didn't matter if the Queen of the South Ming herself died.

But the important chess piece that was the King of South Ming, could not die.

Thinking this, the color of the Queen of the South Ming's face slowly turned from pale to iron blue, and finally gradually darkened.

For a while, she didn't know what to do.

If she were the original self, naturally she wouldn't care about the life or death of an avatar.

But, when she herself was that avatar,

even though the thoughts and consciousness were the same person, the Queen of the South Ming still started to have some other thoughts.

At this moment, the Queen of the South Ming just thinking about the scene of being sent into the Opera Department by Cheng Guang, felt a chill throughout her body.

No matter what, she could not accept it.

After weighing the pros and cons,

the Queen of South Ming already had an answer in her heart, but she still didn't want to outright speak it so promptly and looked at Cheng Guang, attempting one last struggle.

"Is there no third option?"

"I've always treated you fairly, haven't I?"

"Do you really have to drive me to my death like this?"

Hearing the words of the Queen of South Ming, Cheng Guang just let out a cold laugh.

"Fairly treated? Are you implying that you didn't use all your strength when you tried to assassinate me or what?"

The Queen of South Ming fell silent.

The air seemed to solidify for a moment.

Her heart was still tangled.

Cheng Guang did not urge the Queen of South Ming, sipping his tea at an unhurried pace.

A moment later,

the Queen of South Ming sighed deeply, her eyes filled with suffering.

She slowly closed her eyes.

"Release me, and I'll tell you how to restore the King of South Ming to his original appearance, the way he longs for the crown prince."

Cheng Guang graciously smiled without rejecting.

His gaze fell upon Black Cub, who was a little drowsy and nodding off from time to time, looking like a timer keeping the pace.

Cheng Guang put down his teacup, walked over to Black Cub, grabbed its neck with one hand, and gave it a big slap, snapping Black Cub to attention instantly.

Its body shivered, eyes wide, staring blankly at Cheng Guang.

"Can you undo it?"

Cheng Guang pointed to the Queen of South Ming nearby, who was still stiff, standing motionless, stuck in a pose.

Black Cub whimpered, seemingly wanting to bite this human who frequently fed it a heavy slap, but eventually resigned itself and nodded meekly.

A paw reached out.

It just tapped the air.

A stream of black breath seemed to be drawn out from the Queen of South Ming by Black Cub.

Once the aura of the Queen of South Ming was extracted by Black Cub, her body instantly regained freedom, and she relaxed completely,

Her legs became weak.

If it weren't for the Queen of South Ming's concern for her own dignity, she probably would've collapsed to the floor right then and there.

Even so, the Queen of South Ming's frame still trembled slightly,

one could imagine just how much pressure she had been under.

The suppression by Black Cub on the Queen of South Ming was indeed strong.

Cheng Guang stroked his chin, looked at Black Cub, who was now looking foolish and timid, and then turned his gaze to the Queen of South Ming, whose legs were weak and body was swaying.

He found the situation quite amusing.

Cheng Guang calmly put down Black Cub, carelessly dropping it at his feet, and began toying with Black Cub's head with his foot, his indifferent gaze landing on the Queen of South Ming.
