Allen and An Qi are both prisoners of war of the Yabei tribe, but their situations are different.
In the past two years, Angel gradually grew into an invincible champion in the arena.
Whenever she competes, thousands of enthusiastic fans come to support her.
It is so popular that it can be called the top star in the hive city!
Even Queen Bee Abe often comes to watch Angel's gladiatorial matches and becomes her fan.
"It's unimaginable that such a petite and exquisite girl can easily defeat soldiers who are much taller and stronger than her."
"Courage and skill are perfectly reflected in her!"
Queen Bee was full of praise for Angel's performance.
In the past two years, Angel's winning streak has reached an unprecedented forty-five games.
The queen bee made a promise that as long as Angel wins five more games, she will be awarded the title of "Honorary Yabei Bee".
After that, Angel can leave the arena and settle in the hive city as a citizen.
If she is willing, she can also work for Queen Abe and join the Abe Corps as a mercenary.
All in all, An Qi’s life is full of hardships and joys, and she is getting more and more hopeful!
In contrast, Allen has been out of the public eye since he was adopted by General Eva.
The once popular brothel courtesan is no longer a topic of conversation.
Allen doesn't care about these false claims.
What he cares more about is... he is going to be a father!
Not long after General Eva dated him, she became pregnant.
Seeing her belly getting fuller day by day, General Eva also felt a sense of urgency in her heart.
Allen is her extremely infatuated husband, and the little baby in her belly is the fruit of the couple's love.
These are indisputable facts.
But in the eyes of others, they are not a legal couple.
This is because Allen has still not got rid of his lowly status in a brothel.
Indeed, this year, he and Eva have been just like husband and wife and have not received any other guests.
However, a bus is for private use. After all, it is still a bus in name only.
Every weekend, Allen had to go back to the brothel.
Report your business for this week and hand over most of your income.
This money was paid by General Eva, but Allen had to report it in person and accept official management.
As a lowly person, of course he cannot become General Eva's legal spouse.
The baby girl who is about to be born is just an illegitimate daughter.
Allen doesn't care much about these things.
As long as his daughter recognizes him as her father, he will be satisfied.
But Eva was unwilling to give in.
How could someone as arrogant as her tolerate her precious daughter being pointed at and called a fatherless bastard?!
General Eva longs for a legitimate husband and a complete family for her daughter.
For this reason, she entered the palace with a big belly and met the queen bee.
He begged his mother to show mercy, erase Allen's status as a brothel, and reward her as a son-in-law.
With her mother's decree granting marriage, she could justifiably hold a replacement wedding.
Since the end of the Flower Field War, weapons have been put into storage in the past two years.
Queen Abe hasn't seen Eva for a while.
I couldn't help but be surprised to see that this "iron virgin" was actually pregnant and about to give birth.
Then he became very curious about the man who could make the "Iron Maiden" deeply obsessed and conceive a child.
Queen Abe did not reject Eva's request, but she also did not agree immediately.
He just said that he should choose a good day to hold a happy event for her.
Eva took it for granted that her mother's words meant she agreed to the marriage, so she returned home and excitedly prepared for the wedding.
However, not long after, she became extremely happy and sad.
On weekends, Allen went back to the brothel to report as usual.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I felt that the atmosphere was not right.
A heavily armed Kingsguard guarded the door.
"Are you Allen?"
A soldier came forward to ask.
Allen nodded.
"Come with us!"
"Where do you want to take me?"
"Don't you recognize us Kingsguard? Where else could you go!"
Soldier Bee had a weird smile.
"Behave well tonight! Otherwise... hehe... I'm afraid you'll go to bed with a head on your shoulders and wake up without one!"
Allen's heart suddenly skipped a beat!
The scene of being blessed by Queen Trier came to mind again.
For some reason, Queen Yabe became interested in him, a has-been courtesan, and ordered the guards to take him to the palace to sleep with him.
Allen knew in his heart that Queen Abe was not a good-tempered woman like Queen Trier.
Her unruly and capricious temperament was criticized even among her people.
If I don't take care of this bad-tempered queen bee, I will lose my head in a minute!
The incident happened so suddenly that Allen had no time to contact Eva.
That night, I slept with him on the phoenix bed in the palace.
Queen Abe visited Allen initially just to satisfy her curiosity.
I want to experience for myself the magic power of this man who can make the "Iron Maiden" obsessed and pregnant with a child.
After giving it a try, it was like opening the door to a new world!
Afterwards, Queen Bee lay softly in Allen's arms.
Eat the marrow and know the taste, and you can't stop eating it.
Compared with this peerless beauty, every drone in his harem is trash!
On this beautiful spring night, Queen Yabe's mentality changed subtly.
The next day, despite Allen's repeated refusals, the Queen Bee resolutely took him into the harem.
As for Eva...
Queen Bee did not treat this hero badly.
Isn't Eva anxious to get married?
The queen bee selected a male bee from her harem and gave it to Eva as her husband.
Anyway, Eva has been developed by Allen, and other men must be able to meet her needs.
Besides, she is already pregnant with Allen's son and has an heir. If she doesn't like Yuci's son-in-law, she can find another new love.
Queen Bee thought she had done her best to be benevolent.
Eva doesn't think so!
When I learned that my lover was forcibly detained by her mother and brought into the harem, I was so angry that I almost went crazy!
Queen Yabe considered the gift of a son-in-law as compensation for her.
But in Eva's opinion, it was tantamount to naked humiliation!
Someone stole her love, robbed her of treasures, and gave her a piece of shit. Could this be considered a gift?
Eva is deeply ashamed!
In a rage, he killed Yuci's son-in-law to vent his anger!
Things are getting serious now!
He is a son-in-law given by the emperor, and his family status is not high, but he is a person from the palace after all, and represents his majesty’s face!
General Eva hacked his wife-in-law to death in public. This was tantamount to slapping His Majesty in the face and committing a crime of great disrespect!
When the news reached the palace, Queen Yabe was shocked and angry!
General Eva has long been suspected of shocking his master with his great achievements.
Now she is so rebellious and dares to kill the drone she gave her. Could it be that she has the intention of treason and usurping the throne?!
Must be severely punished!
The Kingsguard surrounded the general's palace overnight.
General Eva, who was about to give birth, gave up her resistance and silently accepted the fate of being imprisoned pending trial.
The news spread and the whole city was in uproar for a while.
The people who learned the truth privately felt aggrieved for the general.
The generals in the army begged the Queen Bee to be lenient in punishing General Eva.
The more public opinion sympathizes with Eva and the more people intercede on her behalf, the less at ease the queen bee feels.
Eva has outstanding military achievements and high popularity. What if we let her out, raise a voice and start a rebellion?
Queen Yabei has a murderous intention!
Taking into account the impact of public opinion, Eva cannot be executed directly, otherwise the morale of the army will be unstable and a mutiny will inevitably occur.
After some weighing, Queen Abe ordered Eva to be relieved of her position, demoted to a slave, and sent to the arena.
In order to appease the people's emotions, the Queen Bee showed extra mercy and allowed General Eva to receive special treatment in the arena.
There is no need to fight before she gives birth.
After giving birth, Zain allowed her to rest for ten days.
Afterwards, Her Majesty the Queen Bee will arrive in person to watch Eva's first gladiatorial fight.
If Eva can win the game and kill her powerful enemy, the Queen Bee will pardon her death penalty and return her freedom.
As for who is Eva’s gladiatorial opponent?
The queen bee did not disclose it, and there are divergent opinions among the public.
There are endless rumors.
This battle has become a new hot topic in the hive city.
The voices crying out for General Eva were also suppressed.
I don't know whether it was a deliberate arrangement or a coincidence, but Eva's dormitory in the arena was right next door to An Qi's.
An Qi originally hated this bad woman who took away her senior brother.
However, seeing her being unjustly imprisoned and having a big belly, doing laundry and cooking, it was very difficult for her, and I couldn't help but feel sympathy for her.
That night, she heard painful moans coming from next door.
Really unable to bear it, he pushed open the door, took the initiative to enter the house, and took care of Eva, who was suffering from the pain of prepartum labor.
In fact, she couldn't do much, she just held Eva's hand, chatted with her, and comforted her.
Two rivals in love were in the same room, they felt sympathy for each other and overcame their jealousy.
The atmosphere gradually changed from awkward to harmonious.
Eva took the oranges given by fans, peeled out the pulp, and fed it to Eva.
Eva silently accepted her care, with gratitude in her eyes.
For the next few days, Angel took care of Eva with all her heart.
Forced by the environment, she trained an inexperienced little girl to become a competent confinement nanny and midwife.
Due to years of practicing hard martial arts, Eva had a special constitution and was unable to give birth naturally.
Angel had no other choice but to take the risk.
With Eva's consent, after she dispersed the secret method of body refining, he used a cold iron dagger to perform a caesarean section on her in a hurry.
In the end, the dagger was curled, and the birth was finally successful.
Eva bit off the umbilical cord herself and put the baby aside.
An Qi is still busy.
The bee needle threaded the grudge silk thread and sutured Eva's wound.
After all, Eva is a fourth-level strong person with a strong body and a "rapid self-healing" physique, which can withstand the torment of An Qi, a fussy little nurse.
The wound stopped bleeding quickly and healed slowly.
On the night of childbirth, there were no surprises.
The baby is also surprisingly well-behaved.
He didn't cry or fuss, just lay in his mother's arms and drink milk.
An Qi looked at the baby focused on drinking milk, and couldn't help but think of Allen immersed in cooking, and smiled knowingly.
"The baby is so cute! He looks like a big brother when he eats!"
"Well, I think so too."
Eva hugged her daughter with a gentle smile on her face.
…
Eva successfully gave birth to a daughter, and the news spread to the palace.
Queen Yabei made some calculations and ordered the guards to pass the order and summon An Qi to the palace to see her.
"Of all the gladiators, I like you the most."
After meeting, the queen bee said to An Qi in a pleasant manner.
"If I remember correctly, you have won forty-nine games in a row."
"As long as you win one more game, you will be free."
"To tell you the truth, in this last battle, I am going to arrange a duel between you and Eva."
Angel actually had expected it.
However, hearing the queen bee tell this cruel arrangement from her own words, she still couldn't help but feel her heart twitch.
The queen bee observed the change in her face, half smiling but not smiling.
"An Qi, I have inquired about your origins, and I also know about your grudges with Eva."
"On the battlefield, if she hadn't taken action herself, both you and Allen would have had the chance to escape."
"It's all because of Eva that you became a prisoner of war and had to fight bloody battles in the gladiatorial arena to survive until today."
"Now, you have a good chance to get revenge."
"Your Majesty...with all due respect." An Qi said bravely, "My strength is not enough to defeat General Eva."
"If you expect me to kill her in the arena, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."
She knew that the queen bee was using her as a knife to kill people.
Angel doesn't want to be manipulated by the queen bee and serve as her murder weapon.
What's more, after getting along day and night during this period, she and Eva had gone from being rivals who hated each other to becoming close friends who shared the same illness and talked about everything.
She couldn't bear to use Eva's body as a stepping stone to the door to freedom.
However, her wishes were not worth anything in the eyes of Queen Bee.
"Don't be afraid, An Qi, I know the strength gap between you and Eva, so I have prepared a magic weapon for you to defeat the enemy."
The queen bee turned around and took out a thin sword from the weapon rack.
"This sword is called 'Queen's Needle' and is the royal family's most precious treasure."
The Queen's Needle is a level 3 enchanted cold iron weapon with additional "sharp edge" and "bleeding" special effects!
With this sword in hand, An Qi can easily pierce through Eva's body-refining skills. The wound will bleed and cannot heal on its own!
Angel had no room for refusal.
If you dare to say "no" in front of the queen bee, the Queen Bee will immediately pierce her heart!
An Qi bit her lip and silently took the queen's needle.
At this moment, she really wanted to draw her sword and kill the queen bee!
However, I finally endured it.
The queen bee's strength is still higher than that of Eva, not to mention a large group of guards guarding the door.
If she dared to show her murderous intent here, she would be chopped into pieces by the swarming guards immediately!
Angel entered the world of meditation for the purpose of spiritual practice.
Impulsively dying in the palace would be of no benefit to her spiritual practice.
…
An Qi returned to the arena with the magic sword "Queen's Needle".
I paced back and forth in my room, hesitated for a long time, and finally made up my mind.
He pushed open the door of the next door and walked to the bed of Eva and her daughter.
"Baby, Aunt Anqi is back! Are you happy?"
Eva rushed to An Qi and shook her daughter's white and cute little hands.
The baby girl looked at Angel with her dark eyes and grinned.
An Qi felt inexplicably sad.
He sat down by the bed, took the baby girl from Eva's hands, and held her gently in her arms.
"Sister Eva, I just came back from the palace and I have something to tell you."
An Qi told the queen bee exactly what she meant.
Eva took the magic sword she handed her.
He pulled out the sharp sword blade, looked at it, and admired it with a wry smile.
"What a great sword!"
"If I can die under the queen's needle, my life will be considered worthy."
"Sister Eva..."
"An Qi, listen to me, on the night of the fight, I must die!"
"If I don't die, my mother will feel uneasy!"
"Even if you don't kill me, she will still send someone else to kill me."
"It's better to die by your sword. At least I can get you a free body."
"An Qi, I have already decided to name my daughter Ai Qi."
"After I die, I will leave Aiqi to you."
"I hope you can take care of her as your own daughter."
"After you take your daughter out, if you have a chance to see Allen, tell him that I have no regrets in my life."
At this point, both Eva and An Qi burst into tears.
The baby girl in her arms opened her eyes in confusion, unaware of the helplessness and pain in the world.
Angie, I really want to tell Eva.
It is better to be willing to sacrifice oneself than to be forced to kill her.
However, her reason finally defeated her impulse.
She must always remember that she lives in a world of meditation and in the memories of her ancestors.
No matter how much sacrifice she makes, it is impossible to save Eva, who has long perished in the long river of history.
The scenes of joys and sorrows we experience now are nothing more than echoes of history.
She must harden her heart and reject the weak mentality of "crying for the ancients".
Adhering to the ruthless way is the principle of the sorcerer's practice.
Characters who fail to cross this threshold and are completely brought into meditation will be captured by their inner demons.
Unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, wallowing in the dust of history, one wastes one's own future.
She cannot afford such consequences!
Only by hardening your heart and accepting Eva's sacrifice can you resolve the obsession with the ancestors and achieve perfect meditation.
On this cold, windy and rainy night, both Angel and Eva had resigned themselves to their fate.
In the same hive city, Allen is unwilling to accept his fate.
On the same night, he was trying to solve the dilemma in his own way.
When they are at the end of their rope, they find a way out that even Angel and Eva dare not imagine!
…
In the blink of an eye, it has been a month since Allen entered the palace.
For a whole month, he was under house arrest in the palace and could not receive any news from outside the palace.
Eva and Angie, how are they doing now?
He didn't know and didn't dare to ask.
Asking the queen bee is tantamount to confessing an unforgettable relationship.
The queen bee might become jealous and catch Eva and An Qi and throw them away.
Asking the palace guards or male favorites is tantamount to giving someone a clue. If they tell the queen bee, he may fall out of favor.
The queen bee's harem is like a battlefield without smoke.
Everyone is forced into the whirlpool of life-and-death palace fighting!
Being favored is not only the capital for success, but also a curse that makes people jealous.
Allen knew in his heart that once he fell out of favor, he would be killed!
In order to survive, he must endure.
Put aside your pride, go out of your way to please the queen bee, and make her fascinated.
At the same time, Allen did not dare to be arrogant at all.
He carefully avoided any words or deeds that might arouse the queen bee's suspicion.
As for the concern for my junior sister, General Eva and her relatives, I can only hide it deep in my heart and worry alone.
This month, the queen bee only favored Allen, neglecting other male favorites in the harem.
Naturally, Allen becomes a thorn in the side of other male favorites.
In particular, the queen bee's two favorite drones, East Palace and West Palace, were particularly hostile to Allen.
The two drones were originally the men in the palace closest to the title of "Prince (Prince Husband)".
In order to compete for the status of the queen bee's legal spouse, the two have fought to the death for many years.
What they didn't expect was that Allen stepped in. In just one month, he rushed to the leading position in the competition for the title of prince, leaving the two of them behind.
What's even more terrible is that Her Majesty the Queen Bee's fascination with Allen has exceeded the normal limit and is like crazy.
For a whole month, except for Allen, she had not been blessed with any other male favorite.
The looks in the eyes of other male favorites even reveal undisguised disgust.
It was as if he was shocked. Why had he treated these idiots as treasures and kept them in the harem to waste food in the past few years?
If this continues, Allen will soon completely conquer His Majesty's body and soul and become the irreplaceable master of the harem!
East Palace and West Palace cannot tolerate this happening.
Two old enemies, faced with a common threat, joined forces for the first time to compete with Allen for favor.
One pretends to be ill and is possessed by green tea, trying to arouse the queen bee's pity.
The other pretended to be a white lotus and took the initiative to approach Allen to show his kindness.
What Allen is best at is dealing with all kinds of green tea bitches and white lotus bitches.
The hatred between peers is the most naked, and they are also the most sensitive to each other's malice.
In his eyes, the little tricks of East Palace and West Palace are just being smart.
Allen did not fall out with the two drones.
Directly ask Ancestor Renee to possess her and create a "silly, sweet" character.
On the one hand, he accepted Nishimiya's overtures, fought fiercely with him, cut off the chicken's head to worship him, and became brothers with different surnames.
On the one hand, he took the initiative to visit the East Palace and asked about his welfare.
Later, Allen took the opportunity of sleeping in bed to talk about Dong Gong's condition in front of the queen bee, intentionally or unintentionally.
I sincerely ask Your Majesty to take care of old friendship and take the time to visit the East Palace.
The queen bee is not stupid, so she doesn't know that Dong Gong is pretending to be sick.
He didn't expose it to his face, but in his heart he became increasingly tired of his hypocritical manner.
I am deeply pleased with Allen's understanding and understanding of how to unite the harem.
"My dear, you must be the master of the harem!"
The next day, His Majesty issued an edict, officially conferring Alan the title of Prince of Abe and the deputy king of the country.
Externally, the prince is only the nominal second-in-command of the Yabei clan and has no real power.
Internally, he is the real master of the harem, commanding all the male favorites!
If Allen doesn't like a male favorite, theoretically, he can kill him first and then show off.
Crime?
He deceives his subordinates and flatters his superiors, does not abide by male virtues, and brings trouble to the harem.
If the all-powerful hat is put down, who can withstand it?
Of course, Allen did not intend to use Wang Fu's power easily.
Being arrogant due to favor will lead to disaster.
The East Palace and the West Palace watched helplessly as Allen climbed on top of them and gained His Majesty's favor, and their teeth were itching with hatred.
However, they still have a chance to fight back!
Allen is a stranger and does not understand the secrets of the palace.
When you first ascend to the throne of a royal husband, you will be so honored and favored that you will inevitably get carried away.
I'm afraid you still don't know that if you want to be the master of the harem, you have to pass a secret and fatal test!
In the past ten years or so, Queen Bee Yabei has also conferred the title of husband to other princes, but none of them has been able to overcome this hurdle.
From being favored to suddenly disappearing from the world, no one knows the inside story.
East Palace and West Palace, there is reason to believe.
Sooner or later, Allen finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and embarked on the path of self-destruction!
The two of them suppressed their jealousy and waited silently...
Watch him build a red tower, watch him entertain guests, watch his tower collapse.
On the night of the canonization, the queen bee summoned Allen to sleep with him.
I personally handed him a bunch of keys and solemnly told him:
"Each key corresponds to a door in the palace."
"You can enter and exit all rooms at any time."
"One of the small blue doors must be opened with a blue key."
"There is a secret passage inside that leads to the outside of the palace."
"My dear, if you get tired of life in the palace one day, don't tell me, just open the little blue door and leave quietly."
"You will lose your current glory and wealth, and you will also gain freedom."
"As for whether it's worth it? It depends on your own choice."
"This door of freedom is only open to Mr. Wang."
"This is a promise from me to the person I love most."
"This key proves how deep my love for you is."
Allen accepted the key and thanked the Lord for his kindness.
After all the confusion, the queen was limp and contented.
Alan serves the queen bee to bed.
When she fell asleep, she couldn't help but feel restless inside.
Open that door and you can leave the harem?
Is this true, or is it a test?
He really wanted to leave the palace and visit his junior sister and General Eva.
However, if this is a trap, wouldn't it be asking for death?
Allen resisted the urge to leave.
Another week passed in the blink of an eye.
That afternoon, Nishimiya invited him to have tea.
Intentionally or unintentionally, he revealed two pieces of news that were making waves in the city.
"Your Highness Allen, have you heard?"
"General Eva gave birth to a baby girl in prison, named Aiqi."
"What kind of strange man is actually able to pry open the 'Iron Virgin' and make her pregnant and give birth to a daughter? It's incredible!"
"I also heard that in three days, General Eva will have a duel with Angel, the annual champion of the arena."
"Eva and An Qi, only one of them is destined to survive."
"I want to watch this gladiatorial match, but it's a pity that I can't leave the palace."
"Your Highness Allen is deeply favored by His Majesty, why don't you ask His Majesty to take you out of the palace to watch this much-anticipated showdown?"
"That's it...I'll ask Your Majesty later to give it a try."
Allen sent Nishinomiya away, feeling unable to calm down for a long time.
The situation of his junior sister and Eva was worse than he imagined.
The two are forced to duel, and one of them will die.
How to break this deadlock?
Allen took out the bunch of keys and held them in his hand.
A strong impulse grew in his heart.
In the dusk, Allen avoided the sight of the palace people and walked alone in a hurry.
Go through the maze-like corridor and come to the blue door.
Allen stood outside the door and picked up the key.
By opening this door, he can regain his freedom and see his junior sister and Eva again, as well as his own flesh and blood.
However……
Allen stood outside the door, his eyes slightly focused.
Before entering, be cautious.
He turned on "Toxin Detection" and "Qi Sensing".
The result shocked him greatly.
Two level 6 toxins detected!
One of them is bee venom.
The other one is very unfamiliar.
The invisible energy that spreads out penetrates the keyhole.
A familiar vital sign was detected.
That's right, Queen Yabe is right behind this door.
The source of the level 6 bee venom was on her body.
Allen is very familiar with the queen bee's body and will never make a mistake.
The problem is that the qi machine sensor also detects another signal.
An evil, strange and extremely powerful aura!
A conservative estimate is that the strength is not lower than the early stage of fifth level!
How could there be a fifth-level monster hidden deep in the queen bee's palace?!
The more Allen thought about it, the more frightened he became, and doubts filled his mind.
He could only be certain of one thing.
This door is definitely not a "door to freedom"!
Open this door.
What awaits you is not freedom, but death!
Allen stood silently outside the door, in a dilemma.
Although he didn't dare to open the door, he didn't dare to turn around and leave.
Because, two powerful breaths...
It has radiated through the door.
Like the aiming star of a sniper rifle, it was locked on him.
Queen Yabe and the fifth-level mysterious existence discovered him.
Want to leave now? It’s too late!
Drops of cold sweat seeped down my spine.
Allen tried to keep his breathing steady.
Just stand there silently until the sun sets and the moon rises.
Exhale slowly.
He turned around and walked toward the door.
After being in a stalemate for so long, he decided to go all out and give it a try.
