"You, what have you done to us? Why have I become like this?"
The Black Blood Princess staggered, looking at Wen Wen and Song Ling in terror.
"We didn't do anything, we just made you beautiful. I remember that was your wish," Song Ling said with a smile to the Black Blood Princess.
A scene from three years ago suddenly flashed through the Black Blood Princess's mind:
At that time, their family of four, with the remnants of their inner world city-state, had come to the real world.
Everything here was strange to them, and they happened to witness the Hunter Association's main force easily annihilate the pursuers chasing them, and completely seal off an unstable passage that their city had taken hundreds of years to create.
Thus, they knew that in this world, a single misstep would lead to the same fate as those pursuers.
And at that moment, Song Ling appeared, as if a savior, easily resolving their predicament.
At that time, Song Ling squatted in front of her and kindly asked, "What is your dream?"
"I want to be beautiful..."
This was her answer, but there was one more sentence she hadn't spoken, which was 'I want to be with you...'.
Of course, after getting familiar with the real world in less than a month, she had thrown this thought out of her mind.
The naive feelings before were merely an instinct to rely on the strong under fear.
So now, the Black Blood Princess only harbored hatred towards Song Ling, and because of that fleeting good feeling, this hatred was even deeper.
"Now you have become beautiful enough that even if you enter the human world, you won't be detected as abnormal, nor will you be discovered and killed as a monster... because you are already half human!"
"I know you hate me, but in reality, only this wish is your truest desire. All other desires are just distorted cravings shaped by the chaos of the inner world."
"Do you know why I named this place Fairy Tale Town? Although you all look like monsters from fairy tales, that's not why."
"In my heart, the name of this place is..."
The Black Blood Princess sneered, "What if that barrier incites all the humans here to slaughter each other?"
"We have already placed a witch insect in the stomachs of all the humans here. As soon as the barrier is activated, all humans with witch insects in their stomachs will lose their minds. In such a situation, how many people can you save?"
Song Ling's expression became serious. If that were the case, after his strength disappeared, the Lion King must have already prepared to activate that barrier.
At that time, how many people in this town would survive?
If his plan proceeded smoothly, after he created so many quasi-superhumans, the Hunter Association would definitely not trouble him; instead, they might support his research.
But if a large number of humans died here, he might even end up on the Hunter Association's blacklist!
Therefore, he could no longer argue with the Black Blood Princess and directly said to Wen Wen, "I'm going to the palace now. You deal with her. If you can't stop those two, all my efforts will be in vain."
After speaking, he rushed straight to the palace.
Wen Wen pursed his lips. What did his efforts have to do with him, the great detective Wen?
However, with Song Ling gone, it was a good opportunity to contain monsters...
So Wen Wen approached the Black Blood Princess with a wicked smile. From today onwards, he had one more beautiful pet.
"You, what else do you want to do? Isn't the mission of you demon hunters to protect humans? Disaster is about to strike, what do you still want to do to me?"
The Black Blood Princess flinched, her body shrinking back. She had seen the cruel things her father would do to other female monsters when he made that expression, and Wen Wen had the same expression, making her extremely frightened now.
Compared to such an experience, she didn't even fear death.
"Tsk tsk, foolish woman, things aren't as serious as you say. Do you think you know where your strength went? It's all in the bodies of the ordinary people in town. They are now much stronger than you imagine. This so-called barrier might not necessarily cause them all to die."
"Also... it might not be humans who suffer, but perhaps the monsters whose strength has greatly diminished. So, I'd better focus on dealing with you for now."
"That guy Song Ling is just worried because he cares."
After speaking, Wen Wen continued to approach the terrified Black Blood Princess.
Seeing Wen Wen's ill intentions, the Black Blood Princess hardened her heart, deciding that she would not let Wen Wen succeed even if it meant death. Thus, she took out a half-red, half-green apple and bit into it fiercely.
This apple was what she had prepared to poison her own mother, the 'Ice Queen', but she never imagined that in the end, she would be the one to eat this apple.
As soon as she swallowed it, she collapsed on the ground, and the potent poison spread rapidly within her body.
Wen Wen scratched his head awkwardly. Was he that scary? He just intended to lock her up, not do anything excessive.
To her, was being in prison more terrifying than death?
In fact, the reason the Black Blood Princess ended up like this was purely due to her own dirty mind and overthinking. Wen Wen merely saw capturing beautiful or rare monsters as collecting pets, without any malicious intent. As the Sultan novel website states,
Even the most serious person might look a little perverted when they are happy petting a cat.
What's more, Wen Wen's expression always looks like a psychopathic killer when he's happy, like he's causing destruction when doing good deeds, and even his expressionless face looks like he's plotting an evil plan...
Thus, the awkward misunderstanding from the Black Blood Princess occurred, even terrifying her into suicide.
However, even though she had committed suicide, Wen Wen couldn't bear to let his collection die just like that. So he took out the cat-ear cup and poured the vomit-inducing agent that Tao Wen had drunk into the Black Blood Princess's mouth, making her vomit out some of the potent poison.
Then, Wen Wen took out a little unpolluted unicorn blood and fed her some.
With these, she should be able to maintain her life, but it was likely that she would remain in a coma forever.
