  While the joint exploration team was putting on a lighthearted comedy in camp, far away in the eastern end of the Dominant Continent, the Kingdom of the Blue Moon was staging a somewhat ludicrous…… what would be a more suitable genre for this play? Perhaps it could be considered as a horror comedy.

  How…… how is that possible?!

  The stout, bearlike figure of Fish Ilo, the city lord of Ilo City, was slumped on the ground. Every muscle of his body was trembling. Even his shaky legs were no longer able to support the weight of his body, and thus, he was unable to stand. Even if all four limbs were used, he could only move like a worm as he slowly crawled back—in fact, he was subconsciously retreating.

  His crotch area had become a patch of scarlet red. There was fresh blood oozing all over the floor, and he was still bleeding non-stop. Judging by the condition of his wound, if treatment was not administered, it might not be long before this excessive bleeding alone would claim his life.

  Normally, at this point in time, he ought to have immediately called for an escort to get him to a doctor or priest for help. But because he was in a state of extreme fear and shock that caused his mind to go blank. He could not think of anything. He could only mumble “how is this possible” as he slowly moved back subconsciously to get as far away as possible from that figure before him.

  That was a figure he had known so well, every inch of it, from head to toe. But at this moment, he felt an extreme unfamiliarity as though he had never truly known the other party.

  She was an exceptionally beautiful lady with the reputation of the “Flower of Ilo.” Coming from an exceptionally noble bloodline, she was a descendant of the former Red Moon Dynasty of the Kingdom of the Blue Moon and was also known as the Red Moon Princess. The city lord of Garth City was a lady who never aged in appearance. Therefore, she had always been known as the “First Beauty of the East Coast.” Many believed that if not for her, the modern time “First Beauty of the East Coast” would rightfully be the Red Moon Princess.

  This was Fish Ilo’s sixth lady, his most favorite plaything. And her name was Sophie Red Moon.

  This beautiful lady who was 22 years of age was quite a prominent figure. In terms of bloodline, she was a descendant of the former Red Moon Dynasty. In terms of status, she was one of the successors of the Red Moon Chamber of Commerce. In terms of capability, she was quite an outstanding female scholar. On top of this, she was gentle, amicable and exceptionally beautiful. She had a very good reputation within Ilo City, and the number of young men who fancied her could probably form a circle around the entire city if they were to stand in line. Back then, Fish had indeed put in a great amount of effort and capital to get her. He had spared no efforts in trying all means possible.

  On the night that she was wed to Fish, there had to be many people in Ilo City who gritted their teeth and ground their blades in secret, though the exact number would not be known.

  Yet in the end, nothing really happened. People eventually forgot about this beautiful young lady whom they used to fancy so much. And only a line or two about her would be mentioned occasionally in casual conversations after a drink.

  \r \r \r

  Over the years, Fish had used her for his own pleasures by playing around with all sorts of things. Unlike his fourth lady, who had an adventurer background and could withstand all sorts of games that were really inconceivable, Sophie was not physically strong. However, no matter what Fish did to her, her gentleness and weak-willed nature did not allow her to put up any form of resistance. Fish derived extreme pleasure whenever he saw her nausea, agony and humiliation, or even when her entire body was violently trembling, and yet she did not dare to make a single complaint. The feeling he had was a complete conquest of this peerless beauty by utterly crushing her inside out—this was his greatest enjoyment. It was also the best way for him to vent the stress that he had accumulated from his usual ruling duties.

  But why did things turn out this way?

  Fish was in a daze as he tried to think.

  Sophie had not been in good spirits lately. It was possible that she might be a little sick.

  But he did not put it to heart. If she had fallen ill, then let her be ill. It was also fun to play with a sickly woman.

  But…… at this very moment, Sophie was completely different from her usual self.

  She no longer had her usual gentleness and timidity. She seemed composed and steady, and her eyes were peaceful like a calm sea. Her entire being was filled with an indescribable yet astounding rhythm.

  This astounding rhythm was like a charm that riveted his mind, slowing his ability of thoughts and drawing him into a daze. It made him forget himself and what he was supposed to do. Thus, he was unable to make any right choices.

  How slow were his thoughts and how dazed was he? From how he was still bleeding ceaselessly, anyone could tell.

  Earlier on, he had taken off his clothes and went over to her. As part of his usual routine, he tore off Sophie’s clothes and pressed her down on the study table. He was just about to begin in the usual position for a round of pleasurable indulgence, but at that moment, Sophie struck.

  Her right hand reached out gently. Then she grasped hold of that huge fellow that Fish had always prided himself on. With another gentle tug, she pulled it out from his crotch. A huge chunk of flesh went along with it.

  Fish was an advanced warrior. And he was no ordinary advanced warrior, but a descendant of the “Iron Bone Sect.”

  There were many martial art skills that were passed down in this world. For example, the blade master of Garth City, Leon Igor, had inherited the “Eagle Wing Sword,” and one of the legal advisors of the Bureau of Civil Affairs of Void City, Cambrona, had acquired the martial skill of the “Eight Swords of Virtue” from the Tolerant Knights. The “Iron Bone Sect” did not have anything high-end like the “Eagle Wing Sword,” but what it had was definitely not something so common like the “Broken Mountain Axe” that could be seen everywhere.

  This was a skill that the Ilo family had created based on the martial skills of a certain dwarf and had been refined over the years. The greatest advantage of this martial skill was that it could enhance defensive abilities. It was said that if this skill was practiced to perfection, one’s chest could even defend against strong bows and one’s arm could resist giant hammers. There would be no cause for fear even if a meteorite were to fall from the sky. One’s head would be hard enough to take the blow.

  Of course, Fish had not practiced to the extent where he had become so perversely powerful. However, the defensive ability of his physical body had become formidable. Even with their swords, ordinary people could dream on if they ever wanted to hurt even a single strand of hair on him. He did not even need to dodge or block. Even if he were just to stand there, so long as he covered the vulnerable parts like his nose and ears well, the remaining parts would not sustain a single injury no matter how they were hacked at or pierced.

  Over the years, he had encountered more than one assassination, and yet, there was not one assassinator that could truly hurt him. On the contrary, there was a female assassinator who was conquered by his powerful “Third Leg” and became his third lady.

  However, just a moment ago, the frail, timid and weak Sophie had used her delicate hands that seemed so feeble and void of strength to gently grasp Fish’s powerful “middle leg” and simply pulled it off by the root.

  Totally by the root……

  Due to the extreme shock, Fish even forgot about the pain. He slumped on the ground in a daze as he watched Sophie turned about. Her naked body seemed exceptionally seductive with fresh blood splattered all over it, but it filled him with an oppressive force that made him shudder all over in fear.

  She had no intention of going over to finish him off. She merely stood where she was and looked at Fish in a peaceful manner. Then, she crumbled that astoundingly-sized thing in her hand.

  Fish said nothing. She said nothing. The two people who had been husband and wife for five years merely looked at one another. Both of them were naked and simply looked as though they were having some intimate fun in their boudoir.

  But this was definitely not the sort of fun that the city lord of Ilo City would have in mind. And it was also not something that Sophie was capable of.

  Clearly, she could not even look Fish in the eye!

  After a while, Fish’s eyes began to lose focus. The excessive loss of blood had made him extremely weak, and everything before him began to blur.

  Finally, he slumped and fell down. He could not speak a single word, even up to his last breath before death.

  Whether it was a question of doubt or a cry for help, he could not make a single utterance at all.

  After his soul had fallen deep into the underworld, Sophie Red Moon sat down again and wiped her blood-stained hands clean with a piece of expensive silk.

  “It’s finally over,” she said in a calm tone that was definitely not that of Sophie’s. “My descendant has actually been degraded to the point of sacrificing her beauty to complete a deed. The thought of it is simply pathetic!”

  At that moment, she suddenly reverted to her usual delicate and timid self. Apprehensively, she said, “But…… this way, it will be a disaster in the making for the Red Moon family……”

  “So what if there’s an imminent disaster?” she sneered. Once again, she was back to Sophie who spoke in a firm tone, and said, “How can you be so useless? All of you don’t deserve to live as my descendants. If you all can’t pull through this, then your deaths will be good riddance.”

  “This is the test that I, the founder of the Red Moon Dynasty, your honorable ancestor, have given you!”
