Princess A Xia was in a trance, as if she had returned to the day when she was six years old and was almost bitten by a venomous snake in the Imperial Garden of the Eagle Kingdom.
She vaguely remembered that it was a sparkling, translucent, and very beautiful little red snake. It had a harmless appearance, and even a little cute.
However, when the ignorant princess reached out her hand, the little red snake's entire head split open, forming a big bloody mouth like a crab claw chrysanthemum, and viciously bit at her hand.
She was very timid at that time — she had always been timid. Her mind was blank, and she didn't dare and couldn't escape. She could only scream.
Then, with a flash of the knife, her father chopped off the venomous snake's head and stepped on the two halves of the body.
Princess Summer remembered that the king of the Eagle Kingdom, the indomitable, invincible, and omnipotent hero in her heart, her father, had embraced her and held her tightly in his arms.
Her father's big furry beard gave her a warm sense of security, making her feel like a baby bird reluctant to leave its nest and wanting to curl up in it for the rest of her life.
"Don't be afraid, my baby. It's already dead."
The King of the Eagle Kingdom said, "Dad killed it. Dad will protect you forever."
"Really?"
Princess A Xia remembered her young and ignorant self. Holding back her frightened tears, she asked in a trembling voice, "Dad, will you really protect A Xia forever?"
"Hahahaha!"
The King's laughter was like thunder on a summer afternoon. His strong chest vibrated gently, giving the princess a numbing sense of security. "Of course. You are my most lovely daughter and the pearl of the entire Eagle Kingdom. Whether it is me or the people of the Eagle Kingdom, we will protect you, love you, and make you carefree and happy forever. I swear!"
Princess A Xia remembered that when she heard her father say this, she heaved a sigh of relief and was completely relieved.
From then on, she didn't think about anything, worried about nothing, and didn't do anything. She just obediently listened to her father and "carefree and happy forever".
However, the next scene that appeared in her mind was that her father was lying in a pool of blood, with her uncle's long sword still stuck in his body.
He didn't die, but his eyes were wide with regret as he looked at his daughter who was hiding in the corner.
At the moment before his death, did he ever regret that he had showered his daughter with so much love? He had raised his daughter into a caged canary, to the extent that when disaster struck, his daughter could do nothing but watch him bleed to the last drop of blood.
Princess Xia remembered that when she stumbled out of the Imperial Palace, her mind was blank. Except for extreme fear and confusion, she couldn't arouse the slightest hatred for her uncle. Just like a mouse that was swallowed by a cat, it wouldn't dare to arouse the slightest hatred for the cat.
She seemed to hear her uncle killing her father and searching for her to no avail. Then he laughed in the palace. "Run, run, my dear Xia. Anyway, that's all you can do!"
"Dad, you're wrong, you're really wrong."
Princess Summer burst into tears. "No one can protect me forever except for myself. You can't, the people of the Eagle Kingdom can't, the legendary gods and demons can't. Only I, myself …"
The sharp pain evaporated her tears, and Princess Xia returned to reality.
Her neck was tightly wrapped by Black Jack's tentacles. Her vision was alternating between red and black, and the world around her was so distorted that she almost suffocated.
There were corpses dripping with blood all around. Those were the demons who refused to believe in evil. They gathered their last bit of courage and launched a new round of attacks on Black Jack. Then, they became fragmented, mangled remains.
Hera, Natasha, Vera, and Keer were still under Black Jack's control. Even though Princess Summer could sense that their sorrowful souls were emitting faint ripples, as if responding to her call, Princess Summer could still feel that their sorrowful souls were emitting faint ripples, as if responding to her call.
But they had lost themselves for too long, and Black Jack was too powerful. Princess Xia couldn't wake them up with her power alone.
"Now, do you still believe in hope?"
Supported by a few tentacles, Black Jack slowly floated in front of Princess Xia and looked at her with a smile. At the same time, he waved a slightly thinner tentacle and reached for Princess Xia's forehead. "Or, after suffering enough, you'll suddenly wake up and change your mind. You'll no longer ask for trouble and come back to my arms?"
Princess Xia looked at him and suddenly felt that this guy was quite funny.
It was strange that she fell in love with such a clown in the past. She was really blind!
"Bah."
Princess Summer spat out a mouthful of bloody spittle, as the rudest woman in the street did.
Black Jack narrowed his eyes. With a swish, the end of the tentacle split like a crab claw chrysanthemum and turned into a bloody mouth.
Everything seemed to have returned to the time when Princess Xia was six years old.
No, it was different.
At six years old, she only knew how to scream.
But now, she had learned to smile.
Moreover, she was holding the broken saber tightly.
Come on. You won't be arrogant for long. I've bought enough time. Han Te and Jade have gone back to ask for help. The fleet from the Pangu Universe will definitely destroy you completely! Princess Xia thought silently.
Or rather, she hoped so.
"Hiss!"
The bloody mouth full of fangs opened like a snake's head and bit at her fiercely.
She also squeezed out the last drop of strength from the depths of her soul. Waving her broken saber, she slashed at the tentacles behind the bloody mouth.
Black Jack's lips curled into a scornful grin.
The demons who hadn't died yet looked at Princess Xia, who was about to die tragically, with admiration and pity on their faces.
However, in the next second —
With a flash of white light, the snake head formed by the expanding tentacle flew high into the air. Blood spurted out, and the broken tentacle waved wildly. Black Jack screamed in shock and pain.
"Let go of that girl. I'm your opponent!"
A familiar yet strange voice drilled into Princess Xia's ears like lightning, making her widen her sparkling eyes in disbelief.
Then, Princess A Xia felt that the pressure on her body was greatly reduced. The tentacles that had been entangling her all hissed as if they were leaking air and retreated in a flurry.
She lost her restraints and fell from midair. However, she fell into another warm and soft embrace. She saw a pair of big, watery eyes that had once evoked her pride as a human and seemed to contain the stars in the sky.
"Han … Te … Theresa!"
Princess Xia was surprised and delighted. She didn't cry when she was fighting Black Jack just now, no matter how painful it was. But now, she couldn't control her hot tears from flowing freely. "You, you didn't leave. You, you changed back?"
"Yes, I didn't leave."
Theresa held the beauty in her arms and smiled. "We once said that we would fight side by side, didn't we?"
"Yes, but —"
Princess Xia couldn't control her gaze from Theresa's chest to her abdominal muscles. "Your, your aura has become so strong. Did you really, uh …"
"Yes, I made my choice," Theresa said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry about me. It's just a minor injury. I'll get used to it. Besides, it's not without benefits.
"… What benefits?" Princess Xia couldn't help but ask.
Theresa was silent for a long time.
"It's cooler this way."
She said faintly.
Then, she gently put Princess Xia on the ground and slowly straightened her slender and straight waist. She stared at Black Jack with the hottest, most hateful, and most furious eyes in the entire universe.
