Woman's jealousy

Chapter 22: Woman's jealousy

"Role-play? A fucking role-play?" Bei gawked at the couple's back.

Yuna had given her a short summary of their struggle against the armored existences, then glared at Bei over her shoulder.

That kind of a gaze was somewhat intriguing, but Bei flinched and asked softly, "What did I do wrong, Elder Sister?"

"Minato used 'Twat' when he went mad..." Yuna believed her husband was overly serious during their role-play, and that was what had shattered the armored existence to the pebbles!

However, if he was so serious, why would he call their enemy with such a word? That was pretty much Bei's exclusive word, and no one dared to use it in their family and their friend's circles.

Of course, why would the Royal Family use such a word? It was more about friends, but Yuna was more worried for her husband...

Bei blinked, then sneered, "My boy!"

"What?!" Yuna snapped and stomped on the ground!

"I mean! I mean, that's so good, isn't it? Twat is a powerful word! So powerful no one other than me dares to use it around," Bei puffed her ample chest and looked toward Minato with approval.

"You are so stupid..." Yuna sighed and turned around.

Her sister was no good, and Yuna had already seen through her! The blonde-haired fox didn't say anything and just held her husband's arm as they went toward the Snake Concubine's chambers.

Minato smiled at them, "You two are indeed sisters."

Bei harumphed, "Hmph! Of course, we are... By the way, I have a good, another word for you so that my elder sister won't get mad at me.

The second part was said through Mind Whisper.

Minato listened to his wife's sister with a broad smile, but his cheeks retracted after hearing her synonym.

Bei said with a joyous look, "Use 'Dickhead' next time!"

Minato chuckled, "I will remember that."

It was a different reaction, so Bei just nodded and followed them with a gleeful smile. She blamed their safety for her good mood. Still, Minato and Yuna's story had played a significant part in it, particularly the husband.

At last, Minato found himself in another room.

He didn't see any building outside but entered it straight from the spatial crack.

He saw the emperor's bed that could probably stuff a few women and one lucky man inside. Bed sheets hid the content, but Minato saw the outlined Snake Concubine's body.

Alas, when the sheets went up, Minato didn't see the flesh but the stone statue.

Yuna and Bei had predicted that outcome.

Snake Concubine was nothing but a memory of the past, and she survived through her strong willpower.

Essentially, it wasn't Snake Concubine but a part of her.

Her voice came from the statue, "I am jealous of you two... I wanted Trash Kai to look at me the way your husband looks at you, fox woman. I wanted him to embrace me and genuinely fill my head with sweet whispers.

I wasn't fated... I wasn't destined to be a fulfilled woman," If tears could come out of the statue, these would've already sullied her curves.

Snake Concubine sighed.

She explained about her arrival here, "You have a part of his rune. Do you know what it means? Many more challenges await you two. I don't know why I have sensed you this early, but you've managed to overcome me."

"I would never allow Yuna or Bei to die before me," Minato smiled.

"You deserve a reward..." Snake Concubine's eyes flashed, and her light pierced through Minato's abdomen.

Aya oversaw the change within his world, and she saw a new rune appearing in the Overlord Pillar!

She jumped in excitement!

Back to the Snake Concubine's chamber, Snake Concubine stared at Minato, then said, "You will probably tread on a different path compared to all other overlords. Unfortunately, we are still enemies..."

A heavy pressure suddenly descended onto the room!

Minato's instincts alerted him, and he threw his eyes behind.

Yes, he didn't look at Yuna but at Bei!

That was because he felt a sudden killing intent wrapping itself around it.

Snake Concubine said, "You can never underestimate a woman's jealousy, Minato. This jealousy will keep me alive, and I will continue to hunt Trash Kai's bloodline and Overlords with his rune."

"Stop it! Stop it at once!" Minato shouted back at her, to no avail.

Snake's killing intent had already invaded Bei's body.

Her whole self exploded with countless slashes that came from within! Her blood entirely covered her, and she looked so miserable Minato cried out, "Stop it, I said!"

Bei's skin paled, and she began withering, turning older and ugly.

From behind, Snake Concubine said, "She's so beautiful... High Spirit, a perfect human being. Those charming eyes and mesmerizing curves... Her silky black hair and red lips... A perfect human, no less, no more... I wanted that body... I wanted it so much..."

Yuna didn't stay idle, "My husband said enough, so it's enough!"

She slammed her hand against the statue, but the unknown barrier stopped her. It had the same effect as the whole room, rendering Yuna's high strength useless.

Fox Wife bit her lips and stared at the statue with hopeless eyes.

"That's a farewell," Snake Concubine declared, "If you keep a low strength, you will continue to lose precious at every big point... I hope I will see you in the future."

Minato spoke through his clenched teeth, "We are the enemies... I don't give a crap about your reward! You've hurt Bei! I am going to hunt you just as you hunt that dickhead Kai! Got it?!"

"I got it," Snake Concubine said, then her whole room began disappearing.

She glanced at Bei for the last time, then her vision turned black...

After she disappeared, her jealousy heightened, "I could've killed her... I am still soft, am I not?"

Snake Concubine could've used petrifying eyes and turned Bei into a statue with high sensitivity toward mana.

Only the highest quality treasures would be able to save her should Snake Concubine had used those eyes.

Fortunately, something within Minato had forced her to use a different poison.

-

"Aya! Come out! Quickly!" Minato urgently shouted while holding onto Bei.

His whole hands were red, and blood dripped even from him!

Bei was bleeding so much, and she barely saw Minato's face... She caught just a blurred image, but his worry had reached her.

Bei parted her lips, "You insulted... her beloved... well..."

"Don't talk!" Yuna shouted at Bei.

Her sister didn't care, "That made me... happy, you... twat."

At last, Aya came out.

She looked at Minato, then her eyes shifted to Bei. Shock and fear rippled on her face, and she ran toward them, "This poison sucks her life force! She will soon die! That bleeding is not the problem, Minato!"

Aya saw that Yuna and Bei's treasures didn't work on the poison. Of course, Snake Concubine left a catch to the poison, and two princesses couldn't really overcome it with their items at hand.

"Life force? So it's a life force!" Minato's eyes expanded, and relief bloomed within!

His finger flashed with golden mana, and he wrote 'Kill' on his palm. He didn't use it on Bei but on himself instead.

Kill Magic Circle sucked his life force, then he put it on Bei's cheek, "You will be fine, Bei. Our adventure would be too boring without you!"

He had never done this before, and it was just a theory that had flashed in the spur of the moment.

A quick judgment was needed, and Minato went for it.

He risked his life!

His life force heavily left his body. On his palm, a lively magic circle with a different word appeared. It was golden in color, but a green hue flashed from time to time. It pumped Minato's life force into Bei, and her plight slowly diminished.

She even regained some colors and her wounds naturally closed!

That was too much change for her body, so Bei promptly lost consciousness.

Minato stared at her, then embraced Bei tightly, "Dickhead. Don't say any parting words, as if you were dead already..."

"Minmin..." Yuna looked at both of them with tears flooding her eyes.

She was relieved that Bei's life was not at risk, but Minato had paid an enormous cost for it...

He looked older, and his hair became white. His skin was so rough one would call him a middle-aged man at best rather than a man in his early twenties. Once he coughed, he would do it for more than one minute!

Each time he would vomit some blood, and Yuna's heart couldn't endure it.

"Yuna... Smile, please... This is nothing but some cold... Treat it as cold, and we will overcome it. Okay?" Minato smiled, then apologized, "I also must take a nap."

He dropped onto the ground and closed his eyes.

Yuna took out a tent and prepared a soft bed for them.

She protected the tent while holding onto Aya, patting and hugging her tightly.

From afar, two existences looked at them.
