On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

On the walls on both sides of the passage, dark blue crystals were embedded, and the flowing light gave everything a sinister and eerie color.

A cold draft of air surged from the depths, carrying a pungent smell of engine oil, metal, and some unknown energy.

"Your Highness, please."

Governor Harrington stepped aside, a mysterious and smug smile on his face.

"I assure you, what you are about to see will completely overturn your understanding of the world."

Murong Yan stared at the bottomless passage, a cold glint flashing in the depths of her phoenix eyes.

The fish is about to bite.

"Then I shall see for myself."

Her voice was flat, but the last syllable rose slightly, revealing just the right amount of expectation.

As soon as she finished speaking, she stepped into the secret passage leading to the unknown.

Elizabeth followed closely behind, her blue eyes, burning like wildfire, now filled with vigilance.

She could feel that the aura emanating from the depths of the passage was filled with inhuman evil, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Something extremely terrifying is hidden there.

……

The banquet ended, and the moon was high in the sky.

When Lin Zhen returned to the Tulip Manor, he exuded an air of dejection, as if he had "lost everything," and he was still clutching that piece of "broken iron" that no one cared about.

Murong Yan and Elizabeth had been waiting for a long time.

"My husband, you're back."

Murong Yan looked at Lin Zhen's frustrated and unhappy expression, but a playful smile appeared on her lips.

"Did you enjoy the card game tonight?"

"Humph!"

Lin Zhen snorted coldly, roughly ripped off the pure gold mask from his face, and slammed it onto the table with a dull thud.

He strode over to Murong Yan's side, plopped down on the soft velvet sofa, and then, like a child who had suffered a great injustice, buried his head in her soft and fragrant embrace.

"Don't mention it!"

His voice came muffled from her embrace, full of suppressed anger and resentment.

"Those bastards cheated!"

"If it weren't for your plan, I would have flipped their hands and that broken table over right then and there!"

This childish complaint made both Murong Yan and Elizabeth laugh.

"Alright, alright, it's just losing a little money, what's the big deal?"

Murong Yan ran her fingers through his black hair, gently soothing him, her voice full of doting affection.

"As long as you have fun, even if you lose the entire Kunlun Treasury, I won't blink an eye."

"Really?"

Lin Zhen suddenly looked up from her embrace, her eyes sparkling with surprise.

"Of course." Murong Yan smiled, reaching out her jade-like finger to gently flick the tip of his nose. "When have I ever lied to you?"

"Hehe, then I'm relieved."

Lin Zhen chuckled foolishly, contentedly burying his head back down, taking a deep breath of the fragrance he was so enamored with.

"Cough cough..."

Elizabeth couldn't stand it any longer; the couple was constantly testing her mental fortitude as a single pirate.

She coughed loudly twice, abruptly breaking the sweet atmosphere.

"My dear prince, Your Majesty."

Her expression changed instantly, showing a mixture of lingering fear and seriousness.

"Shouldn't we get down to business?"

"What's the matter?"

Lin Zhen lazily raised his head, glanced at her, and his eyes clearly said, "You've interrupted my good time."

"Of course, it's Governor Harrington!"

Elizabeth rolled her eyes inwardly, but her face grew even more serious. She quickly stepped forward and lowered her voice:

"Your Highness, you didn't see it! What Harrington showed us in that underground base..."

"That's a creation of the devil! It's a power that no mortal could possibly possess!"

"I have a feeling that we've messed with something bigger than we imagined!"

She quickly described in detail the "biological weapons" she had seen in the underground base—those grotesque and terrifying killing machines, modified from living people, half-human and half-machine.

"Oh? Biological weapon?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhen showed no surprise, but rather an extreme disdain and mockery.

"How dare you call this crude garbage, which can't even break through the most basic genetic lock, 'the highest achievement'?"

His gaze shifted to Princess Lakshmi, who stood quietly in the corner.

"It seems that our young lady from the Rothschild family was holding back some information."

"Lakshmi."

"The servant is here."

"Tell me, what exactly are these so-called 'biological weapons'?"

“Reporting to Master,” Lakshmi bowed, “those are not results, but rather failed products of the Nihilistic Party’s fusion experiment on the ‘Core of the World’.”

She explained that the Nihilists plunder mortals with special talents and forcibly fuse them with "Originium," which contains a faint trace of the world's nuclear energy.

The successful ones rise to the top in one step and become official members of the Nihilistic Party.

The losers become mindless monsters who only know how to kill.

The East India Company was the biggest supplier of "experimental materials" for the Nihilistic Party.

"I see."

After listening, Lin Zhen's confusion dissipated, and a bold and wicked plan had taken shape.

He turned his head and looked at the pirate queen, who was still in shock, a sly smile playing on his lips.

"Elizabeth."

"It's your turn to step in."

“Me?” Elizabeth was stunned.

"Yes."

Lin Zhen nodded, a fox-like glint in his deep eyes.

“Starting tomorrow, your mission is to ‘get close’ to our self-important Governor Harrington.”

"You need to make him believe that you are captivated by his 'strength' and 'charisma'."

“You have to make him believe that you are tired of being a lowly maidservant to me, this ‘incompetent gigolo’.”

"You need to make him believe that you crave power and aspire to be a maritime overlord like him!"

"You need to... make him fall in love with you."

These words instantly ignited Elizabeth's wild blue eyes!

Hunting game!

Her favorite game!

And she will be the only hunter!

“But, Your Highness,” Elizabeth licked her crimson lips, feigning difficulty as she frowned, her eyes flashing with alluring charm, “Harrington may be arrogant, but he’s not stupid. Why would he believe I would betray you, a man who seems stronger and more mysterious than him?”

"It's very simple."

A devilish smile appeared on Lin Zhen's face.

"Because you will tell him that you were poisoned by me and Yan'er."

“A unique and most vicious medicine from our sacred Kunlun Mountains.”

He uttered four words, one by one.

"Three, Corpse, Brain, Spirit, Elixir."

"This poison takes effect every seven days. At that time, countless insects will devour the heart, leaving one unable to live or die."

"Only the unique antidote we possess can temporarily suppress it."

"The reason you are willing to follow us like a slave is to obtain the ultimate antidote that can completely eradicate the poison."

Lin Zhen watched Elizabeth's comical expression shift from alluring to astonished to dumbfounded, and his smile grew increasingly smug.

"you say,"

"Our Governor Harrington, who thinks he knows everything, after hearing your tragic yet believable story..."

What will he do?
