The Heavenly Martial Empress Returns Chapter 288: Teasing Bloodclaw

-----

“Ah! What’s gotten into me? This is not like me at all… Hahah…”

Belze laughed a bit, quickly looking at the materials, caressing the small fragment of her master’s precious soul.

“So you want a Demon Mask, my dear master? Fine, I’ll craft one that even the other Archdemons will envy!”

“Belze? Come here already. Why are you standing over there?”

“Eh? A-Ah, yes! Right away!”

Belze was surprised she was called to the side of her master; as she joined the banter and the conversation, she was also able to talk a lot. As the only demon in the family, she easily made herself useful, helping everyone understand what had happened, who Belphegor was, and what Bing Xue had done to the Dimension of Hell.

After a lot of talk and conversations, the Saurians who might have been wounded in the entire battle were quickly healed, and the entire group, with the help of Bloodclaw and Redeye, was able to count them all and calm their spirits; they had faced many hardships, and they looked clearly exhausted.

“For now, you’re dismissed; you should rest and have a meal. The kitchens shall begin working shortly after this small meeting, everyone,” Redeye informed the rest with Bloodclaw.

“Returning back home is not possible yet as the Time Gate Portal has been destroyed in the commotion,” Bloodclaw sighed. “But we’ll work on trying to repair it, so don’t lose hope.”

In the end, Bing Xue’s plans to travel around the solar system had been interrupted far longer than she imagined, as she decided to “camp for the night” on Mars.

She offered the Saurians delicious food cooked by her many Doppelgangers and the Martial Spirits living inside her Inner Realm, and that, along with her healing and her family’s kindness, quickly earned the hearts of quite a lot of the Saurian population in Mars.

As for the rest? She left it to Bloodclaw, who started making speeches about Bing Xue being their true savior, how the church of the Saurian God had deceived them, and that the Saurian God was a fraud who was never concerned about his people and who died pathetically.

In contrast to this barbaric god, Bing Xue’s kindness, her food, and her healing were much more acceptable, and although some religious Saurians didn’t like Bloodclaw’s speeches and made themselves known with annoying groans and more, Bloodclaw was fairly sure she at least converted over half of this population into the “Heavenly Empress Faith.”

“Honestly, you’re wonderful with words! I was really shocked when you convinced everyone so easily, Bloodclaw.”

After everything that happened, Bing Xue invited Bloodclaw to the palace inside of her Inner Realm, where Bloodclaw was introduced to the many facilities by her dear family, whom she found all very kind and lovely.

“Ah! It is an honor to hear such words of appreciation, my dear goddess. I am here to serve you as much as I can,” Bloodclaw said. “I was more than sure I would remain dead, but you saved my soul and even granted me a second chance! Not even our Saurian God, that barbarian, could ever accomplish such a thing as reviving someone. I am forever grateful! I will dedicate my life to spreading your faith and to fighting those lowly worms that still dare to pray to that aberrant god. If they ever dare oppose you, well, they shall know of the cruelty of the High Saurian Family, fufu.”

“A-Ah, I see… Well, calm down; no need to say such things…” Bing Xue sighed, patting her shoulders while she showed her the terrace of her palace; Bloodclaw could see the entire surrounding forest from here.

Although Bloodclaw acted kindly with her and her family, she was still very much a ruthless and rather villainous woman who had no problems with being cruel to others if that helped her reach her goals; her lack of empathy for the “weaker or lesser ones,” as she called them, was a bit worrying, but Bing Xue was sure to help her gain more empathy with her teachings.

“My apologies, my goddess…” Bloodclaw sighed, looking at Bing Xue intensely. “I was simply a bit too excited… I-It has been ages since I’ve felt this happy before; I am excited for every second by your side!”

“I-Is that so…” Bing Xue muttered, noticing the sweet scent of a female Saurian’s pheromones. Bloodclaw’s big and scaled tail was also touching her legs constantly, ultimately wrapping around her two legs. “Um, Bloodclaw, your tail…”

“A-Ah! I apologize; I don’t know what possessed me…!” Bloodclaw seemed to not be aware of what her tail did, as if it had a mind of its own. “I’m sorry…”

“But why did you do that? And this sweet scent you’re emanating…” Bing Xue wondered, smiling lightly. “Could you explain to me what it means for your species?”

“I-It’s…” Bloodclaw grew more agitated, embarrassed. “It’s related to… our mating rituals… I am truly sorry; I seem unable to control myself this time around! T-The sweet scent must be… my pheromones; they’re used to… u-usually attract a male Saurian so we could… mate. My tail… well, the tail of females usually wraps around the male’s legs, or their tail.”

“So that’s how it is…” Bing Xue smiled lightly, rather teasingly. “Fufu, so adorable… So that means you want to mate with me? With your goddess, which you praise so much? What a bad priestess you are! What would the people you gave a speech to say about that, hm?”

“A-Ahhh! I’m so sorry…!” Although she was being humiliated, Bloodclaw couldn’t help but grow more and more excited. “I’ll accept any punishment, my goddess…!” She ended up prostrating herself in front of Bing Xue.

“Any punishment, hm? You’re adorable.” Bing Xue caressed her cute, small face. “Oh my, it seems I am having a reaction as well. Perhaps we could solve this in a private room, only the two of us?”

“O-Oh my goodness…” Bloodclaw started breathing heavily; she knew exactly what Bing Xue meant with this. “Y-Yes…! Please!”

She quickly stood up, as Bing Xue tightly grabbed her large and plump tail, making her let out a cute whimper.
