Ming's warning came so suddenly but Xuefeng didn't hesitate to react. He wrapped his body with Ether Qi to teleport himself away but he failed miserably. No matter how much Qi he used, the Sacred Altar momentarily absorbed it.
"Are you trying to use your Qi?" Dragon Queen asked as she noticed his struggles and grasped his arm to stop him. "Give it up. Once you stepped into the Sacred Altar, you can only use your Bloodline."
Before she finished speaking, the nine pillars buzzed and a crimson barrier surrounded them from all sides.
'Damn, I should have known,' Ming cursed while blaming herself. 'Now we are completely at Dragon Queen's mercy. If she wants to kill you now, she can easily do so.'
'What about Fate Qi?' Xuefeng questioned in an alert. His Fate Abilities were his main source of strength.
'They are completely off-limits which renders us useless as well,' Ming replied quietly. 'You are completely on your own.'
'Don't worry, nothing bad will happen,' Xuefeng assured as he tried to remain calm. 'Dragon Queen doesn't seem like she has ill intentions.'
Xuefeng was rarely wrong with his instincts and he could tell how passionate Dragon Queen was about her Race. Knowing how proud Dragons were, she wouldn't use such underhanded methods to beat him.
Unfortunately, he didn't take into account how much his actions could influence others.
"You can let go of me now," Xuefeng pointed out as Dragon Queen kept holding him but instead of listening, she pulled closer and hugged his arm.
"What if I don't want to let go?" Dragon Queen asked back with a smile. "The moment I activated the Secret Altar, you are stuck with me here. No matter what I do, you can't escape me."
"I want you," Dragon Queen finally revealed as she forcefully pulled him away. "I want you every night, not just tonight. I don't want you to leave me at all."
Xuefeng raised his eyebrows in surprise. "You know that's impossible. I can't stay here forever."
"Why?" Dragon Queen asked back without hesitation while glancing at Thunder Goddess. "What is preventing you from staying with me? Your wives? I don't mind if they stay together with us. The more the merrier."
"It's not about my wives," Xuefeng shook his head. "I have a lot of responsibilities and places I have to visit. I also have many enemies that could wipe your Dragon Realm with ease. If they know you are close to me, they would definitely attack just to hurt me. I can't endanger you like this."
Xuefeng thought that was good enough reason yet Dragon Queen's eyes only shone brighter. She leaned over to kiss him deeply and hugged him tightly. "To think you are so considerate and caring... How can I let go of a man like you?"
Xuefeng felt like smacking his face with a palm but his arms were tied. How did he manage to make the situation worse? Would making himself less desirable work better?
Dragon Queen didn't give Xuefeng more time to think of a better plan. She suddenly crouched and grasped onto his thighs with her face leaning against his crotch.
"You see, when you first entered me earlier, I already knew that I wouldn't be able to live without it," Dragon Queen admitted as she caressed his raising erection. "This is what I want. I don't care how many enemies you have. Together we can grow an army that anyone would fear. Our lives are long enough to slowly build a Race that will conquer any Realm Beyond the Heavens."
Dragon Queen gave his crotch a soft kiss before standing up to face him. She smiled and stated her terms, "We will sign a Blood Pact but the conditions will change. You will stay with me and become my King. I don't mind if you have to leave to settle your ongoing matters, but you will promise to always come back to me. That is non-negotiable."
Xuefeng couldn't help but ask the obvious, "And what if I reject your offer?"
His words only widened Dragon Queen's smile.
"You can't."
