Beauty Portraits: I Build a Harem in Another World

Page 35

The contract signing process went smoothly. Accompanied by the somewhat lengthy incantation of the summoning contract, the blood dripping from Qin Feng and Sherry quickly merged together in the air. Then, with the flash of a magical aura, it was quickly injected into Sherry's forehead. Then, her entire body instantly turned into a phantom and merged into Qin Feng's body, officially becoming Qin Feng's summoned creature.

However, the next second, Sherry's naked body reappeared in the carriage, because Qin Feng had summoned her again.

However, this time Shirley looked at Qin Feng differently, and she quickly lowered her head obediently and called out, "Master!"

"Lie down, and bring your butt up..."

"Yes, Lord... Ah!!"

"Drive! Drive!"

"Ah...ah...ah..."

Qin Feng said he had a great time riding this time, feeling extremely happy, especially after he finished shooting again in Shirley's garden and then watching her immediately turn around and clean his "big sword" with her small mouth. The sense of accomplishment and conquest was unparalleled.

Qin Feng immediately ordered the carriage to turn around and head towards the special garrison in the capital.

It would be difficult for anyone else to see a serious criminal like Nataya. The incredibly complicated application process alone would be enough to make ordinary people give up. But Qin Feng, as the Third Prince of the Empire, still has this privilege!

Although he encountered a clueless fellow on the way down to the dungeon who dared to nag Qin Feng about how even a prince had to follow the rules, the impatient Qin Feng simply kicked him, and the guy immediately embedded himself in the wall to become a relief sculpture!

Immediately, no one dared to stop Qin Feng in the slightest. He was quickly taken to the bottom of the dungeon, where he met the imprisoned serious criminal Nataya...

At this moment, Nataya was no longer the spirited woman she had been when she first met Qin Feng. She was covered in dirt and filth, her clothes were tattered and stained with blood, because she was hanging in the air in a spread-eagle position by chains, her body covered with whip marks...

Where is even a trace of the glory she once had as a tenth-level expert?

But what can we do?

From the moment she accepted the assassination order, this was her destiny. Coupled with being completely abandoned by the Noah Empire, it would be strange if these guys in the capital's garrison didn't treat her well. Otherwise, why would I say that the prisoners in this dungeon might die at any moment, because most people really can't withstand this kind of torture!

Fortunately, Nataya is a tenth-level expert, and her body is much stronger than that of ordinary people due to her cultivation. In addition, with the protection of her internal battle qi, she can barely maintain her consciousness. She can even manage a weak smile when she sees Qin Feng. "I didn't expect that His Highness the Third Prince would come to see me in person... It's an honor... May I have a drink of water first..."

Nataya's lips were chapped and she looked severely dehydrated, so Qin Feng tilted his head, and the guards accompanying him immediately brought her water.

"Put her down, unlock her handcuffs, and let her drink water herself."

"Your Highness, you mustn't! She's an extremely dangerous prisoner!"

Is she in danger as much as I am?

"..."

Well, it was only then that the guards remembered that Nataya had been personally defeated and captured by this 'infamous' Third Prince, and their expressions were quite awkward.

Although releasing the prisoner was against the rules, they didn't dare disobey the Third Prince's orders, thinking of their colleague who had worked as a relief sculpture, and quickly went up to release Nataya.

"Take off your clothes first!" Qin Feng continued to direct them. "And you guys, go and get Nataya's personal belongings!"

"Your Highness... what's going on?" The guards had initially thought Qin Feng was just meeting the prisoner who had tried to assassinate them and humiliating her, but now that they realized something was amiss, they were momentarily stunned. "You're not planning to release her, are you?"

"I'm taking her away right now!" Qin Feng glanced at them indifferently. "Because I've suddenly become sexually interested in her... What? You want to stop me?" (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the initial statement.)

"No...don't dare!"

Despite saying they dared not, two of them quickly ran outside, presumably to inform their superiors. Qin Feng wasn't afraid of them; he simply took the clothes they brought and handed them to Nataya. He watched her put on the clothes and waited for her to drink some water before leisurely leading Nataya out of the dungeon.

Sure enough, the commander of the garrison outside rushed over and looked at Qin Feng with a troubled expression. "Your Highness, you are putting me in a very difficult position. This prisoner really cannot be taken away. Otherwise, if His Majesty investigates, I really cannot bear the consequences!"

"You don't need to worry about that. I just came from the palace." Qin Feng remained calm and composed. "Besides, Father Emperor has already agreed to let me handle this prisoner as I see fit. Just report this matter truthfully!"

Is what Your Highness says true?

"Why would I need to lie to you?" Qin Feng narrowed his eyes and sneered. "Or rather, do you still think I'm the way you believe me?"

"Your Highness, please forgive me! I dare not!"

"You'd better not dare!" Qin Feng ignored him and led Nataya away. Once they were in the carriage, he pointed to the seat opposite them, "You sit down first..."

“Your Highness…” Nataya had been obedient the whole way, without making any small movements or offering any resistance. She dressed when Qin Feng told her to and drank water when he told her to. But at this moment, she finally raised her head and asked, “Can I know who saved me?”

"Your daughter."

"Shirley!!" Natasha was completely stunned. After a long while, she finally managed to ask, trembling all over, "What price did she pay to persuade His Highness to come and save me personally!"

"From now on, she is my summoned creature and..."

"..."

Chapter 93: Hu Bingqing and Hu Bingxin

Now that the truth had been revealed, Qin Feng casually summoned Sherry so that the mother and daughter could reunite.

Unsurprisingly, Shirley broke down in tears upon seeing her mother in such a state, while Nataya, who had never shed a tear even after being tortured in the dungeon until her body was covered in wounds, couldn't help but tear up upon seeing her daughter.

Then the two hugged each other and cried all the way!

And that is the cruelty of fate. A careless decision can easily lead to a permanent farewell to family, never to be seen again.

Just like Nataya, if Sherry hadn't found Qin Feng in a moment of inspiration, and if Sherry hadn't offered her body to Qin Feng without hesitation, then Qin Feng definitely wouldn't have cared about Nataya's life or death.

In just a few short days, Nataya has been tortured to this state in the dungeon. If no one takes care of her, Nataya's final fate may be to slowly die in that place full of despair, and her remains may not even be thrown into some dark corner, never to see her husband and daughter again!

So although the mother and daughter embraced and wept bitterly, it was more accurate to say they were overjoyed and happy than simply grieving. No matter how much suffering they had endured or what price they had paid, at least they were still alive, and at least they could still meet in the future and ask each other how they were doing...

Therefore, when things finally calmed down, Nataya did not blame her daughter for her rashness and unauthorized decision. Although she would rather die in the dungeon than have her daughter make such a great sacrifice, the matter was already settled and there was no point in saying anything.

So after sorting out her thoughts, she began to ask her daughter what had happened. When she learned the whole story, especially when she learned that her husband had risked his life to return to the capital with their daughter to save her, Nataya was moved to tears once again!

However, at the same time, Nataya also learned of the Noah Empire's 'betrayal', because the Noah Empire has not only completely given up hope of rescuing Nataya, but is also kicking her while she's down!

That's really painful. When you are 'abandoned' by the country you trust most, and even when all your beliefs collapse in an instant, it is definitely one of the most tragic things in the world!

Nataya quickly pulled her daughter to kneel before Qin Feng. "Nataya is very grateful for Your Highness's magnanimity, but I would like to ask Your Highness for one more thing!"

"You said."

“Although my husband Edmund and I are both from the Noah Empire, we have lived in the Great Qin Empire for four years and have become very familiar with and fond of this place. Moreover, our daughter is now… inseparable from Your Highness. Since the Noah Empire has been so cruel to our family, we do not want to go back. Therefore, I beg Your Highness to allow my husband Edmund to stay in the capital of the Great Qin Empire. I am willing to sign a summoning contract with Your Highness and to serve Your Highness like a slave to make up for my past mistakes. I only hope that you can promise not to separate our family and that when you have time, you can let Sherry and me go home to reunite with her father!”

To be treated like a beast of burden?

This is necessary, okay...

The reason is simple: Nataya is a paladin with the strength of a tenth-tier warrior, and is considered one of the few top-tier powerhouses among humans!

After all, throughout the history of the continent, the number of humans who have truly crossed that threshold and entered the eleventh rank can be counted on one hand. Especially now, after the fall of the Kelvin family, there is not a single eleventh rank member that can be found in the two continents combined!

In this context, tenth-tier strength is practically the pinnacle that humanity can reach. Crucially, the number of people who can reach tenth-tier is extremely limited, appearing only once in tens of thousands of individuals. Therefore, all tenth-tier experts are invaluable assets; at least for any nation, a tenth-tier expert can be considered a strategic reserve. (The remaining text appears to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated gibberish.)

Unfortunately, the Noah Empire abandoned Nataya so easily...

Perhaps they thought that assassinating a prince was too serious, so the Qin Empire would not be able to spare Nataya's life?

Since Nataya is now willing to sign the summoning contract, Qin Feng is naturally happy to accept her. Although she came to assassinate him before, she was acting on behalf of her own master and obeying orders. In addition, she was completely defeated by Qin Feng. As a man, Qin Feng naturally won't hold it against her too much!

And so the matter was settled. After Qin Feng completed the summoning contract with Nataya, he did not immediately take the mother and daughter away. Instead, he agreed to take her and Sherry to find her husband Edmund and let the family of three reunite for a while.

After all they've been through, and having escaped death so easily, the family of three must have a lot to say.

Therefore, Qin Feng personally took them to complete some procedures, such as giving them new identities and returning their previous properties to them. He also sent someone to notify her husband, Edmund, to come back.

Unsurprisingly, Edmund was completely stunned when he heard that Nataya and her daughter Sherry were now working for the Third Prince Qin Feng!

But at least his wife is still alive...

After finishing all that, Qin Feng finally brought Nataya and her daughter back to the Royal Military Academy. He thought he could finally get some rest today and digest the 'new knowledge' he had learned from the old emperor. However, when he returned to the dormitory, he found Bai Zhiwei talking to two pretty girls.

……

Hu Bingqing (SSR): One of the twin granddaughters of the Minister of Works of the Qin Dynasty.

Attributes: Attack +30000, Defense +30000, Health +300000, Mana +30000.

Contract Bonus (Uncontracted): Attack Power +4%, Defense Power +4%, Penetration +4%, Attack Speed ​​+4%.

……

Hu Bingxin (SSR): One of the twin granddaughters of the Minister of Works of the Qin Dynasty.

Attributes: Attack +30000, Defense +30000, Health +300000, Mana +30000.

Contract Bonus (Uncontracted): Attack Power +4%, Defense Power +4%, Penetration +4%, Attack Speed ​​+4%.

……

Wow, two more SSR beauty portraits have appeared all of a sudden!

Moreover, these are two girls of the same age as Bai Zhiwei. What's even more rare is that they are twins, the kind of twin sisters who are so identical that it's hard to tell them apart. It's said that they were born only a few minutes apart!

The eldest is named Hu Bingqing, and the second is Hu Bingxin. They are both beautiful young women, and they were born into extraordinary families, as they are the beloved granddaughters of Hu Juncheng, the Minister of Works of the Qin Empire.

When Qin Feng returned, the twin sisters were chatting with Bai Zhiwei. They were both clearly curious about everything there, so they were quite active and playing very freely.

When Qin Feng suddenly appeared, the two women were so flustered that they made quite a few jokes. Fortunately, Bai Zhiwei was there to speak up for them, and then Qin Feng learned the purpose of their visit.

It's actually quite simple, because no woman can resist the temptation to become more beautiful...

And of course, you'll get stronger along the way!

Simply put, Hu Bingqing and Hu Bingxin were originally Bai Zhiwei's good sisters, or even best friends, because their families were old friends and they were the same age. Therefore, the three of them were always known as the Military Industry Three Sisters at the Royal Military Academy!

This is the military's processing department, practically half of the Qin Dynasty's territory!

As best friends, the Hu sisters initially couldn't understand why Bai Zhiwei would submit to the rumored useless Third Prince. Even though they later learned that Bai Zhiwei and Qin Feng had been engaged long ago, and that it was arranged by His Majesty the Emperor, they still felt it was a pity!

In their view, a girl as outstanding as Bai Zhiwei could easily find the most outstanding young man in the empire. How could she suddenly be held back by that rumored Third Prince who knew nothing?

What? The Third Prince isn't what the rumors say?

What does he look like?

Chapter 94: What a pair of exquisite twin sisters!

Well, Bai Zhiwei doesn't actually need to explain this at all.

In just a few days, Bai Zhiwei had completely changed, to the point that even the Hu sisters, who had grown up with her and shared almost everything with her, could hardly recognize her...

Although everyone says that women are often changed by their men, and what she is like depends entirely on what her man is like, which is the so-called "marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog".

But isn't Bai Zhiwei's change a bit too exaggerated?

Her already beautiful features suddenly became even more exquisite, instantly elevating her from a school beauty to a fairy. Not only that, her figure is now so incredible that it leaves people speechless, especially her two long legs, which Hu Bingqing and the others can't help but envy!

And her skin is even better than a newborn baby's skin, making people want to reach out and pinch it, and making them drool!

Not to mention, Bai Zhiwei's entire demeanor is completely different now. She not only gives people an ethereal feeling, like a goddess who is untouched by worldly affairs, but also unknowingly possesses... the majesty of a god!

This is actually quite normal, because Athena is the goddess of victory, a being who truly possesses divine status, not the kind of goddess who is simply addressed with a title.

But what truly shocked Hu Bingqing and her sisters was Bai Zhiwei's performance on the competition field...

Although the Hu sisters came from a family of civil officials, neither of them liked studying literature. They preferred martial arts, so both twin sisters were swordsmen, and their skills were outstanding in their class. Especially when the two sisters teamed up, their telepathic understanding and perfect teamwork made them almost unbeatable among their peers!

Because they grew up together and were very familiar with each other, Hu Bingqing and her sister knew Bai Zhiwei's strength very well. Moreover, they often sparred with each other in the past, so they were naturally clear about each other's strength!

But in just a few days, they discovered that there was a huge gap between them and Bai Zhiwei. They had unknowingly fallen to a different level. Especially Bai Zhiwei's performance in the competition, she defeated the senior students in one move. After Bai Zhiwei unleashed the substantial sword energy that only an eighth-level expert could have, the two sisters almost forgot to breathe!

So naturally, they kept asking Bai Zhiwei why she had become like this.

Then they learned that the Third Prince was not only not a good-for-nothing, but actually very outstanding, and that all the rumors outside were just a cover-up and protection, because the Third Prince was a necromancer...

Wait, a necromancer?

When Hu Bingqing and her sister first heard it, they couldn't help but shudder. But that's understandable, because what comes to mind first when everyone sees those four words? "Where's Mei? You're not here, Lin Linkong? You're here, Lin Zaizai..."

Bones, rotting corpses, darkness, filth, grime, baseness, slovenliness, evil...

There isn't a single good word, is there?

Although necromancers are actually a very respectable profession on the mainland, with a large number of practitioners and many schools having long established necromancer as a separate branch and department, the power of the name "necromancer" and the fact that necromancers have always been solitary and rarely show themselves in public are still significant factors.

In addition, there are bound to be some scoundrels in the necromancer community who do things that anger both heaven and man, and the Church of Light has always slandered and suppressed necromancers, so it is naturally difficult to change people's prejudice against them in a short time!

Fortunately, Bai Zhiwei quickly explained to Hu Bingqing and the others that the Third Prince had nothing to do with those words. As a prince, he enjoyed the best living environment in the world, so how could he possibly make himself so unreasonable?

But that's not the point. The point is that the Third Prince's most proficient necromancy is actually summoning, and he can summon powerful goddess souls from another dimension and then make them sign contracts with those souls...

Just like the goddess soul within Bai Zhiwei is named Athena.

Although Bai Zhiwei didn't actually know who Athena was, Qin Feng had explained it to her briefly, so she proudly told her two best friends that Athena was the goddess of war and the goddess of victory, with unparalleled strength!

Especially when Bai Zhiwei entered her divine soul form, transforming into the goddess Athena and donning golden armor symbolizing invincibility, Hu Bingjing and the others were completely stunned!

It is precisely because of her contract with the goddess Athena that Bai Zhiwei has not only changed her appearance, but her strength has also increased like a rocket. Now she is already an eighth-level expert, and her swordsmanship has also improved rapidly under Athena's guidance. The difference between her and the Hu Bingqing sisters, who have not yet entered the sixth level, is like heaven and earth!
