Chapter 1196: Chapter 191: Bayonetta Conquered and Su Li’s Escape Operation

At this moment, Lady Bayonetta’s feelings were undeniably closely intertwined with Su Li. This unexpected encounter was like molten lava cast onto a silent frozen lake, igniting desires she never imagined, dragging her into an unprecedented whirlpool of sensation.

She lay in the soft bedding, utterly drained, like snow completely melted by warm sunlight, every inch of her skin exuding a lazy languidness. This unfamiliar feeling made her heart flutter.

For the past thirty years, she lived atop a meticulously maintained ice surface, graceful, restrained, yet cold and distant. Intimacy in marriage for her was but a duty, a ceremony to maintain dignity. She never felt a ripple within, her body akin to a slumbering frozen soil, never expecting spring. She thought that was all—until the storm brought by the curse last night, until the transformative experience brought by this man beside her at this moment.

It turned out, the body could actually feel such vivid life energy.

An indescribable warmth flowed through every part of her, causing her consciousness to become somewhat dazed. The mental reverberations were even more intense.

She tilted her head slightly, looking at Su Li beside her, eyes closed and breathing evenly. It was this young and powerful body that allowed her to experience a brand new world, unreachable by the sum of her previous thirty years of marriage.

A genuinely relaxed, lazy smile spread across her lips, a remaining hint of moisture in her eyes, but no longer confusion, only a calm after being thoroughly filled. She sighed softly, snugging her slightly warm cheek back into his warm neck, breathing in his familiar scent.

So this was what she had never truly known. Not cold duty, not empty rituals, but such a vivid, engrossing experience.

The past thirty years seemed like a wasted life. Yet this one night outweighed all the years in that pale marriage. The warmth and languidness after being completely fulfilled wrapped around her like the softest velvet, lulling her into an unprecedented intoxication.

However, in this dark and desperate world, it was destined that anything beautiful was fleeting. How to survive in this dark world and face various challenges was eternal.

While she was still immersed in the aftertaste, Su Li confirmed her condition was resolved, then kissed her on the top of her head. Despite the allure of the sweat-drenched beauty, he dared not delay his main matters.

After all, capturing this beauty, after one indulgent moment, meant endless troubles to follow. Even departing from Marle Castle was something that required meticulous preparation.

He calmly said, "Next, we need to put on a good show. To bring this all to a perfect close, clean up the current mess in front of us."

Bayonetta sighed contentedly, her cheek rubbing against Su Li’s sweat-dampened neck, like a cat finding the most comfortable spot, greedily absorbing the reassuring scent and warmth from him. The laziness and warmth after being thoroughly satisfied enveloped her, making her want to indulge in this small space, forgetting the cold and schemes of the outside world.

But, Su Li’s calm words were like a small stone thrown into a warm pool, stirring ripples. She opened her hazy eyes slightly, with a hint of reluctance to be disturbed, but more so a kind of "finally" understanding. She certainly knew, with the morning light, dreams should wake, troubles were just beginning. It’s just... this embrace was so warm, this feeling so wonderful, she really couldn’t bear to part.

"Hmm?" She responded with a rich nasal tone, but her body pressed closer to him, as if this could capture a moment more of warmth. Her slender fingers unconsciously traced circles on his solid chest, feeling the powerful heartbeat.

Su Li looked down at her dependent appearance, his gaze deep, with a hint of barely perceptible tenderness, but his tone remained clear and organized: "We need you to ’disappear’ in the Parliament Building."

Bayonetta’s fingertips paused for a moment. She certainly understood the essence of this plan—diverting trouble, having the Parliament and the City Lord’s Mansion bite each other. Her rationality instantly lined up, her mind swiftly calculating the feasibility, details, and risks of the plan. As a bloodline of the Moon Priestess, the Lady of the City Lord, this calmness and scheming had long been ingrained in her bone.

After she disappears, the City Lord’s Mansion will inevitably fall into decline within a period of time, restricted or even abolished by the Parliament, with a large amount of interests and power being eroded by the Parliament.

When the City Lord returns from the far expedition front, he must reorganize the weakened City Lord’s Mansion. At this time, his focus on restoring strength, competing for interests, and consolidating the position of the City Lord’s Mansion will be his top priority! He has no time to care about the life or death of a woman and a vase.

Being married for so many years, Bayonetta truly understood Joachim von Gorg, a person who pursued power and strength to the extreme with fanaticism, devoid of any emotion and desire, would not care whether she disappeared or died.

"I am familiar with the internal structure of the Parliament Building," her voice still hoarse after the event but already with a few traces of a cool tone, "Below there is a private discussion room, convenient for those senators to discuss unspeakable collusions, able to shield various energies and waves, very convenient for concealing and fabricating the illusion of an ’accidental’ disappearance. You arrange a meeting with Senator Zoe for me, saying I want to negotiate with her. Then, during the guards’ patrol gap... you and Hilude create some commotion to pick me up and leave."
