At the same time—
[ Las Noches, Hueco Mundo]
"When exactly am I supposed to be able to go to the World of the Living?"
From inside the palace of the 9th Espada came Sui Feng's dissatisfied voice.
Ever since the battle in Soul Society, she had planned to pass through Hueco Mundo and then go straight to the World of the Living.
But she never expected that the moment she passed through the Garganta, she would be taken straight to the main base of Las Noches.
Here, she had absolutely no means of escape.
Just Adjuchas-level Arrancar alone numbered in the hundreds within Las Noches.
Even dealing with any single one of them would take her some effort.
Not to mention that every one of the Espada was an existence that could almost surpass captain level.
So all she could do was go find Candice once every few days and try to get her to agree to let her go to the World of the Living.
"You talk to your master like that?", Candice lay lazily on a soft recliner, gently rocking the chair as she enjoyed fruit fed to her by the other Fraccion beside her.
After all these years, she had completely fallen in love with life in Las Noches.
Compared to this new master, Rosse, her old master Yhwach was nothing but a trash talker who only knew how to sell empty promises.
What Quincy becoming the rulers of the world… pfft! Staying in the shadows all day like a rat crossing the street, the streets cold and lifeless, without the slightest bit of human warmth.
If an organization like that really became the ruler of the world, then the world would truly be finished.
Living like she did now, eating well, drinking well, playing and enjoying herself every day, that was how someone in power was supposed to live.
If being in a high position was not for enjoyment, then holding power would be meaningless.
There was no end to the pursuit of strength. There would always be someone stronger than her, and no matter how strong you became, it would still have no meaning.
Just like now, being the 9th Espada was more than enough for her. There was absolutely no need to compete upward.
Those monsters above were all competing themselves into madness.
Three forces in one, four forces advancing side by side, and even that woman Harribel wanted to learn Haki from Lord Rosse's world, and even have Rosse shape a physical body for her.
Just thinking about it made Candice feel scared.
Both Hueco Mundo and Soul Society were worlds made of spirit particles. Having a physical body was not really that useful anyway.
But she was not worried about those issues. After all, Quincies were originally human. Their true bodies all had physical forms that were converted into spirit form, unlike Hollows and Shinigami who needed to reshape a physical body.
Even so, Candice never thought about learning Haki herself. Being able to eat one of those so-called Devil Fruits was already more than enough for her.
At the very least, she did not think anyone else posed any threat to her position among the Espada.
As for those monsters above, if they wanted to compete, let them. Rather than competing in strength with that bunch, she would rather learn a few more little tricks to serve Rosse better.
"Master!"
Sui Feng glared at Candice with resentment, but her mouth was still very obedient.
After being disciplined for so many years, she could not afford to be otherwise.
If she did not act according to Candice's wishes, Candice would never indulge her. She would really strike her without holding back.
After being taught a lesson a few times, Sui Feng had completely behaved herself.
She was not afraid of death. What she feared was dying before getting what she wanted.
She had already paid so much. How could she be willing to die without taking that woman she hated down with her?
"That's a good girl. Today I'm taking you to meet someone. As for when you'll be allowed to go to the World of the Living, that depends on how you perform today," Candice leaned forward. The two enormous mounds swayed slightly, making even Sui Feng feel dizzy from the sight.
At that level of size, all she could do was envy it.
If Candice was an F cup, then at best she was a B, maybe not even that.
"Who are we meeting?", Sui Feng frowned slightly, a bad feeling rising in her heart.
She would never think that Hollows were anything good. Even though she could not see any Hollow traits on Candice, in her understanding, the other party was still a Hollow.
And since it was a Hollow, it was no different from a beast.
And someone who warranted such a warning from Candice could not be many.
"That's not something you need to worry about. If you behave yourself, maybe that lord will satisfy your request."
Candice smiled sweetly, reached out with her fair hand, and pinched Sui Feng's neck, lifting her up.
Sui Feng made no attempt to resist, her arms hanging limply as she let Candice do as she pleased.
She had been humiliated like this before, and the result had been miserable. For a whole month, she could not move at all, like a dead dog.
And that was not the end of it. Candice had locked her, unable to move, inside a dog cage. The cage was carried by a gigantic Hollow, paraded through Las Noches for all to see.
Even though at that time she was only unable to move, having all the passing Hollows see her in such a wretched state was something her pride simply could not endure.
From then on, she never resisted again.
Rather than being dragged out for a public display, it was better to lose face here with Candice.
With no choice, she could only choose the lesser evil.
Candice did not really do much to Sui Feng. She simply tore apart the Arrancar uniform that Candice usually wore in Las Noches and changed her into a rather revealing outfit, with less than three percent of her body actually covered.
At the final step, Candice took out a necklace with a chain.
When she saw this necklace, a clear look of resistance appeared in Sui Feng's eyes.
But in the end, she still did not resist at all, allowing Candice to hang the necklace around her neck.
"Is this enough now?"
Infinite shame surged in Sui Feng's heart, and there was a hint of a give-up attitude in her tone.
Dressing her up like this, just who was she supposed to meet?
'Could the king of Hueco Mundo really have such a nasty sense of taste?'
"That's about enough. Now it's time to take you to meet someone. Don't worry, the person is in my sleeping quarters. You won't need to walk very far."
Candice said with a smile, casually flicking the chain in her hand.
In that instant, Sui Feng felt a suction force coming from her neck, and the spiritual pressure within her body was rapidly absorbed by the chain.
"What is this? Why is it absorbing my spiritual pressure?", Sui Feng asked in a panic.
"Just some measures to increase the fun. Does it really make that much difference to you whether you have spiritual pressure or not?"
Candice said indifferently. Absorbing spiritual pressure was just the basic function of this necklace.
That lord was not afraid of resistance. In fact, the more someone resisted, the more excited that lord might become. But as a subordinate, she naturally had to help share her master's burdens.
Little tricks to absorb spirit particles were basic skills for Quincies, especially when the target did not even dare to resist.
Sui Feng lightly bit her lower lip, and in the end chose to remain silent.
What Candice said was indeed correct.
Whether she had spiritual pressure or not, it could not change the fate of a servant of Hueco Mundo.
Even though there was Hollow power within her body, it had been forcefully injected by the other party. It was never her own wish.
Right now, she was like a toy, being played with at will by the people of Las Noches.
'Bastard! It's all that woman's fault!'
'If not for that woman, how could I have fallen to such a state today!'
