Bang! The coffin lid was pushed off by a pair of strong pale hands.
The four elders stood emotionally anticipated for their honored Ancestor to step out from the coffin.
An ethereally handsome appeared in front of them. Qian YuYou supported his head on his hand. He was still a little dizzy, his face extremely pale due to blood loss. The blood that was fed to him afterwards had already become an invisible bond preserving the promise between the two of them.
âWho came in here?â He had been sleeping peacefully when he was unexpectedly interrupted. He only vaguely sensed that the person was a female vampire of King level.
The four elders looked at each other before ashamedly lowering their heads, not daring to look Ancestor in the eye.
Qian YuYou raised his eyebrows. How interesting, this little kittenâs strengths are not bad.
She was able to evade the four elders and was daring enough to take his blood, and even more daringly fed her blood to him. Didnât she know what that process symbolized? Ah...he hasnât met anything so interesting in several thousand years.
Tidying up his clothes, he carefully followed that unique sensation with his mind. En, she was a bit far from here.
âAncestor, you...â The First Elder quickly inquired to the already-preparing-to-leave Qian YuYou. He was nervous. Ancestor wonât abandon them just because they had not been able to successfully guard him, right?
Qian YuYou waved his hand, âIâm going to find a cruel little kitten.â He disappeared, leaving the four elders in elder confusion. Ancestor has already left, so should they just continue sleeping?
Forget it, they should just go look for Ancestor, if they can even catch up to him.
XunMi felt like she only slept for one night, yet when she woke up, it was a week later.
Luckily, she had finally digested all the excess power that had been bursting in her body and recuperated from her previous injuries. If she were to fight Prince Jiu now, she was confident she would at least be able to end the battle with a draw.
The Wild Rose castle also wasnât as cold and lonely as before. Nangong Ci had brought her original bodyâs younger sister to settle down within the castle as well.
You JiuXiaoâs butler had transferred over to help out with random chores. You JiuXiao himself was also visiting practically every day. He had basically set up shop at the castle like Nangong Ci. But he at least didnât forget his duties.
After a week of efforts, he obtained information as well as proof that the Wild Rose Queen had been telling the truth. The old friend of his he had gone to find last time had also followed him back to the castle.
âJiu, you are a true friend for giving me this opportunity to see the legendary Wild Rose Queen.â Klos, a King level vampire friend of You JiuXiaoâs, surveyed the castle while excitedly gesticulating.
The Wild Rose Castle lived up to its namesake: bright splendid wild roses bloomed everywhere.
You JiuXiao ignored his friendâs odd behavior. A few thouosand years had passed and yet this dude was still the same.
âJiu, donât think I donât know. You are definitely scolding me in your heart right now.â Klos plucked a wild rose, his eyes filled with infatuation.
âHurry up and go in.â You JiuXiao kicked Klos. He still had important things to do, he didnât have time to waste. The Wild Rose Queen should have woken up by now. If she didnât, he was willing to stay here and wait.
XunMi didnât know yet that her peaceful days were about to disappear. Currently, she was enjoying the Female Leadâs little sisterâs delicious food. Although vampires didnât need to eat anything, XunMi was still a normal person on the inside. When she saw beautiful, mouthwatering pastries, she wonât be able to resist. The taste was ineffable and her mood raised in the process.
âCi, your sister sure is talented.â XunMi praised while eating.
Nangong Ci smiled happily. In this short time, sheâs really stepped away from her previous identity as the aloof Nangong familyâs Young Miss. Now, she would frequently erupt at You JiuXiao while being completely lovable towards XunMi.
âMi, can my sister and I stay here for the time being? Iâll help you take care of the flowers in the garden, help you clean the rooms. SiSi (nickname for little sister Atanas) can make food. We wonât live here for free. So can you take us in?â Nangong Ci was smart, she didnât have the large ambitions of those transmigrating girls in online novels. She only wanted a peaceful life, and to protect the original bodyâs little sister.
In this place, where you could lose your life at any time, she was an ordinary human with no ability to defend themselves. Even though she was someone living in the territory under the protection of the Wild Rose Queen, she wasnât willing to bet where her safety was concerned. She was aware of her strengths. In her previous life, as the Nangong familyâs heiress, besides knowledge about the business world, she was a complete idiot in all other aspects of life. At least she had a bit of experience raising flowers due to her old interest in plants.
She had no interest in copying those online novel female leads that create a new age through the entrepreneurship. First of all, she was a woman with no power and no money. To rise up, she should at least have some capital. If not, then she should have some patron to support her. Most importantly, this continent was divided into three main powers.
Vampires, Huntersâ guild, and the Royals.
The Royal family, vampires, and hunters had a nonaggression pact. Their relations were complicated. So as a new little plankton of a character, if she just randomly charged in, she would probably be killed before steadying her foundations.
XunMiâs own intentions were to have the Female Lead stay. Hearing her request now, she would naturally agreed without hesitation.
âThatâs great, thank you Mi!â Nangong Ci couldnât hold back her cheers of excitement.
âWhatâs great?â The just entering You JiuXiao immediately heard the excited voice of the person that was always attracting his attention.
âWhat does it have to do with you? Humph, why are you here again?â As soon as Nangong Ci heard You JiuXiaoâs voice, she felt her mood turn dark.
Klos pushed You JiuXiao away and jumped in front of Nangong Ci. His eyes brightened as he circled around her.
âWow wow. Who is this little beauty? Your blood smells pretty sweet. Ah?â He had just finished saying one sentence when he was kicked flying away.
XunMi and Nangong Ci all froze at this scene. What kind of performance was this, why donât they understand what was going on?
âPrince Jiu, did you have any business to attend to here?â XunMi coughed to help disperse the awkward atmosphere.
Nangong Ci silently shifted to stand behind XunMi. Her gaze shifted everywhere except the man spread like a spider on the French window.
âThereâs not just one traitor within the vampire clan. Also, thereâs other news. The original master of the Wild Rose Castle is back.â You JiuXiao spoke solemnly to XunMi while he gazed deeply into the distance.
âI donât understand,â XunMiâs expression didnât change a bit, as her eyes remained tranquil. There was nothing on the original master of the Wild Rose Castle in her memories. Mi had been living here since 500 years ago.
At that time, the vampire records had listed this as an empty house.
âTo be precise, this wasnât known as the Wild Rose Castle in the beginning. It didnât have an original name, but did have an original master. He was mysterious. No one knows if he was a vampire or an ordinary human. It was only a few hundred years ago, due to some unknown provocation that caused him to insanely kill others on site, that the truth was revealed.â
