With a 'bang,' the coffin lid was opened, and a pair of slender, powerful, and well-defined hands reached out.
The four men eagerly awaited the emergence of their god from the coffin.
As they expected, a face so handsome it seemed divinely blessed appeared before the four elders.
Chiyuu propped her head up with her hand, still feeling a little dizzy, her face pale from blood loss.
The blood that was fed to them later had long since transformed into an invisible bond, maintaining the contract between the two.
"Who came in?" He was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly interrupted by an unexpected event.
They only vaguely sensed that the other party was a female vampire, and a king-level one at that.
The four elders looked at each other, their faces filled with shame as they lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at their god.
Qian Yuyou raised an eyebrow with amusement. This little cat is quite strong.
She actually managed to evade the four elders, and even dared to suck his blood, and fearlessly fed him her own blood to drink.
Doesn't she know what this means? Ha... I haven't encountered anything this interesting in thousands of years.
I straightened my clothes and tried to sense the subtle, almost imperceptible, thoughts within me.
Yeah, it's a bit far from here.
"My lord, what is this?" the elder asked quickly, as Qian Yuyou was about to leave.
They were incredibly anxious. Would the adults abandon them because they hadn't protected them well?
Chiyu Yu waved his hand: "Find a wild little cat."
The person had already disappeared from the spot. The four elders had miserable faces. The adults were gone. Should they continue to sleep?
Forget it, I'll go find the adults instead. I don't even know if I can catch up.
Xunmi felt like she had only slept for one night, but in reality, a week had passed by the time she woke up.
Fortunately, she managed to digest all the power within her body and repair her previous injuries.
If she were to face the Ninth Prince now, she was confident of a draw.
The Rose Castle was no longer as desolate as before, as Nangong Ci had brought her younger sister, who was in this body, to live in the castle.
You Jiuxiao's butler also moved over to do odd jobs, and he himself came here every few days.
He seemed to be settling down like Nangong Ci, but he hadn't forgotten his responsibilities.
After a week of effort, he obtained a lot of information, which proved that the Rose Queen was not lying.
The old friend I visited last time also came with me to settle down this time.
"Nine, you are such a good friend, allowing me to meet the legendary Rose Queen."
As a fellow prince and a close friend of You Jiuxiao, Kross looked around the castle while excitedly gesturing wildly.
As its name suggests, Rose Castle is filled with blooming roses, vibrant and beautiful.
You Jiuxiao was a little disgusted; this thing had been around for thousands of years and still looked the same.
"Nine, don't think I don't know, you're probably cursing me in your heart again."
Close picked a rose in full bloom, her eyes filled with fascination.
"Hurry up and go inside." You Jiuxiao kicked Kross. He had important things to do and didn't have time to waste.
The Rose Queen should be awake by now; if she isn't, he'd be happy to stay and wait.
Xunmi is unaware that his peaceful days are about to end, and is currently enjoying the delicious food made by the female lead's sister.
Although vampires don't need to eat, she is still a normal human at heart.
I can't resist when I see pretty and delicious pastries.
The taste was somewhat indescribable, but my mood was still very beautiful.
"Your sister is really capable," Xunmi praised while eating.
Nangong Ci smiled happily; this period of time had truly overturned her previous life's aloof and haughty demeanor as the young lady of the Nangong family.
She gets easily agitated when facing You Jiuxiao, but becomes perfectly obedient when facing Xunmi.
"Mi, can my sister and I stay here for the time being?"
"I will help you take care of the flowers in the garden and help you tidy up the house."
"Sisi can cook for you. We won't eat or stay for free. Can you take us in?"
Nangong Ci was very clear-headed; she didn't have the same lofty ambitions as those transmigrated women in novels.
All she wanted was a peaceful life, to protect her younger sister in this body, and to live a good life together.
In this place where death could strike at any moment, she was an ordinary person with absolutely no ability to protect herself.
Even though she was a citizen of the Rose Queen's territory, she still dared not gamble.
She was self-aware; in her previous life, she was groomed to be the heir of the Nangong family, except for some things in the business world.
She's a complete idiot when it comes to daily life. If it weren't for her love of plants and the fact that she grows some herself in her spare time and has a little experience in it...
Don't ask her why she doesn't follow the example of those female protagonists and start her own business to create a new era.
For a woman with no power, influence, or money, taking that first step would require startup capital.
At the very least, one needs a powerful backer to support them. Most importantly, this continent is divided into three systems.
Vampires, Hunter's Guild, Royal Family.
The royal family has an agreement with vampires and hunters that they will not invade each other's territory.
The relationship was complicated. She was a complete newbie, and before she even understood anything, she rushed in headfirst.
I reckon she'll be finished before she can even show her skills.
The original intention of Xunmi was to let the female protagonist stay, so upon hearing her request, he naturally nodded without hesitation.
"That's great, thank you Mi!" Nangong Ci couldn't help but cheer.
"What's so great?" You Jiuxiao had just stepped in when she heard the excited voice of the person who always attracted her attention.
"What's it to you? Humph, why are you here again?"
Nangong Ci felt displeased as soon as he heard You Jiuxiao's voice.
Kross pushed past You Jiuxiao and rushed to Nangong Ci's side, circling around her with a bright look in his eyes.
"Hey, little beauty, who are you? Your blood smells so good."
"Ah." He had barely finished speaking when Klose was sent flying by a punch.
Xunmi and Nangong Ci were both stunned by this scene. What scene was this? They couldn't understand it at all.
"Your Highness, is there anything I can do for you this time?" Xunmi coughed twice, dispelling the awkwardness.
Nangong Ci also stood silently behind Xunmi, looking at the sky and the ground but not at the man who was clinging to the French windows like a spider.
"There's more than one traitor among the vampires; there's another piece of information."
"The original owner of Rose Castle has returned." You Jiuxiao's face was serious, and her gaze towards Xunmi was distant and profound.
"I don't quite understand." Xunmi's expression didn't change at all, and her eyes remained calm and undisturbed.
She had no memory of any original owner of Rose Castle; she had lived there for five hundred years.
According to the vampire records at the time, this place was an empty house.
"To be precise, this place wasn't originally called Rose Castle, and it didn't have a name at all."
"But it has a master who is very mysterious. No one knows whether he is a vampire or an ordinary person."
"Until several hundred years ago, when that person went mad and killed anyone he saw, the mystery was finally solved."
