Chapter 71
Nangong Ci closed her eyes to avoid being irritated by the sudden brightness. After a minute, she finally reopened them.
En, as expected of the female lead. She’s very pretty. XunMi silently analyzed in her head. Her dark pupils made people think of her instantly as a cold beauty. A refined oval face, her forehead was slightly wrinkled in confusion. She appeared both weak and tenacious. XunMi”s first impression of her wasn’t bad. But should she admit that she had also transmigrated into the book like?
Nangong Ci’s heart was beating fast. She had never seen this kind of place before. She was originally Nangong family’s Young Miss. Such a dignified castle made her guess that the owner of the castle’s position couldn’t be lower than hers.
It’s because of this prediction that made her confused. She didn’t understand why the owner would need to kidnap her then.
“You can call me Mi. I apologize, my butler has caused you difficulties. It’s getting dark outside. You can rest here first, tomorrow I’ll have RuiEn send you back.” Since she needed to protect the female lead, then she should try to create a good impression on her too.
When XunMi wants to get close with someone, even if the other person stubbornly refused, they would still be moved by her personal charms.
Nangong Ci was even more confused. She finally realized something wasn’t right. This woman was beautiful beyond belief. That head of silver hair was especially fascinating yet familiar.
Like the silver moon’s peaceful coldness, her hair was stunningly exceptional. As someone of the same sex, she felt that she had fallen for her a bit. The clothes she wore was also particular. It was similar to the ancient style of sleeveless long gowns. But on this woman, it seemed to match perfectly to her aura.
“Master, you haven’t eaten yet.” RuiEn didn’t understand. He knew Master had a soft heart, so he always tried to snatch bad people fleeing from the law. This time this woman was an accident. However, he had heard that this woman was very malicious anyways.
XunMi lightly nodded her head, “This woman has clear eyes, she’s not a bad person.” Of course, she didn’t know what the original body was like.
Nangong Ci had just then realized that there was a Western looking man by her side. In the night, his pale complexion made him look like a thousands year old ghost.
“This young miss, where is your family located? If you are unwilling to rest here, I can have RuiEn send you back immediately.” XunMi saw that her target was completely still unaware of the situation. Ah, she wanted to know what her original personality prior to transmigrating was like.
“My house is in Country Z City M, near JinHua Garden.” Nangong Ci responded on conditioned reflex. But the beautiful woman in front her only frowned.
Her heart also lifted, was something wrong? “Where is Country Z City M, JinHua Garden? RuiEn, is there such a place in Mainland Moore?” XunMi pretended to be puzzled on the surface while howling with laughter on the inside. This female lead was really too cute.
RuiEn shook his head, “Master, I found her in a small town on our territory.”
Nangong Ci realized that she might not be in her original world. Mainland Moore was a place in the Chinese-Western fusion vampire story that she had read. The beautiful silver haired woman must be the Lord of Wild Rose Manor that she had liked so much.
Oh my God, she had fallen asleep and slipped into a book! That’s why she felt things looked a bit familiar. She frowned, but why did she appear here?
She revisited the book in her head. In the entire book, there was only one woman that had been sent to Wild Rose Manor as prey. She had been ostracized by the rest of her village and was known for her soft personality, causing her to be framed and ridiculed by others. But to protect her little sister and make sure she wasn’t harmed, she repeatedly endured and shrank back.
At that time, she was coincidentally snatched by RuiEn, who had seen signs that his Master was about to wake and was out foraging for food. In the story, the lord was weak due to just breaking through in rank so she really did drink the prey dry.
Nangong Ci still remembered that the book had said that when Mi finally came to her senses and realized she had hurt an innocent person, she was crippled with guilt. As compensation, she decided to take care of the little sister left behind. Ultimately, Mi died in the midst of the big war.
At the end of the book, Nangong Ci discovered that the Wild Rose Queen hadn’t died. Instead, she had been imprisoned by that sanctimonious group of vampire hunters. Everyday, she was humiliated and tortured as a punching bag in a fate worse than death. This was the finale, but the author had said they were going to write an epilogue but never did.
Readers came on the site every day begging for an update, calling out the unjust treatment of the woman that was as still as autumn waters, bright as the moonlight.
Nangong Ci had also felt that it was a pity for such a elegant, beautiful character to end up like that but she also understood.
Such a beautiful creature that was also as cold as ice would make many men’s hearts pound.
Now, she had the chance to meet the book character that she had called a goddess. Her heart was filled with thousands of words yet she didn’t know what to say.
XunMi was also feeling complicated. While the female lead had been revisiting the book in her head, she had also received more information. She was feeling very stifled, how come every world the original soul would meet such a tragic outcome.
Although the female lead’s thoughts were a mess, and some information only appeared in little flashes, XunMi had found the crucial elements of the mission.
The mission to stop the extermination of vampires must mean to stop the hunters guild from winning in the big war.
“Can I stay here temporarily?” Nangong Ci thought for a second, before making a decision.
“Of course, if there’s any anything you need, you can look for RuiEn.” XunMi wasn’t suspicious about the motive behind the female lead’s decision to stay. She could feel that Nangong Ci’s heartbeat was very steady.
Nangong Ci’s thoughts were actually very simple. She wanted to prevent Mi from participating in the big war, and thus avert such a tragic ending.
But currently, they weren’t very close yet. She couldn’t just tell her the truth, she needed to slowly gain her trust.
“I am Nangong Ci, thank you for letting me stay!” The name of the body she had transmigrated into should be Lolita Mo, with a little sister named Atanas. However, she was used to using her own name and didn’t want to change something that was representative of her own identity.
XunMi let out a small smile, “No problem.” En, this female lead really was pretty good.
Nangong Ci didn’t know what “a smile could bring down a city” was, she only knew that Mi’s small smile almost brought her down.
If she didn’t have firm willpower, she would have fainted.
Even someone straight from the same sex, Mi would make many be very willing bend.
“It’s getting late, go rest.” XunMi reached out to help Nangong Ci up. With on finger she tapped her forehead, allowing a comfortable warm golden light to enter Nangong Ci’s body.
XunMi pulled back her hand and was preparing to bring her upstairs when she felt a powerful air growing nearer.
She knit her brows together. Who could it be at this hour?
