Chapter 87
“Can Prince Burton enlighten me. You two…” She pointed at the two of them, and then at herself. “What do you two want from me? Exactly what expensive treasure could be worth all this stubborn scheming and planning?”
She really was curious. What thing was so alluring that they had to have it?
Burton knew that they couldn’t hide it anymore. “Hahahaha, Wild Rose Queen. Wild Rose Queen, you really are smart. But you must know that the smarter the person, the shorter amount of time I’m willing to let them live.” When Burton got arrogant, he even forgot about Qian YuYou standing by her side. He was immersed in the joy of impending success.
XunMi raised her eyebrows, “I don’t understand.”
“Not understanding is your problem. You just need to tell me the secret behind your quick advancement in rank. Maybe I’ll take mercy on you if you put me in a good mood.” Burton was confident . Today, the Wild Roses Queen was trapped. She had no way out.
“Oh, is that what you want?” She pretended to be surprised. “Unfortunately, I really don’t have a method.” Her careless attitude make Burton choke.
“Don’t sound so confident. I recommend you obediently tell me. Being sharp-tongued now will only come back to bite you later. As long as you tell me, I will have Ye ZhiYi take mercy on you.” Burton was angry but he still pretended to kindhearted. XunMi laughed at his attempt.
XunMi was disgusted to the point that she felt as if she might puke looking at him any longer. He obviously had a handsome face but all his charm was destroyed by his own personality.
“Do you not understand human language? I don’t have anything. I don’t mind confronting them in person.” A thought flashed through XunMi’s head. Burton would have only invited her here today if someone had told him something. Perhaps Burton had his eyes on her from the start but no matter what, Wild Rose Castle had a traitor.
Her eyes narrowed. The one thing XunMi hated the most was traitors. There was a unbearable memory in her heart regarding betrayal that she couldn’t erase.
“Of course…Wait, why would I tell you. Don’t think to try to gain information from me.” Burton quickly reacted and angrily accused XunMi.
XunMi didn’t mind. She adjusted her flute, “Let’s fight. Since you don’t believe me, then I’ll just have to smack you until you believe.”
When she was done putting Burton in his place, the traitor was bound to emerge. AS for that Ye ZhiYi…
A melodious flute sound slowly sounded with a light cheerful cadence. Just as listeners’ minds and bodies were relaxing, a sharp resounding tone stabbed them. No one knew that besides having magic, the Wild Rose Queen also had powers of tuning.
She had combined her two abilities together and formed a unique attack method.
Qian YuYou covered XunMi’s body with a protective shield and leaned a tree to watch the scene.
Ye ZhiYi didn’t attack. Not because she didn’t want to but she couldn’t move. Before she could understand what was going on, The longing in her heart took hold of her entire brain.
She wanted to drink blood, that warm thick red blood. So hungry, so hungry. She really wanted to drink.
Her eyes turned entirely red, a terrifying sight to the others.
Yet, she couldn’t move at all. She was only able to stand firmly in place, as if she was nailed to the floor.
While Ye ZhiYi was busy immersed in her thoughts, Burton had been reduced to shivering in place by XunMi.
For the moment, XunMi couldn’t do much with Burton, while he had no way of harming her. They were now in a deadlock. Just as things were about to take a turn for the worse for Burton, a man in black suddenly appeared and attacked XunMi from behind.
Qian YuYou immediately flashed to XunMi’s side as a long gleaming sword appeared in his hands. He slashed it down at the mysterious figure, successfully the invisible force aimed XunMi. As Qian YuYou acted, Ye ZhiYi’s imprisonment weakened. She was able to wiggle her way out and join Burton and XunMi’s fight.
XunMi didn’t dare underestimate her opponent. With a prolonged note from Ambush from ten sides, boundless murderous aura struck down and combined into a mighty dragon, spiraling in the air and roaring.
XunMi controlled the dragon and charged it forwards towards Burton and Ye ZhiYi. With a forceful strike, Burton and Ye ZhiYi were smacked to the ground, spitting blood.
Their long fangs extended out, .
But XunMi wasn’t doing much better. She tried her best to swallow down the blood rushing up into her mouth, unwilling to appear weak.
Qian YuYou already had the man in black lying underneath his feet. With a wave of his finger, a strong wind lifted the hood off the man.
The face that appeared underneath shocked everyone, especially Prince Burton. He was completely dumbstruck.
“How could it be you…keke” Before he could finish talking, he dissolved into coughs.
“Klos.” XunMi spoke calmly. She already had the suspicions, now they were just being confirmed.
Klos collapsed onto the floor, his face deathly pale but his eyes filled with craziness.
“Hahahaha, it’s still a failure at the end. It’s still a failure. A failure.” He had planned for over a thousand years but still lost.
“Why.” XunMi’s eyes were complicated. She didn’t understand.
Klos’ eyes were filled with anger. “You’re asking me why? How laughable. Why do you guys deserve to be living so well when my parents have left the world after being labelled as traitors. They were only in love. Just because one was a hunter and one was a vampire? What happened to the eternal good relations between vampires and hunters? It’s all lies! Lies!” In the end, his parents were executed, and burned at the stake.
He hated vampires, he hated the hunters’ guild. If not because of them, he would still have his happy family. There would be no need to have stayed in hidden as he was growing up, no need to suffer from humiliation.
“You’re a child of a hunter and a vampire? How is that possible?” Ye ZhiYi suddenly raised her sharp voice.
It was rare for vampires to have children, their lineage was mainly through transforming others.
But now, his existence was telling her that it was possible for hunters and vampires to have children. Then, she really did lose her child that year.
“Ah!!! How could this be? Jia Na, Jia Na, Jia Na!” Ye ZhiYi yelled out a name, on the brink of craziness.
Tears blurred her vision. It was as if she had returned to that time.
The warmth of the young man carefully enveloped her, as he narrated stories about the future they will have together in her ear.
