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.
"Who came in here?" 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 kitten's 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. Didn't she know what that process symbolized? Ah... he hasn't 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.
"Ancestor, you..." The First Elder quickly inquired to the already-preparing-to-leave Qian YuYou. He was nervous. Ancestor won't abandon them just because they had not been able to successfully guard him, right?
Qian YuYou waved his hand, "I'm going to find a cruel little kitten." 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 wasn't as cold and lonely as before. Nangong Ci had brought her original body's younger sister to settle down within the castle as well.
You JiuXiao's 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 didn't 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.
"Jiu, you are a true friend for giving me this opportunity to see the legendary Wild Rose Queen." Klos, a King level vampire friend of You JiuXiao's, 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 friend's odd behavior. A few thouosand years had passed and yet this dude was still the same.
"Jiu, don't think I don't know. You are definitely scolding me in your heart right now." Klos plucked a wild rose, his eyes filled with infatuation.
"Hurry up and go in." You JiuXiao kicked Klos. He still had important things to do, he didn't have time to waste. The Wild Rose Queen should have woken up by now. If she didn't, he was willing to stay here and wait.
XunMi didn't know yet that her peaceful days were about to disappear. Currently, she was enjoying the Female Lead's little sister's delicious food. Although vampires didn't need to eat anything, XunMi was still a normal person on the inside. When she saw beautiful, mouthwatering pastries, she won't be able to resist. The taste was ineffable and her mood raised in the process.
"Ci, your sister sure is talented." XunMi praised while eating.
Nangong Ci smiled happily. In this short time, she's really stepped away from her previous identity as the aloof Nangong family's Young Miss. Now, she would frequently erupt at You JiuXiao while being completely lovable towards XunMi.
"Mi, can my sister and I stay here for the time being? I'll 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 won't live here for free. So can you take us in?" Nangong Ci was smart, she didn't have the large ambitions of those transmigrating girls in online novels. She only wanted a peaceful life, and to protect the original body's 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 wasn't willing to bet where her safety was concerned. She was aware of her strengths. In her previous life, as the Nangong family's 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, Hunters' 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.
XunMi's own intentions were to have the Female Lead stay. Hearing her request now, she would naturally agreed without hesitation.
"That's great, thank you Mi!" Nangong Ci couldn't hold back her cheers of excitement.
"What's great?" The just entering You JiuXiao immediately heard the excited voice of the person that was always attracting his attention.
"What does it have to do with you? Humph, why are you here again?" As soon as Nangong Ci heard You JiuXiao's 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.
"Wow wow. Who is this little beauty? Your blood smells pretty sweet. Ah?" 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 don't they understand what was going on?
"Prince Jiu, did you have any business to attend to here?" 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.
"There's not just one traitor within the vampire clan. Also, there's other news. The original master of the Wild Rose Castle is back." You JiuXiao spoke solemnly to XunMi while he gazed deeply into the distance.
"I don't understand, " XunMi's expression didn't 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.
"To be precise, this wasn't known as the Wild Rose Castle in the beginning. It didn't 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."
