"He was a demon, a fallen vampire abandoned by the vampire clan. By the time we wanted to solve the problem, he had already disappeared. Even if he didn't disappear at that time, the vampire clan would have suffered losses while fighting against him." You JiuXiao wasn't too knowledgable about the situation. When things were fine, he was lying dormant. When that person started everything, he was still sleeping. ╭（╯_╰）╭
So the information he's received now was only superficial at best. He would need to find out more details from the elders. But the elders were all in the forbidden area protecting Sir Ancestor.
"I'm the target, " XunMi said with certainty. All these events somehow had to do with her, hehe...
"Wild Rose Beauty, that person must be a jealous woman that popped out purposely to cause trouble." Klos, who had finally climbed down from the French window rushed to XunMi's side and spoke with stars in his eyes.
"Right! Wild Rose Beauty, I am Klos. You can call me Klos gege." Aiya, Wild Rose Queen truly lives up to her title as the most beautiful person in the entire vampire clan. He wasn't just talking about outer appearance. When you thought of vampires, you immediately thought of blood and desire. A vampire's nature made them naturally impulsive.
Such a clean and aloof person was a rarity, especially someone that was also sucha beauty.
XunMi slightly nodded her head, the small smile on her lips meant to display amicability."Prince Klos, why would you think it was a woman?"
"Aiya, Wild Rose Beauty don't treat me like a stranger." Klos pitifully complained. Suddenly, he changed his tone and seriously explained, "That person keeps looking for trouble for you. It could mean that they are jealous of Beauty's appearance. Only a woman would react like that."
You JiuXiao once again kicked him. Luckily, Klos reacted quickly so avoided a second round of suffering.
"Wah, Jiu! You're putting romance before friendship!" He jumped away while yelling. {T/N: 见色忘友 jianse wangyou refers to when someone neglects their friends once they find a new love}
XunMi calmly took in the noisy group, her mood relaxing in the process. Although she never deliberately thought about it, there was still pressure in her heart. That world set in the ancient times didn't even make her feel panic-striken.
But now, when she truly faced some things that exceeded the boundaries of the human world, she had trouble assimilating within a short time. But when she remembered that her husband was still waiting for her to find him, she immediately regained her fighting spirit.
The person on XunMi's mind had just arrived outside of Wild Rose Castle. He took in the sight of wild roses growing on the walls with interest. He plucked one off the wall and placed it in the palm of his hand, as if he had just discovered a satisfying toy. Yet in the next second, he ruthlessly squeezed his fist together. Bright red liquid flowed down his fingers and onto the floor.
The strong fragrance of flowers instantly gained the attention of those within the castle, causing their guards to raise. Soon, their faces turned to shock. The natural sense of intimidation and the pressure emitted from a high leveled vampire made them powerless to defend themselves.
Qian YuYou finally arrived to meet his little kitten. His eyes flashed with a strong urge to invade. Since the little kitten had already provoked him, she can no longer go out and provoke all these irrelevant people.
It was obvious that he had heard a lot about the Wild Rose Queen's past on his way over. Of course, he heard the most about her beauty and how much others liked her.
He heard all about how this person and that person did this and that to gain her attention. It made him feel completely dark. As expected she was a wild kitten. Without an owner, she would run around everywhere. When he found her, he will make sure to hold her tight so that only he could see her.
If she were to seduce or entice anyone, it could only be him. He unfolded his fist, his tongue licked the red off the palm of his hand. Sweetness mixed with rawness, as if a mixture of his and the little kitten's flavor.
He walked towards the castle one step at a time. He knew his little kitten was inside. But there were also two men with strong airs. His face darkened.
Little kitten, you best wish that those aren't your lovers. Or else...
"He's entered, " XunMi pushed forward under the oppressive atmosphere of pressure to sit in her throne. Her forehead was already drenched with cold sweat.
You JiuXiao and Klos were also not doing well. The two could barely maintain their standing position.
"Did an elder awaken?" Klos said with uncertainty.
"It should be. Did you guys sense the formidable pressure of original blood?" You JiuXiao shook his head. His eyes were serious. He didn't know if the other party was a friend or enemy. {T/N: I think author is referring to original generation of vampires here}
Especially now that they knew there were traitors within the vampire clan, the sudden appearance of a someone that could easily crush them made him uneasy.
XunMi was even more uneasy. The original soul was only a few hundred years old, she didn't know much about the higher ups in the vampire clan.
"It couldn't that person right?" Klos cried out with alarm, his entire body trembling.
You JiuXiao didn't reply. He also thought it was possible that person had awoken. If it was really him, then it would be good, on the premise that this was under ordinary circumstances.
After all, that person was a truly insane. He could be laughing one moment and peacefully smiling with bloodstained hands the next.
"You're correct. Little Klos' reaction time sure is fast.
A man in a purple gown stepped forward in front of them. Qian YuYou had discovered who the other two men were when he arrived at the doorway, causing his expression to immediately relax.
He had an understanding of these two kids. It was good that his little kitten wasn't attracting bees and butterflies then. {T/N: 招蜂引蝶 attracting the opposite sex}
Compared to You JiuXiao and Klos' faces of suffering, XunMi looked even more helpless. Wasn't this the unlucky person that she had bitten a few days ago? At the time, she was too busy running away to think about what to do if he came to find her.
Now, reality was telling her that doing bad things would always lead to karma.
"Ancestor, why have you woken? Is there an important matter?" Klos put a bold face on while wailing in his heart.
You JiuXiao was also stared in puzzlement at the new arrival with an air of domineering superiority.
According to the time, Ancestor should be sleeping for at least another 600 years before waking.
Besides sucking blood, another way for vampires to rise in rank was through hibernation. Most tend to gain their strength through sleep. Thus, hibernation for vampires was important. If there wasn't any fatal crisis or threat of extermination, then this Ancestor should still be sleeping.
XunMi stiffened for a moment. She could feel his gaze resting on her. In his gaze, she could see playfulness as well as concealed fervent passion.
She didn't know why she was able to understand him so clearly. However, when this person entered, it was like an invisible feeling was emerging before her eyes.
"En, my matter is to capture the little kitten that ate her full and ran away." Qian YuYou rubbed his chin and teased.
