“The hunters’ guild will initiate a big war,” XunMi sorrowfully sighed, as images from the war emerged in her mind. Even someone not even from this world like her felt couldn’t look at those flashing pictures of scarlet red and bloodcurling screams. There were innocents on both sides lost in the fight who bore the consequences of others’ hatred.
That feeling of powerlessness laid heavy over the original soul’s memories.
“Those despicable hunters! Mi, don’t worry. It’s not your fault.” As a transmigrating girl, Nangong Ci was extremely familiar with the origins of the war.
“That, Prince Jiu. Since you want to know what happened, I’ll tell you. Those in the hunters’ guild can’t distinguish between right and wrong. They see vampires and kill on site, causing some vampires to respond in kind. But those vampires were only lowly ranked. They had no way of defending against the experts in the hunters’ guild. To avoid these circumstances, Mi was elected to negotiate with the hunters’ guild, hoping to reach a treaty. But who knew that those people would only covet her beauty after seeing her. They wanted to keep her for themselves and proposed that if Mi agreed to be the bargaining chip and serve them, they would no longer attack vampires. If she wasn’t willing, they would start a war.
There were already many vampires that didn’t respect Mi and also coveted her beauty, so of course they didn’t agree. Moreover, it was insulting to the vampire clan. Thus, the dispute grew.” Nangong Ci rattled on and was able to cover a large part of the plot. As for the climax and other important plots, she chose to conceal it for now.
It wasn’t the right time. She shouldn’t act rashly.
XunMi lowered her gaze, covering the violence in her eyes. Nangong Ci was telling the truth. But with the help of the original soul’s memories, she new that there was more to the story. The hunter’s guild and a group of vampires wanted to join hands to capture her. She almost fell victim to them numerous times.
The original soul had always felt that it was her fault. If not for her, vampires and the hunters’ guild wouldn’t have come to this. What the original soul didn’t was that she was just a catalyst. The hunters’ guild had an even larger scheme in mind. However, XunMi wasn’t able to access the specifics of their larger scheme. She could only vaguely guess this much.
You JiuXiao’s face darkened. This hunters’ guild really was intolerable.
“Prince Jiu, even though this situation was created due to me, I believe you can’t say it’s my fault.” XunMi looked up directly into You JiuXiao’s eyes. She wasn’t willing to compromise. She was the Wild Rose Queen, she ruled this land.
“It’s not your fault. I will investigate thoroughly.” You JiuXiao sympathized with her. The Wild Rose Queen was just a woman after all. No matter how powerful she was, she couldn’t be on guard against everyone’s dangerous intentions.
“Thank you.” XunMi paused for a second before continuing, “I think there’s a traitor within the vampire clan. This matter goes deeper than hunters’ guild just initiating a fight.” With the male lead’s intervention, this matter should be advantageous to their side now.
“What have you discovered?” You JiuXiao gravely spoke. His analysis of the situation also told him that things were not as simple as they appeared.
XunMi shook her head, “I haven’t discovered anything. It’s just that a lot of things appear too coincidental. For example, every time the hunters’ guild attacked, they’ve never suffered any defeating losses. They even have knowledge about the distribution of noble vampires’ territory. Most importantly, they so coincidentally chose to declare war when all all Count and above leveled vampires were lying dormant?”
“You should stay and recuperate here in the castle. I will have my butler come and help you.” You JiuXiao felt like he had overlooked something. After speaking to XunMi, he quickly went on his way.
He needed to go meet up with an old friend. He had been sleeping for so long, it was about time he woke up and stretched his legs.
When You JiuXiao left, Nangong Ci and RuiEn almost cheered out loud.
XunMi held in her laughter, “Alright, go rest. RuiEn, help me take care of Ci. I’m going to go into seclusion for a while. Only call me out if there’s an emergency.” After preparing, a place for Nangong Ci to stay, XunMi also disappeared from the spot.
In the main bedroom on the third floor, she silently closed the door behind her and made sure the thick curtains were shut to keep out any light from outside. This was the first time she would be experiencing sleeping in a coffin. XunMi felt it wasn’t too bad, it was comfortable enough to sleep here for an infinity.
She closed her eyes and began focusing on the power in her body.
As she immersed into her mind, XunMi remembered something. “Right, BaoBao. Have you detected who my dear husband is?”
BaoBao yawned, and softly replied. [Madam Host, did I forget to tell you? This is a punishment world. A lot of the system’s functions won’t be accessible here. Besides opening the system space and market, practically nothing else can be used.] The underlying massage was, ‘if you want to find your husband, you’re going to have to depend on your own abilities.’
XunMi deflated. Alright, she can find him herself. If she didn’t know how to find her husband after being with him in so many lifetimes, then she would truly be a weakling.
Meanwhile, the reality demonstrated that she was able to find her husband, but just didn’t know it yet.
While the environment in the castle was finally tranquil, the underground castle within the forest was currently in a state of unrest.
“What’s going on with Ancestor?” An old man with a long white beard worriedly asked. {T/N they are saying 始祖， which literally translated would be primogenitor but that sounds I’m going with ancestor instead here. But just know that he’s like a first generation vampire then.}
Another elderly man shook his head, “I don’t know. Ancestor’s air grew stronger suddenly.”
“First Elder, Second Elder. Do you think Ancestor is about to wake up?” A third voice sounded.
“Perhaps. Then let’s stand on guard here and wait for Ancestor to awaken. First Elder spoke with uncertainty.
“Why do I smell a faint scent of blood?” The elder that had remained silent the entire time finally spoke up.
The four looked at each other, their suspicions and confusion increasing. Could it be that while they had all been dormant, someone sneaked into the Ancestor’s home?
But that shouldn’t be possible. Not only were the four of them right next door, but the Ancestor’s room was guarded by an oppressive feeling of pressure from a superior along with a spell. Moreover, there were a lot of alarms on the way in.
It was nearly impossible to break in. If someone set off these silent alarms, they would have felt it.
But thanks to the golden hack that is BaoBao, they weren’t able to discover any problems. At the time, BaoBao had felt his Host charging forward without a second thought, he turned on the system’s shield function.
It differently wasn’t free though! Ten thousand points per use. XunMi still didn’t even know yet.
Thank god…
Bump! Thud.
Sounds came out of the coffin. The four elders all stretched out their necks to gaze down.
