Let's Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 486: Chapter 486 Blood Clan Queen (15)
 

The ancient castle.

Xia Ci paced back and forth restlessly.

“Lady Xia Ci.”

The Blood Clan member entered from the outside. Xia Ci didn’t wait for the person to approach, she walked over: “What’s the update?”

“Lady Xia Ci…” The Blood Clan member’s complexion wasn’t good. “There is no news.”

“How can there be no news?” Xia Ci was angry. “What are you doing?”

“Lady Xia Ci.” The Blood Clan member started to sweat coldly. “The only possibility is that the Blood Clan members we sent have already…”

Died.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such silence.

“Useless trash!”

Xia Ci cursed furiously.

“What’s got you so worked up early in the morning?”

“Your Highness, the prince.” The Blood Clan member immediately saluted.

Xia Ci reigned in her anger and waved for the Blood Clan member to leave.

She stepped up the stairs: “Your Highness, the Blood Clan members I sent have lost contact; they may have… failed.”

Karlo, wearing comfortable house clothes with his collar half-open, revealed a strong and solid chest.

Karlo raised his hand and stroked Xia Ci’s face, tender and yet suggestive. “After all, she is Her Royal Highness the Queen. Even when cornered, she has tricks that we can’t imagine. Xia Ci, I’ve taught you not to underestimate her.”

The Blood Clan’s hand was ice-cold. As a human, Xia Ci couldn’t help but shudder.

“I…”

Karlo pinched Xia Ci’s chin, tilting it up slightly. “Do you think that being by her side for so long means you really understand her?”

“Your Highness…”

Karlo’s fingertip pressed against her lips. “The last time we succeeded was only because she trusted you too much. It won’t be so easy from now on.”

Karlo leaned closer, approaching Xia Ci’s neck.

His cold, pale fingers brushed aside her hanging hair. Fangs exposed, he bit her neck.

Xia Ci’s body trembled, collapsing into Karlo’s arms.

Her eyes were almost infatuated as she looked at Karlo.

After a moment, Karlo released her and whispered by her ear, “I don’t want her to appear, understand?”

“Xia Ci understands.”

Xia Ci turned to leave, but as she reached the bottom of the stairs, Karlo called out to her.

“Do you regret it?”

“Your Highness, Xia Ci has no regrets. You are the one Xia Ci wishes to follow.”

Karlo chuckled softly, “Go then.”

–

Chuzheng dealt with another group of Blood Clan and angrily kicked a clump of bushes.

Will this ever end?

Annoying creatures coming every day!

Every day!

Every day!

They come no matter what.

And they send such useless troops; after all, I am a queen… even a former queen is still a queen.

Who do they think they’re looking down upon!

Worthless creatures!

The more Chuzheng thought about it, the angrier she got, and she kicked the bushes again, making a rustling sound.

The youth stood by, his youthful face holding a calmness that didn’t match his age: “Did you offend the Blood Clan?”

“No.” Chuzheng calmly retrieved her foot.

“Then why do they want to kill you?”

This was already the fifth group of Blood Clan.

How badly did they want her dead to continuously send Blood Clan members after her?

Chuzheng thought for a moment: “Jealous of my good looks.”

Zhi Kong’s mouth twitched: “The Blood Clan isn’t that petty.”

“They are that petty.” Chuzheng was certain, then abruptly added in a fierce tone, “Are you the Blood Clan or am I the Blood Clan?”

Do you really think the Blood Clan isn’t petty?

You can’t even imagine how petty the Blood Clan can be when they want to.

Zhi Kong decided not to argue with Chuzheng.

He walked over, climbed a tree trunk, and looked out over the sea.

Chuzheng stood in the shade, tearing at the leaves of the nearby tree. In no time at all, the ground was littered with leaves.

“How long do you plan to follow me?”

“If I hadn’t followed you, you would have already died.” Chuzheng plucked at the leaves while maintaining a poker face.

“…” Zhi Kong, thinking of the food he had been eating these days, remained silent and did not object.

But deep down, Zhi Kong felt that she was keeping him as emergency rations.

Whoosh—

Zhi Kong’s mind wandered, and his foot found only air.

He uncontrollably slid downward, tumbling all the way to the bottom.

Both his palms and knees were searing with pain.

Zhi Kong looked up to see the girl standing above him, looking down at him with her eyes lowered.

Her gaze was so cold and detached, as if she was looking at an inconsequential object.

The burning pain in his palm brought Zhi Kong back to his senses.

He lifted his hand to take a look.

His palm had been scraped raw, now oozing beads of blood.

Zhi Kong’s heart raced as he quickly tore off a piece of cloth and wrapped up his palm.

Blood Clan members were scattered all over Death Island, and the scent of blood could easily attract them.

Rustle rustle rustle—

From the jungle to the left, a rustling sound approached.

The grass and foliage were being bent over, something was moving quickly toward him.

The next moment, a huge figure burst out, charging straight at him.

Zhi Kong was slammed to the ground by the Blood Clan member, its sharp claws pinning his shoulder down.

The Blood Clan’s fangs were bared in front of him, and in its crimson eyes was nothing but excitement and drooling anticipation.

Zhi Kong calmly reached for his knife, gripped it tightly, and slashed horizontally.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—

In pain, the Blood Clan member released Zhi Kong.

The wound on its abdomen emitted puffs of black smoke.

It was much like the effect of sunlight scorching them.

It let out an angry roar and its gaze toward Zhi Kong turned even more ferocious.

Damn it!

This human dared to wound him.

He would drain his blood dry.

Then feed his corpse to the sharks!

Zhi Kong, clutching his knife, backed away, his peripheral vision scanning above.

The girl stood quietly above, her cloak billowing with the wind, forming a soft curve.

She exuded a kingly presence, commanding submission and admiration.

As if she was born to stand on the pinnacle, looking down upon all beings.

Zhi Kong withdrew his gaze.

He focused on dealing with the Blood Clan member before him.

This Blood Clan member was more powerful than any he had encountered before, and Zhi Kong was thrown to the ground twice in quick succession.

He clutched the knife, slowly getting back to his feet.

The Blood Clan member seemed to be toying with him, not immediately subduing him but instead playing with him like a cat with a mouse.

“Do you need me to save you?” asked the girl with a clear voice that suddenly floated down.

Zhi Kong instinctively looked up—she was still standing there, unchanged.

Zhi Kong clenched his teeth, “No need.”

Owing a debt to a Blood Clan member.

With what could he repay it?

The Blood Clan had long noticed Chuzheng, but they perceived that something was off about her aura, and since she showed no intention of intervening, the Blood Clan didn’t bother with her.

When Chuzheng spoke up, the Blood Clan grew cautious again.

But then she just asked that question, and then… there was no follow-up.

[“Miss, you’re just going to watch the Good Person Card being bullied by the Blood Clan, is that appropriate?”] The King’s Account kept roaring.

Chuzheng justified herself righteously: If I don’t let him see how terrifying the Blood Clan outside are, how would he know my worth?

[“…”] The Good Person Card really had terrible luck, having met you!

Lightning fast, the King’s Account thought of something.

[“Miss, is this Blood Clan member someone you brought here?”]

Chuzheng with an emotionless face: Do I look like that kind of person?

[“You are.”] With a tone that was both firm and certain.

The King’s Account had no doubt that their Miss could do something so horrendous.

Chuzheng: …

Not a shred of trust.

This Blood Clan member has nothing to do with me.

[“…”] The King’s Account maintained a skeptical attitude.

One must not trust the words of the Miss.

Trust anyone, but not her.

It’s all a trap!!
