Chapter 226 The Legend of the Blood Tribe
Chapter 226 The Legend of the Blood Tribe
Beside the classical and exquisite round table, a beautiful woman sat upright, the dim light slanting down, shining on her delicate face, making her look particularly beautiful.
The white and slender fingers fell on the yellowed old paper, giving off a sense of desolate and quiet beauty.
"Your Highness, the new king of the werewolf tribe is on the way. Should we host a banquet to welcome him, or... meet the enemy?"
Dill appeared at some point and stood quietly behind Shi Qi.
"Oh? They are quite quick. The new king even came in person. That's quite interesting." Shi Qi closed the ancient book in his hand and raised his eyes slightly, with a faint smile in his eyes.
"That…"
"We're holding a banquet, but we can't just offend others." Shi Qi stood up, his gray-purple eyes shining faintly.
She knew without even thinking what the werewolves were here to do this time; it was nothing more than an apology and reconciliation.
But the deeper level... is self-evident.
Compared to the vampires, the werewolves are actually more bloodthirsty and brutal in nature. Although they appear peaceful on the surface, they actually have long wanted to dominate the four tribes.
If we want peace among the four tribes, the werewolf tribe... is the key. If it is not necessary, it is better not to tear each other apart.
"I understand, but...Yin Su has just transformed and become the king, and his power is the strongest. I'm worried..." Dill lowered his eyes, and the worry was obvious in his eyes.
Shi Qi was stunned for a moment, thinking of the ugly little thing he met when he first came to this world, and was quite speechless.
"Don't worry, they're not here to cause trouble this time."
Besides, she didn’t think that Yin Su could cause any trouble now.
"Okay, I'll get ready. As for Ling Li..."
"I will go and invite you personally, so I won't trouble the prince." Shi Qi raised his eyebrows and said lightly.
Dill was stunned, looking at the bright person in front of him, feeling a little bitter in his heart.
She must really like him, even when she mentions him, her breath becomes warm.
"Your Highness, we are not of the same kind after all. I hope Your Highness... puts yourself first in everything." Dill suppressed the bitterness in his heart, looked up and reminded with a smile.
"Thank you for your concern, Prince." Shi Qi raised his eyes and smiled in response.
Shi Qi sighed only after Dill left.
It’s better not to start something that will not lead to any result.
She would eventually betray Dill's feelings. They had a tacit understanding for a thousand years, and the other party understood it without them having to say it out loud.
Sometimes Shi Qi thought that if the original owner had not met Ling Li, she would probably really choose Dill. No girl would refuse such an excellent, loyal and long-term man.
But the rarest thing in this world is "if".
Once the person you like appears, the order of their appearance becomes unimportant.
……
"Ling Li, there will be a banquet tonight. You will be my male companion." A clear voice came from outside the door, interrupting the thoughts of the person on the bed.
"Don't go."
As Shi Qi expected, she received a cold rejection in response.
"But I'm discussing this with you this time." Shi Qi said calmly, but he was a little nervous in his heart.
"So I'm saying no to you this time." The sudden voice came through the crack in the door, leisurely and a little hoarse, but very pleasant to hear.
"..."
There’s really nothing to say. I can only say that through their conversations over the past few days, Shi Qi has gotten used to it.
The process doesn't matter, anyway...in the end Ling Li will always happily (and helplessly) agree to her.
Shi Qi looked at the handsome man in the classical painting on the wall, and then he held his breath a little: fine... I can't get angry, it hurts my body...
A few seconds later, Ling Li realized there was no more movement outside the door, so he barely poked his head out from under the quilt.
The boy's eyebrows were stern, and his expression was obviously much more relaxed. Perhaps it was because he had been covered in the quilt for too long. His black bangs were soaked and lay flat on his forehead. His shirt was slightly open on his chest, revealing his delicate collarbone. His thin lips were slightly pursed, looking very abstinent.
However, when he suddenly saw the woman beside the bed with her chest crossed and looking down at him, Ling Li, holding the corner of the quilt with both hands, was suddenly stunned.
Shi Qi sighed sincerely that Ling Li's appearance was indeed pleasing to the eye, and was thinking about whether to replace the painting on the wall with Ling Li's portrait.
At this time, the famous painting spoke.
"You...how did you get in?" A famous painting is a famous painting, and when faced with this scene, the tone is also very calm.
Shi Qi calmed down and shrugged: "Through the wall, what's so surprising about that?"
Ling Li was slightly stunned, but he also realized that the person in front of him... was not a human being, and he was making a fuss out of nothing.
"I feel that it is useless to discuss with you. It is better to force you." Shi Qi said, throwing a black suit to Ling Li.
"Put it on." After Shi Qi said that, he stood where he was, staring straight at Ling Li.
The corner of Ling Li's mouth twitched slightly, and his face became darker and darker as he looked at the woman who had no intention of leaving.
"Your Highness, please go out. I need to change my clothes."
"This dress is cumbersome, you can't wear it by yourself." Shi Qi curled the corners of her lips slightly, looking at the very awkward man in front of her, she just felt that he was very cute.
Of course, it wasn’t her who felt that way, it was the original owner who felt that way.
Shi Qi was helpless. In this world, the original owner's emotions were too strong and she couldn't control them most of the time.
After hearing this, Ling Li's face turned even darker.
"Stop lying. How is it possible that you can't even wear your clothes properly?" Ling Li stood up and said calmly.
However, twenty minutes later, Ling Li looked at the unusually complicated tie on his chest and finally... gave up struggling.
He spoke slowly to Shi Qi who had his back to him.
"How do you tie this thing? Should it be on the chest?" Due to urgency and embarrassment, the usually cold voice became soft at this moment.
Shi Qi looked back and was shocked for three hundred years.
It wasn’t because of Ling Li’s appearance, but because of... that weird tie tied on his chest! ?
She knew that Ling Li lived in a world where suits were not allowed, and that it was a bit complicated for him, but she really didn't expect that there would really be someone who would tie a tie on his chest.
"Ling Li, have you hidden something from me?" Shi Qi said hesitantly.
Ling Li was stunned for a moment, a trace of panic flashing across his eyes.
Could it be that...she discovered my purpose for coming here?
"Your Highness, you are overthinking. I dare not."
"Really? Are you sure... um... there was nothing wrong with your head on the way here?" Shi Qi blinked and finally asked his question.
Ling Li: "..."
"Well, okay, come here." Shi Qi crossed her arms, still remaining elegant and noble.
"What are you doing..." Ling Li hadn't finished speaking when he felt a hint of cold fragrance entering his nostrils. When he raised his eyes again, his figure had already appeared in the woman's eyes.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? This is a tie. I'll help you." Shi Qi moved the black tie with his fingers with a serious expression.
Her hands are particularly beautiful. Holding the tie, she looks like she is appreciating a piece of work of art.
Ling Li was a little overwhelmed for a moment and subconsciously wanted to escape, but was pulled closer by the woman.
For the first time, he felt that these few seconds seemed like a century.
For the first time, I felt that the way he looked at someone would become evasive and hesitant.
You must hate her, otherwise...why would you want to escape?
"Okay, now you finally look like a human being dressed like this. Remember, don't embarrass me." Shi Qi wanted to pat Ling Li on the shoulder, but was afraid of annoying the man, so he just smiled, said a few words, and disappeared from the room.
Ling Li was still the only one left in the room.
Empty and quiet.
It was obviously the same as before, but I always felt that something was missing after the woman left.
……
“Awoo…! Ahhhh! Faster, faster… Hahahaha…”
The man's cheerful voice continued all the way.
Uncle Li rubbed his aching ears and sighed helplessly: "Wang, don't delay on the road. At night, this road will be difficult to travel."
The man on the wooden cart had long silver-gray hair that fell softly behind him. The cutest thing about him was his ears, which were short and pointed and shook from time to time, as if he was in a very good mood.
"Uncle Li, do vampires like to eat bones?" The man looked up, his eyes seemed to be filled with a vast ocean, pure and clear.
"Wang, vampires suck blood. I have told you many times." The old man explained patiently.
"Then the Queen won't snatch the bone from me?"
"……Um."
"Uncle Li, why can't I close my ears?"
"Wang, you need to use magic. Have you read the ancient book I gave you?" Uncle Li sighed and said lightly.
The man tilted his head, as if thinking.
After a long while, she said softly, "Uncle Li, that...that book, I...I used it to...fold paper. You didn't give me bones to play with, so I folded a lot of...bones, big bones, small ribs..."
Perhaps because he was embarrassed, the boy's fair face turned red like a steamed pink bun. He clenched the corners of his clothes with both hands, looking pitiful.
Li Bo: "..."
Help, why does he have to suffer like this at his age...
