Chapter 498: Chapter 498 Blood Clan Queen (27)

Zhi Kong felt a cool kiss fall into the palm of his hand.

He came to his senses slightly, the wound in his hand had healed, without a trace to be seen.

“Go down to eat,” Chuzheng released him.

“…Oh,” Zhi Kong’s mind was a bit chaotic as he instinctively responded.

He clenched his hand, holding it by his side.

His palm was still cool.

–

The dining table was laden with human food, exquisite and good-looking, with a strong fragrance.

Chuzheng and Su Ji both sat at the table, but only Zhi Kong was eating.

“What do you plan to do about Karlo and Xia Ci?”

“If they can’t be killed, what else can be done?” Chuzheng said indifferently.

“Karlo is a prince, the Blood Clan will choose a time to conduct a trial and conviction. But Xia Ci…”

Su Ji glanced cautiously at Chuzheng.

“Xia Ci betrayed you, aren’t you angry?”

He had never seen Her Royal Highness the Queen before.

But he knew that Her Royal Highness had a favored human by her side.

At that time, Xia Ci was respected wherever she went and addressed as “my lord.”

Even princes had to give way to her.

It was unimaginable that Xia Ci would join forces with Karlo to betray Her Royal Highness the Queen; he wondered what she was thinking.

“Why be angry over someone insignificant?”

If that were the case, she might as well have been perpetually angry.

Besides, it wasn’t me she betrayed.

Su Ji: “Then how do you plan to deal with her?”

Chuzheng, stroking her chin, said, “Let me think.”

Karlo needs to face the Blood Clan’s trial.

But Xia Ci does not.

“If you make up your mind, just give me your orders, and I will carry them out,” Su Ji offered obsequiously.

Chuzheng nodded: “Mhm.”

On the side, Zhi Kong, who was eating: “…”

Can’t they discuss this kind of thing without a human present?

“By the way, Your Highness… may I bring Su Li here?” Su Ji asked eagerly.

Chuzheng: “Do you want to bite her?”

That little Mushroom would probably taste very sweet.

Just a bit timid.

Too noisy.

“…Your Highness, I am a good member of the Blood Clan.” He had no intention of biting her! “After all, we are companions who have weathered great storms together on the island, how can I stand by and watch her suffer at the academy?”

Su Ji licked his lips unnaturally.

Chuzheng assessed him without a word.

Su Ji: “Can I, Your Highness?”

Su Ji waited expectantly for Chuzheng’s response.

Chuzheng was noncommittal.

Su Ji pondered, it must be an approval.

So, he scurried off happily.

The entire dining hall fell silent.

Zhi Kong sipped the sweet broth, pursing his lips: “Are you hungry?”

“Are you offering to let me bite you?” Chuzheng asked bluntly.

She was starving to death.

If not for her restraint a moment ago, he wouldn’t be able to sit here and eat now.

Being a member of the Blood Clan is pathetic.

Zhi Kong gripped the spoon tightly: “…Perhaps… not drink too much?”

Zhi Kong nearly bit his own tongue after speaking.

What was he saying?

Chuzheng, with a cool expression: “I won’t drink.”

If I can’t be satisfied, it’s better not to eat at all.

I’ll endure it!!

How could a girl not bear even a little hunger?

Zhi Kong: “…”

She actually refused?!

Zhi Kong should have been relieved.

After all, the words he had just uttered were spoken without thinking.

But now, he experienced an indescribable sensation… It was like he had prepared a gift with all his heart, only to have it returned to him after giving it away.

–

Su Li was quickly taken away by Su Ji.

When she heard that her roommate was Her Royal Highness the Queen, Su Li felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

She had actually shared a bed with Her Royal Highness the Queen!!

And now, Her Royal Highness had not forgotten their little camaraderie.

‘Do not forget each other when at the height of wealth and honor!’

Her Royal Highness was a good person!

Thinking that she had slept with Her Royal Highness the Queen and could brag about it made her feel prestigious.

Fear?

She was already here and couldn’t leave, so what was the use of being afraid?

Now that she could cling to a powerful leg, of course, she had to hold on tight.

Perhaps if the powerful leg was pleased, it might just let her leave.

However, Su Li’s joy dissipated upon learning that Su Ji also lived here—in the room next to hers, no less—and she was utterly dismayed.

She wanted to go back!

She did not want to live here!

This baby-faced man was far more terrifying than Her Royal Highness the Queen!

Depraved, shameless, frivolous, he lacked any of the Blood Clan’s elegant gentlemanliness!

Going back was impossible.

Su Li trembled with fear as she settled in, her daily life filled with being so scared by Su Ji that she questioned her existence.

Since Su Li moved in, the castle became much livelier.

But Su Li liked to stick close to Zhi Kong.

In Su Li’s words: ‘You and I are the only humans here, we definitely need to stick together.’

In reality, it was just that Su Ji was somewhat wary of Zhi Kong and did not dare to openly scare her in front of him.

–

The young boy lay curled up in the gently swinging cradle, sleeping like a subdued beast with retracted claws, quiet and docile.

“Zhi Kong,”

Upon hearing the voice, the boy’s eyelashes fluttered, and he slowly opened his eyes.

A bewitchingly charming figure, cloaked in a cape and holding an umbrella, stood a few steps away, watching him with a smile brimming with delight.

The boy instantly sat up, subconsciously gripping the knife at his side.

The fangs he had hidden were bared once more, his gaze on the figure before him fierce and loathsome.

“Oh, you’re still so adorable,” Lucy covered her mouth with a giggle, “Are you happy to see me?”

Zhi Kong didn’t speak, just stared at her, wishing he could tear the Blood Clan member before him to shreds.

But he couldn’t…

Lucy was a prince, and even his own people combined could not best her.

The hatred in Zhi Kong’s eyes grew denser, and Lucy found it more amusing to watch.

The ones beside her were always either afraid, terror-stricken, or obsequiously infatuated.

Such riffraff couldn’t compare with the person before her.

“You really are my surprise,” Lucy said in high spirits: “Surviving on Death Island, I like you more and more.”

Zhi Kong pursed his lips, the warning in his deep voice clear: “This is Her Highness’s palace.”

Lucy traced her fingertip over her lips leisurely, using her seductive face to form an innocent expression: “Yes, how did you meet Her Highness?”

“But it doesn’t matter.”

Lucy smiled confidently: “A human, after all, do you think Her Highness would really care? I’ll just mention it to her. For the sake of maintaining her position within the Blood Clan, she won’t refuse.”

Zhi Kong’s knuckles whitened, something turbulent surfacing in his eyes.

“Prince Lucy, Her Highness is waiting for you,”

Someone called out to her from a distance.

Lucy blew Zhi Kong a coquettish kiss: “Wait for me.”

Lucy swayed away with her hips in a flirtatious manner.

Zhi Kong’s body suddenly relaxed, his forehead beaded with cold sweat.

——A human, after all, do you think Her Highness would really care? I’ll just mention it to her. For the sake of maintaining her position within the Blood Clan, she won’t refuse.

Would she care?

Zhi Kong didn’t know.

She had promised to help him seek revenge.

But could her words be trusted?

Could her position as Her Royal Highness the Queen measure up to his status as a mere human?

Zhi Kong looked around; at this moment, the sunlight was fierce, and no member of the Blood Clan would appear nearby.

His eyes flickered uncertainly before he finally left in one direction.
