章節 53: You are pretty handsome

"My King, I don't think that the hunters can be trusted," Aiken says to Fu Sheng when they arrive at the edge of the forest.

During the discussion, Ian Jonathon announced that they need someone who supported neither sides and speaks objectively. He boldly suggested Huang Qiuyan. Fu Sheng was naturally against it. The discussion came to a halt. The purebloods left immediately.

"I don't trust them either," Fu Sheng gazes at the clearing. 5 new vampires are approaching them. Fu Mian's and Huang Qiuyan's scents are barely lingering in the air. They must have gone already. It is still a day journey to the castle. "Noah, go ahead and see that they are safe."

Noah accepts the commands and leaves right away. Only four purebloods are left. Fu Sheng turns around and looks at Aiken. "I will show you how to kill them."

***

Lei casts the same spell to hide their scents from other vampires. Huang Qiuyan leads the two vampires while carrying Fu Mian. Using the system, she manages to avoid the creatures. After a day of running, Huang Qiuyan and others reach the lake -- the same lake she jumped into. She flinches when she remembers how cold the water was.

[Dear Host, you should throw this little bomb in your hand to the lake.]

[Maybe I should find a way to uninstall you before I find a way to break the bond.]

[Dear Host, I can only suggest. You are the one who makes the decision.]

[Why do I have this evil system in my head? I want to exorcise you.]

Angry, the system decides not to talk to anymore. He checks out the Inter-D media for the latest news. Which system's ranking is highest? What's his ranking? He wants to level up and release new features. If his host levels up, he can do that.

Fu Mian is sleepy, but she forces herself to keep awake because of Huang Qiuyan. She's afraid that her mother will run off if she falls asleep.

Huang Qiuyan looks up at barely visible castle at the top of the mountain. It's surrounded by fog. Maybe they are clouds. She didn't pay much attention last time. There are no stairs or elevators.

"So, how do you get there?" She asks Izo with a puzzled face.

"My Queen." Izo and Lei utter together, seemingly distressed. The only way to reach the castle is by flying. The converts can't fly, especially the ones with low ranks. They can carry Fu Mian, but carrying the queen is asking for a beating. Unless it's the last option, they can't touch her. The vampires are extremely territorial about it. "We should wait for the King."

Why did the King not think of this?

"Do we climb the mountain?" Huang Qiuyan doesn't want to wait for the evil King. He's still the bad bad bad guy in her eyes. He might be a good father, but she can never forget how he can tempt her.

"Uncle, why can't we fly like always?" Fu Mian rubs her eyes and yawns. "It's cold here."

"About that..." Lei glances at the queen. She's staying because of Fu Mian. If he takes the princess, she's definitely running away. He can't let that happen. "Princess, let's wait."

Just then, Noah catches up to them. "Why are you still here? Let's get to the castle."

Izo and Lei stare at him like he has grown two heads. Noah doesn't understand. He eyes Huang Qiuyan and Fu Mian. He creases his brow when he notices their pale faces. They are clearly tired. Noah and the other two vampires aren't doing anything better.

"My Queen, it's cold here. Princess will catch a cold if she stays out here."

"We are supposed to wait for the king." Huang Qiuyan makes a face, clearly upset.

"No, the King doesn't want you to wait. He wants both of you safe and sound." Noah has been told to see to their safety. The command is clear. "My Queen, take my hand. I will take you there."

Izo and Lei let out a sigh of relief.

"Okay." Huang Qiuyan holds his hand without a second thought. She realizes that she doesn't feel the same electric current that runs through her veins when she touches Fu Sheng. Is it because of the bond?

All the purebloods are eye-candies. Noah has curly brown hair and sharp light brown eyes. If she was the same Huang Qiuyan, she would have a strong crush on this man. But Noah and all the other men whom she has seen so far pales compare to Fu Sheng.

She hasn't even noticed that she's floating upward toward the castle with Noah. Izo and Lei are following right behind them. Seeing that they are going to the castle and Huang Qiuyan has no intention of running, Fu Mian lets down her guards and falls asleep.

"You are pretty handsome," Huang Qiuyan tells him quietly. 'Not more good looking than Fu Sheng.'

She doesn't say the last 6 words.

Noah is perturbed under her scrutinizing gaze. Izo and Lei have heard it too. They shake their heads at Noah. They are lucky that the king isn't here.

What is their queen thinking? Noah is sweating. Please don't look at him this way in front of the king. He's sure that he will be sent to the depth of hell.
