"Master." Ryan was somewhat frightened; such a powerful aura indicated that the person was at least a duke or higher.
Xunmi waved his hand, and a stream of air quickly appeared around them, opening up the simple barrier.
"I wonder which prince has arrived and what brings him here."
She could clearly feel that powerful aura, somewhat oppressive, which made her feel that way.
He was at least a prince, or perhaps a senior official sleeping in the forbidden area.
Ryan immediately felt much better. The pressure from the high-ranking king was too great for him, who was just a viscount.
Nangong Ci didn't seem to notice anything unusual, but he clearly sensed that something was off, especially after Mi had just spoken.
Why doesn't she remember any master arriving at this time in the original drama? Could it be because of her time travel?
"You are indeed the Rose Queen, just as the rumors say."
"She is stunningly beautiful and seduces men to feed on their blood."
"Have you forgotten the precepts of my vampire clan? Today I have come to reclaim the gifts that the vampire clan has bestowed upon you."
The voice was accompanied by a blond man whose features, while not deep-set or three-dimensional, were still quite striking.
A purple brocade robe, an indescribable feeling.
His brows conveyed a gentleness, yet his eyes were quite serious.
Xunmi thought that this person should be a gentle person who likes to smile, but what happened made him harden up.
Although it was more appealing, she was unhappy when she thought that the reason was her own.
What do you mean she specializes in seducing men? Damn it, she's been completely wronged!
And who is this guy anyway? He comes in and immediately tries to act cool, which makes it seem like she's having a little tantrum.
"Your Highness, my master is not as you say. Please do not insult him."
Ryan was eager to protect his master, and even though he knew he couldn't withstand the other party's momentum, he stood up without fear to defend his master.
Nangong Ci frowned. This man seemed so familiar. He had blond hair and black eyes, looked to be of mixed Chinese and Western descent, and was exceptionally handsome.
He exuded an undeniable warmth; he was indeed a prince. Perhaps it wasn't what she had guessed.
"Bad people never admit they've done bad things, so there's no need to say more. Just let go of that girl."
With a flick of her hand, You Jiuxiao instantly appeared inside the barrier of the search.
They easily brought Nangong Ci out and even swung a palm to stop Xunmi's attempt to snatch him.
In fact, Xunmi had no intention of stopping them, because when this person made his move, the baby's notification sounded again: "Key character in the plot has appeared."
She also easily learned that this person was the male lead, according to the age-old law of male and female leads.
She won't hurt the other person, even if it's a heart-wrenching story in the middle, it will still have a happy ending.
If that's the case, why should she go through all that trouble?
She disliked this sudden, underhanded attack and quickly dodged it.
Yet his clothes still got bruised. Sure enough, a newly promoted prince can't compare to a prince who has been around for thousands of years.
"His Highness the Ninth Prince's strength is unfathomable, and I am ashamed to admit my inferiority."
"But I will not admit to what the Ninth Prince said. I wonder where the Ninth Prince heard this news from."
If she finds out who framed her, she'll tear him to pieces.
Do they think she can't break through, or do they want to kill her when her power is unstable after she breaks through? Ha...
What grudge could there be? Damn it.
You Jiuxiao was somewhat skeptical. Before he arrived, many of his subjects had come to him to complain.
Even among ordinary people, under such circumstances, how could he possibly believe this person's one-sided story?
However, after sleeping for hundreds of years, when he awoke, he found that there was a Rose Queen who used her beauty to bewitch people.
He was still a wicked man, and as a prince who was responsible for upholding the precepts, he would not tolerate it.
"Produce the evidence." You Jiuxiao wasn't the type to act arbitrarily; he would act impartially.
She sighed, searching for evidence. Where could she find evidence?
"Since you can't produce any evidence, then accept the punishment." With that, he took action directly, giving Xunmi no chance to argue.
Xunmian really wanted to swear. This is ridiculous!
She wasn't ready yet, and she kept dodging while retaliating.
Nangong Ci stared dumbfounded at the two who had started fighting without warning, completely bewildered.
"Stop right now! Your so-called Ninth Prince, Mi Mingming, didn't do any of those despicable things."
Mi has made so many contributions to the vampire clan, yet she was still hurt like this.
It's no wonder the vampires were wiped out in the end, but it dragged Mi down with them. No, she has to change the original ending.
"Pfft!" Under the immense pressure of his superior level, Xunmi coughed up blood.
Even though they are both at the King level, she is still far behind.
Ryan, needless to say, had already collapsed on the ground, pale-faced and unconscious.
As he searched for the surging blood and qi in his chest, enduring the cracking sensation on his skin, he quickly chanted a series of incantations and vanished from the spot.
You Jiuxiao was also shocked. If this Rose Queen hadn't just advanced and her abilities weren't still unstable, he probably wouldn't have been able to defeat her.
However, she still managed to escape, and it was he who gave her the opportunity.
He was puzzled as to why this ordinary person, who was being treated as food, would speak up for the Rose Queen.
Nangong Ci watched helplessly as the goddess coughed up blood and fled, her face full of indignation. She couldn't even maintain her aloofness as the young lady of the Nangong family.
"You bastard, You Jiuxiao, do you know how much Mi has done for the vampire clan?"
"Why do you all bully her? Is it her fault that she's pretty?"
"Those men all covet her. If she didn't use her strength to protect herself, she would have... she would have..."
She couldn't continue talking about this; the thought of Mi's final fate made her feel so sorry for her.
She knew her emotions came too quickly, but this was all she could use to distract herself from the panic that had suddenly appeared in the book.
Perhaps it was the kindness Mi showed her at the beginning, that chick-like affection, that made her unable to bear seeing Mi get hurt.
"Why do all men treat her like this? She's so good."
Nangong Ci couldn't hold back her tears, unsure whether she was crying for Mi or for herself.
She felt incredibly sad, sadder than ever before.
You Jiuxiao's outstretched hand froze in place. Was he wrong?
Seeing the girl in front of him crying uncontrollably, he felt somewhat at a loss.
"Don't cry, you can tell me if you have any grievances."
You Jiuxiao awkwardly hugged the girl tightly and gently patted her to comfort her.
Nangong Ci broke down emotionally, repeatedly pounding You Jiuxiao's chest.
"When I first arrived here, Mi was so kind to me and even took me in, but you hurt Mi."
"She's injured now. What if she runs into bad guys? Do you know how many people want to catch her and lock her up?"
To be honest, Nangong Ci really did jinx it.
