The Seventh Night, a Heartbreaking Date

The vibrant roses resemble a layer of crimson clouds, drifting at the edge of the Rose Castle, whose majestic silhouette appears and disappears in the twilight. As the limousine departs, the outline of the castle swiftly vanishes at the end of the rose garden

As the influx of information surged, my head began to ache intensely. In agony, I covered my head and, in the process, collapsed into the embrace of Huang Mingxi.

I hope to slow down a bit, as if this way I could secure the opportunity to stay here; perhaps Huang Mingxi might change his mind in the next moment? However, I clearly know that this is impossible

So, he already knew that I am a hunter

How could someone possibly like a monster like me

Liuli incessantly berated me like the old woman in a television drama

I was slowly tidying up the few pieces of luggage in the small attic

Meanwhile, some fragmented memories belonging to the legacy of hunters surfaced in my mind

The sides of the road, which should have been filled with stalls, surprisingly had not a single stall left.

The summer night festival turned into the most terrifying nightmare I have experienced in 17 years

Yesterday, they were all on guard against me as if I were a raging flood or a ferocious beast, but today they suddenly began to change their attitude. What is going on?

And I now understand

"Tea Night, as the last hunter evolved from humanity in this world, I have the duty to guide you." He revealed a cruel smile, "Now, if you have any questions, you may ask me."

Crash!

Attract? As long as you don't provoke his disdain, I will be able to smile secretly

I walked forward mechanically as if facing a formidable enemy, fearing that I might make any wrong move

"Bloodline? That is the most despicable creature in the world; how could I possibly be a bloodline?" He casually raised his right hand and examined it up and down, as if it were the rarest treasure in the world. With his eyelids lowered, he spoke slowly, "As your predecessor, it is time to tell you what kind of mission you truly bear. After all..."

As for Huang Mingxi, whenever I appeared before him, he always wore a poker face, not even willing to spare me a glance.

First, let us start with your attire!" With a snap of her fingers, the driver who had been waiting respectfully outside the door immediately entered, holding a box with great reverence.

I also want to go back, but I don't know when it started. Huang Mingxi has already become a very important friend to me. However, perhaps it is precisely because he is of noble blood with a doctor's degree that he understands the dangers of being of noble blood even more. Especially after I attacked him, he must be very disappointed in me

I absentmindedly took a few bites of food and realized that my limited intelligence was simply insufficient. So I decided to cut through the confusion decisively—setting aside all questions and letting things take their natural course

I may lack other skills, but I have mastered the art of letting information enter through my left ear and exit through my right ear to a remarkable degree

A strange thought suddenly flashed through my mind, and I quickly shook my head to drive it away

Try it

He clearly knows that I am his arch-enemy, yet he still treats me with such tenderness

I sat up straight in the car the entire way. When the driver opened the door for me, I was about to step out immediately, almost compromising my lady-like demeanor. Fortunately, Liuli's quick reflexes prevented my "ungraceful" action.

It was brief, yet profound, making me feel that the distance between him and me is not as unreachable as I had imagined

I only feel a sense of weakness throughout my body, unable to exert any strength at all. My consciousness fluctuates between clarity and confusion, and occasionally I can still perceive the movements beside me

Kill him! Kill him!

Has the conflict between him and Huang Mingxi been resolved?

I hesitated at the classroom door, unsure whether to walk to my original seat.

However, after a brief exchange of glances, Huang Mingxi immediately withdrew his gaze without any mercy

I bit down on the chopsticks in my mouth and said indistinctly, "How did she leave? I haven't had a chance to thank her yet"

Thank you, let's go. I silently picked up the suitcase and forced a smile at Ji Youran.

I awkwardly touched my flat stomach

Who is it!" Ji Youran shouted loudly

"It is I!" Liuli placed the cup on the table beside her, crossing her arms and looking at me. "I heard from my brother that the reason the noble lord is dissatisfied with you is that you have never learned how to be a qualified lady! Although I know you have always been unkempt and your behavior is rude, I never expected you to be this slovenly! Don't even talk about being a lady; you can't even manage to be an ordinary girl!" Although I know you have always been unkempt and your behavior is rude, I never expected you to be this slovenly! Don't even talk about being a lady; you can't even manage to be an ordinary girl!"

I awkwardly smiled and said: "I am moving."

Ji Youran leisurely fanned herself with a book as thick as a brick and said nonchalantly, "Are you worried that your 'Imperial Highness' will be ridiculed by others?"

It seems that I didn't eat much yesterday

I cautiously approached Huang Mingxi

I do not know how much time has passed, but when I woke up again, my head no longer felt heavy. Before me was a snow-white ceiling, a snow-white quilt, and a tall storage shelf. The shelf was lined with many labeled medicine bottles, indicating that this should be the infirmary

Am I merely a test subject to him

Puff ... ...

The driver immediately exclaimed, "What? Miss Chaye is moving? Does that mean I won't be able to see Miss Chaye anymore?"

I stared blankly at Ji Youran, who was engrossed in reading, feeling both lost and surprised

When I once again became aware of the world outside, I found myself lying on a soft, fluffy bed

He gazed at Liuli gently, smiling as he said, "Liuli, you are truly adorable today"

Ji Youran also joked with Liuli, and the three of them standing together looked particularly harmonious. The warm atmosphere was something I simply could not penetrate

Huang Mingxi always manages to calm me down quickly

A maddening voice echoed in my mind, causing my head to throb with pain

I looked up and saw, huh, the driver uncle? Wasn't he dismissed by Ji Youran?

Huang Mingxi has already done enough for me

"Yikes! Don't be so disgusting!" Liuli exaggeratedly shivered, then immediately put on a serious expression, "Although I really dislike you being by Lord Huang's side, you should still find a way to return to the Rose Castle!"

Huang Mingxi was completely unconcerned with the words of the silver-haired youth; he gently stroked my hair and softly asked, "Are you feeling better?"

At that moment, I couldn't help but greedily think: "Perhaps after the temple fair is over, the previous hurts, barriers, and sadness will all dissipate, and Huang Mingxi and I can still be close friends..."

"Liuli?" I called her name in confusion

Uh... I awkwardly tugged at my teddy bear pajamas

His facial features are extremely stern, with angles as sharp as if chiseled by a knife. His eyes are deep and piercing, and he exudes an aura of danger.

I hesitated as I caressed the soft skirt, filled with self-doubt

However, I have already taken the initiative to run over and catch that palm-sized demon-suppressing crystal

I grabbed my messy hair, not even wearing slippers, and walked barefoot to the door, yawning as I opened it.

That action, that expression, that tone, truly appears to be exceptionally well-behaved in every regard

Do not engage!" Huang Mingxi urgently intervened.

I wiped the drool from the corner of my mouth, turned over, and ignored it

Alas! My mood is very low! My mind is in a chaotic state! I might as well go home and take a nap!

No ... ...

I buried my head under the pillow and endured for quite a while, but finally, I could no longer bear it and got up from the bed

Ji Youran, who has never been on the same wavelength as me, raised an eyebrow and said: "This is prepared for you by the host"

I paused in the act of lifting the bowl, a bitter anguish overwhelming my heart

Hehe..." Ji Youran said weakly, "Hunters are not as powerful as he claims. The hunters capable of killing a bloodline prince have long since ceased to exist in this world. And you, who have evolved into a hunter only after consuming 'Yulinglong', are the only one who poses a threat to the master's life. Rather than allowing you to slowly become a hunter in a place where I cannot see you, it would be better for you to live with the master. The master is gentle and kind, and after spending such a long time together, you surely cannot harm him with a clear conscience, can you?"

I could only frown and bombard Ji Youran, who had not yet left, saying: "Aren't you going to stop your sister? You clearly dislike me being with Huang Mingxi."

"The food is here!" The door of the infirmary was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Liuli walked in carrying a large food box.

A person stood at the door of the room and said, "Let's go, I will take you to where you are staying"

The sleepyheads, who were unwilling to visit, finally began to burrow into my mind one by one. I raised a sweet smile, moving my lips, eager to say: "Huang Mingxi, is that you? Please don't go, stay with me a little longer."

"Tea Night, the master only learned the truth later; he has never done anything to wrong you." Ji Youran took a breath and said earnestly, "I ask you, do not do anything to harm the master."

Upon receiving the praise from Emperor Mingxi, Liuli's face immediately turned a rosy red, and she revealed a shy smile, looking exceedingly adorable

The silver-haired youth raised an eyebrow, casting a glance at me that was both smiling and enigmatic, before glancing at Ji Youran and Huang Mingxi, who appeared to be on high alert.

It is precisely because I appear to be perfectly normal now that I have been fervently hoping to restore the friendship between Huang Mingxi and myself

She placed the food box directly on the bed and said with deep sympathy: "Chaye, have you done something wrong to anger His Majesty? You are so weak right now, you cannot be 'free-range' yet! You should quickly repent to His Majesty and strive to return to the Rose Castle!"

I clumsily caught the clothes thrown over by Liu Li, and the texture in my hands was extremely soft, indicating a high-quality fabric just by touch

The orange lanterns wind down from the distant mountain peak, and the stone steps leading up the mountain are crowded with people coming and going, creating a lively atmosphere

Huang Mingxi and I walked upward along the flow of people, and neither of us spoke.

However, this brief encounter has been sufficient to evoke forgotten memories in me

A tear quietly flowed out, slowly sliding down the cheek, and finally dropping onto the collar, creating a round water stain.

Huang Mingxi released the grip on my arm, his expression serious

However, I truly feel so sad that it seems as if my heart is about to break

After chatting with the two people for a while, Liuli turned around and gave me a glance.

Wuwu! I do not want to kill! I do not want to! Huang Mingxi, save me! My ears are filled with terrifying incantations, and I struggle in despair.

Ji Youran quietly looked at me for a while, making me wonder if there was something stuck to my face. It was not until I awkwardly wiped my mouth that he said meaningfully, "Perhaps we could give it a try..."

After leaving the Rose Castle, getting close to the Emperor Mingxi once again made me extremely nervous

As the two of them saw that I had finally opened the door, the driver who had been knocking immediately withdrew his hand and stood straight, even secretly making a face to greet me. The one standing at the door with hands on her hips, Liuli, unceremoniously pushed past me and walked straight into the room, complaining as she walked: "Are you even a girl? It's this late and you're still sleeping! And your taste is so childish! Wearing pajamas with teddy bears on them! And that messy hair of yours, are you trying to imitate a bird's nest?"

No! I screamed in despair

However, no matter how reluctant I was, the luggage was limited, and I eventually finished packing.

Hearing a little girl with a loli appearance say that I am weak, I truly felt a mix of amusement and exasperation. Although her words were as unrelenting as ever, each sentence was imbued with concern, filling my heart with deep emotion

Hahaha, what a delusion! Hunters and Bloodlines are destined enemies, and no one can overcome the hatred etched in their very bones! And the hunter who consumes the Jade Linglong is destined to be the mortal enemy of the Bloodline Prince!" The silver-haired youth laughed arrogantly, "So you are actually a prince of the Bloodline clan, how effortlessly it has come to me! For many years, we have traveled the world seeking your trace, and who would have thought! Hahaha!

I felt as if I were being lifted by someone, hurriedly rushing towards a certain place

Well, I know that I do not appear elegant at all, let alone possess any lady-like qualities, but it is truly quite embarrassing to be evaluated in this way for the first time

Farewell, Rose Castle

It is said that this prayer temple was once merely an octagonal pavilion, where nearly everyone who made a wish inside the pavilion had their wishes fulfilled. Over time, it came to be known as the "Prayer Temple" by the citizens, attracting many people each year to make their wishes.

I was focused on filling my stomach and did not hear clearly what she was saying

At least I still have this lovely "little friend" Liuli, don't I

Liu Li fearfully grabbed Ji Youran's sleeve and trembled as she asked, "Brother, where are we?"

A glimmer seemed to pass through Ji Youran's eyes as he said with a half-smile, "I hope you remember what you have said, and do not go back on your word when the time comes"

Do not touch her with your dirty hands! Emperor Mingxi, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up and pulled me aside as soon as the silver-haired young man's hand touched my forehead.

The car started, and I turned my head to look out the window.

Ji Youran and Liu Li stopped chatting as I approached, and both quietly looked at me

My mood suddenly became very complicated.

The person standing in front is wearing a white shirt and plaid cropped pants, with a pair of casual shoes featuring a plaid pattern on his feet. His soft black hair is neatly styled against his forehead, and his handsome features give him a charming appearance

No wonder there are indelible marks on Emperor Mingxi's wrist. It turns out that it's because I am a hunter. Even though the healing ability of the bloodline is powerful, the scars inflicted on the bloodline by the hunter are difficult to eliminate. No wonder Ji Youran showed hostility towards me, and I "went mad" when Emperor Mingxi extracted "samples" from me, because I instinctively felt the sense of crisis from the "natural enemy". No wonder Emperor Mingxi suddenly drove me away. I couldn't understand why, if it was to guard against me, he still sent me to the bustling city center. It turns out that hunters can coexist peacefully with humans and not harm them. But hunters can easily harm the bloodline.

The car became quiet

Liuli is looking here in front, stopping there; I, along with Emperor Mingxi, also walk and stop with them.

Huang Mingxi! Huang Mingxi! Where are you! Come quickly and save me!

"Hmm..." My voice carried a hint of choking.

He glanced meaningfully at Huang Mingxi and said, "After all, it is quite inappropriate for a hunter to live with a blood descendant who is their natural enemy."

Oh, it's nothing. " Ji Youran stood up, seemingly about to leave, but after taking a few leisurely steps, he turned around again, a strange smile still on his face: "By the way, the reason I am here is because of the master's orders! "

Have I spent the past 17 years of my life in failure? Upon reflection, I indeed have not regarded myself as a delicate girl. Isn't there a popular term nowadays? It's called "tomboy"!

I feel restless and uneasy in my heart. Suddenly, some strange information is connected in my mind. I couldn't help but ask, "Who are the blood descendants you mentioned? You said I am a hunter, but what is a hunter?"

Ah? I held the chopsticks, feeling perplexed.

Hi! Miss Cha, where are you headed? Before I could even settle in, the driver warmly greeted me.

I was so hungry that I fainted, leaving me severely weakened, with my limbs feeling limp and my mind in a blank state. After eating, all I wanted to do was sleep. This caused my class supervisor, Ji Youran, to have a strong dislike for me, so he simply chose to ignore me and told me to go home and rest for two days

Bang!

In front, Liuli and Ji Youran, who were leading the way, were having a great time, and I was also immersed in my own thoughts, thus I did not notice the changes around me

The dreamlike fireflies resemble terrifying smiling faces mocking my foolish fantasies

And I, however, am unusually calm.

A faint sound of wind chimes suddenly came from the air, gradually getting closer.

Thank you, Liuli! I quickly sat up, moved the food box in front of me, and as I opened the lid of the box, a large array of dishes immediately appeared before me. I looked at Liuli with gratitude, "You are truly my little angel"

One end of the crystal is in my palm, while the end with the blade has penetrated the chest of Emperor Mingxi.

A loud crashing sound entered my ears. At the moment of losing consciousness, I even had the leisure to self-mockingly say, "Oh dear, that was quite a hard hit..."

Brother! The face of Liuli quickly turned into a red apple, and after she said "I'm ignoring you" she covered her face and ran away.

At this moment, should I resolutely resist and reject Huang Mingxi's "good intentions," and leave gracefully?

Ji Youran cast a sidelong glance at me and said unabashedly, "Just be grateful to me."

My eyes were almost blinded by the water flowing down! I reached out to wipe the water from my face, and the first thing that appeared before me was Liuli's face, filled with the emotion of "disappointment in unfulfilled potential," along with the cup she used to "commit the act."

The temple fair in this city is held once a year, covering the entire area of the suburban park, and usually takes place on a midsummer night. It is said that there are four entrances to the fair, located in the east, south, west, and north. Walking slowly up the gentle stone steps, it takes two to three hours to reach the blessing temple at the summit.

Alright, let the 'guidance' begin! Catch this!

Shut up! If you make noise again, don't come tomorrow.

Ji Youran sat down in the front passenger seat leisurely, while I opened the car's trunk and stuffed the luggage in, then sat in the back seat of the sedan.

Huang Mingxi gradually released the hand that was embracing me and slowly fell to the ground. The blade, stained with green blood, also withdrew from Huang Mingxi's chest

It sounds as if Huang Mingxi will definitely have a "request" from me.

I stood in front of the window on the attic for the last time.

The steps leading up the mountain extend out into a sizable flat area every few levels, and by this time, the flat area is already filled with various stalls.

One end of the crystal has grown a thin, sharp blade as thin as a cicada's wing, transparent, clear, and sparkling with a cold light.

Liuli extended her arm and pointed at me, commanding in an unrefusable tone: "Tomorrow night! See you at the entrance of the temple fair!"

Tea night! Cheer up a bit! Emperor Mingxi's voice came from afar, as distant as several centuries away.

The Emperor Mingxi still gently strokes my hair, his smile is so lovely, more precious than the most beautiful diamond in the world, but his smile is also so pale, revealing a hint of fragility that fills me with fear.

Remember, you are a noble swan. Stretch your neck, straighten your back, smile, and walk with light and graceful steps, keeping to a straight line...

Gorgeous patterns entwine on the surface of the crystal. As I hold the Demon-Subduing Crystal, strange runes suddenly appear in my mind, accompanied by a faint chanting in my ears.

So I yawned countless times in a row and stumbled towards the bed in a daze.

She urged outside the door, "Hurry up and change! I still need to help you with your hair."

First, there was a face, followed by long silver hair cascading down to the waist, then a tall figure, and finally, a silver-haired youth wearing a hood appeared before us

At this moment, his face was covered in sweat beads, extremely pale, and appeared to be enduring some invisible pain. The person behind him, Liuli, had long fainted. As for Emperor Mingxi, who was closest to me, he didn't seem to have any issues. He neither looked at me nor the silver-haired youth. He seemed to be contemplating something.

I numbly released my hands, allowing the demon-slaying crystal to fall onto the hard ground, shattering into countless pieces

Ah, is this the reason? So Ji Youran said that I should remember the kindness of Huang Mingxi towards me

I scoffed: "The food was brought by Liu Li, why should I thank you!"

Liu Li kept reminding me behind my back.

My attention had already been focused on the boy not far away after Liuli called out the name of Huang Mingxi

I did not identify the root of the problem

I rubbed my eyes in a daze, unconsciously repeating: "Yesterday? Now?"

What? Did Emperor Mingxi order Ji Youran to take care of me?

Left foot, right foot, do not stagger your steps... Ah! Your Excellency! The glass-like figure behind me suddenly raised her voice and screamed, startling me to the point where I almost twisted my ankle

"Brother! Why don't you say something about her!" Seeing that I was completely unresponsive, Liu Li stomped her foot in frustration and turned to criticize Ji Youran, "After all, she is your descendant. If she continues like this and is seen by other nobles, they will mock you!"

I suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed next to Emperor Mingxi.

The sound of rustling

I watched her leave and return with bleary eyes, my mind in a state of emptiness

I finally mustered the courage: "You ... ... Hello, long time no see ... ... "

When Mr. Driver dropped me and Liuli off at the entrance of the temple fair, I had already been successfully "packaged" into a girl who looked very ladylike

I am truly confused; how could anyone run as fast as a car? What kind of speed must one reach to generate this wind that makes my hair want to fly away?

However, I still cannot refuse Emperor Mingxi, because I have a premonition that if I refuse him here, I will truly have no further connection with him.

It is the voice of Ji Youran, not Huang Mingxi

Ji Youran was clearly very impatient to be summoned to "greet" me; he curled his lip and turned to walk downstairs.

"Lord Huang! Brother!" Liuli joyfully flitted towards the two like a fledgling bird.

"Class is about to start, what are you doing standing at the door?" Suddenly, a sharp knock struck her head, and Ji Youran leisurely walked into the classroom with her lesson plan.

The initially tense mood gradually became more relaxed as time went by

The silver-haired young man laughed heartily with relief

What are you trying? I'm full of question marks.

Am I having a nightmare? Why is Ji Youran by my side when I wake up? Shouldn't it be Huang Mingxi?

After two consecutive nights without sleep, I finally fell ill as expected.

I watched Ji Youran's figure depart, with questions in my heart arising one after another

"Tea at night! Do not listen to his nonsense!" Suddenly, Ji Youran, who had been silent all along, spoke up

I hesitated for a moment, but the desire to reconcile with Emperor Mingxi ultimately overcame my inner doubts

No... I did not dare to move at all, fearing that I might inadvertently cause a second injury to Emperor Mingxi.

Upon this reflection, my stomach immediately began to rebel, rumbling incessantly.

I curled my lip and said: "A gentleman's word is hard to retract, even with four horses."

Hello... I had not yet had the chance to ask what was going on when the young girl had already dashed away with great determination

Bang bang bang bang

The owner of this voice exudes a pleasant fragrance of roses, and his voice is truly so gentle that it has made my dizzy head feel considerably more at ease

"Stop right there!" A small hand grabbed my pajamas, and when I turned around, I saw Liuli's brows furrowed so tightly that they seemed ready to crush a mosquito. "Don't tell me you slept from yesterday until now?"

The first night leaving the Rose Castle, I might have trouble sleeping.

Actually, you don't have to worry about me. As long as you say a word, I will leave on my own and never appear in front of you again.

Classmate Ji Liuli is standing at the door with her hands on her hips, resembling a teapot. The driver, whom she had seen just a couple of days ago, is standing respectfully to the side, one hand raised high, indicating that he is about to continue knocking on the door

If it weren't for a alarm clock that had already been set in the bedroom, I think I would definitely be late.

The clear and crisp sound of glass dolls kept coming.

I was merely expelled from the Rose Castle; at least I can continue my studies at the Rose Academy

I don't know why, but my already dizzy head seems to have become even dizzier.

What are you shaking your head for?Liuli came over and rubbed my head, feeling extremely impatient. "Don't just ignore other people's advice!"

I carefully unfolded it and found that it was a fitted white pleated dress. However, the dress was covered with a layer of translucent chiffon, adding a touch of "ethereal" charm to it.

The flowers that have been blooming fervently since the first day I moved in seem to have never withered, each day vibrant and beautiful, exuding a refreshing fragrance. Yet I have fallen from a girl seeking help, homeless, to a girl who has been evicted and is homeless.

Ji Youran also stood in front of Liu Li in a protective manner

Thus, during the lengthy period of "dressing up," Liuli and I became as busy as spinning tops.

What are you still dawdling for? Hurry up and change your clothes! The temple fair is about to start!" Liu Li impatiently pushed me into the bathroom and also closed the bathroom door.

Why! Ji Youran! Why do you want to hypnotize me! To make me go find Huang Mingxi! Doesn't he know that I could cause harm to Huang Mingxi?

Standing still, my gaze unexpectedly met that of Emperor Mingxi. In that instant, it was as if the spring thunder awakened all things, causing flowers to bloom everywhere, and even the air became fresh. Both Emperor Mingxi and I were momentarily taken aback.

Bang bang bang

Tie up the hair, groom the eyebrows, take care of the face, and undergo urgent training in manners and speech

It was still Huang Mingxi who grasped my arm, and only then did I awaken from my own thoughts

"Tea, you really seem to be in a daze. Don't you all meet in the classroom every day?" Liuli quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "By the way, I heard that this year's temple fair has added many fun stalls! Let's go take a look!"

Who knows that after this sleep, it lasted until the evening of the next day

A voice said with concern: "You have only been out of my sight for one day, and you have already put yourself through this. I really don't know what to do with you..."

Having finished speaking, he closed the book in his hand and looked at me expressionlessly: "I have never seen someone as foolish as you... The test results show hypoglycemia and malnutrition. Do you realize you fainted from hunger?"

Haha! You have finally become a qualified hunter!

The sound of paper rustling suddenly reached my ears, and I instinctively turned my head to see Ji Youran sitting by the hospital bed, reading a book

A splash of cold water was thrown onto my face, and I jolted awake instantly.

Liuli opened the box and took out a piece of clothing, tossing it to me: "Today, you will wear this to attend the temple fair."

The air before us began to distort, and soon it started to ripple like the surface of water disturbed by waves.

"Tea night, good child, it is not yours... wrong..."

Splash

The wooden stairs of the attic suddenly echoed with rhythmic footsteps, causing my heart to race wildly

I wish I could be faster, so that I could leave Huang Mingxi as soon as possible. This attic, filled with the scent of roses, serves as a constant reminder of the nightmare that is the fact of being "abandoned." Moreover, the thought of Huang Mingxi seeing me leave in such a disheveled state is something I cannot even bear to imagine; it feels like it would be extremely, extremely embarrassing.

The bustling crowd has long since disappeared, and beneath our feet lies a vast expanse of flat land. When I glance back, I see an endless stretch of flat ground—where have the steps leading up the mountain gone?

In a state of confusion, it seems that there is a sound of knocking at the door.

The box is white, and the front is adorned with antique-style patterns, giving it a very high-end appearance

It is fortunate that I did not later desire the feeling of "going mad," allowing me to wander through the crowd with a clear conscience

However, the campus is enveloped in tranquility, and the students in the classroom are all engrossed in their studies, with not a single person standing up to mock me, nor anyone coming over to comfort me

So many people witnessed my rejection by Emperor Mingxi last night, and I am already prepared to face the rumors and gossip

He seems to be in a very good mood

I lowered my head and obediently walked to the seat next to Huang Mingxi, sat down honestly, took out my books, placed my backpack properly, and waited for Ji Youran to start the class

A chilling and eerie atmosphere began to spread through the air

I originally intended to sneak a glance at Huang Mingxi during class to see how he was feeling. If he seemed to be in a good mood, I wanted to ask him: "Huang Mingxi, why are you doing this? If you are afraid that I might harm others, you should have imprisoned me and locked me in the laboratory, right? You would rather drive me to the bustling city center than let me stay in the Rose Castle with just you and Ji Youran. Is it because you truly dislike me?"

"Are you awake?" he asked without raising his head, "Are you feeling better? If you are feeling better, then go back and rest."

I am of the bloodline, while Huang Mingxi is human. Is there not a saying that goes, "Those who are not of my kind must have different hearts"? Establishing friendship across races is not so easily achieved, is it?

Sitting in the passenger seat, Ji Youran coldly interrupted the driver's speech.

So where should I go from here

Tea Night

This dress should look very nice when worn, but I rarely wear dresses, especially short ones, and this sweet style is completely at odds with my personality. Would I look strange wearing it?

I finally fell asleep just before dawn, and with a heavy head, I took a thirty-minute bus ride to arrive at the entrance of Rose College

Mother, would you feel a sense of comfort if your daughter were to become a true lady

"Tea Night! I know you are at home, quickly come and open the door for me!"

The person holding me walked very quickly, and I could even hear the whistling sound of the wind by my ear

Moreover, there is a certain aura of "kindred" about him

I am being looked down upon by Liuli from head to toe

Liuli could no longer endure it, and she ran away with a "deng deng deng" sound. After a short while, she returned with the same "deng deng deng" sound.

Isn't it his wish for me to leave here? Why then is he preparing another place for me to stay?

The echoes in my mind overlap one after another, ultimately converging into a buzzing sensation that nearly overwhelms me with dizziness

Suddenly, a blur appeared before my eyes, and as I drowsily let my thoughts wander aimlessly, I weakly allowed my head to crash onto the table.

Everyone acted as if nothing had happened

Is that action calling me to walk over there

Tea

Seeing my surprised expression, he continued in a profound manner: "After you fainted, it was the master who carried you here, and the food was also sent to you at the master's request. Tea Ye, remember the master's kindness towards you; if one day he needs you to do something for him, it is best not to refuse him"

Ah? Am I fainting from hunger

It is impossible for me to go to my mother's friend's place, and I cannot even go to places where people live. Who knows if I might "go crazy" and end up hurting those around me

The headache is excruciating, and my limbs are gradually slipping out of my control

"Why must the bloodline and the hunters inevitably become enemies?" I asked once the headache had eased a little.

Due to the striking appearances of the two individuals, many girls in the vicinity were already watching. However, because of Ji Youran's icy demeanor, which constantly radiated an aura of coldness, no girl dared to approach and initiate a conversation.

The silver-haired youth engaged in a fierce battle in the orange grove on the mountaintop and Ji Youran... almost killed my Ji Youran... ... ... ... Ji Youran, who lured me to the Rose Castle to seek Huang Mingxi...

Because even the slightest furrow of your brow makes me feel uneasy. Why do I care so much about your feelings?

The reason I became a "Hunter" is all thanks to the silver-haired youth. He fed me a bead called "Jade Linglong," which is the most precious treasure of the Bloodline clan. When a member of the Bloodline consumes this treasure, they can be resurrected, but when a human consumes it, they become a Hunter—the natural enemy of the Bloodline.

I feel that he looks somewhat familiar

The setting sun casts its glow over the endless rose fields, tinting the horizon a vibrant red

Master

A dreamless sleep

Could it be Huang Mingxi? I thought about it with both anticipation and resistance, yet my body did not make any movement

What exactly went wrong, and why has everyone started to behave abnormally?

A pale face seems to tear through space, crossing time and space from the other side of the ripples, slowly emerging.

Farewell, Emperor Mingxi

As we walked along, we did not encounter Huang Mingxi. Ji Youran and I walked in silence, and soon we arrived at the road outside.

Without seeking my opinion, he directly moved in front of me and placed his cold fingers on my forehead

After I finished speaking, I fell into an awkward silence. Throughout, Huang Mingxi did not pay any attention to me

No! Upon realizing that the problem might lie with the demon-slaying crystal, I immediately wanted to throw it away, but the crystal seemed to have taken root, firmly sticking to my palm, making it impossible to discard.

As she rushed to within three steps of Emperor Mingxi, she suddenly came to a halt, then lifted her skirt and performed a curtsy. With a sweet smile, she said, "Your Excellency, you are still as noble as ever today"

I do not know why, but I wholeheartedly believe every word spoken by this silver-haired youth. However, my reason tells me that if I continue to listen, perhaps some things in my heart will collapse, such as friendship

Thinking in this way, my mood has become much lighter

I let out a silly laugh, completely unbothered by Liuli's abrupt actions, and began to feast heartily

"He is merely a bloodline count, not enough to deceive a hunter evolved from 'Yulinglong'." The silver-haired youth leisurely glanced at Ji Youran and said, "Lady Chaye, it seems that guidance for you is imperative, as you cannot even recognize a bloodline. Among the three individuals beside you, one is a bloodline count, one is a young bloodline, and the other, hm, his identity is currently indiscernible, but he must have a significant background; however, there is no doubt that he is also a bloodline. As for the hunter, he is the natural enemy of the bloodline, the only existence in this world capable of killing a bloodline. Chaye, as long as you pass this 'guidance', you will become a true hunter. Before that, let me help you unravel the 'hypnosis' that the bloodline has placed upon you."

When I first arrived at the Rose Castle, I found the rose garden absurdly large, but by the time I left, I was wondering why it wasn't a bit larger.

Forcing a human to befriend a bloodline descendant is truly asking too much, isn't it? I also wonder if I can be considered a complete bloodline descendant now.

Ji Youran tenderly protected Liuli, preventing her from being bumped into by others, while Huang Mingxi silently walked behind them. Unbeknownst to us, the two of us walked side by side.

Huang Mingxi as well! Clearly, you do not want to see me, do you? Why do you still take care of me in every way?

My heart has also shattered into thousands upon thousands of pieces

Ji Youran thought that I did not believe him. He shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, saying: "Believe it or not. Anyway, it is just an ordinary single apartment, located in the city center, with direct buses to the school, and very convenient for travel. The owner is really too special for you; I truly do not understand what merits you possess that attract the owner."

Bloodline! My heart skipped a beat! I arrived at the most likely answer

There are some things that cannot be clearly explained to Liu Li, but I am still very grateful to her

Although Ji Youran's words were peculiar, I did not think too much about it. I declared emphatically, as if taking an oath: "Of course! As long as Huang Mingxi speaks, I will do anything for him."

I don't even know if I really said those words; in any case, I fell asleep in a daze

I suddenly feel that this is also quite good

I turned around with a mix of disappointment and relief, looking in surprise at Ji Youran, who was dressed in a butler's outfit: "Where do you live?"

This is also good; Huang Mingxi's mood should improve a bit.

Yes, I am absolutely unwilling to harm Huang Mingxi

At the entrance of the temple fair, two individuals stand one in front of the other beside the large pillar

My blood, however, turned icy cold in an instant, almost freezing

As for the person behind, I have mercilessly disregarded them.

Ji Youran, feeling too lazy to elaborate, elongated her voice as she walked out the door and casually remarked, "That's good"

The silver-haired youth impatiently said: "How would I know why! This antagonistic relationship has existed for a long time! You just need to follow the mission passed down in your blood!"

The door was pushed open once more, and a small, rosy face peeked out from behind it. "Hey! I have created a perfect opportunity for you to apologize! You must make amends with His Majesty!"

The world suddenly fell silent, and I opened my tightly shut eyes to find myself in the warm embrace of Huang Mingxi, with my hands firmly gripping a demon-exorcising crystal
