"Now, Prince Burton, could you please enlighten me on your...?"
He pointed at the two of them, then at himself, and asked, "What do you want from me?"
"What priceless treasure could possibly be worth all this painstaking planning and scheming?"
She really wanted to know what was so tempting that they absolutely had to have it.
Burton, realizing he could no longer hide it, openly took on the role of the villain.
"Hahaha, Rose Queen, Rose Queen, you are indeed very clever."
"But you should know that the smarter a person is, the shorter their lifespan is."
This guy got so cocky that he completely forgot about Chiyu Yu standing next to him, and was already dreaming of the joy of success.
Seeking a troubled expression, he raised an eyebrow: "I don't quite understand."
"It's your problem if you don't understand. Just tell me the secret to your rapid advancement."
"Maybe if I'm in a good mood, I'll spare your life."
Burton was very confident that the Rose Queen was a sitting duck, waiting to be captured.
"Oh, so this is what you wanted~~~" The tone rose, as if suddenly realizing something.
This successfully piqued Burton's interest. "Unfortunately, I don't have any."
The ups and downs made Burton's heart pound, and he almost couldn't catch his breath.
"****, don't be too smug. I advise you to hand it over obediently."
"If you act rashly now, you'll only end up hurting yourself."
"Just tell me, and I'll make Ye Zhiyi forgive you."
Burton's face was contorted with rage, yet he still pretended to be a kind and benevolent person, coaxing Xunxun.
Xunmi was completely disgusted and almost threw up.
He clearly had a handsome face, but Burton ruined it terribly.
"Can't you understand human language? I don't have any of that nonsense."
He then changed the subject, saying, "I don't know who told you that I wouldn't mind a confrontation."
A thought flashed through Xunmi's mind in that instant: Burton must have said something to invite him this time.
Or perhaps Burton had his own plans from the beginning, but just hadn't made up his mind yet?
Regardless of the reason, it's undeniable that there really is a traitor in Rose Castle, and it's someone they know!
His eyes darkened, and he searched for the traitor he hated most.
Because she harbors an unbearable memory deep within her heart, one that is neither decayed nor renewed.
"Of course it is..." "Wait, why should I tell you? Don't try to trick me into telling you."
Burton realized what was happening in time and glared angrily at Xunmi.
Xunmi didn't care, and with a short flute in hand, he said, "Come and fight! Since you don't believe me, then I'll just have to beat you until you do."
Who the traitor is will eventually come out once she takes care of Burton.
As for Ye Zhiyi, the darkness in her eyes had deepened considerably.
The melodious flute music slowly rose and fell, with its ups and downs and a touch of joy.
It can instantly transform from a relaxing force into a sharp, piercing blow that strikes at the most vulnerable spot.
No one knew that the Rose Queen was not only a magician, but also a musician.
She combined the two to create a unique attack skill.
Qian Yuyou cast a protective barrier around Xunmi and then leaned against a nearby tree to watch.
Ye Zhiyi didn't make a move, not because she didn't want to, but because she simply couldn't.
Before I could figure out what was going on, a surge of desire welled up in my chest and took over my mind.
She wanted to suck blood, that warm, sticky red liquid.
I'm so hungry, so hungry, I really want to eat something.
The entire eye was covered in red, making it impossible to distinguish the eyeball from the pupil, which looked extremely frightening.
But she couldn't move at all; she could only stand firmly in place, as if she had been nailed to the spot.
While Ye Zhiyi was preoccupied with her own problems, Burton was also caught up in a fierce battle with Xunmi.
The search can't do anything to Burton in the short term, and Burton can't hurt the search either.
The situation quickly reached a stalemate, and it looked like it was going to escalate further.
A man in black robes suddenly appeared and attacked from behind.
Qian Yuyou instantly teleported to Xunmi's side, conjuring a long sword with shimmering silver light in his hand.
He swung the weapon at the attacker, successfully crushing the invisible force that had launched a sneak attack.
As soon as Qian Yuyou moved, the restraints on Ye Zhiyi's side loosened a little.
She broke free and joined Burton and Seeker in their struggle.
Searching carefully, the piccolo suddenly shifted its melody, playing a modern version of "Ambush from Ten Sides".
A powerful killing intent surged down, coalescing into a majestic dragon that coiled in the air, roaring, "Roar!"
The dragon that had been formed, which was being sought and controlled, pounced on Burton and Ye Zhiyi.
A powerful strike had a noticeable effect.
Burton and Ye Zhiyi were both severely injured, curled up on the ground, spitting blood.
Long fangs protruded, and fingernails grew uncontrollably.
Searching didn't help much either; blood rushed to his head, and he tried to swallow the metallic taste in his mouth, not wanting to show any weakness.
Qian Yuyou had already trampled the man in black under his feet. With a flick of his finger, a gust of wind blew off the man's hat.
The face that was revealed surprised everyone present.
Prince Burton, in particular, was completely dumbfounded, clearly never expecting it to be this person.
"How could it be you...cough cough." He managed to say it in one breath, then coughed incessantly.
"Kross." Xunmi's tone was calm; he had suspected it before, and now it was just being confirmed.
Klose lay on the ground, his face deathly pale, but his eyes were filled with madness.
"Hahaha, it failed again, it failed again, it failed."
He had been planning for over a thousand years, yet he failed.
"Why?" Xunmi's eyes were filled with complicated emotions; she didn't understand.
Cross said with resentment, "You ask me why? That's ridiculous."
"Why can you all live a good life, but my parents are treated as traitors who cannot be tolerated by the world?"
"They were just in love, simply because one of them was a hunter and the other a vampire."
"Saying that vampires and hunters will be friends forever is all lies, lies."
In the end, his parents were sent to the gallows and burned alive.
He hates vampires, and he also hates the Hunter's Guild.
If it weren't for them, he would have a very happy family.
Why hide and suffer humiliation before you've grown up?
"You're the child of a hunter and a vampire? How could that be!"
Ye Zhiyi suddenly raised her voice, making it sharp and piercing.
Vampires almost never have children; their lineage is passed down through transformation.
But now reality has slapped her in the face: hunters and vampires can have children.
Back then, she truly lost her child. "Ahhh... how could this happen?"
"Ghana, Ghana, Ghana," Ye Zhiyi called out a name, almost frantically.
Tears blurred her vision, and she felt as if she had returned to that time.
The gentle young man carefully cherished her, whispering in her ear about their future.
