Chapter Twenty-Three: The Cruel Bloodline
There was an eerie atmosphere in the air.
Jue touched his lips with his fingertips in disbelief, and his purple-gold eyes shook uneasily: Was he kissed by Jin Qiang?
Jin was completely petrified in place, covering his mouth with his hand, and staring at Jue in front of him with his stunned blue eyes.
The space stopped as if the picture was suspended, and the time that was originally fleeting for the blood clan became like a second for ten thousand years, and the two blood men in the demon research room were now extremely difficult, and no one could speak.
"I'll tell Han Qingluo the news!" Jin panicked and opened one leg and wanted to get out of the door, he was about to die of shame, and he actually attacked Lord Jue.
"Don't go!" Jue grabs Kim who wants to escape. Jin stiffened, only to hear the voice behind him that he was trying to steady: "She has to go to teach tomorrow, it's so late, don't bother her." ”
Kim turned around: "It's okay, I'll go to her tomorrow." ”
Jue turned his head and said calmly, "You just study your magic, she is also very busy over there." ”
"That'...... Then please pass it on to Master Jue for me, I really want to share the joy of this success with her! Kim has eased his emotions a bit.
Jue snorted lightly.
For a moment there was an awkward silence again.
……
"I was rude just now." Kim buried his head low and whispered.
Jue pretended to walk to the bookshelf, picked out a book, and shook it at Jin with a smile: "This book is very good-looking, I borrowed it too!" Kim thought he hadn't heard, but was a little glad and nodded hurriedly.
"Feel free to come to me if you need it!"
"If Lord Jue doesn't understand the books, you can come to me at any time!"
……
Silence again.
"Then I'll go back." Jue picked up two thick books and stepped out the door quickly without looking back.
It wasn't until there was no Jue outside the door that Jin relaxed all over, leaned on the workbench, and his thoughts drifted: This is my first kiss...... But leave it to those who like it...... Now it is dedicated to Lord Jue by mistake.
He has been obsessed with magic and all kinds of research for a hundred years, and he has not met anything he likes, and now he finally has it, but his most precious first kiss was lost by himself, and he has a great sense of guilt in his heart. His face was full of disappointment, and he muttered in a low voice: "Why isn't it you who kissed ......?"
On the other side, Jue hurried back to his room with the book in his arms, still thinking about the previous exciting scene, shook his head, dispelled this terrible memory, picked up the human anatomy book borrowed from Jin and leaned against the head of the bed to look at it.
His eyes wandered over every note and diagram on the page, and the more he looked at it, the more irritable he became, as if he couldn't even calm down when he was reading, so he simply closed the book, put it on the pillow at will, folded his arms and pondered for a moment, glanced at the book again, and then stuffed it under the pillow. This time it seems to be satisfied.
The appearance of the dawn heralds the end of the long night.
Jue looked at the white line of fish in the sky outside the window, closed his eyes, consumed a little strength in the middle of the night, and needed to rest for a while to recover slowly, gently raising his hand, the room instantly became dim, and the curtain closed quickly under his domination.
His hands folded and rested safely on his chest and abdomen, his slight breathing and slow heartbeat stopped, and his pale complexion made Jue look like a dead corpse now.
The Bloods still breathe and have an extremely slow heartbeat when they move, and because they beat so slowly that they don't have the same as if they don't, they only stop all activity when they enter rest and dormancy.
——
The first ray of vision in the morning gently woke up Han Qingluo, she yawned, at this time there was a knock on the door, she got out of bed and opened the door, breakfast was placed at the door, poked her head out to see, there was no figure, and then looked at Jue's door, which was still closed.
Bending down to pick up the breakfast, seeing that the bread on the plate was missing a corner, without thinking much, Han Qingluo turned around and closed the door with his heels, pulled a chair and sat down by the window, eating breakfast while looking at the natural beauty outside in the bright weather, the large oak forest, which made her yearn for it, but she could see it but couldn't touch it, and her freedom was limited to the castle.
It's daylight, there's nothing important, and all the blood clans are staying in their rooms, so now that the outside of the castle is empty, Han Qingluo feels lonely.
Since she had set a rule yesterday to check the progress of the blood clan's practice after three days, there was nothing to do for the next two days, and she could take this opportunity to be lazy and do what she wanted to do.
The decline was temporary, she began to cheer up after eating, and continued her intensive training, now this body has a basic physique, no longer weak, and her physical strength and lung capacity have also made a qualitative leap. Taking advantage of the good weather, she decided to go for a run on the lawn outside.
On the lawn –
After tying up the corners of her skirt and cuffs, Han Qingluo slowly hid around the lawn and hid in the huge shadow of the castle, and soon dense sweat seeped out of each of her pores, gathering more and more, and the large pieces slid down her skin, wetting her underwear.
Stopping to wipe the sweat on his body with a clean cloth, Han Qingluo wanted to rest for a while, leaned against the wall, stared at the place where yin and yang converged in a daze, and gradually became sleepy, planning to close his eyes and recuperate.
"Ahh Suddenly, a sharp female scream pierced the silence of the castle, scaring Han Qingluo's sleepiness away, and she quickly opened her eyes and looked around.
"Ah...... Ah......h
Not far away, the black-robed bloods entered through the city gate under the scorching sun. Han Qingluo stood up and raised his hand in front of his forehead, squinting his eyes to see the person who came.
Isn't that the two Yukyufu brothers?
Han Qingluo recognized it at a glance, their bloodline children were pushing cage carts, all covered with black cloth. The cage that made the sound was lifted open by a bloodbreed and stabbed into it with an iron sword, and there was no sound in an instant.
Although it was a scorching summer, Han Qingluo felt a chill down her spine, she was sure that the cages were full of big people. With the bloody blood's cruel movements, blood flowed from under the hollowed-out cage cart, leaving shocking red marks along the way......
Han Qingluo turned his back and didn't dare to look at it again. Yukyufer noticed her, too, and instead of stopping, they urged the children to hurry up and walk towards the most remote building of the castle.
She couldn't help but look in the direction where they were going, it was a place she had never set foot in, and there was a gloomy coldness at the entrance, she thought that it must be the place where those living people were held, and suddenly the painful and hideous faces of those people appeared in her mind, as if the screams were right next to her ears...... Han Qingluo didn't dare to think about it anymore, she didn't want to stay outside the castle for a moment, and hurriedly trotted back to the dormitory.
In the Concentration -
Yuke complained to his brother Yuf: "Why does the boss want us to arrest some strong men, aren't those women and children bad?" As he spoke, he spat on the ground, frightening the humans who had just been captured in the huge cage.
"My lord, please let us go!" A woman pleaded.
"My lord, let us go!"
"Please!"
……
Listening to this noisy cry for mercy, Yuke kicked the wooden post impatiently: "Shut up, or I will eat you directly!" Now he was upset, and the strong men ordered by the boss had not caught a few, but a bunch of old and weak women and children.
"Don't complain, didn't you catch a few strong ones, although you wasted some strength, at least you made a difference!" Yufu said as he looked at another cage, where a dozen men were silent, either wandering swordsmen or fugitive wanted criminals.
Those women and children were completely captured by Yuke on a temporary basis, and one was killed when he entered the city gate, and happened to be seen by Han Qingluo, Yufu was a little worried that she would mention it to the boss at night, and persuaded her brother to let those old and weak women and children go.
"I'm worried about the lack of blood to eat, I have to make up for it." Yuke did not listen to the persuasion, but said that he pulled a woman out of the cage, and bit down on the neck, the woman's throat made a "snort" guttural sound, her expression was hideous, and the blood continued to flow out of her neck during the struggle, and after being sucked dry, she was silently discarded on the dry grass sprinkled with blood, and her eyes were wide open.
The human beings in the cage were afraid and afraid to make a sound, for fear that he would be the next to die.
Yuke wanted to grab one more and give it to his brother to taste, but Yufu stopped him, he shook his head: "I don't want to suck it now, go back, it's too hot here!" Yuke then threw back the poor girl he had clutched, and the girl whimpered and ran back into her grandmother's arms.
"Poor little one, tsk." Yuke laughed dismissively.
After stepping out of the concentration with Yuf, Yuke instructed the bloodies to take care of the blood, wipe the remaining blood from the corners of his mouth, and thought that he would be discovered by the boss, and he would inevitably be scolded.
Han Qingluo, who returned to the room on the other side, had been uneasy, thinking that he had overcome and become accustomed to the cruelty of the blood clan, but as a human being, he still couldn't bear to see his kind of cruelty in this way.
Dad's teachings echoed in her mind over and over again, and she thought that if she was alone, it would be absolutely impossible to save those poor and innocent people without incident, so she could only ask for help from the most authoritative person in the whole castle - negotiate with Jue, use both soft and hard, and see if he agrees!
After making up her mind, for now, as long as she waits for nightfall, she will go to Jue, and if she drags on too long, those people may not even see the sunshine tomorrow.
——
"Knock knock!" As soon as it was dark, Han Qingluo knocked on Jue's door like a desperate urge.
The sound of rapid knocking came to the innermost part of the room, and Jue, who had a peaceful face on the bed, slowly opened his eyes.
The door opened, "What's the matter?" Jue propped up the door frame, and only opened a full-width crack in the door.
"Big deal, urgent matter!" Han Qingluo's expression was serious.
Jue lowered her eyes and thought about it, then opened the door wide open to let her in, and the dim room was a little brighter after Jue lit the candlestick.
"Can you let those old and weak women and children go!" Han Qingluo went straight to the point.
"What about the conditions?" Jue's eyebrows are lightly raised.
"For you to be an attendant!"
Jue lowered her eyes, and the fingers on the other overlapping arm rubbed against each other, as if to tell her that this condition was not tempting enough: "You were my retinue before. ”
"As long as you release people, I am willing to do whatever you want me to do!"
Jue's eyes, which had been bored, suddenly raised......
