Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 472 -472 Blood Clan Queen (1)

“Where did this one come from? Why is it so dirty?”

“Well, it’s been sent here already, no use complaining. Just lock it up for now.”

Click—

Bang—

Chuzheng felt as if her soul shook along with it.

Covered in grime, she lay on the ground, turning over to see the skylight above.

Light streamed in from above, making her eyes sore and a little… painful.

Chuzheng heard a sizzling sound, like something being grilled over fire.

Three seconds later.

Chuzheng quickly rolled to the side, the light moving off her, and the sizzling sound abruptly ceased.

Chuzheng, expressionless, sat up clutching her arm.

The burns on her arm looked as though they had been seared by fire.

What, what… kind of thing is this?

Her body?

Why does it seem like it’s being barbecued?

Is she on a grill?!

Chuzheng glanced at the nearby sunlight.

She pinched her fingertips together, slowly reaching out.

Her fingers intersected with the sunlight, casting a faint shadow on the ground…

“Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle…”

Chuzheng swiftly withdrew her hand, finding identical burns on her fingertips.

Chuzheng: “…”

Where am I!

Who am I!

What am I doing!

That scared the hell out of me!

–

The Blood Clan, ancient and mysterious, has been at the center of countless legends.

Their stories range from tragic romances to terrifying paranormal incidents…

Anything related to the Blood Clan becomes a tale of wonder and horror.

Humans fear those in the rumors who possess eternal life from the Blood Clan, yet they also yearn for it.

In places unknown to humans, there exists an academy—Avigust.

The academy is home to humans and the Blood Clan.

Do humans and the Blood Clan coexist?

No!

Humans are like little pets, reared by the Blood Clan within this place.

Those humans who have just entered Avigust don’t know what they face.

Under the academy’s education, they will slowly understand their position and what they must do.

There’s only one thing they need to do.

Wait obediently to be chosen by the Blood Clan as food.

But in private, they have another task—strive to be liked by the Blood Clan, to become a personal pet, which is much better than being picked by different members of the Blood Clan in the academy.

The original host was not one of these humans.

She was of the Blood Clan—the Queen.

The original host was pampered from a young age, already singled out as the next Queen’s choice.

As the next Queen’s choice, she had a lot to learn every day.

To ease her stress, the Blood Clan found her a ‘companion reader’ to take care of her daily needs and keep her company.

Knowing she had this privilege, the original host demanded to choose her own ‘companion reader.’

She wasn’t interested in the Blood Clan individuals handpicked and sent by her clan; instead, she favored a human from Avigust Academy.

Her name was Xia Ci.

She was beautiful, her eyes seeming to speak, unlike those in the academy who were listless, forever bowing their heads in a lifeless manner.

The original host adored her and chose her as her ‘companion reader.’

There was no precedent for this in the Blood Clan.

How could humans, their food, serve as companion readers?

Yet the original host insisted, and the Blood Clan, having no other choice, agreed.

Thus, Xia Ci stayed by the original host’s side. They grew up together; the original host taught her many things, allowing her to be respected among the Blood Clan, and she became an envy of everyone in Avigust Academy.

After the original host succeeded as the Queen,

Xia Ci continued to remain by her side and was given important responsibilities.

What the original host did not expect was that Xia Ci would betray her.

In alliance with another prince, they cornered her into a dead end and stripped her of her throne.

The original owner did not die but ended up at Avigust Academy.

Severely injured with her powers gone, everyone thought she was a human.

As the newcomer, always the center of attention with servants at her beck and call, she couldn’t possibly survive in such an environment.

The innate nobility that emanated from her bones now became a symbol of pretentiousness here.

Reduced to this state yet still putting on airs, no one liked her.

Being ostracized and bullied was a frequent occurrence.

Among those who bullied her the most was a girl named Guan Xiaoru.

Guan Xiaoru engineered a situation that exposed her in front of a member of the Blood Clan.

The original owner couldn’t understand why, even though she had lost some of her Blood Clan abilities, she was still of the Blood Clan; these Blood Clan members couldn’t possibly fail to recognize her.

But that Blood Clan member just didn’t recognize her.

Until, at last, under the torture of that Blood Clan member, as she was about to die, she saw Xia Ci.

Only then did she understand that all of this was orchestrated by Xia Ci.

She knew she was alive.

She just wanted to torture her to death slowly.

Chuzheng finished absorbing the plot and sighed inwardly.

No matter how powerful one is, in the end, they’re calculated against by those close to them.

Indeed, one can’t have friends.

It’s too terrifying.

[Miss, true friends who really have your best interests at heart are very worth making.] King’s Account tried to salvage its mistress’s worldview.

Heh.

No need.

I think being alone is quite nice.

What if someone stabs me in the back?

I’d have to beat them to death, such a hassle.

[…]

King’s Account would admire anyone who could keep the conversation going today.

–

The timeline she now found herself in was precisely when Xia Ci, in collusion with the prince, usurped her rights, and the original owner narrowly escaped, encountering a ship carrying humans here.

After being rescued, the original owner, in a bid for self-preservation, blended in with the humans.

Subsequently, she was taken as cargo to Avigust Academy.

Information at Avigust Academy was relatively isolated, and it wasn’t easy for the original owner to find out what was happening within the Blood Clan.

Betrayal.

Stripped of identity.

All of this filled the original owner’s heart with anger and hatred.

Once the original owner’s injuries had slightly healed, she tried to contact the Blood Clan she trusted.

She chose the wrong person, as it turned out he was on Xia Ci’s side. It must have been then that the original owner was revealed to be at Avigust Academy.

Chuzheng picked at the clothes on her body, trying to cover her arm that bore the traces of being burnt.

However, the sleeves were tattered and beyond repair.

…Which damn thing had torn her clothes!!

So infuriating.

Chuzheng seethed inwardly like a pufferfish.

She sat for a while, then began to take in her surroundings.

The room had only one window above through which she could see light; in front were bars, beyond which was a corridor, and across was a similar room, though empty.

It resembled a prison cell…

This was the first step every ‘newcomer’ to Avigust experienced, locked up until you questioned your existence.

The more stubborn, the longer they were confined.

Confined until you lost your temper.

Leaning against the wall, Chuzheng asked King’s Account in her mind, “How do you plan to squander our wealth in this world?”

[Miss, that is the problem I need to consider.] King’s Account’s voice was as cheerful as ever, [What you need to do now is get out of here as soon as possible.]

I don’t want to!

This place is quite nice!

There’s food and drink, and I don’t have to squander anything.

[…]Just knew it’d be like this!

So, when some people came to check on her, Chuzheng was not polite in showing them her ferocious side.

To be a person… no, to be of the Blood Clan requires being fierce!

If only the neighboring ‘cellmates’ weren’t constantly shouting and yelling, she would be more satisfied.
