Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 478: Chapter 478 Blood Clan Queen (7)

“It might be because I’m good-looking,” Chuzheng answered seriously.

“…” Her roommate, who had a poker face, was unexpectedly humorous?

Xia Ci was trapped in the middle, growing increasingly irritated. She glanced over the crowd, further fueling her displeasure.

The moment she looked down, she suddenly raised her head and stared at a certain spot.

Chuzheng stood there unaffected, allowing Xia Ci to gaze at her.

She didn’t yet know that Xia Ci and Karlo had created a secret edict of abdication… and now Karlo was about to become the King of the Blood Clan.

How admirable… what a load of crap!

Haven’t the Blood Clan paid their intelligence tax?

How could they believe such nonsense!

Since when does the Blood Clan have a secret edict of abdication!!

Xia Ci saw Chuzheng and panicked, her face turning from pale to flushed.

“Madam Xia Ci…” someone called her.

Xia Ci turned her head, and when she looked back, the person she had just seen was gone.

–

Xia Ci hurried back to Karlo’s castle.

“Xia Ci, why did you have a conflict with Bruno’s people?”

Upon hearing the voice, Xia Ci looked up.

The man was leaning over the railing on the second floor, looking down at her. His handsome face was expressionless, revealing no signs of pleasure or anger.

“My lord,” Xia Ci respectfully greeted, “It was her who started the trouble.”

“Bruno is notoriously protective, even if it was just an insignificant human,” Karlo frowned. “Do you know that today’s incident could affect his final allegiance?”

The phrase “insignificant human” made Xia Ci feel somewhat uncomfortable inside.

She was human, too.

“Lord, I have something to tell you,” Xia Ci suppressed the unease in her heart and quickly went upstairs. “I… I think I saw the Queen just now.”

Karlo’s gaze paused: “What did you say?”

“I might have seen the Queen,” Xia Ci repeated.

“Is she still alive?”

“At that time, we were not certain of her death…” The Blood Clan’s vitality was inherently strong, and she was after all the Queen. Perhaps she was hiding methods unknown to them.

“Are you sure?” Karlo gripped Xia Ci’s wrist. “You didn’t see it wrong?”

Xia Ci wasn’t quite certain herself.

“Check!” Karlo’s face turned cold. “Make sure you get to the bottom of this. If she comes back, everything is over, understood?”

Xia Ci understood the consequences.

They had not yet fully subdued the Blood Clan.

Some Blood Clan members were skeptical about the so-called secret edict of abdication, remaining neutral without taking sides.

The Queen’s confidants did not believe it at all…

If the Queen suddenly reappeared at this time, all their efforts would have been in vain.

Xia Ci: “Yes.”

–

Chuzheng sat in her room, idly flipping through TV channels.

There were no mobile phones here, no internet, and the programs on the TV were actually from the previous day.

The Blood Clan sure had a hard time with this.

Knock knock…

Mushroom, who was crouching in the corner, looked up at Chuzheng and saw her lying on the sofa, motionless. He swallowed and cautiously went to open the door.

The one knocking was Jian.

“The matter with Aier has been settled,” Jian came mainly to say this.

Fortunately, she had been cautious.

They somehow bluffed their way through the situation.

Even if Filite was angry, he couldn’t take it out on her now.

“Hmm,” Chuzheng replied languidly, putting down the remote control. “Is Karlo about to hold a succession ceremony?”

Jian: “!!!”

She had bluntly called out Prince Karlo’s name.

Jian swallowed: “…Yes.”

This was not a secret; the Blood Clan were aware.

Because the previous Blood Clan Queen had suddenly abdicated…

The Blood Clan could not be without a king.

So, according to the secret edict of abdication, Prince Karlo was to succeed.

“Do you have an invitation?”

“…You overestimate me.” She was just a member of the Blood Clan with a slight status in Avigust. Only those above could attend such grand ceremonies as the King of the Blood Clan.

“…” There was no such thing.

Chuzheng felt she should have left Aier behind.

Wrong move, wrong move.

“How could one obtain it?” Such grand ceremonies were extremely stringent, and without an invitation, there was absolutely no entry.

Of course, Chuzheng just found it troublesome.

With an invitation, one could enter directly.

This question stumped Jian.

“I…I will think of a way?” Jian answered cautiously.

Chuzheng did not commit one way or another.

Jian felt she must have agreed.

–

Guan Xiaoru and Xia Ci’s matter, Chuzheng heard from Su Li that Xia Ci had actively gone to apologize to Guan Xiaoru.

Prince Karlo was at a critical juncture, and Xia Ci dared not offend Bruno.

Even if reluctant, they had to apologize obediently.

This incident occurred within the academy, and since Guan Xiaoru was still there, the news spread rather quickly.

However, with this incident, these two would probably be at each other’s throats from now on.

Chuzheng and Su Li were supposed to go to class with everyone else.

But thanks to Jian’s special attention, Chuzheng and Su Li didn’t have to go.

“I only now realize that this Tianguang Academy is different from the other two academies, Xuan Yue Holy Hall and Sanctum Academy.” Su Li lay on the bed, no longer trembling as she had been the previous days.

She probably had accepted her situation.

“Hey, aren’t you curious?” Su Li turned her head to look at Chuzheng.

“Not curious.”

“…” Su Li seemed to think of something, awkwardly touching her hair.

Her roommate seemed very familiar with this place.

Tianguang Academy was at the very fringe of Avigust.

Because the humans here, like Su Li, were all brought here through deception, kidnapping, or coercion.

In Xuan Yue Academy, however, were those who were sent willingly by wealthy and powerful families.

Just to forge connections with the Blood Clan, even if only as food… Su Li had never imagined that humans could be so mad.

For the power of the Blood Clan, they would sacrifice their own offspring.

Like Guan Xiaoru.

Of course, the people in Xuan Yue Academy, once they reached a certain age and had not been turned by the Blood Clan, would eventually leave and return to the outside world.

The humans of Tianguang Academy could forget about it.

As for the last academy, Sanctum Academy, it was filled with Blood Clan members and acted rather like a school for the Blood Clan.

After all, young Blood Clan members or those who had just been turned also needed to learn.

“Where do people from Tianguang Academy end up going?” The Blood Clan preferred the young and beautiful, and it was said that if one didn’t become a private pet of some noble, they could only stay here until the age of twenty-five.

After twenty-five, these people would be taken away.

But no one knew where to.

“Death Island.”

Su Li didn’t expect Chuzheng to talk to her, and she sat up straight with a start: “What is Death Island?”

Chuzheng glanced at her coldly and asked, “Never did reading comprehension?”

Su Li: “…Yes, I did.”

Su Li: “…”

Chuzheng: “Figure it out yourself.”

Death Island.

How else to understand it?

The first two words already fully emphasized the point.

Su Li swallowed hard and rubbed her arms.

This place was really terrifying.

Su Li was quiet for a while, then her stomach began to gurgle, singing the tune of an empty fortress. She touched her stomach, “Weird, why hasn’t the meal delivery come yet?”

“I haven’t seen you eat anything,” Su Li belatedly realized, “Aren’t you hungry?”

Chuzheng answered frankly, “I’m not human.” Something about that didn’t seem quite right.

Su Li froze in place.

“You…you…you’re not human… What are you?”

“What else is there here besides humans?” Such an obvious question, yet you ask me.

“Blood…Blood Clan…” Su Li’s legs trembled.
