Chapter 242: Legend of the Blood Clan (26)
"I didn't mean it..." Shi Qi was confused for a moment, rubbed his head and looked up.
"Prince Dill?"
"It's me." Dill looked at the woman in front of him, a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes.
"It's so late, do you have something important to report?" Shi Qi calmed down and took a few steps back.
The man's figure stood straight, and under the dim light, there was an indescribable heaviness and loneliness.
"Do you know... where she went?" After a long time, the man's low voice sounded.
Shi Qi was stunned and didn't react for a moment: "What...she?"
"My highness, my queen...where did she go? Now...is she still alive?" As the man spoke, he approached step by step, his pair of red eyes staring straight at Shi Qi.
Shi Qi's whole body froze, and he felt guilty as if he had been seen through.
He just... discovered that she was not the original owner.
This seems to be the first time this has happened.
What should she say? Should she hide it, or... tell the truth to the original owner's closest relatives?
"What are you doing, Prince? I don't understand what you mean." Shi Qi concentrated and said indifferently.
"You know, she is afraid of the dark, so she never lives in a coffin; she has a bad temper, and I would be severely punished if I did something wrong in the past; most importantly, she has loved Ling Li for a long time, and there is no way she would turn around and protect Yin Su..."
"And... this 'Yin Su' is from the Mei Clan, right?"
Dill asked leisurely.
At the beginning, he probably noticed her change, but he didn't want to believe it and he lied to himself.
But today, when he saw her subconsciously protecting Yin Su, he suddenly understood.
His queen...seems to have left him a long time ago.
Before the last war? Or after the war...
"You are not her. The blood mark is still on you. You are not a member of the Meizu. What are your origins?"
"And why... occupy her body?"
In the quiet corridor, the man approached step by step, like a huge net, surrounding Shi Qi layer by layer.
Shi Qi's thoughts were a little confused.
Logically speaking, she basically followed the original owner's personality, with not much deviation, but how did Dill notice these details? Isn't this... difficult for her!
"This world has immortality and monsters. I have always believed that there are other unknown species. So you just need to tell me who you are, what your purpose is, and where she is..."
"As long as it's not detrimental to the vampires, I will follow you." The man seemed to realize that his words were too sharp, and he stepped back slightly and softened his tone.
Bald: "Host, as long as there are no problems with your body or warning sounds, it is not considered that you have left the original personality. If you are discovered, it is okay to explain it to the other party. It will not affect the main quest."
Shi Qi felt a little relieved after hearing Tu Tu's words.
Seeing the man's suppressed emotions, she couldn't continue to hide the truth.
After all, he had accompanied and protected the original owner for a long time and was the most qualified to understand the original owner's affairs.
"I'm sorry, you're right, I'm indeed not her. But you don't have to worry too much. I will only protect the vampires and have no other intentions." Shi Qi seemed to have unloaded a burden, and his heart was calm and relaxed.
"She was a very good girl. This world seemed very sad, so she...went to a happier world."
Shi Qi did not say it explicitly, but the listener naturally understood.
For a long time, the only sound that could be heard in the quiet corridor was the ticking of the clock.
Dill lowered his head and was very quiet, but his obviously trembling shoulders and the transparent tears falling on the carpet announced his collapse.
In Shi Qi's impression, Dill was a steady and tough man. He assisted and accompanied the original owner for a thousand years. When he was dismissed, imprisoned and tortured, he did not cry; when he was captured during the war, he did not compromise or bow his head; when countless silver objects pierced his body, he did not even frown...
But such a strong man couldn't control his sadness and helplessness when he learned that his queen had left.
Shi Qi was at a loss and his heart ached slightly. It seemed... the original owner's emotions were also very unstable.
"She is watching you somewhere, probably...she wants you to live a good life and don't worry about her." Shi Qi raised his hand and patted his shoulder gently, just like when he first met Dill.
But after a few days, the man's trembling was no longer the shyness and throbbing of a young boy.
"Really? Then let her do as she wishes. What's your name? I always have to... know who I'm going to follow in the future." The man quickly calmed down and looked calm and steady again.
"Shi Qi, surname Shi, given name Qi."
"The name is the same as hers, maybe there really is a destiny. Then I... won't bother you anymore." The man bowed respectfully and turned to leave.
Shi Qi looked at the lonely figure and asked, "You chose to continue to follow me... because of her body?"
Dill's body stiffened. "Well, I promised the late king, and I promised myself that from the moment she was born, I would protect everything about her."
"So when I'm away, please... take good care of yourself."
Dill's voice was hoarse but firm and powerful.
Without waiting for Shi Qi to answer, he dragged his heavy steps and gradually disappeared around the corner of the corridor.
If she wasn't the king, if he wasn't the servant, then everything... would be different.
Shi Qi sighed lightly, feeling somewhat relieved. He glanced at the corridor again, turned around and was about to go back to the house. Suddenly, the candle on the wall fell off, and the hot candle wax scattered on Shi Qi's shoulders.
In an instant, two pieces of flesh were burned off on the shoulders, and white smoke came out.
Shi Qi frowned slightly, ignoring the pain, and stroked the scar with his fingers, and began to worry.
It seems that this world...can no longer accommodate her.
Just candle tears can actually hurt her...
It seems that the final battle... is coming soon.
……
In the small countryside filled with the fragrance of flowers, the man sat on the swing, his head down, thinking about something.
"Hey, Ling Li, what are you thinking about? I've called you several times. Come and have dinner. Xiaoyu has been crying for food because she's hungry." Lan Xiao put down the plate in his hand, rubbed his hands and walked towards Ling Li.
Ling Li came back to his senses, raised his head and replied: "I was just wondering if I should go to the Blood Clan to get the Blood Seal."
"What are you worried about? We are opposing races, and humans are weak. Once a war breaks out, it will be us who will suffer heavy losses." Lan Xiao said as he stood aside.
Ling Li's dark eyes flickered slightly, and he answered nonchalantly: "Really?"
"Besides, the Blood Queen isn't looking for you now. What does she want to do? Is she treating you well?" Lan Xiao asked curiously.
"Well, it's very good to me." Ling Li replied.
Now that I think about it, Shi Qi really treats him differently. On the surface, she controls and makes demands on him, but in reality, he lives very freely and she respects and implements his ideas.
And that black rose... I remember he gave it to someone, but that face... wasn't Shi Qi.
Has he really met her? Why is she nice to him...and why?
But he could go to the blood clan to gain Shi Qi's trust, and then use her to get the blood seal. Can he really do it without feeling guilty?
"Ah, then it seems that the vampire queen is a good wife." Lan Xiao said with a smile.
Ling Li was stunned, thinking of that person, and wanted to laugh: "She is not an old person, she is very young and very beautiful. But I don't understand her, sometimes she is cheerful and bright... sometimes, she is arrogant and cold."
When the man talked about Shi Qi, there was a smile on his face and his eyes were bright.
In an instant, an alarm sounded in Lan Xiao's heart.
Not good... looks like a love rival!
She pretended to be pitiful and weak, and finally got a side room next to Ling Li's house, which she kept clean, thinking that the one who is close to the water will get the most out of it.
The strange thing is that sometimes Ling Li's favorability towards her can reach over 65, which means he likes her. But sometimes it is around 20, cold and indifferent, like two different people.
She had always thought it was her problem, but now looking at the situation, Ling Li... had a crush on the Blood Queen? He just didn't know it?
Or maybe Ling Li... has a split personality?
This shouldn't be the case. He has always been calm and composed.
Good man, she really wanted to know who that woman was. She dealt with Ling Li, the iceberg, in such a short time!
"Then...what's her name?" Lan Xiao asked.
"Yaster." Ling Li said.
"Oh... that's a nice name."
"But everyone there calls her Shi Qi." Ling Li added.
When Lan Xiao heard the name, she was stunned: "You said... her name is Shi Qi?"
"Yes, Shi Qi."
Lan Xiao: …?
No way, no way, it can’t be such a coincidence that she ran into the goddess here!
She remembered that the system said there were people with the same tasks as her in this world, and Qi might...
Oh my god, why is she trying to conquer Ling Li? Can’t she just conquer the goddess directly?
The more Lan Xiao thought about it, the happier she became, and she actually laughed out loud.
"Are you... very happy?" Ling Li looked at the girl who had suddenly changed in front of him, feeling a little confused.
"Really? Eat, eat. I can eat three bowls of rice today!" Lan Xiao clapped his hands and rushed into the house.
Ling Li was left standing in the wind, looking confused.
