Quick Transmigrating Second Female Lead's Counterattack Chapter 83

If it was like that, then it would explain why the hunters’ guild were so determined.

Qian YuYou rubbed his chin, “Let’s wait and watch.” The hunters’ guild had been quiet for a while. Now, they’re acting without considering the consequences. That means they might be counting on something. That or the thing they were looking to gain was worth all the risks. Something belonging to the vampire clan and worth such high value…could it be?

Qian YuYou’s face darkened, a murderous aura emitting from him.

XunMi immediately felt his change in mood. Looking at his expression, however, XunMi decided to ignore him. She’ll find out when it’s the right time anyways.

“Little kitten, I’ll protect you.” Until the moment my heart stops beating.

“….En,” XunMi blinked her intoxicating peach blossom eyes. She didn’t know if she had simply imagined that sudden heavy atmosphere. Her heart stirred restlessly.

She definitely needed to find a time to speak with Nangong Ci.

“Let me tell you this now: since I’ve decided on you, then you have to live healthily for me. Only if you stay alive do you have the right to stand by my side.” So please don’t carelessly put your life in danger.

XunMi can firmly face anything but her lover. In matters concerning her lover, she will always become weak with worry.

“Little kitten. In this lifetime, besides me, no one will have that right to stand by you.” Qian YuYou hugged XunMi tightly, pushing her left cheek to rest onto his chest so that she could hear his forceful, throbbing heartbeat.

Even in death, he won’t let go of her hand. He was selfish. Since she was already his, others shouldn’t even dare imagine gaining her.

XunMi enjoyed her husband’s overbearing and possessive att.i.tude. Tbe unease in her heart slowly soothed as she listened to his heartbeat.

No matter what, she’ll always be by her lover’s side. No matter whether it’s heaven or h.e.l.l, no matter what fearsome thing they encounter, they’ll always have each other.

She had once heard the romantic saying: When you feel a shadow behind you, don’t be afraid. That’s only because there is sunshine in front of you. So don’t be afraid of shadows, because I will be your sun.

You JiuXiao and the four elders traveled over land and sea, finally arriving at the hunters’ guild headquarters. Coincidentally, they discovered a shocking secret. The group didn’t stay for long. As they were making their way back, an invitation letter was also currently making its way to the Wild Rose Castle.

XunMi had just received it when You JiuXiao and Co. arrived back. When the four elders finally saw their dear Ancestor, they burst into happiness. But before they could walk forward to express their joy, they were frozen into place by Ancestor’s glare.

With tears streaming down their cheeks, they could only watch as their Ancestor gently spoke with the vampire with silver hair. His obvious gentle cautious att.i.tude completely blinded them!

“Prince Burton invited me to their hunting game.” XunMi held the invitation card between her fingers.

There were only three Princes in the entire vampire clan. You JiuXiao and Klos were frequently dormant. The most active one was Prince Burton, whose biggest hobby was hunting. He’ll hold a gathering every once in awhile yet had never once invited XunMi before.

XunMi didn’t quite understand the purpose of his invitation. Did he think that before, Mi didn’t have the strength and qualifications? Or did he now have some specific reason that required her presence?

“Even though there’s prohibitions against hunting, it still won’t stop the interest. This Burton really is arrogant. I didn’t like his behavior from the start so I never a.s.sociated with him,” Klos began complaining. Burton was his archenemy, he definitely wasn’t pleased with this.

You JiuXiao also sighed. This Burton was a nature troublemaker.

“You, should I go?” XunMi tapped Qian YuYou’s chest with the invitation card.

“Go, I’ll go with you.” He dared to try to steal her from under his watch, was he tired of living?

XunMi shrugged her shoulders. Since her husband said he wanted to go, then of course they should go.

“I’m going too.”

“I’m going too.”

You JiuXiao and Klos spoke at the same time.

“En, we’ll all go.” Qian YuYou made the final decision. After all, the invitation card didn’t say who it was inviting, it only said “To Wild Rose Castle”.

In the blink of an eye, it was now the day of Prince Burton’s hunting game. XunMi and her party appeared bombastically in front of Prince Burton’s official residence.

They had originally thought they would be met with a crowd bustling with activity, yet there was only a small group. In response, XunMi and her party looked at each other with raised eyebrows. The host that invited them wasn’t even present.

“What exactly is Burton trying to do?” Klos looked around but was unable to discover anything.

“Probably trying to put us into a boiling pot,” You JiuXiao calmly responded, only allowing his eyes to reflect his solemn mood.

XunMi was currently busy accepting the information that BaoBao had sent over. She really didn’t expect that Prince Burton’s mansion would be a critical location point.

The hunters’ guild and the vampire clan falling out thousands of years ago was due to this person. Rather, it was due to the news he had brought with him. The vampire clan had a precious treasure. If a vampire ate it, then they could return to human form. If an ordinary person ate it, they could gain immortality. But this precious treasure had only been heard about in folklore. No one had ever seen the real thing before.

Prince Burton had heard this news from somewhere and thus instigated the falling out between hunters’ guild and vampire clan. He had planned to wait until the two sides suffered to the point that they wouldn’t be able to defend themselves, and then take the treasure himself.

However, no one could have predicted the results. The vampire clan indeed suffered from disastrous numbers of casualties, yet they stubbornly recovered in a short time. Burton hadn’t even had the time to act before everything had ended.

In these few years, he had been secretly searching for the treasure, yet repeatedly coming up empty handed. After thinking about it, he became suspicious of the Wild Rose Queen. He felt that the treasure might be in her hands, or that she at least had information on it. As long as he captured her, he might be able to learn more.

Thus, he set up a hunting game as a Red Banquet specifically for XunMi. {T/N: 鸿门宴 is a banquet set up with the ulterior motive of a.s.sa.s.sinating the guest of honor}

Burton wasn’t that dumb. He wasn’t going to reveal his ugly side at the very start. At least he had no intentions to act within the perimeters of his own mansion.

The reason Burton still hadn’t appeared in front of them was because he was currently conspiring with Ye ZhiYi. The two had their own ulterior motives but had discovered a common goal, allowing them to scheme happily together.

After XunMi read through this plotline, her mood was: o(╯□╰)o

It seemed that the original soul had been held captive. Not only did they want her to be an imprisoned property, but they also wanted to learn about the whereabouts of the treasure through her. However, the original soul was just a countess, she was never a core member of the vampire clan.

How could she know about such treasure?

In the end, Mi was completely clipped of her freedom and sank into a bottomless abyss.

“Hahaha, I am terribly sorry. There had been a special guest visiting just now. I’m late.” A bright voice and loud laughter came through the doorway. A handsome man in a golden suit walked in.
