Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Blood Clan Princess VS The Newly Embraced Human Girl (Part 19)

Gu Shengyin took some time to visit the Rocky Kingdom.

She did not inform anyone, so she was somewhat surprised when she saw Rita.

The woman in front of her, seductive with bewitching allure, her red lips like blood, was holding a goblet adorned with fresh blood—it really was Rita.

“Rita, long time no see.” Gu Shengyin greeted her.

Rita’s leisurely expression stiffened, seemingly in disbelief, “Your Highness?”

“It’s me.” Gu Shengyin walked over.

Rita appeared somewhat flustered. She stood up to pay her respects to Gu Shengyin, and as she rose, she noticed her glamorous skirt and the black nails on her hands, pausing slightly in her movements.

“Please take a seat, Your Highness.” Rita personally poured a fresh cup of blood for Gu Shengyin, then turned to leave.

When she came back, she had returned to the appearance Gu Shengyin was familiar with.

Gu Shengyin realized that Rita had just gone to remove her heavy makeup.

“You look much more natural this way. I almost didn’t recognize you just now,” Gu Shengyin casually remarked.

Rita smiled shyly, “What brings Your Highness here today?”

Gu Shengyin looked at her, “I heard that you have been making remarkable progress lately, so I came to see our Blood Clan’s soon-to-be Duke.”

Given Rita’s pace, becoming a Duke was almost certain, and within the entire Blood Clan, the number of Dukes was merely in the low twenties.

Rita seemed a bit embarrassed, “In front of Your Highness, what does a Duke count for?”

Gu Shengyin regarded her, “Don’t sell yourself short, Rita, you have done quite well.”

Gu Shengyin stayed in the Rocky Kingdom for a day, and when she left, Rita was reluctant to see her go.

“If you have time, you can come to Nightingale Castle. You’re always welcome,” Gu Shengyin said.

Unfortunately. Rita’s eyes drooped, Prince Olinwen surely wouldn’t allow someone with disloyalty in their heart to set foot in Nightingale Castle.

After returning to Nightingale Castle, Gu Shengyin began to prepare for her long sleep.

The Blood Clan, every five hundred years, would have a period of vulnerability, during which they would often sleep.

This was no small matter, as the original Yekaterina had been sealed away by Rita and a group of the Blood Clan during her period of sleep.

Having confirmed that all of Nightingale Castle’s defenses were activated, Gu Shengyin also drew a huge protective formation in the basement she chose for her slumber.

She left a message for Lancelot, stating that she had urgent matters to attend to and might not appear for the next century.

The slumber of the Blood Clan was short as a few decades or as long as several hundred years.

She was confident in her lover. With his talent, who knew what he might become in a hundred years.

Feeling the power within her body rapidly draining away, Gu Shengyin quietly sank into sleep.

Little did she know, by the time she awoke, the world outside would have completely changed.

When she woke up, the system let out a sigh of relief.

“Host, you’ve finally awoken,” the system sounded quite relieved.

“How long have I slept? Has something happened?”

The system replied, “Host, you’ve been asleep for a full one hundred and sixty years. Rita, along with many from the Malkawi Clan, betrayed Olinwen.”

“What are you saying?” Gu Shengyin was taken aback, “Why?”

The system hesitated for a moment, “It is said that… Duchess Rita coveted Prince Malkawi’s fiancée and was driven out of the Malkawi Clan in a rage by the Prince himself.”

Gu Shengyin, “Coveted Olinwen’s fiancée… wasn’t she in love with Olinwen? Wait a minute!”

Gu Shengyin’s eyes widened, “Olinwen’s fiancée!”

——

——

“Are you saying that Rita, her love, is for me?” Gu Shengyin was incredulous.

The system answered with silence.

“So, when Olinwen was jealous before, it was because he realized that Rita loved me, and he was jealous of Rita?”

The system fell silent once more.

Gu Shengyin felt that she needed to calm down.

“How is Lance doing?” She finally remembered her lover.

Just as the system was about to speak, the seal Gu Shengyin had set in the basement was broken by someone.

Not by brute force, but with the same technique used to set the seal.

In this world, there was only one person who knew this technique.

This time, there was no need for the system to provide an answer.

Indeed, the next second, Lancelot’s face appeared before Gu Shengyin’s.

“Yekaterina.” His voice was hoarse as he called her, bowed, and directly lifted her from the coffin.

“Sword Sovereign, not bad, you’ve made great progress. But how did you get in?” Gu Shengyin leaned comfortably in his embrace and asked.

The man placed her on the hall’s throne chair, knelt down, and answered concisely, “Fought my way in.”

Indeed, the next second, many of the castle guards rushed in, caught sight of Gu Shengyin sitting in the main seat, and said, “Your Highness, a very powerful human stormed in with a strange weapon, are you…”

His words suddenly stopped.

Because that very powerful human was at that moment half-kneeling on the ground, putting shoes on for their prince.

Gu Shengyin looked at them coldly, “Leave.”

The guards obediently withdrew, the previously speaking guard said with admiration, “As expected of His Royal Highness the Prince, even such a formidable human has quickly submitted to the charm of His Royal Highness.”

The hall suddenly quieted down.

Lancelot suddenly stood up, “You once told me that to become your man, one must first prove their strength with a sword. Then—”

He leaned down to look at Gu Shengyin, their breaths audible to each other, “Do I now have this qualification?”

Gu Shengyin raised her head, her own figure filled the deep blue irises of the other party.

She smiled softly, lifting her hand to wrap around his neck, said smilingly, “I allow you to call me Katusha.”

Lancelot’s expression turned to ecstatic joy; almost impatient, he leaned in and kissed her.

Lancelot gazed deeply at the person below him, observing her eyes that became gentle shedding the previous cold brilliance.

“May I?” He leaned down and asked.

Gu Shengyin didn’t speak, just closed her eyes.

At the height of passion, Gu Shengyin’s fangs uncontrollably extended, pressing against Lancelot’s neck.

“My dear Katusha, bite down.” Lancelot looked intensely at her.

Gu Shengyin no longer hesitated, her teeth breached flesh and blood.

Lancelot felt his mind erupting like fireworks, he groaned softly, and collapsed on top of Gu Shengyin.

Gu Shengyin closed her eyes deeply, indulging herself in sleep.

When she awoke, she found herself lying in bed with an arm possessively wrapped around her waist.

“Awake?” Lancelot’s voice came from above, filled with laughter.

He hadn’t slept at all.

Having already been overjoyed at his lover’s recognition the day before, he hadn’t expected there to be an even greater surprise awaiting him.

He gazed at his lover’s sleeping face, feeling as if he could never get enough.
