Chapter 300 : A Rose Wedding 26 (1/2)

Shi Sheng didn’t announce her presence when she entered, merely remaining quietly in a corner with Xi Yin. Because the latter blocked most of her body off from view, no one discovered that she looked exactly like Ling Xiang, who was currently in the spotlight.

Xi Yin found Shi Sheng’s suddenly subdued manner to be quite odd. This wasn’t like her at all.

Xi Yin subtly tightened his grasp on Shi Sheng’s hand.

The entire great hall appeared to be filled with the thick scent of roses.

Shi Sheng’s gaze landed on the long, rectangular table at the side of the great hall. Many beautiful glass cups filled with a bright red liquid were laid out on it.

It appeared to be the source of the thick rose fragrance in the room.

Xi Yin seemed to have noticed where her attention was directed, for he pulled her into his arms and explained in a low voice, “That’s Jinluo juice. It can sate your hunger, but it’s easy to get addicted to.”

“The one you gave me?”

“En. I’m sorry.” Xi Yin didn’t try to hide it. ‘Fortunately, I only gave her one glass.’

Shi Sheng didn’t react. She turned away after a brief glance.

The vampires and vampire hunters were clearly divided into two camps that each took up one side of the room. Of course, there’d be some interaction between the two groups, but it was mostly limited to greetings.

Shi Sheng saw Du Jue in the crowd of vampire hunters. His expression appeared rather unsightly as he spoke to the person beside him. The latter appeared to be disagreeing with him on something.

The more Du Jue spoke, the more agitated he got. Suddenly, he smashed the glass of red wine he was holding onto the ground. The sound of glass shattering caused the great hall to fall silent as all eyes turned to him.

“If you won’t say it, then I will! This matter doesn’t just concern us humans, but the vampires too!” Du Jue spoke forcefully, his voice echoing in the grand hall.

“Du Jue!” The elder who had been speaking to Du Jue snapped.

“What does Mr Du wish to say?” Ke Er walked over from the vampire’s side and stood in the middle between the two camps, his expression filled with scrutiny.

“Du Jue, hold your tongue!” The elder wished to hold Du Jue back, but the latter merely brushed the former aside.

He pushed up his glasses and advanced a few steps to stand before Ke Er. “Mr Ke Er, are you aware that your goddaughter has broken the agreement by killing humans?”

Ke Er’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Ling Xiang, who was nearby. She appeared shocked by this revelation; her expression was dumbstruck.

Those around her turned their gazes to Ling Xiang. “Breaking the first rule of the agreement is punishable by death…why would Lady Mi Nai kill humans?”

“How could Lady Mi Nai break the agreement? Perhaps they’re just deliberately finding fault!”

“I think so too! Vampire hunters are our natural enemies; this has to be a set-up!”

Ke Er ignored the discussions going on as he calmly asked, “Do you have any proof, Mr Du?”

Du Jue took out his phone and showed Ke Er two videos.

The first displayed Mi Nai’s very recognisable profile. There was no way of mistaking her identity, even if one could only see her silhouette. And the person in the video was in the process of sucking out someone’s blood.

The second video was the one where “Mi Nai” was surrounded and attacked at the academy.

The person who took the video hadn’t recorded the part where Shi Sheng and Ling Xiang both appeared, only the part where Ling Xiang sucked the blood out of the girl and then revealed her features.

“This is the proof!” Du Jue raised his voice, a keen light flashing through the eyes beneath the glasses. “How will you explain this, Prince Ke Er?”

Rui Yi stood behind Ke Er, his expression rapidly changing such that it was unpredictable.
