Chapter 313 : A Rose Wedding 39 (1/2)

“Ms Mi Nai…” The special ops team leader was an amicable old man, the type people couldn’t help but feel close to.

But he didn’t have the chance to continue before the girl in front of him waved. “It’s too exhausting to look up at you guys. Sit.”

The special ops team, “…” ‘This Vampire Queen is eccentric all right.’

Once everyone had sat down, the old man Zhao coughed and spoke once more. “Miss Mi Nai, this one’s name is Zhao Fei. I am the Chief[1] of the special ops team.”

Shi Sheng propped up her jaw and turned to look at him, causing some of her hair to fall on her face. “If you guys are the special ops team, how come the boss is called Chief?”

Zhao Fei, “!!!”

‘Well, wasn’t it because being called Team Leader wasn’t cool enough?’

But how was he supposed to explain? Was he supposed to tell her it was because this form of address sounded cooler? His old face couldn’t take the blow.

Zhao Fei laughed awkwardly. “Miss Mi Nai, what I’m called is not important. We wanted to talk to you about the future of our two races.”

“I think things are looking up.”

Zhao Fei, “…” ‘Well things have sure been looking up for the vampires… At this rate, all the humans are going to turn into vampires! *flips table* Who said this girl was easy to talk to?!’

Zhao Fei felt like all his negotiation tactics were completely useless—this girl didn’t play by the rules at all.

“You want to sue for peace?” Just as Zhao Fei struggled to raise this topic, the girl in front of him spoke. He hurriedly smiled and nodded. “If things continue developing in this direction, it will be detrimental to both races. I believe you understand the reasoning behind this, Miss Mi Nai.”

“But…” Shi Sheng spoke in a drawn-out fashion, causing the humans to hold their breath as they anticipated her following words.

“You humans have ruled the world for too long. It’s time to switch things up a bit.” Shi Sheng’s eyes curved upwards. “Have you guys watched Jurassic World?”

The special ops team, “???” ‘How did the topic change to Jurassic World?’

“Dinosaurs dominated the world for so long, but what happened?”

The special ops team, “…” ‘Don’t really get what this Vampire Queen is thinking…’

Shi Sheng looked at them like they were idiots. “They went extinct. They all died out, y’know? I reckon we should take turns in ruling the world so as to prevent humans from going extinct. Besides…vampires live a long time; what’s so bad about that?”

The lives of humans were too short. So many in history had dreamed of immortality—now that such a good opportunity lay before them, why refuse it?

‘Seems very convincing… Pei! We’re here to negotiate, not to get brainwashed!’

“Miss Mi Nai…”

“At your age, you probably don’t have much longer to live. But if you become a vampire, you’ll have a much longer lifespan which would allow you to contribute more to the world, no? Am I right, Chief Zhao?”

Zhao Fei froze, not knowing how to react.

The faces of the others were also twitching. ‘Are we here to negotiate or to get brainwashed?’

By the time the special ops team left the meeting room, they didn’t even know what they’d managed to negotiate with the Vampire Queen.

“Chief…” The special ops team, crestfallen, looked at Zhao Fei. How were they supposed to report back? The whole time, they were just being brainwashed by the Vampire Queen.

Zhao Fei sighed. “Let’s discuss this when we get back.”

After all, this was the territory of the Vampire Queen…

Several students laughed and chattered as they walked past. When they saw Shi Sheng emerge from the room, they respectfully bowed. “Lady Mi Nai.”

The special ops team, “…”

‘There must’ve been something wrong with the way we arrived or something…’

When they walked into the grounds and saw a group of youthful, vigorous students bustling around, they suddenly felt a hint of surrealism.

The world outside was in such chaos, but the people here…seemed no different from before. They dressed cleanly, and though they appeared somewhat worried, they still looked fairly at ease.
