Chapter 541 This is a formal occasion

The Dark Queen Isabel approached Qin Mo's seat and greeted him like a junior, nearly causing the already agitated group of courtiers in the hall to faint.

Qin Mo's expression was also quite interesting. He didn't bow to Isabel because he had guessed the reason to some extent. He had learned some knowledge about the bloodline inheritance of vampires from Amanda.

But Qin Mo didn't take it seriously at the time, nor did he intend to. To have a six-hundred-year-old vampire prince call him father? No matter how beautiful or charming she was, it wouldn't work. Wouldn't that make me some kind of godfather?

"Isabel, I've treated you well! Can you please not hurt me?"

"Your Excellency Qin Mo, I was merely expressing my gratitude. Please don't overthink it. That day... I did have some urgent business to attend to, which is why I left without saying goodbye. Please accept my sincere apologies."

At this point, Isabel bowed respectfully to Qin Mo again, causing Qin Mo's face to fall completely.

What do you mean by "leaving without saying goodbye"? Do you even know how to use your words? This is so easy to misunderstand!

Qin Mo had only felt the chill emanating from Wang Yushi's direction, but now the other two directions were also filled with murderous intent.

Qin Mo looked up and saw three beautiful women with six eyes full of murderous intent. These eyes were fixed on the two women. Isabel didn't care, but Qin Mo couldn't stand it!

"Oh no, I'm sure some uninvited guest will visit my bedroom tonight. Should I hurry up and call Kai Eren to run away together?"

"Your Majesty Queen Isabella, today is a banquet hosted by the Empress Regent of Great Xia to entertain you distinguished guests. Let us set aside our private matters for now... Of course, we don't have any private matters to attend to. Please return to your seats and savor the delicious food of Great Xia."

Isabel pointed to the empty seat next to Qin Mo: "Can I... sit here?"

“Isabel, today you are a guest invited by the Empress of Great Xia. The dignitaries of Great Xia and the Regent Empress are all welcoming you. You must receive the courtesy you deserve!” Qin Mo pointed to Isabel’s own table, indicating that she should leave quickly.

Qin Mo simultaneously gestured with her lips, and Isabel turned her head and saw Wang Yushi's icy expression. She seemed to understand something, smiled, and said, "Your Majesty, I have some personal connections with Prince Heng. You don't mind if I sit at this table, do you?"

"Oh? May I ask what personal relationship you, Speaker, have with the Prince of Heng of my Great Xia?"

Wang Yushi smiled as well, but instead of addressing Isabel as Queen, she referred to her by her position in the Crimson Council, thus reminding Isabel of the occasion and that it was inappropriate for them to discuss personal feelings here.

“His Highness Prince Heng saved my life!” Isabel said seriously, her smile fading.

"Oh...oh..."

The officials and nobles who had been watching the two with bated breath in the main hall could no longer contain themselves and began to buzz with discussion. This was truly shocking. Qin Mo had actually saved the vampire queen. Was this just an ordinary friendship? This was a life-saving grace, wasn't it?

Xiao Xinyan was drenched in cold sweat, which soaked through his silk inner shirt. He finally understood why the Blood Clan Council, which had never interacted with the Great Xia, had suddenly made a formal visit. This was clearly an accomplice that Qin Mo had called in!

Thinking back to how he had recklessly tried to fight Qin Mo to the death not long ago, he was filled with lingering fear. The cruelty of the vampires and their tendency to side with their own kind regardless of right or wrong were well-known.

"Since Your Excellency the Speaker has a long-standing relationship with Prince Heng, it is only natural that you can sit and drink together!"

Wang Yushi's complexion improved slightly. Qin Mo had told her about his past with Isabel, how two jars of blood saved Isabel's life in the Moon Palace, the sacred land of the elves, which was indeed true.

Isabel nodded to Wang Yushi first, then sat down at Qin Mo's seat. She didn't mind that Qin Mo was sitting in the main seat while she was in the secondary seat.

Qin Mo clutched her forehead, her head throbbing. She just wanted the banquet to end quickly so she could escape this awkward situation. Could you blame Isabel? She was clearly trying to support you!

"Da...da...da"

"Click...click...click"

The crisp sound of high heels rang out, and Qin Mo broke out in a cold sweat. He was all too familiar with that sound, because he had made both pairs of shoes by hand.

Wang Yushi knew about the relationship between Hathaway and Shia and Qin Mo. They simply nodded to Wang Yushi in greeting and went straight to Qin Mo's seat to sit down.

"What are you three doing? This is a formal occasion, a very formal occasion, you know? Everyone's watching us!"

"Hmph! I'm not afraid of being seen!" Little Xia's stubbornness kicked in, and she muttered unhappily.

The usually gentle Hazel stared at Isabel, the light emanating from her body causing her white gauze dress to flutter slightly.

Qin Mo looked helplessly at the three top experts of the era, who exuded a chilling aura, and said with a blank expression, "Welcome to the Great Xia for a friendly visit. The Great Xia welcomes your arrival... and hopes you will have a pleasant stay in the Great Xia!"

Qin Mo recited a standard welcome speech, then lowered her head to eat, ignoring the subtle competition between the three powerful women.

Do whatever you want! I can't control you anymore! Even if you scratch each other's faces until they're covered in blood, I won't care.

"Your Highness Prince Heng, I trouble you to represent me... to properly entertain the three empresses, the speaker, and the elders, in order to fulfill the hospitality of the Great Xia Dynasty!"

"Your subject... obeys!"

Hearing Wang Yushi's indifferent voice, Qin Mo reluctantly agreed. She had only herself to blame; no woman was easy to deal with.

"Ladies, please raise your glasses to the friendship between Daxia and everyone here! Cheers!"
