Chapter 46 Blood Clan Ancient Text (Bloodstains) 22 Red Wine
Don't be afraid.
After so many years, Xiu could still remember the words spoken to him by the black-haired, purple-eyed girl. Her tone was gentle and soft, like a feather gently scratching the palm of his hand, or more like a call, pulling him out of the mud of thick blood.
But at this moment, the timid boy just carefully put down his arms and raised his eyelashes to look at the girl squatting in front of him. His clear blue eyes were still covered with a layer of mist, probably because he was scared.
Her expression seemed non-aggressive, and her eyes were a clear purple, completely different from the scarlet eyes of the vampires.
Song Qingqing was stunned when she saw Qingxiu's appearance.
Because he looked so harmless, the way he looked at her was like a small animal that showed its soft belly to her without any vigilance.
Her azure blue eyes were tinged with water, and her soft golden hair lay delicately on both sides of her cheeks, making her look like a little angel who had strayed into this place by mistake.
Such a child seems out of place with the blood and evil here and now.
The bloody smell around was a bit too strong. Song Qingqing wanted to vomit several times, so she wanted to take Xiu away quickly, otherwise she didn't know what would happen if she stayed any longer.
Fortunately, Xiu did not hesitate for long. He just trembled and watched his brother sucking the blood of his own kind like a wild beast. Soon they turned into gray corpses, with only skin left.
The scene before him was comparable to hell.
Xiu no longer hesitated and put his hand into Song Qingqing's palm.
......
The atmosphere in the carriage was a little subtle.
Song Qingqing sat quietly beside the tall Hades, playing with the satin handmade roses on her skirt, while Xiu huddled in the corner, as if trying to hide himself, but in fact it was impossible.
The space in the carriage was so limited that no matter how much he hid, he would only be sitting opposite Hades and Song Qingqing.
Xiu had been observing Song Qingqing anxiously.
Hades's cold and indifferent eyes swept around the carriage, and then slowly fell on the poor thing in front of him. He suddenly asked, "What's your name?"
Song Qingqing, who was daydreaming, finally realized that she had taken the person away without even asking his name, so she also looked at Xiu.
The eyes of the man and the vampire were all on him. Xiu couldn't help but feel scared and nervous, with tears gathering in his eyes.
Hades frowned slightly and his expression turned cold.
Song Qingqing sensed Hades's impatience and quickly added softly, "Can you tell me?"
Xiu lowered his head and stammered, "Bette Xiu."
"From the Beth family, huh? It's a shame you didn't inherit the bloodline of the excellent Blood Hunter family." Hades commented mercilessly, "You're timid and weak. Compared to your brother, you're really..."
Song Qingqing heard Hades pause slightly, probably considering his words, feeling that he must not damage the upbringing and reputation of a pure-blooded noble.
Then Hades came up with a very polite and tactful, but even more sarcastic remark.
"It's really regrettable."
Hades leaned back in his chair, his long legs crossed, his hands overlapping and placed on the scepter that symbolized the honor of the Geshil family. He raised his chin slightly, his dark red eyes drooped, and he made a merciless assessment of the weak boy in front of him.
But Hades undoubtedly respected the young vampire hunter who dared to sneak into the dangerous territory of the vampires.
All brave and fearless sacrifices are worthy of respect.
From the moment Hades mentioned the Bet family, Song Qingqing saw Xiu's face begin to turn red, with crystal clear tears welling up in his eyes, but because Hades described him as timid and weak, he stubbornly held back the tears.
Xiu was silently denying what Hades said.
But deep down, he inappropriately thought of his poor brother who was forced to transform into a vampire monster, and he couldn't hold back his tears. He shouldn't be afraid of his brother, but when he saw his brother rushing towards him, he still felt fear instinctively.
Obviously... at that time, he clearly saw the sadness in his brother's red eyes, probably because he saw his frightened expression, or because he saw his beast-like appearance in his brother's eyes.
At that moment, Xiu felt that he should be the victim, a worthless waste.
When the Blood Hunting Association was choosing a pet for Lady Elizabeth, it was actually him who was chosen, but his brother took his place and suggested that Lady Elizabeth might prefer a young man like him with an artistic disguise.
The elder brother proposed that as the price of being an undercover pet, the Blood Hunting Association could not send his younger brother to the church to please those priests.
But what did he do?
He was born with a weak body, unable to become a powerful vampire hunter, nor could he learn the light power of the Bible. All he did every day was sit in the studio, bask in the sun, and paint some pictures.
Tears welled up in his eyes, and the blond, blue-eyed boy curled up into a ball. His heart began to ache, and he let out a painful, suppressed sob.
Looking very pitiful, Song Qingqing bit her lip and raised her eyes calmly to look at Hades beside her. There was no trace of pity in the eyes of this pure-blooded prince, and it could even be said that he was slightly indifferent, because he just glanced at her lightly and then raised his eyelids and looked away.
As if nothing happened.
Song Qingqing suddenly thought of what Percy mentioned. She thought that when the Geshier family was in power struggle, Hades might have looked at Percy, the so-called "loser", with such eyes.
At this moment, she suddenly realized how lethal such a look was.
Verbal disdain and insults cannot compare to such indifference and disregard, because the other party does not even take you seriously.
Song Qingqing also noticed that Hades seemed to talk more tonight than usual. Was it because he drank red wine? That was the most popular drink at the vampire banquet.
Song Qingqing carefully moved closer and gently sniffed the scent on his body. In addition to the cold and low-key woody scent, there were also a few faint wisps of red wine aroma with the fruity aroma of grapes.
These aromas blend together, making people want to get closer and smell them carefully.
Just when Song Qingqing thought that the other party couldn't notice her, she raised her eyes and looked directly into Hades's eyes.
Song Qingqing: “…”
The mature and calm vampire just lowered his eyes, staring at her quietly with an indescribable dark look.
"What are you smelling?"
Hades didn't say that her sneaky little action was rude or anything, but waited patiently for her answer.
Song Qingqing's whole face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, and the tips of her ears were red as if blood was about to drip out. She lowered her head suddenly, and when she wanted to step back, Hades raised his hand and put his arm around her waist, picked her up and sat her on his lap.
The tip of his tall nose seemed to accidentally brush against the girl's fair and slender neck skin, and his eyes were dim.
Song Qingqing subconsciously struggled twice to go back, but when she felt the cold thing pressing under her pumpkin pants, she froze instantly and dared not move.
Now Song Qingqing could be sure and certain that Hades must have been drunk at the banquet.
But can vampires get drunk? Can a dead body be intoxicated by alcohol?
Song Qingqing was thinking aimlessly, but all her fanciful thoughts were interrupted by Hades' next action. His fingertips were stroking the laces on her waist patiently. She lowered her head and saw the black ribbons wrapped around his slender pale fingers.
He was waiting for himself to answer his question.
Her fair cheeks flushed red. She bit her lip, lowered her head, and answered him softly, "Lord Hades smells very special."
Her fingertips that were stroking the black ribbon stopped, and in the silence, she heard the man suddenly chuckle, right next to her ear.
This was the first time that Song Qingqing heard Hades' laughter like this. It felt like an older and more mature vampire teasing his lover, making people's heartbeat uncontrollably slow down.
Such predators are undoubtedly very dangerous.
The strength of biting her lips unconsciously increased a bit, but was stopped by Hades. He pressed the girl's bright red lower lip with his cold thumb, and pressed the knuckle of his index finger against her neat white teeth, and pressed his tongue with the tip of his finger.
"If I bite it, in this enclosed space, I can't guarantee I won't lose control." Hades patiently and carefully smeared the watery light on his fingertips on the girl's lips, as if caressing the shallow teeth marks. Then he withdrew his hand and continued, "Sif, you don't want this to happen either, right?"
After all, danger was lurking right beneath her, just a layer away, but it was completely hidden by the complicated and heavy skirt.
And Percy was just outside.
Noticing that the hint of annoyance that had just appeared between Hades's eyebrows had disappeared, Song Qingqing turned around to look at the young boy who was curled up in a ball with a pale face and cold sweat, and whispered her request.
"That child seems to be in great pain. Could you please ask a servant to take him out?"
Hades said nothing.
Song Qingqing thought for a moment and added, her delicate tone like a willful child, "I don't want my toys to break."
Hades then hummed and raised his hand to knock on the carriage window.
The carriage stopped immediately.
Hades glanced at Song Qingqing's uneasy expression indifferently, and said lightly: "Percy, come in."
When Hades heard the name Percy, he keenly noticed the almost imperceptible tremor of the girl in his arms, who seemed very nervous.
The dark red eyes closed slightly, hiding the dark and unclear color in them.
Of course he heard Percy's dissuasion of her in the lounge.
This is a bit over the line, Hades thought indifferently, after all, this is the child he is about to perform the first embrace ceremony with.
Hades suddenly raised his hand and took off the black gauze hat that Song Qingqing had put back on her head. His cold white fingertips inadvertently hooked off the jewel necklace around her neck. The movement was so light and fast that Song Qingqing didn't even notice that the necklace had slipped onto the carpet.
The long, messy black hair, the snow-white shoulders and neck, and the gorgeous skirt add a touch of easily noticeable charm to this enclosed space.
When Percy came in, he saw the girl trapped in Hades' arms, and the slender hand that could easily control her...
She hid her face in the other's broad chest, as if she felt guilty and didn't want to face herself.
However, the silver-haired, red-eyed vampire sighed softly in her heart. She didn't need to feel uneasy or afraid, because it was never her who was so innocent and gentle, but these evil vampires who were strong and predatory.
Percy paused slightly, but quickly returned to his usual gentle and elegant demeanor, looking away and lowering his head.
"My Lord Prince, is there anything I can do for you?"
Song Qingqing was undoubtedly more nervous when she heard Percy's voice, and she felt more at a loss. She couldn't help but gently clutch Hades's collar with her hands.
Just a short while ago, Percy had confessed his entire past to him, including Hades's dominance and indifference, and the shadow it had cast on him. But now...
Hades did not answer immediately, but observed Percy's expression for a moment with an expressionless face. He looked calm, and the mask of gentleness and kindness was flawless, which could be called perfect, just like usual.
So he withdrew his gaze and gave a cold look at the human who was curled up on the ground, breathing rapidly.
"Take this human out and get a priest for Sif when we return to the manor."
"Yes," he replied.
Percy squatted down and picked up Xiu from the ground, then walked out quietly, as calmly as if he had seen nothing and nothing had happened.
After leaving the enclosed space, Percy asked other servants to put the blond human boy down. He took a deep breath to calm the surging emotions in his heart.
Percy, who was sitting outside the carriage, looked up at the distant sky. As dawn approached, the sky took on a chaotic, sticky, and glued color, with a hint of dark blood color, like blood that had been torn apart and flowing out.
His long silver hair fell down as he raised his head, emitting a cold luster.
Suddenly, Percy lowered his head and looked helplessly at the pinch marks on his palms that were gradually healing. Those were the pinch marks he had just made in the carriage in an attempt to suppress his emotions. Fortunately, the purebloods healed quickly enough and no signs of it showed.
Percy looked at his wound and sighed sadly, purebloods are really like monsters.
The fragile girl is surrounded by monsters and beasts that have an instinctive desire for blood. It is no different from being surrounded by a pack of wolves, but vampires are even more sinful creatures than wolves.
They are evil and beautiful, yet powerful enough. They have absolutely no sense of morality or ethics. It can even be said that their actions that violate morality and ethics can bring such monsters even more crazy pleasure, constantly stimulating their nerves and giving the cold corpses the illusion of being alive.
Disgusting, that was Percy's constant assessment.
He wanted to take her away.
Like a fairy tale, going to a quiet and beautiful town, she would become a lovely flower shop girl, and he would become a businessman who often patronized the flower shop. It seemed like a good idea.
Percy suddenly laughed.
