Relieved that Ming Li had finally stopped, Liu Yuan quickly took out his small mirror and checked his face. Seeing no injuries, he let out a deep sigh of relief.
Looking up, he met Ming Li's gaze and promptly began to recount the events.
"I actually heard about it by chance from the Vampire Queen. A long time ago, a bloodline witch named Danya made a wild prophecy stating that the current Queen was not the true Queen. The true Queen was actually the current Queen's child, and that child bore a blood-red lotus... Her Majesty was furious and, in her rage, had Queen Danya executed.
From then on, the Queen's temper became unpredictable, always viewing her child with suspicion. Later, the witch's prophecy came true; Her Majesty indeed had a child, and that child bore a blood-red lotus..." Liu Yuan paused midway, meeting Ming Li's gaze, and continued, "And that child... is you."
Ming Li nodded. "And then?"
"Upon learning this news, Her Majesty flew into a rage. She considered strangling you but for some reason, ultimately didn't. Instead, she sealed you away, in a terrifying place, meant to be eternally banished..."
Ming Li narrowed her eyes, understanding dawning on her.
The Vampire Queen knew she was a fake, and in her shame and anger, she had acted...
Tsk~ Is that all?
Having learned what she wanted to know, Ming Li asked the system, "Is the mission complete?"
The system was taken aback and quickly scrambled through the system interface. After a moment, it replied, "This mission is completed."
Ming Li nodded with satisfaction and directly twisted the man's neck in front of her.
With a "crack," the man's eyes widened in disbelief, filled with terror, as if he couldn't fathom that Ming Li had ended his life so easily.
"What the hell! Host! What are you doing! That's your father!"
Hearing the system, Ming Li's lips twitched, and she coldly emphasized, "You're mistaken. That is the original host's father, not mine."
The system: "......Aren't you afraid the original host will come back from the dead to find you?"
Ming Li raised an eyebrow. "If she comes back, all the better."
The system: "......"
After dealing with Liu Yuan, Ming Li rode her sword towards the direction of the magic castle.
Seeing Ming Li return, Danya knelt on the ground, "Welcome back, Your Majesty."
Ming Li waved her hand. "Within half an hour, summon all the clan members. I have something to say." As she spoke, Ming Li looked at Danya, her voice devoid of any emotion, and reiterated, "Remember, all of them."
Danya placed one hand over her chest and bowed, "Yes, my Queen!"
Half an hour later, all the vampires had gathered at the magic castle, stunned at the woman seated on the throne.
Some of the younger vampires shouted at Ming Li, "How dare you! Who are you? Why are you sitting in the Queen's place? Where is Her Majesty?"
The long-absent witch Danya had found them, saying the Queen had returned and wanted to see them, so they had come, but where was the Queen?
As for some of the older vampires, their knees buckled upon meeting Ming Li's gaze. They knelt down and cried out, "We welcome Your Majesty's return!"
The younger vampires were shocked by this scene. Seeing the high-ranking vampires kneel, they also followed suit.
