Chapter 292- Gloomy Blood Servant vs. Obsessive Vampire Prince (25)
The person across from her walked slowly toward her, the oppressive aura of the third-generation blood tribe weighing heavily upon her, making Julia feel completely breathless.
At no other time had Julia regretted her actions more than now.
She hadn’t anticipated that Mu Jin’s strength could be so monstrous, that even the seductive flower, which was said to be irresistible even to the so-called king of the blood tribe, could not overcome his will.
What a terrifying existence this was! Why had she plotted against him and provoked his authority?
The man before her looked at her with a cold gaze, and his usually emotionless eyes were now filled with overwhelming anger.
Then, with just a glance, Mu Jin made Julia feel as if her neck was being tightly gripped by someone. She was lifted into the air by an invisible force, each bone in her limbs being crushed little by little.
Julia couldn’t help but scream loudly in agony, writhing in pain yet unable to move. If it weren’t for her momentary greed, attempting to realize the ambitions hidden in her heart, she would not have ended up in such a predicament. Blood tears streamed down Julia’s face as she looked at Mu Jin, her eyes filled with pleading and fear.
However, Mu Jin remained unmoved. His blood surged within him, and he felt an intense desire to kill this woman immediately. But he didn’t act on that impulse; he couldn’t let her off so easily.
At this point, Mu Jin also realized what she had done to him. The seductive flower was essentially unsolvable; it could completely control a blood tribe member’s rationality.
If it weren’t for his soul being stronger than the dimension’s, and the continuous input of energy from 003 warning and suppressing him, Mu Jin would likely have been touched by this disgusting woman.
Having the original owner’s memories, Mu Jin naturally understood what the seductive flower represented and did not miss the lust in that woman’s eyes when she looked at him. If it had been someone else instead of him, losing his power would have meant becoming this woman’s plaything.
The blood tribe had countless ways to survive; it was even hard to imagine wanting to die.
D*mn it!
Except for his lover, no one! No one could touch him casually!
No one could force him to make any actions that betrayed his lover, whether actively or passively!
The other party undoubtedly touched a sore spot for Mu Jin.
After crushing all the bones of this woman, Mu Jin proceeded to sever her tendons. Julia truly felt that Mu Jin intended to torture her. The self-healing ability of a fourth-generation blood tribe member was strong; even if her bones and tendons were broken, she could still heal herself.
But if Mu Jin truly wanted her life, she would be doomed. Realizing this, Julia immediately shouted at Mu Jin, “Master, don’t kill me! Spare me! I have the Sacred Contract!”
“What did you say?” Mu Jin’s face darkened, but he paused his actions due to her words.
Seeing this, Julia finally breathed a sigh of relief. The makeup on her face had been smeared together with blood tears and sweat, completely losing her original beauty. She took a deep breath, feeling very fortunate to still have a trump card.
Although Mu Jin’s search for the Sacred Contract had been discreet, the core figures of the Malkavian clan still knew about it. Julia had appeared at that auction because of the Sacred Contract; she had even obtained it in advance.
Initially, Julia vaguely guessed that Mu Jin wanted the Sacred Contract for Huangfu Yu, which made her even more unwilling to accept it. She felt that someone like Mu Jin was completely unfit to be their leader; he was too emotional.
Thinking back to the time when Mu Jin taught her a lesson because of Huangfu Yu, she took the Sacred Contract without permission out of anger. She convinced herself that if she didn’t contract with Mu Jin, his powers wouldn’t weaken, which would be beneficial for the Malkavian clan. Little did she expect that this thing would become her lifeline at this moment.
“Where is it?” Mu Jin squinted his eyes and looked at Julia with a dangerous gaze.
Julia was now drenched in cold sweat but dared not hesitate. After softly reciting a few runes, the already recognized Sacred Contract was easily summoned by her.
Mu Jin grasped the golden scroll that appeared before him and quickly discerned that it was indeed the true Sacred Contract. There were no significant protective formations on the contract; after all, its sole purpose was to establish contracts between the blood tribe and humans.
He easily erased the mark that Julia had left on the Sacred Contract and replaced it with his own before sending the contract back to its own space.
Only then did Mu Jin lower his head and look expressionlessly at the near-death Julia. Because of the Sacred Contract, he no longer intended to continue torturing her. Instead, he simply raised his right hand and slowly clenched his fist.
Accompanying Mu Jin’s movements, Julia, who was already on the verge of unconsciousness from the torment, immediately let out a piercing scream, as if her very soul was being stripped away.
It was over for her! Julia knew she was completely finished.
At this moment, she was no longer the proud fourth-generation blood tribe member she used to be. Why had she truly gotten carried away and forgotten that her bloodline could be stripped away?
Her current strength was even inferior to that of the lowest-ranked blood servant, and her injuries were such that she could no longer rely on herself to heal.
Looking at Julia, who lay on the ground, her body twisted beyond recognition, Mu Jin struggled to stabilize himself and left the room. He could no longer stay in this space; that woman still carried the scent of the seductive flower, and he couldn’t let any other blood tribe members get close to him.
The door was tightly locked, but the effects of the drug on him were hard to shake off. He had never thought that there would be a potion he couldn’t completely untangle from his system; this dimension didn’t seem friendly to him.
For a moment, Mu Jin felt a bit lost, but he kept reminding himself to hold on, to endure until the moment his lover came to find him.
On the other side, Huangfu Yu, after patiently listening to Mu Jin’s explanation, verbally agreed, but he still felt uneasy deep down. As a human, he had never heard of anything like Blood Moon Day, but he knew just how powerful Mu Jin was.
Since Mu Jin felt uneasy about such a day, how could Huangfu Yu not worry?
So even though Mu Jin had already advised him beforehand, Huangfu Yu still decided to return to the estate. Even if he had to hide from a distance, he wanted to see how Mu Jin was doing.
However, as soon as Huangfu Yu arrived at the estate, he noticed that the atmosphere was very unusual. Although he knew Mu Jin had mentioned it before, he hadn’t expected that only ordinary people were left at the estate, with not a single blood tribe member in sight.
The blood tribe members must be afraid of the agitation in their blood, especially the lower-tiered ones, who found it even harder to control their sanity on Blood Moon Day. So they had all obediently stayed in their residences to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.
Because the servants in the mansion were familiar with Huangfu Yu, and since Mu Jin had instructed them to treat Huangfu Yu as if he were Mu Jin himself, Huangfu Yu could move freely throughout the mansion and the industries related to the Mu family without any hindrance.
When he entered the mansion, the unease in his heart not only did not subside but grew even stronger. He suspected that Mu Jin might be in their room, so he headed in that direction.
However, as he walked down the corridor, he saw Mu Jin, who was staggering and seemed about to collapse. The young blood clan member looked quite out of sorts, as if he were enduring something.
Huangfu Yu’s concern for his beloved immediately took precedence, and he hurried to Mu Jin’s side. He grasped Mu Jin’s shoulders and anxiously asked, “Xiao Jin, what’s wrong? What happened?”
At the same time, he caught a whiff of a strange scent coming from Mu Jin, which made him feel quite uncomfortable. However, the enchanting flower only affected blood clan members, and for an ordinary person like Huangfu Yu, he could only smell its fragrance.
Even so, upon seeing Mu Jin’s flushed face and how he immediately threw himself into Huangfu Yu’s arms, kissing him passionately, Huangfu Yu quickly sensed that something was off with him.
Huangfu Yu gently stroked Mu Jin’s neck to soothe him, but felt beads of sweat forming there. Mu Jin’s shirt was completely soaked through with sweat, and it was clear from his voice that he was not in a state of restrained pain—he had been drugged.
Then, Huangfu Yu heard Julia’s pained moans coming from Mu Jin’s room, not far from where they stood.
If Huangfu Yu had only made some guesses about Mu Jin’s condition when he first caught a whiff of his scent, he could now be certain that Julia had done something to his beloved after hearing her voice coming from their room.
The painful sounds emanating from the room indicated that she had not succeeded in her plans. After all, although Mu Jin’s clothes were somewhat wrinkled, they did not appear disheveled. It seemed that the woman in the room had failed to achieve her goal.
Even so, Huangfu Yu felt a surge of anger. He had been away from Mu Jin for just one day, and already his beloved had been schemed against by someone else.
Why? Why are there always so many people trying to steal his treasures?
The person in his arms continued to twist and turn restlessly, and Huangfu Yu did not stop Mu Jin. He held the young man tenderly, though his eyes remained icy. Only when he looked down at the person in his arms did a hint of warmth return to his gaze.
His beloved was suffering, and as the man who loved him most, how could he bear to see him in pain?
With that thought, Huangfu Yu curled his lips into a smile. He leaned down and gently kissed the crown of Mu Jin’s head, then lifted him up horizontally and carried him to another room not far away.
The mansion was large, and there were many vacant rooms. To make things convenient for Huangfu Yu, Mu Jin had arranged for two private offices to be set up, although Huangfu Yu had always preferred to stay by Mu Jin’s side and never used them.
So he carried Mu Jin into the unused room, closed the door securely behind them.
