"You will only be a blood-supplying slave for the rest of your life."
Doris stood beside Mary Jane, the corners of her lips slanted to one side, and her eyes were full of contempt and disdain. After saying these words, she turned to look at Su Jinzhi: "But I am the same as cousin Josh. They all flow the noble blood of the Hillier family, and I can taste different flavors of nectar with cousin Josh every day."
Doris's words almost made it clear that you and I are a natural pair of demons who love to drink human blood.
Su Jinzhi glanced at Mengde from the corner of his eye, and found that his complexion was not very good. That's right, as the Holy Master of the Temple of Light, he couldn't catch the vampires he wanted to hunt down, and now he must helplessly watch two people discussing the matter of drinking human blood in front of him. Su Jinzhi suddenly felt that his additional task of punishing the world was far away from being completed.
And standing next to him, Reeves was in a bad mood, after all, the drama between these two women fighting for a man was too bloody, not to mention that the man they were fighting for was still his lover.
Mary Jane's figure swayed after Doris said these words, her face was pale, her upper teeth tightly bit her lower lip, it could be seen that her mood was extremely unstable.
Seeing her appearance, Su Jinzhi sighed softly in his heart, and decided to open his mouth. He looked up at Doris, and said, "Sorry, Doris. I don't think we are suitable to live together. .”
"Why? Cousin Josh." Doris was stunned for a moment, but soon softened her expression, put away all the arrogance she had when facing Mary Jane, frowned, bit her lips and muttered , "Is it because of Mary Jane? But I can help you take care of things in the castle, and Mary Jane, she is just a slave! She can't help you with anything, Cousin Josh."
Doris became agitated as she spoke, her green eyes were filled with tears, she looked so pitiful, making Su Jinzhi look like a scum who abandoned her. But Su Jinzhi was still unmoved, he said: "Everything in the castle is taken care of by Reeves, I just don't want people who don't belong here to live in the castle for a long time."
Originally, Josh Hillier was a very indifferent person. He always did things as he wanted, and he didn't care about the world's comments on him. Su Jinzhi had already given Doris a lot of face by adhering to the gentleman's etiquette, so he politely rejected her and wanted to change her. As Josh Hillier, I'm afraid he will say "I don't want to marry you" and other words that don't show mercy to women.
"What about Mary Jane?!" Doris suddenly looked at Mary Jane, pointing at her, "Can she stay in your cousin's castle forever?"
"As you said, my cousin." Su Jinzhi smiled and said to Doris, "She is my slave. If she doesn't stay in the castle, where else can she go?"
Hearing what he said, Doris could only sit back in her seat. She looked annoyed and was obviously holding her breath, but what Su Jinzhi replied to her was what she said when she used to humiliate Mary Jane, and she couldn't find a refute at all. Su Jinzhi's reason.
Su Jinzhi didn't pay attention to this breakfast incident at all, and it was forgotten in a blink of an eye. He thought that he had made it so clear that Doris should leave Black Swan Castle soon, but Just because he doesn't care doesn't mean everyone doesn't care.
As soon as breakfast was over, Reeves took him to the study.
When Su Jinzhi was kissed by Reeves on the mahogany table, for some reason, he remembered Song Mingxuan's "tuition" for him in the study in the previous world, and couldn't help but hugged Reeves' neck and laughed.
"Lord Josh is happy?" Reeves stopped and bit Su Jinzhi's earlobe lightly.
"Aren't you happy?" Su Jinzhi lay on his back and looked at him, and took the initiative to stick out the tip of his tongue to lick Reeves' chin, "She won't bother us anymore."
"Oh, but Master Josh and Miss Mary Jane." Reeves remained unmoved, and lowered his head to suck the tip of Su Jinzhi's tongue that was about to retract for a while.
Su Jinzhi gasped for breath and said vaguely: "But... the person Mary Jane likes is you."
"Master Josh is really a skilled liar." Reeves slightly raised the corners of his lips, stared at Su Jinzhi with deep eyes, and flexed his fingers down, piercing the bottom of the overalls, "Just now Parlor, Miss Mary Jane would like to marry you very much."
Su Jinzhi shivered sensitively, and closed his eyes to bear the pressed kiss from Reeves: "If you are willing to wear women's clothing, I am willing to marry you."
"Lord Josh is really bad." Hearing the boy's mischief, the corners of Reeves' lips deepened, and then on the mahogany table, he showed Su Jinzhi the consequences of his mischief.
So Su Jinzhi's butt began to hurt again, but he felt as happy as soaking in a honey pot, and wished that his butt hurt for a few more days.
Mary Jane started packing her luggage to go back to the capital the next day. But as soon as she left, another person came from the imperial capital.
The man was so tightly wrapped that no trace of exposed skin could be seen, and when he got out of the carriage, he asked the servant to hold an umbrella for him to prevent any sunlight from shining on him.
Black Swan Castle is now full of patrolling Templar Paladins and Su Jinzhi's patrolling army. Suddenly, I saw such a suspicious person appearing near the castle. If it wasn't for the carriage he was riding with the palace logo and the emperor's handwritten document, Everyone thought he was a vampire and almost arrested him.
But even if he was not arrested, the man was still surrounded by paladins and patrolling troops, and sent to Su Jinzhi.
"Hey, take it easy!" The man complained softly when he was being pushed by the paladins, and when he saw Su Jin who was served by Reeves eating apples in the living room, his eyes lit up, and he wrapped all the white cloths around his body. Shaking off, he smiled and walked towards Su Jinzhi, shouting loudly: "Brother!"
Su Jinzhi listened to what he called himself, and almost choked to death with a bite of diced apple stuck in his throat.
He opened his eyes and looked at this person carefully, and was stunned at this sight—because this person looked so much like the dead old Josh. He has the obvious appearance of the Hillier family—brown hair and green eyes, and his face can barely be called handsome. If there is anything he looks like from the Hillier family, it is that his skin is too smooth .
The people in the Hillier family are not like Josh Hillier. They suffer from porphyria that is much more serious than Josh Hillier, and their skin's self-healing ability is very poor. The scars on the bottom will not disappear for life, so the people of the Hillier family are actually not very good-looking.
But this man's skin is not delicate and even a little rough, but it is still smooth and flat, not at all like other Hillier family members.
What kind of game is this
Su Jinzhi looked at him suspiciously: "Who are you?"
"I'm your brother." The man stopped and blinked at Su Jinzhi, "My name is Aidan Hillier."
Josh Hillier never had such a brother in his memory.
Although old Josh was fickle, he only dared to mess with the maids in the castle. He had produced other illegitimate children and daughters, but they would usually be killed by Mrs. Mary before they lived long. Little Josh was the only one. survived.
So when this man named Aidan Hillier said this, Su Jinzhi could almost conclude that he was a liar. But how did such a crook end up in the Leeds Mountains in a carriage bearing the palace badge? He also has the emperor's autograph.
Could it be that the emperor saw that Doris could not surrender him, so he changed his routine
"Number one, what's going on here? Isn't he from the Hillier family?" Su Jinzhi tried to call the next number, "The emperor's new move?"
"Well." No. 1 quickly responded to him, "Josh Hillier is not easy to control, so the emperor has been secretly asking if there are any men from the Hillier family who are living outside, and now Doris is being held by you again. If you drive away, the emperor has to find another person to approach you."
"He is really unwilling to give up." Su Jinzhi sighed, thinking that the emperor really missed his magic stone mine.
No. 1 reminded him: "Be careful these two days."
"I know." Su Jinzhi nodded. Since the emperor has let his "brother" come to Black Swan Castle, maybe he will send some other killers here. Black Swan Castle has not been peaceful recently. Even if he is dead, the emperor has reason to say that he was killed by the blood clan Dead, and then let his elder brother Aidang inherit the title of the Hillier family, so as to control the huge magic stone mine in the Leeds Mountains.
Thinking of this, Su Jinzhi was suddenly a little curious about how this Aidang deceived the emperor, making the emperor believe that he was a member of the Hillier family, and let him be an important part of this conspiracy. After all, if he really died, the magic stone mine in the Leeds Mountains would never be opened again. If the emperor knew that this man was a liar, he would probably die of anger, right
"Are you my brother?" The boy on the armrest was unexpectedly not angry, but instead smiled and looked at Aidan with a smile.
Aidang also didn't expect Su Jinzhi to give him a good look. After all, Josh Hillier's original reputation of brutality was there, so he saw that Su Jinzhi was so kind, but for a moment he didn't know how to answer Su Jinzhi's question, and was stunned. It took a few seconds before continuing to speak: "Yes."
As he spoke, Aidan rolled up his own sleeves, revealing the scarred arms under the clothes: "I'm the same as you, brother, we can't touch the sun."
Su Jinzhi looked at him, and the arm was indeed covered with blood scabs, very similar to the appearance of a porphyria patient after being sunburned by the ultraviolet rays in the sun, but No. 1 quickly told Su Jinzhi that these wounds were all caused by Aidang himself poked with a red-hot iron needle.
The emperor has been secretly looking for other people who have the blood of the Hillier family, but he didn't say what he was looking for. In order to make the lie perfect, Aidang must create some believable wounds on his body.
"He's not your brother, Master Josh." Su Jinzhi hadn't decided whether to expose this man's identity as a liar, but Reeves, who was standing beside him, bent down and whispered in his ear to remind him.
"How do you know?" Su Jinzhi asked him.
"It can be smelled, this is the talent of the blood race." Reeves rubbed his lips against his ear, "He doesn't smell of the blood of the Hillier family."
Hearing what Reeves said, Su Jinzhi wanted to keep Aidang even more. Besides, he has no evidence to prove that Aidan is lying. Since the emperor let Aidan ride in a carriage with the palace logo and gave him his own writing, he must let Aidang stay in Black Swan Castle.
"You will protect me, right?" Su Jinzhi turned his head and hooked the corner of his lips at Reeves, "You know why he came here."
With the same gentleness on his face, Reeves also smiled: "Of course, I will protect you."
When Aidang saw Su Jinzhi staring at the wound on his arm carefully, he thought he had found something wrong, and felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he didn't expect that Su Jinzhi let him stay in the castle without saying anything, and gave him the best Waiting for the aristocrats to entertain, Ai Dang still felt like he was in an illusory dream when he walked into the luxurious room that he could never live in.
He waved his hand to let all the maids who served him leave, and bounced carefully on the carpet a few times to confirm that the heavy woven carpet under his feet was real. During the movement, he accidentally pulled the wound on his arm, and immediately grinned in pain.
"So easy?" He frowned, with a smile on his face, and muttered to himself in disbelief. He stroked his cracked arm and took a few deep breaths before calming down.
At this moment, Ai Dang suddenly felt that pretending to be an illegitimate child of a nobleman was not a difficult task.
But when it was time for dinner, Aidang looked at the big bowl full of human blood placed in front of him, and realized that it might not be that difficult to pretend to be an illegitimate child of a nobleman, but it was definitely not that difficult to pretend to be an illegitimate child of the Hillier family. Easy.
One of the first prerequisites is to learn to drink human blood first.
The taste of blood is very fishy, with a little bit of salty rust, and it is not an easy task to drink a bowl raw.
"Brother, aren't you hungry?" Su Jinzhi looked at Aidang with a stiff expression with a smile. He would vomit after drinking a cup of blood when he didn't have seasoning benefits. Aidang is not from the Hillier family, so he must have never drank it directly before. He doesn't believe in drinking human blood or vomiting it. Su Jinzhi also specially emphasized his tone, reminding Aidang: "I specially prepared this for you."
"Then... thank you brother." Ai Dang took a deep breath, raised the bowl and took a sip of the sticky blood with holding his breath.
But after only one sip, Aidang couldn't swallow the second sip.
"Is it good? Brother." Seeing his expression, Su Jinzhi almost didn't laugh, but he quickly put on a sad expression, "Oh, it's a pity that the blood wine in my collection was stolen recently, otherwise I I can ask my brother to taste more flavors of blood."
Seeing Su Jinzhi's words, Aidang quickly took the opportunity to put down the blood bowl to comfort him: "This is really sad, but brother, don't be too sad. I heard that there is a collection in your castle, and her blood is also very sad." tasty."
"You mean Mary Jane, right?" Su Jinzhi raised his crystal goblet, took a sip of the red liquid inside and put it down, "This is her blood, do you want to taste it? Brother." Mary Jane took the initiative to donate blood to him again today, but to be honest, Su Jinzhi didn't want to drink her blood anymore, because the sweet and sweet taste in it was gone.
When Ai Dang heard that Su Jinzhi wanted to ask him to drink blood again, he immediately waved his hand and refused, pointing to a large bowl of blood in front of him and said, "No need, these are enough for me. Thank you brother."
"Then drink quickly, brother." Su Jinzhi urged him, "It's true that the maids only filled my brother with such a little blood."
"Hehehe...that's a lot..." Aidang's complexion changed, and his smile became more rigid. He was thinking about whether he should hold his breath and drink the bowl of blood directly, or find some reason to prevaricate it. Seeing a pale-faced maid hurried into the living room, she leaned over to the boy's personal servant and said something, and the servant's face became more serious after listening.
"What's wrong?" Su Jinzhi also saw the maid.
"Lord Josh..." Reeves frowned and lowered his voice, "The waiter next to Miss Doris said that they were attacked by blood clans on the way back to the imperial capital, but fortunately they encountered the Holy Knight army from the temple, Now on the way back to the castle."
Doris just left for a short time, and now she's coming back
Before Su Jinzhi had time to digest the news, he heard a lot of movement from the entrance of the hall, and turned his head to see that Doris was already running towards him crying.
"Cousin... woo..." Doris was wrapped in a heavy cloak, which looked like it was put on temporarily. The skirt she wore when she left in the morning was now covered with mud and blood, and half of it was exposed from under the cloak, looking dilapidated. Although Su Jinzhi didn't intend to marry her, he was still her cousin in name anyway, so he could only get up from his chair to catch Doris.
"What's the matter, my cousin." Su Jinzhi raised his hand to press down on her shoulder, but only gently supported her without hugging her.
Doris's eyes were red, and transparent tears kept sliding down her cheeks like threads. She opened her mouth and was about to say something, but when she glanced at Reeves, her eyes widened suddenly, and she grabbed Su Jinzhi again and again. fall back.
Seeing her like this, Su Jinzhi also frowned: "Doris?"
"Miss Doris!" Mond followed closely to the hall, and when Doris saw him appear, she dragged Su Jinzhi and ran behind Mond as if seeing a savior.
"Master Mond! Devil! That devil!" Doris shrank behind Mond tremblingly, looking at Reeves in horror.
Reeves still had a decent smile on his face, but his eyebrows were slightly frowned to show his doubts: "Miss Doris? What are you talking about?"
"Stop pretending! I've seen it all!" Doris poked her head out from behind Mond, yelled at him sternly, and grabbed Su Jinzhi tightly to prevent him from walking towards Reeves, "Cousin, You must not believe what this demon says."
"I haven't said anything yet, Miss Doris." Reeves said helplessly.
"What are you talking about? Doris." Su Jinzhi shook off Doris' hand, rubbed his wrist and asked her, "What's wrong with Reeves?"
"Reeves almost killed me..." Doris covered her mouth and cried miserably, "He killed my maid and the guards... If Master Evans hadn't rushed to save me, he might not even I killed it too!"
"Impossible." As soon as Doris finished speaking, Su Jinzhi immediately denied it. Reeves had been by his side and never left him for half a step. How could he chase Doris who had left Black Swan Castle? He and Doris have no enmity.
"Reeves is always by my side."
"No..." Mond interrupted Su Jinzhi aloud. He looked sternly and stared at Reeves seriously, "He is not Reeves."
Su Jinzhi was stunned when he heard what Mond said. He knew that Reeves was not a human, but a blood race, but what did Mond mean by this now
But he still didn't believe what Mond and Doris said: "Impossible, Reeves has been by my side for several years."
"My lord, the real Reeves is dead." Seeing that he didn't believe it, Mond frowned even more tightly, "The dark creatures lurking in your castle are too powerful, so I wrote to Knight Commander Yi Vance, ask him for help. Evans rescued Miss Doris on the way to the Leeds Mountains, and... found the body of Reeves. He was buried in the snow near the Leeds Mountains, shameless brutally ripped off…”
When Su Jinzhi heard this, goosebumps exploded on his body. He had seen the mask on Reeves's face before, but he didn't expect it to be real human skin. But there are many doubts in what Mond said, not to mention how the corpse was buried near the Leeds Mountains so coincidentally, and was discovered by the knight commander Evans. According to Reeves' character, he is even If you really killed the "Reeves" that Mond said, it would definitely destroy the body, and it would be impossible to leave such an obvious flaw.
"Enough, Mond." Su Jinzhi interrupted Mond, and was about to walk towards Reeves, "It's very rude of you to slander my most loyal servant like this."
"Cousin! You don't believe Lord Mond, don't you believe me?" Doris rushed over to hug his arm, and now there was a lot of blood on that little white face, Su Jinzhi thought it was her at first She was injured, but when he took a closer look, he found that it was really bloodstains, and there was no scar on her face.
