She tightly clutched Arthur’s clothes.
Arthur remained suspended in the air. For now, he had no plans to land.
His voice was exceedingly gentle, like a viper flicking its tongue.
“Say it ba, who is the man who approached you in school?”
He smelled the breath of another male, a human, on her body.
He had to have been extremely close to her to leave behind such a strong scent.
Bai Weiwei buried her head in his arms. Gritting her teeth, she answered shakily, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. There were too many people who approached me today. Everyone was trying to please me. They couldn’t wait to stick to me, just to obtain your favor.”
Arthur frowned. “My favor.”
Bai Weiwei jerked her head up, quaking fear still lingering in her eyes. She drew her lips up in an unsightly smile.
“Yeah, Your Highness the Prince’s favor. As your blood slave, aren’t I the best target to please? Some people even pounced on me, just to obtain news about you coming out.”
Arthur recalled that in order to become Blood Kin, humans would slaughter their family and friends.
It was indeed possible they would constantly stick to and flatter her.
So that scent on her was from some ignorant human who stuck to her in order to climb up?
His fingers pressed to her back could still feel her trembling from fear.
Pity welled forth in his heart.
“This was a prank we Blood Kin often play. We sometimes give our mates a surprise, such as pushing her off a tall building and catching them again. Then the female would feel very happy.
He was talking about Blood Kin females.
Bai Weiwei: Your stupid and sick joke nearly scared me into revealing my true face.
Arthur saw that she had been truly frightened. He pondered for a moment, then suddenly tilted his head, revealing his neck.
“I’ll let you bite.”
Bai Weiwei looked at him as though he was mentally disabled.
Arthur patiently explained, “If your mate is angry, let her bite a few times, and she will be happy.”
Bai Weiwei finally caught on to something strange in his words. “Mate?”
Arthur observed her, calm on the surface, but a complicated mix of expectation and hesitance swirled in his eyes.
“Tonight, there is a Holy Blood Banquet. The thirteen Elders and all the nobles will be attending. If you have a mate, you must bring them as well.”
Bai Weiwei looked lost.
Arthur’s voice was soft but firm. “Tonight, you will accompany me.”
Bai Weiwei: “I don’t…”
Arthur didn’t allow any refusal and even denied her a chance to speak as he coldly lifted his chin.
“Say no, and I will pull another prank.”
His arms loosened, as though he was going to throw her off.
Bai Weiwei immediately shrieked, “I’ll attend! I’ll definitely attend!”
Arthur tightened his grip and smiled smugly. “It seems you’re looking forward to the banquet as well. Let’s go back ba.”
Bai Weiwei was hugged with so much strength she nearly choked.
She spat to the system: “Remind me not to be soft-hearted when I abuse this bastard in the future.”
System: “When were you softhearted?”
Bai Weiwei pondered for a moment. That’s right, when has her heart ever been soft?
The Holy Blood Banquet was the Blood Kin’s most important banquet.
All the most powerful and most noble Blood Kin would be present.
After the banquet, the Holy Blood Conference would begin, where they would elect a true leader.
Arthur was considered the Blood Kin most likely to become the leader.
Therefore, his presence was extremely prominent.
In particular, the human next to him was even more eye-catching, because in this sort of occasion, it wasn’t appropriate for humans to appear.
Arthur brought a human… mate?
He confidently entered the banquet in this manner.
