Let's Squander A Billion First!-Chapter 504 - Blood Clan Queen (34)
Chapter 504: Chapter 504 Blood Clan Queen (34)
No matter how the Blood Clan opposed, Chuzheng remained unmoved.
The Blood Clan, infuriated, picked the young and beautiful among them and sent them to Chuzheng.
At first, Chuzheng was quite amiable, sending them back where they came from.
Latterly, she became so irritated that she would hang them outside for days on end.
Utterly ruthless.
After that, no one from the Blood Clan was willing to approach her.
Compared to her, Zhi Kong was quite envied by the Blood Clan.
A Human, actually favored so by the Queen.
Zhi Kong, after all, was a young man, and once the weight of hatred was lifted from him, his nature seemed to revert to his youth.
He appeared much more cheerful.
And even more handsome…
October Sixteenth.
The entire ancient castle was in high celebratory spirits.
Today was Zhi Kong’s birthday, and it was also the wedding day of Chuzheng and Zhi Kong.
After half a year of tug-of-war, the Blood Clan compromised.
The first-ever Human King Consort was about to come into existence.
The wedding ceremony of the Blood Clan was not complicated at all.
Chuzheng felt it was even more informal than that of the Humans.
“Where is His Highness?”
“He was just here… Su Ji, where is His Highness?”
“What do you want with His Highness? Can’t you just have fun by yourselves?” Su Ji stopped those looking for His Highness from searching.
His Highness, too.
Couldn’t he have waited a little longer?
The guests haven’t even left yet!
–
At this moment, Chuzheng, whom everyone was searching for, was in her room.
Zhi Kong was changing his clothes by her side, having accidentally dirtied them earlier.
He had removed his white tailcoat, leaving only his undershirt.
Zhi Kong found a replacement garment in the wardrobe, and while putting it on, he approached Chuzheng, “I’m ready, shall we go down?”
“No, let’s not go down.”
“Your Highness…”
“I’m very hungry.”
–
Chuzheng, having eaten her fill and quenched her thirst, was so energetic she could bounce around.
Unfortunately, Zhi Kong was not.
Losing blood made him not want to move at all, leaving him soft and tender, curled up like a Little Cat.
Chuzheng picked him up: “Does it hurt?”
“Not really…” Zhi Kong’s voice was very low: “It’s not as bad as last time.”
Last time, there had only been dizziness and pain caused by blood loss.
But this time it was different…
“Would you like something to eat?”
Zhi Kong nodded after a while.
Chuzheng settled him and went downstairs to fetch something for him to eat.
The place had quieted down, and the entire castle seemed peaceful.
When Chuzheng arrived at Su Li’s room, she heard Su Li’s groggy voice.
The door wasn’t tightly shut, so Chuzheng looked around and sneaked a peek.
It’s not that I wanted to sneak a look.
It’s that the door wasn’t closed.
The room was dimly lit, barely revealing two figures.
A minute later, Chuzheng casually descended the stairs.
Su Ji’s habit of not closing doors properly needed to change!
I’ll talk to him tomorrow.

Chuzheng had previously instructed the kitchen to be ready with food, so when she went down, she took something and returned upstairs.
As she passed by Su Li’s room again, she noticed the door had been closed.
Ah.
“Ah…” I really can’t tell what Miss is sighing about with that ah.
Chuzheng turned on the light, placed the food aside, and then helped the young man to sit up.
Chuzheng handed the food to him.
He reached out to take it but had little strength, nearly spilling it.
Chuzheng had to hold it for him.
Zhi Kong looked at her.
Chuzheng looked back at him too.
They gazed at each other, wordless.
In the end, Zhi Kong was the first to look away, took the spoon, and ate by himself.
–
In the days that followed, Zhi Kong spent most of his time in his room—except for the occasional sunbathing, he seemed to recover just to fall into another cycle of recuperation.
Chuzheng even said his body was too weak…
It was clearly her fault!
Zhi Kong dared not blame her, so he could only eat more quietly to regain his strength.
“Your Highness, I want to leave here…”
“To do what?”
“I dreamt of my father.” Zhi Kong’s mood was not good.
“Will you come back?”
“With you here, where can I go?” Zhi Kong said: “I just want… to go and see them.”
Chuzheng was satisfied with Zhi Kong’s reply: “Hmm, I’ll go with you.”
Zhi Kong was slightly surprised: “I… I’ll come back, you don’t have to accompany me.”
“What if I get hungry when you’re not here?” How could I possibly let you leave alone! In your dreams!
Zhi Kong’s expression was a little awkward.
She meant more than just hunger.
Chuzheng took Zhi Kong away, returning to their former homeland.
Back then, Zhi Kong didn’t even have time to collect their remains.
Zhi Kong erected new grave markers for them.
“Father, I’m sorry.”
From his youth, he had learned how to confront the Blood Clan.
But now…
Zhi Kong stood before the grave markers for a long time.
Zhi Kong embraced Chuzheng from behind.
“Are you all right?”
“I like you, Your Highness.”
Chuzheng pulled away his hands, her glance brushing past the row of graves behind them, and she patted his head.
“Do you like me?”
“I do.”
The young man’s eyes and brows revealed a smile: “Your Highness, let’s go back.”
He could no longer wield the weapon in his hands, he had to abandon his identity, forsake everything, and accompany her in the Dark’s descent.
