Chapter 762: Chapter 762 No one in the Empire will agree with you!_1 Chapter 762: Chapter 762 No one in the Empire will agree with you!_1 Yen’an said, “Yes, don’t view us, inhabitants of Atlantis, as vampires. With the passing of time, the vampire bloodline has diluted to the point of being practically non-existent, ordinary people in fact. The vampire lineage is not just insignificant to the citizens of the empire, but also a burden, because it neither grants us immortality nor enhances our abilities, yet we cannot escape the thirst for blood! Half of the empire’s citizens cannot shake off the desire to drink blood. Fortunately, we discovered a type of red pearl growing in seagrass at the bottom of the sea, …”
Yen’an pulled out a red pearl from around his neck.
Ye Junqing knew of it, Xia Ye had one too. Ever since she agreed to use the red pearl to curb his blood drinking affliction, every time he fell ill, Xia Ye would always make him drink water steeped in the red pearl.
Bai Xiao said, “Although this red pearl can suppress the desire to drink blood, it also has hard-to-admit subsequent issues. It’s merely a symptomatic treatment after all. If we want half of the empire’s citizens to completely get rid of their blood craving, we can only rely on ancient books. Because the old king of the vampires said that only if the queen marries his successor, would he then present the empire with a radical cure as a betrothal gift…”
Despite all Bai Xiao said, his ultimate aim was just one – to dissuade Ye Junqing.
“So, Mr. Ye, if you plan to locate the vampires’ headquarters and prevent Jiushu from marrying the vampire prince, no one in the empire will agree to this! Not to mention, the vampires don’t even have a headquarters anymore.”
So, as long as he was the vampire prince, there would be no one from their empire who would oppose Xia Ye’s marriage to him?
Reverse thinking made Ye Junqing feel especially good.
Yen’an glared fiercely at Bai Xiao: “What do you mean there’s no headquarters, doesn’t the old king of the vampires reside within Country A? Although I don’t know his exact residence, the elders of the empire certainly do. How else would they discuss wedding arrangements with the old king? You, the outstanding elite of the Bai family, should ask the elders of the Bai family, they surely know something! Or, are you simply reluctant to help? Are you trying to push Jiushu into the fire? Divorce! Divorce immediately! Once you take Mr. Ye to meet the old king, then we can remarry!”
Yen’an was really good at making a scene. After all, she just felt that why should Jiushu have to shoulder these responsibilities?
Who had ever given Jiushu any true respect back in the empire? Who had sincerely treated her as a rightful heir? Now they raised her to a high position just when they needed her, why?
Xia Ye Zhao, standing on the side, still had a doubt, “Since most of the citizens of your empire are descendants of vampires, then what is up with the vampires?”
Yen’an said, “I’ll tell you. Our empire, several N…N’s ago, wasn’t it engulfed by a flood and we were relegated to living 20,000 meters under the sea? Our ancestors believed this was definitely retribution or maybe a curse caused by the large-scale development of the Blood Clan back then. Thus, our ancestors abhorred vampires. Even though two-thirds of the vampires survived, they still felt an indelible guilt on themselves for the death of so many people…Eventually, the empire strictly prohibited embracing. Today, anyone in the empire with vampiric blood did not obtain it through the embracement, but rather through reproduction, passing it down to later generations.
