Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Blood Clan Princess VS The Newly Embraced Human Girl (Part 25)
Gu Shengyin was forcibly awakened by the system.
If the Blood Clan in slumber were to be forced awake, the consequences would be severe. However, the system had no choice; if it did not awaken the host, the consequences could be even more severe, possibly resulting in the failure of the mission in this world.
Rita was startled by Gu Shengyin’s sudden opening of her eyes.
“Your Highness?” Rita panicked. Wasn’t it said that Your Highness was in deep sleep and could not possibly wake up?
“Rita,” Gu Shengyin’s dark golden eyes emotionlessly gazed at her, “you bring all these Blood Clan members to my castle, to congratulate me for awakening from my deep sleep?”
The aura of a Prince-level swept across the Nightingale Castle instantly, making all the Blood Clan members who followed Rita involuntarily kneel before Gu Shengyin.
Even though Rita was extremely reluctant, she could not resist the natural instincts of her bloodline.
“Let me guess, what do you want to do? Take over while I am weak?” Gu Shengyin leisurely sat in her coffin, striving to prevent any Blood Clan from seeing her weakness.
She had been forcibly awakened by the system and was actually still in a period of weakness. Her combat strength was barely a tenth of what it usually was. If Rita really decided to throw caution to the wind, she might not really be able to hold on.
The only plan for now was to pray that Lancelot would find out there was a problem with the restrictions and rush over quickly.
Rita shivered under her oppression, “I, I just admire Your Highness…”
“So you bring all these High-Rank Blood Clan, kill the guards of my Nightingale Castle, and forcefully barge in?”
Rita was utterly despondent. She simply stopped arguing and lay on the ground, waiting for Gu Shengyin’s judgment.
However, after a long time, she still did not hear any movement from Gu Shengyin.
Rita looked up and saw Gu Shengyin’s gaze, complex with regret, compassion, and sadness.
Initially resigned to her fate, Rita was stimulated by Gu Shengyin’s expression.
She suddenly straightened up, looking at Gu Shengyin, “Your Highness, why even at such a time do you show me such an expression? Don’t you know that it’s exactly your demeanor that gave me some unrealistic hopes and then you shattered them yourself?”
Gu Shengyin thought, Oops, I might have overacted!
After Rita spoke her piece, she also realized she had no chance left and waited for Gu Shengyin to deal with her.
Yet she still did not see Gu Shengyin make any move.
Rita suddenly had a moment of clarity, gritting her teeth as she slowly stood up.
She tentatively walked towards Gu Shengyin, “Let me guess, you probably don’t want to make a move, but rather… can’t make a move, right?”
She looked at Gu Shengyin, revealing a mysterious smile, “Your words just now were merely to buy time, weren’t they? You didn’t wake up naturally, but were forcefully roused from your slumber, right?”
Gu Shengyin internally complained: Girl, must you be this clever?
Rita suddenly lifted her head, and a powerful surge of Dark Power burst forth from her body. The Blood Clan members who were previously suppressed by Gu Shengyin stood up one by one.
“As expected, even level suppression is barely holding.” She chuckled softly as she approached Gu Shengyin, “Your Highness, you must be at the end of your strength now, right?”
Gu Shengyin remained composed, “Even if I only have a tenth of my strength left, Rita, you and this rabble here won’t have an easy time against me.”
Rita scoffed coldly, “Whether I can or not, we have to try to find out!”
