The Vampire Empress: Blood Queen & Her Kings - Chapter 117

“What now?”

Jiang Ying Yue murmured under her breath as she lifted the drapes of the carriage window to look outside but she got immediately blinded by the bright light that suddenly shone and disappeared, turning everything just as dark as before.

Not having another option, she stepped out of the carriage and found the coachman lying unconscious on his seat. After quickly checking his pulse and making sure that he was alright, she moved her attention towards her surroundings.

The darkness was her best friend and unlike others, she as a vampire was the last person to feel any sort of fear when surrounded by this friend of hers. Her eyes quickly scanned the area, searching for the source of that sudden light and the reason that stopped her from moving ahead.

It was during that moment that she picked on the sweet smell of blood that had started to fill the air. Being a Vampire High Lord, she would have easily turned down the temptation of blood but for some weird reason, she couldn’t stop herself from giving in to the temptation this time.

Even before she realized it, she had already started moving as her senses followed the direction from where the smell of the blood was coming. It was the sweetest and most tempting smell of blood she had come across in her entire life as a vampire. Her throat started drying up as the smell became strong with every step she took closer to the person who was the owner of this sweet blood.

A few minutes later, she found herself standing in a little clearing in the middle of the woods with someone lying on the ground with a pool of blood around him. His entire body was covered in deep injuries and blood was rapidly oozing out. However, he was still alive.

“A halfling…”

She whispered as she stepped closer to where the young man was lying on the ground, struggling for his every next breath as his life was hanging on the very edge of the cliff of death. She took in his waist-length black hair that still looked silky smooth even though he was in such a poor state.

His deep green eyes were looking right back at her with dozens of emotions swirling in them, the biggest one being hope. Was he hoping for her to save him? Jiang Ying Yue almost chuckled at the thought.

As she silently took in the rest of his appearance, she noticed that he looked like a weakling belonging to the mortal world, and if not for the fact that she could sense his weak powers, she would have also considered him an intruder from the mortal world who had ended up walking through the veil and got attacked by some rogues.

As she took a closer look at his wounds, she realized that they were no normal wounds. A small twitch appeared on her lips as she dragged her eyes to look straight into his emerald ones as she spoke, “So you are the said criminal that the Elementals were looking for. What a painful ending! You won’t be able to die at least for a few hours. They have made sure that you will learn the true meaning of pain tonight. What did you do to deserve such a punishment?”

She was really interested to know the answer. The method that the faes had used to kill this young man was known to be the second most powerful and scariest one in their realm. The bright light that she saw a few moments ago belonged to the weapon that injured the man.

“… P… P-pl-please… H… He…lp… m-me…”

The young man somehow mustered out these barely audible words. If not for heightened hearing sense, she would have definitely missed them. Another twitch appeared on her lips as she crouched down beside him and pressed her finger against his cheek where a small cut was covered in blood.

As soon as her finger was covered in his blood, she brought it back to her lips and licked it with the tip of her tongue. An immediate moan of satisfaction escaped her mouth as her entire body and soul hummed in pleasure after tasting the sweetest and most delicious blood that she had ever come across.

She opened her eyes, which she had closed at some point without even realizing, and looked back at the young man. “Help? I think I can help you. How about I take your blood as compensation for my help? In return, you won’t need to get tortured for a long time before dying. We both will get what we want. Does this sound good?”

The young man immediately started shaking his head as his eyes took on an impatient expression. His sudden movement only caused him more pain and his blood to seep out at a more rapid speed.

“No? Then what do you want? Because I definitely want your blood. It’s really tasty.” She whispered as she looked at him with raised eyebrows and a little evil smile playing on her crimson painted lips. It was probably the worst day in this young man’s life. First, he got tangled with the Seelie court and ended up in such a situation, and then she found him, only to add to his miseries.”

“Please… S-save… m…me…”

He spoke through clenched teeth as he suddenly clutched her dress and immediately let out a groan filled with nothing but pain that was caused by his sudden movement.
