Chapter 124: Saving the Tsundere, Ruthless Blood Hunt 19

With Jin Chen's covert help, Chu Tang quickly found the location of a spirit pearl.

But the spirit pearl has a guardian beast accompanying it.

He specifically instructed Jin Chen not to interfere, drawing his short blade to meet it.

But just as he was about to grab it, the spirit pearl emitting a lustrous glow was sucked away by a force; Chu Tang's pupils contracted, he pushed off the tree to dodge the guardian beast, then turned and stabbed in.

"Who?!"

Chu Tang coldly looked toward the direction where the spirit pearl disappeared.

"It's just a meaningless pearl."

A lazy voice sounded.

The spirit pearl was accurately thrown into Chu Tang's embrace.

A youth jumped down from the tree.

He wore a long red robe, extremely handsome, with black hair like a waterfall falling to his waist, tied with a golden ring; his skin was as white as snow, his pupils blood-red, and there was a faint mark between his brows.

Demonic Party.

Chu Tang's eyes were wary, he reverse-gripped his short blade, ready to attack at any moment.

But Jin Chen, who had walked over, pressed down his arm.

"How are you here?"

"Oh, Lansiluote! Long time no see!"

The youth tilted his head and smiled, "You... huh?! You have a blood servant!"

The youth suddenly realized that Lansiluote was holding hands with this handsome human boy, showing no disgust at his odor.

"Not a blood servant."

Chu Tang was the first to rebut.

How come these two seem to have such a good relationship?

Aren't the Secret Party and the Demonic Party always at odds?

"He is called Li En, ruler of the Demonic Party, third prince of the An Clan... former of Houston."

Jin Chen introduced him to Chu Tang; when he finished the last sentence, he glanced over with a half-smile.

The former king of the Blood Clan actually being from the Demonic Party, Chu Tang widened his eyes slightly, somewhat shocked.

"Hey! What do you mean former? I never agreed to break up! It doesn't count!"

Li En bristled, hands on hips, "Lansiluote, I warn you! Don't be insolent!"

"If you don't agree, does that mean it doesn't count?"

Another voice came.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Li En's expression instantly changed, becoming pitiful.

Houston walked over from not far away, expressionless, his face icy cold.

"Sneaking into my Secret Party's forbidden grounds, you're quite bold."

Jin Chen raised an eyebrow, leading Chu Tang back two steps.

Then he leaned in and whispered softly in his ear.

"100 years ago, Li En posed as a human, undercover in Houston's palace, aiming to obtain the Secret Party's core data, but unexpectedly developed a romance with Houston; Li En is also ruthless, and when the plot was exposed, he stabbed him and fled."

After listening, Chu Tang's gaze slowly fell on Li En, and he nodded.

But in his heart he began to think of something else.

The Blood Hunt identity and the Demonic Party identity make no difference to the Blood Clan Secret Party...

Li En feared that was his own past.

He pursed his lips.

"Houston, hear me explain..."

Li En always yielded meekly before Houston; he stepped closer, his voice trembling.

"What to explain? Explain how vicious that stab you dealt a hundred years ago was, or explain the truth of infiltrating the palace under a human identity?"

Houston's face grew ever tighter: "If it's those, then it's unnecessary; the past is already over."

"Not over at all!"

Li En couldn't bear his icy attitude, shaking his head in denial: "That stab wasn't meant to kill you, it was..."

He suddenly paused, unsure whether to continue.

"What for? To leave your victorious mark in my body?"

Houston's words always carried a thorn: "Give you five minutes to leave, otherwise I will deal with you according to Blood Clan law."

"No, I won't leave! I finally escaped to find you!"

Li En's emotions surged; clearly the word 'leave' deeply stimulated him, his whole body trembling.

He suddenly grabbed Houston's arm, almost pleading.

"You can't let me leave..."

Jin Chen's expression was surprised; in the original host's memory, Li En was spirited, brave, and fervent—how did he become like this?

【Host, this person is also a poor child! I just checked the plot line; a few lines mention he was soft-hearted and didn't kill Houston, was captured by the An Clan and tortured for 100 years.】

0731 wailed in the System Space.

So that's how it is; Jin Chen sucked in a breath, leading Chu Tang away first, waiting not far off.

"What's going on?"

Chu Tang was really getting into it when he was suddenly taken away.

He looked up at Jin Chen.

The misunderstanding is big, leave space for them to settle it.

Jin Chen sighed, gently pinching Chu Tang's cheek, "Tang Tang, don't hide anything from me; even if you do, you can't flee in the name of doing good for me."

Otherwise I'll be very sad.

Chu Tang's breath hitched, her almond eyes blinking.

…….

He lowered his gaze, avoiding Jin Chen's sight.

He walked forward a few steps.

【Host, you're really bad, Little Pitiful One is already so nervous, and you're still provoking him.】

【First lay some groundwork; when he reveals his identity, I can then naturally bring him back to the castle.】

0731 tsk tsk twice, "【You're playing so wild, you even have a captivity play!】"

【……What have you been looking at in the space all day?】

【Hehehe……This isn't because you temporarily have no use for me; you're bored, so you downloaded a few videos to watch.】

0731 blushed.

Jin Chen was speechless.

Meanwhile, here.

Xiu Si Dun also sensed something off with Li En's emotions, frowned and asked, "You're the Prince of the Dark Clan; how could you possibly still be staying in the Demonic Faction's territory?"

He tried to pull away his arm, but suddenly discovered that Li En's arm beneath the sleeve was covered in wounds.

Xiu Si Dun's expression changed, he grabbed Li En's hand and rolled up the sleeve.

Only to see that the originally snow-white skin was covered in wounds; as a fellow Blood Clan member, Xiu Si Dun could also feel the faint seal still present on his arm.

That was the Blood Clan Ruler's corporal punishment seal on criminals.

Known for not allowing death for a hundred years, with daily torment.

You……

Xiu Si Dun's voice hoarse, he couldn't believe it.

Don't look, don't look……so ugly!

Li En shook him off, bit his lip and squeezed out a faint smile.

"Xiu Si Dun, I came to make amends with you; please don't drive me away, okay?"

Although he was smiling, his eyes were utterly broken.

"Li En……what happened after you returned to the Dark Clan?"

Xiu Si Dun's Adam's apple rolled, his heart felt a dull pain, like a knife cut.

He had clearly let go, yet he didn't want Li En to be seen as a traitor by the Demonic Faction; how did he still suffer such severe injuries, even…even being regarded as a criminal?

Speak the truth.

Xiu Si Dun's tone was no longer deliberately cold.

Faintly, a shadow of the past appeared.

Li En's eyes instantly filled with tears.

He let out a sob, threw himself into Xiu Si Dun's embrace, tightly gripping his waist, crying heart-wrenchingly.

Xiu Si Dun stiffened his arms, then slowly returned the embrace, gently patting Li En.

Don't cry.

Such a gentle tone, Li En hadn't heard in a hundred years.

A moment later.

Regarding the truth of those years, it was spoken by Li En with a trembling voice.
