Rebirth: The Blood Demon Empress Chapter 72 - Bloody Romance

  The sky is filled with fine snowflakes, like countless strands of cow hair dancing in the air.

  The eaves of the house, snowflakes wetted the glazed tiles.

  The garden covered with thin snow, flowers and leaves all hanging crystal snow beads.

  The entire sky was shrouded in a beautiful and icy silver world.

  An exquisite cauldron, with a body carved with golden dragon fish flying and entwining around it. The lid of the cauldron covered the fire spark inside, wisps of smoke rose from the hole on top of the cauldron, and the faint scent of osmanthus wafted through the air.

  Knock knock knock - The crisp and rhythmic doorbell sound broke the trance of Leng Ziyue, who was staring at the snow outside the window.

  A pale blue long dress, with silver silk thread outlining the sleeve edges, and a few lily flowers embroidered on the hem. A white satin bodice adorned her chest, as the cold wind gently lifted the skirt, which swayed in the breeze. Her stunning beauty was matched by a gentle, warm smile, evoking the freshness and elegance of a lily.

  A fiery red cloak lay quietly on a purple sandalwood gufei backrest, with bright colors, like fire.

  "Come in." The voice was like a gentle stream, clear and crisp, pleasant to the ear. Leng Xue'er stood with her hands behind her back, her eyes slightly closed, recalling her scattered thoughts.

  It's been two days since he came to see her, and it feels very unusual.

  Is he dependent on it?

  Four people walked into the room in a line, looking at the slender back of Leng Xueyun, and respectfully called out: "Greetings, Young Master."

  "Hmm." With a slight nod, Leng Xueyu suddenly opened her eyes, her long sleeves fluttering as she stepped lightly and sat down elegantly on the noble concubine's chair, her gaze clear and bright.

  "Young master, is the opening of Fengyuelou going to be delayed for a month?" The silver-gray long gown fit snugly on Ming Qi's body, with smooth lines under his chin and radiant skin. Without looking, it was clear that beneath the golden mask lay a handsome face.

  There are still five days until New Year's Eve, and then comes the first month.

  The five nations gather together, and the Linglong Banquet is about to take place.

  If it is opened for business before then, the benefits received should be the greatest.

  "Oh, is it because of the Linglong Banquet and the imperial edict?" Leng Ziyue curved her mouth slightly, she really hadn't misjudged the person, Ming Xuetian was indeed born to do business.

  If he were placed in modern times, it's likely he would be the next richest man in the world.

  The New Year is approaching, the entire imperial city is filled with white paper lanterns flying everywhere, welcoming the worship ceremony of the former Empress Dowager of Chu. How can there still be people visiting that kind of place, the brothel?

  "The young master is wise and brilliant." In his dark eyes, a firm light flashed, and in Ming Qi's heart, his awe for Leng Ziyue had long surpassed everything.

  Although she was a slender and weak woman, she had astonishing talent. Although she only gave him some business plans, in his view, if she were to take charge personally, she would absolutely do a better job than he could.

  "Ming Ke, I don't like to hear flattering words. I'm giving you the greatest authority, and all business matters are entirely up to you. Don't be afraid to make decisions. Buying and selling, there's no sale without a purchase. Sometimes taking a small loss isn't a big deal, just consider it buying experience. When necessary, be decisive." Leng Zhiyue hadn't even looked at the account book, but after hearing Dong Xue mention that You Yin Ge had recently received a large sum of gold and silver, she became even more confident in Ming Ke.

  "There are few masters who can say this sentence, and I will definitely not let you down." Ming Tai's eyes curved into a smile, which was quite adorable.

  "Hehe, you're so cute." Leng Ziyue gazed into his eyes, chuckling softly as she said thoughtfully, "Ming Xi, did you grow a very cute baby face?"

  Although this guy always puts on a cool and icy appearance, it brings her a kind of cute and childish air, indeed intentionally pretending to be, can't be compared with the natural coldness that Baili Chenzhuang has.

  Her delicate eyebrows furrowed, she thought of him once again.

  "Huh... no." Ming Gui was taken aback at first, then his whole body stiffened, and if one looked closely, they could even see his fingers trembling. His answer was crisp and clean, without any hesitation or evasion.

  It just sounds like there's no confidence at all.

  Leng Xueyu glanced at the other side, where three men were being intimidated by Ming Ke's gaze and were desperately trying to hold back their laughter, their shoulders shaking violently. This only strengthened her own thoughts.

  "Young master, I remembered that there are still a few accounts that haven't been personally audited, let's take a step first." Seeing that his own secret was about to be exposed, Ming Ta immediately thought of the thirty-six strategies and decided to flee.

  "Wait." Leng Xueyu pursed her lips, and she thought that the charming and cunning Ming Ke had suddenly become even more adorable. "Take off your mask, let me take a look."

  His lips twitched violently at the corners of his mouth, his body stiffened, and he choked red in the face. How could he say no?

  Just thinking of the young master leaning back in his chair, looking like a fairy with an otherworldly beauty, those tormenting methods, he knew very well that he had no right to say 'no'.

  "Don't just look at him, you all have a share too. Take off your masks and let me take a look. How can it be so comfortable to wear them on your faces every day?" She didn't like wearing masks or veils, whatever she was born with is what she should be!

  If anyone dares to stare at her and make her unhappy, just get rid of them directly.

  Why be so hard on yourself.

  "Hehe, young master, isn't that enough?" The smile at the corner of his mouth froze, and he shook his head. Although he thought he was a handsome guy, when placed in front of Leng Zhiyue, he wasn't even comparable to grass.

  Shan Huan and Lei Huan exchanged a glance, shrugged indifferently, and Cold Xue Yue was their young master. The true appearance should have been shown to her long ago, but since she never mentioned it, they themselves didn't dare to speak directly.

  If I really say it out loud, it feels incredibly awkward.

  Encountering a master like Leng Xueyu, going against her wishes usually doesn't end well.

  "Lightning flashes, thunder rumbles, and it all starts with you, one after another." Leng Ziyue's bright eyes were tinged with a rare smile, and it felt really great to have friends.

  In her previous life, due to her cold and indifferent personality, no one had ever been friends with her.

  In this life, she just wants to live well for herself.

  Affection, in the previous life was light, at least no one wanted to hurt her; this life, can be said that there is no root. The only cheap mother who loved her dearly also left early, leaving her alone.

  Friendship, she now has a lot. In her heart, she never regarded those around her as subordinates, treating them sincerely like friends.

  Love, she doesn't understand, but because of Baili Chunxiao, she is willing to learn to understand.

  He is the only one who brings her warmth in this alien world, with an inexplicable sense of familiarity, his genuine care and pampering. Dependence and trust have slowly spread out in her heart.

  "Electric soul, you still don't take action." Ming Bo finally found a bit of courage, he fell to the last one, and could make some slight psychological preparations.

  "Cough, I know." His hand reached up to his ear and gently removed the mask from his face. His calm eyes met Zhi Yue's sincere gaze, but inside he was nervous like he had seven or eight buckets lifted, making him fumble with his hands.

  Those clear and dust-free eyes were bright and focused, full of concentration, without any other meaning.

  "One by one, no one can hide." Leng Xueyue smiled, and the four maidservants, Mei, Lan, Ju, and Zhu, who were always wearing a silver mask, also took them off when she returned to Youyin Pavilion again.

  What's the point of a young girl always hiding her face?

  Shan Xiao helplessly shook his head, swiftly removed the mask from his face, held it in his hand and gave it a shake, eliciting a faint smile from Leng Xueyan for his somewhat rascal-like behavior.

  Lei Bao's eyes dimmed for a moment, but he remained calm and removed the mask from his face. Although he had once said that he would never take it off again after putting it on, at this moment, he did so with a willing heart.

  Finally, it was the turn of the youngest, Ming Bo. He unwillingly bit his lip, and after rolling his big eyes a few times, he obediently removed the mask from his face and cried out in discontent: "You all bully me."

  Leng Xueyu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, her piercing gaze falling on Mingming's face. "You're so adorable, yet you pretend to be so deep every day. Don't you get tired? Look at that cute doll-like face of yours, others would envy it!"

  A very handsome and delicate doll-like face, with fine features, exceptionally gentle, and pale white skin, it really has a feeling that makes you want to reach out and pinch it at first glance.

  With a nod of understanding, Leng Xueyu somewhat understood why he wanted to pretend and hide his face.

  "I'm the master of this house, how can I look like this." His face scrunched up like a bitter melon, his eyes wide with discontent, he didn't like having a doll-like face at all.

  Obviously already twenty years old, looks like thirteen or fourteen years old, can't help but be hit.

  "Just be yourself, why care so much about others' opinions." Leng Ziyue's eyes swept over Dian Jue, Shuo Jue and Lei Jue, finally settling on Lei Jue's face without blinking.

  To say, her subordinates can be said to be four beautiful men, with different styles and each having their own characteristics.

  His facial features are angular and three-dimensional, giving a strong visual impact. A pair of bright phoenix eyes softened his overall appearance, making him a face that people would easily remember.

  Looking at his face, there is a very comfortable bookish aura, with skin as white as jade and a face like powdered makeup, perhaps referring to someone like him. But don't underestimate him, when he takes action, he's not an easy person to mess with.

  "Lei Bo, how did you get the scar on your face?" There was no disdain or disgust in her eyes, but rather a hint of heartache. Leng Zixue gazed at the ugly knife scar that stretched from Lei Bo's left cheekbone to the corner of his upper lip.

  It's not hard to imagine what it was like when injured, a forest of white bones, blood flowing like pillars.

  His five senses are separate, and it's hard to describe how exquisite they are. When combined together, they bring a cool and evil aura at the same time, absolutely a guy who can make people fall in love with him at first sight.

  "It's just a scar, it's already healed." Lei Ba hooked his lips into a smile, making the knife scar that had faded in color but was still quite frightening appear even clearer.

  He thought he would see a look of disgust, but unexpectedly, Leng Zhiyue's fleeting glance of heartache made his nose slightly sour. How long had it been since someone pitied him?

  "In a few days, I'll prepare some medicine to remove scars. Such a good-looking face can't be ruined. You have your secrets, and I won't ask. All four of you listen carefully: if anyone dares to touch you even with a finger, it's like slapping my face. No matter what method they use, I'll make them pay back. No matter what you're doing or what orders you're executing, your safety is always my top priority. If you get hurt while completing a task, I'll let you experience the taste of blood entering your body." Cold Zhiyue's eyes flashed with a fierce light; she was very protective of her people. Anyone who dared to touch them would be made to suffer for eternity.

  A flash of lightning, a shock in the heart. Every pair of eyes had a dazzling light that made one's eyes unable to open, and they nodded in unison: "Yes."

  No one has ever been as mindful of them, protected them like Leng Xueyu did.

  "If you have something to say, just say it. Holding it in won't make you less tired." From the moment they entered, Leng Ziyue had keenly noticed his hesitant expression.

  The named electric shock smiled and thought of the subtle relationship between Leng Ziyue and Baili Chenyuan, he was very headache whether to ask or not to ask his question.

  At least until yesterday, he thought that Bai Li Chen Yun was not worthy of his family's young master, a powerless and influential prince, what could he use to protect Leng Ziyue.

  Apparently, after what happened yesterday, he felt that Blood King was a match for Leng Xueyun.

  On the court, not only did General Chen Bingquan lose an arm, but today's morning court became particularly interesting. Those ministers who were still eloquent yesterday and couldn't pay national tribute to the former Queen of Chu suddenly overturned their previous words overnight and strongly advocated for paying tribute to the Queen of Chu.

  In just one short night, such a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering change, how can it not make people gasp in amazement.

  "Hehe, young master, actually it's nothing... *scratches head*, Electric Soul laughed even more foolishly."

  Leng Xueyue rolled her eyes, and she knew that Xia Hua's mouth was not to be trusted. She really didn't know how Xia Hua had spread the rumor about her and Bai Lixuan, it was frustrating.

  She probably capsized in a ditch and got entangled with that sinister and vicious guy, and can't even shake him off.

  After all, it's not that she can't get rid of him, but rather that she doesn't want to let go of him again.

  "What if those private transactions between the officials were exposed and publicly executed? What would that mean? Even minor officials have so many secrets, let alone the true masters, the great generals, and the powerful ministers. With all these in hand, it's easy to make them change their tune.

  Baili Chuanxin, how vast is your intelligence network that you can grasp even the most hidden matters? Overthrowing the entire Qi Yue might not be a difficult task for you."

  Her eyes drooped slightly, and no one could see her expression.

  Your mysteriousness has piqued my interest in you even more.

  As you said, how many faces you have, it's meaningless to tell me directly, I'd rather find out myself and make it interesting.

  "So that's how it is, isn't the Blood King's intelligence network even more enormous than ours? I originally thought we were the only ones who had a grasp on those ministers' secrets." Dié Mèi's face turned black, he still couldn't surpass the Blood King's abilities!

  After operating with great pains for so many years, the intelligence network only grasped a small part of the ministers' family background. The Blood King grasped how much, and almost every minister had a copy in his hand.

  Abdomen black, Baili Chenyuan is really too black.

  On the surface, he is unassuming and inconspicuous, but on a sunny day, standing in the light, who knows how many people's eyes will be blinded.

  "After the establishment of Fengyuelou, I will make a detailed revision of the intelligence collection. I'm not afraid to compare with him." A faint smile played on her lips.

  Whether it's an enemy or an opponent, or even a companion, she likes the strong ones, like Baili Chunxuan, that's what she's looking for.

  "Yes." Dié Lèi nodded his head, and began to look forward to it in his heart.

  Ming Ze's business has been thriving with Leng Zhiyue's guidance, and he's making more and more money. He also wants to gather a bit more intelligence!

  "Young master, recently the other four countries have been making frequent moves. I estimate that they are going to celebrate the new year in July." Shǎn Huǒ's tone was calm, but he didn't understand their next move.

  "It's just the New Year, who hasn't spent it in their own country? The Linglong banquet is imminent, and they sneak into Qimonth to gather intelligence that benefits them, which isn't surprising." Leng Ziyue blinked her eyes, if she wanted to win, understanding her opponent was also necessary.

  "Don't worry, young master, I'll track their movements and report back to you immediately."

  "Tell your men to watch their step and avoid getting too close for their own safety."

  She is a living person, not a dead one.

  "Yes."

  "Lei Bai, how's the preparation going?" Ling Ziyue looked at Lei Bai.

  "Don't worry, young master. In half a month, everything will be presented before your eyes." Those strangely shaped things, although he didn't know what they were, he believed they must all be very useful things.

  The same as the Blood Wei used by Leng Ziyue.

  That short and small, exquisite like a toy dagger-like Blood Wei, out of the sheath must see blood, cut iron like mud.

  "After the Linglong banquet, I will definitely send each of you a weapon that you are most skilled at using." She liked to study weapons, and Cold Zifei had long wanted to forge a suitable weapon for each of the twelve people - Electric Flash, Wind Flower Snow Moon, Plum Orchid Chrysanthemum Bamboo, but she had never had the time.

  Grandfather once said that when it comes to weapons, no one understands them better than her.

  "Thank you, young master." They had long been looking forward to having a personal weapon like Blood Wei.

  Never thought that Leng Xue would see through their minds, and even remembered it firmly in her heart.

  、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、

  Time flies like an arrow.

  Night falls, lanterns are lit, and the imperial city is plunged into a dazzling array of colors.

  Outside the city, halfway up the mountain to Shengfeng Temple, snowflakes were flying like goose feathers, incredibly beautiful, set off by the bright moonlight, a world wrapped in silver and white.

  The sound of horseshoes echoes crisply through the scattered and well-arranged forest, the sound of snow falling from the treetops is so clear and bright, the cold wind pierces to the bone.

  Wrapped in silvery moonlight, Baili Chunyuan wore a fiery red brocade robe, with golden threads embroidering a soaring eagle on the garment. His sharp facial features, narrow and long eyes that seemed to enthrall, straight nose bridge, sensual rose-colored lips, and his waist-length hair scattered over his shoulders.

  Snowflakes left sparkling water droplets on his hair, a few strands of which stuck to his forehead, adding a hint of evil spirit and sensuality.

  The majestic horse galloped swiftly, its slender legs carrying a figure with an air of elegance. From the waist, a delicate hand grasped a jade mask and gently placed it over the face, transforming the entire demeanor into one of icy coldness. The lips curled into a sly smile as a chilling voice spoke out: "Will you come at me one by one, or all together? I'm rather curious to see just how great your skills are."

  Even before he was old enough to understand, there were countless assassins who wanted to take his life. Even living in the harsh and cold land of Silvermoon City couldn't spare him a single thread of life.

  Since he cannot live a good life, those who persecute him will also never be able to live in peace for the rest of their lives.

  He won't end their lives with a single sword, he'll only choose the most cruel method, making them unable to live and unable to die.

  "The Blood King's hiding too deeply, we nameless small fries can't afford to take that kind of risk, so let's just go up together." A large knife 'swished' out of its scabbard, pointing directly at Baili Chuan Yun.

  "Report your names, I'd like to recall what kind of people you are?" The red robe fluttered, the jade mask emitted a chilly and mysterious glow, and the black gemstone-like eyes suddenly seemed to flicker with a blood-red light, as if they were two pieces of fine blood jade.

  The increasingly dense and oppressive killing intent was so intense that even the killer, who had been living on the edge of a knife for years, couldn't help but feel a sense of fear. His legs trembled slightly, and no one dared to take a step closer to the person riding on horseback, looking down at them.

  "Just remember who killed you." The man with the big knife glared at his brother behind him, took a deep breath, and didn't make the first move, fearing that everyone behind him would run away.

  Baili Chenyuan's toes lightly kicked the horse's belly, and the horse seemed to have a spiritual aura as it ran towards the empty space without people, quietly lowering its head and nibbling on the snow accumulated on the ground.

  A slender body floated in mid-air, red clothes like fire, burning wildly. That was the most dazzling and eye-catching radiant body under the moonlight.

  His ink-colored eyes didn't even glance at the killer who was charging towards him with a raised knife, maintaining his posture with his hands clasped behind his back. It wasn't until the cold blade approached his face that his eyes suddenly turned blood red and fell onto the killer's face. With a movement as swift as lightning, like the wind blowing by, Baoli Xuan's figure was already standing amidst the group of killers.

  Bloodshot eyes changed unpredictably, murderous aura spread all over the sky and rolled in, just one move, that person was already torn to pieces, except for the broken knife and the clothes that were shattered all over the ground, nothing could be found.

  "Do you want to die like him?" Thin lips opened, and it was a chilling coldness that pierced through bones.

  He is a bloodthirsty demon king from hell, bloodthirsty as his life.

  The assassin's entire body was wrapped in a black night-traveling cloak, his gallbladder was about to burst, unable to control his legs from trembling with fear that penetrated deep into his bones.

  Cold wind blows, carrying a strong smell of blood.

  Leng Xueyu furrowed her brow, her mind undecided, but her body had already moved forward.

  This road is the only way back to the Imperial City from Shengfeng Temple, and before leaving the city, she was worried that someone would arrange for an assassin to take Bailing's life. Although she knew that with his skills, nothing would happen, she still came without hesitation.

  After leaving the city, he searched for his whereabouts along the way.

  The thick smell of blood on the tip of her nose stirred up the bloodthirsty factor in her body once again, making her feel somewhat restless and uneasy.

  A clear and distant, long and drawn-out flute sound wafted through the empty forest, ringing out with a lively and vivacious tone, as if countless children were frolicking in the peach blossom forest.

  Baili Chenyuan's entire body trembled, and with one kick, he sent the black-robed man in front of him flying. His eyes, which had been like rubies dripping with blood, instantly returned to their usual dark, mysterious color.

  She slightly tilted her head, a faint smile playing on the corners of her mouth, staring blankly at the lovely girl draped in crimson cloak, with warmth in her eyes that couldn't be concealed.

  She must have been thinking of him; otherwise, she wouldn't have gone out of her way to come into town and look for him.

  Leng Xueying blinked, gazing into the profound and mysterious black eyes of Baili Chenyuan. The exquisite music box in her hand was the first gift he had given her, not only precious but also deeply touching her heart.

  Xue Wei and Miao Yin were the two weapons she cherished most in her past life. Rather than calling them weapons, it would be more accurate to say that they were her closest friends, who would never abandon or betray her.

  Her clear eyes became piercingly fierce the moment she saw the black-clad man raise his long sword towards Baili Chuyan, and the melodious flute sound suddenly shifted from low to high, urgent and unrelenting, carrying a murderous aura.

  In an instant, snowflakes danced in the air, swirling up a layer of accumulated snow, withered leaves scattered, and flocks of birds took flight, destroying nearly half of the entire forest.

  The moonlight poured down between the trees, also falling on her hair, like countless stars jumping around, her long hair flying about, yet her expression was just right, with a majestic aura that oppressed.

  A beautiful face with a layer of bloodthirsty light on it.

  The sound played by Miao Yin was like a blue curved line, like a flash of lightning, but faster than lightning, cutting across the chest of the black-clad man, blood splashing everywhere, and he died instantly.

  "Xiao Yue'er, I want to give you a gift forged in blood." Hong Ying's figure shifted, and Bai Li Chenyuan was already standing beside Leng Ziyue's left hand, his slightly cool fingers gently stroking her face that had no temperature, his expression stern.

  "Then I'll take a look." The flute sound dissipated, and Leng Xueyu raised an eyebrow, glancing at the nearly half-dead black-clothed men, the remaining ones were also in a sorry state.

  "Hehe, I definitely won't let you down." As Baili Chenyuan's voice fell, a chilling killing intent surged forth, covering the sky and earth. The white snow that had already been stained red with blood presented a dark red color under the moonlight, with a thick smell of gore.

  The red cloak fluttered up with the cold wind, making a 'whooshing' rubbing sound, swift and fierce attacks, attack after attack, one person after another fell down in the most beautiful way.

  Each of the fatal wounds on their bodies was at a major artery, and after being slashed open, fresh blood sprayed out in a fan-shaped high arc, as if a bloody flower rain had suddenly started, extremely eerie and strange.

  Until the last black-clad man's eyes widened in terror and fell powerlessly at Baili Chunyuan's feet, this uneven battle was officially declared over.

  "Blood flowers fell from the sky, a desolate beauty. Cold Zhen Yue leaned against a lush tree with dense branches and leaves, she liked evergreen trees in winter, always feeling they were full of life."

  Her calm eyes gazed at Baili Qingyun, using that technique to kill all the black-clothed men. Her hair was not disheveled, her breathing was steady, and there wasn't a single speck of blood on her clothes. She would indeed be an extremely powerful opponent.

  It's just unknown who is more ruthless between her and him.

  "Blood flower? Heh heh, I think so too, beautiful?" He was bloodthirsty, having killed one person, and still wanted to kill a second, unable to suppress the excitement of his entire body.

  She also had a bloodthirsty look on her face as she raised the corner of her mouth.

  The color of blood, seductive, beautiful.

  Baili Chunyuan's performance was like using red ink to create a splashing painting, with crimson splattering everywhere. Compared to the pure white snowflakes, she preferred the warm, blood-red flowers.
