Sorry, I'm a cultivator.

pat.

The high heels fell limply to the floor, and Emilia's plump, smooth, snow-white legs trembled slightly. As her delicate toes curled, her elegantly styled hair finally came undone.

Her full head of golden hair cascaded down, smooth and silky like a waterfall, with a few strands clinging to her snowy cheeks, creating an indescribably melancholic and captivating look.

Tong Yan, having finished his last sip of soda, stared blankly at the scene. I didn't understand.

Emilia clearly had the ability to break free from the time-stop effect, so why didn't she fight back?

And Lord Xingzhou, why did you say such things about inferiors overthrowing superiors?

What's even stranger is that every time Lord Xingzhou says this, Emilia seems to lose her sense of self.

Why is that?

I don't understand!

I don't see what's so fun about it.

Tong Yan began to float in the air, and the fruit on the table became her target.

Although vampires don't eat these things, the proper etiquette for a host is still observed, so all the fruits on the table ended up in Tongyan's stomach.

Li Xingzhou pinched Emilia's cheek with satisfaction and teased, "That's a cute look! Try rolling your eyes at me again? Do you hate me that much?"

"But no matter what, it can't change the established facts. Just admit it, that's the kind of woman you are."

After saying that, Li Xingzhou subconsciously picked up the wine glass on the table, but just as his lips were about to touch the rim, he quickly put the wine glass back down.

I cannot drink this wine.

Li Xingzhou stood up and looked at Emilia, then suddenly said, "The time stop effect only lasts for one hour, and there are only five minutes left."

Upon hearing this, Emilia disregarded everything else and began to tidy her hair and clothes. To her relief, she wasn't wearing stockings today.

Seeing Emilia's flustered appearance as she dressed, Li Xingzhou's smile deepened.

The time stop effect on Emilia has long expired, but Emilia doesn't seem to realize it yet...

Emilia paused, instinctively looking up at Li Xingzhou. Meeting his teasing gaze, the panic and shame in her bloodshot eyes intensified.

Clearly, she realized what was happening.

Li Xingzhou said meaningfully, "The Second True Ancestor... Your Excellency?"

After he finished speaking, he whistled.

Emilia bit her lower lip, feeling ashamed, but her heart was filled with an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

She lowered her head, slipped her slender feet into high heels, and walked gracefully to Li Xingzhou, helping him straighten his clothes.

Li Xingzhou pointed to the skirts worn by the two princes who were closest to him: "Look at their skirts."

Emilia looked up, her eyes widening in surprise as more tears welled up. She quickly made a hand seal to straighten the two princes' clothes, then watched Li Xingzhou gradually become transparent and disappear before her eyes. She sat back down in the head seat and continued to swirl her wine glass.

Time stop ends.

Several princes and dukes remained in their original positions, completely unaware of what was happening, except...

"It smells so good...it smells even better now!"

They caught a whiff of the rich scent of blood in the air, and their gazes became even more greedy as they stared at the goblet in Emilia's hand, completely ignoring the lingering blush on Emilia's delicate face.

"Great Ancestor, this blood..."

Emilia glanced at their gazes and chuckled, "This is pure blood that I painstakingly refined; you won't find it here."

She casually extended her long, beautiful legs, crossed them, and raised them to an astonishing length. Her lotus-petal-like toes playfully hooked onto her red narrow-heeled shoes, giving her a languid look.

"What, want to try some?"

Several princes and dukes nodded subconsciously. Faced with the rich aroma of blood, vampires had little self-control.

Blood is an important way for vampires to increase their strength, but it is also a weakness.

An unchangeable weakness.

"You wish," Emilia scoffed. "What right do you have to enjoy the blood I painstakingly extracted?"

After saying that, she drank the blood in the glass in one gulp, then put the wine glass into her spatial storage and walked out with sexy steps.

"What the True Ancestor means is... that by paying a price, one can taste this rich and fragrant blood, right?"

After Emilia left, a duke tentatively spoke up.

"Nonsense! Have you forgotten how the council suppressed the Yongye Clan back then?"

"Then now..."

"This blood smells wonderful and can definitely boost strength significantly. It's even effective for True Ancestors. We can't let the Second True Ancestor monopolize this precious blood!"

"so……"

"I will report to the parliament first."

Under the eaves, Emilia held up an exquisitely crafted parasol. Her elegant updo paired with her fitted red dress exuded the graceful beauty of a noblewoman.

At her level of power, vampires are not afraid of sunlight, but they are born disliking it, so using an umbrella has become a habit.

From a house not far away, Hill III also came out.

The Holy Light Church and the vampires' houses were very close together—this was Jiang Wanzhao's special arrangement.

After all, aside from the demon race, the Church and the vampire race are also naturally opposed to each other.

Emilia looked over, gave Hill III a defiant look, and then stepped down the stairs.

King Hill III narrowed his eyes slightly. Had the master already contacted him?

Hehe... It's just a matter of finding someone later, what's there to be proud of?

Li Xingzhou had already left, since Jiang Wanzhao had already suspected him last night, and he couldn't let her continue to be suspicious.

Tong Yan followed closely behind him, asking, "Lord Xingzhou, is that love?"

“Yes,” Li Xingzhou said casually, “Possessiveness is also a form of love.”

"I don't understand. Never mind, that's not important. What's important is that I'm here to help you~"

"Hmm?" Li Xingzhou slowed his pace. "You've remembered how you're going to save me?"

"no!"

"Ah……"

Li Xingzhou suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Tong Yan.

Tong Yan looked up at him, her expression suddenly tightening: "Lord Xingzhou, your gaze is a bit dangerous. What are you going to do?"

"Think about it, you forgot your mission because you landed headfirst, so..."

Li Xingzhou stared at her head: "If you bump it again, will you remember something?"

"If a machine malfunctions, the first thing to do is usually to hit it a few times, right?"

······

Chapter 94 A Mother's Backstab

When I was a child, whether the TV or the remote control was malfunctioning, my first reaction was to tap it a few times.

Even when the battery is dead, it will take a couple of bites first.

Since Tongyan is an AI automaton developed by the Athena species, this method might also be applicable to it.

After all, Tong Yan's memory problems initially arose because she landed headfirst.

So Li Xingzhou wanted to give it a try.

Upon hearing Li Xingzhou's voice, the delicate and youthful-looking girl immediately stretched her head towards him, looking adorably dazed, and said, "Sure, but Master Xingzhou, please don't break my computer."

"Don't worry." Li Xingzhou raised his right hand: "I will control the force so that your head feels the same impact as when you fall."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xingzhou struck out with his palm, and a powerful gust of wind swept out, simulating the impact that Tong Yan had suffered when his entire head was stuck in the ground this morning.

"Did you remember anything?"

"I was created to serve Lord Xingzhou!"

"..."

Li Xingzhou lowered his right hand, feeling speechless.

What kind of classic storyline is unfolding?

Intentionally subjecting her to a shock so she can't regain her memories... is it necessary to follow a specific plotline?

Ok?

Since Tongyan is an automaton, wouldn't some of its settings follow the plot of Ga La Ge Mu?

After pondering for a few seconds, Li Xingzhou looked at the childlike and charming appearance of the girl and thought, "Well, there's still no news about the remaining Heaven's Cup, so waiting a little longer won't hurt."

The main reason is that their youthful appearance is pleasing to the eye.

As Li Xingzhou turned around and started walking again, he took out a spiritual fruit from his personal space and tossed it to Tong Yan: "Eat it."

Tong Yan quickly reached out and took it, her eyes lighting up: "Th-thank you..."

"Little brother Xingzhou~"

Jiang Xuetang suddenly appeared in front of Li Xingzhou, smiling at him with her hands behind her back: "Wan Zhao's enthronement ceremony is about to begin, and you're still wandering around here?"

Li Xingzhou glanced at the child-faced girl who was munching on an apple, and smiled at Jiang Xuetang: "It's okay if I sneak in later. You can't possibly appoint me as the crown prince, can you?"

Besides, aren't you a representative of the Starry Sky Group? Is it appropriate for you to still be here?"

"I'm curious." Jiang Xuetang looked at Tong Yan: "Does Wan Zhao know you bought an automaton?"

"You can tell?" Li Xingzhou asked as they walked. "From the outside, you look no different from an ordinary person, right?"

“My family also has a subsidiary that produces automata.” Jiang Xuetang pointed to his right hand: “The spiritual power of the link mark is different from other spiritual power fluctuations.”

"Because this is considered a spell of recognizing a master... it's not exactly a proper spell, and in order to prevent infiltration, this link mark must be obvious."

Li Xingzhou suddenly realized that the fact that the Divine Seed did not hide Tong Yan's identity was also a compromise with him.
