You Róng gritted his teeth, struggling to get up, but the tearing pain throughout his body rendered him helpless.
The blood族 who had grabbed You Róng and thrown him against the wall approached. He grabbed You Róng's hair again, pulling him up. Seeing the pale skin of his neck and the bloodstains, the blood族 could no longer suppress his craving.
The blood族 licked his lips, "Today, I must have a taste of this werewolf's flavor..."
As he spoke, the blood族 lowered his head and bit fiercely into You Róng's neck. The taste of warm blood drove the blood族 even more mad.
Simultaneously, in the large conference room upstairs, Lin Qīng Hé, who had been listening indifferently to Mu Shào Qīng and the others speak, detected the scent of blood in the air. Everyone's expressions changed drastically.
Lin Qīng Hé suddenly stood up, her face so cold it could freeze.
This was You Róng's blood!
Mu Shào Qīng, guessing what had happened, quickly said, "Progenitor, I'll send someone immediately..."
Before Mu Shào Qīng could finish speaking, Lin Qīng Hé used her abilities and vanished from their sight. Mu Shào Qīng knew something was wrong and urgently said, "Quick, follow her!"
Shāng Hé and the others nodded and quickly followed.
You Róng was held tightly by the blood族, completely unable to resist. Blood was slowly draining from his body, and his consciousness began to blur.
Was he going to die?
A thought suddenly appeared in You Róng's mind: Lin Qīng Hé had gone to great lengths to bring him back, saying she'd fatten him up before… She wouldn't be angry if a blood族 got to him first, would she? Would she regret not acting sooner?
Zhāng Yì, outside the restroom, also smelled the scent of You Róng's blood. His heart jolted. Just as he was about to go in, a figure was faster than him.
When Lin Qīng Hé appeared in the restroom, You Róng's consciousness was already blurry. Seeing her hazy silhouette, he thought he was hallucinating.
Lin Qīng Hé, seeing the pale and almost lifeless You Róng, felt rage surge through her chest. Her pupils turned crimson in an instant. The blood族 biting You Róng's neck was instantly flung away, crashing heavily against the wall.
His accomplice, who had been gleefully anticipating a feast, turned to see Lin Qīng Hé and trembled in fear. "Progenitor, you, how are you here… Ah!!!" Before he could finish, his neck was gripped by an unseen force. He fell to the ground, writhing in pain.
Freed from the blood族's control, You Róng's body went limp, about to collapse. Lin Qīng Hé's movements were swift as she flashed over and caught him.
Holding You Róng, Lin Qīng Hé saw the bloody bite marks on his neck continue to seep blood. The scent of blood stirred the primal instincts within her body. Coupled with her surging anger, it pushed her to the brink of losing control.
You Róng looked at Lin Qīng Hé, his lips moving, trying to say something silently. Lin Qīng Hé suddenly snapped back to reality, steadied herself, lowered her head, and licked the bleeding bite marks on his neck.
The blood族's saliva had the effect of rapidly healing wounds. If the bleeding wasn't stopped, You Róng would die from blood loss!
Seeing Lin Qīng Hé lower her head to his neck, You Róng's heart trembled. But before Lin Qīng Hé could heal his wound, his vision went black, and he lost consciousness.
The bloody wounds on You Róng's neck healed rapidly, and the restroom was filled with the pained screams of two blood族.
By the time Zhāng Yì, Mu Shào Qīng, and the others arrived, Lin Qīng Hé had already scooped up You Róng in her arms. Her pupils were red as blood, and she stared coldly at the two blood族 writhing on the ground.
Seeing this, Mu Shào Qīng immediately guessed Lin Qīng Hé's intentions and quickly said, "Progenitor! No! They are also pure-blooded blood族, they are…"
Before his words were fully spoken, Lin Qīng Hé's gaze sharpened, and an oppressive aura surged forth. Under the watchful eyes of Mu Shào Qīng and the others, the two blood族 exploded, their bodies turning into bloody messes on the ground, motionless.
Mu Shào Qīng was stunned, as were the patriarchs of the four great families.
These were pure-blooded blood族. Pure-blooded blood族 were already rare. Although they had offended Lin Qīng Hé, they believed she would at least show some leniency and spare their lives.
They never expected Lin Qīng Hé to kill two pure-blooded blood族 without batting an eye!
Lin Qīng Hé, holding You Róng, her expression icy, guessed the thoughts of Mu Shào Qīng and the others. She swept her gaze over them and said, word by word, "I will only say this once, and I will never repeat it. You all remember this! From now on, if anyone dares to touch him again, whether it's a pure-blooded blood族, a patriarch of the four great families, or an elder of the Senate, I will kill them without hesitation!"
After speaking, Lin Qīng Hé, ignoring the slightly strange looks from Mu Shào Qīng and the others, strode away with You Róng in her arms.
Seeing this, Zhāng Yì quickly followed.
Perhaps it was due to Lin Qīng Hé's anger, but as she stepped out of the Imperial Grand Hotel, her gaze turned cold. With a "bang," the windows and glass objects inside the hotel shattered almost instantly, and numerous surprised cries of blood族 could be heard from within.
Zhāng Yì nervously opened the car door. Lin Qīng Hé got in with You Róng, and Zhāng Yì quickly followed suit. The driver started the car and drove away.
Upstairs in the hotel.
Mu Shào Qīng stood outside the balcony, watching Lin Qīng Hé's car drive away until it disappeared into the night. His eyes flickered.
Chu Tiān Hào, standing behind him, exclaimed in surprise, "What is the origin of this werewolf? The Progenitor… seems to value him greatly?"
Nángōng Jié, with his arms crossed, pouted, "You don't need to tell us, we can all see that the Progenitor is not ordinary with this werewolf. I've been alive for twenty thousand years, and this is the first time I've seen the Progenitor get so angry."
Gù Yè nodded in agreement, "Ou Yáng Fēng was killed by the Progenitor, also because of this werewolf, right?"
The newly appointed patriarch of the Ou Yáng family, Ou Yáng Yuè, was sweating profusely and filled with anxiety.
Those two pure-blooded blood族 who didn't know their place were also from their Ou Yáng family! If they completely angered the Progenitor now, their Ou Yáng family would be finished!
Shāng Hé exchanged a glance with Mu Shào Qīng. Mu Shào Qīng stepped forward, "Let's discuss the Progenitor's matters less. It was those two blood族 who were in the wrong first today, and it was understandable for the Progenitor to kill them. Let's not mention this matter again. Pay more attention in the future and don't violate the contract and displease the Progenitor."
Everyone nodded. Chu Tiān Hào still wanted to discuss the matter of异种血族, but Mu Shào Qīng waved his hand, saying that they would stop for today and discuss it at the Senate some other day. Helpless, Chu Tiān Hào and the others had no choice but to disperse.
Inside the car.
Zhāng Yì nervously said, "Progenitor, it was my oversight just now. I didn't follow the young master into the restroom, which led to him being attacked by those two blood族. Please punish me!"
Lin Qīng Hé slightly raised her eyes and said coldly, "Don't let there be a next time, otherwise…"
Lin Qīng Hé paused. Zhāng Yì sensed the chill in her eyes and trembled inwardly, quickly saying, "Please rest assured, Progenitor! I guarantee there will never be a next time!"
Only then did Lin Qīng Hé relent, her cold expression softening. She looked down at the unconscious You Róng, her eyes filled with concern.
Were there hospitals that specialized in treating werewolves? Could she send You Róng there? Or would a regular human hospital suffice?
Before Lin Qīng Hé could figure anything out, Zhāng Yì understood her intention and said, "Progenitor, you don't need to worry too much. The young master just fainted from blood loss. Although he has injuries, the werewolf physique is different from ordinary humans. While not as robust as ours, they heal very quickly. So, the young master is not in mortal danger. He will recover after a few days of rest."
Hearing this, Lin Qīng Hé secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Mm, I understand."
Along the way, Lin Qīng Hé looked at You Róng, her expression lost in thought.
What she had feared a few days ago had happened. You Róng currently had no ability to protect himself against blood族… She needed to find a way to give him the ability to defend himself as soon as possible!
