"Today's meeting is adjourned. What needs to be done next is as you wish."
The princess stood up, straightened her skirt, and smiled slightly.
"Hmm, let's go find my most adorable and charming vampire queen in the world. As for the specific details, we'll discuss them when we depart tomorrow evening. Now, everyone, please return to your rooms and get some rest, so you can spend your last comfortable and peaceful night in the castle."
"Everyone here can come together to pay homage to the Queen. If you are worried about encountering any mishaps on the way, the eleventh seat of the council and captain of the Blood Shadow—'Liuli'—will also serve as your bodyguard."
Ye Liuli poked her cheek in dissatisfaction: "Just call me by my name. You don't mind using so many nicknames. I find it tiring to hear them, even if you don't find it troublesome."
The princess chuckled: "Hehe, do you like the new task I've assigned you?"
Ye Liuli waved her hand and said, "We're family, whatever makes you happy. As long as your requests aren't excessive, I'll do whatever you say."
...
Princess Lingxi clapped her hands and said:
"Alright, meeting adjourned then..."
Yin Shang called out, "Wait a minute!"
Lingxi was immediately displeased.
"Did I warn you not to interrupt me?"
The princess's royal authority still made Yin Shang wary, but when he looked at Solid beside him, who looked worried, he instantly felt more confident.
"Ahem, where is my Holy Sword? Shouldn't it be returned to me? My partner, Solid Reinhardt, lost her connection with the Holy Sword after fusion and resurrection. For a spirit, not having a physical body means being unable to replenish its energy, which is extremely dangerous."
"Furthermore, the Holy Sword was originally my weapon, so both morally and logically, I have to take it back to confirm whether it can be reunited with her."
Under Yin Shang's barrage of questions, Ling Xi adopted a "just remembered" expression, a stark contrast to her previous indifference.
"Oh, is that what it is? Then let's resolve it now. Everyone else can leave now, including you, Wandering Knight."
“Miss Solid, please stay. I will personally hand over the Holy Sword to her. I will also teach her some common sense that every spirit girl should know.”
Yin Shang was taken aback: "This..."
Lingxi laughed: "The Holy Sword has been inside me for quite a while now. After all, it's not my true form, so it's not as easy to handle as before. Do you want to watch me take it out? That's a little... indecent, isn't it?"
Solid said, "Brother Yin, the Queen is very kind to me. She's the one who treated me in the castle. Just trust her."
With even Solid saying this, Yin Shang could no longer obstruct the process.
"Alright... Your Highness, just don't do anything strange to her."
Yin Shang left the conference hall with the group. Watching his retreating figure, the princess chuckled.
"Of course I wouldn't do anything to her..."
"...Yeah, right."
...
gurgle—
Nourishes—
boo.
With a crisp, strange sound, the tip of the holy sword emerged completely from the princess's abdomen, and it was removed intact.
She rubbed her lower abdomen, around her navel, looking awkward.
"Ugh... I feel a bit empty, and itchy and weird. But I do feel like I've lost several pounds."
"Here you go. I, the prince, always keep my word."
...
Solid took the holy sword and frowned.
“My true self… well, it is indeed that, but I don’t seem to be able to fully connect with it anymore.”
She lowered her head, looking slightly sad.
"Is it because of this body? Assimilating this body as an additional spirit form seems to have made the Holy Sword incompatible with me..."
Lingxi tilted her head: "Huh? That's certainly possible. This body of mine is originally a spirit body, but it has been fused with a human soul... And a situation like yours is indeed the first time I've encountered one like this."
"But it's not impossible."
Lingxi shook her index finger.
"If you keep it inside your body for a while, you'll be able to reconnect with it."
“Really?!” Solid asked.
She smiled and said, "Hehe, of course! Why don't you give it a try?"
Naïve Solid nodded:
"it is good!"
...
"but..."
A hint of bloodlust flashed in Lingxi's eyes.
"Hmm... Your body, having been infused with blood energy and blessed by holy light, seems to have an excellent adaptability to various supernatural powers after transforming into a spirit body."
At this moment, Solid's hands radiated golden light as she gradually absorbed the holy sword into her body.
"Hmm... Although I am a Holy Light artifact spirit, I don't seem to be repelled by the omnipresent dark barrier of this castle. However, I can't remember why I have blood energy and why I don't anymore."
Lingxi moved closer to her and smiled slightly.
"Those are not important."
"Since we don't know how well you adapt to light and darkness, then... let me, the prince, find out for myself."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Lingxi grabbed her chin and forcibly kissed her lips.
*Coo-choo*
"Ugh?!"
Solid cried out in alarm, caught off guard, her body instantly paralyzed.
...
A black mist emanated from Lingxi's body, making her crimson eyes appear even more blood-red.
"hehe..."
She gently embraced Solid, and the black mist instantly entangled the nun in her arms, still not letting go of her lips.
*Coo-choo*
*Coo-choo*
...
...
"Hmm, it absorbed a lot obediently."
"How about preparing a little surprise for the little knight? Hehe..."
...
"good?"
Chapter 104 Ready to go
The next day, evening.
After a long and peaceful day, those who needed to see the vampire queen gathered in her boudoir, ready to depart.
This time, Yin Shang was the last to arrive.
Reinhardt lay motionless on his head, seemingly fast asleep, emitting peaceful snores.
"Meow..."
As for Yin Shang himself, things don't look so good.
Not only did he have heavy dark circles under his eyes, but his prominent cheek lines also highlighted his current weakness.
...
"Oh, oh, you've finally arrived, little knight. How did you sleep last night?"
Princess Lingxi covered her face and grinned mischievously.
"You don't look too well. How about trying the blood soup I made for those who are weak? It's a highly nourishing royal dish that I specially prepared for the Queen."
Yin Shang suddenly realized: "You...you! It really was you—"
"Oh dear, don't be so surprised. It's as if I, the prince, have done something wrong."
She shrugged without any hesitation.
"The Holy Sword has been returned, and it has reconnected with your lovely spirit companion. Not only is she unharmed, but I haven't done anything to her. You should be thanking me, shouldn't you?"
"Nothing was done?!" Yin Shang felt that she was simply lying through her teeth.
Lingxi nodded: "Yes? I just noticed that she was a little reserved, so I gave her a slight hint."
She smiled.
"Judging from your expression... you actually had a pretty good night, didn't you?"
...
【Brother Yin... Meow...】
Hehe... The Holy Sword needs to be replenished with a lot of power...
Give it all to me, Brother Yin... give me all your power...
[Hmph...Master...from now on...you can never leave me again.]
...
Yin Shang blushed and shivered. He hadn't expected Solid to be so terrifying when she took the initiative; he was almost completely drained.
Although, as the saying goes, "dry wood and raging fire have cooked the rice into a fait accompli"...
But it was still too scary, and it was definitely too early.
At least in the short term, Yin Shang would never want to see Solid being so proactive again.
He is currently in a state of profound contemplation, questioning the meaning of life, while also feeling a lingering fear that he might not be able to shoulder this responsibility.
But in any case, Solid has already declared his "sovereignty," and he must take full responsibility from now on.
"Oh! Your Highness! You are truly unreasonable!"
Yin Shang pulled over a chair in frustration, staring at the "culprit" with a displeased expression.
Lingxi smiled.
"Hmph, if you hesitate too much, you'll only regret it when you lose it. I, this prince, have been there before. You'll thank me later. Hehe..."
Yin Shang waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, let's get down to business. Is everyone here? When do we set off?"
He glanced around, taking a quick look at the members of the procession who were about to go to see the Queen in her chambers.
...
First, there's this strange blonde "nun" in front of me.
She changed into that bewitching and eerie nun's habit, completely different from Solid's proper nun's uniform. This girl didn't look like a proper nun at first glance, but rather like a fallen nun who couldn't wait for others to see that she had "fallen". She didn't want to hide her vampire characteristics at all, and the details of her clothing and accessories were also very flamboyant in a vampire style.
Yin Shang didn't want to criticize her outfit at all, because the princess kept grinning mischievously with a "come and criticize me" expression.
Yin Shang knew that if he complained about this, he would lose.
As for that young lady... to be precise, Ludwig, who has already been crowned as a vampire princess, is currently having a pillow fight with Lochina on the princess's soft bed.
"Lochina, take this—"
"I'm dodging! Ouch, it hurts so much, sister—"
Why does she always manage to do something inappropriate in the wrong place at the wrong time?
