My sister is Luna

This is a corner of the Xuanyong Imperial Palace.

A simple palace sits here, and although no one comes often, it remains clean.

Cain followed Ying Zheng here, and the two chatted for a long time before Ying Zheng reluctantly let him go and went to see Mi Yue.

There are hundreds of soldiers guarding this place, with soldiers standing in every corner.

In Kai's mind, Empress Dowager Mi Yue of Xuanyong was an evil woman. She was imprisoned in this deep palace and might never see the sun again. She would live out her lonely days here.

As soon as Cain entered the courtyard of the palace, he saw a man covered in black and red armor who looked like a monster at first glance. He was hunched over, like a decaying old man, with a huge scythe hanging on the ground. His aura was deep and restrained, as calm as a lake.

Bai Qi...the strongest general in Xuan Yong!

Upon hearing that Ying Zheng was going to Mi Yue's palace, he had been waiting for a long time to ensure his safety.

"Your Majesty." Bai Qi bowed to Ying Zheng, his already hunched body bending even more.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Bai Qi. You're being too humble, almost kneeling down like a servant. You are a great general."

Ying Zheng nodded, outwardly indifferent and displaying the composure of a king, but a long sword flew out from behind him and helped Bai Qi up.

"Yes," Bai Qi replied without any emotion.

“This is Cain. I have already granted him permission to visit the Empress Dowager,” Ying Zheng said to Bai Qi.

“Yes…” Bai Qi hesitated for a moment before saying.

"Empress Dowager Mi Yue is my grandmother. She can be considered a legendary woman. In the early stages of her reign, she was supposed to guide Xuan Yong in a good direction. However, in the later stages, she became obsessed with youth and immortality, causing chaos among the vampires and plunging Xuan Yong into darkness..." Ying Zheng's feelings towards Mi Yue were complicated.

"Once you're inside, don't beat around the bush. Just tell her your purpose directly. Don't waste too much time, and don't be fooled by her. If you haven't come out in half an hour, we'll force our way in," Ying Zheng instructed Cain before they went in.

"I understand, Your Majesty," Cain said before entering the palace.

Only Ying Zheng and Bai Qi remained in the courtyard.

They didn't say anything; they just remained silent, a tacit understanding between them.

……

Upon entering the deep palace, darkness immediately filled the view.

Cain saw a woman lying lazily on her side at the end of the corridor.

"Hehehe, oh dear, a rare guest has arrived. It's been so lonely for so long, finally someone has come."

The voice of a beautiful woman with purple hair, alluring and gorgeous, drifted from afar. Her soft and charming voice, full of mature charm, seemed to soothe the soul, and the lingering resentment in her tone was captivating.

She was all alone in this vast palace.

When Cain approached, the two were only ten steps apart.

She opened her eyes, a look of confusion flashing across them. She propped her cheek up with one hand, a smile appearing on her lips, utterly captivating.

Mi Yue wore a thin gauze dress that barely concealed her full and perfect mature body. The pure white color, combined with her charming and graceful figure, made her as alluring as a ripe peach, as captivating as a glass of rich wine.

She is an absolutely stunning noblewoman—that's the thought that would cross everyone's mind the moment they see Mi Yue, but unfortunately, such allure has no effect on Cain.

After all, the person opposite was no pushover. Their eyes held a cold and cunning expression, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows. Mi Yue was a woman who knew how to use her beauty as a weapon, and she was also shrewd and calculating. If one was not careful, one would fall into the trap she had already woven.

Like a butterfly caught in a spider's web, no matter how hard it struggles, it is useless; it can only watch in despair and pain as the spider devours it step by step.

"Stranger, why have you come here?"

Mi Yue half-opened her eyes and spoke softly. Her elegant and noble demeanor, combined with the aura of a ruler, made one want to submit to her, or perhaps conquer her; the desires within seemed to be drawn out and amplified the moment one encountered her.

"I've long heard of the Empress Dowager's beauty, and seeing her today confirms it. It seems my trip was worthwhile." Cain complimented her, but inwardly he thought:

Imprisoned in the palace and guarded by others, Mi Yue, as a vampire, needed the blood of young and pure maidens to maintain her youthful appearance. But after her downfall, how could anyone still provide her with the blood of pure maidens? She must be at least fifty or sixty years old now, so why does she still look so young?

This was a point of doubt in Cain's mind.

In Cain's perception, Mi Yue possessed two distinct auras: one was heavy with the smell of blood, and the other was pure and clean. The combination of these two contradictory auras was extremely strange.

Cain deduced that Mi Yue must have a hidden plan that even Ying Zheng and Bai Qi had not discovered or known, and he began to be wary.

"Young master, you are quite handsome, and your words are so sweet, but you haven't answered my question yet."

Mi Yue giggled, her eyes alluring, and she lightly covered her lips, displaying her captivating charm.

"The Empress Dowager once had a Taoist priest who offered the secret of immortality in order to gain the protection of Xuan Yong. The Xuan Yong bloodline was born from this, and then his whereabouts became unknown. I have some connection with this person. I wonder if the Empress Dowager is aware of this?" Cain remained expressionless, unmoved by Mi Yue's beauty.

"I think the Empress Dowager should know Xu Fu's origins, or rather, what was Xu Fu fleeing from? Perhaps some hell?"

Upon hearing the last two words, Mi Yue's pupils contracted slightly.

She really knows something!

Cain noticed this subtle change and was delighted.

"Hell? Is that the place in Western legends where sinners go after they die? Are you a missionary?"

Mi Yue gracefully tapped her chin with her slender fingers, thought for a moment, smiled slightly, and said.

"The Empress Dowager is really good at playing dumb," Cain chuckled.

"What good would it do me to tell you? You've been here all this time, and once you get an answer, you'll definitely turn around and leave. I want to talk to someone more, or I'll go crazy!"

Mi Yue smiled back, speaking with the melancholy of a lonely young woman who had been lonely for a long time.

"So what do you want? His Majesty and the General are both outside."

Cain blinked, hoping that Mi Yue's conditions would be reasonable and that she wouldn't have too many illusions, such as letting her out.

"I am stuck in this palace forever, when will it end? I know I am guilty of a lot, and wanting to get out is just wishful thinking."

"But my heart feels empty, lonely, and cold. My heart often throbs and races. How I long for a great man to warm this weak woman like me... Then I would feel content and happy..."

Mi Yue lowered her eyes sadly, pressing her full, soft breasts as if they were aching slightly. She was constantly tempting Cain.

Mi Yue licked her full, plump lips, her charming cheeks flushed, like a shy young girl. Her eyes sparkled with a hint of romance, as she awaited Cain's answer.

Her shy and alluring appearance would have captivated anyone else, leaving them completely disoriented and yearning to pounce on her immediately, gallop across the battlefield, and ride away on horseback.
