My sister is Luna

“I refuse,” Cain said calmly.

"Huh?" Mi Yue was taken aback, perhaps because she didn't expect someone to ignore her charm. She had always thought that Cain was just pretending to be calm like those so-called gentlemen in the past.

"Stay here and join me in blissful bliss, wouldn't that be better?"

Mi Yue's cheeks were slightly flushed as if she had been drinking. She was somewhat unwilling. Men are all animals that think with their lower bodies. How could they be indifferent?

"Your Majesty, please have some self-respect." Cain remained unmoved.

"Humans can't escape desires after all, so why not indulge in them? This poor concubine only has this one small request, can you bear to refuse me, young master? I'll tell you whatever you want to know afterward~" Mi Yue said with a smile, exuding a sweet and seductive aura.

“There are plenty of handsome men like me out there, why does Your Majesty insist on having me?” Seeing Mi Yue still pretending to be a lovesick, lonely woman, Cain couldn’t understand why she was so persistent.

"Perhaps this is love at first sight?" Mi Yue tilted her head and said with an innocent look.

"It's a bit vulgar to say, but the moment I saw you, I felt numb and wet all over. You are the most attractive man I've ever met. I really want you to be my possession, and for me to cherish you forever."

Mi Yue stuck out her pink tongue and licked her lips, giving her the image of a lovesick woman.

If it were anyone else, they would have already let their guard down and been tempted.

Unfortunately, Cain had already seen through her false pretense, and he didn't believe Mi Yue's lies.

"Empress Dowager, aren't you tired of this? You're more concerned about how to get out and how to regain power, right? You'll be free and have plenty of handsome men to entertain you. I've come to you to make a deal. You tell me about Xu Fu, and it's impossible for me to help you get out, but I can give you some advice."

Cain didn't want to get entangled with Mi Yue any longer; he wanted to end the conversation as soon as possible.

He completely ignored my charm. Is he a blockhead? Or does he prefer men? If it weren't for the familiar scent he carried, like one of the "sources" of my affections, I wouldn't have given him the chance to get close. It would be beneath my dignity!

Mi Yue silently grumbled in her heart.

"Advice? Who do you think you are?"

Seeing that Cain remained unmoved, Mi Yue finally pouted in boredom, reverting to her noble and superior demeanor, but the desire in her eyes still lingered.

"I believe in the Empress Dowager. Such a heroine, who is no less capable than any man, will certainly not sit idly by and wait to die alone in this palace. Xuan Yong is becoming increasingly powerful, and you don't have much of a chance to get out. Even if you do escape, not many people will be willing to help you. You can only rely on yourself because the new monarch is more suitable than you..." Cain said slowly.

"But why aren't you anxious at all? Instead, you're lying here leisurely, trying to seduce me? You can't have given up on your fate, can you? How could you, who climbed your way up from the harem to the pinnacle of power, give up so easily? You're probably plotting in secret, waiting for the right moment to make a comeback." Cain stared directly into Mi Yue's eyes, as if trying to see right through her.

"Speaking of which, I recently encountered an incident of persecution against vampires. Perhaps it's a coincidence? I almost forgot, Empress Dowager Mi Yue is also a vampire. Humans won't help a different race, but what about vampires, who are also different races? Secretly stirring up hatred and prejudice against vampires among people will deepen the conflict between the two, and a fight will inevitably break out. Then you can step out and lead the vampires. With you, the former leader of the vampires, there will be a backbone for them. Wouldn't that make perfect sense? Become the representative of the vampires, initially believe that the vampires have won their rights and returned to the court, and then gradually regain power... Of course, this is just my guess, because you've always been here."

“Young master, slander is punishable under the laws of Xuanyong.” These words made Mi Yue raise an eyebrow.

“But the most important point is that, apart from you using unknown means to push things forward, you are sitting here without making a move, quietly sitting in the palace, looking like you are... waiting. What are you waiting for? Could it be that you have hidden something here? Are you waiting for something to be born to help you regain control of Xuan Yong?” Cain said to himself.

As she said this, a cold glint flashed in Mi Yue's eyes, which Cain noticed.

What made her want to kill me? What's inside this palace? What did Xu Fu leave behind in Xuanyong after he left?

"What did Xu Fu leave behind here? If it's related to hell, then I advise the Empress Dowager not to get involved with hell. It's not something you can control. If you've been used by Xu Fu, you'll only be dragged into a deeper hell from which you can't escape. It's not too late to confess sooner rather than later," Cain said seriously.

The unknown force of Hell is the biggest variable besides Di Jun. It attacks everyone indiscriminately, with intense hatred, especially towards divine creations like Miracle. It is like a collection of all resentment. The only way to deal with it is to destroy it and send it on its way.

"Is this your advice?" Mi Yue said, somewhat amused. She clearly didn't realize the seriousness of Cain's words.

"Hahaha, do you see my beautiful face? Beauty fades, and I should have a wrinkled face by now, but becoming a vampire has kept me young and full of life. This is what immortality is all about. Who in this world wants to die?"

Mi Yue stood up, displaying her slender yet alluring voluptuous figure, her face showing a sickly flush.

"Kain, you are still young, so of course you won't feel it. But as time goes by, death is approaching step by step, and aging begins to leave its mark on your body. Do you know this kind of pain that seems to slowly erode your heart?"

"The world is so beautiful, I just want to live longer. When you get old, you might be even more obsessed with seeking immortality than I am!"

"Hell? It's just a name for fear of the unknown. What's wrong with paying a price for youth and beauty?" Mi Yue seemed to be answering a different question.

"I absolutely adore my beautiful body!"

Mi Yue's words reminded him of his own clan's mad patriarch, who was beyond saving.

However, Cain learned a useful piece of information—Mi Yue is indeed connected to Hell. The more she tries to hide it, the more it shows that she is connected to Hell. In order to maintain her youth, it is not impossible for her to integrate into Hell. Mi Yue is such a person who is so crazy about youth.

It seems that's all we can ask for today. There's some connection between Hell and Mi Yue; perhaps they've made a deal...

Looking at Mi Yue, who was lost in her own world, Cain thought to himself.

“It seems the Empress Dowager is indeed unaware. I shall take my leave.” With that, Cain turned and left.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Cain seemed to feel a kind of tremor, but it disappeared in an instant.

Illusion?

With that thought in mind, Cain walked out of the palace.

He left without noticing a drop of blood floating in front of Mi Yue.

—That was Cain's blood.

"Empress Dowager, this is my last strength, and I will fulfill your wish." The aged voice rang in Mi Yue's ears.

"Well done, Xu Fu." Mi Yue smiled broadly.

Xu Fu did not answer. This Xu Fu had completed his mission, turning into a pool of flesh and blood, carefully stealing a drop of Cain's blood.

"Its color is bright and alluring, and it contains a certain aura and power of the same origin. It is the most suitable to use it to incubate and awaken..." Mi Yue said, mesmerized.

"At this moment, emerge into the world, announce your arrival to Xuan Yong, and help me reclaim the pinnacle of power!"

The blood trembled.

A blood-red egg engraved with complex and incomprehensible patterns appeared in the void.
