After quickly wearing the second male lead who was rejected

Chapter 150 Lilia's Mother (9)

After leaving the Sunflower Book Club, Gu Chang got on the carriage and prepared to return to the palace.

He supported his face with one hand and leaned back in his chair, thinking that he could basically ignore Slaley.

Just wait for the king to die, and the book will be published.

But when Gu Chang thought about what he saw that night, he felt helpless.

Anna was obviously hiding something from him, but if he asked, there was a high probability that Anna would not tell him.

Perhaps he could find some time to look around the king's palace and see if he could find anything.

Inside the palace.

Michael told the king the news he had received.

The king lying on the bed looked obviously unhappy.

"Ten days?! Can my current body survive ten days?!" The king said in a bad tone. He clenched his fists and hit the bed hard to vent his emotions.

Michael just stood quietly by the bed. After the king's emotions calmed down, he said, "Your Majesty, you can use the Angel's Tears to hold on for a while longer."

"I feel like Angel's Tears is no longer of any use." The king gasped.

"Do you need Elder Quillon to come and check on your health?" Michael asked.

"I don't want to see him. As soon as the twins are born, you must kill him." Under the king's loose eyelids, there were cloudy eyes with a murderous look.

He is old, but his heart is still young.

It was for this reason that the king was reluctant to die.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Michael said respectfully.

Time flew by and it was evening.

Gu Chang had already changed into black clothes and was ready to go to the king's palace on time.

When the pointer pointed to ten o'clock, Gu Chang asked the system to check if there were any other people nearby. After letting the system plan a safe and hidden route, Gu Chang went down from the window.

But before Gu Chang went there, Cedric had already found Michael.

Michael was in his bedroom, wearing only a simple shirt and trousers, his bare feet on the soft carpet, smiling at the uninvited guest.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?" Michael asked politely.

When Michael returned to his bedroom, he saw a strange man who had suddenly appeared in his room. The man had black hair and blood-red eyes. This reminded Michael of a vampire.

Cedric asked in a deep voice, "Who turned you into a vampire?"

Michael was slightly stunned. He walked to the bed and sat down, not afraid of Cedric's cold eyes at all. "Who are you?"

"The blood in your body will tell you." Cedric said coldly.

Suddenly, Michael clutched his hand over his heart, his brow furrowed in pain.

He had no idea what Cedric had done.

Michael felt a sharp pain in his brain, like a needle prick.

The scene in front of his eyes began to blur, and in a flurry of snow-like fragments, he saw a dark mountain.

Then there was an endless snowfield all around, and a biting cold rose from the soles of my feet.

Michael felt as if he was in another person's body and he could only observe the surrounding situation from this person's perspective.

Someone came over and seemed to be talking to this person.

Suddenly a tall figure appeared in front of him.

The people around began to panic and everyone ran away in the direction behind them.

"It's Cedric Gareth! He's going to kill us!"

"Are we werewolves the only ones to be killed?!"

"Run! Run!"

The last image was of Cedric's blood-red eyes.

Michael suddenly came back to his senses and found himself lying on the ground, his body still trembling with the fear of death.

"The composition of your blood is somewhat complicated." Cedric's voice sounded beside him.

Michael forced himself to sit up, leaning against the bed, and looked at his right hand. When he saw that there was no wound on his right hand, he raised his left hand and looked at it.

Michael thought the wound must have healed.

"Who is the vampire who transformed your body?" Cedric didn't care what Michael was looking for. He just wanted to know who could allow both vampire and werewolf blood to coexist in a human body.

Michael pursed his lips, his brown eyes were like the calm surface of a lake, "What is your relationship with His Highness Helain?" He smelled Gu Chang's scent on Cedric.

"If you don't tell me, you'll die." Cedric didn't have the patience to chat with this person.

He had already made up his mind that if Michael refused to speak, he would use other means to make this person speak.

"Okay, I want you to help me find a girl named Neve. I'll tell you if you promise me." Michael said casually, "Even though you are a prince, I won't suffer any loss if we have to fight."

"You..." Cedric was about to say, when he suddenly noticed something strange.

The scene in front of him suddenly changed. At this moment, Cedric saw a woman with long hair dragging Gu Chang into a pool of blood.

Michael only felt a flash before his eyes, and Cedric disappeared in front of him.

He stood up and his expression began to become serious.

Gu Chang came to the basement under the guidance of the system.

The system was still blabbering about how dark and scary the basement looked, but Gu Chang had no time to comfort it. He had to be careful on the stairs, or else he would fall if he missed a step.

Gu Chang only breathed a sigh of relief when he stepped on flat ground.

He first asked the system to check if there were other people or ghosts in the basement.

System: We can’t detect ghosts either...

"Host, there is a woman in a white dress on your right looking at you." The system said quietly.

Gu Chang, “…”

It seemed as if he had accidentally walked into a supernatural film set.

Gu Chang walked to the right. The light in the basement was insufficient, and he could only vaguely see some things.

The woman in the white dress that the system mentioned is a living person.

When Gu Chang walked up to her, he found that the woman's hands and feet were chained, and her hair was messy and she lowered her head, as if she didn't notice Gu Chang's arrival.

"Hello?" Gu Chang squatted down and greeted softly.

Since the system said that there was only one person in the basement, Gu Chang thought about asking her first to find out what this basement was used for.

Moreover, the air in the basement was very turbid and mixed with the smell of blood.

When the woman heard Gu Chang's voice, she raised her head slightly, and looked at Gu Chang with her lifeless eyes through her hair. She opened her mouth and made a slight sound from her throat.

"Water..." the woman said weakly.

Gu Chang stood up and looked around.

I saw a glass of water on a table not far away.

Gu Chang, “······” Why is the water right here?

"System, are you sure there is no one else in this basement?" Gu Chang confirmed again.

The system patted its chest and said confidently, "Please, host, do not question the system's capabilities."

"Okay." Gu Chang walked to the table and picked up the glass of water.

Then Gu Chang handed the glass of water to the woman.

The woman eagerly took the water and drank it, gulping it down.

In the quiet basement, the sound is particularly obvious.

The woman's condition improved significantly after drinking the water. She placed the cup on the ground and looked at Gu Chang. "You are... His Highness Helain, right?"

"Yes. What's your name? What is this basement used for?" Gu Chang asked.

The woman stood up, her chains rattling. "I am Lilia's mother, Fennia."

Gu Chang: 0o0.

Finnia used her hands to push the hair away from her face, revealing a face similar to Lilia's.

It's just that her face is very young.

"You... aren't you dead?" Gu Chang asked with some confusion.

Finnia nodded. "Indeed, I am indeed dead in the outside world. But there is no need for me to lie to you. I am still alive."

"Living in this basement all the time." Fennia said this with a hint of mockery.
