Chapter 13 The first drop of blood
Cecilia was woken up by the wet heat on her face.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the little raccoon that he brought back yesterday lying beside him, staring at him without blinking.Seeing Cecilia wake up, she shook her tail excitedly, stuck out her tongue and licked her face a few more times.

Xicilia laughed and hid back, "Little raccoon, don't make trouble, it's so itchy."

Of course the little raccoon couldn't understand Xicilia's words. It thought it was playing around with it, and became more excited. It wanted to jump directly into Xicilia's arms, but was intercepted in mid-air up.

Qi Zhi pinched the civet cat by the back of its neck and threw it directly into the nest on the ground.The little raccoon rolled around in the nest, aggrieved and frightened, a pair of cat moos stared at Xicilia closely, and let out a low cry in his throat, "Meow~".

Seeing its pitiful appearance, Xicilia felt distressed instantly, "It's still pregnant with a baby, Qi Zhi, don't throw it away."

He got off the bed with bare feet, squatted down to the side of the cat's litter, stretched out his hand and rubbed the little raccoon's head.The little civet cat took advantage of the situation and rubbed against Xicilia's soft palm, it was very obedient.People who didn't know really thought it was an ordinary house cat.

"Your Highness, the weather is just right tonight, do you want to go out for a stroll?"

"Yes!" Cecilia liked all the scenery outside the castle, and she hadn't looked at the little squirrel on the big pine tree for a while.Without Qi Zhi's help, he ran to the bathroom to tidy up.

Only two creatures, Qi Zhi and Xiaoli, remained in the huge bedroom.The little raccoon hid in the nest and shivered, not daring to make a sound.

"Qi Zhi." Xicilia poked her head out of the bathroom, her expression fluctuating, she hesitated to speak.

"What's the matter?" Qi Zhi put down the work in his hands and paced over.

"I seem to have gained weight." Xicilia wanted to cry but had no tears.The blood clan is a race that loves beauty extremely, and there is not a single man or woman in the clan who is not beautiful in appearance and tall in stature.Although Xicilia is still young, she is already amazing. Not to mention anything else, her slender waist and long legs are really enviable by many people.

When Xicilia changed her clothes today, she found that the clothes she was wearing were just the right size, but now she couldn't fit them.After finally wearing it, I found that it was really tight, especially the chest area.

Qi Zhi was the first to notice that Xicilia was getting heavier, but when he saw the little girl's crying expression, he thought about it, "Maybe it's because your highness has grown taller."

"Really?"

"En." Qi Zhi was too serious.

Cecilia felt a little relieved, and was finally willing to push open the door of the bathroom and come out.She is really fat, but she is not fat in the traditional sense. Xicilia already has the exquisite curves of a girl who is protruding forward and backward, and her stature has also been raised a lot. The long skirt that was just dragging the floor is now Know the ankle.

Since she woke up, in such a short time, Xicilia's growth rate is surprising.Reminiscent of Ashbourn's behavior yesterday, Qi Zhi understood.

Xicilia has been asleep for so long, her life seems to have stopped, and even her hair no longer grows, and she has always maintained the original appearance.Now that she is awakened, the seal in her body is getting weaker and weaker, and she has shown an astonishing growth rate. It is estimated that she will look like a girl in a short time.

The pearl is covered with dust, and it is quiet at first glance, and the room is full of light.Qi Zhi can also understand why Ashburn would rather take such a big risk than let him bring Hecilia to the human world alone.

"The clothes don't fit, I'll go and change a skirt for His Royal Highness."

Xicilia breathed a sigh of relief after changing a new dress, for fear that the clothes would be torn, and the maid who changed the clothes would see it, how embarrassing it would be.

As soon as Xicilia walked out of the castle with the little raccoon in his arms, Xicilia was like a bird released from a cage. Qi Zhi followed Xicilia slowly to clean up the mess, and then smiled at the lively back of the little girl. She smiled, she really looked like an ordinary girl no matter how she looked at it, no one would have thought that this was a pure-blooded little princess of the blood race.

Sicilia was sitting by the lake with the little raccoon in her arms, and stretched out a pair of white feet into the cool water of the lake, and the ripples slowly spread to the center of the lake, with the bright starry sky above her head and the boundless sky behind her. On the grassland, Xicilia took a deep breath of the fresh air, feeling comfortable physically and mentally.

No, the smell in the wind is wrong, a stranger broke in.

Xicilia stood up in astonishment, and Qi Zhi also keenly noticed something was wrong.

"Your Highness, get up first, let's go back first."

"Yeah." In such matters, Xicilia never willful nonsense.Withdrawing his feet from the lake, he called the little raccoon who was playing on the side to hold him in his arms.Qi Zhi put on the cloak for Xicilia, and seeing her white and delicate face made more white by the black cloak, Qi Zhi frowned, and put the hood on for her as well.

"It's windy, be careful that it will give you a headache."

"Oh." Xicilia didn't doubt it, she knew that Qi Zhi always treated her as an ordinary little girl, worried about her this, worried about her that, but she didn't say it, she quite enjoyed such worrying.

After walking a few steps, the wind outside was getting stronger and stronger, and the blades of grass on the grass were bent over, making a "rustling" sound, a depressing feeling that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind filled the building.

"It's too late." Qi Zhi took Xicilia's wrist and hid behind the pine tree.This is a huge tree, and I don't know how many years it has grown here. It is so thick that it takes 7 or 8 adults to hug it.

After a while, a few black shadows flashed across the field. They were still on the side of the mountain just now, and they arrived at the gate of the old castle in a while.

Xicilia poked her head out from behind Qi Zhi, glanced secretly, pointed at the people standing in front of the castle, and whispered in Qi Zhi's ear, "Qi Zhi, I know them."

A gust of air carried a sweet fragrance across Qi Zhi's ears, seemingly absent, and swept across the skin lightly, causing a burst of numbness.Qi Zhi lowered his eyes uncomfortably, and saw a pair of delicate little hands tightly clutching his sleeves, his skin was milky white, his nails were pink, and even his fingers were beautifully born, really delicate everywhere.

Xixilia didn't notice Qi Zhi's stiffness, fearing that she would be discovered, she leaned closer to Qi Zhi and said, "They are my father's brothers and nephews, I have seen them before I fell asleep, the life of a blood race is very long , the appearance stays in the most powerful period, usually when they are young and middle-aged, so even after such a long time, I can still recognize them."

Xicilia was a little proud, her rosy lips curled up slightly, and she didn't receive Qi Zhi's compliment. Xicilia looked away, and found that Qi Zhi was rarely stiff and dazed, and was always full of gentle light brown. His eyes were covered by drooping eyelashes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Are you afraid?
Cecilia reflected on herself, she was really incompetent.An outsider suddenly came to the castle, obviously with malicious intentions, as a powerless human being, Qi Zhi is definitely afraid.

Thinking of this, Xicilia felt overwhelmed with guilt, and didn't know what to do for a while. After thinking for a long time, she stood on tiptoe and covered Qi Zhi's eyes with her hands, "It's okay, brother will send them away, don't be afraid .”

Qi Zhi came back to his senses, his eyelashes swept across Xicilia's palm in the blink of an eye.Knowing what Xicilia was worried about, Qi Zhi gave a low laugh, his voice was low and hoarse, like a silky velvet cake.

It's crazy, seeing a little girl can still be stupefied.The elder brother had just entrusted her to him, and if he knew what he was thinking, he would have swallowed him alive.Qi Zhi collected his mind, took Xicilia's hand from his eyes, and then kept a little distance from her. He didn't want to be a beast.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Xicilia took a look at him, and seeing that Qi Zhi's expression was indeed as usual, she no longer doubted it, and looked in the direction of the castle again.After a while, Ashburn came out with the soldiers. He was wearing a straight prince uniform, and the huge cloak behind him was rustling in the wind.The people of the blood race are all good-looking, and Ashburn stood at the front with a long body, and the night could not hide his expression.

Cecilia's eyesight and hearing are not comparable to that of ordinary people. Although they are far away, she can clearly see and hear their conversation.

"Uncle, aunt, cousin Esvia, long time no see."

Duke Hicks, who was called Uncle, looked up and down Ashburn, and then patted him on the shoulder, "When your father passed away, I was also heartbroken. But I didn't expect that such a short time You have grown up like this, and you are already comparable to your father. Uncle is very pleased."

"Uncle praised me absurdly. I can only support the foundation left by my father. I'm not as good as my cousin. I'm very intelligent and talented."

Hearing Ashbourne's praise, Esvia crossed her arms around her chest, raised one corner of her mouth, and let out a contemptuous snort from her nasal cavity.It can be said that he and Ashburn grew up together. They haven't seen each other for a long time, but the superficial bragging and perfunctory skills have improved a lot.

"Esvia! You have a better attitude!" Duke Hicks warned in a low voice.

"It's okay, my cousin is still as genuine as before." Ashburn waved his hand, expressing his indifference.

Esvia was too lazy to watch them doing Tai Chi, so she simply turned around, her wine-red hair was blown up, revealing her smooth forehead.

Seeing Aisvia turn around suddenly, Xicilia shrank back in fright, and slammed straight into Qi Zhi's arms.

Esvia keenly noticed the movement over there, narrowing his long and narrow eyes slightly.

"Go in quickly, I have someone prepare the best food and singing and dancing in the hall." Ashburn glanced at the pine trees in the distance, and motioned sideways for them to go in.

Esvia raised his eyebrows and followed Duke Hicks into the castle without struggling for too long.

"Huh~ I was scared to death." Xicilia breathed a sigh of relief, and complained to Qi Zhi, "Did you see that red-haired man? He is my cousin, my nightmare."

"Nightmare?" Qi Zhi rubbed Xicilia's head comfortingly.

"Yes, he used to bully me all the time. He was so cruel. I used to avoid him." Xicilia sighed, looking sadly at the brightly lit castle not far away, "You said Why did they come here suddenly? How can I go back later? I really don't want to see that cousin."

Xicilia has never experienced that battle, she doesn't know that there are very few pure bloods left until now, and she doesn't know what kind of precious existence she is. She just wants to avoid the devil in the castle.Of course, Qi Zhi didn't intend to tell her either.
