The Vampire Empress: Blood Queen & Her Kings

Jiang Ying Yue sat under the same tree that stood near the shore of the river where she had been practicing to call out the spiritual essence of the water.

No matter how hard she tried, she was failing miserably in concentrating on her practice. Time and time again, her mind kept returning to all that happened the previous night between her and the Third Prince.

When she woke up this morning, her entire body was burning up and she was covered in sweat, all thanks to the Third Prince who refused to leave her dreams.

Just thinking about the dream that she had the previous night made her cheeks flame in embarrassment. She never knew that just a few words from Wu Xie would cause so much disturbance in her life.

"Why are you not practicing?" 

She was pulled out of her thoughts when she heard the familiar voice of Qing Shan as he appeared in front of her in thin air. He loved to do that, appearing and disappearing whenever he wanted.

"I'm not in the mood." She replied in a small tone as she kept her eyes fixed on the ground. She knew pretty well that the First Prince won't like her excuse. He was one of those types of guys who hated listening to excuses no matter how right and justified your excuse was.

"It's been nearly eleven days and you still haven't succeeded in calling the spiritual essence out. Looking at you right now, I can finally see why." The man was definitely trying to provide her but she was not even in the mood of getting provoked by his sharp words.

"Don't waste your time on me tonight. No matter whatever you are going to say to boil my blood, I'm really not going to start practicing in anger. I'm too tired to do that tonight. I just want a good night's sleep." She murmured while resting her head on her knees, still refusing to look at him.

There was silence for the next several minutes and she almost thought that he had left her like for a change. However, she soon realized how stupid she was to think like that when she heard the movements of his walking towards her.

She was sure to ignore him but her plan failed when she was abruptly pulled into his strong arms, making her squeal in surprise.

She was ready to question his sanity but then her voice freeze in her throat when her eyes landed on the Third Prince who was standing right behind his brother. 

"I heard that you are not feeling great today. What's wrong?" Wu Xie asked as he came to stand next to where Qing Shan was standing while carrying her bridal style in his arms.

"I'm just tired and want to sleep." She spoke in a tiny voice as she rested her face against Qing Shan's shoulder to hide herself from Wu Xie.

"Didn't you take a break yesterday?" Qing Shan asked her as he kept standing there with her in his arms.

"I didn't get much sleep last night." She replied in a tiny voice was hiding her face, even more, to save herself from looking at the Third Prince.

"Let me take care of her." She heard Wu Xie speaking to his brother and she felt herself shivering at the thought of what his words really implied.

"You want me to give her another day off?" Qing Shan asked his brother while arching both of his eyebrows.

However, Wu Xie didn't seem to mind him at all. He just nodded in the direction of their mate as he asked, "Do you think she's in the state of doing anything at the moment?" 

Qing Shan spared a quick look at the girl whom he was holding in his arms and then out a sigh. She sure seemed weird. She had been acting like that ever since he brought her for practice a few hours ago. It seemed like she was really too tired to carry on.

"Fine. Make sure that she's well-rested. I'm going to leave her in your care. I'll be heading to the Xingling City with Ah Shu." He informed his brother before letting him take the girl from his arms.

For a moment he felt like she was trying to grab his arms but then she was securely wrapped in Wu Xie's arms and she just buried her face in the crook of his neck and didn't even spare him, Qing Shan, a single look.

"I'll be leaving now. Have a good night's sleep." He whispered to her while patting her head softly. He gave a nod to his brother before he teleported away.

As soon as Qing Shan was gone, Jiang Ying Yue felt like she was left with the king of hell to be punished for her sins.

The Third Prince didn't speak at all as he started walking. Since her face was buried against his neck, she had no idea about where he was taking her. She just decided to stay silent and let him do whatever he wanted.

They kept walking for a long time, probably around ten or so minutes before he finally came to a stop.

"Brother Shan thinks that you need to sleep in order to get back to your previous self. But let me ask you. Is that what you really need to get back to your usual self?" She heard him asking next to her ear which made her shiver a little.

At first, she thought about ignoring his question but immediately realized how stupid the idea was. Ignoring him at this moment would be her biggest mistake and she could not make any mistakes at the moment. Hence, she slowly shook her head in denial as a response to his question.

She felt him moving again but he barely took a few steps towards before she found herself being lowered. The very next second, she was sitting on the edge of a huge bed while the Prince stood right in front of her. 

"Exactly... You don't need sleep right now..." He whispered in a small voice as he trailed his fingers down her temple and towards her chin where he tilted her head to make her look up at him. "What you need right now... is me. Right, Ying'er?" 

The question left her spellbound as she tried to not think exactly how right he was. She had been craving him since the last night. He was the reason why she couldn't sleep the entire night. He was the reason why she was unable to concentrate on anything throughout the day. He was the reason her body was filled with so much pent-up energy. He was the reason she was not acting like her usual self.

He was absolutely right! What she had been craving since the previous night was him.

"I'm still waiting for your answer... mmph!" Wu Xie found himself silenced when the soft lips of his girl finally found their way towards his mouth. How long had he waited to taste her? And at last, it was finally the time. 

He found her wrapping her arms around his shoulders as she moved to deepen the kiss and he happily let her enjoy a few moments to her liking before he was going to take charge of everything that was going to happen next in his bed-chamber.

They were currently inside the palace in the Cloud Realm, inside his bed-chamber where no other woman had ever stepped her foot. Of course, his mother was an exception.

He slowly lowered both of them on the bed as he rested both his hands on either side of her head to keep his body from crushing hers. She looked so fragile but he wanted to test her boundaries.

He let her continue with her slow kisses for some more minutes but he finally started having a hard time controlling himself. Deciding that he had given her enough time to play, he finally moved of his hands to cup her nape as he finally deepened the kiss and took the charge. 

His lips moved fiercely against her while he slowly lowered his body to rest against her while making sure not to crush her with his weight. 

While he used one of his hands to angle her head, his other hand finally started roaming over her body, starting from his collarbone and then slowly trailing downwards to her breasts and then over her tummy where he stopped for the time being.

A soft moan slipped her lips as he lightly bit her lower lip. The sound was so alluring that he found himself biting her again just to hear her moan again. She didn't disappoint as she moaned again but also with a small gasp accompanied by it as she found him slowly untying the belt of her clothes. 

For a moment, her hands around his shoulders started to unfold but then she probably changed her mind because the next second, they once again tightened their hold around him as she opened her lips to give him the entrance that he was seeking.
