Chapter 391: Chapter 391: Selina’s Blessing in Disguise (Second Update)
 

Blood Mountain was about to be activated.

Above in the sky, the Blood Gate was gradually taking shape.

By the time Xue An and his group arrived, they found that quite a few of the Blood Clan had already gathered around the Blood Gate.

At the same time, many streaks of blood light were flying towards it at great speed.

These were members of the Blood Clan from all over Europe, preparing to attend the Council.

Quintina, along with Xue An and others, drew much attention upon their arrival.

After all, compared to those ancient bloodsuckers in medieval gowns, covered in thick lead makeup,

Quintina appeared exceptionally young and beautiful.

“A new Lady Marquess, how rare indeed!” an old member of the Blood Clan said with a chilly laugh.

“I like this Lady Marquess!” another said, face full of greed.

Meanwhile, Xue An’s eyes shone as he sized up the group of bloodsuckers.

Among these bloodsuckers, in addition to the marquises, there were actually several dukes present.

In Xue An’s eyes, these dukes were practically walking Blood Pearls!

“One, two, three…” Xue An silently counted, making up his mind.

He would not let a single duke get away!

Just then, the Blood Gate burst into form and slowly began to open.

A giant golden bat flew out, then transformed into a man with a haughty demeanor.

“Lord Harriman!” A multitude of Blood Clan members bowed in unison.

Harriman nodded arrogantly, and then, in a piercing voice, declared, “At today’s Council, all the councilors shall be in attendance!”

The many bloodsuckers stirred restlessly.

Many were surprised.

For past Blood Clan Councils, it was considered quite enough if just one councilor showed up—had something major happened for all of them to be present this time?

“I expect everyone to remain humble and restrained in the presence of the elders, understood?” Harriman spoke sharply.

“Yes!” the bloodsuckers responded in unison.

Pleased, Harriman nodded and with a wave of his hand, the bloodsuckers began to enter the Blood Gate in an orderly fashion.

When it was Quintina’s turn, Harriman suddenly frowned, “Wait!”

Quintina stopped in her tracks.

“How come I have not seen you before?”

Quintina bowed slightly, “I am a newly advanced Marquess!”

Harriman’s expression changed slightly, “A newly advanced Marquess?” He then scrutinized Quintina thoroughly.

“What is your name? Which family do you come from?”

“My name is Quintina, from the Cecil Family!”

“The Cecil Family?” Harriman furrowed his brows, thinking for a while with no recollection.

Perhaps it was a small family from some remote area.

Thinking this, Harriman became even more haughty, “Do you know the decorum for facing your superiors?”

Quintina nodded, “Yes!”

However, Harriman didn’t let Quintina pass, but instead pointed imperiously at Xue An.

“What are these two doing here?”

“They are my blood slaves!” Quintina stated.

“Blood slaves?” Harriman showed a look of disgust.

“This is the Blood Clan’s Holy Land, how can we allow such lowly creatures as blood slaves to enter? Get them out of here!”

Xue An slightly raised an eyebrow, not expecting there to be such arrogant and bullying behavior within the Blood Clan.

Just as he was about to react,

another streak of blood light arrived.

And, when it stopped, it turned out to be Selina.

By then, Selina had already returned to her previous attire.

She had tied her hair into twin ponytails again, applied her deathly makeup, wore a T-shirt and bikini shorts, and carried a baseball bat in her hand.

Xue An was slightly taken aback.

Selina first gave Xue An a respectful curtsy and then, chewing her gum, slowly walked towards Harriman.

Harriman, seeing it was Selina, showed an expression of embarrassment and fear.

“Little… Lady Witch, what brings you here?”

Selina blew a large bubble with her chewing gum and started laughing nervously at Harriman.

Yet her smile made cold sweat break out on Harriman’s forehead.

Although Selina was only of Marquis strength, there was a significant figure backing her, which even Harriman did not dare provoke.

“I heard you wouldn’t let my friend in,” Selina said with a mischievous smile.

“Ah, I truly didn’t know this was your friend!”

Before the words had even ended, Selina had picked up the baseball bat and swung it.

Bang!

Harriman was hit squarely on the forehead by that swing.

Although his Marquis strength as a member of the Blood Clan meant he wouldn’t be killed by the blow,

the hit still sent him flying more than ten meters, with blood flowing from his forehead.

“Not knowing is a reason?” Selina said coldly.

“No…” Harriman was about to say something when, seeing Selina lift the baseball bat again, he got so scared he turned and ran.

Selina aimed at Harriman’s retreating figure, took aim with the bat, and then hurled it with force.

The baseball bat traced a beautiful arc in the air and hit Harriman squarely in the back.

Harriman stumbled midair, nearly knocked down, then sped up his escape.

Selina clapped her hands, spat disdainfully on the ground, and then turned to face Xue An.

“My master, Benedict, feared you would encounter danger, so he sent me to assist you!”

Xue An regarded the respectfully faced Selina, his eyes flickered slightly, but a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“Your soul had already been severely damaged, I hadn’t expected that this soul-binding would turn out to be a blessing in disguise, healing your injuries!”

Selina chuckled, the madness in her eyes completely gone, and her gaze was filled with gratitude towards Xue An.

Just as Xue An said.

As a child, Selina had suffered extreme abuse, which even continued for a hundred years.

It was only after she grew into a Marquis that she managed to break free from that shadow.

But such prolonged abuse had been devastating to Selina.

It even resulted in multiple personalities.

Her behavior was wildly erratic, and she never knew fear.

That’s how she earned the nickname “Little Witch.”

But Xue An’s intervention with the soul-binding had miraculously eradicated those violent personalities.

Selina now felt as if she had been reborn.

Her once fragmented soul had also come back together.

“All thanks to you, my lord!” Selina said reverently.

Xue An smiled lightly, “All right, it’s time to go inside! Your former master must be waiting for your return!”

At the mention of this, Selina’s body shuddered, and her eyes filled with boundless murderous intent.

The one who had abused her for a century and enslaved her was her great-grandfather, the prestigious Prince of the Blood Clan Parliament, Wilson!

Initially, Selina’s soul had been firmly under his control, and she had worshipped this cruel abuser like a god.

Now that her soul had healed, she naturally loathed Wilson to the bone!

“My lord, I want to tear Wilson into a thousand pieces! I will join you in the slaughter at Blood Mountain!” Selina said with hatred.

Xue An laughed heartily and strode into the Gates of Blood.
