Charlie, covered in blood, fell straight from the top of the Heaven and Earth Tower. Just before he hit the ground, his life-bound bat wings finally spread, barely flapping once. This sudden pause halted Charlie's plummeting body for a moment, reducing the momentum of his fall.
This brief pause saved Charlie's life. His body hit the ground heavily, with about 70-80% of his bones broken, and his internal organs suffered severe shock, with his heart developing several fine, hidden injuries. If not for that momentary pause, his heart would have shattered like tofu, and even with his powerful life force as a duke, he would have died on the spot.
The strong life energy in the blood demon's life essence quickly regenerated. As a powerful duke, although he only reached the duke level in the Lawless Era, Charlie, as the eldest legitimate son of the Brianburg family and the future heir of this ancient family, was not much weaker than an ordinary millennium duke.
In just a few breaths, Charlie consumed a negligible amount of blood energy from his life essence, and all his injuries rapidly healed. He stood up, panting, and tore off his tattered clothes, which had been ruined by Yindie's attack. He exposed his upper body and shouted fiercely at the Heaven and Earth Tower.
"Dear Phoenix Dance, my Empress, my love for you will never change!"
"From the moment I first saw you, I fell in love with you uncontrollably! You are my sky, you are my earth, you are the only meaning of my life! No one, no matter what, can separate us! Even if you are now only my nominal wife, I will use my true heart and sincere feelings to make you truly become my lover!"
The many blood demon nobles near the Heaven and Earth Tower were stirred, and several powerful princes approached Charlie with ill intent. They were not princes of the Brianburg family but came from other ancient and powerful blood demon families, all part of the Thirteen Ancient Clans. They had no respect for Charlie, a mere duke, and hearing his 'blasphemous' words, they wanted to tear him to pieces!
Since the Lawless Era, Yindie, the first Blood Emperor to emerge from that terrifying forbidden zone, was a symbol in the hearts of the conservative, rigid, and traditional blood demon nobles, a hope for the rise of the blood demon race! The Brianburg family was indeed noble, but what right did one of their legitimate sons have to shout at Yindie?
Didn't they see that so many princes had already submitted to Yindie's throne? Was it Charlie's turn to fawn?
Several old princes with blackened claws approached Charlie, their life-bound bat wings quietly spreading, their hands enveloped in thick blood light. If Yindie gave the slightest indication, they would tear Charlie to pieces without hesitation!
At the top of the Heaven and Earth Tower, Yindie stood at the edge, looking down at Charlie from a thousand meters below.
She turned her head with a cold smile and said, "This guy's words are so disgusting! I want to drain his blood!"
Yindie frowned and lightly slapped Yindie's head, "My child, my dear treasure! In the past, no one restrained you, and you could act as you pleased! But now that your beautiful, kind, benevolent, and gentle mother has returned, you can't act recklessly anymore!"
She firmly grabbed Yindie's ear, making Yindie stand awkwardly on tiptoe, and then kissed her cheek, smiling, "Don't eat random things outside anymore! You don't know what kind of junk those prey have. What if you drink Charlie's blood and get diarrhea?"
Yindie rolled her eyes at her mother's tough words. No matter how insignificant Charlie was, he was still the eldest legitimate son of the Brianburg family, almost like a crown prince of an ancient kingdom. With the strength of a duke, his essence would certainly benefit Yindie. How could drinking his blood cause diarrhea?
But this was Yindie's concern and love for her child! Yindie could feel that Yindie was genuinely afraid that she would contract some random illness from drinking Charlie's blood!
So Yindie could only roll her eyes and say nothing else.
Satisfied with Yindie's obedient silence, Yindie said happily, "That's a good girl. From now on, the fresh blood you drink daily must be personally inspected by your mother! Only the blood of young, beautiful virgin girls is worthy of entering your mouth. As for those lowly, dirty blood slaves, you'd better not even look at them!"
After lecturing Yindie, Yindie pulled her by the ear to the edge of the tower.
She looked down coldly, her red lips curling, and her clear, resonant voice echoed throughout the Yindie clan city.
"Alright, Charlie Vanke Brianburg, our deal is over! I will fulfill my promise and make you the head of the Brianburg family. As for our nominal marriage, I hereby declare it terminated!"
"I must say this in front of everyone: I am not a shallow, petty girl! All these years, you've been sending me roses, jewels, and all sorts of antiques, but I have no interest in those things! You haven't won my favor; instead, you've made me feel disgusted."
"If you hadn't been so deliberately fawning all these years, perhaps I would have kept up this nominal marriage for a few more years?"
"But you were foolish enough to try to harm my only son, and that's trouble for yourself! I won't tolerate anyone, in any way, trying to harm my son! I warn you, this is the only time! If it happens again, I will destroy the entire Brianburg family! Over the years, this damned family has caused me too much trouble!"
At the base of the Heaven and Earth Tower, several princes from the Brianburg family exchanged glances, unable to speak for a moment.
Their eyes glowed with blood, and they wanted to grab the millennium dukes who had been in charge of the Brianburg family while they were sleeping and torture them to confess what they had done! The only Blood Emperor of the blood demon race, what had those fools done to offend her to this extent?
Charlie's face turned deathly pale. He looked up at the two small figures at the top of the Heaven and Earth Tower, his body convulsing, and then he fell to the ground, weak and powerless. He muttered in a low, incomprehensible curse, "Those fools, why can't they even do such a small thing? Where have they gone?"
A Brianburg family prince silently approached Charlie and roughly grabbed him by the neck, lifting him up.
"Damn it, Charlie Vanke Brianburg, you must explain to us old guys what's going on between you and our Blood Emperor! You and your foolish elders, those we authorized to manage the family while we slept, what did they do?"
A prince with an extremely sinister aura, blackened skin like a zombie, and countless tiny scales on his skin, looking a hundred times older and more ancient than the other princes, slowly approached.
He leaned in front of the Brianburg family prince and spoke in a ghostly, weak voice.
"Blauren Vanke Brianburg, according to our ancient traditions, and to fulfill the ancient prophecy, during the chaotic transition period at the end of the Lawless Era, a powerful being will appear to lead us to glory."
"Your Brianburg family must resolve your internal conflicts and show the proper respect and obedience to our Empress! If you fail, I, Victor Vedlov Ambrose, and my old friends, will not hesitate to execute the ancient blood penalty and completely annihilate your family!"
His thin, cold fingers lightly traced Blauren's cheek, causing Blauren's body to tremble violently. Victor was satisfied with his intimidation and said gently, "As we know, the Thirteen Ancient Clans are not sacred and unchangeable! There are always families that are eliminated by the times, right?"
The Brianburg family princes bowed deeply to Victor and then roughly dragged Charlie away from the Heaven and Earth Tower. They needed to find out what Charlie had done and said on the tower and why he had angered Yindie. They also needed to gather the old dukes who had been managing the family's affairs over the years to see if they had done anything out of line!
The threat from the Ambrose family, like the threat from the Stuttgart family, could not be ignored!
The Stuttgart family, at least, still had some sense of reason, being one of the few noble families among the blood demons that retained some 'justice' and 'credibility'; but the Ambrose family? May the heavens send countless thunderbolts to destroy this evil, terrifying, and always destructive and plague-ridden aberration!
No one wanted to provoke this family, the Ambrose family, which, like the Stuttgart family, was one of the two ancient, unchanging families among the Thirteen Ancient Clans, with the most traditional, ancient, and pure bloodline of the blood demons.
At the top of the Heaven and Earth Tower, Yindie and Yindie watched and listened to everything happening below.
