Chapter 41: A Pure Body Revealed

“This younger brother looks so gentle, and this elder brother… probably took all the younger brother’s nutrition.” I found the sight of the two brothers, completely different in stature, amusing.

The burly man let out a deep laugh, raised an eyebrow, and said with a smile, “Then I’ll speak first.” He then walked to the foot of the throne without even glancing at me, turning his back to me.

“Wow, you’ve got guts! If I were really a vampire, I’d just stab you dead with an ice spike!”

“Your Majesty, for many years our kingdom has been peaceful and prosperous. Though we cannot deny Third Sister’s contributions, this stability is built on our strong military. If we indulge the Nocturnal clan and allow them to learn our secrets, our peaceful state might be destroyed in an instant,” the burly man said.

[This burly man is actually the king’s eldest son, Zhou Yi Wenwu. As his name suggests, he is not only exceptionally skilled in martial arts but also well-versed in statecraft.] [The king has three children: besides the eldest son, there is the second son Hongyuan and the third daughter Qiaolu.]

“Tsk, does everyone in this kingdom like to brand others? He immediately says killing me will secure the nation. Screw you!”

But I didn’t feel like arguing. Die early, rest early. Rather than slowly turning into a succubus, I’d rather die.

The king said, “Hmm, so Hongyuan, what do you think of your elder brother’s view?”

“Heh.” The white-robed handsome man beside the king had a pair of eyes that seemed to see through worldly affairs. He chuckled lightly and said, “I think Brother Wenwu is right. Anyway, it’s just a vampire, whatever.”

“Hey, how can you be like this! This is a human life!” I muttered inwardly, pitying his handsome face.

Before I finished, Hongyuan added, “But I’m very curious about what Brother means by the Nocturnal clan?”

“Second Brother?!” Wenwu’s brows furrowed sharply as he glared at Hongyuan.

“Oh, don’t rush, Brother. I’m just wondering if you’re being too arbitrary. What if this is a bomb thrown by the Nocturnal clan? How would you handle that?”

“You mean they want us to kill him to start a war?”

“Mm, yes. I just read a novel with that plot.” Hongyuan looked particularly casual. I couldn’t tell what attitude he had that allowed him to speak so frivolously, especially in front of the king.

And from the king’s attitude toward these two, I guessed they were probably three siblings: two brothers and a sister. And it seemed that Qiaolu was especially strong! A strong little sister! British sailing!

Sigh… So how long would I be ignored? If you can discuss it yourselves, why bring me up?

“Ah, my legs are numb from sitting.” I changed my posture, sitting on the floor in an M shape. The hall’s plush carpet was very warm.

“Haha! What a joke!” Big brother Wenwu’s voice was full of contempt.

Just then, the general suddenly interjected: “Your Majesty, and two Highnesses, may I speak a word?”

The king said, “General, speak freely. No need to hesitate.”

“I don’t think there’s any need to discuss this. The child below is not of the Nocturnal clan, but of the Black Feather clan.”

“Nonsense!” Wenwu pointed at the general. “The Black Feather clan is already a legendary extinct race, and their pupils are orange. Look at this person, his eyes are clearly red. How do you explain that? I think you’re just trying to protect him!”

“Does the Highness forget my sister’s eyes?” The general’s eyes were sorrowful as he spoke.

“Ah…” Wenwu hesitated. “But one must take precautions. What you say is only a possibility. Everyone knows that the Nocturnal clan can change their appearance, but only their eyes cannot hide the red. Are you asking me to let this danger go?”

“Danger? If I tell Your Highness that the boy below has a ‘Magic-Cleansed Body,’ would Your Highness still think he is Nocturnal? Would you still think he is dangerous?”

“Mm? Magic-Cleansed Body? No way.”

“Try it yourself.”

I saw the burly man turn around, a magic circle rising in his palm, and he hurled it at my head.

“Ah–” I dragged out a long cry.

Then… nothing happened!

I saw the burly man’s face full of extreme surprise. Then he turned back and said to the king, “Indeed… this is the phenomenon of someone with a Magic-Cleansed Body.”

“Emmmm, so this ‘no ink juice, scenic area’… what the hell is it?” I was very curious. “And what did you do to me? What phenomenon is it?”

“To think that such a person still exists in this world~” Second son Hongyuan exclaimed from the side, then added, “Ah– so, what exactly is this Magic-Cleansed Body?”

“Hey! So you don’t know either!” I complained. Is this Hongyuan toxic? He pretends to know when he doesn’t!

But at least he asked for me. Sigh– I really didn’t know what to make of Hongyuan.

“Prince Hongyuan, I myself only learned today. The so-called Magic-Cleansed Body is a special constitution. Those with such a constitution absolutely cannot use magic.” After the general’s explanation, I froze. I vaguely remembered that that damned PM2.5 had said something similar before, but I didn’t dare admit it… So it turns out I… didn’t just fail to learn magic, but was incapable of using it.

“Ah! This sucks! What kind of setting is this! Can’t we have fun anymore!”

“I come to a magical world, and then I can’t use magic!”

“I might as well die, just die. Damn it!”

The last shred of hope in my heart vanished.

Hongyuan nodded and said, “Then I think this child can be released. If he can’t use magic, what crime does he have if he’s not Nocturnal?” Although this guy was speaking for me, I felt he was weird. Would a normal person talk so flippantly?

Suddenly, a beautiful female voice came from behind me: “Hey! What are you all doing? Sorry I’m late.” I could tell from the voice that it was a very attractive woman.

Then a ‘female general’ in full armor walked past me. Her flowing red ponytail and strikingly handsome face were the epitome of a queen’s temperament.

But honestly, seeing her made my heart sink a bit, because I couldn’t help but think of those cold, proud queens in anime, all of them so hard to deal with!

She knelt on one knee before the king and said sonorously, “Greetings, Father. Sorry I’m late.” So this was the third sister, Qiaolu… I thought she’d be a cute princess! My god, she’s a complete queen!

And what’s that on her back? Two swords? Man, those swords are so cool!
