Chapter 2360: Chapter 663: Gathering at the Bruch Residence (7)
An Yiqing naturally knew Sicily was observing her, but she did not expose it, her eyes always gazing at the outside scenery. As night slowly fell, the outside was already lit with thousands of lights. An Yiqing suddenly missed Xuandu City, missed her family. She secretly mocked herself inwardly, having just left for two days, she was already homesick.
The car soon drove onto an expensive street in Country Zi. This street was sparsely populated, the Bruch Family had long bought the entire street. The car slowly drove to the end of the street, and a medieval-style castle appeared in front of An Yiqing’s eyes.
This was her first time seeing a real castle in Country Zi, feeling it wasn’t as beautiful as in fairy tales, but rather had a hint of eeriness. She could feel the energy emanating from the castle, a scent unique to the Blood Clan.
The car approached the castle gate, which opened automatically, and the car slowly drove inside. An Yiqing looked out the window, seeing the medieval Country Zi-style floral gardens and yard, with a round pool where the fountain continually sprayed out glittering clear spring water.
Everything seemed vibrant, yet hiding a breath of death.
"Miss An, please follow me."
After getting off the car, Sicily respectfully made a bow, leading An Yiqing into the castle. The castle was vast, and its grandeur disclosed an ancient charm of times past. Sicily passed through the entrance, walked across the hall, and directly took An Yiqing upstairs. An Yiqing wasn’t puzzled as to why Sicily didn’t put her in the living room; she followed him with a smile up to the second floor, then went into a room. Next, she watched Sicily open a secret door and followed him into a dark staircase, heading underground.
The staircase was long and narrow, just wide enough for two people to walk side by side. Soft carpet covered the ground, golden wall lamps were embedded on the walls on both sides of the staircase. The dim light faintly enveloped the entire staircase, and as they descended further, the brightness increased and the staircase became much more spacious.
Stepping on the dark red carpet, An Yiqing finally ended the long stairway journey with Butler Sicily, entering the hall of the underground castle. Even though An Yiqing had seen many gold and jewels, she was amazed by the construction of this underground palace.
On the palace hall walls hung many portrait paintings. Sicily introduced them as the Bruch Family’s successive princes, some of whom were revered gods of war. In the center of the wall was a blurred portrait. In the portrait, the man’s features were unclear, but the aura of royalty he exuded was suffocating.
Cain Decula, Ancestor of the Blood Clan.
Taking her gaze away from the portrait, An Yiqing looked up towards the palace roof. Engraved on the round ceiling were outlines of Hell Satan and various demons, while also connected to numerous Luminous Pearls of varying sizes. These Luminous Pearls arranged in a circle incessantly emitted bright and soft light.
Moving her gaze from the roof, An Yiqing looked down towards the ground. The Bruch Family, indeed Country Zi’s aristocrats for centuries, their wealth and resources left people in awe. The vast underground palace even had its floor entirely covered in dark red Warm Jade, grand and fitting the Blood Clan style.
Secretly admiring in her heart, An Yiqing followed Sicily to the main door of the underground palace. Sicily turned and smiled at her, then gently pushed open the simple and heavy door.
"Miss An, welcome to the Bruch Family!"
The Old Prince Bruch, in a dark red tailcoat, stood in the doorway with a smile. Behind him, Eddie and Bali, and two other handsome men whom An Yiqing didn’t recognize, stood side by side, their faces wearing enthusiastic smiles.
An Yiqing didn’t expect such a grand ceremony for merely a meal; the Old Prince Bruch actually staged such a scene. Looking at their diamond-embellished evening wear, then at her own plain white long dress, she curled her lips.
"Beautiful Xiao Qing Beauty, welcome to your arrival." The Old Prince Bruch smiled and walked out, holding An Yiqing’s small hand intending a kiss ceremony.
Unexpectedly, as his lips were about to land, a fair large hand reached over beside, blocking him.
"Uncle, aren’t you afraid of General Gu?" Bali said coolly.
The Old Prince Bruch’s smile froze, his eye muscles twitched hard, and he reluctantly let go of An Yiqing’s hand. He feared that if he truly kissed An Yiqing, that God of Slaughter might carry a missile to blow up his underground palace!
