My beautiful CEO wife-Chapter 1581: The Prohibition

The girl in red seemed to sense Xiao Zheng’s thoughts, glanced at him casually, and said, "I killed this man because he violated my prohibition."

Xiao Zheng felt a bit lost, but was quickly drawn in by two words in the girl’s speech, and asked in confusion, "Prohibition?"

The girl in red looked at the Blood Clan corpse on the ground and said flatly, "After I took on the role of the Blood Clan Netherworld King, I established a rule: No Blood Clan members are allowed to hold blood feasts and kill humans to obtain fresh blood..."

"This person, because the place he resided was relatively far from the Blood Clan’s central region, acted a bit recklessly. Even with the prohibition, he continued to hold blood feasts without restraint, so I naturally had to kill him."

Xiao Zheng was taken aback and felt a faint liking for the girl in red. The biggest conflict between the Blood Clan and the Human Clan was this blood feast, a natural and insoluble conflict between predator and prey. The girl in red issuing this prohibition clearly signaled peace to the Human Clan.

However, Xiao Zheng quickly thought of the previous war between the East and West. If this Blood Clan Netherworld King truly was showing goodwill to the Human Clan, why would such a horrifying war break out? Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but frown, "What you’re doing... seems a bit contradictory."

From this prohibition by the girl in red, she seems to be a pacifist; even banning blood feasts, how could she possibly have started such a terrifying war?

If this issue isn’t resolved, even if he feels a bit of fondness for the girl in red, there is no possibility of peaceful coexistence between them; they are destined to be mortal enemies!

The girl in red, hearing this, clasped her hands behind her back, her gaze becoming distant, as she looked far away. After a moment, she said, "Follow me," and then walked deep into the Blood Clan castle.

Xiao Zheng was momentarily hesitant. If this was a trap, entering it would be dangerous! Perhaps, the previous killing of Mars by the girl in red was to dispel his vigilance and prepare for this moment. Being Huaxia’s Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, if he were to be killed, Huaxia would have no resistance against the Western forces! If such a conspiracy succeeds, the consequences would be terrifying.

However, Xiao Zheng quickly shook his head, laughing at himself internally, thinking, "Xiao Zheng, since when have you become so cautious and timid? This girl in red is the Blood Clan Netherworld King, her strength already at the world’s pinnacle; if she wanted to kill you, why would a trap be necessary? Few who reach such heights rely on cunning plans."

"Moreover, this girl in red, though you’ve only met a few times, her generous and heroic nature surpasses most men. If you cower here, hesitating, it makes you seem petty! If I’m going, I’m going! Hmph, I, Xiao Zheng, as the grand Evil God, have nothing to fear, even if facing the Netherworld King!" Thinking this, Xiao Zheng’s gaze firmed, and he followed the girl in red deeper into the castle.

Before long, the girl in red led downward, winding through the castle, and arrived at an underground wine cellar. This wine cellar housed all kinds of fine wine, some in barrels and others in bottles. It wasn’t just Western wines; there were even Eastern ones.

Xiao Zheng was taken aback, wondering why the girl in red brought him to a wine cellar. Was it to drink with him?

Sure enough, the girl in red stood before the wine rack, glanced around, and then casually lifted a wine barrel, knocking it open. The fragrance of the wine filled the entire cellar, and Xiao Zheng’s eyes lit up, thinking to himself, good wine!

The girl in red, having opened the barrel, lightly tossed it to Xiao Zheng. Though it was quite a large barrel, Xiao Zheng easily caught it, then heard the girl in red say, "Drink."

Looking up, Xiao Zheng saw the girl in red pick up another barrel, raising it toward him as a distant gesture.

Xiao Zheng was momentarily speechless—it really was just to drink wine here. Remembering his earlier doubts about the girl in red, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but blush slightly. But being a person not stuck on trivial matters, he laughed heartily and said, "Alright."

The two clinked barrels and then drank.

The girl in red drank boldly. She slightly tilted her head back, opening her mouth, and with her slender, graceful hand holding the wine barrel high, let the crystalline wine flow into her mouth, drinking a large gulp before placing the barrel on the ground with a thud, wiping her mouth and praising, "Good wine."

Xiao Zheng also laughed heartily, took a big gulp, then looked at the girl in red and suddenly said, "What did you bring me here to talk about?" His eyes carried a deep and reflective gaze.

He naturally knew the girl in red brought him here not just to drink.

The girl in red leaned against the wall, casually sat down, and said, "About me, you must have many uncertainties now, right?"

Xiao Zheng nodded, "Yes, I am very puzzled. It seems you don’t want to start a war with the Human Clan. Your attitude towards them is friendly. But why, before this, did you start such a terrifying war?"

As he said this, Xiao Zheng’s expression turned serious, and his gaze became piercing. If the girl in red did not answer this question satisfactorily, they might immediately engage in a life and death battle!

Even though he admired this girl in red greatly, considering her a confidant, in the face of deep racial enmity, all that meant nothing.

The girl in red fell into silence.

Xiao Zheng, however, stared intently at the girl in red.

But, in the next moment, Xiao Zheng was stunned by the girl in red’s answer.

"I am a hybrid of the Blood Clan and the Human Clan," the girl in red said.

"This..."

Even Xiao Zheng was shocked.

The Netherworld King was actually a hybrid of the Blood Clan and the Human Clan!

This was shocking news. The Blood Clan was a group that highly valued pure lineage. Their numbers were limited, and they were inherently strong, often viewing humans as mere food, holding deep disdain for them.

Hybrids could indeed exist, but for a hybrid to become Netherworld King in the Blood Clan, the difficulty was as great as reaching the heavens. Just considering the opposition alone could thoroughly drown a person.

"You must have endured a lot of hardships."

Xiao Zheng was silent for a moment, then said.

It’s easy to imagine that for this girl in red to become the Netherworld King despite being a hybrid, the experiences she went through must have been incredibly arduous, facing countless intense struggles. Imagining all of that, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sympathy as he looked at the girl in red.
