Do you all know the future?

Chapter 36: Ritual
Isabella stopped as she was about to turn around and saw that the maid had also left the room. Only she and Diane were left in the room.

"What gift is inconvenient to give at a banquet?"

Isabella looked at the ordinary porcelain bottle in front of her. It was not very big, about the size of a fist, and had a lid on it.

"Teacher Isabella, you'll know once you open it."

Diane handed the porcelain bottle to Isabella. As soon as Isabella took it in her hand, she could feel the heavy weight of the porcelain bottle. After shaking it slightly, she could tell that it contained liquid.

"Let me see!"

Isabella picked it up and gently opened the cork, and a rich aroma that was particularly rich to her filled her nostrils.

Through the mouth of the bottle, a flash of gold caught Isabella's eyes, and she recognized what it was, holy blood, Diane's blood.

“Why did you send this?”

Isabella picked up the porcelain bottle, put it to her nose, sniffed the liquid, and her body felt an urge to eat.

"Last time, I saw that Teacher Isabella liked it, and I heard Luo Lan say that Teacher Isabella was a vampire. I don't have anything else precious to give her, so I'll just consider it as a token of my care for me..."

"I do not want!"

Diane was interrupted by Isabella before she could finish her words. She put the cork in the bottle and looked down at Diane, which was very oppressive.

"I can't have it!"

"Don't use this kind of thing as a gift in the future, or I'll be angry!"

Isabella's face darkened, and she thrust the vial of holy blood back into Diane's hand.

"Why? Didn't you like Teacher Isabella very much the last time you saw her?"

Diane watched Isabella's actions, saw her pull out the cork and put it to her lips, and thought she wanted to taste it, but she didn't expect that this set of movements was so smooth and she directly refused.

"Because I treat you as my disciple, not a blood bag!"

Isabella stared at Diane seriously, and a chill was transmitted to Diane. Her cold and elegant expression gave people a feeling that she was not to be desecrated. Diane felt like she was being frozen.

"In the eyes of us vampires, blood is the symbol of the source of life. Drinking your blood is robbing you of your life source. Do you understand?"

"I pity you because you are Queen Greta's son. You used your blood to please me. What has become of our relationship?"

Isabella stretched out her jade-white hand and placed it on Diane's shoulder with a questioning tone.

"What elder would want their child to please others with spiritual blood? Aren't you afraid that I will keep you captive and turn you into a blood bag?"

"Idiot, don't do this! Even if you don't give me anything, I won't change my attitude towards you. Do you think I approach you because of your holy blood? I treat you as my child. How could I want to see you hurt and bleeding!"

Isabella's scolding became more and more severe, which was completely beyond Diane's imagination. She was at a loss, but also moved.

Isabella really treated him as her junior. Although her tone was harsh, Diane could feel her deep concern.

"Sorry, I……"

Diane was the one who took over the job and didn't know what to say. The angry Isabella looked very scary, and he could sense Roland's mood.

"You're not being sorry for me, you're being sorry for yourself. You should have your pride. Your holy blood is a top-level spiritual substance. Don't give it away so casually."

Isabella held Diane's hand and slowly lifted it up, touching Diane's cheek. Diane felt a little warm, not as cold as before.

"I'm not giving it casually. I'm giving it to my teacher with great respect and determination."

Diane was deeply moved that Isabella of the vampire clan could show such an attitude. At this moment, he felt an urge to confess everything about the Holy Blood Cultists to Isabella.

"That's why I can't accept you. I'm your teacher. I can't treat you the same way I treat a blood slave. Your status is different. I pity you."

After hearing Diane's firm words, Isabella's anger gradually subsided, and she seemed to feel Diane's respect.

"Don't use the Holy Blood to taint the relationship between us. The Holy Blood only proves that you are the son of Queen Greta. It's not because of the Holy Blood that I treat you with special care. Do you understand?"

Pinching Diane's stiff face, Isabella said with disgust, how could she not love the holy blood? If Diane was not the son of Queen Greta and now she treated him as her own son and disciple, she would have sucked Diane dry.

"I understand. Thank you for your attention, teacher. I completely understand your care for me. However, since it's already been done, please accept it. It would be a hot potato in my hands."

At this moment, Diane really felt a sense of respect and love for Isabella, and she was quite conflicted inside. Isabella was so good to him, but he wanted to do such a beastly thing.

"You kid! Are you still threatening me?"

The jade hand climbed up along Diane's face, reached the top of Diane's head, and ruffled Diane's hair.

"No, do you think I'll be questioned if I accidentally reveal that I have this thing? This is a top-level spiritual substance."

Diane hurriedly explained, feeling very sorry in her heart, and she seemed a little nervous and terrified, and Isabella's heart softened.

Diane gave her the best things she could give, and Isabella felt that she was valued by Diane.

"..."

"Do you understand how troublesome this thing is now? Give it to me, and I won't do it again. If you really want to repay your teacher, then study hard, become a demigod, and teach those fools who harmed Queen Greta a lesson."

Isabella was silent for a long time, but still took the porcelain bottle. She thought, "The man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. If Diane was found holding such a bottle of holy blood, there would always be a connection."

"I will, teacher. Drink the holy blood quickly. Even if you are found to have the holy blood, it seems difficult to explain!"

Diane agreed. He had originally intended to take revenge, but now he lacked the strength. He suppressed his guilt and asked Isabella to drink his blood now.

"Don't worry, it's not easy for the teacher to be discovered. If they are discovered, they can say it's Queen Greta's blood. Anyway, it's highly likely that other people have never seen Queen Greta's blood."

The fragrance lingered in her mind. Her mind was resisting, but her body was longing for it. However, Isabella was not a person who succumbed to instinct. She was actually very resistant to this bottle of holy blood, but Isabella was not a conservative person.

"Well, it won't be fresh if it's kept for too long, so it would be a waste. I've been injured and bled, so it would be a shame if the teacher didn't use it. I think the teacher still likes drinking blood."

When Diane heard what Isabella said, she didn't say much. She just gave a reminder, fearing that Isabella would become suspicious.

"How could a vampire not like drinking blood? Especially this kind of top-grade spiritual blood? It's quite attractive to us vampires. I wonder how much resources this bottle of blood can be exchanged for in the vampire community." "Let's taste it after the birthday party. This kind of precious thing can't be swallowed whole. We need a good time. After the party tonight, I'll savor it slowly."

Isabella didn't want to swallow Diane's flesh and blood hungrily in front of her. That would be too embarrassing.

She was still thinking about how Diane had seen through her last time and how she liked Diane's blood. She couldn't understand it.

"There won't be a next time. I wanted to please the teacher, but I ended up causing trouble for him. I'm sorry."

It was despicable to use such means, and Diane's hardened heart felt a little uncomfortable. His apology was sincere, but he just wanted to be a bad guy.

"Men can't be lickspittle when pursuing women. Luo Lan is a troublesome kid. He follows Jasmine around all day. You too, if you like the teacher, don't use this self-harming method that hurts yourself. The teacher prefers to see you succeed and be healthy."

Isabella ruffled Diane's short hair and warned her earnestly that it's okay to chase women, but it's not okay to have no bottom line. Only those who love themselves will be loved by others.

Never be self-touched. Your efforts may not always bring rewards. Some women will just think that you deserve it and that you are being shameless.

"I understand. Only if I practice hard will my teacher like me, and then I can return to Istaya and avenge Queen Greta!"

Of course Diane understood this, so she felt uncomfortable at this moment. Isabella was really good to him, but unfortunately he was not Greta's son, he was Greta's man.

"That's just to motivate you. When you go back, maybe all your enemies will be dead. Just look at the news today. The demons have started a killing spree, and the church has lost several angels."

Isabella spoke with a gloating tone, and her mood became obviously happy. She was happy to see the church and people of Istaya crying and missing the time when Queen Greta was alive.

"This news? I haven't read it, but it's really gratifying!"

Diane relaxed, and the mention of Greta made him feel a little more resolute, and his guilt was slightly reduced.

"It's truly gratifying. Many people are repenting in the Spirit Realm, especially those nobles who said they opposed Queen Greta in the beginning. They never expected her to be so important. However, the demons won't listen to their confessions."

Isabella put on a smile. This was the fate of not recognizing the true God. She had to bear the consequences of her blindness and stupidity.

"That's interesting. I'd like to see it."

Diane could imagine that Queen Greta was not happy with her stability, so she replaced Queen Greta and the devil came to convert her.

Not only do they want your wife and children, they also want your life and soul. The evil creatures don't care whether you are a noble or old, they will kill you as long as you are a human being.

"But not hearing the local citizens' comments is still missing something. The nobles can run away, but the people can't. Queen Greta gave them face, allowing them to express their opinions and giving them some rights, but then they were quickly seduced and instigated by the nobles to start opposing Greta."

"Queen Greta is truly kindhearted. As long as they were testing the waters and didn't make any principled mistakes, she'd have left them alone. I never expected that these people would ultimately lead the nation astray."

Isabella was so angry now that she was gritting her teeth. She thought that the freedom given to her children was too much, and some weird things had emerged.

"I'm afraid these people are in a bad situation now!"

Diane thought about the current situation in Istaya. The large-scale spiritual realm invaded reality and order had collapsed. If it weren't for the demigods resisting, the place would probably have become a country of evil demons.

"Of course it's not good. Without Queen Greta, they are useless and will be kicked out by the nobles. After all, they no longer need to use others to speak out against Queen Greta."

"I've laughed about this before. The so-called congressmen are supposed to be the biggest supporters of Queen Greta because their status comes from her. But they've rebelled against her and ended up losing their jobs. There were even reports recently that they were destitute."

Isabella spoke in a light tone. Sharing this kind of thing with others was not as fun as sharing it with Diane. In a sense, both sides were on the same front.

"It's what you deserve. Oh, you're so stupid. You let yourself be seduced by a beautiful woman with wealth!"

Diane also felt very happy, but she had seen a lot of things in her previous life, so she was not surprised.

"They really deserve it. Now the entire Istaya is being ravaged by cultists, evil creatures, and demons. I believe the end of these people will not be too good!"

Isabella had some malicious suspicions. She hoped that all these people would get their comeuppance and have their souls extracted by the devil and used as fuel.

"I don't care about them anymore. Those demigods deserve to die. But now I still need to improve my strength so that I can have the ability to seek revenge on them."

Especially improving the strength of the maids is urgent. Diane stared at the bottle in Isabella's hand. She was still conflicted, but her eyes were firm.

"That's how the teacher will like you. I've changed my clothes to show you, and I've accepted the gift. It's time for me to go home. Do you have classes this afternoon? If not, go to the banquet with me!"

Isabella patted Diane's head and treated him as a child. Diane's love was also a child's love.

"Yeah, I don't have any classes in the afternoon, so I'll wait for the teacher!"

Diane nodded quickly, and Isabella ignored him and retreated back to the dressing room, preparing to change back into her original simple clothes.

Diane felt a little regretful that she couldn't see Isabella drink the holy blood, but at the same time she felt a little relieved, as if Isabella didn't want Diane to see her drink blood, and Diane didn't want to see Isabella eat this blood of faith.

"Why is this dress stuck? It's so troublesome..."

A complaint did not arouse Diane's imagination. Diane was still struggling and repenting in her heart, but soon Isabella's actions shocked Diane.

"Oh no, it's black magic..."

With a cry of surprise, Isabella pushed open the door. Her clothes were disheveled, her shirt was open, revealing a large area of ​​white hair, and her quilt was trembling. She was no smaller than a maid. Diane looked at her unconsciously.

"We've been caught in someone's spell! Xiao An, hold on to me, there might be an attack."

Isabella reacted quickly, striding over to Diane, putting her arm around his waist and hugging Diane.

Because she was held sideways, Diane didn't face the beauty directly, but the close proximity of her face and the smooth breathing she could experience was another sight.

"..."

Silence, silence for a moment, silence for two moments.

"Teacher, would you please put on your clothes first?"

Diane asked weakly, and Isabella blushed deeply. There was a technique, but no attack.

I was really worried about Diane, otherwise she wouldn't be so disheveled.
