The real heiress is a fortune teller; her divinations are worth a fortune, and the whole internet is

"Run!" Huo Dongjun shouted, "Let's escape!"

"We can't escape," Chang Xi sensed the abnormality of the castle when the woman appeared. It was isolated. "This castle is cursed; you can only enter, not leave."

"What should we do then?"

"Find the owner of the castle and kill him," Chang Xi said casually.

"Where to look?" Huo Dongjun had no clue.

"Do you remember the fourth floor that the housekeeper wouldn't let us go to?" Chang Xi put away the evil-repelling weapon, bypassed Mary's corpse, and went upstairs first.

There was only one room on the fourth floor, and Chang Xi kicked the door open.

A portrait hangs in the center of this huge and luxurious bedroom.

"The people in this painting look so familiar!" Lu Wenli said.

[This is a painting from my home!]

Andrei sent comments in the live stream chat.

"The paintings from the Charles family," Chang Xi said casually.

"Yes! It's the woman in Charles's painting!" Lu Wenli exclaimed, slapping his forehead.

Gu Qingfeng asked疑惑地, "But the man next to this woman is different from the man in Charles's painting! Is there any connection between these two men and this woman?"

"Could he be Correa's sworn brother?" Yan Feishuang thought of the story Anna had told them.

A malevolent aura burst forth from the painting, startling Yan Feishuang into taking a half-step back. Chang Xi reacted swiftly, grabbing her arm and pulling her behind him, thus avoiding the malevolent aura.

"Don't touch that painting."

A cold female voice rang out.

All four of them turned around at the same time.

The woman in the painting has come to life!

[We've seen a live monster!]

"The painting has come to life?" Gu Qingfeng's understanding of the past twenty-odd years was shattered, and he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

"That painting is cursed by a wizard; anyone who gets close to it will suffer the consequences." The woman's tone was deathly calm and indifferent as she walked downstairs on her own.

Chang Xi followed first, walking behind her and asking, "Are you the owner of the castle?"

"no."

"The owner of the castle is that butler, right?"

The woman was drawn in by Chang Xi's words. Her emerald-like eyes glanced back at her, then turned away and asked, "Why do you think that?"

"It's very simple," Chang Xi said calmly. "The servants in the castle are all afraid of him. I didn't find his bedroom below the third floor, which means he lives on the fourth floor. But there is only one bedroom on the fourth floor, which is the master's bedroom."

You've just denied being the owner of your castle, so the only possibility left is that the butler is the owner. Is the butler your husband?

The woman walked into the living room and sat on the sofa.

"You're clever, yet not so clever," the woman said. "Shouldn't you be thinking about how to get out of here first?"

"Do you have a way?" Lu Wenli thought she wanted to send them out.

The woman chuckled softly and said, "If I had a way to get out, would you be asking me here?"

"You were captured," Chang Xi guessed.

The woman looked at Chang Xi again, her indifferent eyes devoid of any emotion.

"You'll most likely become my food tonight."

"That's something for tonight, we'll talk about it tonight." Chang Xi didn't find anything scary about the woman's words. He took out his phone and showed a photo. "This boy's name is Charlie, remember him? He's seen you before."

"I remember," the woman said casually as she poured herself a cup of coffee, "He broke in here and I found him."

"So you gave him the Embrace?" Changxi asked, puzzled. "Vampires generally treat humans as food. The fact that you didn't drain Charlie's blood means you didn't want to harm him, so why did you give him the Embrace?"

"Isn't immortality good?" the woman retorted.

"Whether it's good or bad, it's up to Charlie to decide," Chang Xi said, putting away his phone. "If you turn him into a vampire, what will happen to his family? They won't be happy to see their child turn into a bloodthirsty monster."

"Yes, it should be up to them to decide," the woman murmured to herself. "But who in this world can truly decide their own destiny?"

"I just want to confirm one thing: was it you or the butler who performed the embrace on Charlie?"

"I," the woman said, holding her coffee cup, "He only wanted to kill Charlie, but I stopped him. I told him I liked the child and wanted him to stay with me."

"How could you two be so inhumane!" Lu Wenli roared in fury. "Just because you like children, you think you can take a child away from other parents?"

Charlie's mother held her child tightly in her arms at the manor, as if afraid he would be taken away.

[Such shameless child abduction tactics!]

What a despicable couple!

[Pah! No wonder they don't have children!]

Upon hearing Lu Wenli's words, the woman in the castle threw her coffee cup in his direction.

Chang Xi pulled Lu Wenli aside, and the cup fell to the ground and shattered.

"Did I say something wrong? You didn't steal someone else's child!" Lu Wenli looked at the woman's fangs, which she revealed in anger, and felt a chill run down his spine, but he still braced himself and asked back.

"Shut up," Chang Xi glared at him speechlessly, and he dared not speak again.

The woman stood up, her emotions running high; her usually calm eyes were now filled with anger and ferocity.

"If you say another word that we're husband and wife, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Shen Kongming didn't quite understand what was causing her anger. Shouldn't she be angry because of the phrase "inhuman"? Why was she angry because of the word "husband and wife"?

Chang Xi shielded Lu Wenli behind him, facing the woman's anger head-on.

The woman's eyes gradually lost their clarity, and the way she looked at them slowly transformed into the gaze of someone eyeing prey.

"Correa Dolkin!"

Shen Kongming called out a name loudly.

The woman seemed to have been struck by lightning, and instantly came to her senses.

Who is Shen Kongming calling?

[Is it the name of a female vampire?]

But how did he know Correa's full name?

Oh, mother hen!

"Who are you calling?" the woman asked, looking at them.

Seeing her reaction, Chang Xi confirmed his suspicions and said, "We're calling you, Correa Dolkin. The reason you're so angry is because the butler isn't your husband at all; he's imprisoning you here."

"You," the woman smiled, gracefully sitting back down, "are truly clever. There's nothing much to do right now, would you mind listening to a story?"

"I'm all ears," Chang Xi said, lifting his sleeves and sitting on the sofa.

Seeing this, Lu Wenli and the others sat down next to Chang Xi.

Are we going to tell a story? I'm so excited!

[I wonder what troubles Koreya is facing?]

"This story is rather long," Correa said, sitting in the shadows, gazing at the sunlight streaming in through the window, her thoughts drifting back to the past.

In the 15th century, religion was prevalent, and the pope was the most powerful person at the time.

Correa was the illegitimate daughter of the Pope and his mistress. At that time, society was dark and corrupt, and such cases of mistresses having illegitimate children were commonplace.
