In the dark cellar, the only source of light was the candlestick in Ye Zhou's hand. In order not to attract attention, he did not even light three candles at the same time. Only one candle had a flickering flame.

That little light couldn't illuminate the cellar, but it was enough for Ye Zhou to confirm the identity of the person inside as he walked towards him.

His feet felt like they were stepping on clouds, unable to touch the ground. His brain was dizzy and he didn't even know what his expression was at that moment.

For a moment, he even felt that this town, along with the people in it, should be destroyed.

Ye Zhou bent down carefully and picked up Sarah's internal organs scattered on the ground. Those had already rotted and had been away from her body for too long. Even if they were put back, they could not be "saved" by her body.

Even though he had killed people and witnessed wars and blood and flesh flying everywhere, Ye Zhou still felt uncomfortable with this scene.

Maybe it was because the person lying on the ground was not a stranger, but a friend who had been by his side and protected him when he was young.

Ye Zhou knelt beside Sarah, holding the internal organs covered with dirt and dust.

He didn't know whether Sarah could see him or hear him now, but he still comforted her softly: "It will be fine soon, soon, you will be able to..."

Ye Zhou realized that his voice was trembling, so he closed his mouth and stopped talking.

What Sarah needs now is a strong protector, not a "burden" who is about to cry.

So Ye Zhou imitated Zou Ming and eliminated all expressions on his face, like a robot with a human appearance.

He stuffed the relatively intact internal organs into Sarah's opened abdominal cavity. He knew that with the vampire's recovery ability, they could survive even if only the heart was left.

Ye Zhou reached out and closed the skin on Sarah's abdomen. Before he did so, he looked up at Sarah's face.

The messy hair covered most of her face, and from Ye Zhou's angle he could only see the lower half of Sarah's face.

The skin on Sarah's abdomen slowly healed, but the healing was slow.

Ye Zhou took out a small knife, cut his palm, and put his hand close to Sarah's mouth.

Sarah didn't have the strength to suck, so Ye Zhou could only use his other hand to pry open Sarah's mouth, letting the blood flow down and fall into Sarah's mouth.

As the blood fell into Sarah's mouth, the "wound" on her abdomen finally healed faster.

Ye Zhou watched the last bit of the gap close and then removed his hand. He searched around and tore off a piece of cloth from the hem of his shirt and simply wrapped it around himself.

Because he was worried that the wound would not heal properly and blood would not flow out, or too little blood would flow out, Ye Zhou made a deep cut when he cut.

No medicine was sprayed, and the cloth strips were wrapped several times and you could still see the blood color.

But Ye Zhou didn't take it seriously. He began to fight with the chains that locked Sarah.

Fortunately, he still had some potion left, so he poured a little on each chain. After the chains were corroded, he immediately picked up Sarah.

He seemed to be holding a handful of bones.

Light and almost weightless.

Ye Zhou patted Sarah's back gently, his voice was very soft, as if he was not holding a person in his arms, but a fragile object that would fall apart if he took a breath: "Don't be afraid, we will be out soon, you are safe."

He said and headed for the exit.

There is no sound outside now and they have not been discovered yet.

If he had been discovered, he would have jumped down to the cellar by now.

Because the steps were corroded, Ye Zhou could only push Sarah up first.

Fortunately, Sarah had recovered some strength. Although she didn't say anything, she understood that Ye Zhou was here to save her. She used the strength she had finally recovered from Ye Zhou's blood to grab the edge of the entrance and climbed up with Ye Zhou's push.

After watching Sarah go up, Ye Zhou moved a table from the side and climbed up on the table.

Ye Zhou finally stepped out of the cellar filled with the smell of blood. The moment he climbed onto the ground, he couldn't help but take a deep breath. Compared to the air in the cellar, the air on the ground even smelled fragrant to him.

He stood his ground and looked down at Sarah, who was looking up at him.

The messy hair covered most of Sarah's face, but Ye Zhou could already see Sarah's eyes through the gaps in her hair.

A pair of crimson eyes like bloodstone.

Ye Zhou smiled with relief, he stretched out his arms and picked up Sarah again.

He touched the back of Sarah's head and whispered, "Let's go, I'll take you home."

Sarah did not struggle, but she did not give Ye Zhou any response. She could only put her chin on Ye Zhou's shoulder and look at the castle behind Ye Zhou.

The castle was brightly lit, and voices and footsteps could be heard from inside, as well as the sound of cups being smashed.

Sarah craned her neck to look toward the highest point of the castle.

There lived the most powerful person in the town, her mother, the person who gave her this body of flesh and blood.

Sarah lowered her head slightly, and her long hair covered her eyes again.

Ye Zhou ran out according to the route he and Zou Ming had agreed on in the afternoon.

Before entering the town, Ye Zhou and Zou Ming had taken a panoramic photo of the town from a high vantage point, and they had planned several ways out of the alleys.

Ye Zhou chose the longest and safest route.

The houses along this route are very old and not many people live in them.

Before the Duchess came, this town probably wasn't as prosperous as it is now. It can be seen from these houses that have not been maintained for many years that the Vampire Duke brought prosperity to this town, but this prosperity was built on countless corpses.

Layer upon layer of blood and bones built up this paradise that looks like a "paradise on earth".

The entire town was mobilized and all the residents came out of their houses. The guards were short-handed and could not check every house, so they could only let the townspeople monitor and investigate each other.

The crowd was in chaos, which actually provided the best cover for Ye Zhou.

He held Sarah tightly and ran to the city wall following the faint light of fire coming from where the crowd gathered.

This is the place where he and Zou Ming had agreed to meet.

Sure enough, Ye Zhou saw the rope hanging on the city wall. He tied the rope around Sarah's waist first, then pulled the rope, signaling those outside the wall to pull it.

There was movement over there soon. Ye Zhou knew Zou Ming's strength, and Sarah was pulled over in an instant.

Ye Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, glad that Sarah did not struggle or scream throughout the whole process.

The rope was quickly released again. Ye Zhou grabbed the rope with one hand, used the force to climb up the city wall in two steps, and then jumped down.

As soon as he stood firm, Zou Ming put his arm around his shoulders and whispered in his ear, "Let's go."

Ye Zhou looked up and saw Cao'er holding Sarah. He cheered up and nodded to Zou Ming: "Let's go back."

They didn't continue talking, but walked towards the supermarket.

After walking a distance, Ye Zhou asked, "Did you encounter any danger?"

Before Zou Ming could say anything, Cao'er poked her head out from the side. She said with a lingering fear on her face, "Boss, you don't know, they even let the dogs chase us! Luckily I ran fast!"

There was a sense of pride in her fear: "I may not be good at other things, but I am definitely good at running away."

When she was fleeing, she seemed to be running away all the time, running away from the bandits and the soldiers.

After running for a long time, I gained experience and knew how to breathe and swing my arms without being taught.

Now that I’ve gotten better, I can run like a champion.

Ye Zhou was actually relieved when he saw Zou Ming and Cao Er. He then asked: "The guards chasing you, are they humans?"

Zou Ming shook his head: "Only the leader is a vampire, the others are humans."

They will continue to absorb humans into the town, but will not develop the tribe.

The reason is simple: the more species that need to eat, the less food there is.

Now the town can still maintain a precarious balance, but once the number of new townspeople decreases and they can no longer deceive people, the vampires will attack those townspeople who "helped" them.

After walking for a while, Ye Zhou said to Cao'er, "Leave her to me. You are tired too."

Cao'er hugged Sarah tightly. She glanced at Zou Ming, then shook her head at Ye Zhou: "Fairy, Sarah is my sister, this is what I should do. She protects me so much and is willing to teach me, how can I feel tired even hugging her?"

After saying that, she looked down at Sarah in her arms. Sarah had fallen asleep.

Logically speaking, night is the time when vampires are most energetic.

Only a seriously injured vampire like Sarah would feel tired and fall asleep.

Ye Zhou did not force it: "Let's go, let's go back quickly, eat something, take a shower, and rest early."

They were also tired after two days. They hadn't eaten much or rested much during these two days. They were tense before rescuing Sarah, but they relaxed after rescuing Sarah and finally felt tired.

Halfway through the walk, Ye Zhou couldn't help but ask Zou Ming: "Is there anything else to eat?"

Zou Ming opened the bag and found two bottles of water and a bag of biscuits inside.

Ye Zhou tore open the package of the biscuits, took a piece and stuffed it into Zou Ming's mouth without asking. Zou Ming's eyes widened slightly, and he was about to push it away, but Ye Zhou stuffed another piece into his mouth while he opened it. Now Zou Ming had to shut his mouth and chew.

He also gave one piece to Cao'er. It was a compressed biscuit and there were only three pieces in a bag, so one piece was just right for each person.

However, he did not feed Cao'er. After all, they were of the opposite sex and in a superior-subordinate relationship, so this behavior was not good.

Cao'er didn't refuse. She wanted whatever Ye Zhou gave her, and she wouldn't ask for it if Ye Zhou didn't give it to her.

Fortunately, the town was not far from the supermarket, and they entered the woods not long after walking.

Following the direction I remembered, I finally found the supermarket.

At this time, the employees in the supermarket are taking a break. They all live in the staff dormitory next to the supermarket.

Ye Zhou also took out the key and prepared to let Cao'er take Sarah to her room to take a bath first.

Sarah slept with Cao'er for one night, and he went to squeeze in with Zou Ming.

After all, it was so late, there was no need to wake up everyone else.

"I'll go to the supermarket to get some food." Ye Zhou handed the room key to Zou Ming, "What do you want to eat?"

Zou Ming: "I'm fine with anything. You can take anything."

Ye Zhou asked Cao'er again. Cao'er was also hungry. The black bread in the town was hard for her to swallow. She swallowed and said, "I, I want a bucket of instant noodles. Can you bring me some sausage?"

Ye Zhou: "Okay, what kind of intestines do you want?"

Cao'er: "Corn sausage!"

Ye Zhou also liked to eat corn sausage. He nodded, asked Zou Ming and Cao'er to go up first, and opened the door of the supermarket himself.

After entering the supermarket and turning on the lights at the entrance, Ye Zhou smelled the odor in the supermarket and even felt as if he was in another world.

I had only been away from town for less than three days, but it felt like I had been away for three months.

Finally I'm back.

·

It was very warm, Sarah thought in a trance. She felt like she was being embraced by someone, or like she was lying in a soft cloud.

Soft and warm.

Is she dreaming?

Sarah was reluctant to open her eyes, for she was afraid that once she did, the warm illusion would immediately disappear from her.

People say that hallucinations occur before death. Is she dying soon?

No, she is a vampire, and she will not die unless someone makes a weapon out of silver and pierces her heart.

It would be better to be dead.

Sarah closed her eyes and thought that if she died she would be free and no one would bully or abuse her anymore.

At this moment, there was a noise next to her, as if someone got up from the soft bed, and moved her who was lying on the side.

Sarah's body immediately stiffened, her nails grew longer, and her canine teeth protruded.

She felt the figure move around the bed, so she quietly opened her eyes.

It was a woman, but not the woman she was familiar with. This woman did not have pale skin, blood-red pupils, or slender limbs. She was not a vampire, nor was she any human being she had ever seen.

She watched the woman draw aside the curtains, letting in the sunlight.

Sarah's eyes widened. This window was not sealed! Such a big gap!

Why is there no wind coming in?

She half covered her head with the quilt and looked at the woman through the gap. The woman was standing in front of the window, stretching, and then turned around.

Sarah closed her eyes immediately.

"Wake up." Cao'er knew that Sarah had no memory of their time together, so she didn't call Sarah sister directly. Instead, she reached out and pushed Sarah, "The immortal knows that you need to replenish your nutrition and physical strength, so he prepared pig blood and chicken blood for you. There are also ostrich blood and cow blood. Take a look and see which one you like."

Although Cao'er knew that Sarah was a blood sucker, she was not sure about Sarah's taste. After all, Sarah liked to eat blood stew - the taste of blood stew was almost the same no matter what kind of blood was used, so it was really hard to tell what her preference was.

Sarah hid under the quilt, her whole body was cold, and her instinct told her that the woman in front of her was a threat to her.

Seeing that Sarah didn't move, Cao'er thought she was sick from being bored, so she reached out to lift the quilt. Just as she lifted the quilt, Sarah suddenly jumped up from the bed and rushed towards Cao'er's eyes with her sharp nails.

Cao'er was startled, but fortunately, although her brain didn't react, her body did.

She raised one arm to cover her eyes, and the moment she felt the pain, she immediately grabbed the back of Sarah's collar with her other hand, quickly turned Sarah over, pressed her knees against Sarah's lower back, and twisted Sarah's hands behind her back.

After doing all this, Cao'er let out a breath of fear.

If her body had not reacted in time just now, she would have been blind now.

Even though the other person was Sarah, Cao'er was a little angry, but she also knew that it was not Sarah's fault. She sighed: "You have been rescued. You can stay here in the future. No one will beat you or scold you. Everyone here will treat you as a family member and a friend."

"I know you don't believe it now." Cao'er thought for a moment, "You will believe it when you see the immortal!"

She said confidently: "The immortal knows everything and can do everything. He will protect you!"

Sarah buried her head in the quilt and did not struggle because she knew she had no chance of winning.

She is very weak now, her internal organs have not yet fully grown, she needs to eat and replenish her energy, and what she just did was her last effort after exhausting all her strength.

She lost the strength to struggle.

"I'm letting you go now, don't hit me." Cao'er "threatened", "If you attack me again, I'll spank you!"

Sarah: “…”

"Give me some reaction." Cao'er, "Just nod if you agree."

Sarah nodded, and Cao'er released her hands and knees from around her.

Sarah turned over, facing the sky, and looked at the strange and gorgeous chandelier above her head and asked, "Where is this? Who are you? Why did you save me?"

She finally remembered how she was rescued last night.

She remembered how the man walked towards her, the warm light from the candle in his hand, and the blood he cut his palm and fed into her mouth.

What I remember most is the other person's warm and strong embrace.

Sarah's voice was hoarse and unpleasant. It was not the voice of a little girl, but the voice of an adult woman who had suffered a lot.

But Cao'er had heard Sarah's voice before and didn't think there was anything unusual. Instead, she said happily: "This is a supermarket, we are... your friends, and this will be your home from now on."

Cao'er didn't know yet that Sarah would leave later.

She sincerely believed that Sarah would stay.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Zou Ming's voice came from outside: "It's time to go eat."

Cao'er: "Come right over! I'll find her some clothes!"

Fortunately, when Ye Zhou came back with the food, he remembered that Sarah had to change her clothes after taking a shower. Her original clothes were already in tatters, and to say that they were tattered was a compliment. They were just a few strips of cloth.

He picked up a dress for little girls in the supermarket, but it wasn't as fancy as Sarah's own dress, and it wasn't Lolita style either. It was just a simple white dress with cartoon animal sketches on the chest.

Sarah changed her clothes with the help of Cao'er, and only then did she realize that she seemed to have been taken care of.

Her originally dark arms were washed clean, becoming as pale as a normal vampire. She raised her hand and touched her hair, which was no longer greasy, but clean and refreshing, and much shorter.

Cao'er said guiltily, "The hair down there is really hard to comb. Although there are no lice, I still cut it for you, but I didn't shave it. This hairstyle is also very good. The immortal said it's called a bob, and it's very popular."

She didn't say where it was popular.

But Sarah didn't say anything. She just asked, "Did you connect my arms and legs?"

Cao Er shook her head. "How can I have that ability? I can only make people more injured. Only doctors can fix your bones, but you recover very quickly. If it were an ordinary person, they would have to amputate. There is no way to save you."

Sarah: "That...the man who saved me...what's his name?"

Cao'er immediately said, "You can't call the immortal by his name. Just follow my example and call him immortal."

Cao Er didn't forget to say to her: "It's ok that you attacked me just now, but you can't do this to an immortal! Otherwise, you will be struck by lightning!"

Sarah didn't quite understand what Cao'er meant, but she could see the seriousness on Cao'er's face, so she pursed her lips and nodded.

Cao'er felt relieved. She smiled and said, "The immortal is like a father."

Sarah was stunned.

Father?

There was only her mother in her world, and as for her father, she only knew that he was a cowardly man. Although he was a noble among the human race, he left and ran away from her after discovering that her mother was a vampire, even though she was already born at that time.

He didn't even look at her.

These were all told to her by her mother, but she knew her mother was not lying, and she did not bother to tell such a lie.

To her mother, she was a disgrace to vampires, and perhaps to her father, she was a disgrace to the human race.

She seemed to be both races and neither.

No one recognized her, and no one would accept her. They would just drive her away like a fly, wishing she had never appeared.

Sarah said quietly, "I don't have a father."

Cao'er: "...I mean, the immortal is like a father, and sometimes he is like a mother too!"

Sarah looked at Cao'er and thought she was crazy.

Cao Er smiled and said, "The immortal is like a father who spurs us to grow, and like a mother who loves us. You will know it soon!"

Sarah had one hand passively held by Cao'er.

Cao'er put a pair of children's slippers under her feet: "After dinner, let's go to the supermarket to choose shoes and two more sets of clothes. You need to change and wash them."

"The immortal told me that I will take care of you and take care of you during this period of time." Cao'er put on Sarah's shoes, stood up and pulled Sarah out, "If you need anything, tell me."

"I'll say it again." Cao'er stopped and said seriously, "You can't attack me."

"If anything happens to me, you will be in trouble too, and you will definitely regret it later!"

Sarah nodded. She knew she was weak at the moment and there was no need to conflict with the other party. What's more, what the woman said seemed to be true. After all, she had nothing. Both humans and vampires wanted to kill her. These people saved her and it was impossible for them to get any benefit from her.

Sarah was holding Cao'er's hand and walking slowly on the carpet.

This is the first time she wears shoes.

Her previous clothes were ones she had stolen from servants.

But she couldn't steal shoes that fit her feet, and if she stole a pair at random, they would be too big and fall off when she was chased.

Is this a slipper?

Sarah looked at the shoes that barely covered her feet.

This shoe is weird.

But after only a few steps, Sarah realized the benefits of this pair of shoes. Its soles were very soft and her feet felt very comfortable walking on them without feeling any pain.

Cao'er opened the door.

Sarah raised her head subconsciously.

She looked up at the man waiting at the door.

This was the first time she saw the other person's face clearly.

The other person was tall and thin, but that didn't matter.

It's the eyes that matter.

Those gentle eyes seemed to contain a smile, like orbiting stars.

Sarah stood there in a daze, and her fingers moved.

For some reason, she suddenly felt a huge fear.

She must be very ugly like this, right?

The other person saved her, but what could she give him in return?
