Chapter 364

The vampire lord was not angered by her offense. Instead, he gently held her fair and delicate hand and frowned slightly when he saw that her soft palm had turned red.

His fingertips gently glided across her palm, a cool sensation spreading through her, accompanied by a tingling feeling in her heart, and the pain in her hand disappeared.

Wen Xin blushed even more, but then she suddenly realized that there was a gentle force in her heart, slowly spreading through her blood and flowing to her limbs and bones.

The aftereffects left by Wen Yu's black magic were gradually dissolved by that power.

Since her blood transfusion, Wen Xin has not only lost her magic and spirit, but her body has also become much weaker. She is sleepy, easily fatigued, and generally sickly.

Besides the damage caused by the black magic, it was also due to her weakness caused by not having fully integrated with Wen Yu's blood.

But it's not a big deal. Give her time, and she'll be able to resolve the issue.

But now...

Okay, she doesn't need to spend time researching anymore; he's taken care of it for her in one go.

"Odis!"

At this moment, Wen Xin had no idea that he had been harassing her. Her almond-shaped eyes sparkled as she looked at him, her voice sweet and joyful, "I'm not feeling bad anymore."

The vampire grand duke stroked her eyebrows and eyes. "Hmm."

He seemed to remember something, "You just now..."

Wen Xin's pretty face changed slightly, and she immediately denied it: "No, I didn't call you a hooligan!"

Grand Duke of the Vampires: "..."

Xiao Jin: "..." Master, isn't this just like trying to hide something obvious?

It's even worse than that... something else.

However, the silly butterfly is destined to be no match for its owner!

Even when Wen Xin hit him, the vampire duke didn't hold it against her at all, let alone just scolding him.

The vampire lord stroked her soft, black hair, then bent down and placed her back on the sofa.

Wen Xin tugged at his sleeve and shook it. "Odis, you're not allowed to touch my...heart like that anymore."

The vampire duke looked down at her, as if puzzled, why not?

He was just treating her injuries.

Wen Xin suddenly wondered if she was being dramatic.

But when he came to his senses, he could have brought up things like treating her injuries first. If he had done that, it would have been normal for her to misunderstand.

Wen Xin bit her red lips lightly, "Then, then if you want to do that in the future, you have to tell me in advance."

Grand Duke of the Vampires: "Alright."

Seeing how readily he agreed, Wen Xin looked at him with a bit of confusion, wondering if she had been tricked.

But his cool and calm expression made her think that she was overthinking things.

Well, Odis has always been a cold and indifferent, calm and undisturbed deity. How could she possibly have such scheming thoughts?

Wen Xin muttered under her breath, "We're not even a couple yet. What you're doing is harassing people in the human world."

Couple?

The vampire duke's deep eyes flickered, as if he were deep in thought.

Wen Xin isn't a stingy person, well, she's only not stingy with him.

Besides, he was still caring for and helping her, so how could she hold a grudge against him for such a small thing?

She put the previous flirtation behind her and started studying black magic and witch's wands again.

When Wen Xin felt a little hungry, she closed the forbidden book of black magic and guessed that it must be noon.

When she was still a saint, she possessed profound magic, and the light elements in the air could sustain the energy her body needed.

Moreover, the saintess does not eat grains, and her body must be absolutely pure and immaculate.

Therefore, Wen Xin either fasts or drinks magic potions.

But ever since she lost her powers, her body has become no different from that of an ordinary person. She needs to eat three meals a day and get enough sleep, otherwise she will become weak and in pain, endangering her life.

However, if Wen Xin had to choose now, she would definitely choose a life where she could eat and sleep.

Thinking back to the days when the fragments of her soul had to endure hardship to cultivate, Wen Xin couldn't help but shudder. It was terrifying.

Just as she was about to remind Odis that it was noon and she should have her meal, and also, could she ask the vampires outside to send over a clock? Not knowing the time was a bit scary.

However, before she could speak, the bedroom door slowly opened again.

The same few subordinate vampires were kneeling on the ground, carrying their lunch, their heads bowed in silence. No one dared to make a sound or look up to peek into the bedroom.

Wen Xin noticed that there were several mahogany boxes placed next to the vampires.

The vampire lord still didn't say a word to the vampires. He raised his hand, sent the lunch and the box into the bedroom, and then slammed the door shut again.

The vampires, locked at the door again: "..."

Couldn't the Duke grant them even a glance or a word?

Waaaaah, does the Grand Duke know how much they miss him... cough cough, do they want to know if the Grand Duke really took a human as a blood servant?

Although the human food, clothing and supplies already proved everything, they still didn't want to give up.

How could their noble and wise Grand Duke possibly want an evil witch as a blood servant?

They don't believe it, and they don't accept it... Well, even if their opinions are useless, they can still show their attitude, right?

Vampire A looked at Vampire B: Why don't you be a loyal subject and kneel here to try and remonstrate with the Grand Duke to the death?

Vampire B: ...

Try it and you'll die!

Why don't you go by yourself?

What kind of fake brotherhood is this?

Vampire A straightened his back: I am the eldest brother, the Grand Duke's chief steward, and I must continue to serve the Grand Duke.

Vampire B: Once you're dead, it'll be my turn to be the boss!

So you can die in peace.

Vampire A: ...

Hey, so you've been plotting to take my place all along.

Vampire B rolled his eyes, transformed into a black bat, and flew away, completely ignoring Vampire A, his brother who had caused him so much trouble.

Vampires C and D also turned and left, lest they be forced by their unscrupulous older brother to become cannon fodder.

In the blink of an eye, only the bald vampire in armor remained at the entrance of the palace. His brothers were all cowardly and unwilling to serve the Duke wholeheartedly, which greatly disappointed him.

Vampire A looked worriedly at the bedchamber. He hesitated for less than a second between remonstrating to the death and going back to think of other solutions, and then chose plan B.

He wasn't afraid of death, nor was he disloyal; he simply needed to live well so that he could better serve the Grand Duke in the future.

Um!

...
