Chapter 398

Xie Miao looked at the bloodstains on the ground, pulled Du Yasha's head out from under the chair, lifted it up, and spoke in an ambiguous tone:

"I warned you not to get cocky and not to court death, why didn't you listen?"

"See? He's become so reckless that all he has left is a head."

Xie Miao stared at the unseeing eyes of Du Yasha for a few seconds, then suddenly tucked her head under his arm and darted towards Lina's bedroom.

Then, Lina, who had been drinking heavily during the day and woke up naturally in the middle of the night, found herself facing her mother's head hanging above her bed!

"ah!!!"

A piercing scream echoed from the Wan Ying Palace.

Soon, news of Du Yasha's death spread throughout the entire vampire clan. Before any major disturbance could occur, Xie Miao swiftly seized control of the Elder Council.

He directly replaced Duyasha and became the acting manager of the vampire clan.

Gradually, everyone learned that Xie Miao was backed by the Grand Duke's witch, a powerful figure whose influence caused the vampires to have heart attacks. This little pervert was also cunning, ruthless, and even more dangerous than his mother.

Originally, few vampires dared to point fingers at the Grand Duke, and now even fewer do.

And so Du Yasha became the stepping stone for that lady to intimidate the vampires.

As expected of the former Holy Maiden of Light, the legendary reincarnation of the Archangel of Light, her methods are truly terrifying.

Wen Xin, who knew nothing about it: "???"

At that moment, she was vacationing with Odis at a hot spring resort.

The vampires' territories are all in the north, at high latitudes, where snow already falls in November.

This hot spring resort is the territory of a vampire count, but it used to be a wilderness because vampires prefer cold to heat, and only humans would like to soak in hot springs.

Last month, some vampires came here and built wooden houses, and even developed a hot spring pool.

Vampires are just lazy, but when they get serious, their efficiency is terrifying, like riding a rocket.

The night was hazy, and beautiful lanterns hung above the hot spring pool. The warm candlelight and the rising mist created an ambiguous and dreamlike atmosphere.

Wen Xin soaked in the hot spring pool, her hands resting on the edge of the pool, her head resting on her arms, her watery eyes staring intently at the handsome man sipping wine on the winding corridor.

That perfect profile, the Adam's apple bobbing as he drinks...

The vampire duke put down his wine cup and turned to look at him. The warm yellow candlelight dispelled the usual cold indifference between his brows and eyes, and his gaze fell upon those dark eyes, swaying with tenderness.

"What's wrong?"

His deep, melodious voice was like a seductive succubus in the dead of night. Wen Xin clutched her rapidly beating heart, and, stepping on the water like a little fairy emerging from the water, walked towards him with a graceful and lithe figure.

The vampire duke sat motionless, yet a faint, dark fire flickered in his eyes.

The little fairy nestled weakly into his arms, her wet body pressed against his, her slender white fingers hooking the sash of his robe. Her eyes were alluring, her delicate red lips pouting as she softly complained, "Odis, why don't you ever come with me to the hot springs?"

The vampire lord's Adam's apple bobbed. "Want me to come along?"

Wen Xin: "Hmm."

She tapped his heart. "The vampires all say I'm a seductive concubine who bewitched you, but the beauty just played in the water for so long, and you, the king, didn't seem to be blinded by lust!"

Instead, she was the one who got hooked up with him.

The real culprit has always been Odysseus, hasn't he?

Even the former Holy Maiden of Light was seduced by him and had her faith changed!

How could the vampire lord resist such temptation from a young girl?

He leaned down, but Wen Xin raised her hand to cover his thin lips, "I won't let you kiss me."

The vampire duke's deep gaze locked onto her, and he gently placed a kiss on her palm. "My little darling."

Wen Xin's fingertips trembled, and her body felt a tingling sensation.

She pulled her hand back as if she'd been electrocuted. "You...you fouled again."

The vampire lord chuckled softly, his aloof and handsome face as clear and bright as melting snow under the moonlight, easily captivating anyone's soul.

Wen Xin clutched her pounding heart, her eyes filled with tenderness, "If any vampire calls me a demon concubine again, I'll beat him up."

The vampire duke nodded without any principle, "Alright, I'll help you."

Wen Xin: "..."

No way!

How does he manage to be so alluring in such a cool and aloof way?

Despite being captivated by his beauty, Wen Xin struggled to maintain her last shred of rationality and changed the subject, "Odis, the vampires have been acting strangely lately. Did you do something?"

In the past, when those vampires saw her, they would at most maintain politeness and superficial respect because Odis was present, and that was all.

But recently, those vampires have been practically beaming with joy in front of her, their respect tinged with obsequiousness, and their obsequiousness tinged with a hint of fear.

This is clearly not right.

Wen Xin didn't think that the vampires would change their opinion of her just because her identity as the original Holy Maiden of Light was exposed.

It could only be something her own repressed, old-fashioned boyfriend did.

The vampire lord calmly picked her up and carried her into the hot spring. His handsome, composed face seemed to say: Didn't you want me to bathe with you? Go ahead and soak!

Wen Xin: "..."

“Odis, don’t try to get away with this again.”

The vampire lord looked down at her, then suddenly lowered his head and kissed her.

And then... that was it.

Wen Xin's rationality had long since vanished, and she was hopelessly infatuated with the gentle embrace of her reserved and abstinent patriarch.

Yes, alas, Odis is getting more and more adept at diverting her attention.

Sooner or later, she'll be completely fooled by him.

Xiao Jin muttered to himself: "You talk as if you can find your way north right now."

Sigh, another day of silently preparing a basket for digging wild vegetables for the master and the male supporting character!

...

The vampire grand duke accompanied Wen Xin on her travels. After passing through the vampire territory, they went to the human territory, and then traveled to the werewolf territory.

Since the three races signed a truce treaty a thousand years ago, the werewolves have cut off their territory from contact with humans and vampires, living in seclusion and keeping a very low profile.

But the vampire lord thought that the werewolves couldn't possibly stop them.

However, not long after they entered the werewolf territory, a clueless werewolf tried to kidnap her to be his wife, and then he almost got braised by the vampire duke—the kind of thing where you bleed him out, pluck his fur, and braise him into wolf meat.

Wen Xin quickly pulled him away from the werewolf's territory.

Anyway, it's all dense jungle over there, and the werewolves are still living a primitive lifestyle. There's nothing interesting or fun to see there, so let's go home!

Otherwise, Wen Xin was really worried that the werewolf race would disappear from the Pro Continent in the future.

This is truly a terrible tragedy.
