"Cough, cough, Karena... there's no need for that... I don't need to consume the blood of an artificial vampire like you..."

After eating Alvin, who would want to touch this kind of emergency food?! But this little brother's reaction is just too... embarrassing, isn't it?

Yu Ling felt like a scumbag woman, taking advantage of a certain younger brother's weak will to seduce him, and then taking the opportunity to do this and that to him.

\"etc!\"

Karen suddenly reached out and grabbed Yu Ling, who was about to turn and leave.

"My lord, just this once... please bite me one more time..."

\"Well......\"

Can I say that I came because I was full, thus rejecting him?

Yu Ling silently thought to herself: She was only there to give orders to her underlings, not to bully Karenna, and certainly not to take advantage of him.

"Listen, just do your job, don't try to curry favor with me." I'm not buying it!

As soon as Yu Ling finished speaking, Karenna suddenly leaned over and nuzzled his neck against her. He was really in trouble because of this blood pact. Even this simple closeness was addictive. He was trembling all over as he was attracted by the bloodline aura on Yu Ling's body.

"They really are persistent..."

With the food practically placed before her mouth, even a dessert would be nice, and Yu Ling instinctively opened her mouth to take a bite. Okay, to contradict myself, she really does fall for this.

However, when Yu Ling was tasting her younger brother, her tongue accidentally brushed against his skin, which surprisingly triggered a reaction from Karenna. Seeing that things were going badly, Yu Ling immediately let go after only taking a tiny bite and ran far away.

Karena, who had just received tenderness, was now being neglected. He looked at her with a tearful expression as she walked away, which made Yu Ling feel a tiny bit of guilt.

When in doubt, it's best to avoid trouble first. Otherwise, Yu Ling might really be tempted to do something to her new underling. It would be too unfair to do something after just asking him to do something. So, with a "whoosh," she transformed into a bat and ran away, disappearing without a trace.

It wasn't until long after Yu Ling left that Karenna slowly regained his senses. His expression was as colorful as a palette, and it was hard to describe his feelings at that moment.

Reaching out to touch the bite mark from earlier, Karena felt a little angry, but didn't know what to say. Her face flushed slightly, and she even felt a lingering sense of nostalgia and reminiscence.

"It's a terrifying ability. As soon as she appears, I don't even have the slightest thought of resisting."

Karen didn't realize that when he said that, it was full of self-deprecation, without a trace of resentment, and his blush hadn't even faded.

He tidied himself up to look as he had before Yu Ling's arrival, his clothes impeccable and exuding a noble air. He went out to find the steward and gave him instructions:

"If those two new guests from the Vatican come to the vicinity, please invite them in for a short while and let me know as soon as possible."

When he gave that order, he was starting to lose his composure. Was it the forceful command from the rose-patterned mark, or was he already willing to serve Yu Ling?

...Yu Ling returned to Eric's castle...

Her return might be ill-timed. Eric seems to have attracted another group of blood hunters, perhaps due to the rapid increase in the number of artificial vampires caused by the frequent actions of the Vatican.

Outside the window, the fog was billowing. To avoid the sunlight, they had to use energy to create fog and fill the surroundings. Eric did not notice that Yu Ling was not there. Fearing that the Blood Hunters would break into the castle, he risked engaging in a battle outside the castle.

"You're asking for it!"

Eric was clearly driven to desperation and finally unleashed his deadly move against the human, hoping to force the powerful blood hunter to retreat. However, the human was very skilled and always fought with a life-or-death style. Eric dared not fight head-on and could only keep pulling back.

By the time Yu Ling used her avatar, a small bat, to intervene, both of them were already injured. The small bat avatar mixed its own energy into the avatar, secretly healing Eric.

The battle lasted a long time, and in the end, Blood Hunter had many hideous scars on his chest, which were from when he was scratched by Eric during their fight.

Eric's injuries were much more severe; much of his skin had turned gray, his clothes on his chest were stained blood red, and his clothes were completely tattered.

They stared at each other, their eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Dirty vampire, don't be so smug, we'll fight another day!" Without the ability to heal itself, the blood hunter couldn't fight a prolonged battle. He took a step back and flashed away. Eric didn't chase after him, but he knew that his peaceful life was about to end again. Rubis seemed to have no words in front of a blood hunter of this level.

Under Eric's unauthorized arrangement, Rubis, having received the news, rushed to the castle to take Yuling to the Blood Hunters' territory for some refuge.

"We'll split up and run away. I have a few properties under my name that you can use to hide. These are the keys."

Rubis was also a little melancholy. His friend was good in every way except for his identity; he was even kinder than most humans. Just because he was a vampire, he hadn't had a single good day. He said,

"Don't worry, Eric, I won't let anyone hurt Klein. After all, no one but me can tell she's a vampire."

This is also what's strange about Rubis; he doesn't know that Yu Ling has a necklace made by the main god, and without using the power of a priest, he can't discover Yu Ling's vampire nature.

Eric had no other choice but to watch Rubis leave with Yu Ling. His pale face grew even more gloomy, and a hint of anger inevitably flashed in his usually calm and unwavering eyes.

She was being targeted by these indiscriminate individuals, and could be killed at any moment. If they found out that Rubis had taken a little vampire with him when he left, Yu Ling and the others would be in even greater danger!

"No, I can't run away!" Eric stubbornly insisted, ignoring Rubis's words, and fought alone in the castle.

This second encounter lasted for several days, and the final opponents were the strongest among the Blood Hunters, possessing immense power and bizarre weapons.

Eric held out for a long time, but knew he was no match for these people and that staying would only lead to his death, so he decided to escape.

However, what he didn't expect was that the Blood Hunters, who were usually unwilling to waste time and would often fight another day, would relentlessly pursue him this time.

"You can't escape!" Blood Hunter said.

Eric's body stiffened.

He heard a crisp gunshot behind him, and a bullet made of specially made silver, soaked in the holy water of the Vatican, pierced through his chest.

Immediately afterward, a sharp pain shot through his lower back, and he could no longer move his legs. Blood flowed from his wounds, and he felt a chilling coldness in his back before losing consciousness completely...
