The three-time consecutive Best Actress winner, terminally ill, returns to the underworld. To her surprise, the underworld forces her to enter a collection of books to resolve the grievances of num...
At the same time, she felt a sharp pain in her forehead and chest, as if something was stabbing her there. She sensed flames all around her and realized she was lying on a platform above a fire.
The fire must have just started and hadn't yet reached the platform.
Chu Nian could still vaguely hear people talking in hushed tones. They were two men speaking in Y language, which was probably the original owner's mother tongue. Because she had also inherited the original owner's memories and abilities, she was able to understand them immediately.
“With a silver dagger nailed to her forehead and a silver cross nailed to her chest, plus the punishment of burning at the stake, I don’t believe she won’t die this time.”
"If they don't die, what are we going to do? We can't even handle such a small matter properly. If the king finds out, he will definitely be furious."
"Don't worry, he's definitely dead this time."
Chu Nian couldn't move her head, but her mental energy detected that the two people talking were dressed in old-fashioned medieval European tailcoats and wearing wigs. They were sitting at a table drinking... the wine in the goblets looked like red wine, but Chu Nian smelled blood and guessed it was blood.
She sensed that the original owner's body felt hungry after smelling blood, and seemed to want to drink blood as well. She realized that this body might belong to a vampire, who called themselves a blood clan.
The two of them didn't notice that Chu Nian had woken up. They probably figured that no matter how strong a vampire was, once two silver weapons pierced his vital organs, he wouldn't be able to wake up.
Chu Nian realized that the fire was growing larger, and if she delayed any longer, her physical body would be burned. She used her mental power to completely block out the two people's five senses.
Chu Nian discovered early on that she could move her hands and feet again, so she reached out to pull out the thing stuck in her forehead. Enduring the excruciating pain, she quickly pulled it out. Looking at the thing in her hand, she realized it was the silver dagger the man had mentioned earlier.
She also quickly pulled the cross off her chest with her other hand.
Her wounds were healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Chu Nian threw the silver dagger and silver cross directly at the two people who were talking and drinking blood at a table not far away, hitting them both in the head.
Their bodies aged rapidly, becoming skin and bones, their heads lolling to the side as they slumped onto the table, losing consciousness.
Even if a powerful vampire is pierced through the chest or head by a silver weapon, they may not die completely. Princes, kings, and so on can recover their bodies once the silver weapon is removed. The difference is the length of time it takes to recover to their normal strength.
These two, whose heads were struck by silver weapons and whose bodies had aged to skin and bones, yet they had only lost consciousness, must both be princes.
Chu Nian flew down from the platform where she was lying and went directly to the two princes. She grabbed them by the collar and threw them back onto the platform where she had been lying.
The fire under the platform was burning brightly and quickly engulfed the platform and the two people lying on it.
Chu Nian suddenly sensed a powerful energy fluctuation, which was very similar to the energy fluctuations on the original owner's body and the two people on the platform who had already been burned.
Moreover, this energy fluctuation seems to have a special suppressive effect on the energy fluctuations within Chu Nian's current body. Although this suppression is very subtle, if the two sides were to engage in battle, it would inevitably put Chu Nian at a disadvantage in every aspect.
A moment later, Chu Nian heard a majestic male voice in her ear: "My dear daughter, you actually killed your two brothers with your own hands. It seems I have been too lenient with you in the past."
As they were speaking, a tall and handsome figure appeared in front of Chu Nian.
The original owner's full name was Stuart Grete. She was originally a noble lady living in the Middle Ages, but shortly after she came of age, her family fell into ruin and she became a commoner. After that, she made a living by teaching etiquette to noble ladies.
She never married and saved up a certain amount of money by working as a tutor. When she was 68 years old and preparing to retire, she met Dracula, the vampire king.
At that time, Dracula was because his wife from four hundred years ago had been reincarnated. However, when he found his wife, she had already fallen in love with someone else. Heartbroken, he ran painfully through the manor in the middle of the night and saw a beautiful woman standing under a tree.
Under the moonlight, he vaguely felt that the woman's back looked exactly like his wife from his previous life, and without thinking, he rushed over and embraced her.
The woman was bitten and had her blood sucked, and was quickly and forcefully embraced by Dracula. Unexpectedly, when she turned her head, Dracula was so angry at her appearance that he almost fainted.
This woman was Nian, who had just retired and returned to her hometown, intending to spend one last night at her master's estate.
Because she was afraid that she would grow old and lose her figure, which would make her employers dislike her and refuse to hire her, she lived a very disciplined and self-controlled life.
This means that although her face cannot resist the ravages of aging, her figure remains slender. She also likes to straighten her back to avoid others seeing her clearly, so from her back, you really can't tell that she has any signs of aging.
But when you turn your head to look at their faces, well, that's a bit of a joke.
Dracula wanted to kill the original owner of the body on the spot, but he found that even with his power as the vampire king, he was unable to kill this daughter who had just been embraced.
After that, Nian became a second-generation vampire with royal blood. Even if Dracula refused to acknowledge her as a princess, she would still be ranked as a prince within the entire vampire clan.
Normally, Dracula, as a father, would have the ability to kill his newly conceived children at any time. However, he couldn't kill the original owner of this body. This is very strange.
Afterwards, although Dracula brought Nymph back to the vampire clan, he was ashamed of her and refused to acknowledge her as his first embrace, saying only that she was a newly discovered prince.
Dracula's beloved wife, Anna Gibrenna, was reincarnated as the newlywed wife of the noble family where Dracula previously worked. Although Dracula knew she had married someone else, he still couldn't help but secretly visit her in the dead of night.
The only woman he truly wanted to embrace was Anna.
Unlike other races, vampires customarily practice intermarriage within their families to strengthen their bloodline. Marriage between vampires and their children, siblings, or relatives is commonplace among vampires. Moreover, many nobles only have one offspring of the opposite sex as their partner throughout their lives.
However, Anna loved her husband deeply and didn't want to be a vampire. She felt that her lover and children would die, and that there was no point in living on, so she refused Dracula's embrace. Dracula couldn't bear to force her, and in his anguish, he wandered around the manor, mistaking Nen, who had her back to him, for Anna.
To be honest, Dracula hated Nen after the Embrace, and he was shocked to find that as a father, he could not only not kill Nen, but also not control Nen as completely as he could control the thoughts of his two sons.
