Suddenly, she heard a gust of wind overhead, and the sound of the wind rapidly descended from high to low, startling her so much that she unconsciously looked up...

With a thud, she saw a huge lump fall in front of her.

Anna stared blankly at the huge, fat man lying there sprawled out for a long time.

First, she was certain that this person was a vampire, and definitely not a low-level vampire; second, she had lived among vampires for decades and knew almost all the vampire nobles, but she had never seen this person before; third, Chu Nian had said that he would let her and Dracula switch places.

Based on her analysis, she suspected that the fat uncle, a high-ranking vampire, might actually be Dracula.

Anna looked at the ugly, fat man with mixed feelings, and gave a cold, desolate laugh.

Dracula was reeling from the fall and wondering why his usually invincible blood energy had suddenly gone offline when he heard those two cold laughs. He looked up and saw Anna standing beside him, now with her youthful beauty restored.

Anna was as youthful and beautiful as ever, which momentarily amazed him, but he quickly remembered what he looked like now; moreover, Anna had previously become a fat old woman, but now she had recovered, and he had become a fat uncle instead, so there couldn't possibly be no connection between them.

Although he didn't know about the teleportation magic, he could easily figure out that Anna's youth was likely exchanged for his.

He struggled to get up—he used to be slender and handsome, but now he had suddenly become this obese body, which was really difficult to use.

He pointed at Anna's nose and shouted angrily, "It's you! It's you who made me look like this!"

Anna said coldly, "Your Excellency, may I ask who you are? This is Mount Alsino, the sacred ground of the vampires. Have you obtained permission from my vampire king, Dracula, to come here?"

Dracula was taken aback. Anna seemed not to recognize him at all!

But then he thought about it again. His appearance was so different from before that it was normal for Anna not to recognize him. At this moment, he actually felt a little fortunate: in this way, he, King Dracula, was still an incomparably handsome king in other people's eyes.

Then Anna coldly rebuked, "You shameless and ugly villain, I am Anna Gibrena, the vampire princess. Why don't you answer my question immediately? Do you think you can just wander into any place in our vampire clan?"

As she spoke, she raised her hand and conjured a whip of blood energy, lashing it towards Dracula's face.

"Anna Gibrenna, you've gone too far!" Dracula roared, dodging Anna's Blood Whip.

But he dodged the first lash, and Anna lashed out with the second. Back and forth like this, Dracula was no longer just dodging, but began to fight back.

In the heat of battle, Dracula suddenly felt his abundant blood energy disconnect once again. His once lightning-fast movements were now as if he had been frozen in place, unable to move an inch.

With a sharp crack, Anna's Blood Whip struck him squarely, the burning pain causing him to click his tongue in pain.

Anna was secretly pleased to see this; it seemed that Dracula wasn't as adept at using blood energy as he had become due to old age. She raised her blood whip again...

As dawn approached, Anna hoisted Dracula, whose body was covered in whip marks, onto her shoulder and returned to the royal court.

Lan Jia was a little surprised to see her return. This girl had actually regained her former beauty and youth; and she was also carrying such an ugly, fat uncle on her back.

Anna: "Langa, I have encountered a villain who has trespassed on my clan's sacred ground. Where is King Dracula? I want to offer this villain to the king, hoping that he can forgive my previous recklessness and distrust."

Only then did Lan Jia learn the origin of this fat uncle, and said, "The king said he had to leave for a few days, and the clan affairs were temporarily handed over to Duke Albert."

Anna was a little disappointed and said, "Then I'll just wait for the king to return before apologizing to him. Can I keep this ugly fellow locked up in the basement of the royal court for now?"

Lan Jia thought that Anna had regained her beauty and that Dracula would surely dote on the little princess again when he returned, so he quickly said, "Of course, Your Highness, how about I help you lock him up in the basement!" As he spoke, he reached out to take the fat man from her.

Anna quickly sidestepped Lan Jia and said, "No, no, no, I must go myself. Only in this way can the King know my sincerity."

Seeing this, Lan Jia said, "Alright, then, shall I lead the way for you?"

Anna: "Okay, okay."

Dracula was thrown into the basement by Anna. Because he was considered a villain who had trespassed on the Holy Land, Anna had several guards sent by Langa to keep him under guard. Anna herself would come two or three times a day, each time whipping him as severely as possible, branding him with hot irons, or nailing his hands and feet with silver nails.

Dracula endured several days of torment before gradually realizing that Anna at least knew his vampire identity; otherwise, why would she have thought of nailing him with silver?

As time went on, he discovered that Anna actually knew he was Dracula, but simply didn't want to reveal it. And because his blood energy would intermittently disconnect, he would have no chance of winning a fight with Anna.

But it's impossible for Anna to kill him. He's just broken his bloodline, not completely devoid of blood energy.

Two weeks later, Dracula was nailed to the cross, and due to anemia, his body gradually weakened, finally showing some of his former kingly appearance. Unfortunately, no one but Anna would ever enter this basement.

Dracula hated Anna intensely; he never imagined this woman could be so cruel to him. He had once doted on her, bestowing upon her such high honors and immortality, yet she tormented him in every way.

For the past two weeks, Dracula had been trying to escape. However, Anna knew his true identity and was worried that if he escaped from the basement and rallied the vampires again to attack her like he had attacked Nian's manor, she might not be able to stop him.

Therefore, Anna was extremely cautious about Dracula, surrounding the basement with several layers of blood energy barriers.

In addition, Dracula's blood energy was constantly disconnecting, making it impossible for him to break through all the blood energy barriers in one go. However, as soon as the barriers showed any unusual activity, Anna would realize that he was trying to escape and would immediately rush over, followed by a brutal beating of Dracula.

As time went on, Dracula lost even the courage to escape. He felt that living like this, old and weak, suffering constantly, was worse than death. But he couldn't die, and he couldn't escape this kind of life...

One early morning, he suddenly realized how similar his current situation was to that of Stuart Greta in the past!
