Chapter 9: The Vampire Boss's Gentle Bite - Vanished into Ashes

Any silver item is a weapon of death to vampires, and not everyone possesses the terrifying self-healing ability like Gong Ye.

For a low-level vampire like Gu Shanshan, being stabbed by silver and not having the ability to replenish her blood and heal in time is essentially tantamount to slow suicide.

Eileen resented that Gu Shanshan had captured Gong Ye's heart in such a short time while he was away, and that having him carry out the execution would only cause Gu Shanshan more pain.

The sharpened tip pierced deeply into the area next to the heart as the hammer fell.

"Ah!" Gu Shanshan let out a terrible scream.

This is only the first nail, and he's already in so much pain.

The silverware burned his flesh, stinging every inch of his vampire body.

Wherever there is blood flow, every nerve in my body aches terribly.

With tears streaming down her face, Gu Shanshan couldn't help but think, if he was in so much pain even though the silver nail hadn't pierced his heart, how much pain must Gong Ye have been in when he pierced the silver nail into Gong Ye's heart?

"sorry......"

Gu Shanshan closed her eyes and murmured an apology, tears streaming down her face.

He didn't know why Huiyue, who had kidnapped him, wanted to frame him like this.

Gu Shanshan couldn't imagine what it would be like if ten thousand nails were driven into her body and then left to bake in the scorching sun; she would probably be reduced to ashes.

"Hmph, you actually dared to assassinate the most noble prince, and now you're hypocritically apologizing. It's disgustingly fake. Even if you say it a thousand times, no matter how many times you die, the prince won't even glance at you again."

Eileen watched with satisfaction as thick blood flowed from where the nail had been driven in, then reached out and dipped her fingertip in it.

He put it in his mouth and tasted it, then showed a look of disgust on his face.

His resentful gaze fell on Gu Shanshan, his words filled with hatred.

"Heh, I thought there was something special about your blood, you little bastard, that you could be the first human the Prince embraced. Now that I've tasted it, it's nothing special."

As he spoke, he spat on the ground.

"What a disgusting smell. I really don't know what the prince sees in you."

Eileen had to admit that Gu Shanshan was very beautiful, but there were plenty of beautiful people among the vampires. She racked her brains but still couldn't figure out what Gong Ye liked about Gu Shanshan.

He picked up another silver nail, his sinister gaze fixed on Gu Shanshan with hatred.

She demanded through gritted teeth, "Tell me, you damned little vixen, what did you use to bewitch His Highness the Prince? What made you think you could seduce him?"

Ever since he was first embraced by a nobleman, he has served by the Prince's side and has never seen the Prince show any interest in any vampire or human.

He witnessed firsthand how the Prince didn't drink his blood, a descendant of nobility, but instead drank the blood of Gu Shanshan, a lowly vampire.

This disparity was something Eileen found extremely difficult to accept.

With a backhand motion, a silver nail pierced deeply into Gu Shanshan's heart.

"Um......"

Gu Shanshan let out a muffled groan, then gritted her teeth to stop the cry of pain.

Eileen relished Gu Shanshan's pained expression and spoke with malice.

"This is just the beginning. Don't worry, I won't stab you in any vital spot. I'll make you wish you were dead."

How dare she climb into the prince's bed while he was away? Such an ungrateful little slut deserves to die.

Thinking about it, Eileen grabbed another silver nail and viciously pierced Gu Shanshan's palm.

"ah!"

Blood flowed from his palm. Although Gu Shanshan tried his best to hold back his cries of pain, the silver nails were too powerful for a vampire, and he couldn't help but cry out.

With just three silver nails, Gu Shanshan was in so much pain that she was covered in cold sweat, and her clothes were soaked through as if she had been scooped out of water.

The more pain Gu Shanshan was in and the more disheveled she looked, the happier Eileen became.

He believed he was no less handsome than that vixen Gu Shanshan, and was also a descendant of a vampire noble, having spent the longest time by the Prince's side.

In terms of looks and birth, he is better than that bitch Gu Shanshan in every way.

Even if it's about warming the bed, why doesn't the Prince choose him?

He said gloatingly, "There's a saying among humans: 'The ten fingers are connected to the heart.' I'll prove it by nailing silver nails into all ten of your fingers."

With that, Eileen excitedly picked up ten nails and raised the hammer to drive them in one by one.

Gu Shanshan's limbs were firmly bound to the wooden board, unable to move at all, and she could only watch helplessly as nails were about to be driven into her fingers.

In the instant the hammer came down, he closed his eyes in despair.

But after a while, the expected pain did not come from my finger.

He heard Eileen's voice, tinged with panic, say, "Your Highness, why have you come to such a filthy place? Just order me to do whatever you need."

Eileen was surprised.

Kneeling on the ground, at a loss, she felt even more uneasy after being caught by Gong Ye carrying out the execution.

He never expected that Gong Ye would come to this place full of blood and filth. Could it be that Gu Shanshan, that little bitch, is really that good at seducing people?

They've already broken a taboo, yet they still managed to get the Prince to come in person.

Ignoring Eileen kneeling on the ground, Gong Ye walked straight to Gu Shanshan, who was tied to the wooden board.

Gu Shanshan excitedly opened her eyes and met Gong Ye's cold, blood-red gaze.

He licked his pale lips listlessly and managed to utter, "Master, I..."

He had barely uttered a sound when Gong Ye sternly rebuked him, "Shut up!"

Gong Ye looked down at Gu Shanshan, who was covered in blood, with disdain. "Don't call me that. You're not worthy."

He didn't care about a heartless pet like Shan Shan.

Gong Ye's voice was ruthless and cold, like a hammer striking Gu Shanshan's heart again and again.

It hurts a lot.

She bit her lip tightly, not caring that her crimson lips bled.

He apologized cautiously, "I'm sorry..."

He looked like a stray dog ​​abandoned in the rainy night, pitiful and pathetic.

Seeing Gong Ye standing in front of him, seemingly unharmed, he felt much relieved.

He then explained in a low voice, "I didn't mean to, I don't know what came over me, I didn't really want to assassinate you."

Upon hearing this, Gong Ye became even angrier.

What makes Gu Shanshan, that little rascal, think that saying sorry after assassinating him will soften his heart?

A cold, chilling smile curved her lips. "Heh, Gu Shanshan, what makes you think I'd still believe you?"

Taking advantage of his trust and lack of vigilance, just when he's holding her in his arms, ready to cherish her, she turns around and stabs herself in the heart.

Gu Shanshan should have died a thousand times over for such humiliation and hatred.

What Gong Ye hated even more was that he had listened to and watched coldly as Gu Shanshan suffered torment, and even watched her die.

But he damnably softened his heart.

When he saw the blood on Gu Shanshan's body, his heart, which had not beaten for thousands of years, suddenly felt a pain so intense it was suffocating.

Gu Shanshan understood perfectly well that if it were him in this situation, he wouldn't believe it either.

She said dejectedly, "I really don't know anything. I was kidnapped, and by the time I woke up, it had already happened."

Such words sound weak and unconvincing; even Gu Shanshan herself found them unbelievable.

As expected, Gong Ye only thought it was a sophistry.

"Gu Shanshan, you little liar who's full of lies."

Gong Ye even suspected that Gu Shanshan had deliberately gone to the intersection at night to wait for him to run into her.

She deliberately acted innocent to seduce him, intentionally climbed into his bed, and killed him when he was off guard.

Gu Shanshan might be a spy sent by the human or hunter who wanted him dead.

Gong Ye leaned down, his fingers gripping Gu Shanshan's delicate chin with fierce force.

A chilling killing intent flashed in his eyes. "Now that you see I'm still alive, are you disappointed? Can't you face your master?"

"No, I've never thought of that, really, Gong Ye, you believe me."

Gu Shanshan shook her head in denial, tears streaming down her face as she felt a burning pain from the spot where the silver nail had been driven into her.

It hurt so much that he could no longer maintain his rational thinking and subconsciously called out Gong Ye's name.

Hearing his name called out softly by Gu Shanshan, Gong Ye's heart skipped a beat for no reason.

A strong sense of familiarity surged towards him.

That feeling was just like the countless times Gu Shanshan had called him that before.

Gong Ye's cold eyes held a hint of doubt. "Who exactly are you?"

Why did it feel so familiar to him?

Did they... know each other before?

Even though Gong Ye had a thousand questions in his mind, Gu Shanshan couldn't give him any answers at this moment.

Having just been embraced and transformed into a vampire, Gu Shanshan was already extremely weak.

In addition, he had not consumed blood for a long time, making his body even weaker.

The silver nails that Eileen pierced made Gu Shanshan's already weakened body even worse.

He has managed to hold on until now only because of his guilt towards Gong Ye and his will to live, which is already quite remarkable.

After explaining the truth to Gong Ye, Gu Shanshan could no longer hold on.

"I'm sorry, it really wasn't me..."

With a pale face, Gu Shanshan managed to utter a few words before completely fainting.

The little face beneath his palm was as pale as paper, because it was a vampire and had no breath whatsoever.

He lay there on the wooden board, covered in blood, as if he were completely dead.

Seeing Gu Shanshan like this, Gong Ye felt an indescribable sense of loss.

Amidst the sense of loss, there was a touch of sadness.

How could Gu Shanshan die without his permission?

"Gu Shanshan, wake up! I order you to wake up right now!"

Gong Ye angrily slapped Gu Shanshan's face, but the unconscious person remained completely still.

With trembling hands, Gong Ye pulled out the silver nails from Gu Shanshan's body one by one and threw them on the ground. The silver nails burned Gong Ye's hands, but Gong Ye didn't care at all.

Eileen was stunned by the sudden turn of events and frantically tried to stop it, "Your Highness, you can't..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gong Ye sternly stopped him.

"Shut up! Say one more word and I'll turn you to ashes right now!"

His violent appearance filled the entire room with a terrifying pressure, so frightening that Eileen knelt on the ground, trembling, and dared not utter another word.

Even after all the silver nails were removed, Gu Shanshan remained fast asleep, showing no signs of waking up.

Gong Ye panicked a little, waved his hand to cut the ropes binding Gu Shanshan, picked her up, and kissed her again and again on the place where the silver nails had burned.

Vampire saliva has self-healing abilities.

The vampire prince's self-healing ability is particularly strong.

But this time, for some reason, no matter how much Gong Ye kissed Gu Shanshan's wounds, they continued to bleed uncontrollably, showing no signs of healing.

If saliva applied to a vampire's wound does not heal it, it means the vampire is truly dead.

No longer a vampire, nor a human, just an ordinary corpse.

Gong Ye looked at the still-bleeding wound, his face suddenly turning deathly pale.

If even his saliva couldn't heal Gu Shanshan's body, there's only one possibility.

Gu Shanshan... is dead.
