Su Liu is a well-known angel investor in the industry, having partnered with many projects. Compared to those low-budget yet explosively popular works, "City of Spark" could only be conside...

The two vampires talked for a while before Su Liu went to find Ji He to explain the relevant matters.
"City Lord, are you going to leave me here alone?" Ji He was a little scared.
"Just consider yourself a guest and come here for vacation. Besides, the hot summer is coming, and it's nice to stay here to escape the heat. Don't worry, she won't do anything to you. Her place is safer than other vampire manors, and now it is a branch of our Spark City. As an affairs officer, you have to stay and help me familiarize myself with the situation," Su Liu held Ji He's hand. He felt it was time to make a small cut in Ji He's dependence on him. Spark City would soon become a materialization, and Ji He would have to face more people in the future. Su Liu couldn't take care of him all the time.
Instead of keeping him in captivity "for his own good", it is better to train Ji He while he is in a safe area.
"...Okay," Ji He hesitated.
Seeing that Ji He's attitude had softened somewhat, Su Liu added, "Your new sister has passed the test. I can also ask the Duke to bring her here to live."
"Really?" Ji He became happy.
"Let's wait until tomorrow. It's a bit late today," Su Liu told Ji He to go to bed early and walked next door.
Qi Fengling in the next room was already lying on the bed waiting for Su Liu. After quickly washing up, Su Liu also climbed onto the bed.
"Brother Feng Ling, I always feel like something is amiss. How could this be such a coincidence?" Su Liu analyzed, "Could it be that our whereabouts have been leaked?"
What is even more puzzling is that all three of them passed the trial.
In other words, they really have no problems, they just come here to seek a way to make a living simply because they can't make ends meet.
"Let's go to sleep first, you are tired. I will check again tomorrow. These three people are fine, but their families may not be fine," Qi Fengling hugged Su Liu and kissed Su Liu on the forehead.
"Just say it, why did you kiss me?" Su Liu blushed and complained in a low voice, "You are so annoying."
Ever since the "late-night chase", the two of them rarely even held hands, as if they had returned to the stage of secret love which was even more hazy than the ambiguous stage.
Qi Fengling came over, kissed Su Liu's lips carefully, and asked, "Would you like a simple meal?"
"Eat something." It had indeed been a long time since he had eaten, so Su Liu closed his eyes.
When Qi Fengling opened his mouth, Su Liu's face flushed and even her eyes were wet.
"Brother Feng Ling," Su Liu whispered, watching Qi Feng Ling's Adam's apple slide up and down, "I'm actually very afraid of physical contact with people. When I was little, I would go shopping and see adults hugging, chasing and playing, and I would feel disgusted. Am I abnormal?"
"How could that be? You were just brought up too seriously," Qi Fengling hugged Su Liu's waist tightly through the quilt.
"Is that so?" Su Liu lowered her eyelashes, "But... have you ever seen that kind of documentary?"
"What documentary?" Qi Fengling's eyes were blank.
"It's an educational documentary that teaches us how to safely get through the 'estrus period'," Su Liu suddenly felt dry in the mouth and told Qi Fengling to pour him a glass of water.
Qi Fengling got up to get some water.
After Su Liu drank half a glass of water in one breath, Qi Fengling still looked at Su Liu with a blank look, as if waiting for Su Liu to answer his questions.
"The documentary was made by my former physiology teacher. Before I watched the documentary, he and his wife were a model couple. But after watching their documentary, I suddenly realized that they were not that much in love and were just getting along with each other superficially," Su Liu said a little sadly.
The documentary Su Liu watched was the kind that explained physiology in detail. Even if key private information was blurred, it most likely could not be leaked. That was why Qi Fengling didn't know that such a documentary existed.
"Although he tried to be gentle in every step, I still only felt his wife's forbearance and pain in the documentary. At that time, there was little pity, but more possession and bestiality, and... the 'estrus period' usually lasted at least three days. I was really scared and didn't want to get married anymore," Su Liu still turns pale with fear when she recalls the scenes of the documentary.
"My teacher told me that it was a teaching film and would be gentler. The reality might be more terrifying than what I saw," Su Liu said, choking back tears. "I really don't like it. I'm afraid of the pain."
"You're generalizing too much," Qi Fengling finally understood Su Liu's hesitation and entanglement, as well as those struggles and fears. "Everyone's feelings about love are different. Your teacher definitely loves his wife, but his love is primitive and wild. So what seems normal to him is just cruel and bloody to you."
Besides, it was just an instructional film and could only be used as a reference. It was not the only correct way to open it, so there was no need to follow it step by step.
"Then what do you think love is?" Su Liu leaned on the side of the pillow like a helpless little animal, blinking her tear-stained eyes and looking at Qi Fengling.
"Love is the possession after learning to let go, it is exchanging one's true heart for another's true heart," Qi Fengling's eyes were full of seriousness.
"After all, you still want to possess me," Su Liu pouted, "but I think love is companionship without regrets and without desire."
"Which Alpha in the world can do this?" Qi Fengling smiled and kissed Su Liu, "You are so innocent, do you just want company?"
"Can't you be more content? Why are you so greedy and always want to possess?" Su Liu hit Qi Fengling.
"Strictly speaking, the companionship you want is also a form of possession," Qi Fengling argued.
"How can they be the same?" Su Liu was very unconvinced. "My possession is a noun, and yours is a verb!"
Qi Fengling thought Su Liu was really cute, so he laughed, "Okay, then we'll each do our part. You'll be responsible for possessing my spirit, and I'll possess your body. It's the best of both worlds."
"What you said is so harsh. It's obviously me who controls your spirit, and in return, I reluctantly let you control my body," Su Liu seemed to have made a concession.
"You have dominated my mind for so long. When can I dominate you?" Qi Fengling pinched Su Liu's waist.
"Oh," Su Liu sighed, "No, I'm still scared. I haven't agreed to let you be my boyfriend yet."
"After being your fiancé for a few months, I'm not even your boyfriend?" Qi Fengling pinched Su Liu's waist again with amusement. Last time, Su Liu showed unexpected enthusiasm, so why did he become so indifferent now?
Qi Fengling's hint reminded Su Liu of something and she muttered, "I was just too happy that time. I've decided that if I encounter something so happy again next time, I will absolutely not make any decisions and I won't answer any of your questions."
Ecstasy makes people lose their minds. How could he agree to such a thing? It's like he was drunk.
No, he must stay awake at all times.
"Then let me kiss you again, okay?" Qi Fengling compromised.
"I don't want to kiss you anymore, you're always so hard," Su Liu's lips flushed red, "I'm so thirsty, give me some water."
Qi Fengling obediently handed the cup of water to Su Liu.
Su Liu drank another half cup.
After drinking, Su Liu glared at Qi Fengling and said, "You are really annoying."
"I don't know why I'm so annoyed. It's like life is meaningless if I don't kiss you." Qi Fengling gently sniffed the glands on Su Liu's neck. "Su Liu, you smell so good and you look so beautiful."
"If I flavored like durian, would you still like it?" Su Liu pushed away Qi Fengling's head and asked in a somewhat coercive manner.
Qi Fengling thought for a while before saying, "But you don't taste like durian."
After a pause, Qi Fengling continued, "Then... I'm not vanilla, will you still like me?"
"......" Su Liu was actually outmaneuvered. She felt embarrassed and angry. "How can there be so many ifs in life? When I liked you, you were like this. How could I know if I would like you if you were not like this!"
"It's the same with me," Qi Fengling said, "When I fell in love with you, I was attracted by the whole thing. If you asked me to take it apart one by one, I still wouldn't be able to choose which one I like more."
"You are so cunning," Su Liu said angrily.
Qi Fengling hugged Su Liu and smiled.
The two vampires were laughing and joking, and fell into a deep sleep unknowingly.
Get up the next day.
Su Liu got the first-hand information.
Xiaoling's father and Ji Bai's brother-in-law actually found the same buyer.
Ruoshui's mother was the middleman who brought the two parties together.
It's like pulling out a carrot and bringing out a hole.
Su Liu asked Qi Fengling to send a pigeon to tell Lin Shu to handle the task of punishing evil and promoting good.
After breakfast, Su Liu strolled around the farm twice and then said goodbye to Pan Xuesun.
Before embarking on a new journey, Su Liu said a few more words to Ji He, and then took Qi Fengling to participate in the annual "Beauty Pageant".
While eating and playing, the two vampires slowly and leisurely enjoyed the scenery along the way.
It was a week later when Su Liu found Dang Xia who was arranged in the dark.
"How about it? Can I sneak in and take a look?" Su Liu was eating fruit corn with relish.
The streets were lined with red strips decorated with lights and colorful lanterns. On the city gate not far away, there was a huge red cloth hanging, which was the red list of the "Beauty Pageant".
"It's difficult. The red list is controlled by the four major families of 'Lin Pei Gu Lu'. If you want to get in, you have to pass through layers of screening. Sometimes they may also look at your physical condition. You... are not suitable." Dang Xia was also chewing corn and sitting in the courtyard with Su Liu to watch the fun.
Several teams of people searching for beauties passed by the door and looked at Su Liu several times, but when they saw that the person sitting next to him was a third-generation vampire, they didn't dare to say a word.
"Why don't they come in to catch me? There are several teams of people here. Aren't you tired of walking back and forth like this?" Su Liu looked out the open door and his eyes briefly met with those of the new team.
The team leader was obviously very interested in Su Liu, probably because he had never seen such a noble beauty.
Just as he was about to come in, a team not far away quickly stopped him loudly and called him over to give him a lecture.
"He can't do it, he's a noble Omega," the team captain said to his good brother.
"She's quite pretty. I've never seen a beauty with such a temperament," said the Alpha who had just wanted to come in. "I didn't expect anything special, I just wanted to chat with her."
"What are you talking about? Are you trying to kill yourself? Do you know that the low-key Alpha next to him is a high-level vampire?" the good brother said in a low voice.
"...It doesn't look like it. Are you sure it's high-level?" the man asked persistently.
"You are so lustful that you don't care about your life. Look over there..." The good brother said with a frown, pointing to a place not far away.
"What's that over there? Isn't it just the king's patrol? They come here to maintain order every year at this time. What's the big deal?" The man was confused.
"Such a beautiful Omega, why don't they go and catch her?" The good brother gritted his teeth.
"It's not their responsibility to arrest people. Wasn't that our job in previous years?" The man was even more confused.
"The Omega you like, the one sitting next to him is a third-generation vampire!" The good brother patted the man's shoulder heavily.
"...How do you know?" The man rubbed his shoulders and said unconvincedly.
"How should I know? The patrol captain said it himself! He didn't allow us to go over, saying that the Omega was very dangerous." The good brother was almost crying because of his stupidity.
"…How can an Omega be dangerous?"
