Secondly, either Shu will exchange his life for Yin's eternal life, or Yin will exchange his life for Shu's eternal life; the two will ultimately not be able to coexist.

Thirdly, a hundred years later, Dracula will inevitably return to unity, the cause of which is a woman who possesses Samadhi Fire.

Of the three prophecies, the first one came true.

Their adoptive godfather had feelings for both of them and didn't want to sacrifice either of them, but Dracula did eventually split into Ansester, Lester, and Brower.

The prophet once came to them and said that if neither of them died, Dracula would eventually die unless he met a girl with Samadhi Fire and returned to unity.

The Godfather had no choice but to sacrifice one of them for the sake of the Dracula family.

Yin was born with extraordinary abilities and remarkable talent. Not to mention Shu, even within the Dracula clan at that time, he was a powerful figure.

The Godfather made his choice between the two men almost without much thought.

I vividly remember that day, the enormous cross, and the flames burning beneath it.

He didn't believe in these things, and naturally he didn't want to lose his life because of this inexplicable prophecy. On that day, he pretended to run away, but actually hid in the shadows and secretly watched the Godfather's choice.

However, to his surprise, Yin actually walked towards the cross, stepping on the flames.

At that moment, he no longer cared about prophecies or death.

He ran wildly toward Yin. Yin tried to stop him, but the Godfather restrained Yin, preventing him from getting close.

There was no other choice.

He glanced at the firelight, then at the Godfather's reluctant yet resolute gaze, and at his constant struggle to survive by contemplating suicide.

Step by step, he walked into a mass of red.

"don't want!"

Just as he was about to step into the flames, a piercing roar suddenly erupted from behind him, and the next second, someone hidden behind him pulled him back.

He broke free from the Godfather's control.

“Brother, I don’t want you to die.” He turned to look at Yin, reaching out to press down on the hand that was holding him. “If it has to be this way, can I die? Anyway, I was the one who was supposed to be sacrificed.”

"No, don't even think about it." Yin frowned, her eyes filled with anger and resentment as she looked at him.

"Brother, it's no use. You've saved me now, but I'm still going to die. Neither the Godfather nor the Prophet will let me go." He tried his best to appear nonchalant and smiled easily.

Yin glanced expressionlessly at the firelight before him. "Then let's die together. We've grown together for hundreds of years. I can't accept you dying in front of me."

“Why must we die together, brother?” He glanced at the tense Godfather and leaned close to his ear. “Let’s escape together, escape from here. I don’t believe in any prophecies. Why should he define our future with just a few words?”

“No,” Yin refused without hesitation upon hearing this. “Prophecies never go wrong. I can die with you, but I will never escape with you.”

When he heard this, his heart sank. His brother was so stupid. Why should they fight to the death over someone else's words?

"Alright, brother, let's die together then." He smiled with relief and hugged Yin tightly.

It's alright, I'll just die. I'll have my brother to keep me company on the road to the underworld, so I won't be too lonely.

But just as they stepped into the flames, the Godfather intervened and rescued them.

His face was closest to the flames, and even though he was rescued, his face was inevitably burned in large areas, leaving large black scars.

...

"Brother, if you really believe in prophecies, then one of us is definitely going to die. Meeting the girl with the Samadhi Fire can only change the fate of Dracula's clan's destruction. Do you remember the second prophecy?"

Shu looked up at Yin, a smile playing on his lips. Although he didn't want to smile, he didn't know what expression to make besides a smile.

"Get some rest. I still have Ansester's affairs to handle." Yin replied, and without waiting for his reply, she pushed open the door and left.

"Alright, you can come out now." Shu withdrew the sadness from her eyes and returned to her carefree and leisurely demeanor, as if that sadness had never existed.

The cabinet door creaked open, and Yi Beixuan walked out with a gloomy expression. "What kind of clothes do you have in here? They're all uglier than the last."

He couldn't help but frown as he recalled the few colorful items he had touched earlier.

"Alright, you can go now." Shu lowered her eyes but did not refute his complaint.

...

"Maybe he's overthinking it."

After listening to Mu Qingyun recount what Yi Beixuan had said, Su Qiluo shrugged indifferently, "He keeps misunderstanding that I'm interested in you. He probably said those things on purpose to try and win me over in front of you."

"Me?" Mu Qingyun frowned in surprise. "Don't you have someone you like?"

Upon hearing this, Su Qiluo simply smiled and remained silent.

"Qingsu, you've had your drink. You can leave tomorrow. I'll take care of the rest," he said softly.

"OK."

She nodded, not insisting on staying.

Actually, she has fire-related superpowers and could help, but with Yi Beixuan here, she's still a little flustered.

Although she is dressed as a girl now, it's only because she was too ugly before and is too beautiful now that people don't associate Mu Qingyun with Yun Jie.

Besides, she trusted Su Qiluo.

If even the top commander of a military academy couldn't handle this little thing, it would truly shock her and leave her extremely disappointed.

"Just go and wait at the old man's place. I'll come find you after I've done my job."

“No need,” she shook her head decisively. “I have my own things to take care of. You can leave as soon as you’re done.”

"Aren't you coming back with us?" Su Qiluo frowned. Although the vampire was dealt with, it was still not safe for a girl to be alone in this desolate wilderness.

"No, you guys just go back on your own, don't worry about me." She shook her head gently again, declining his offer.

Seeing this, Su Qiluo stopped asking questions.

Everyone has their own secrets and things to do; there's no need for him to ask or demand anything from them.

"Do you have paper and pen?" he asked, looking down.

Mu Qingyun took out paper and pen from the drawer and handed them to him.

After receiving the item, he deftly wrote his contact number on it, then took a communicator from his sleeve and handed it to her.

She reached out and caught it, looking at him with confusion.

“This is my contact number. You can contact me as long as you turn this communicator on. If anything happens, you can tell me, and I will try my best to help.” Su Qiluo pinched the paired communicator on his cuff and gestured to her.

"good."

She responded and carefully put the communicator away.

...

Time flies, and the day after tomorrow has arrived.

Su Qiluo must have already informed Yin, because Yin came early in the morning and returned the phone that he had taken from her earlier.
