That night, the fog began to drizzle, and the lights in the Eiler family's manor were brightly lit.
A group of people from the Eller family gathered in front of a room, talking a lot. Craigie and Ji Wenping were among them, and their faces looked very unhappy.
Soon, Ji Wenping's rage could no longer be contained. He grabbed Craigie by the collar and roared, "It's all your fault for stalling for time! Otherwise, there wouldn't be all this trouble! Are you satisfied now?!"
Craig's eyes were erratic, his face was ashen, and he could only weakly reply: "I'm...I'm sorry..."
"Now that you've become like this, it's no use saying sorry!"
"Commander Shen is here!"
Someone shouted, and everyone made way.
“Da…da…”
Shen Cheng held the cane Bowen gave him, walked through the crowd step by step, and entered the room.
His expression was calm, so calm that it was a little strange, as if he was suppressing something. Everyone stopped talking at once, and for a moment you could hear a pin drop in the room.
The rain is still falling outside.
Shen Cheng walked into the room and shifted his gaze to see Liusu lying on the bed, her face pale and in a very bad condition.
Walking forward, Shen Cheng held Liusu's hand and called out in a low voice, "Liusu?"
Hearing Shen Cheng's voice, Liu Su slowly opened her eyes, looked at Shen Cheng, and forced a smile: "Shen...Cheng, so...cold."
Chen Cheng took off his coat, covered Liu Su with it, and said softly, "It's okay, just bear with it for a while."
While speaking, Shen Cheng looked at the side of Liusu's neck.
Two blood holes appeared on Liusu's white neck, very conspicuous.
"What happened?" Shen Cheng turned his head and looked at the people of the Eller family and spoke lightly.
"One of our people happened to see her lying outside when they went out, and she was like this when they brought her back."
"It's the First Embrace transformation."
Fran, who was squatting in the corner, spoke up, "And judging by her aura, it seems she's still in the Prince's First Embrace. Once the transformation is complete, she'll possess the power of a vampire duke. It's quite terrifying."
Bloody Duke!
As soon as they heard about the Duke of the Blood Clan, the people of the Eller family immediately became alert and looked at Liusu with unfriendly eyes. Even a few young people were eager to try.
"I wonder who dares to touch her."
Shen Cheng spoke again, his tone was calm and his voice was not loud, but it seemed to carry an unquestionable attitude - whoever dares to take a step forward will surely suffer a fate worse than death!
As soon as the words fell, the young men immediately wilted and everyone took a step back.
Because they felt the murderous aura from Shen Cheng that was being restrained with all his might!
“Chen Cheng…”
Hearing Liusu's voice, Shen Cheng slowly lowered his head and put his ear close to Liusu's mouth: "What's wrong?"
"I... feel so uncomfortable..."
While speaking, Liusu looked at the sword and staff in Shen Cheng's hand, and the meaning was self-evident.
Shen Cheng: “…”
Slowly raising his head, Shen Cheng chose to remain silent.
"This was a very popular pastime among the vampires in the past."
Fran continued to explain in the corner, "They perform the First Embrace transformation ritual on one of a couple or family, then slow down the process and deliberately leave it with the other person. They either kill them before they become a vampire First Embrace, or allow them to become a vampire First Embrace and then watch them kill themselves."
After hearing Fran's explanation, everyone in the Eller family couldn't help but shudder.
They also have lovers and families. It is really hard to imagine what choice they would make if they encountered such a thing.
"Is there no solution?" Shen Cheng turned to look at Fulan and asked.
Fran was silent for a moment, then replied, "Before she truly becomes a vampire, kill the vampire who performed the First Embrace ritual on her."
According to Fran, there is only one vampire who performs the ritual on Liusu, and that is the prince of the vampire clan.
But as for that prince, Shen Cheng currently has no clue at all. The only clue is still with Heitao, but Heitao's investigation is still ongoing.
Liusu seemed not to hear the sound outside. There was only the shadow of Chen Cheng in her blurry eyes. She raised her hand with difficulty and slowly stroked the side of Chen Cheng's face.
Chen Cheng could feel that Liusu's palm was very cold, as if it had lost its temperature.
"I wanted to make dinner for you... but unfortunately... I can't..."
"How could I not be able to do it?" Chen Cheng held Liusu's hand and said softly, "I still want to eat the food you cook. Don't give up..."
Liusu spoke in a low voice, as if she had used up all her strength to express every word: "Chen Cheng, I miss home... I want to go home... and make breakfast for you... just like... usual..."
"It's okay, we'll go home together."
Looking at Liusu's appearance, Shen Cheng's voice began to tremble slightly.
"Chen Cheng...I...like you..."
With her lips trembling, Liusu finally uttered these words slowly.
"I... really like you... I want to stay by your side... I want to always make breakfast for you... I want to wear a wedding dress for you like we did when we took the photo that day..."
“…Yeah, alright.”
Shen Cheng's sudden reply made Liusu's eyes widen slightly.
"Liu Su, you have to hold on, okay? I promise you, we'll go on together and take care of each other in the future, but you also have to promise me that you must hold on, okay?"
Listening to Chen Cheng's sincere eyes and word-by-word reply, Liusu opened her mouth, but her throat seemed to be choked by something.
