Chapter 363
"Running away is out of the question," Wen Xin glared at him, holding up the thick, forbidden book of black magic. "But I'm going to practice black magic now and become a witch," she thought, "I'll make you furious!"
To any request she made, the vampire grand duke simply replied with a single word: "Okay."
Then he gave her an encouraging look, believing that she would soon master the skills.
Wen Xin: "..." Okay, I'm so angry!
Wen Xin turned around abruptly, placed the forbidden book of black magic on the sofa armrest to read, and ignored him.
Grand Duke of the Vampires: "?"
He stared at the girl's fair and delicate profile, noticing that she neither spoke to him nor turned to smile at him...
The vampire lord pursed his thin lips slightly, and after a moment, rose and walked behind the screen.
Wen Xin: "!!!"
Is he ignoring her altogether?
Has his temper gotten worse?
Wen Xin puffed up her cheeks; it was clear she couldn't live like this anymore.
Is there any guy as straight as him?
So annoying!
Just thinking about how, in her past life, his usually deep and calm eyes held a heavy, deathly pain as she lay dying made Wen Xin feel deflated again.
Oh well, it's not like we just found out he's a staid, old-fashioned guy.
Your Majesty should be magnanimous and not bother with that old fogey.
Wen Xin continued flipping through the forbidden book of black magic. She didn't intend to learn the harmful magic, but she still needed to understand it, lest she suffer the same fate as the Soul Fragment from that trashy little sister.
She mainly wanted to learn some witchcraft that she could use to protect herself.
This continent, where technology and fantasy coexist, is not peaceful, so cultivating oneself for self-preservation is still quite important.
Formidable strength is always the best currency.
Besides, she also needed to go back to Bright City to talk to her trashy sister about what true sisterly love is.
Wen Xin couldn't allow herself to end up like the soul fragments, needing to trade her life for the lives of those two bastards.
Ha, she's now the Holy Maiden Niohuru!
Xiao Jin: "..." I think you're the silly saintess, right?
Wen Xin narrowed her almond-shaped eyes slightly: "What are you thinking about?"
If Little Gold had fur, it would be standing on end right now. It quickly retorted, "Master, Little Gold is thinking that you are the most beautiful and powerful saintess in the world, unparalleled in history, truly, I swear!"
Wen Xin sneered, just as she was about to strangle the silly butterfly that was gossiping about its master, the sleeve of her black dress embroidered with dark red patterns fell down, and a black scepter inlaid with blood-red gemstones appeared before her eyes.
"Um?"
"Here, you can use it."
The vampire duke's expression and tone remained unchanged, but upon closer reflection, it seemed he was trying to coax her.
Wen Xin looked at him blankly, then at the black scepter in front of her, "What is this?"
Grand Duke of the Vampires: "The Scepter of the First Witch."
Wen Xin: "???!!!"
She pointed incredulously at herself, "Give it to me?"
The vampire duke nodded solemnly: "Yes."
So, you're not angry anymore?
Wen Xin: "..."
No, darling, you, the super big shot who is recognized by the entire continent as the most intolerant of witches, are now giving away forbidden books of black magic and witch scepters. Is this really okay?
But the scepter of the first witch!
Wen Xin toyed with the light yet ominous witch's scepter in her hand. With it, her cultivation would be twice as effective, and the day of revenge would be just around the corner.
Only a fool would refuse.
Besides, she doesn't need to be coy with him.
Okay, I should still be reserved and polite. Wen Xin shook the scepter in her hand. "Are you really giving it to me?"
The vampire duke nodded. "Mm."
Wen Xin smiled at him, her eyes crinkling.
A glint flashed in the eyes of the vampire lord, but it vanished in an instant.
Wen Xin stretched out her slender, fair fingers and tapped on the patterns on his sleeve. "If others find out that you gave me the forbidden book of black magic and the witch's wand, you'll be in a lot of trouble."
After all, he was the most ruthless big shot who ever attacked witches.
Now, he's about to elevate a dark witch, which will undoubtedly cause a huge upheaval.
The vampire duke indulged her as she played with his sleeve, his expression calm and serene. "It's alright."
Wen Xin threatened him, "Aren't you afraid that I'll learn from the other witches and plunge the Pro Continent into chaos and bloodshed again?"
Grand Duke of the Vampires: "Alright."
Wen Xin: "..."
What's so good about it?
Are you willing to sacrifice your own family for the greater good?
"No!"
"..."
The two stared at each other for a long while.
Okay, Wen Xin understands. He means she can do whatever she wants, and even if she wants to destroy the continent, he will only stand by and hand her the knife.
The girl bit her red lips lightly, her eyes brimming as she gazed at the cold and indifferent handsome face of the man before her, her heart pounding wildly.
How can he flirt with someone so seriously?
Hate!
Wen Xin clutched her heart, "Odis..."
The vampire lord suddenly leaned closer to her, his long, slender fingers landing on her heart, his calm voice tinged with a strange emotion, "Feeling unwell?"
Wen Xin: "!!!"
Where are your hands? Where did you put your hands?
Wen Xin's fair face flushed red instantly.
Before she could even get angry and push his hands away, he lifted her up into the air.
He held her firmly in his arms with one arm. The girl looked exceptionally petite, and her snow-white legs slid out from under her black robe, as pure and flawless as jade.
The vampire lord reached out and touched her forehead, soothing her in a low voice: "Don't be afraid."
Wen Xin: "..." What am I afraid of? I'm not afraid! Besides, are you being a pervert to me? Or are you being a pervert?
After touching her forehead, he placed his hand back on her heart, gently caressing it, with an unusually... passionate touch.
He...
Wen Xin felt like she was on fire.
"Feeling very uncomfortable?"
The vampire duke lowered his head and approached her. Wen Xin instantly met his deep eyes, and her soul trembled.
"You...you scoundrel!"
She felt his large hand completely covering her heart, and Wen Xin's face turned as red as blood. She raised her hand in embarrassment and anger and slapped him across the face.
As a result, tears welled up in her eyes.
So hard, so cold!
Is he a giant block of ice?
