Chapter 368
When she slept in his arms at night, she would occasionally poke him.
It was pitch black back then, and she couldn't see anything. Well, since she couldn't see anything herself, it wasn't awkward.
But now...
The vampire lord gently squeezed the girl's slender, soft fingers. "It's alright."
Wen Xin looked at him, then looked at him again, but still couldn't discern any emotion in him.
Doesn't he feel anything special when she touches him inappropriately?
If it weren't for the vivid memories of her past life, Wen Xin would have seriously doubted his feelings for her.
It's not that he wasn't sincere towards her, but rather, what exactly did he take her for?
It couldn't be her daughter, could it?
That would be a bit scary!
But what about that?
Vampires don't care about ethics or morality, and they don't have to worry about genetic diseases either.
Even high-bloodline vampires will prioritize finding mates among close relatives to ensure the strength and purity of their bloodline.
Of course, vampires don't adhere to monogamy. They have long lifespans and are incredibly promiscuous, with countless wives and lovers.
For example, novice nuns in a convent are not only food for vampires, but also their prospective lovers.
Unfortunately, no matter how good the kidneys are, the fertility rate of vampires is still pitifully low.
Especially for two high-bloodline vampires, even after thousands of years together, they might not be able to have children.
On the contrary, the chances of a human conceiving a vampire child are slightly higher.
However, vampire children born to humans will have their bloodline and abilities significantly weakened.
The unfortunate vampire viscount who was killed by Wen Yu was the child of Marquis Maxim and a human.
Because he was conceived by a human, his bloodline and abilities were far inferior to his father's. Even though Marquis Maxim used many treasures to upgrade him, he only reached the rank of vampire viscount.
If he were as powerful as Marquis Maxim, it's hard to say who would kill whom between him and Wen Yu.
Similarly, the vampires have always encouraged high-bloodline vampires to have children, and of course, they do not discriminate against or abandon children born to vampires and humans.
Alas, the vampire population is really too small. As long as someone is one of their own kind, the vampires will accept them.
If something were to happen to those high-bloodline vampires, and their offspring were powerless, the vampire race might face its demise...
Ahem, I've gone off-topic.
Wen Xin's thoughts, which had been pondering what identity Odis should define for herself, suddenly drifted away.
Wen Xin's eyelids twitched. What was she, a former successor of the Holy Maiden of Light, worried about regarding the inheritance of the vampire clan?
If the Holy See finds out, they'll be spitting blood!
Well, she can't be the Holy Maiden of Light anymore; she's a witch now.
Besides, who told her that her sweetheart was the ancestor of the vampire clan?
Can't she stop worrying for even a moment?
A cool, light touch landed on her cheek, like a snowflake. Wen Xin snapped out of her daze and looked at the vampire duke with a puzzled expression.
"Feeling unwell?"
The vampire lord asked in a low voice.
Wen Xin: "No, you don't feel uncomfortable?"
The vampire lord's pale, jade-like fingers landed on her rosy cheeks. "Very red."
Wen Xin: "..."
Wen Xin covered her face, sat up from his arms, her curled eyelashes drooping, "It's too...too hot, isn't it?"
"hot?"
The vampire lord was puzzled.
He kept the temperature in his bedchamber at her most comfortable level, and while his coolness wouldn't hurt her, it would make her feel refreshed. How could she be hot?
The vampire lord pulled her back into his arms and reached out to examine her body, but then, remembering something, he looked into her eyes and asked, "Is it alright?"
Wen Xin: "..."
What is allowed and what is not?
Why did you say such suggestive things?
Grand Duke of the Vampires: "Hmm?"
Wen Xin crossed her arms over her chest. "I'm fine."
The vampire duke frowned slightly. "His face is very red."
Wen Xin: "...Blushing doesn't necessarily mean you're feeling unwell, does it?"
Why is that?
The vampire lord humbly sought his advice.
Wen Xin gently bit her red lips.
She could also tell him: I was thinking that if we had a child in the future, would the child be much weaker? If he were to be unlucky enough to be stabbed by bad guys like Maxim's youngest son, that would be too tragic.
The fact that in this world, when vampires and humans have children, makes the children weaker is really annoying.
Ah, no...
Wen Xin became withdrawn. How could she have thought of having a baby with the two of them?
She still has no idea what he thinks of her now.
The witch, growing increasingly withdrawn, glared at the old, unrefined duke and said coquettishly, "It's all your fault."
Grand Duke of the Vampires: "?"
Under his cool, indifferent yet questioning gaze, Wen Xin blushed and bumped into his chest, then punched him lightly, continuing her unreasonable tantrum, "Anyway, it's all your fault!"
The vampire lord paused for a moment, then gently stroked her hair with a hint of caution and coaxing.
...
"Master, Master~"
In the dead of night, Wen Xin was sleeping soundly in the arms of the vampire duke when she was woken up by the silly butterfly.
A surge of irritation welled up in Wen Xin's heart. She raised her hand, intending to smash the silly butterfly into a specimen, but accidentally used too much force and smashed it directly into the face of the vampire duke.
Ouch... Wen Xin, who hit someone, is in pain!
The vampire lord opened his eyes, took her small hand in his, and rubbed it. "What's wrong?"
The pain in Wen Xin's hand subsided, and she bit her lip shyly.
She hit someone, injuring her own hand, and then demanded that the person she hit treat her injury. Wen Xin herself couldn't accept that.
Her soft voice was apologetic, "I woke you up, I'm sorry, Odis."
Feeling him stroke her face, Wen Xin heard his deep, steady voice in the darkness, "It's alright."
He asked again, "Nightmares?"
"Hmm."
Wen Xin gave a vague reply.
But isn't the silly butterfly that woke you up a nightmare?
Kill it!
Little Gold trembled: Master, please let me explain first, okay?
How can they sentence someone just like that?
Moreover...
Little Jin whispered humbly: It was you, Master, who told me to wake you up!
Wen Xin sneered: What nonsense are you spouting?
Xiao Jin almost cried: Really, Master, didn't you say that after you started the live stream for Wen Yu and Andrei, you would report to you immediately?
It perfectly executes its master's commands, yet it still makes mistakes?
Waaaaah, being a butterfly is so hard!
