Chapter 366
Wen Xin looked up at the vampire duke sitting on the sofa, his arms casually draped over the armrests, exuding a cold and noble aura, looking down upon the world...
What kind of brain-dead dark creature would dare to show up here?
Didn't you see that the dark aura on her summoning circle disappeared completely in an instant?
I reckon the dark creature she summoned must have been terrified by the presence of the vampire duke, and dared not show its face.
Wen Xin wasn't disappointed; she still had a lot of confidence in herself.
Wen Xin put away the witch's staff, her pretty face beaming with a bright smile as she shared her joy with him, "Odis, I've learned a black magic spell."
Her image was reflected in the calm eyes of the vampire duke. "Very good."
Wen Xin tilted her head. "Just those two words? Odis, you're so insincere."
Upon hearing this, the dark deity seated amidst the light and shadow rose from the sofa, walked to her, and opened his hand. In his palm was a blooming red rose, its blood-red color dazzling and captivating, stirring the heart.
Wen Xin's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked softly, "Is it for me?"
The vampire duke nodded slightly. "Yes, it's yours."
The girl happily took the rose from his palm, lowered her head to smell it lightly. The fragrance was light and pleasant, not as strong as she had imagined.
She smiled and said, "Thank you, I like it very much."
The vampire duke looked down at her. "It's time to sleep."
"What?"
Wen Xin paused for a moment.
He said, "Let's rest."
Wen Xin looked at the cuckoo clock and realized it was already 10 p.m.
But which young person goes to bed at 10 p.m.?
The nightlife is just getting started at this hour!
Holding a rose in one hand and tugging at his sleeve with the other, she chatted with him, "At this time in the past, I would have been praying at the Temple of Light."
The vampire grand duke slowly asked, "Want to do it?"
Wen Xin: "?"
What to do?
Could he be praying to the God of Light in his bedchamber?
Wouldn't the God of Light be so angry that he would come down from heaven to fight him to the death?
Or should Wen Xin praise this legendary God of Darkness for being so generous?
However, looking into his dark and unfathomable eyes, she suppressed a laugh and asked, "You really don't mind?"
The vampire duke gave a faint "hmm".
Saying one thing and meaning another!
Wen Xin chuckled, leaned closer to him, and brushed the rose against his chest. "Odis, you're lying."
Grand Duke of the Vampires: "No."
Wen Xin insisted: "Yes, there is."
Grand Duke of the Vampires: "..."
To her surprise, the vampire lord picked her up and carried her on his arm like a baby. It wasn't nearly as romantic as when he carried her that morning.
Wen Xin wrapped her arms around his neck and scolded him, "What are you doing?"
The vampire duke didn't answer. He carried her and teleported into the black coffin. Suddenly, everything went black before her eyes, so dark that she couldn't see her own hand in front of her face.
Just like last night, Wen Xin, nestled against his chest, thought, "..."
Is this considered locking someone in a dark room at the slightest disagreement?
Wen Xin laughed in exasperation, then poked the Grand Duke who had shielded her from the brunt of her anger, "Odis, how could you be like this?"
In the darkness, the vampire lord grasped her small hand precisely, his low, magnetic, and cool voice carrying a gentle coaxing tone, "Sleep."
Wen Xin disagreed with him, saying, "No."
Grand Duke of the Vampires: "..."
The girl argued with him, "Didn't you just say you could let me pray? And you said you weren't lying."
The vampire lord was silent for a moment, then said, "Now, that's fine too."
Wen Xin: "..."
Praying in his coffin?
Would she still lie in his arms and do it?
This isn't rebellion anymore, is it?
The God of Light will really descend to earth and perish together with them.
The girl chuckled softly, like a gentle breeze rustling through the petals, filling the air with a delicate fragrance. "Odis, if you don't want me to pray, just say so. You're so awkward."
Why does he always treat her with such an old-fashioned, traditional air?
But who would bring a younger person into their bedroom... to sleep in a coffin?
The vampire lord remained silent.
In the quiet, dark space, there was no sound. The vampire had no heartbeat and could hold her breath completely. If she hadn't been lying on top of him, she wouldn't have been able to feel his presence at all.
After marveling at how much boldness she had gained, Wen Xin continued to poke him, "Don't pretend to be asleep. You're so aloof, I'm starting to think you don't want to talk to me anymore."
For the sake of this old-fashioned Grand Duke, the Holy Maiden... I misspoke, now it's the Witch, has completely abandoned her aloof and noble persona.
Otherwise, a snow-capped mountain against an iceberg would be a disaster!
Love is not easy, the witch sighed.
Wen Xin felt her hair being touched, and he gently stroked her face before patting her back like he was comforting a child.
A certain duke showed her through his actions that he did not ignore her.
Tell the little girl not to overthink things and to go to sleep quietly.
Wen Xin: "..." Can't you even say a word?
Talking doesn't cost money.
Oh well, I'll pamper my old-fashioned grand duke myself.
Wen Xin covered her mouth and yawned lazily, nuzzling against his chest, her voice sleepy and soft, "Odis, goodnight."
The vampire lord gently brushed his cool fingertips against her small face.
The cool touch made Wen Xin's thoughts wander as she was about to drift into a dream.
It doesn't feel cold at all tonight, much better than last night.
Are the pills given by the convent really that effective?
It doesn't seem so. In my previous life, the effects of the medicine wore off on the second day, and the fragments of my soul were almost frozen to death by the low temperature of the underground palace.
However, unlike Wen Xin, the soul fragments did not fall into his black coffin at that time, but only appeared in his bedroom.
Later, she remained wary and distant of the vampire duke and never slept with him.
But after the effects of the medicine wore off today, Wen Xin didn't feel the slightest bit of coldness all day.
Ah, is it because she is wearing Odysseus's clothes?
But when she touched anything in the bedchamber, she didn't feel any coldness in her hands.
The entire sleeping quarters seemed to be kept at a constant temperature, the temperature most suitable for human survival.
Did he do something?
It definitely is!
