With the final assessment for the Blood Emperor's succession drawing ever closer, Yi Mu took a leave of absence from school and devoted himself to traveling to various places every day, personally supervising the blood clans under his jurisdiction.
Xiang Cong also submitted his resignation to the school, stating that the road to winning back his wife was long and arduous, and he could not afford to slack off.
When the teachers in the office found out, they laughed at him, saying that he wasn't married yet but was already preparing to be a henpecked husband.
Xiang Cong and Yi Mu were inseparable every day.
What struck Yi Mu as odd was that Xiang Cong looked at so many vampires as if they were humans.
His expression was calm and indifferent, showing no surprise or anything, as if he had known all along.
Yi Mu inquired about Xiang Cong's identity, and Xiang Cong said that he was just an orphan without parents and had lived in an orphanage since he was old enough to understand things.
Because he has the ability to see ghosts, graduated from police academy, and is highly skilled in martial arts, he was introduced to the Special Inspection Department.
With just a few words, Xiang Cong shut down all the questions that Yi Mu was about to ask but hadn't yet asked.
Yi Mu only had a fleeting suspicion; he was so busy every day that he didn't have time to press Xiang Cong for answers.
After leaving the school, Xiang Cong shamelessly followed Yi Mu and moved into his house.
He had nothing to do all day, just wandering around the house, fiddling with something.
Statistical reports from various places filled the desk in the villa's study, where Yi Mu sat from morning till sunset every day.
My perfectly good eyes are going to be made nearsighted by this.
Xiang Cong felt sorry for Yi Mu, who was working so hard that dark circles had appeared under her eyes on her once-smooth face.
"Go take a bath, I'll keep an eye on things for you, and everything will be sorted out by the time you come out."
Yi Mu looked up at him, seriously doubting the sincerity of his words.
Are you sure you can do it?
Xiang Cong braced his hands on the table, quickly lowered his head and kissed Yi Mu, his eyes brimming with desire.
Never doubt your man's abilities, or he will prove you wrong.
Yi Mu's earlobes turned a tender red. He moved Xiang Cong's head away, stood up, and stretched his stiff muscles.
"Alright, if you don't know how to read it, then don't touch it, lest you mess it up for me."
Xiang Cong pressed his shoulder and pushed him out of the study.
After Yi Mu left, Xiang Cong sat down at the table and pulled out a letter from a thick English book.
The sealing wax on the envelope looked familiar; the letter had already been opened.
Xiang Cong unfolded the folded letter and quickly skimmed through its contents.
The letter was short, just a few words, but it was full of earnest meaning.
Speaking in the tone of a superior or elder, he explained some things, his words filled with admiration for Yimu.
The letter writer didn't elaborate much on the recent spate of vampire murders in the territory of Imu, only jokingly remarking that the recently born children were too restless.
I'd like to add a sentence at the end: I look forward to seeing Yimu again soon.
Xiang Cong nestled in the leather chair, expressing strong disgust at the man's unchanging tone.
He still loves to put on a show.
He probably wished he could pierce Yi Mu's heart with the finest silver while writing the letter, so that no one could threaten his supreme throne as the Blood Emperor.
They say the final Blood Emperor succession ceremony will be held in Country Z, probably because they want to eliminate Yi Mu so that no one can threaten his position as Blood Emperor.
That's quite a clever scheme.
If he weren't around, Yi Mu probably wouldn't have had any doubts about this highly respected old man.
Xiang Cong resealed it and restored it to its original state.
He walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, tilted his head slightly, and gazed at the boundless night.
In two weeks, it will be the night of the blood moon, and he must make all the necessary arrangements before then.
He didn't care about anything else; he just wanted to ensure that Yi Mu was safe and sound.
