"Hiss—what's that in your hand? How can it hurt me!" Layton looked at the human in front of him with suspicion and uncertainty.
Just over a month ago, he had been humiliated and abused at will, but now he had somehow acquired this treasure, which could inflict irreparable damage on him.
Di Xiu didn't waste any words with him. He stomped his foot, and the tip of his sword was aimed straight at his heart. Layton dared not take the attack head-on anymore. He dodged the attack and was about to bite open his wrist to bleed out when suddenly his vision blurred and a burning pain came from his back.
He watched in horror as his body rapidly burst into flames, centered on the exposed tip of the sword at his heart.
"No, no, no..."
A warm hand patted the back of his head, and before his head disappeared, he finally heard the human behind him say, "Have you vampires ever been to the Eastern Continent?"
East, Mainland?
He ceased thinking and fell into eternal silence.
The flames didn't reach anything other than the vampires; not a single hair on the carpet on the ground was curled up. Di Xiu drew his peach wood sword, casually flicked it, and the filthy blood on it instantly turned into wisps of green smoke.
001 squatted down next to the handful of ash and blew on it, but of course, not a single speck of dust was moved.
"A pitiful and pathetic race, they don't even have a soul. They've truly died without leaving anything behind. Tsk tsk tsk, a fourth-generation cultivator, and they can't even beat a Spirit Warrior."
001 secretly praised her boss, her face full of pride.
There are differences between spirit masters. His family's big boss is clearly the kind who can unleash 1000% of his strength. A mere fourth generation, hmph.
Di Xiu glanced at him, picked him up and put him on the sofa, said "dirty," and looked out the window.
The chirping of insects and birds, which had stopped sometime earlier, began again. This seemed to be Layton's talent, something he possessed the moment he became a vampire. He could set up barriers, and this had appeared several times in different timelines.
He just set up a perimeter around the Zhong family's house, which successfully prevented disturbance to the neighbors. That's good.
Vampires don't leave behind any corpses after they die, which is convenient and quite good.
The moon is beautiful tonight; I wonder if it will attract another vampire.
Di Xiu and 001 sat there until dawn, feeling slightly regretful. He hadn't sensed the death of Locke's descendant and hadn't even sent out a single blood bat.
As for charging straight into Locke's base, Emperor Xiu only thought about it. The level of the Spirit Warriors was still too weak. With his skills and talismans, he should be able to deal with the Third Generation alone, but if other vampires interfered, he might not be able to hold onto the Third Generation vampire.
He reflected on his actions and decided to look for a place with a higher concentration of spiritual energy when he had the chance.
As dawn broke, Di Xiu went to the school to process his leave of absence. When he was about to leave, many students blocked the entrance, and at a glance, they were all girls vying for attention.
"Zhong, are you feeling unwell? Why are you taking a leave of absence from school?"
"Yes, yes, how are you feeling? We're very worried about you."
"Prince Zhong isn't here, and neither is Prince Locke. Is it related to that little brat, Ariel?"
"How long will Zhong be taking a leave of absence from school, and when will she be able to come back?"
"Prince Zhong..."
"bell……"
A question mark appeared on Di Xiu's forehead. Why were these classmates so agitated when he was just taking a break from his studies to focus on his own things? What were they thinking about all day long instead of studying properly? And where did this prince come from?
The head of student affairs chuckled and blocked the enthusiastic girls, shouting, "Go back to class, all of you! Don't you want your credits?"
"We just want to know when Prince Zhong can come back to school."
"He'll be back once he's finished with his personal matters. Now all of you, go back to class."
Threatening with credits and demerits, the head teacher finally sent the group of girls back to their classroom when the bell rang.
Di Xiu nodded slightly to him and left Rose Academy.
While waiting for the car, 001 said, "This is quite troublesome. Why don't we apply for a car from the Blood Hunter Alliance?"
The original owner of this body was still a month away from turning 18, but here, 16-year-olds can get married, and driving is no problem at all.
"Alright."
When the taxi arrived, Di changed the address and headed to the Alliance Building. The only problem was his driver's license, but the logistics manager helped him solve it after confirming that he could drive.
The car isn't new; someone used it before, so that's not a big deal.
Di Xiu got the car keys and went down to the 12th floor mission department. He read through all the contents of the mission board. The sign that had been used to judge the fifth generation of vampires was still on it. He reached out, took it down, and handed it to the old man without turning his head.
"Dead."
The old man took it, silently looked at the back of his head, his eyes swirling with emotion and a touch of melancholy.
It's actually not easy to determine whether a vampire is truly dead or not, since there's no corpse after death, and everything depends on their word. Therefore, at least two vampire hunters must go on missions to prevent anyone from giving false results.
Sometimes, when blood hunters are hunting down a vampire who has committed a crime, the vampire insists on protecting him, claiming that the vampire has already been dealt with. There's nothing the hunters can do, since evidence is something that no one can produce.
"Zhong, are you hurt?"
Di Xiu turned around, shook his head slightly, and asked, "Are there any more difficult tasks?"
Due to the treaty signed by both sides three hundred years ago, vampires who have not committed any crimes cannot be touched. In this sense, the human side is actually quite aggrieved.
He is not yet able to change the situation on his own, nor does he intend to challenge the treaty for the time being, so he came to see if there is anything suitable for action in the alliance.
The old man looked him up and down and suddenly said, "I wanted to say this last time, you seem to have changed. I remember you used to be quite cheerful."
