Suppressing the nausea and unease in her heart, Xiang Wan clenched her fists and rolled over deliberately when she landed, attempting to use the pressure of her position to force Audra out.
To everyone's surprise, Audra seemed to have known her intentions beforehand. He quickly circled around her waist, but still didn't emerge from her clothes. Instead, he found the best spot and comfortably opened his mouth to suck blood.
"Don't resist, it will be over in a moment."
Audra licked her lips, her icy tongue tracing a path across Xiang Wan's chest, sending a shiver through her body.
It wasn't the sensitivity of being touched, but the trembling of being suddenly attacked by cold.
"Your Highness, time is running out." Xiang Wan was trying her best to suppress the urge to explode.
"Don't speak, I haven't had enough to drink yet."
Xiang Wan: "..."
She couldn't believe Audra would be so shameless, crawling right inside her clothes to suck her blood, saving her the trouble of even walking. He'd tormented her for so long, forcing her not only to obey his orders but also to provide him with fresh blood, using her as a walking blood bag. Even without a mission, if this was how she was going to spend the rest of her life, Xiang Wan would never want to be controlled by him!
She slowly rose, and before her lay a wide avenue leading to the city. A carriage was already waiting by the roadside. Xiang Wan shook her robes and slipped inside.
The driver cracked his whip and sped off along the main road in the center of the city, heading in the other direction.
Audra, having drunk his fill of blood, lay down on Xiang Wan to rest. Xiang Wan tried to forget the existence of this vampire prince, projecting her mental energy to survey the outside world.
This is a small town, and at night, the streets are deserted. Occasionally, you can see figures flashing by; these are vampires wandering among the crowds, or hunters chasing after them.
Humans inhabit the prince's territory. Otherwise, what vampire would provide their food, clothing, and shelter if no one made these things?
Vampires rule the night, and humans rule the day. Unless there are special circumstances, they don't interfere with each other, and they coexist peacefully.
However, vampires feed on blood and cannot avoid humans. Therefore, they generally do not settle in human settlements. For example, Audra's castle is built deep in the mountains and forests.
Every town has a Vampire Hunter League outpost, and this place is no exception.
Given Audra's strength, he could easily take Xiang Wan through this small town without worrying about anything else. At a prince's level, how could the hunters stationed here possibly detect his presence?
Unable to figure out Audra's intentions, Xiang Wan could only walk and observe.
There are still two or three hours until the moon reaches its zenith.
Inside Fangzhou City, in a secret underground chamber of a church.
"Godfather Cruise, is the holy water ready?"
The speaker was an elderly man with graying temples, his entire body concealed in a black robe. The badge on his chest gleamed in the candlelight.
He is Smith, the supreme commander of the Vampire Hunter League and a top-ranking hunter.
He has killed no fewer than a hundred vampires, including vampire nobles who challenged the alliance.
Since the alliance's inception, its supreme commanders have changed time and again, each a highly respected figure who has made significant contributions to humanity and possesses hunters capable of countering vampire techniques. Such commanders are revered not only by ordinary people but also by the hunters themselves, commanding unwavering loyalty. However, none of the previous supreme commanders met a peaceful end. This is because a certain level of slaughter inevitably provokes resistance from the vampires. The previous commander was killed in an attack ordered by the Blood Emperor.
Smith served in office for nearly thirty years, taking over the reins when he was only in his forties. Now, he is considered very old by human standards, yet he remains agile and energetic, likely due to his regular physical training.
The Vampire Hunter's Technique has ten levels, and it's not easy to master. This is because it requires both excellent physical fitness and the hunter's own comprehension.
Every person is born with a pre-existing vital energy (qi), the amount of which is determined by genetics. Practicing the Vampire Hunter's Technique involves manipulating this vital energy, circulating it throughout the body to expel harmful impurities and increase agility and speed. It is said that those who master the technique to its highest level can rival a vampire's teleportation abilities. However, this is merely a legend; no one has ever truly witnessed it.
Vampires have various superpowers, and only a few have the ability to teleport. Xiang Wan only knows that Audra has it, while Simon has the speed type.
Smith was asking about the church's godfather, Cruise.
This world also has Catholicism, where the power of faith can transform water into holy water powerful enough to harm or even kill vampires. The purer the holy water, the greater the damage it inflicts on vampires.
Cruise placed his right hand on his chest and bowed slightly, saying, "Mr. Smith, rest assured, all ten bottles of holy water are ready."
Smith nodded to Cruise, then turned to a middle-aged man and asked, "Alec, have the peach wood nails and silver daggers been distributed?"
The middle-aged man named Alec is a deacon in the Hunter League, in charge of logistics and personnel deployment. He is a silver-ranked hunter and also serves as the vice-principal of the Hunter Academy.
Upon hearing Smith's inquiry, he stood up, walked around the square table, and finally came to the head seat. He whispered to Smith, "Sir, the recent shipments of weapons have been frequently sabotaged. The graduates from the Hunter Academy have suffered heavy losses, so I'm prioritizing our alliance's use. Currently, one-third of the hunters are still without new weapons."
