"Mr. Smith, for your own selfish desires, you've actually used me as a scapegoat. Do you dare say that today wasn't a trap you deliberately set? What good will killing me do you? Our Hunter Alliance and the vampires have long had an agreement to abide by each other's rules and exercise their respective powers. For thousands of years, even though humanity has been weak, they haven't exterminated us. Isn't maintaining the current situation good? Why insist on starting a war? Have you considered the immense disaster your decision today will bring to humanity?"
The young hunter grew increasingly agitated, eventually jumping onto the square table and angrily shouting, "Among our various families, I'm not the only one who has married a vampire! Smith, do you intend to exterminate all the half-bloods who are loyal to our Hunter Alliance? If so, I will never agree to it!"
The crowd was in an uproar. They hadn't expected that this silver-ranked hunter would actually be connected to vampires, and they certainly hadn't expected that Mr. Smith, who was always kind-hearted, would have such extreme ideas.
Humans and vampires have coexisted for centuries, and both sides have become accustomed to it.
Those who voluntarily donate blood to vampires, those who are actively recruited and kept, and even half-bloods who enter the Hunter Academy—they all turn a blind eye, granting them maximum leniency as long as they don't do anything to harm humans. Mr. Smith had done the same before, so why his attitude changed so drastically this time? It truly left everyone wondering.
Smith watched the silver-medal hunter deliver his impassioned speech until he finished before speaking, "Tolerance and silence do not equate to weakness or lack of resistance. Noel, it is time for humanity to take control of its own destiny. The fact that there are more days than nights means that humanity is destined to destroy vampires. You disagree? Fine. Then go and watch us in prison. The day of our human victory will be the day you return to the underworld."
Before Noel could speak again, several guards standing nearby stepped forward, gagged him, and dragged him away.
“Mr. Smith, I agree with your decision.”
I agree.
"agree!"
The hunters most likely to oppose were removed, and the remaining hunters were either extremely hostile to vampires or remained neutral.
Only then did Smith smile again, and he distributed the tasks of besieging the four princes' residences one by one. He himself went to a secret room in the back and, together with several top hunters who had not shown up for a long time, headed towards Xiyue City.
While still being jostled around in the carriage, Xiang Wan couldn't resist the urge to drag Audra out, throw him on the ground, and stomp on him a few times.
After passing through the small town, the rest of the road was lined with trees on both sides, so no creature would suddenly run into the middle of the road. She could easily travel by teleporting. But, as if he were asleep, Audra pressed tightly against her chest, sucking her blood. After he was full, he fell asleep again, occasionally smacking his lips, which made Xiang Wan's heart ache.
Simon and his companions, who were following her, hung upside down around the canopy of the carriage, their bloodshot eyes staring straight at her as if she were a monster, as if they were afraid she might do something to Audra.
She couldn't move or talk freely, but her stomach was growling, which was a physiological issue and she couldn't blame herself.
Xiang Wan deliberately increased the speed of the Frost Technique within her body several times to digest the food in her stomach. Then she circulated the Three Pure Ones Scripture, focusing her spiritual energy on her stomach and squeezing it until she could make a sound.
It made one or two noises, but Audra didn't react; it was probably just pretending.
The incessant buzzing was the first to bother Xiang Wan, especially the bat clinging to his chest. The sound was amplified several times over, disturbing his peace.
Sure enough, a moment later, Audra suddenly emerged from Xiang Wan's collar and sat down opposite her.
He looked so lazy, like he had just woken up, that it made Xiang Wan's teeth ache.
"Humans are so fragile, yet they live so comfortably."
Audra's sudden remark suggests he may not realize that he himself was transformed from a human.
Having kept quiet the whole way, Xiang Wan noticed that Audra seemed to be in a good mood and finally said, "Shut up!"
After training her for over a month, it's time to see the results.
Xiang Wan sat casually on the cushions, leaning back slightly. One leg was bent at the knee and rested against the carriage partition, while the other leg rested relaxed on the footstool. Her left hand was slightly bent, with her elbow resting on the armrest, while her other hand rested on her thigh, her index finger gently raised and lowered. Her gaze was slightly somber, and her face behind the mask was expressionless.
This is the personality that Xiang Wan deduced from the character Audra imitated when he trained her. Based on this personality, her little actions are very much in line with this person's habits.
Simon and the other bats opened and closed their wings for a moment, then folded them tightly, making no further sound. They saw that Audra's eyes remained fixed on the evening sky, seemingly unperturbed.
"Traveling at night, there's not much scenery. Do you like it?"
What exactly is his relationship with this person that Audra would care whether he likes to travel at night?
Xiang Wan remained silent and did not respond.
If you don't know something, it's best not to speak and just pretend you didn't hear it.
"Or do you prefer the daytime to the night?"
"boring!"
Audra was just making conversation out of nothing. If this person were human, why wouldn't he like daytime?
"That's what you told me back then. Like you, I just want to keep the light."
To Xiang Wan, Audra's lament was nothing but pointless whining. A vampire yearning for light? That's suicide! Xiang Wan didn't believe it.
"Don't go looking for trouble."
