"Eileen, I can't say this now," Qiao Li said with a wry smile. Even if Eileen hadn't betrayed him, Qiao Li still couldn't believe her.
"Okay, fine, I won't say anymore." Eileen didn't press the issue. She asked Qiao Li, "Qiao, are you going to keep hiding in my house?"
Qiao Li shook her head: "No, if we stay at your house the whole time, someone will find out."
Eileen said regretfully, "That's so pitiful. If they catch you, they'll definitely bully you." She rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Joe, I'll tell you a good place. Go hide there. I know it's safe there, and no one will bother you."
"Hmm? What place is that?" Qiao Li asked curiously. He wasn't powerful right now, and what he longed for most was a place where he could be protected.
“It’s a castle in our hometown,” Eileen said proudly. “I heard that a great woman lived there a long time ago, and she was the guardian deity of our family. However, she fell into a deep sleep several hundred years ago and has never woken up since, so the castle has been empty ever since.”
"A...vampire?" Qiao Li gasped. He had always thought they were just legendary creatures; he never expected to actually encounter one. Did such a thing really exist in that castle?
Eileen was displeased when she heard his description: "Hmph, what vampire? That sounds awful. Joe, you have to change it to say they are gods, adults."
Seeing Eileen's persistent attitude, Qiao Li had no choice but to change his tune as well.
In this world, vampires are not hated creatures. On the contrary, because of their powerful and mysterious abilities, they are generally respected and considered protectors of their respective regions.
Every powerful family is proud to have a vampire in charge. They enjoy this protection, and the younger members of the family provide fresh blood for the adults.
Such equivalent transactions are permitted under these world rules.
Eileen looked at Qiao Li and asked, "Qiao, which family are you from?"
“I…I have no family.” Qiao Li’s father was from another country, but his mother was born here. As for his mother, Qiao Li didn’t know much, only that the woman disappeared after giving birth to him, as if she had never existed in this world.
Eileen's eyes lit up: "Then why don't you join our family? My dad loves me so much, if I talk to him properly, he'll definitely agree."
"By the way, why don't you sneak off with us tomorrow? You'll be so happy to see that beautiful castle, and then you can live there all by yourself. Don't worry, Lady Amy has been asleep for so long, she certainly won't wake up at this time."
"Eileen, thank you." Qiao Li sincerely thanked her.
Looking at Qiao Li's excessively delicate face, Eileen couldn't help but blush. Although she was just a young girl, she had already watched quite a few TV dramas.
Looking at Qiao Li, who was more than ten years older than her, she had the thought that she would marry him when she grew up.
"Joe, I once heard a guest who came from afar say that a life-saving grace should be repaid with one's body. I even asked him what this meant. So, when I grow up, will you repay me with your body?"
Qiao Li patted her head: "Eileen, you're still young, you don't understand these things."
