Humans have many beliefs: some believe in gods, some in Buddha, some in money, but no one believes in themselves. Vampires are different. They believe only in strength. Only when they are strong can they survive in this world. In other words, they believe only in themselves. Blood bonds form clans, and alliances form factions. Aside from the special bond cultivated by the Nofel clan over millennia of mutual support, everyone else essentially forges their own camps, indifferent to their own kind. They have no sympathy for the weak, nor do they fear the strong. Beyond their primal lust for blood, their thirst for power is driven by a desire to enhance their abilities. All vampires seem to be constantly strengthening their abilities. Gayi is the only prince with a lust for power, and the only one known for scheming.
The position of Prince held little appeal to the vampires. During the Heretic Purge, the seven clans formed a secret alliance, a compromise reached by the clan elders for the survival of the vampires. The position of Prince was simply a matter of inconvenience, and they wanted someone to offer their counsel. The Heretic Purge was a massive purge of vampires by humans. While powerful, the vampires were far from tactical, relying on their strength to engage in reckless warfare, which led to numerous losses.
"Giving advice" wasn't the vampire's forte, and everyone shied away from the position of prince. Consequently, it was agreed that each prince's term would be limited to 100 years. While not short for the vampires, 100 years wasn't long either. The prince had to be a member of the Vandros, simply because they were the least capable at the time and had been "bullied." The prince's mission was to lead a group of vampires to infiltrate the human population and learn their political tactics.
Thousands of years have passed, and other clans still believe in and worship the powerful, and disdain human power tactics, but the temperament of the Fanzhuo clan has become more and more similar to that of humans. By the time of Jiayi, his desire for power is no less than that of humans, and he has mastered conspiracies and intrigues to perfection.
"Seize"—this decision was a very "vampire" one. But how to seize it was a dilemma for everyone. If those things were lying there openly, they could be taken, but now they were not only hidden, but also hidden by illusion. Just like the bone harp, even if its location was known, without someone who could break the illusion, it was impossible to take it away.
Luo Youyou put her hands under her head and stared at the ceiling blankly like Mu Yaxi, feeling at a loss for a moment. She wished she had been born in ancient times.
"Yuri." Luo Youyou called softly, and Yuri came over like a puff of smoke, pushing Mu Yaxi off the bed and occupying the seat next to Luo Youyou. He lay sideways beside her, supporting his head with one hand and restlessly stirring a bunch of her hair with the other hand.
"My little Youyou misses me?"
Mu Yaxi got up from the ground, glared at Yuri fiercely, and seeing their extremely ambiguous posture, he tactfully left.
"The bone harp is in Gayi's basement, but it can only be seen after the illusion is broken. You are so good at making magic mirrors, can you break this kind of deception?" Luo Youyou also turned sideways, supporting her head with one hand, not caring about her hair being ravaged by this "devil".
Yuri was stunned. "You called me here just for this?"
"Be serious." Serious face.
Luo Youyou's repulsive look didn't repel the rogue Yuri. Instead, he turned over and threw her down, pressing her under him, his whole body entwined with hers. His cold nose touched her slightly warm nose, and he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Give me a reward."
Ever since Luo Yun's accident, Yuri and Langbai had been as close to her as ever, but they had tacitly maintained a slight distance, clinging but not too close, fearing to cause her more trouble. But recently, things had been happening one after another, accidents one after another, leaving her no room to breathe, leaving her nerves constantly on edge. Yuri felt heartbroken, and having never experienced the complex emotions of a human, he didn't know what else to do to make her feel better, except to help her solve the practical problems.
This move was also recently learned from Mu Yaxi. Mu Yaxi told him that a woman's mind is blank only when she is thrown down. He understands the blankness as being able to let go of everything and not think about anything, so this scene happened.
It was Luo Youyou's turn to be stunned. What Mu Yaxi said was partly right. At this moment, Luo Youyou's mind was indeed blank.
She was too tired and suddenly didn't want to think about anything anymore.
Yuri didn't get pushed away as expected, but instead Luo Youyou put her arm around his waist. He could clearly feel her body, which had just been tense, suddenly relax. Luo Youyou tightened her arm around him and buried her face in his shoulder.
A feeling I'd never experienced before shot from my feet all the way to my head, like an electric current rapidly flowing through my body, and my heart was tugged at. It wasn't the joy of being actively embraced, but a sense of empathy, and even more so, a feeling of heartache.
Yuri rolled off her and settled into a more comfortable position, lying flat beside her. He held her tightly in his arms, letting her bury her head in the crook of his neck. Her unique, slightly warm breath gently tickled his neck. He still remembered her warm breath in the past, but now, she was almost as cold as he was.
His arms unconsciously tightened again, as if he wanted to warm her again.
"Do you want to suffocate me to death?" Luo Youyou's muffled voice sounded.
"How could I bear it?" The voice was so soft that only the two of them could hear it. Yuri could no longer control himself and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
Luo Youyou raised her head and met his kiss, as if she had been prepared for it. Waves of numbness blurred her eyes. She gradually closed her eyes and sucked gently, responding to his soft nibbles.
This was the first time Luo Youyou nestled in Yuri's arms like a docile cat, responding to his advances. He unconsciously made his movements even gentler, fearing he'd be pushed away again. And Luo Youyou responded cautiously, like a delicate human woman, her movements growing slower and slower, her breathing becoming heavier.
Yuri hadn't recovered from the sudden surprise yet when he found that Luo Youyou had stopped responding, but didn't push him away. He reluctantly left her lips and found that the little kitten had fallen asleep.
Yuri looked at her sleeping face, the blush still lingering, like a ripe peach, so juicy and tempting that he couldn't help but place another light kiss on it. Luo Youyou stirred restlessly, murmured, and fell back into a deep sleep. Yuri tried hard to suppress the restlessness surging in his body...
