"What? You still want to have your cake and eat it too?" Lang Bai was full of provocation. Unlike previous quarrels and bickerings, a strong smell of gunpowder spread between the two people. The atmosphere that had just relaxed a little was immediately deadlocked again. It only took a little spark for the two people to fight to the death.
The tense atmosphere did not flare up. The next moment, Yuri smiled and made a gesture of invitation, "Help yourself."
Lang Bai put his arm around Luo Youyou's shoulders again and walked out with a swagger. Luo Youyou resisted the urge to look back, adjusted her pace, and followed Lang Bai's steps, but she didn't notice Yuri secretly clenching his fists, the veins on his fists bulging...
The night sky was dotted with stars, and a crescent moon hung obliquely in the dark blue sky, like a raised corner of a mouth. It was particularly dazzling to Luo Youyou, as if it was mocking her.
"Can't you see he's trying to piss you off on purpose?"
Luo Youyou remained silent. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, there was always a living woman standing there. Her innocent face, otherworldly temperament, and delicate appearance made it impossible to ignore her. Especially when she leaned weakly against Yuri, Yuri's lack of resistance was what really hurt her.
But she knew that she had no right to be sad. It was her indecision that led to the current situation. Everything she said seemed pale. She could not question because she had no right.
"If you mind, take him back." Lang Bai continued. He was actually encouraging the woman he wanted so badly to take another man back. He said it lightly, but only he knew the heaviness in his heart.
"Lang Bai, now is not the time to be sentimental. I just want to collect all the holy artifacts." Luo Youyou finally spoke. The current situation was complicated and confusing, so it would be better to just ignore it and concentrate on collecting all the holy artifacts and rescuing Luo Yun and Xue Ren. The rest can be discussed later.
Lang Bai didn't say anything else. As one of the parties involved, anything he said would only make the matter more obvious.
"Follow them closely, be careful not to get into trouble again." Seeing that they were getting farther and farther away from Fang Ziyu and Ni Tiantian, Lang Bai grabbed Luo Youyou and ran a few steps.
She had guessed it almost exactly from the state they'd been in when they returned last night. Bloodstained and in a state of disarray, they must have lost control and been severely punished by Yueshenxun. No matter how much Ni Tiantian held hostility towards her now, she wasn't her true enemy. Luo Youyou still wanted to return to the innocent beauty of their first meeting.
On summer nights, the earth still retained the warmth brought by the sun. Even if there was an occasional breeze, it was like a heat wave, making the vampires very uncomfortable. Such a temperature made the smell emitted by humans even stronger. Ni Tiantian and Fang Ziyu became even more confused under the stimulation of such temperature and smell. They began to feel restless before they even reached the densely populated area.
Luo Youyou's team had an unwritten rule, unspoken but adhered to because it was Luo Youyou's bottom line. In the city, they couldn't kill without permission; their dinner had to be the most heinous of crimes. Previously, under the Secret Party's management, they didn't have to hunt on their own. Jiayi had a deal with the Shuncheng police system, providing the Secret Party with executed prisoners. Lower-ranking vampires were required to hunt far from the city to avoid causing panic.
After breaking with the Camarilla, they had to fend for themselves every day, but they still adhered to the Camarilla's "seclusion" rules and Luo Youyou's bottom line. Fortunately, human taste is easy to distinguish, and the blood of good and bad people has a distinct smell. When bad people do bad things, the dopamine secreted in the brain not only affects a person's mood, but also changes the taste of the blood. They use this unique smell to distinguish.
Ni Tiantian and Fang Ziyu are different. Their noses can only distinguish between species, not individuals. Asking them to distinguish between good and bad people is more difficult than asking an elementary school student to do calculus.
At this moment, there was no rationality in their eyes, only a desire for blood. Yue Shenxun seemed nonchalant, but she was always on guard.
Yin Zhan stayed at home to accompany Mu Yaxi. Yuri had disappeared at this moment. The others did not dare to separate too far and were all moving around within a radius of one kilometer. Once Jiayi launched a sneak attack, they could take care of each other.
Yue Shenxun's two maids, one each grabbed Fang Ziyu and Ni Tiantian. They just struggled at first, but as the human smell became stronger, their struggle turned into a desperate struggle to break free. The maids didn't have that much strength, and they were broken free in a short while.
Ni Tiantian first found a target, a young man who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old. He was in the rebellious period of youth and had an unruly temperament. Humans like this had the strongest smell, and this was the smell that newborn vampires loved the most.
The young man saw a beautiful girl rushing towards him. He was delighted at first, but then he sensed danger and stared with fear. Before he could utter a word, Ni Tiantian bared her sharp fangs. Just as she was about to bite, Yue Shenxun suddenly slapped her and sent her flying. Ni Tiantian rolled several times before hitting the wall and coming to a stop.
"Waste!" Yue Shenxun didn't look at her, but squeezed out two words with contempt between her teeth, and then signaled the maid to hypnotize the boy.
Ni Tiantian covered his dislocated jaw with his hands, his eyes showing some meaning. He looked at Luo Youyou with grievance, got up from the ground, his body covered with dust.
Luo Youyou sighed and helped her put her jaw back together. "Tiantian, why don't you go to the Mokawi tribe's castle first and let the elders there take you. Come back after you learn how to control it."
Ni Tiantian desperately shook his head and grabbed Luo Youyou's arm tightly, "I won't go. I'm scared. They are all monsters. I want to be with you."
Lang Bai frowned. This weird woman was obviously full of hatred towards Luo Youyou, yet she clung to her like a dog-skin plaster. This contradiction made him feel uneasy.
Upon hearing this, Yue Shenxun immediately flew into a rage and kicked her away again, "Try saying that again."
Tears welled up in Ni Tiantian's eyes. She didn't dare to speak anymore. She just looked at Luo Youyou for help.
"Xun, she doesn't understand anything now. Can you be a little gentler, just a little..." Luo Youyou pleaded with Yueshen Xun, smiling ingratiatingly.
Yue Shenxun snorted coldly, "If you weren't so pretentious, things would be much easier."
In a word, Luo Youyou was completely defeated. She knew that Yue Shenxun was referring to her unwritten rule.
Before Ni Tiantian's problem was resolved, Luo Youyou's phone suddenly rang. It was Yin Zhan calling for help...
