Yuri picked up Xiaozhuang by the waist and dodged the oncoming fire dragon, but the dragon seemed to have eyes and kept chasing him. The basement was large, but there were many things stored there. The storage cabinets were all made of wood, and the fire dragon did not catch fire when it passed by the cabinets and books.
In the firelight, Yuri saw a man standing at the door, whistling lowly and controlling a fire dragon. He had no smell on his body.
Xiaozhuang calmed herself and followed Yuri's steps, dodging the fire dragon's attack. Her actions had severely impacted Yuri, forcing him to drag her along, unable to proactively attack. A woman who held him back was unworthy of standing by Yuri's side. The aftereffects of her deep sleep hampered her agility. She had no choice but to push Yuri aside, and the two of them fought separately.
The fire dragon suddenly turned into two, two fire dragons and two figures, shuttling between the rows of lockers in the basement, stirring up gusts of wind and carrying suffocating heat waves, while the books on the lockers remained motionless.
In such a strong wind, the basement should have been in shambles long ago. The cabinets were filled with ancient vampire books, extremely valuable, as well as some vampire magic weapons. Destroying any of them would be a huge loss.
Yuri reached out his hand to explore the mystery, and found that each cabinet was enchanted. The feeling of the enchantment was exactly the same as when Mu Yaxi's room was on fire. In addition, this odorless man...
Yuri smiled wickedly. "They've been looking for him for ages, and he's right here in the middle of nowhere. Since he's come to them on his own initiative, it saves them the trouble of looking for him. Let's just deal with him all at once."
Yuri turned over and jumped onto a cabinet, knelt on one knee, supported himself with one hand, his eyes flashed with brilliance, staring at the man's eyes. The fire dragon behind him suddenly went out, and only a few sparks were left of the fire dragon in front of Xiaozhuang, and it disappeared in an instant.
The man was very determined, and he confronted Yuri with his eyes, preventing him from entering his thoughts. But soon, a trace of panic appeared in his eyes. He tried hard to steady his mind, and Yuri could feel his struggle.
Yuri could cast illusions without eye contact, having mastered them to perfection over six thousand years. Yet, the man before him, who looked no more than twenty-five or twenty-six, required his direct gaze, and he couldn't immediately defeat him. Having not faced an opponent in so many years, Yuri felt his blood boiling.
He relaxed a little, not wanting to end such an interesting battle so soon. He only used three levels of strength, wanting to see how long this man could hold on.
Yuri's combat-ready stance shifted to a cross-legged position, and he sat on the counter, looking down at him from above. The man's eyes were in a state of struggle. Illusions attack the mind. The more complex a person's mind, the easier it is to conquer. The richer their emotions, the easier it is to control them. Although this man was very powerful, he lost because of his intense hatred.
His defense didn't last long. Yuri only added a little spice to his illusion, and he fell into the quagmire of his own emotions. He covered his head in pain and muttered, "Why abandon us... Why abandon us... Why..."
Yuri gave Xiaozhuang a look, and the two of them swaggered past the man. Yuri felt that Xiaozhuang was blocking the way, so he kicked him and kicked him aside. The man rolled on the ground several times, seeming to be in more and more pain.
Xiaozhuang secretly looked back at him and suddenly felt sorry for him. While Yuri was far away, he quietly broke the illusion for him and ran out of his sight before he could recover.
"Vampires never pity the weak. Don't be too compassionate." Yuri's voice was a little cold, and his words had a hint of warning.
Xiaozhuang knew his tricks wouldn't escape Yuri's notice, but Yuri's voice chilled her to the bone. Back when they were "traveling the world" together, one casting illusions, the other breaking them, Xiaozhuang always messing with him, but he never got angry. It was just their little game, their joy. Now, everything had changed...
This man considered Mu Yaxi his mortal enemy, and he attacked him immediately. Yuri naturally showed no mercy. If Xiaozhuang didn't intervene, the man would die in agony, tortured to death by his own hatred. Anyone who dared to touch anyone close to Luo Youyou would be made to feel the wrath of the Freno people. Yuri could tolerate Xiaozhuang's usual troublemaking, but this man must die.
Yuri was planning to go back and finish this man off once and for all, when Xiaozhuang suddenly grabbed Yuri's arm, tears streaming down her face. "Yuri, can't we go back? Do you really not love me anymore? We..." Xiaozhuang was choked with sobs and sobbed with his head down.
"Do you need to find another place to solve the problem?" Luo Youyou suddenly appeared behind Yuri, her voice so cold as if she didn't know them.
Yuri heard the sound of something breaking in his heart, and suddenly shook off Xiaozhuang's hand, "Youyou, no..." He wanted to grab Luo Youyou's hand, but all he got was air, with the faint scent of Lycoris radiata lingering.
Luo Youyou's smell changes with her mood, and only Yuri can distinguish this change. When she is happy, the smell is very fresh. When she is angry, the freshness is mixed with a hint of earthy smell. When she is with him, the smell is very strong and full of charm. He understands this smell as the smell of love. Now, her smell is very light and cool, like a red spider lily blooming in ice and snow.
Even Yue Shenxun could not distinguish this subtle change. It was because he cared about it dozens or even hundreds of times more than others that he was sensitive enough to distinguish it.
Is it wrong to let Xiaozhuang wake up?
"Yuri..." Xiaozhuang's tears fell even more violently. Not daring to make a sound to anger him again, she tugged at the corner of Yuri's clothes carefully.
"Go back first." Yuri shook off Xiaozhuang's hand without leaving any trace. Xiaozhuang only saw a light and shadow, and Yuri had left her behind.
"He's very powerful." The man leaned against the wall and looked at Xiaozhuang with tears in her eyes.
Xiaozhuang was startled when she saw the man, then she held back her tears and looked at him warily. Without Yuri, she was no match for this man. The Freno people excelled in illusions, but she was a special case. She couldn't perform any illusions, only decipher them.
"You saved me, I won't do anything to you. Jiayi will be back soon, I advise you to leave quickly."
"You...why did you help me..."
"You are not my enemy."
"But you are from Jiayi."
"It's just what each of us needs."
