"Lilith also said that the only one who can trap you is yourself. Why did you want to trap yourself in the underworld?"
"Why do you ask so many whys?" Barlow laughed and left his seat. When he came back, he had changed into clean clothes, a white shirt with the collar buttons unbuttoned. He sat next to Luo Youyou, adjusting his cuffs while thinking about how to answer Luo Youyou's questions.
The hall was illuminated by "sunlight", and the light sprinkled on Barlow's profile. His skin was crystal clear as if it could glow. He seemed to have gradually come out of the grief of losing Luo Yun, and the gloom of the entire hall dissipated a little. At this moment, he was wearing an ordinary white shirt, looking lazy, as if he had just woken up from a dream.
Luo Youyou was a little stunned, and was caught off guard by Barlow's slap on the forehead.
"Don't drool just looking at your father." Barlow straightened his cuffs.
Luo Youyou smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits. "Father is so handsome. If he were in the human world, he would have harmed so many innocent girls."
"How many innocent young people have you harmed in the human world?" Barlow asked with a smile.
"This is the first time I know that my father can joke." Luo Youyou greedily felt the warmth at the moment. In this situation, she looked like an ordinary father and daughter, basking in the sun and joking in the warm yard.
Barlow suddenly fell into deep thought. Before he met Luo Yun, he looked down on everyone, as if the words "Keep Out" were written on his cold face. Although his captivating face was the focus wherever he went, no one dared to approach him.
After being with Luo Yun, he seemed to have human emotions. Holding Luo Yun's hand, he traveled to every corner of the human world. They were like a couple wandering the world, doing justice and doing whatever they wanted. He learned to laugh.
He didn't care whether he had children or not, but Luo Yun did. Because of Luo Yun's care, he did all kinds of crazy things so that they could finally have their own child. It was a pity that this child was not blessed. It was a disaster in the heaven and a threat in the demon world.
He had to make a blood covenant with Satan, seal the power of the devil, and stay in the underworld as a vampire, never to go out again for the rest of his life.
Satan's promise is that all creatures from the demon world and the underworld will not be able to enter the human world without permission and pose a threat to Luo Yun and Luo Youyou.
"Let's go. It's been a long time since I've been to the human world."
Barlow suddenly blurted out something, making Luo Youyou think she was hallucinating. "What? Going to the human world? You can?"
"We can go out when the devil's seal is broken." Barlow pulled up his trouser legs, revealing a totem on his ankle that was exactly the same as Luo Youyou's. The vermilion Lycoris radiata and the dark rose were entangled around his ankle.
"Is it about me?"
Barlow nodded. After Luo Youyou's three souls merged, his seal was broken. The vampires must abide by the blood covenant, but the devil does not. After the devil's power returned to its place, nothing could bind him anymore, and no power could restrain him anymore.
…
When Luo Youyou appeared in the castle with Barlow's arm around her, everyone was petrified on the spot.
Everything was withered, and the cold air seeped into the castle through the cracks in the door, like a ghost attacking at night, penetrating every hole and making even the vampires shiver slightly.
The originally starry night sky was instantly surrounded by darkness. Thick clouds covered the sky and the sun, and the sky and the earth lost their color, leaving only endless darkness and coldness.
They knelt on one knee unconsciously and greeted Barlow with the highest etiquette of the vampire clan.
"Father, shouldn't you be a little more restrained?" Luo Youyou tugged at Barlow's clothes.
Barlow tilted his head slightly to glance at the sky. "I haven't been back for so long. I need to get used to it."
Barlow is different from Luo Youyou. Luo Youyou has the power of the blood key in her body, so she can come and go freely, but Barlow has to take the passage connecting the demon world and the human world.
Satan set up a barrier in the passage, and it took some time to break the barrier. In addition, the time in the demon world and the human world was different. When standing in the castle again, it was already a month after Luo Youyou left.
Although Yuri and Langbai were not standing far away, they felt very far away. Barlow's aura seemed to shake everyone away. Just standing there was like a powerful hand pushing people back.
I haven't seen Luo Youyou for more than a month. All the worries, anxieties and irritations disappeared the moment I saw Luo Youyou. It was just that they seemed to have an extra barrier, a mountain that could not be crossed.
They fidgeted restlessly and wanted to get closer, but their feet felt like they were filled with lead and they couldn't move.
"What's wrong with you? It's not like we haven't seen it before." Luo Youyou found their embarrassed look very funny and asked with a smile.
The two of them were speechless at the same time, and told her bluntly that Barlow's aura made it impossible to get close to him, which was too embarrassing.
Barlow's eyes swept across everyone's faces, cold and indifferent. Only when he looked at Wolf White did he show a hint of displeasure.
Lang Bai felt that Barlow was inexplicably dissatisfied with him, and he felt a little uneasy. However, he still pretended to be calm.
"Get up quickly, don't kneel anymore." Luo Youyou was not used to such a restrained atmosphere, so she ran over and pulled them up one by one.
Those who were originally sitting on the sofa all moved aside, respectfully leaving the best seat for Barlow.
Barlow was wearing a suit that matched well with humans. He didn't look like a man who had been trapped in the underworld for more than two thousand years. Instead, he looked more like a gentleman who had walked out of the writings of literati and poets. He was so perfect that he could only exist in heaven.
His aura repels everyone, except Luo Youyou, who doesn't feel such pressure and likes to stick to him.
Her long-cherished dream had unknowingly come true halfway. She held Barlow's arm like a spoiled child and sat beside him, resting her head on his shoulder.
Barlow's eyes only showed warmth when he kept his gaze on her.
The air was so quiet that only the whistling sound of the wind outside could be heard. Everyone in the castle held their breath and shivered slightly, not knowing whether it was because they were nervous or too cold.
Although Yue Shenxun seemed to still hold her chin high with pride, the timidity in her eyes betrayed her.
"Is this the kind of place you live in?" Barlow looked at the layout of the castle with some disgust.
Gayi is a rare person among the vampires who pursues quality of life. The furnishings in the castle are very exquisite, but at this moment he is despised by Barlow.
After Luo Youyou left, Jiayi was locked up in the storage room again. They gave him just enough blood to sustain his life, which made him drowsy all the time.
The invisible pressure brought by Barlow suddenly woke him up. He smelled the scent of Lycoris radiata released freely in the air and knew that an extraordinary person had arrived.
"It's great here, we have everything." Luo Youyou looked around and didn't think there was anything wrong. It was really hard when she was in Weiyu Village.
"I'm sorry to have wronged you."
