Luo Youyou signaled the servant to bring a container, and she stretched out her long nails to cut her wrist. Blood immediately gushed out, which scared her. The servant was so frightened that he trembled and almost dropped the container to the ground.
She placed her wrist on the container, but the bright red blood only spurted out for a moment before the wound healed quickly. She looked at her wrist and nails in astonishment. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to tell that her nails were much harder than before and had a slight sheen.
"It should be that he absorbed his father's ability." Luo Youyou smiled slightly, "Let's go and try it first."
Mo Yu took the container containing a little blood and bowed to Luo Youyou.
"We're family, don't be so polite." Luo Youyou frowned slightly. She nodded heavily and disappeared into the castle.
Luo Yun's giggles echoed from the sky above the castle. Luo Youyou was startled. This was the first time she had heard Luo Yun laugh, and it was so bright and beautiful. She pushed open the castle gate and looked out at the night sky. Barlow was holding Luo Yun, soaring in the night sky, his black wings spreading out in an elegant arc. The bright white moon, the gauzy clouds, and the star-speckled night sky silhouetted their figures.
Even a couple of gods and goddesses could be like this.
"Wow! It's so beautiful!" Mu Yaxi hugged her arms to her chest and looked at the two people in the sky with envy.
Yin Zhan put his arm around her waist and said, "I can also take you flying."
Mu Yaxi rolled her eyes at him, "Flying? Flying is what people do when they have wings. What you have is just a roller coaster at best!"
Yin Zhan scratched his head, speechless. Who told his parents not to give him a pair of wings?
Luo Yun's chest rose and fell as she breathed heavily, her cheeks flushed. A smile seemed to be embedded on her face, like a blooming peach blossom, casting a pink hue on the entire night. Barlow looked at her dotingly, as if he wanted to hold her in his eyes and never let her go.
Luo Youyou stood in front of them, but they only had eyes for each other, making him seem redundant. It wasn't until they sat down on the sofa that Barlow slowly turned his gaze to Luo Youyou.
"Not everyone can drink my blood." Barlow had never spoken to Luo Youyou in such a harsh tone. Luo Youyou froze in place for a moment, not knowing what Barlow was referring to.
"Get your blood back," Barlow added.
"But... the Nofel tribe..."
"Your blood will only make them die faster." Barlow said impatiently.
Luo Youyou immediately understood and asked Canying to chase Moyu.
"What's wrong?" Luo Yun asked.
Barlow regained his gentle expression and patiently explained the whole story to Luo Yun.
Luo Yun curled his lips, "This Cheng Bang is too evil. He stole hundreds of years of other people's life for no reason. Mu Tou, we should enforce justice on behalf of heaven!"
Barlow scratched Luo Yun's nose and said, "Okay! Let's go tomorrow."
"Yes," Luo Yun nodded heavily, "No one from the Soul Devouring Sect can be left alive."
Luo Youyou's eyes widened in shock, staring at Luo Yun in disbelief. Why did this Luo Yun in front of her seem like someone she had never met before? The Luo Yun who always had a gloomy face, yet was so kind that he couldn't bear to step on even an ant, actually said, "I'm doing justice for Heaven"? And he wanted to spare no one.
To wipe out the Soul-Devouring Sect would cost the lives of hundreds of people.
Although Luo Youyou's heart became increasingly hardened, he was unwilling to indiscriminately kill everyone regardless of good or evil.
"Father, think again... Only the Soul Devourer can..."
"Don't be soft-hearted." Barlow interrupted Luo Youyou, "I want to rest." Then he pulled Luo Yun upstairs.
Luo Youyou felt a chill run down her spine. If her own blood couldn't cure the vampires' poison, then only the Soul Devourers could. If no Soul Devourers were left, the Nofel clan would be wiped out. While other clans wouldn't have as many poisoned as the Nofel clan, they would still be severely damaged, a fatal blow to the vampires.
Luo Youyou, Mu Yaxi, and Yin Zhan looked at each other. Mu Yaxi leaned close to Luo Youyou's ear and whispered, "Has your mother always been so cruel?"
Luo Youyou shook her head thoughtfully. She had never seen the Luo Yun of two thousand years ago, but she was certain that the Luo Yun of two thousand years later would not be a heartless or even ruthless person. Something was wrong... something was very wrong...
Luo Youyou began to recall every detail of Luo Yun's resurrection, her smile, her kindness, every word she said... It was Luo Yun, but also a little unlike Luo Yun. But she couldn't tell what was wrong.
But the most important thing right now wasn't Luo Yun, but the safety of the entire vampire clan. Barro was adamant; he was going to wipe out the Soul Devouring Clan tomorrow. No one from the Soul Devouring Clan would live to see the sunrise the day after tomorrow. The most important thing was to stabilize Barro and preserve the vampire clan.
Luo Youyou ran upstairs and knocked on the door.
Barlow didn't seem to want to open the door for her. But she didn't care about that and kept knocking until Barlow finally opened the door impatiently.
"Father, give me a few days, just a few days!" Luo Youyou looked at Barlow with firm eyes.
Barlow looked back at Luo Yun. Luo Yun thought for a moment and nodded. Barlow then said, "Three days."
"Seven days."
"Don't push your luck."
"Just seven days!" Luo Youyou mustered up her courage and met Barlow's gaze.
Barlow sighed and shook his head. How could he eat his own daughter?
"Thank you, father." Luo Youyou quickly closed the door, as if afraid that Barlow would go back on his word.
She gathered everyone in the living room, her face grim. "We only have seven days. If we can't get the Soul Devouring Faction to hand over the antidote within seven days, the Blood Clan will be severely weakened. If the Blood Clan is severely damaged, the werewolves will take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. Then, the Blood Clan will be in real danger."
"The Soul Devouring Sect won't hand over the antidote so easily. The Demon Lord doesn't care about the survival of the Blood Clan. The Soul Devouring Sect will be annihilated whether they hand it over or not. The antidote isn't a bargaining chip they can use to protect themselves. They'd probably be more than happy to see the Blood Clan buried with them." Jing Yan's expression was also solemn. "The person who tied the bell must untie it. Should we start with Luo Yun? If she changes her mind, the Demon Lord won't annihilate the Soul Devouring Sect."
"Yes, but why did she want to leave no one behind?" Xue Ren looked at Luo Youyou.
Luo Youyou shook her head. "I don't understand either. My father told me that they'd been roaming the martial arts world together two thousand years ago, doing justice. My mother said that the Soul Devourers had lived so long by stealing other people's lifespans, and that they all deserved to die. According to that logic, there's nothing wrong with wiping out the Soul Devourers, but I just feel like something's wrong."
"Isn't it Luo Yun who was resurrected?" Jing Yan finally exposed the problem that Luo Youyou had always been afraid to face.
"Father knows her best. He didn't have any suspicions, which means it must be her who was resurrected."
"A bystander sees more clearly. Perhaps the Demon Lord was overwhelmed by the joy of reunion."
