Yun Zhe was taken aback. These words stirred up a deep-seated anger within him, as if his heart was screaming, and a part of the vampire's memory had been activated by these words. This kind of situation had become very rare recently, and it was clear that the vampire had suffered a great loss by being barred from entering.
Yun Zhe scratched his head awkwardly. This conversation was going to fall apart. Wait, if vampires couldn't enter the elf territory, wouldn't this girl be unable to go home?
As if she could read Yun Zhe's thoughts, Akdina smoothed her hair and said softly, "My hometown is different, a place of exile, not protected by the gods."
Yun Zhe was even more embarrassed. He felt he should comfort Akdina at this moment, but he didn't know where to begin. Should he let her come with him? No, no, this girl had a deep-seated hatred for Ellie, and bringing such a beautiful elf along would be an unwise choice that would only invite trouble.
"Actually, I don't know where to go either. I'm completely lost. I wanted to leave here and travel freely, to different cities, different countries, and different continents. After all, vampires have long lifespans, so seeing and traveling more is much better than staying in this place."
Akdina's face was full of curiosity. "You don't like your current life either, but from what I've observed, you seem to be very popular, and everyone seems to like you..."
Yun Zhe blushed slightly, then looked at Akdina warily, "What do you mean by 'according to your observation'?"
Akdina realized she had said the wrong thing and hurriedly covered her mouth, her face turning slightly red.
"You've been following me?"
Akdina's gaze wandered, avoiding Yun Zhe's eyes.
“I’m so confused right now. I don’t know why I’m going to live…” Akdina didn’t answer and changed the subject.
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhe felt as if he had found a kindred spirit. He sat down and looked at Akdina, "You see, I seem to be quite popular. Although my life is miserable, it's still passable. Actually, I'm also very confused, just like I said earlier. I'm not sure if what I'm doing now is what I want. I'm also thinking about where I should go from here."
"Then why don't you leave here and go look around?" Akdina asked.
"It's a bit difficult. There are many people and many things here, so it's not easy to let go."
Akdina tilted her head; clearly, the answer troubled her somewhat.
"It's also possible that I just don't want to leave...who knows?" Yun Zhe shrugged and said awkwardly.
"When you want to leave, I'll go with you."
"Ah! This...you...you'll be in trouble if you follow me. You know you killed that female vampire hunter..." Yun Zhe's logic was incoherent, and his words became rambling.
Akdina seemed not to hear what Yun Zhe was saying. She went straight to the point, "Actually, when I'm too far away from you, I still think about dying, but I know I don't want to die anymore... Although the impulse is very strong, I really don't want to just take off the ring and walk into the sunlight..." Although Akdina still didn't look at Yun Zhe, her tone was unusually firm at this moment.
Yun Zhe found this situation very unusual; there must be something he had misunderstood or overlooked. What had he done to deserve this female elf vampire's constant companionship? Had he truly saved the vampire? Or was the girl simply fabricating a lie to stay with him? But judging from her words just now, she seemed very serious, not at all like she was making up a reason…
Just as Yun Zhe was at a loss, Akdina suddenly leaped up and tackled him to the ground with lightning speed. This unexpected pounce caused Yun Zhe to momentarily have inappropriate thoughts. However, before being tackled, Yun Zhe caught a glimpse of a dark figure deep in the forest out of the corner of his eye. This brought him back to reality from his rosy fantasies.
"Damn it, this place is so secluded, yet visitors keep coming one after another. And I haven't even discovered it yet!" Yun Zhe collapsed to the ground, beginning to doubt his judgment in choosing this location.
Immediately afterwards, Akdina was violently slammed into the ground, and then Yun Zhe saw two figures fighting fiercely in the woods.
Clearly, this person wasn't targeting Yun Zhe. But this conclusion only confused Yun Zhe more.
After several lightning-fast collisions, the two separated. Yun Zhe looked closely and realized that the person who had come was not an enemy, but the vampire Jerok who had just been transformed.
Akdina stared at Jerok in disbelief, then as if she understood something, she straightened up. "You're here for revenge?"
As the evening breeze blew, Akdina's long hair flowed in the wind, perfectly complementing her form-fitting white dress; she was truly a stunning beauty.
Jerok's eyes blazed with fury. While his transformation into a vampire wasn't entirely due to this particular vampire, it was nonetheless related. Moreover, he harbored a selfish motive: being a vampire meant being different from his human self, and he could see if he could avenge Tivia. Unfortunately, he had come with Yun Zhe at Ellie's behest; he was only there to protect Yun Zhe, so none of the weapons he carried were intended to combat vampires.
However, the previous collision left Jerok somewhat disappointed. His strength and speed were clearly inferior to this Pokémon. But this did not stop him from exchanging a few more blows with the Pokémon. So Jerok did not answer and was about to pounce on it again.
Yun Zhe leaped forward and grabbed him. He didn't want the two of them to start fighting. Jelock turned around and saw Yun Zhe's eyes.
"Dude, she's my savior. Forget about meeting the female vampire today, just forget about it."
Jerok froze, rooted to the spot, unable to move. Yun Zhe glanced at Akdina, who stood guard beside him, and helplessly spread his hands, "You see, it's really not safe for you to be with me..."
Akdina's bright eyes dimmed instantly.
"Akdina," Yun Zhe blocked Jerok's path, staring directly at the female elf vampire, "Although I don't know what happened, it's clear I've had a significant impact on you. But actually, you can still live very well without me. As for why you should live, everyone is thinking about that, and I'm quite confused too. But first you have to live to continue thinking and searching, right? So you must live on strongly. Whether you're by my side or not..." Yun Zhe spoke earnestly, thinking he was being very persuasive, but judging from Akdina's reaction, it seemed she wasn't quite what he expected.
Akdina's eyes looked the same as when she was being controlled. But even Yun Zhe could clearly see the disappointment deep within them.
