Su Chen was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
"The moment I pierced his chest, my mother's belongings fell out of his arms..." Arthur pulled a black feather from his pocket.
“My father told me that their meeting stemmed from a clichéd story of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress.”
When Arthur's father was young, he secretly left home, ostensibly to travel, but in reality, he was used to being controlled by his parents and wanted to seek his own life.
Reaching a cliff, they saw a large, jet-black bird clutching a woman.
Arthur's father was also a brave and righteous young man. He drew his bow and shot an arrow, bringing the bird down and saving the girl.
Who would have thought that as soon as he helped the girl up, she slapped him across the face.
"You killed my Little Black! I'll make you pay with your life!"
"Little Black?!" So it's a pet?
A tiny little thing keeping such a big pet? Can it even control it?
Before he could think any further, the girl pounced on him, her attacks viciously aimed at his vital points.
He had no choice but to retreat step by step, without retaliating.
"Hey, are you looking down on me by not fighting back?" the girl said angrily, stopping her attack.
"No... I never hit women," he quickly waved his hand to explain.
"Are you a hunter?" the girl suddenly asked, getting closer.
"Huh?" He was taken aback and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"You're the vampire hunter, aren't you?" the girl said with a nasty expression. "But why do I smell like a werewolf on you?"
He frowned, about to say something.
The girl interrupted him, "We're sworn enemies, aren't you going to make a move?"
"You...you're a vampire?!" he exclaimed in surprise.
The girl put her hands on her hips and said, "Doesn't it look like it?"
He shook his head.
"Hmph, how dare you insult me! Take this!"
...
They fought for a long time that day, and the two were evenly matched.
Few of his peers in the clan could defeat him, but this little vampire girl was his equal in strength.
He only used half his strength in the first two attacks, but she forced him to use ten times his strength later.
The two were so exhausted that they lay down on the sand and grinned at each other.
"Hey, isn't that amazing!"
"You're not bad either!"
The two became friends after a brief falling out.
Until one day, she walked up to him.
“My people want me to marry someone else, but I don’t like that person.” She murmured, “Let’s elope!”
"Elope?" He frowned.
"What? Don't want to elope? Then I'll find someone else." With that, the girl turned to leave.
He quickly stopped him, "I'm not... If possible, I would like to report to the clan elders and ask them to let me marry you."
She looked at him and shouted, "You're so naive! You think your clan's elders would let you marry a vampire? I'm being lenient by not locking you up and killing you!"
“Then…” he lowered his head, “I’m sorry to have to put you through this.”
"So...you've agreed?" She spun around excitedly.
“I’m not wronged. I’d be wronged if I married someone else.” She smiled and hugged him. “Let’s go to the human realm and live an anonymous life, like ordinary people.”
He smiled and pinched her cheek, then agreed, "Okay, let's live a normal life."
"You pinched my face!" The girl's eyes blazed with anger.
"What? I'll pinch you! Come back if you dare! Haha..." He laughed and ran away.
"Stop right there! Don't you dare move, Yuther!"
"Yiluo, come and chase me!"
...
Young love is often courageous, but most of it is worn down by the mundane realities of life, eroding even the last vestiges of affection.
However, Yuse and Ilo's love deepened over time, and they soon had a son.
But their good fortune didn't last long. When Arthur was eight years old, the Polidori family found Ilo.
Because of Ilo's destruction of the bloodline, he cruelly murdered Yuther in front of Arthur and Ilo.
Poor Yuther gladly accepted his death, unaware that the vampires would never spare his wife and children.
Ilo covered for Arthur, allowing his son to escape, while she herself went back with the vampires to be judged by their highest leader.
Arthur had always believed that his mother had died years ago, but he never expected that...
"Was it your mother who married into the Polidori family and gave birth to Benjamin?" Su Chen asked.
Arthur nodded. "It should be."
"So at the last moment, I didn't point the knife at his throat."
Su Chen thought to herself: This is strange. Didn't the system say that he killed the male lead? Since he wasn't seriously injured, who killed him?
Ding Dong:
Mission: Find the real killer of the male protagonist.
Points: 500
Duration: 10 days
Bonus: Permanent 99% pain reliever pills
Su Chen: "Wow, this bonus is pretty good!"
[Well, the main system has finally shown some mercy, so you'd better seize the opportunity!]
"Heh, there's definitely some huge trap waiting for me!" Su Chen didn't believe the main system was being so kind. "The little devil has grown up to be so powerful, yet he doesn't know who really killed his father. Do you think I can find out in ten days?"
The system reassured him: "Yes, we can follow the trail. The person behind Tommy is definitely the real big boss!"
"Do I need to tell you that?" Su Chen rolled her eyes. "The key is how to find it?"
"Does this mean we have to go find Lilith again?" Su Chen sighed. "She's Satan's lover now. Do we have to go to Hell to find her?"
Hmm, that's a possible solution.
"What a load of rubbish!" Su Chen couldn't help but curse. "Is that a place for mortals like us to go?"
"Sure," the system said, crossing its legs.
"Huh?" Su Chen's eyes widened.
"This is easy, just wait and see."
As she spoke, Su Chen felt as if she had been thrown into boiling water, and her whole body was about to melt.
When the temperature around her body cooled down a bit, Su Chen opened her eyes again and found that the scenery around her had changed drastically.
All around were black rocks and raging fire, with fiery red lava flowing between the rocks.
"Where is Lilith?" Su Chen turned around 360 degrees but didn't see a single person.
"[The first time in that ball of fire.]" The system popped up a pointer to show her.
Su Chen got angry. "Are you kidding me? Forget about jumping down, I'd be dead if my clothes even touched the fire!"
"No, that's an illusion, not real fire," the system explained.
Su Chen had no choice but to slowly move over and tentatively touch the flame with her hand.
"Huh? It's really not hot!"
"Now you believe me? Look at how naive you are!" the system said disdainfully.
"Okay, okay, I'll jump now." Su Chen said as she jumped down.
Who would have thought that the place where he jumped was right next to a large bed, where the woman was pretending to be asleep.
As soon as Su Chen landed, the woman opened her eyes.
Those eyes were devoid of sorrow or joy, yet possessed an unparalleled allure. Any man or woman who looked into them would likely find their legs weak and unable to move, until they collapsed to the ground in despair.
