Ji Rongzhen was shocked, as if she had just met her cousin for the first time. "You knew about this?"
When Lin Mengling talked about her boyfriend, her face was filled with shyness and tenderness. "Leo told me this when we met. He really loves me, even going so far as to break his family's rules."
Ji Rongzhen's face was dull. "Do you know that foreign vampires all suck human blood?"
Lin Mengling's expression was so calm that Ji Rongzhen couldn't understand. "I know. It's not his fault. He didn't want to do it. After knowing me, he never forced anyone. He even gave them money as compensation. He only chose people from poor families. He gave them a way out."
Judging from her expression, Ji Rongzhen was certain her cousin's words came from the heart. Her tone was even tinged with a pride she wasn't even aware of. Her love had touched the proud and aloof aristocracy. For a young woman, bringing the proud to her knees in love brought her a sense of accomplishment that was indescribable.
Their love is even more dazzling and pure than that in novels.
Ji Rongzhen felt something was wrong when he saw her expression, and his heart sank to the bottom.
Because her brother is Ji Jingyao, Ji Rongzhen occasionally meets Sister Shi Miao. Therefore, Ji Rongzhen knows more about this aspect than ordinary people, and has also dealt with the vampires in Country Z.
In the past, humans were just the vampires' favorite food. If it weren't for the fact that their numbers were far lower than humans, and if it weren't for the existence of the church and werewolves, they would have long since ruled the world.
The reason they kept a low profile and stopped wantonly capturing humans was because they feared the power of the Xuanmen of Country Z. They might, on a whim, have a dreamy romance with a human, but they would never treat ordinary people as equals.
Ji Rongzhen's mind unconsciously emerged with the words that Viscount Cavendish once said.
[You asked if a vampire would fall in love with an ordinary person? Well, the answer is obvious, isn't it? Would you truly fall in love with a cow or a sheep?]
Even I, if it weren't for my cultivation techniques that eliminate the need for blood, would find it hard to resist the sweet allure of tourists' blood. So if you encounter a vampire from abroad and they say they'll control themselves for you, they're lying. For beings like us, lying is as easy as drinking water.
In her eyes, Viscount Cavendish had always been kind and friendly to humans. But when he said this, a terrifying dark aura emanated from him.
"Vampires are truly dangerous, especially those from abroad. They lack self-control and indulge their desires. I'm worried something might happen to you." Because she was her cousin, Ji Rongzhen had a good relationship with her, so she continued to speak a few more words, even if it sounded like she was throwing cold water on someone else. But if she didn't speak up, and only spoke after something happened, she would never be able to live with her conscience.
Lin Mengling was obviously not happy to hear these words. The shyness on her face disappeared. She bit her lower lip lightly with her pearly teeth, her expression full of resistance. "Don't say that about him. You haven't met him and you don't understand him at all. He's not the cruel and cold-blooded vampire you imagine. I love him, and I am willing to believe him."
She had originally thought that she could still share her love with Ji Rongzhen, and that she thought that he would be truly happy for her and bless her. It seemed that she had thought too much.
Seeing her stubborn attitude, Ji Rongzhen felt a little troubled. "You two have known each other for too short a time. If you want to see him, you can meet him in China."
Lin Mengling pursed her lips and said nothing. Leo was a noble, holding considerable power within their family. How could she possibly allow him to stay in Country Z for her? The environment there wasn't friendly to vampires either. What if Leo accidentally ran into those metaphysical masters and was indiscriminately harmed by them? She wouldn't be so selfish as to keep Leo by her side. Leo was an eagle soaring in the sky.
Ji Rongzhen hesitated for a moment, and finally took out two talismans, "You should wear these two on your body."
She has done everything she should do and has lived up to her conscience.
Ji Rongzhen did not stay here any longer, but returned home.
After she left, Lin Mengling's mother, Yang Mu, walked in. Seeing her daughter staring blankly at the window, she quickly asked, "What are you thinking about? Why don't you invite Rong Zhen down for dinner?"
Although Yang Mu was resentful that Ji Rongzhen was unwilling to support their relatives, he was very clear about the benefits of maintaining a relationship with Ji Rongzhen. It just so happened that his daughter got along well with her, which made her feel at ease.
Lin Mengling hesitated for a moment, then repeated Ji Rongzhen's words, and finally said, "She strongly disapproves of me and Leo being together."
Yang Mu's face immediately fell. "You're not so foolish as to believe her nonsense, are you? I think she's just jealous of you because she saw you found a boyfriend with a good family background and who is deeply in love with you. She's deliberately trying to sow discord between you. She just can't stand seeing our family doing well. She wishes we would be dependent on her forever."
The more she spoke, the angrier she became, and the more she felt that she had hit the nail on the head with Ji Rongzhen. "She's so young, but she's so vicious."
"Look, there haven't been any reports of people dying from blood-sucking abroad. That proves what my future son-in-law said is true. The most a vampire can do is suck a little blood. Aristocrats like them, how could they not afford blood? Can't we monsters in our country also be celebrities?"
Lin Mengling's eyes were filled with disbelief. "Rong Zhen shouldn't be that kind of person. She might just be too worried about me."
Yang Mu shook his head, as if to say, "I've been through this, so listen to me." "You're too kind, kid. You're always unwilling to think the worst of others. If she really wanted to treat you well, she should have gone abroad with you. She's Ji Jingyao's sister. As long as those people abroad see her, for the sake of the Ji family, they won't dare to touch you."
