"It's just like a friend of mine."
"Is that so?" Mu Qingyun looked up at him, a faint smile playing on her lips.
Xinuo looked at her, extended a hand, and performed a standard European greeting. "May I have the honor of inviting this beautiful lady to dance?"
Looking into Xinuo's eyes, she raised her chin and said, "It's my pleasure."
He took her hand, leaned down and kissed it gently, then led her to the center of the dance floor.
"I can't dance." She looked up and met Xinuo's gaze, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"It's alright, just follow me." He replied, taking her hand in one hand and putting his arm around her waist with the other, applying a little pressure as he led her to dance to the music.
There are two types of blood slaves. One type is not recognized by their masters, and that is the lowest and most despicable slave, who can be bullied and have their blood sucked by anyone.
Another type is the slave who is recognized by her master and travels with him. This type of slave has a very high status. At the very least, no one would dare to disrespect her unless they were of higher status than their master.
"Oh, isn't that Prince Ansester's slave? How come he's dancing with Duke Sino?" Prince Leicester made no attempt to hide his sarcasm, chuckling as he looked at Yin.
Upon hearing this, Yin turned his head and glanced over there, then smiled indifferently, "She can dance with whomever she wants; you guys are meddling more than I am."
I intended to disgust Yin, but I didn't expect Yin to be completely oblivious to it.
"Ha, the slave he granted immortality had his first dance snatched away by someone else. Tsk tsk tsk, I wonder if Duke Sinow doesn't take our Prince Ansester seriously." Prince Brauer chimed in, fearing the fire wasn't big enough, and poured a bucket of oil on it.
He didn't really care whether he was noticed or not, but he absolutely wouldn't allow his slaves to be stolen.
He downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, strode forward, grabbed Mu Qingyun's arm, and pulled her back into his embrace.
"My blood slave, from now on, your first dance can only be with me."
"..."
Staggered from the tug, Mu Qingyun frowned. She had finally regained some feeling, but this tug completely numb her.
"What, you're happy dancing with others, but you're all grumpy when you dance with me?"
"Perhaps you know what politeness is?" She looked up at Yin, a hint of impatience flashing in her eyes.
“It was impolite of him to take my slave away without my permission.”
Xinuo stood to the side, glancing at Mu Qingyun and then at Yin. But the music was still playing, and he was quite embarrassed without a companion.
However, if he were to seize her now, he wouldn't be afraid of Prince Ansetus, but he would worry that Ansetus might harm the beautiful woman and take his anger out on her.
"Master, let's go, we still have things to do."
Just then, Yi Beixuan stepped forward and respectfully bowed to him.
"Okay." Xinuo responded and turned to walk out with Yi Beixuan.
Mu Qingyun frowned as she watched Xinuo and Yi Beixuan leave. Yi Beixuan wasn't Su's friend, and he had been turned into a vampire. Should she save him as well?
"Dance with your master, don't get distracted." Yin gripped her hand and tightened his grip, and Mu Qingyun immediately snapped back to reality.
I need to find a way to get to know Yi Beixuan.
...
On the other side, as soon as they stepped out of the banquet hall, Yi Beixuan breathed a sigh of relief. "No, brother, are you crazy? Why are you dancing with that woman?"
“She looks familiar, like I’ve seen her somewhere before.” Xinuo turned and glanced at Yi Beixuan. “Don’t you think she looks familiar?”
“I don’t think so. I don’t remember anyone like her.” Yi Beixuan shook his head. He had no recollection of the woman at all. “But she was also turned into a vampire. Maybe we can rescue her while we’re at it.”
“Hmm, the initial embrace can be broken in a short time. So, try to strike up a conversation with her. I think she was probably forced into it too.” Xinuo frowned and said softly.
Yi Beixuan nodded upon hearing this, "Okay, I understand."
The two figures walked further and further away, and soon disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Inside the banquet hall, Yin probably didn't expect that Mu Qingyun couldn't dance. Unlike Xinuo, he didn't dance with a directional flair, so his feet were trampled on quite a few times.
"My blood slave, do you have some grievance against your master?" He spoke calmly, suppressing the anger in his heart.
“I can’t dance,” she said, looking down at her shoes that she had already dirtied, and shrugged innocently. “I can’t keep up with your speed.”
"OK."
He responded with a soft sound, and his pace indeed slowed down. He put his hand on her waist and began to follow her steps.
"Pfft, look at us, even our Prince Ansester can't dance anymore."
"Honestly, he calls himself the First Prince of Dracula. He's just a bit ruthless and strong, yet he acts all arrogant every day."
Prince Leicester and Prince Brower stared intently at Yin, searching for his mistakes, and immediately began to complain to those around them.
The others, lacking the status and position of a prince, naturally dared not speak out, and could only offer polite smiles, their faces full of embarrassment.
Their voices were soft, yet clearly audible. A smile played on his lips as he leaned closer to Mu Qingyun and whispered in her ear, "Here's the antidote. Now, throw a ball of fire over there."
"What if I just burn them to death?" She glanced lazily at the group of vampires huddled together whispering, her eyes filled with disgust and disdain.
It turns out that there are gossipy women among vampires too.
"It's alright. If anything happens, I'll cover for you. Just go ahead and do it." He secretly slipped a pill into her palm.
Very confident, huh?
She lowered her gaze, then naturally put the pill in her mouth from her palm.
The pill melted instantly upon entering her mouth, and its effects were rapid, restoring her strength and energy in an instant.
With a flash of red light on her right hand, she coldly glanced at the group of people, and with a flick of her finger, a ball of flame suddenly ignited behind them.
But those people still didn't notice and continued to laugh and talk happily.
"ah--"
Suddenly a scream rang out, and flames accidentally scorched one of the people's sleeves.
Vampires fear fire. With his scream, the other vampires were also frightened by the fire and began to scatter in all directions.
A perfectly good banquet was turned into chaos because of the fire.
Mu Qingyun originally intended to leave, but Yin suddenly gripped her waist tightly, saying, "Finish this dance."
"Hmph, aren't you afraid I'll burn your castle down with a single flame?" she said, as flames flew from her hand, igniting fire in every corner.
"You won't." Yin's smile remained unchanged as he grabbed her waist and spun her around. "Follow me closely. If you step on me again, I'll chain you up one of these days, so you won't hurt your master."
