Xunmi's gaze was instantly diverted, her eyes sparkling as she stared at Qian Yuyou's hand, wishing she could grab it and examine it closely.
She herself is a magician, and it seems her husband's talent comes from the same source as hers.
I really want to have a competition and see who's better.
It seems her husband is definitely more impressive, since she's just a half-baked one.
"They're gone." Qian Yuyou pointed to one of the images.
Meanwhile, people began to appear on the other three, including vampires and hunters wielding silver spears.
Needless to say, judging from their posture, they are colluding together.
"This direction seems to be heading towards us."
After a thorough analysis of the geographical location, Xunmi expressed his approval.
Although her geography is terrible, her sense of direction is pretty good.
"Watch out!" You Jiuxiao, who had been playing a background role the whole time, shouted.
He had only turned his head slightly when he saw a shadow quickly appear not far from them.
He was ready to make a move, but the thing just flashed by.
Xunmi and Qianyu noticed the person approaching, but the person did not exude any murderous intent.
The two didn't act immediately; they waited until the person disappeared before Xunmi frowned.
What are these people up to? She's increasingly unable to understand them.
Qian Yuyou held Xunmi's hand and silently erected a barrier. "Let's go."
You Jiuxiao originally planned to leave with the two of them, but suddenly saw someone who shouldn't be there.
"Ci." The person lying under the tree in front, isn't that Nangong Ci who should be in Rose Castle?
Xunmi looked over at the sound, his brows furrowing even deeper.
He pulled Qian Yuyou around a corner and headed towards Nangong Ci.
You Jiuxiao had already picked up Nangong Ci, but as she turned around, she felt a sharp pain in her chest and coughed up blood.
"You...no...who are you?"
Qian Yuyou quickly retreated with Xunmi, but they were still a step too slow.
Suddenly, darkness enveloped them, swallowing all the light.
After an unknown amount of time, Xunmi opened her eyes, only to find it still pitch black.
She stretched her limbs, and the surrounding structure made her feel like she should be sleeping in a coffin.
Reaching out, I pushed open the lid on top, sat up, and sure enough, I was in a coffin.
And if she wasn't mistaken, this room was indeed her room.
Stepping out of the coffin, barefoot on the familiar carpet, I searched for a somewhat dazed and confused state of mind.
How did she end up here? The clothes she was wearing and the furnishings in the room seemed to tell her that everything was exactly the same as when she first arrived.
But she was clearly by the stream in the edge of the forest before, could it all have been a dream?
No, no, her lover, her friend, it wasn't a dream.
This is a dream, or rather, an illusion.
Wake up, wake up, she's going to find You.
Darkness descended again, but this time it didn't last long before Xunmi opened her eyes again.
The pale blue peach blossom eyes were cold as she looked at the place that had suddenly plunged into darkness.
It was still by that stream, and her lover was still holding her hand, looking at her with concern.
You Jiuxiao, however, had completely fallen into a deep sleep, with a large bloody hole in her chest.
Thankfully, his heart wasn't removed; otherwise, even a miracle couldn't have saved him.
Despite being a powerful race, vampires will die instantly if they lose their heart.
The notion that vampires are dead is both right and wrong.
Once someone becomes a vampire, their heartbeat becomes almost imperceptible, so ordinary people naturally wouldn't be able to detect it.
But approaching or disappearing doesn't mean it's nonexistent; the heart remains their most critical and fatal weakness.
"Yu, are you alright?" Xunmi let go of Qian Yuyou's hand and looked him up and down.
Only after confirming that he was alright did my anxiety subside.
Every world broadens her horizons.
"It's okay, don't worry, the one on the ground is more serious."
Qian Yuyou patted Xunmi's hand to comfort her.
"He is no longer fit to stay here. I will have someone send him away."
Xunmi took out a short flute from his waist and put it to his lips to play.
After five simple notes were uttered, Ryan and Larkin appeared before the group shortly afterward.
Xunmi handed You Jiuxiao over to them and went to the center of the forest with Qian Yuyou.
She now has a vague suspicion that there is a traitor among them.
No, to be precise, he was a spy.
Nangong Ci arrived at Rose Castle not long ago, and never went out during that time.
Even when she wasn't there, You Jiuxiao was, and Rose Castle was always kept completely under protection.
No one outside of the Rose Castle knew of Nangong Ci's existence.
Even the black-robed man who came a few days ago did not enter the castle.
Most importantly, there were only a handful of people who knew that Nangong Ci was their weakness.
And the only people in Rose Castle were this group; neither she nor her husband were.
Ryan believed that You Jiuxiao liked Nangong Ci and ruled out any suspicion.
Larkin is You Jiuxiao's man, so the chances of him betraying her are slim, but there's still a slight possibility.
Then only Prince Kross remained, who was also brought by You Jiuxiao.
The mystery in my mind kept expanding until it finally reached a breaking point.
As soon as you step into the center, an invisible magnetic field is activated.
Xunmi and Qianyu squeezed each other's hands as a reminder.
"Come out, I know you're all here."
Since she's already here, let's lay everything out at once, so she won't feel uncomfortable about it all the time.
Ye Zhiyi's figure emerged from behind the tree, still wearing that black bat mask.
She still wore a cross and two silver spears, which seemed to have become her trademark.
I didn't look closely that night, but today when I looked again, the woman's eyes were shockingly blood red.
The color represents the fallen, and I feel somewhat conflicted.
"Is Prince Burton planning to make us fight each other so that you'll benefit in the end?"
Stroking the short flute in her hand, her fair and delicate fingers against the translucent icy blue background became even more alluring and seductive.
The word "vampire" seems to have been created just for her—elegant, alluring, yet aloof.
Ye Zhiyi was taken aback, but immediately realized what was going on. She flashed forward and kicked Burton out from behind the tree.
Burton was furious; Ye Zhiyi was utterly useless and only caused more trouble than she was worth.
He would never have chosen to cooperate with her if he hadn't wanted to leverage her abilities.
The Fallen advance faster than the Vampires and are much stronger.
Because the Fallen cannot live without blood, which is the source of their power.
Although Burton had never been a slayer of blood, he did not wish to become a degenerate.
Those who fall will eventually lose their minds and become nothing more than blood-sucking beasts.
He wants to become the king of the whole world, how can he cut off his own path to survival?
Xunmi was enjoying Burton's angry expression and almost clapped his hands in delight.
