The vampire heiress is two-faced

Page 156

"B-but-"

"Do you dare disobey me, the Queen?"

"Okay... alright, Lulu."

...

Coco lowered her eyes.

"Why do you want me to become your family member? It won't do you any good, Lulu."

Ludwig pouted, "How can there be no benefit? If this is the case, then Coco can interact with me like before?"

Coco suddenly realized: "Before..."

Ludwig nodded: "Yes, before."

The silver-haired vampire queen took the hand of the brown-haired girl. At this moment, the queen was still the vampire girl she once was.

"I have lived a very long time, but the happy times were fleeting."

"Only during the time I lived with Coco did I have a confidante with whom I could talk about anything, a girl with whom I could entrust my life."

A tear glistened in the corner of her eye.

"If Yang Jin'er, the human, was my past life, then in this life as a vampire, I don't want to lose another girl who understands me best."

“Coco, I can answer your question from before... You said it wasn't worth showing this 'pretense' just for you…”

"No matter what I become, I am willing to only show this appearance in front of you, and be your 'Miss Ludwig' alone."

She smiled sweetly.

"And Coco, would you... be willing to be my maid, just like before?"

...

As Coco looked at the smiling girl before her, she closed her eyes, and scenes flashed through her mind—scenes of their time together at the villa in Chongchuan City, the bittersweet memories of their journey together...

Unlike Ludwig, she truly had no memories of her past. Despite being reunited with her family, she still couldn't find meaning in her existence or purpose in living in this world.

But perhaps she already had the answer, but just hadn't realized it.

She responded with a smile that said, "I've got the answer."

"I have become your familiar, Lulu. For you now, I am the only person in the world who can take care of you."

Ludwig remained smiling: "And the answer?"

If Coco paused for a moment, her cheeks would turn slightly red.

"me..."

"I wish..."

puff-

Before she could finish her barely audible words, Ludwig pounced on her.

"I knew it, Coco is the best."

The silver-haired girl licked the corner of her lips.

"Let's do something fun, shall we? Coco just drank my blood, now... it's my turn."

Coco's cheeks flushed red: "Your Majesty... Lulu! Hmm—"

Her mouth was immediately covered.

"Don't make a sound."

...

The two continued their passionate lovemaking, which lasted for hours and hours after hours...

...

After realizing what had happened, Torre spontaneously stood in front of the Queen's boudoir to prevent anyone from approaching, lest bystanders hear the sounds coming from inside...

"The Queen has been so busy these past few days, what's wrong with her sleeping a little longer? Go away!"

Of course, he would pretend not to see—and he had to pretend not to see Coco quietly throwing away a basket of sheets—while also having no idea what had happened behind the door for nearly ten hours.

Otherwise, losing a head would be a minor issue.

Chapter 173 Worry gets worse

boom!

After a series of urgent knocks, a black-haired vampire lady dressed in black impatiently kicked the door open.

The room was filled with a strong, pungent smell of alcohol, and bottles were scattered everywhere, some toppled over.

Yin Shang leaned against the wall and poured the half-empty bottle of red wine he was holding directly into his mouth. He was so drunk that his hands were out of control, and the spilled red wine almost stained his shirt red.

He was already a lightweight drinker, and now he was almost completely drunk.

He picked up another unopened bottle of red wine and was about to press the corkscrew on when Ye Liuli snatched the bottle away.

Snapped!

"What...what are you doing..."

Yin Shang refused to let go.

"Hiccup... Female vampire... No, don't get in my way..."

Bang! !

Ye Liuli immediately kicked him to the ground, causing the bottles scattered on the floor to clang loudly.

"Your friend died, and you're here acting like a drunkard? Huh?!"

Ignoring the man's strong smell of alcohol, she grabbed him by the collar.

"Look what you've done to your girlfriend!"

Solid sat on the edge of the bed, sobbing, watching Ye Liuli's violent behavior with helplessness. She did not step forward to stop it, because she thought that perhaps Yin Shang really needed to sober up.

Ye Liuli originally intended to ask Yin Shang why he was surrounded by the group, but she could smell a strong smell of alcohol at the door.

She already disliked alcohol, and the sight of this dejected and self-destructive knight immediately enraged her.

"Where did that church knight who spouted righteousness, brandished holy light, and refused to use vampire power even in death go?! Just like that? Just like that, he was defeated?!"

...

"What do you know!"

Fueled by alcohol, Yin Shang glared at her fearlessly.

"I couldn't even stop my buddy's death... Even if I succeeded in getting revenge on Capilison... what good would it do!"

“I killed…Solid…but she and her comrade whom I also killed…Reinhardt…became one…and survived…”

"I've put myself in grave danger countless times... but because I've become half-monster, I've escaped death countless times..."

"Hiccup... I can't always have... this kind of luck... and sure enough, karma has come back to bite me..."

"I insist on being a lone wolf... because I'm afraid."

Yin Shang, whose brain was numbed by alcohol and who was speaking incoherently, only had a moment of clarity in his mind when thinking about these things.

"I'm afraid that the people around me will die again and again because of me."

Under the influence of alcohol, Yin Shang's tear glands broke down, and his tears fell onto his clothes, which were stained red with wine, and then disappeared.

“Capilison... Father... Mother... and then the old car... It all started because of me, it's the bitter fruit of my actions…”

"Hiccup, if all the terrible consequences I've caused... not only can't I resolve them myself... but they'll continue to kill the people I care about..."

He shakily picked up a shard of a bottle and held it to his neck.

"I'd rather be dead—"

Snapped!

Ye Liuli gripped his wrist tightly, forcing him to lose his grip and let go.

"What did you just say? Your brother... and your parents, what... has it to do with you?"

Yin Shang cursed, "What's it to you... hiccup!"

Ye Liuli, unable to bear it any longer, shouted: "Enough!"

In the darkness, her eyes glowed with a bright red light. She pressed down on Yin Shang's head and bit down on his neck.

For a high-ranking vampire like her, reading memories by absorbing blood is not a difficult task.

"I'll come and see for myself."

"It's not just about finding out what you, the former eldest son of the group's president who's been living abroad, have been doing..."

"This will also allow me to better... target your symptoms and teach you a lesson."

This is her most proficient ability as the head of an intelligence agency: obtaining intelligence by directly sucking the target's blood to read their memories, which is far more efficient than prying them open through torture.

Although high-ranking vampires all possess similar abilities, in her hands, she can search for the desired memories in the minds of others with even greater precision...

A tragedy that occurred nearly ten years ago, a secret deeply hidden in Yin Shang's heart...

Thus, it transformed into a scroll, slowly unfolding before Ye Liuli's eyes.

...

...

...

Norris Spier, president of the world-renowned Spier Group, married an Asian woman and had two sons.

The outstanding eldest son, Yin Shang, was expected to succeed the family, while the second son, Capilison, who devoted himself to scientific research, was not entrusted with such a responsibility by Norris.

Norris knew that business was not his taciturn second son's forte; pursuing advanced studies and researching in the field of science was his life's goal.

This is why, at the age of 12, they embarked on completely different paths in life.

...

Due to a mismanagement by the school, Yin Shang, who was studying in Moscow, faced the first major turning point in his life.

Young Yin Shang got lost during a field trip. The outskirts of Moscow stretched out into an endless, snow-covered forest. Hungry and cold, Yin Shang's consciousness began to fade...

This snow trip, which nearly cost him his life, forever changed the course of his life.

He wandered aimlessly to a small hill, lost his footing, and fell into a cave amidst the sound of collapsing snow.

"Where...am I...?"

This place is covered in ice and snow all year round, and few people set foot here. Therefore, from a distance, this place is just an ordinary snowfield. Who would have thought that it would collapse as soon as you step on it?

Yin Shang looked back and saw that the entrance to the cave was buried under ice and snow. He took out a flashlight from his backpack; for now, he could only go deeper into the cave.

"The air here...cough cough...hopefully there's an exit ahead..."

Walking along the narrow, partially collapsed cave to its end, a long-abandoned camp came into view.

Thanks to the cold Siberian weather, the items in the camp were in remarkably good condition. If Yin Shang hadn't been observant, it would have been hard to tell that the camp was hundreds of years old.

"This wood...can still be used..."

Yin Shang trembled as he placed the wood in the campfire pit that had been extinguished for hundreds of years. He rummaged through his backpack for the props, but it seemed that he had forgotten to bring a lighter on this outing.

While you can't expect a child who's about to freeze to death to know not to light a fire in a confined space, if you don't light a fire now, he'll freeze to death first—why would he have to suffocate?

Just when he was at his wit's end and in despair, a golden light shone from the heavily buried campfire.

wow-

Something pushed aside the campfire and flew out!

"what!"

Yin Shang cried out in surprise and looked closely. The campfire was now burning with warm flames... and the thing that had flown out of it was now lying quietly on the ground.

The weathered two-handed greatsword now gleamed, radiating a warm and sacred light.

In a short while, it dimmed again. In the firelight, its original form was revealed to Yin Shang in its entirety—
