She was unwilling to harm vampires in exchange for her own survival; and after learning that her father's remains were not here, she wanted to leave to uncover the truth left behind by Kane.
Most importantly, she is...
She always cared deeply for the vampires, but she was powerless to help them.
There was nothing more that could be done.
...
At that moment, a shadow crossed Ludwig's eyes.
"Ah."
She turned and left, heading towards her bedroom.
"Her Majesty needs more time to think of a solution. She is very tired, Miss Ye, please take her to rest first."
"As for us... let's use this time while she rests to think about what to do next. After all, even if we stay here for a few days, we've only been outside for a short while. We have plenty of time to think..."
...
"No, I don't have time."
Yin Shang suddenly said out of the blue.
"The Vampire Queen has been 'thinking' here with Lingxi for over twenty years. I don't think she can come up with anything after knowing all this."
"Even if she understands now, she's just a dying person who can't do anything."
Ye Liuli glared at him: "Human, what brilliant ideas do you have?"
...
“Insightful? Of course not. I just feel there’s no need to waste time here with you all.”
He sighed coldly and pulled Solid away.
“Initially, I needed the vampires to fight against the Spire Group, which is why I came with you to meet the Vampire Queen. Fighting against the group is beneficial to both me and the vampires. The ‘cooperation’ I reached with Torre of the Council is nothing more than this kind of ‘mutual exploitation’.”
"When I learned that the Vampire Queen was terminally ill and that you couldn't come up with a reasonable solution, I felt there was no need to waste any more time here."
“I don’t care about the future of the vampires, but I do care that the vampires may once again be used by truly evil people, like the church before them, to wreak havoc on the whole world. This is not only a disaster for the vampires, but also a disaster for humanity and even the world.”
"Instead of wasting my time here, I'd rather go back to my old profession."
"Independent investigation group."
...
After saying that, Yin Shang grabbed Solid and left without a trace, all under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
"Oops... Oops?! I'm so sorry, everyone!"
Solid belatedly realized what had happened and apologized to the girls repeatedly.
"Brother Yin didn't intend to fall out with everyone! You can still contact him after you leave—"
"He... he just felt the atmosphere was too heavy, he couldn't stand it, he felt uncomfortable all over..."
Snapped!
Once exposed, Yin Shang slapped Solid on the head, forcibly turning her back into a golden kitten.
"Meow?!"
"Would it kill you to say less, you idiot?"
"Meow meow meow--"
Without saying a word, Yin Shang stuffed her into his pocket and then pushed open the door and left.
"Goodbye, ladies of the vampire clan."

The eternal sanctuary remains lush and green.
Another quiet night has arrived, and Yin Shang and Solid have been gone for "a day".
The girls who remained here tacitly avoided disturbing each other during this time, and when they happened to meet, they would only nod to each other.
Because they all need time to think...
Think about what to do next.
Without Queen Spirit Dweller and being completely estranged from Queen Hilliot, Lochina now has only Ludwig and Rucoco to rely on.
Since Yin Shang left, Ye Liuli had been staying in the temporary mourning hall of the princess. Uncontrollable sobs could be heard from inside from time to time, but the faint sobs would immediately disappear when someone passed by.
Meanwhile, Coco and Ludwig were sitting quietly together in the garden pavilion, the former having been watching the latter for a long time.
...
Ludwig looked up at the narrow strip of sky in the canyon, where starlight still shone through the confined space.
She seemed to be thinking about something, but there was no clue on her face; she just had a faint, ambiguous smile on her face.
At this moment, if Coco couldn't hold back any longer, she would ask:
"Young Miss, what should we do next?"
...
Ludwig looked at her: "Coco, do you have an idea?"
Coco shook her head.
She is similar to Solid in some ways; for example, they both prioritize listening to their master's opinions.
However, if Coco thinks Ludwig's idea is unreasonable, she will still object and debate with her again.
This is precisely what distinguishes her from Solid.
This time, however, she did not offer Ludwig advice as usual.
“Young mistress, as your servant, I cannot make this crucial decision for you. I believe you have a way to save the lost vampires…”
"...and us, lost and confused."
She looked at Ludwig with unwavering determination.
"While I don't know how much of what Princess Lingxi said is true, at least the reason she invited you here is—'to mediate for the vampire queen.' This mediation request is not actually over yet."
Upon hearing this, Ludwig smiled slightly.
“Well said, Coco.”
"Whatever decision I make, will you support me?"
If Coco paused for a moment, she would nod gently.
She didn't know why the young lady would ask that question.
After receiving Ruoke's approval, Ludwig breathed a sigh of relief, her blood-red eyes gradually glowing in the clear night.
“Coco is right. My decision is to complete this unfinished ‘mediation request’.”
"However, since no one is paying for this commission, I will personally collect the payment."
"And its reward is..."
The silver-haired girl smiled, her lips parting slightly in the moonlight. The brown-haired maid beside her, upon hearing the word "reward,"...
His eyes were filled with unbelievable terror.
...
...
...
Ye Liuli remained seated quietly in the mourning hall.
She didn't know when this torment would end.
“Lingxi…”
"Little Hilly doesn't want to live a life of humiliation using someone else's body..."
"And I never intended to harm Ludwig and Lochina in the first place."
"After what little Shirley said, I could no longer... I could no longer..."
She knelt beside the blonde girl's body, gently stroking her cold hands, and whispered softly.
"I am so tired."
"Lingxi, can you tell me what I need to do..."
Lost in confusion and pain, the black-haired girl was immersed in her own world. In a daze, she realized that the door to the makeshift funeral hall had been pushed open at some point.
Her expression quickly shifted from grief to terror.
"...Ah! No! This—"
She tried to get up and cover herself, but it was too late.
...
A silver-haired figure stood in front of the mourning hall, her face bearing a half-smile, an indescribable eeriness.
At that moment, she was pushing the wheelchair, allowing the person in the wheelchair who absolutely could not see this scene to take in everything in the mourning hall.
"What are you doing, Ludwig!"
Ye Liuli was furious.
"You actually let her—"
...
"Don't get excited, Xiao Li."
The vampire queen, confined to her wheelchair, cast her weak gaze toward Ye Liuli.
With just that one glance, Ye Liuli froze.
Because her eyes meant that she already knew everything—
“Even if my kin Ludwig didn’t tell me, I could guess most of it.”
queen
He spoke slowly, his weak tone revealing only numbness.
"You brought many strangers here to awaken me... but you missed Lingxi..."
"At the moment that awakens me, my one and only, will never be absent."
"Unless she has already left me."
...
Ye Liuli hesitated, wanting to say something; but she knew that it would be useless to say anything now.
After all, Siriot was a monster who had lived for thousands of years, so it was extremely easy for her to see through the clues in other people's actions.
Ye Liuli slumped into the chair, utterly dejected.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't protect her. If it had been me who went... this wouldn't have happened..."
"Who is it?" the vampire queen asked softly.
Ye Liuli replied: "Spear Group, Chess Group."
"..."
The vampire queen remained silent for a long time before giving a perfunctory reply.
"Ah."
"Let me be alone with her for a while."
...
