Kanzaki Lake.
starry night.
The lake water that has been nourished by the "Heart of God" is more sparkling and radiant at night than during the day, as if it is competing with the beautiful night sky dotted with stars.
The night wind blew through the lake, and the ripples spread slowly until they reached a small boat moored in the center of the lake and touched the girl's hand on the boat, which dropped from the edge of the boat to the lake.
The girl caressed the lake, and the lake reflected the girl's face.
At this moment, Liz has been released from the vampire state, her hair has returned to golden color, and her eyes have returned to their normal green color.
Only the slightly melancholy girl sighed and bared her teeth deliberately from time to time. Through the reflection of the lake water, you could vaguely see a pair of sharp little tiger teeth hidden in the corners of Liz's mouth.
This is something that never existed before and cannot disappear under normal conditions.
However, this did not make the girl scary. On the contrary, in the normal state, the vampire fangs in a contracted state made Liz even more adorable.
The original cold and arrogant young lady's temperament has been reduced a lot, and replaced by a fierce and cute little adult who seems to have still had her baby teeth.
The only pity is that.
At this moment, under the moon, on the sacred lake, the beautiful picture of the girl in the boat can only be appreciated by one person.
but...
Rather than admiring it, Liao Zixuan now has a headache.
He looked at the girl sitting opposite him, looking forlorn and lost, and rubbed his temples.
"Liz, don't be like this, make it seem like you will never see each other again. Xiao Hei and Vivian are just going to the Thousand Islands in neighboring countries."
Liao Zixuan continued to comfort:
"I've seen the map. Thousand Islands are not far from Yanyu. It can be reached by boat in three days."
"Furthermore, since the God of Fire sent them there, for such a big thing, they must have said hello to the God of Water. What's more, I heard that the God of Water and our God of Fire are sisters! Something happened to my sister. As a sister, How could they not lend a helping hand? After they arrive at Thousand Islands, they will definitely have a smooth journey!"
"Calculating it from the inside out, it will only take a month for them to come back smoothly." Liao Zixuan raised a finger and said confidently.
Liz, who was on the other side of the boat, withdrew her hand from rippling the lake water at Liao Zixuan's words. After the girl moved her eyes away from the lake, she stared at the young man sitting opposite her in the same boat with her.
After stopping several times to speak, Liz finally made up her mind and asked:
"how about you?"
"I..." Liao Zixuan sounded longer.
"As Xiao Hei's elder, it is impossible for me not to follow such a big thing. Liz, you don't know. In our Dark Flame Wolf Clan, Xiao Hei is the only one. He was just born and is so young. Ignorant and unaware of the dangers of the world, and paired with a little girl who is also not very smart, if something happens to her, we, the Dark Flame Wolf Clan, will be completely wiped out!"
Liao Zixuan spoke vividly and burst into tears, thinking that he had fully played the role of a kind elder who was conscientious and concerned about his juniors.
However, what he got was the girl's chuckle at first, but soon it changed back to the original heavy sigh.
Just when Liz's strange expression, which alternated between clear and dark, made Liao Zixuan a little confused.
The girl suddenly said:
"Bai, now I understand why Shirley didn't refute what I said."
"That sentence?" Liao Zixuan asked curiously.
Liz nodded, her eyes drifted melancholy to the lake again, and the girl said softly:
"I said, there can be no consequences between humans and monsters."
"Well..."
Liao Zixuan was about to say something, but he was preempted by the girl opposite.
Liz raised her head, seeming to be looking up at the vast starry sky, and also seemed to be looking towards the future.
"Actually, when I heard you say that you were Xiao Hei's elder and not a human being, my first reaction was not shock, but...surprise."
Liz murmured in memory and gave her own explanation.
"Ever since I chose to inherit my mother's bloodline and changed from a human to a vampire, I have felt inferior, worried, and even more afraid that you will dislike my identity. Even if you don't mind, as I told Shirley, In other words, I am actually speaking to myself.”
"So, after knowing that you are not human, well... although it's not a good thing to say, I instantly felt that the psychological burden on me was much lighter. It was probably similar to... finally being a match. Isn’t it like forbidden love?”
This was the first time that Liao Zixuan heard Liz confiding her heart to him, and he realized that the young lady who looked noble on the surface actually had no less thoughts about those little women in her heart than others.
Not only that.
It's not Liz's style to be coy and coy. When it comes to playing straight, this eldest lady is stronger than anyone else.
"So... Bai, tell me, will the child we give birth to be a human, a wolf, or... a vampire?" Liz frowned, as if she was really thinking about this very seriously. question.
And the young man sitting opposite the girl...
"Ahem! Uh...yes, are you thinking too far ahead?"
Liao Zixuan almost choked. After coughing, he said quickly:
"Also, regarding the relationship between us, is it also..."
"oh?"
Liz raised her voice and interrupted Liao Zixuan directly.
She didn't say she showed any angry expression. This kind of rank was too low, and it didn't suit her as an earl's daughter who had experienced the "aristocratic battlefield" for a long time.
The girl just touched her belly sadly, and then said to herself:
"After leaving your blood in someone else's body, you have to cut off your relationship with them. It turns out that everything is destined. Am I going to follow my father's old path..."
Liao Zixuan: "..."
Can you please stop saying things that are easily misunderstood?
"That's just blood-sucking! After absorbing my blood, your vampire's ability will automatically be purified and the blood will be converted into energy, which is completely different from... and blood!"
Liao Zixuan also tried to explain and clarify for himself.
But Liz snorted.
Because the girl’s real killer move is yet to come.
She seemed not to have heard Liao Zixuan's excuse, and still stroked her belly and said to herself:
"But it doesn't matter. If he really dares to do this, then I will go to Vivian and tell her everything her little black has done to me, so that Vivian can understand it clearly. She held it in her arms What is the true face of that little wolf cub!"
Liao Zixuan: "..."
This time he was really silent, looking at the girl opposite him with a teasing look on his face.
"you..."
Just as Liao Zixuan was about to say something, the ship shook.
It turned out that the girl came to his side, and then stretched out a slender finger and put it on Liao Zixuan's lips.
"Forget it, it's our last night. Time is precious. I don't want to waste it listening to your sophistry. That kind of lie will probably only fool Vivian, who doesn't understand anything."
As she said that, Liz showed sympathy and helplessness to the naive little girl who was still in the dark. Then, as if she wanted to block Liao Zixuan, this eldest lady gave her sharp testimony one after another without mercy. And out.
"I have already had doubts about Shirley's name to you. But after Vivian suddenly appeared and saw your reaction to her, I was already more than 50% convinced in my heart. , when you were forced to reveal your identity by Vivian, combined with Shirley's reaction next to you, I was basically 90% sure. As for the last 10%...since you came to see me tonight, it was already It proves everything.”
"So, am I right, Master Bai? Or would you rather I call you...Xiao Hei?"
The girl looked with satisfaction at the young man whose eyes were evasive and a little at a loss under her sharp attack.
Liz was like a queen returning in triumph and began to enjoy the fruits of victory.
Without any resistance, she successfully lay down in Liao Zixuan's arms. She even had time to find a comfortable position to lie down in Liao Zixuan's arms.
[When your words have the upper hand, your flesh must be submissive; when your flesh has the upper hand, your words must be soft. 】
The above is from Liz's "Aristocratic Cultivation of Women: How to Hold a Man to a Tight"
"You know, the night you rescued me from my father who turned into a monster, I had a long, long dream."
Leaning against Liao Zixuan's broad and thick chest, feeling her whole body being enveloped in warmth, Liz seemed to dare to tell the next vague nightmare that she didn't want to talk about.
"In my dream, I also dreamed about Vivian, and I dreamed that she was also accused by me of being the murderer of my father. But in the dream, I was not saved by you, but was occupied by the monster's father. So this is a flat out false accusation."
"In the dream, not only did the city guards plaster Vivian's portraits all over the streets, but the Vulcan Cult was also dispatched. Damir personally led the team, and even the treasure stealing group also joined. Among them, because of the generous reward offered by the nobles."
"I dreamed that Vivian's relatives were arrested to force her to show up. At that time, Vivian was far less powerful than we are in reality, and she didn't have you around her. It seemed that she was in my In the dream, it’s like you don’t exist.”
"In order to save her relatives, Vivian fell into a trap knowing that it was a trap. She was caught without any accident. She was named a witch by me at the time and executed at the stake. I watched helplessly as she was tied up. On the pillar, her whole body was poured with burning oil, and the fire drowned her thin body..."
The more Liz spoke, the more trembling her tone became. She hugged Liao Zixuan tightly, with fear in her eyes, as if it was not a dream, but real, another reality.
"But at this time, a person that no one expected appeared. It was the maid, yes, Alina. I dreamed that she was holding a reagent syringe and threw herself into the blazing fire. She waited until she came back to her senses. After arriving...the only ones left were Vivian who had truly become a witch, and...the body of Alina that was scorched by the fire and was beyond recognition in Vivian's arms."
Liz raised her head.
The girl's eyes were filled with tears at some point.
Her hand touched Liao Zixuan's cheek.
"So, Xiao Hei, thank you very much. I think if it weren't for you, maybe my nightmare would really become a reality. I...I..."
"Thank you for saving Vivian and... me."
Liz, who said this, really wanted to put her lips close to the young man's lips, but the girl still tried her best to restrain this thought.
It's not that she is shy. Liz has never been so shy when it comes to relationships. She just considers that the young man in front of her is no longer "white" who only belongs to her, but Xiao Hei.
Therefore, lying in her arms like this was the limit, and she would not allow herself to do anything else.
At least...
This is Liz's bottom line principle before getting the consent of a certain little girl.
After thinking about this.
Liz shook her head and put the nightmare behind her. Dreams are still dreams after all, and reality is still beautiful, isn't it?
The girl stood up from Liao Zixuan's arms.
The moonlight shone on Liz's body, and the light from Kanzaki Lake highlighted the girl's face.
Liz crossed her arms, as if she had returned to the wealthy lady she had seen when Vivian held the wolf cub in her arms and entered the Earl's Castle for the first time.
"Don't worry here in Huodian City! Whether it's Alina, Red Flame Town, or...that stinky guy named "Shirley", I, Liz, hereby promise you that this eldest lady will , everything will be taken care of for you!"
"So, Xiao Hei, I also want you to promise me that you must help me take good care of Vivian! You will never let my best friend be bullied by others in Thousand Islands and suffer any harm!"
Under Liz's extremely serious words, Liao Zixuan also nodded seriously. From his body, there was a sense of confidence, self-confidence derived from strength.
"Okay, I promise, even if the water god wants to touch Vivian, I will dare to face the roaring waves."
Liao Zixuan stretched out a hand and made an oath. Although his tone was very flat, everyone could feel that there was no doubt hidden under the flat tone.
"Wait a minute! I haven't finished speaking yet!" Seeing that Liao Zixuan was about to put his hand down, Liz hurriedly stopped.
The girl spoke solemnly again:
"Just now, it was as Xiao Hei, but now, Bai, I also want you to promise me that you must...take care of yourself! Never let my beloved get hurt! I don't want to be a widow for the rest of my life! Again Bear one more debt of hatred!"
"...Okay, I also promise that I will come back well and come back...to see you." Liao Zixuan paused for a while and finally nodded.
After receiving this last promise, Liz was completely beaming with joy. A joyful smile bloomed on the girl's face, a joyful smile that had rarely appeared since the Earl's death.
But soon after, Liz suddenly started hesitating again, holding the hem of her skirt with both hands, with a slight blush on her face, but there was a sly look in her eyes.
"Bai, before we leave, can I...please make one more small wish?" Liz asked hopefully, as if she had made up her mind.
"Say it!" Liao Zixuan waved his hand.
As a result, I regretted it the next moment.
"I... want you to turn back into a little wolf cub for once in front of me!" Liz plucked up the courage to speak out.
That's it?
Liao Zixuan didn't notice the girl's intentions at first, until he turned into a wolf cub.
mua~
Liz has quick eyes and quick hands. She found the right opportunity and planned it for a long time. She picked up the little wolf cub and gave it a big kiss...
The girl's hair instantly turned pink and her pupils turned red. Before the little wolf cub, who was still a little dazed, could react, he activated his vampire ability, turned into blood mist, and ran away!
If only to this extent...
Vivian will definitely forgive her, definitely!
