Xia Fuâs expression suddenly changed. He grabbed Ming Shu and rolled to the side. A loud explosion went off behind them.
Lai Si had decided to perish together.
He wanted Wei Xi dead.
He would not let other people have the things that he couldnât get.
They were blasted at continuously.
Ming Shu flipped her body so Xia Fu was below her. The blasts soon stopped and the entire garden was destroyed from the explosions.
Pa .
Little Beastie dropped out from Ming Shuâs pocket as though it were dead.
Ming Shu reached out and picked it up. âDonât play dead.â
Trash-picker, I am going to die soon anyway. I am still so small. This is child abuse, you know? Child abuse.
If I didnât help you block the attack, you would be a pile of debris now.
Complete Manchu-Han banquet!
I want a complete Manchu-Han banquet!
Little Beastie hummed and shouted. It was still very energetic. There was nothing wrong with it and it even seemed a bit excited.
Ming Shu stuffed it back into her pocket and looked at the person below her. âAre you dead?â
âEven if I die, it would be because I was squashed by you.â This was my chance. It would be great if I was heavily injured, but she suddenly protected me.
I am so angry I could die.
âWhy didnât I squash you to death!â Ming Shu picked herself up from beside him.
The moment she stood up, her head started to spin as though she was exhausted.
Xia Fu felt her body swaying and held her up. âDonât push yourself too hard. Now you know how it feels.â
âXia FuâŠâ Ming Shu called and then went silent. She took out a blood bag from her pocket and opened it with her teeth.
âWhat?â Xia Fu realized that something was wrong and immediately held her up.
Ming Shu felt her pocket and realized that there was no extra food left.
So hungry.
Little Beastie had disappeared too. It must have stolen her food and didnât dare to appear now.
Very well.
Most of the time, Little Beastie would be able to eat anything that she could eat. Hence, it wouldnât be strange if it had stolen her blood bags.
The smell of blood became stronger. Ming Shu swallowed and looked to the side.
Her lips touched warm liquid and blood seeped in between her teeth.
âDrink.â
Ming Shu resisted, but then she realized that she was attracted to the blood; it was even more attractive than Yuan Xiâs. Her logical side was weakening.
The delicious blood flowed down her dry throat.
Her swallowing caused Xia Fu to hug her tighter, naturally.
âŠ
Lai Si was dead.
Just as he said, the vampires didnât stop killing the humans after he died.
Ming Shu lost control of herself that day. She figured out what had happened after some time.
Lai Si used the power he duplicated from her to kill her, but the attack was blocked by Little Beastie. However, there were still some repercussions.
She made the vampires stop their attacks and then ran away quickly.
Everyone was busy controlling the situation.
As Ming Shu expected, humans could no longer accept vampires anymore.
The treaty was discarded and the vampire hunters and human army formed an alliance to get the vampires out of the humansâ territory.
Anyone who blocked their path would be killed.
Some angry humans even suggested annihilating the entire vampire race. This idea, surprisingly, got the support of many humans.
They accepted them, but in the end, this was the result they got.
Whether or not those vampires were controlled by somebody, they couldnât accept it at all.
The world outside was a mess, but there were not many troubles among the vampires. Some vampires escaped and Ming Shu didnât bother with them. The vampires didnât dare to create any trouble, either, and just stayed within their territory obediently.
âXiao Xi⊠my familyâŠâ Yuan Xi sat on the sofa with a nervous expression. â I need to go back to them.â And Si Luo.
Ming Shu was a bit unhappy. âIs my place not good enough?â
âXiao Xi, I am really thankful for your protection. HoweverâŠâ Yuan Xi picked her fingernails and bit her lips. âIâm a human.â
âDo you have to go?â
Yuan Xi gave a forced smile. âXiao Xi, weâll still be friends.â Even if the entire human race hated vampires, she would still be her friend.
Ming Shu felt pain in her heart for her little snack. She couldnât even bear to bite her. In the end, she waved to her. âLai Ang, send her off.â
âYes, my queen.â
Yuan Xi got up and hugged Ming Shu. She whispered in her ear, âXiao Xi, donât you still have Xia Fu by your side? You will be happy. Come and find me next time. Iâll invite you to⊠drink blood.â
Ming Shu flicked her hair. âYou can go now.â
Lucky Si Luo.
âYou really donât want to bite me?â
âGet away!â
Yuan Xi smiled happily and waved at Ming Shu. She left the vampires.
âMy queen, Xia Fu has been standing outside for a few days alreadyâŠâ Lai Ang sent Yuan Xi off and carefully reported this. âI think he will not be able to hold on any longer.â
Ming Shuâs gaze darkened and her smile was gone.
She could still remember the taste of his blood flowing across her mouth.
She was addicted to human blood.
There was no way she would lose control when she smelled Xia Fuâs blood. The only explanation was that she had drunk his blood before.
Xia Fu had touched her food before⊠That time at the hotel, he was really anxious.
It must have been at that timeâŠ
She didnât know how he covered up the smell of blood after that, but she was really addicted to it.
She didnât reply to Lai Ang and went back to her room.
Lai Ang sighed and looked outside.
The weather in the vampiresâ territory was always dark and cloudy. There was no sun in sight. Hence, it was super cold at night.
Xia Fu stood in the mist and was already frozen.
From the first time he mixed his blood into her food, he had predicted this outcome. He was lucky that she didnât kill him.
â Cough cough cough âŠâ
Xia Fu hugged his chest and started coughing. His head was heating up. He didnât know how long he could last.
He looked at the palace within the mist.
Someone walked toward him from the mist. Xia Fuâs vision started to blur.
âWei⊠XiâŠâ
Someone covered him with a warm cloak.
âŠ
When Xia Fu woke up, he realized that he was lying on a soft bed and there were roses all over the window. The room smelled very nice.
There was also an extravagant coffin placed within the room.
âYouâre awake?â
A vampire maid stood by his bed and looked at him with respect.
âThisâŠâ Xia Fuâs voice was hoarse. âWhere is this place?â
âThe queenâs chamber,â the vampire maid replied softly. âMy queen, Master Xia is awake.â
Xia Fuâs heart skipped a bit. He saw the girl slowly walking toward him; she wore that familiar smile on her face.
However, her words were not kind at all. âIf youâre awake, get off the bed. Are you very comfortable sleeping in my bed?â
Xia Fui immediately got up.
He just woke up and was still very weak. Hence, when he stood he tripped and fell right into Ming Shu.
Ming Shu didnât even reach out to hold him. Xia Fu hugged her weakly and managed to stand up straight with some effort.
He gritted his teeth and prepared to stand up himself. However, his waist was suddenly engulfed with a cold aura and the next moment, he fell onto the bed.
Ming Shu looked at the vampire maid. âWhen is the ceremony starting?â
The vampire maid replied obediently, âMy queen, there is still one more hour.â
Ming Shu turned back and glanced sideways at Xia Fu. âYou have one more hour to prepare.â
âPrepare⊠for what?â
Ming Shu didnât reply to him. She lifted her legs and left the chamber.
The vampire maid smiled. âMister Xia, congratulations. You are the first boy toy the queenâs ever had. You might even become her husband one day.â
What?
Boy toy?
Did I hear wrong?
Xia Fu felt that Ming Shu did this on purpose to get her revenge. She knew that he couldnât accept the status of a boy toy and that was why she made him one.
And she told the entire vampire population about it.
Humiliating!
I want to run away from my wedding!
To hell with the mission!
Iâm not doing this anymore!
Within the hour, Xia Fu was caught before he could run a few hundred meters. He was dressed up haphazardly and brought to the main hall.
Master Xia looked down hopelessly.
The red shirt looked glaring on him, but the girl on the throne was in her normal clothes.
Xia Fu suddenly felt a bit sad,
He was not sure why he felt this way.
[Lord Nine, I think you like her.]
I donât like her.
Xia Fu brainwashed himself into thinking that he didnât like her while he was brought up the platform by the maid and came to stand in front of the girl. He didnât raise his head to look at her.
Was she really planning to humiliate him like this?
Yeah, rightâŠ
He had treated her badly.
She should be angry.
âMy queen, do you really plan to have a human be the king?â The vampires below stared at Xia Fu with disdain.
âYou have an opinion?â Ming Shu raised her eyebrows.
âHe is a human.â The vampire raised the most important question. Humans and vampires could never again live together in peace.
âDo you want to be the king, then?â Ming Shu smiled.
The vampire shut up immediately.
Xia Fu was in a daze. He didnât hear their conversation at all. He only reacted when the vampire maid called him.
âKing, King, the queen is waiting for you.â
Xia Fu looked at her, stunned. âWhat did you call me?â
The vampire maid blinked. âKing.â
Xia Fu opened his mouth. âNot⊠boy toy?â
The vampire maid smiled. âWhy would a boy toy need a ceremony. Youâre so funny.â
She said it with such a serious face, as if the person who told him that Ming Shu wanted to keep him as a boy toy was not her at all.
Xia Fu looked up. The girl was still sitting there, but she was now wearing a red wedding dress.
WTF!?
Is she playing with me!
After that ceremony, Xia Fu asked Ming Shu, âWhy am I not a boy toy?â
Ming Shu looked at his neck. â I am very kind to my food.â
Food Xia wore an indifferent expression.
Where can you get a divorce among these vampires?
âŠ
During the night, Xia Fu woke up in pain. He glanced at the person beside him and wanted to kick her off the bed.
Instead, he stretched out his hand to make it easier for her.
âMy queen, donât you think it is a bit too much for you to bite me whenever youâre hungry?â
âIf not, what use do I have for you as a boy toy?â
âTo keep the bed warm.â
âNo need,â Ming Shu muttered.
âUghâŠâ Xia Fu groaned and hugged Ming Shu tighter. âMy⊠my queen, be gentler.â
Xia Fu felt a bit dizzy. The itchiness on his neck combined with her aura gave him a strange feeling.
Ming Shu licked Xia Fuâs neck and the wound immediately disappeared. She leaned forward and kissed Xia Fu.
Xia Fu felt hot and numb. His hands started acting naughty.
However, he knew when to stop. This was his reward for letting her bite him. If he crossed the line, he would be beaten.
Xia Fu felt wronged. There was no difference between a boy toy and food.
But he couldnât even be angry.
Ming Shu didnât always bite him. She would only bite him when she had a craving.
He was the one who fed her his blood and made her addicted to it. Hence, Xia Fu could only swallow down his emotions.
âMy queen. can you promise me that you will only drink my blood?â He was afraid that she would suddenly bring some âboy toysâ back one day.
âI donât really like human blood,â the girlâs voice sounded lightly in the darkness, âbut I am addicted to you.â
The last sentence was spoken really softly, but Xia Fu could still hear it because the room was so quiet.
He hugged Ming Shu and was very happy. Did this mean that she liked him?
He could almost see the light at the end of the tunnel.
âWhat are you happy for? Go and bathe.â Ming Shu kicked him.
âAre you not going to extinguish the fire you lit?â Xia Fu complained.
Ming Shu lay on the bed and smiled gently. âWhen did you ever hear of an arsonist putting out the fire he lit?â
ââŠâ
You make sense.
âŠ
The human world was still a mess. Ming Shu visited Yuan Xi once. She was living well with Si Luo.
Ming Shu didnât like her rival and had an altercation with Si Luo when she was about to leave.
âYou already have someone beside you. Why are you still eyeing her?â Si Luo was pissed off.
Ming Shu looked at the cold-faced young man standing not away and smiled. âThis does not prevent me from liking my little snack.â
âCrazy,â Si Luo scolded her and teleported to Yuan Xiâs side. He didnât care about her opposition and forcefully brought her away.
After that, Ming Shu never stepped out of the vampire realm again.
That day, Ming Shu was discussing whether vampires should start farming or become bandits with Lai Ang, when Xia Fu came in wearing a T-shirt and sat beside Ming Shu.
Ming Shu glanced at his neck a few times.
Xia Fu checked his clothes and then realized his mistake. He immediately changed and covered his neck.
Ming Shu laughed softly and moved her gaze away.
Lai Ang spoke a few more words and then left. Xia Fu waited for him to leave before moving toward Ming Shu. âI want to see the sun.â
He had not seen the sun for a long time and felt uncomfortable.
âDonât you have legs? Go yourself.â Ming Shu glanced at him.
âItâs so messy outside. How can you ask me to go by myself?â Xia Fu was unwilling.
Ming Shu threw the blanket beside her at him. âWho dares to attack the young lord of the Xia family?â
âFrom the day I chose you, I was no longer the young lord of the Xia family.â Xia Fu hugged the blanket. âXia Yin probably wants to kill me now.â
âJust as well. I can find another one when youâre killed.â
âHow dare you!â
âWhy not? I am the queen!â
âYou canât!â
âYouâŠâ
âXia Fu!â
Ming Shu shouted angrily and Lai Ang, who was outside, shivered.
The king dug his own grave again.
âŠ
Ming Shu returned to the Cloud Room and kept quiet for a long time.
How did she die this time?
Oh right, she tripped!
As Queen of the Vampires, she tripped and died!
Couldnât they put more effort into her death?
Ming Shu was reminded of Xia Fu. She died too suddenly and didnât manage to tell Xia Fu what she wanted to say.
[There was some foreshadowing. When Lai Si died, you were injured. When the vampires find you, they will realize that you had tripped and triggered your old injury.]
Hehe!
She still tripped and died.
The Harmony System shut up and showed her her data.
Name: Ming Shu
Hatred Points: 90000
***: ****
Additional Task: Completed
Ming Shu raised her eyebrows slightly. She managed to get 40000 Hatred Points in this world.
Not bad!
It wonât be a dream to reach one million!
Ming Shuâs thoughts jumped. âCan the next restaurant be five stars?â
There was only one food in this world. I felt so hopeless.
