Chapter 763
Only those transformed into vampires through the act of ‘First Embrace’ are recognized as vampires.noveldrama
Because the empire shunned vampires, those who truly became vampires through the ‘First Embrace’ left the empire and moved to other places. The majority of vampires eventually moved to land, blending in among the common folk.
However, they also learned from experience — vampires now impose extremely strict regulations on the First Embrace, only turning those on the brink of death who still wish to live. They no longer haphazardly turn ordinary people into vampires. Otherwise, they will face severe punishment within their clan. Looking back on history, the vampires of today weren’t so detestable after all, even encapsulating a sense of life-saving benevolence.
Moreover, vampires have always been seeking ways to control their blood lust. With their tireless efforts, they finally developed a formula to suppress this desire and flaunted it in the empire, but refused to share it. This was probably because the empire always ostracized them, agitating them enough to withhold the formula even if they had it.
When the emperor passed away ten years ago, the imperial prince and princesses fought each other mercilessly for the throne. Even one of the heirs, Little Nine, got caught up in the power struggle. After many encounters with life and death, Little Nine lost her temper, killed all the other heirs, and was recognized by the Sacred Tree as the new queen. On that very day, the old vampire king happened to witness everything.
The old vampire king immediately announced that if the emperor’s daughter married his heir, he would give the blood-suppressing formula as a wedding gift. However, Little Nine didn’t want to ascend to the throne or marry the vampire heir. Supposedly, the vampire heir, too, didn’t wish to marry the queen. The two of them remained in a stalemate, leading to the present situation.
Now, the vampires are finally deciding to select a new heir, and we’ve managed to bring Little Nine back, meaning that the wedding plans are back in motion.
Poor Little Nine, being forced to marry someone she doesn’t love. A perfect couple is about to be torn apart!
Yen Anyue grows increasingly irritated as she thinks about it. She reaches out and fiercely twists Bai Xiao’s ear, “So, you claim you really don’t know? Don’t know at all? Quickly, where is the old vampire king? Speak! Or I’ll twist your ear off.”
“Show me some respect in front of others,” Bai Xiao whispers in persuasion.
“No! Not unless you reveal it!” Yen Anyue’s voice is louder than Bai Xiao’s.
The three men glance away from each other and pretend not to see the scene of a grown man getting a dressing-down.
But Bai Xiao is a man of principle. Concerning matters as significant as the welfare of the empire’s citizens, no compromises can be made.
“Mr. Bai, with all cards on the table, I am the first and foremost heir recognized by the elders of the vampire,” Night Lord Qing said, trying to rescue Bai Xiao. He continued, somewhat arrogantly, “So, I am not here to settle a score with the vampires but to facilitate this mutually beneficial event as soon as possible. If you are genuinely concerned about the people of your empire, you should help me make contact with the old king immediately.”
