"I want to talk to you."
Nie Dong said, approaching Liu Xian.
Liu Xian warily took a step back, then suddenly her eyes glazed over, and she walked towards Nie Dong as if her soul had been lost.
"Come~" A male voice drifted in the air.
The artificial bubble sound that others heard was, to Liu Xian, incredibly alluring at this moment.
How could an ordinary person resist his Moon Charm?
Be my servant obediently!
Nie Dong thought excitedly, about to embrace Liu Xian.
Suddenly, the shadows outside the streetlamp swayed.
Nie Dong, as a Vampire, was extremely sensitive to changes in darkness. Sensing something was wrong, he immediately spread his bony bat wings, flapped them fiercely, and flew into the sky.
The surrounding darkness grew thicker and thicker, even the crescent moon hanging high in the sky dimmed in the darkness.
"Who is it?!" Nie Dong bared his white fangs, roaring at the darkness.
At this moment, he was extremely terrified; darkness was originally his domain, but now he felt as if he had been abandoned by it.
"A little Vampire~"
An incredibly enchanting voice drifted from all directions, but Nie Dong covered his ears and frantically flapped his wings, fleeing towards the sky.
Nine Nether Queen in the shadows let out a silvery laugh, merely clenching her hand in the air, and Nie Dong plummeted from the sky.
He crashed to the ground with a "boom."
If he hadn't had a Vampire body, he would have been smashed into a pulp long ago.
Even so, Nie Dong fell into a coma due to the excessively powerful impact, and his bat wings were snapped off.
Nine Nether Queen sneered, grabbing Nie Dong from a distance, about to return and report to Jiang Yuan, but when her eyes swept over Liu Xian, who was still under the charm, she thought for a moment and took her along as well.
When the heavy darkness covering the night sky receded and moonlight once again bathed the old street, their traces were gone.
"Why hasn't older sister come back yet?" In an old house nearby, Liu Ru was waiting for her older sister Liu Xian to return, her eyes so sleepy they were about to close.
Thinking that her older sister hadn't returned yet, she quickly rubbed her face hard, perked up, and sat on the sofa, continuing to wait for Liu Xian to come home.
However, Liu Xian couldn't return today; at this moment, she and Nie Dong were both placed before Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan was very surprised by this.
"Why did you bring back a woman as well?"
"She was charmed by this Vampire. Because she isn't a mage, she couldn't resist the mental manipulation of her thoughts, and now she is completely charmed," Nine Nether Queen explained.
Nie Dong, disguised as Liu Xian's colleague, had been charming her invisibly every day. This kind of transformation of an ordinary person is very difficult to reverse.
"So, you brought her back to help her break the charm?" Jiang Yuan asked.
Jiang Yuan didn't think Nine Nether Queen was that kind-hearted, but there seemed to be no other possibility?
"No, I'm going to directly change her service target to the Great King."
"!"
No, what are you saying, Nine Nether Queen?
Why change the service target to me?
As soon as Jiang Yuan's shocked expression appeared, Nine Nether Queen smiled, "How can the Great King not have a maid by his side? Let her be your maid."
If Nine Nether Queen wasn't a spirit body and couldn't serve Jiang Yuan as a maid, she wouldn't have given such a good opportunity to Liu Xian.
"She's just an ordinary person," Jiang Yuan emphasized.
"It's fine, as long as she's converted into an Undead, she won't be an ordinary person," Nine Nether Queen said indifferently.
"No, converting into an Undead means experiencing Death once. It's hard to say whether she'll be able to control her bloodthirsty desires then."
Nine Nether Queen's gaze fell on the trembling Nie Dong beside her and she said, "We only need to turn her into a Vampire. Although I really dislike Western Undead, Vampires do have their unique aspects; they won't be as bloodthirsty as ordinary Undead."
Upon hearing this, Nie Dong immediately knelt respectfully on the ground, his voice trembling, "I am willing to offer the Vampire conversion ritual to the Adult!"
"Do you think I've lived this long and don't know the Vampire conversion ritual?" Nine Nether Queen said disdainfully.
Having lived for thousands of years, Nine Nether Queen had already specifically captured and researched some Vampires when they first entered the land of Hua Xia. She might not be clear about other things, but she was very clear about the conversion ritual.
Nie Dong became even more terrified, the blood in his body almost solidifying under Nine Nether Queen's cold gaze.
"Hypocritical!" Nine Nether Queen snorted, "These Vampires are the most hypocritical dark creatures I've ever seen. They spend all day looking for pure virgins as blood food, not knowing how many people they've harmed!"
"How many Vampires are there in China? And how many abroad?" Jiang Yuan suddenly asked.
Nie Dong cautiously looked up, and although the person in front of him seemed like an ordinary human, he still said respectfully, "There should be over a hundred thousand in China, and abroad, there should be several million in total."
"Hundreds of thousands, millions..."
Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment, then said to Nine Nether Queen, "Turn her into a Vampire, using my blood."
Nine Nether Queen didn't know why the Great King suddenly changed his mind, but this was exactly what she wanted, so she immediately excitedly pulled the dazed Liu Xian to the side to set up the conversion ritual.
Jiang Yuan, meanwhile, continued to question Nie Dong about how to restore his sense of taste.
Hundreds of years ago, Vampires also had little sense of taste when eating. Some Vampires even felt like they were chewing feces when eating human food, so they could only survive by drinking blood.
Later, through the research of a Vampire, the negative effect of not being able to eat human food was eliminated.
From then on, Vampires could live like normal people, but they still needed blood periodically to maintain their body's energy.
However, this research made it easier for Vampires to integrate into human society. During that period, the Vampire population surged, leading to a large-scale demon-hunting operation against Vampires in Europe.
It was also during this period that Vampires entered the land of Hua Xia.
As a descendant of these Vampires, Nie Dong naturally knew how to restore taste.
He told Jiang Yuan all the methods in detail, and after speaking, he expected Jiang Yuan to let him go.
But Jiang Yuan had no time for him; he eagerly went to restore his taste, leaving Nie Dong kneeling in place, not daring to move.
Before long, Jiang Yuan returned with a lollipop in his mouth, a very satisfied expression on his face.
Heaven help him, he finally had a normal person's sense of taste again!
Feeling the sweetness that bloomed on his lips and tongue, Jiang Yuan felt better than ever before.
Life is already hard enough; the pleasures of the palate are essential, otherwise, living would be too meaningless.
"I've finally 'lived' again!" Jiang Yuan exclaimed.
At this point, he ignored Nie Dong and went straight to the location of the conversion ritual, personally watching Liu Xian transform into a Vampire in the center of the ritual.
At the crucial last moment, the dazed Liu Xian suddenly rushed out of the ritual.
"Great King, let her drink blood!" Nine Nether Queen reminded him.
As her words fell, a soft red lip deeply imprinted itself on Jiang Yuan's neck.
Recently, writing has been so difficult; I feel the plot isn't coherent.
It seems I need to go through all the chapters again.
