Li Jingjing's sudden call seemed to make Lin Ruoxi feel much better. After chatting for a while, she seemed to have agreed to something and hung up the phone with a smile.
Yang Cheng was a little surprised. How did Li Jingjing and Lin Ruoxi's relationship suddenly improve so much? Could it be that both of them liked volunteering at the orphanage and became the perfect bridge to become good friends?
Although he had deliberately drawn a line with Li Jingjing because of his relationship with Old Li and his wife, it wasn't appropriate for him to ask too much about the friendship between the two women.
"Miss, you look so happy. Which friend is it?" Mother Wang also hoped that Lin Ruoxi could walk out of the shadow in her heart as soon as possible, so she asked with a smile.
Lin Ruoxi nodded, "Yes, it's the teacher girl that I mentioned to Mother Wang last time. She asked me if she could come to our house tomorrow. It's the weekend, so I agreed."
Wang Ma seemed to have thought of something, she looked at Yang Chen with a strange smile, and said, "That's a good thing, I'll go buy more ingredients tomorrow."
Yang Cheng didn't understand why Mother Wang showed such an expression, but he didn't think much about it. He was just hesitating if he should go out tomorrow to avoid Li Jingjing.
But after thinking about it, avoiding her was not the right thing to do. It was obviously telling Li Jingjing that there was something wrong with him. It was better to be a stranger like last time. It was more direct.
The three of them drove back to the villa in Dragon Garden. Wang Ma busied herself with cooking in the kitchen. Lin Ruoxi seemed to be mentally and physically exhausted as well. She silently walked upstairs, but unlike usual, she walked straight to the bedroom instead of the study where she worked.
Yang Chen was considering sitting down to watch TV leisurely while waiting for lunch, but his phone suddenly vibrated.
Yang Cheng looked at the number. It was the captain of the Sea Eagles, Molin.
"Your Majesty Pluto, a lady came to us and wants to see you." Molin's tone was a little helpless, as if he had encountered some small trouble.
Yang Cheng was stunned. Someone wanted to see him, but they didn't come to him. Instead, they went to the Sea Eagles that he was hiding in Zhonghai. This was clearly a domineering approach.
"What's her name?" Yang Cheng asked with a frown.
"That lady didn't want to tell me her name. She said that you'd know her if you came," Molin grumbled over the phone.
Yang Cheng hung up and sat on the sofa for a while. He seemed to have guessed who it was.
Seeing that there were still three hours until lunchtime, she wasn't in a hurry, so she ran into the kitchen to inform Mother Wang and ran out the door again.
He drove to the apartment where the Sea Eagles were, and Molin was already waiting for him at the door.
Although it was winter, Molin wore a white short-sleeved shirt as he stood at the door. He didn't seem to feel cold at all.
"Don't you think it's weird to dress like this?" Yang Cheng said.
"Your Majesty Pluto, Hua Xia's winter isn't cold."
As a special forces soldier who operated in the Arctic Ocean all year round, he wouldn't be affected unless it was -20 degrees Celsius.
"I know it's not cold. You're not cold, and I'm not cold either. But as a normal person, you have to feel normal. If other residents see you dressed like this, they'd think you're crazy," Yang Cheng said.
Molin blinked and nodded with a smile, but he didn't seem to regret it.
With Molin leading the way, Yang Cheng arrived at the conference room on the top floor of the apartment. In the huge conference room, there was already a beautiful figure sitting alone, drinking coffee.
Yang Cheng directly told Molin to leave. Molin knew that the two definitely had something to discuss, so he tactfully excused himself.
Yang Cheng opened the door and walked into the conference room. After confirming who it was, he had a strange smile on his face. "Elder Lilith, why haven't you returned to Europe?"
The woman who had come was Lilith, whom he had just parted with last night. It wasn't strange at all that she could find her way here. After all, the Dark Parliament's intelligence network had been extended for more than ten centuries, and it truly covered the entire world.
At this moment, Lilith was wearing a casual beige wool sweater and a pair of tight-fitting light-colored jeans. Her blonde hair was draped behind her head, and she didn't have any makeup on her charming face. Her naturally beautiful, delicate, and white skin appeared even more dazzling under the sunlight.
For a member of the Blood Race at Lilith's level, the sunlight could only limit a little of her strength.
Lilith didn't directly answer Yang Cheng's greeting question. Instead, she continued to sit on the leather chair by the window, enjoying the warm sunlight shining in through the window.
"It's been a long time since I've been able to bask in the sun so easily, Your Majesty Pluto. In Europe, I wouldn't dare to go out and bask in the sun so openly. The people from the Roman Curia are too annoying, even more annoying than a follower," Lilith complained.
Yang Cheng wasn't surprised that Lilith knew his identity. With her intelligence, she should have figured out who he was last night. He pulled a chair over and sat next to Lilith. Glancing sideways, he could see Lilith's voluptuous breasts and the delicate contours of her face.
While staring with slight appreciation, he said, "Ordinary people must think that the Blood Race is afraid of the sun and hates garlic, but a member of the Blood Race like Miss Lilith definitely wouldn't care at all."
Lilith smiled and said, "That's something that only some rich young masters are afraid of. Let me tell you a secret, Your Majesty Pluto. I like to eat garlic flavored potato chips the most, but my family hates the taste, so I always eat it secretly at home."
Yang Cheng felt that it was a little weird to discuss food with this female vampire, so he changed the topic and asked, "Do you want to drink? I can get someone to bring some good wine up."
"No need, I rejected it just now." Lilith turned her head and looked at Yang Cheng. "Your Majesty Pluto, aren't you going to ask why I came to find you?"
"I think that's something you should be in a hurry to say. After all, the longer you stay here, the more dangerous it is for you to be targeted by the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade. They seem to have reached a certain consensus with the Curia. Although your strength isn't bad, if you're surrounded by many people, you won't be a match. "Yang Cheng said.
Lilith said confidently, "Your Majesty Pluto doesn't have to worry about this. I still have enough strength. With the few people from the Curia in Hua Xia, it would still be difficult for them to join forces with the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade to deal with me."
Yang Cheng suddenly had a question. "Miss Lilith, may I ask which generation of the Blood Race are you?"
Lilith had a strange smile on her face. "The fourth generation. Why? Is this worth paying attention to?"
Yang Cheng's face turned pale and he pouted. "As far as I know, the third generation of the Blood Race is known as the golden generation that can stand shoulder to shoulder with God. But that's the Blood Race from more than ten centuries ago. Miss Lilith, I suddenly regret kissing you last night. According to the time, the fourth generation of you isn't young anymore. I was wondering why you became an elder at such a young age. Looks like you have a technique to preserve your youth. "
Lilith laughed so hard that her back was bent on the leather chair. "Although I'm the fourth generation, I'm a noble pure-blooded Blood Race. My mother gave birth to me through childbirth. So, I'm actually only over two hundred years old. I'm still very young. "
Over two hundred years old … Still very young …
Yang Cheng touched his face and regretted asking too much. That kiss last night was two centuries long! But he couldn't help but ask curiously, "So the Blood Race can reproduce like humans? I didn't know that before. "
"Yes, but the more powerful the Blood Race is, the more difficult it is to reproduce. Also, that method will greatly reduce the strength of the Blood Race, especially the females. My mother wouldn't have given birth to me without my father's protection, "Lilith explained.
"Even if the strength of the third generation of the Blood Race is reduced, I don't think any enemies would dare to attack them." Yang Cheng chuckled.
Lilith's eyes glittered. "Although my parents' generation is known as the generation that stands shoulder to shoulder with God, as Your Excellency Pluto, you should know very well that there's still an insurmountable distance between them and God. Even our ancestor, Cain, was only a demigod. "
This time, Yang Cheng was slightly moved and narrowed his eyes. "Miss Lilith, it seems that you know something about God."
Lilith said a little proudly, "I inherited my mother's bloodline. My mother is a pure descendant of the 'Night Witch'. Our ancestor, the Witch Lilith, is the wife of the Demon God, Satan."
Yang Cheng knocked on the armrest with one of his fingers and said, "No wonder. If that's the case, you do have a reason to come into contact with that aspect."
"Yes, that's why when Elder Mobses mysteriously disappeared last night, although the others didn't know what happened, I've seen many scrolls that have been passed down in the family, which recorded some information about the Gods. Plus, your appearance and your angry reaction, I could roughly guess some of it. "Lilith didn't smile cheekily this time. What she said was obviously very serious.
Yang Cheng said calmly, "Your guess is more or less correct, but I'm still confused as to why this happened. It's definitely not done by someone I know."
"I know. That's why I'm here today, hoping to discuss something else with Your Excellency Pluto." Lilith smiled.
Yang Cheng gestured for her to continue.
"Your Excellency Pluto, as far as I know, you returned to Hua Xia for personal reasons. But there's one thing I'm sure of, you definitely don't want anyone to disturb your peaceful life. But like last night, Hua Xia didn't seem to be peaceful, especially when you're here. The protective umbrella of the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade is especially important. At least it can let you have no worries, "Lilith said," However, because of the Vatican's involvement, the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade seems to be standing on the opposite side of us. "
"What do you want to say? Just say it!" Yang Cheng said.
"We, the Camarilla, have always followed the treaty of seclusion, but those people from the Vatican don't seem to know how to cherish our tolerance. So, after a discussion in the Camarilla Elders Council, the chief judge has ruled to let me be the representative, hoping to form an alliance with Your Excellency Pluto. This is to prevent the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade from leaning towards the Vatican unscrupulously when there's a conflict of interest in the land in the East. "After Lilith finished speaking, she looked at Yang Cheng with anticipation.
Yang Cheng was silent for a while, then said, "I don't object to this matter, but Molin will be directly linked to you. I don't want to have too much contact with the Camarilla, after all, I live in this country."
"That's enough, we just need a form of deterrence," Lilith said in surprise.
Yang Cheng looked at the time, "Is there anything else? I'm going on a date with my family for dinner."
Lilith hesitated for a while, then asked, "Your Excellency Pluto, there's another question. Because it might be related to the safety of the Blood Clan, I'd like to confirm with you."
"You want to ask, was the mysterious disappearance of Mobses last night because of the Blood Clan itself, or because of the Holy Grail?" Yang Cheng asked.
"That's right, and that Holy Grail, can it really make people immortal?" Lilith asked the biggest doubt.
