She couldn't hide her tiredness. Fortunately, it was getting late, and her spirits were gradually lifted.
When her finger finally stopped on the black key, the sound of the last note lingered in the room for a few seconds before gradually dissipating. The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the thick curtains, leaving only a faint gray light.
Zhong Luoyue lowered her head, and from a half-awake state, she became completely awake.
Click — the light turned on.
The door opened, and Elizabeth, wearing a white dress, walked in barefoot with a basket in her hands.
"You're awake." Elizabeth smiled.
This was a woman that most men would flock to … if not for the fact that they were vampires.
She was like snow. Due to long-term malnutrition, Elizabeth looked like an albino patient. The hair on her body was almost completely white.
This characteristic had been fixed. Even after she broke her vows and drank fresh human blood, she still didn't get better … But in Zhong Luoyue's eyes, the white-haired and white-browed Elizabeth was so different, like a work of art. As a woman, she couldn't help but marvel at her extreme beauty.
Unlike the Middle Ages or even earlier times, white-haired and white-browed people weren't regarded as monsters, and some people with secondary interests loved them even more.
If Elizabeth's ears were sharper, she would probably be regarded as a real fairy on earth.
The last time she went back to the Zhong Family's mansion, she only met the young master of the Zhong Family once, but her brother still couldn't forget him … If it was before she went to South America, Zhong Luoyue might have acquiesced to this matter because of the family's stability and the competition between the two sons and one daughter of the Zhong Family, so that she could exchange more benefits from her brother.
But now that she had been turned into a vampire by The Embrace, she was no longer interested in the competition between the aristocratic families. Now she was only thinking about how to define the identity between a human and a vampire.
Maybe a hundred years or a hundred years later, she would laugh off her troubles … But she had only been a vampire for a few months, so how could she let go of everything at once?
She heard that the holder of the black card could find a mysterious place where he could buy anything he wanted … She wondered if he could buy back the identity of a human.
Over the past few months, Y'lisabet had spared no effort in teaching Zhong Luoyue many things about the vampire clan. This was basically what every vampire elder had to do for their descendants.
Unfortunately, Zhong Luoyue's elder had died in the underground palace of the God of Gamblers' manor, so the responsibility of teaching naturally fell on Elizabeth.
Thinking about becoming a human again, Zhong Luoyue couldn't help but feel discouraged … Because Elizabeth had already said that it was possible for a human to become a vampire, but it was impossible for a vampire to become a human again.
It was like a bird hatching from an egg. Once the bird hatched, it was impossible for it to turn back into an egg …
At that moment, Y'lisabet was taking out several bottles of different blood types from her basket … These were all rare blood types that Zhong Luoyue had secretly gathered from all over the country using his own wealth and influence.
Not long after, Elizabeth came in front of Zhong Luoyue with a crystal cup.
Zhong Luoyue, who was used to the smell of blood, resisted the instinctive display of vampire characteristics while slowly drinking the blood.
For vampires, Zhong Luoyue was like a newborn baby who needed to be taken care of … Zhong Luoyue always felt like she was being breastfed, while Elizabeth would urge her to drink enough blood for three meals a day.
"The taste seems a little different today."
After wiping the blood on her lips with a handkerchief, Zhong Luoyue felt that there seemed to be some subtle changes in her body.
Elizabeth smiled and said, "Because from today onwards, you can drink mixed blood appropriately. This is a modulation method passed down among vampire clans. Using two or more rare blood types to make it more similar to the effects of pure blood, and it can also reduce the toxicity of the rare blood types … The rare blood types that you asked people to find are of high purity, so before you complete the first transformation, you shouldn't need to use the first purification potion. Before the first transformation, the purification potion can maximize your body's potential. After the first transformation, you can at least become a noble. "
Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, Baron … Then there was vampire nobility.
Vampires who had just received The Embrace could only be considered newborns. They could only become true vampires after the first transformation. However, most of them were just commoners among vampires. After the second transformation, they could become vampire nobles. If they could become nobility after the first transformation, they could be called the elites of vampire clans.
Zhong Luoyue showed a sincere smile as she thought about the knowledge she had learned these days. It seemed that the emotional investment in Elizabeth was not in vain.
"But when you undergo the first transformation, it's best not to be here," Elizabeth suddenly said.
Zhong Luoyue nodded.
When she was still an ordinary person, she didn't feel anything, but recently, she felt more and more restless … The entire capital was everywhere, as if there was an air pressuring her, making her feel uncomfortable all over, as if she had fallen into a swamp.
This feeling was especially clear in the Zhong Family's mansion, and it was only slightly better after she moved to Fragrant Hill Resort.
According to what Y'lisabet had said, there seemed to be a super-large magic circle under the capital that contained an abnormally terrifying power … This power was even more powerful than the ancient magic circle that she had once participated in during the Sacred Blood Ceremony that was held every ten years by the thirteen vampire clans. Even the power contained in the ancient magic circle was incomparable to that of the Sacred Blood Ceremony that was held every ten years.
As for the gigantic magic circle hidden under the capital, it seemed to have the functions of scouting, suppressing evil, and so on … Therefore, even though they were already hiding in Fragrant Hill Resort, they still couldn't help but relax a little on normal days and try to restrain the vampire power in their bodies.
"I'm almost done with the arrangements." Zhong Luoyue held Elizabeth's hand and let her sit beside her. She whispered to her like a close friend, "We'll leave here in a few days. First, we'll go to the Aegean Sea, then directly to the UK."
Elizabeth blinked. During this time, she gradually learned about Zhong Luoyue's family and knew that the Zhong Family was one of the top families in the world. "But is it okay for you to leave like this?"
Zhong Luoyue smiled and said, "I graduated from a school in the UK. This time, the reason is that I want to go back to my alma mater to have a look and make some investments there. Besides, there's another event. This time, it's my family's turn to host it. If I hold the event in the UK, no one can say anything. "
"What event?" Elizabeth asked curiously.
Zhong Luoyue did not hide it, "The World Gambling Competition. Last time, the representative of my company won the championship. Therefore, according to the rules, this time, my company will be the host. "
Although Elizabeth often reduced her consumption by sleeping, every time she woke up, she would learn about the outside world, especially about the God of Gamblers, Tu Shenyi. After all, this was the key figure in the private production of 'True Blood' by the seven families.
"No wonder you want to go to Tu Shenyi." Elizabeth nodded, "Before he retired, he was recognized as the God of Gamblers. It seems that you originally planned to win this gambling competition again."
Zhong Luoyue said, "Tu Shenyi has retired and will not participate in any kind of competition. However, things like vows can be changed at any time. Plus, the place where Tu Shenyi retired happens to be the territory of one of my rivals. Even if I don't invite Tu Shenyi, she will invite him … "
Speaking of this, Zhong Luoyue shook her head. If she knew that this plan of inviting the God of Gamblers would make her inhuman in the end, Zhong Luoyue would definitely not go … Although becoming a vampire would have far more physical strength than humans, she was not unaware of her own situation.
What Elizabeth had told him about the size of the Thirteen Clans was enough to make Zhong Luoyue feel that she was in danger … Even though she had become powerful in the eyes of humans, there were many vampires who were more powerful than her in the vampire clans. Yet, such a powerful vampire still had to hide. This showed how fearful this powerful non-human clan was of humans.
She did not want to be the young lady of the top family in the human world. Instead, she wanted to become a newborn vampire among the vampires and become a 'servant' that a large number of adult vampires in the 13 clans could command. Why bother? Of course, she was unwilling …
Now that it had become a foregone conclusion, she could only plan for her own future.
As for Elizabeth, she could only be her guide in the beginning. After the initial stage, she had to consider whether it was worth continuing to invest in her.
From the moment Elizabeth finished talking about her life, Zhong Luoyue knew that Elizabeth was probably only at the level of a 'child' in the vampire world. Moreover, she was also outside the core of the 13 clans. At the same time, she was also very otaku. From the moment she was born until now, she spent most of her time in deep sleep. She had almost no friends in the vampire world. It was not an exaggeration to say that she fought alone …
"Your rival, is it the woman beside Brother Luoqiu?"
Zhong Luoyue was multitasking. She nodded while thinking about the future. "Actually, speaking of rivals, it can't be defined like this. It's just that there are more or less some conflicts in the business field. She and I are about the same age and graduated from the same alma mater. Many times, people will compare us. Rather than saying that it's fate, it's more appropriate to say that it's an ill-fated relationship. "
Elizabeth obviously did not care about this. She just lowered her head and said rather shyly, "I see … Then I don't know if Brother Luoqiu will come at that time …"
Her voice was very soft, like a whisper, but Zhong Luoyue could hear it. Since she heard it, she could not help but have a stomachache.
In front of that powerful force, she always felt that she was a real baby.
It's best not to …
…
…
After the worship, Ren Ziling drove Leng Feng to the hotel where he was staying.
That night, Sir Ma escaped from the painful hell of investigation and came to this small gathering with the potbellied Mrs. Ma.
There were not many people and they were all acquaintances. After Ma Houde and Leng Feng drank for a while, Ma Houde began to complain, causing Mrs. Ma to roll her eyes.
After the meal, Ma Houde was already drunk. Mrs. Ma was pregnant and inconvenient, so Ren Ziling could only send the two of them home first. Then, she let Luoqiu accompany Leng Feng back to the hotel.
She did not know if it was because the people who came from the army had a terrifying alcohol tolerance.
After returning to the hotel, Leng Feng acted as if nothing had happened. He directly pulled Luoqiu to the hotel's gym and began to grind the treadmill vigorously.
Leng Feng often led troops through cross-country physical training. He adjusted the speed of the treadmill to the advanced level and did not force it at all.
Luoqiu calculated the time and difficulty. He did not increase the speed. When he was about to run, he naturally stopped and ran completely with his ability, which was defined as 5.5. Not long after, he was sweating twice as much.
"Kid, your stamina is not bad. You ran with me for so long. Only a recruit who trained for half a year can do this!"
"I have to train more in the future." Luoqiu smiled slightly.
Leng Feng was actually quite satisfied. He felt that although Luoqiu was a little bookish, he did not look like an idiot. He worked out well.
"You go back first." Leng Feng wiped his sweat. "Just come over tomorrow. I have to meet an old friend later. It's not convenient for you to meet him."
"Okay." Luoqiu nodded and did not ask who it was. Then, he brought a glass of water for Leng Feng, said goodbye, and left the gym.
After Luoqiu left, Leng Feng continued to run on the treadmill.
Not long after, a man in his early thirties came onto the treadmill. He was wearing a suit, but he took off his suit and only wore a white shirt. He rolled up his sleeves and started running.
About an hour later, Leng Feng stopped and said unhappily, "I ran for half an hour first. If you run for another half an hour, I'll count it as your win."
The man on the treadmill turned off the treadmill and looked at Leng Feng with annoyance. "I've never seen someone as shameless as you."
Leng Feng laughed out loud. The two of them went to a corner of the gym and sat down.
There were not many people in a hotel gym like this. There were very few people around, so it was quiet. It was a good place for a conversation.
"How long will you be back this time?"
"Four or five days," Leng Feng said casually. "Oh right, did anyone look for you these few days?"
The man thought for a while and shook his head. "Are you talking about the woman with the surname Ren that you asked me to look after last time?"
Leng Feng said seriously, "That's my brother's widow. I only have one sister-in-law. I have a secret mission in a few days. I don't know how long I'll be gone. Anyway, you have nothing to do here …"
"What do you mean I have nothing to do?" The man laughed bitterly. "My brother went missing and the old man at home is angry. I can't live in peace."
