Chapter 35: A Real Shura Field???

Luo Zichuan led Yu Liusu toward the lakeside where Chen Yuan waited.

Along the way they attracted many curious looks, and Luo Zichuan truly felt an inexplicable sense of superiority.

When they passed the crooked-neck tree, he noticed the way his roommate kept staring the whole time.

Nothing felt better than asking for a girl’s contact together with his bros and having the girl choose only him in the end.

What was that called? That was sheer “shi li”!

His looks had just been certified by a beauty!

From today on he was the most handsome guy in Room 250!

The record was verifiable!

Haters, speak up!

Anyone who dared mention looks in front of him again would have to hear about today’s achievement.

He would even pass this story on to his grandson someday!

Then the grandson could brag to other brats, “Your grandpa isn’t as handsome as mine.”

Even lying in his coffin he would wake up laughing.

Until…

He heard an unfriendly voice.

“Why do pretty girls always like ugly guys…”

Damn!

Rather than tremble in fear, Chen Yuan decided it was better to confess to Clovie first.

After all, she had arrived by teleportation as well, so she should understand him.

If he refused to do the missions, he would not survive either.

Clovie was sensible.

Hesitating, Chen Yuan slowly spoke. “Luo Wei, there’s something I need to tell you.”

“Mm, all right.” Clovie stood primly at his side and answered obediently.

Facing Chen Yuan’s sudden seriousness, she also adopted a solemn expression.

“I once traveled to your world—the Nix Kingdom,” Chen Yuan said seriously, frowning.

“Mm…” Clovie responded.

“I went there because I wanted to be reborn, and Heaven gave me a chance.”

“That chance… was… was…”

Chen Yuan still found it hard to continue.

Saying it felt as though all his previous efforts had been insincere.

In her world he had been frozen into an ice statue and ground to powder; in Yu’s world he had been nailed to a cross and burned alive.

Could anyone endure such pain for the sake of missions?

But confessing now felt like setting fire to his own painstaking work.

“Don’t rush it; we can talk slowly,” Clovie said, seeing how hard it was for him to speak and comforting him with gentle insight.

Chen Yuan took a deep breath, sat down slowly, stretched his legs on the grass, and propped himself up with both hands behind him.

Clovie stayed beside him, and when he sat down she also crouched so she could listen better.

“Then I’ll… start… from the moment I died…”

“All right.”

Druya Kingdom.

Years passed after Falz’s death.

In fact, the last descendants of the vampires numbered far more than Yu alone.

Many outstanding clansmen hid within human society, waiting for a chance to restore the vampire nation.

After Falz’s tutelage, Yu understood that revenge meant nothing if it relied only on killing the king, killing the prince, or even slaughtering everyone.

Falz had been willing to die for her; therefore she could no longer regard all humans as enemies.

Slaughter solved nothing.

She employed a new method: the surviving clansmen already occupied the upper echelons among humans, so she let them replace the human leadership and set up a puppet king.

This was the vampires’ absolute advantage; with lifespans and experience humans could never attain, once they infiltrated every upper level no one would ever notice a clue.

From the first few individuals they expanded into every field, even into the Church.

They colluded with certain corrupt officials and plotted against the king, then erased their pawns.

By virtue of her long years, she became the mastermind behind the entire Druya Kingdom.

However, when the revenge ended… where was Falz?

A tidal wave of longing drowned her.

She ascended the throne, watching the restored vampire kingdom exist in a new form, but Falz would never return.

He had died because of her—betrayed by her.

She had deliberately exposed a flaw and let the high ranks suspect him.

Before, he always settled such flaws quietly; why not that time?

Had he not noticed? Why?

She could not understand.

She returned to his mansion; though much time had passed, it remained spotless.

Memories of him filled every corner; her recollections stayed vivid.

She understood why he had locked her in the basement, why he had confined her in the Little Dark Room.

In that pitch-black room she perversely felt a shred of inner peace, as if only there could she hear him sitting outside talking to her.

She had become pathological.

She spent every day in his mansion, in his room, missing everything about him.

She was about to go mad—had already gone mad.

She began to wield forbidden power, trying to resurrect Falz.

She cared nothing for any price, any atrocity, as long as it worked!

As long as she could bring him back!

She had no heart to weigh right or wrong.

“My Falz…”

At that moment a voice sounded and carried her to a brand-new world.

The voice said, “Oh, Vampire Queen, the Falz you want is right here, so please stop sacrificing innocents—sob sob sob!”

“Here is the identity we prepared for you. Off you go~”

“…So that’s why I came to your world, to revive you and help you become queen…”

“So that means…”

Clovie lowered her gaze.

“In the frigid Nix, you saw me alone and pitiful, so you took me home, taught me, and gave me a warm family—is that the story?”

She had roughly distilled the essence of Chen Yuan’s explanation.

“Mm…”

Chen Yuan was still melancholy; he had explained the whole sequence, only adding a little color where the missions were not involved.

He did not want Clovie to misunderstand.

Yet hearing Clovie’s summary, he thought, “Wait, that’s not it?”

Why did it sound like a puppy being taken in by its owner on a cold winter day?!

Just then—

“Old Chen!”

Luo Zichuan arrived with the people behind him…
