Chapter 28: Yu…

Night stayed silent.

Clovie had already fallen into a quiet sleep.

After he walked out of her room, he gently closed the door.

He cleared away the leftovers on the table, took a shower, then stood at the bedroom window and looked down over the whole campus.

It was about eleven o’clock; by then the sports field of Jiang University of Science and Technology held almost no students.

It was time to turn into Spider-Man and save the city!

Chen Yuan suddenly struck a heroic pose against the glass…

After a while, he slumped again and lay back on the bed.

In the end he had saved no one, yet he talked about saving the city…

Once he finally settled Clovie, he at last had time to analyze the current situation.

Clovie was the first person he found, mainly because he had gone out to look for her.

He went to look for her because he feared the first one to find him might be Yu.

With Clovie around, at least his life was safe.

According to Heaven, they all should have arrived, only with varying time lags.

For example, he gained rebirth only after finishing the last mission; that Esper Girl could not have shown up the moment he left.

There always had to be a process, just as with Clovie.

When he left Clovie, she was nineteen; now she was twenty-one, so two years had passed.

The timeline felt off.

Finishing the other four remaining missions had taken far more than two years, perhaps more than ten.

However… the next one had to be Yu…

It could only be her…

But if it was her, what should he do…

He really could not let her and Clovie fight…

…

Yu was the second mission he completed.

At that time, his task was only to rescue her and keep her from human harm…

Yet she never trusted humans, and she trusted him even less.

Her whole vampire clan had been slaughtered by humans, and as a vampire princess her noble blood had drawn human greed.

When he crossed over, he happened to hold high rank in the human church, so he used his power to hide her…

But by then she was wounded all over, unwilling to trust him, even swearing that one day she would wipe out every human, just as her royal father had been beheaded by them.

To avoid trouble, he first imprisoned her in the basement…

“You keep saying it’s for me. Then let me out!”

“If I let you out, only death waits for you,” Chen Yuan said, wearing a cloak that marked the church hierarchy.

“Heh… you just want to raise me like livestock and use my blood for your longevity, right?”

“I tell you, without a true vampire blessing, draining my blood is useless. You humans can never gain eternal life!”

“You humans will always be selfish trash!”

The vampire clan had fallen because one of them loved a human…

Ignoring the ancestors’ warning, that vampire had granted humans immortality…

The ability soon spread among the nobles…

That brought the vampires’ doom.

Chen Yuan did not argue; from her angle, humans did look selfish.

Yet absolute claims were never wholly true…

He only did what he had to.

No one knew how long passed before Chen Yuan moved her from the dark basement to a Little Dark Room that received sunlight.

Her temper stayed fierce and slightly crazy.

Chen Yuan grew more worried about her mind, so, risking discovery, he resolutely transferred her to a sunlit room.

Once she saw sunlight, she could tell day from night, and her mental state improved greatly.

Even so, she still resisted Chen Yuan…

“What?! You want to play the long game with me?!”

“Our vampire life span far exceeds yours!”

“Save the false kindness! Who wants your food!”

“You realized force won’t work, so you switched to soft tactics, right? You must want my blessing, ha…”

“If only we vampires had a curse to shorten your lives even more!”

Chen Yuan stayed silent, simply sitting outside, telling her what was happening in the world, ignoring her screams, and quietly reminding her that revenge first required survival…

She listened to that one sentence…

Later, Chen Yuan himself suffered an anonymous accusation, and the whole mansion underwent a thorough search.

Luckily, he got the warning early and barely dodged the crisis.

When she saw those men in familiar vestments lead Chen Yuan away from the Little Dark Room, panic and anger welled in her…

Chen Yuan returned safe.

She altered her view of him a bit, but only a bit.

She would never trust anyone again.

Who knew whether Chen Yuan had staged the whole show?

Then one day, the Little Dark Room finally opened. The youth in his twenties walked in and told her she was free…

“Falz, I do not thank you!”

“Whatever, stay safe.”

“You really let me go?!”

“The king is gravely ill and still hunts for you. You’d better wear this mask…”

“…I will come back and take your life!”

“……”

Later.

“Why do you stay here?”

“None of your business.”

“I know what you are thinking. Impossible.”

“Then I’ll take your life.”

Chen Yuan laughed softly. “With your strength now, you cannot beat me…”

Yu: “…”

He began to teach her the church’s forbidden arts…

“Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?”

“Feel free. That is my mission.”

“Did you take part in the slaughter of my kin?”

“Of course.”

“Then I will definitely kill you!”

“Feel free…”

Later, she defeated Chen Yuan…

Vampire powers surpassed human ones; they had simply received the forbidden arts later.

“Didn’t you say you would kill me?” Chen Yuan lay under her foot.

“Heh… I changed my mind… I’ll keep you the way you kept me, like a dog!”

In the end, he failed to straighten her completely; her mind still tilted toward madness.

He had no choice; the trauma was too great, and endless darkness would drive anyone crazy…

Yet he had no other way; only that kept her alive…

Later…

She was discovered.

“Falz! You disappoint me greatly!” The pontiff shook his head and sighed.

“Where is she? Hand her over!” The prince urgently needed her to heal his father the king…

“She already left.”

“Falz!!”
