“Oh dear, oh dear, Princess Ludwig.”
Ye Liuli suddenly appeared beside the girl without making a sound.
"You, who like to cling to girls, have stopped even going to see your personal maid. I knew something was amiss. And sure enough."
She sneered.
"Our princess has eaten some strange things on her own, which is not good for her health."
“Please come with me, and I will make sure you vomit it all out, and then go before your mother to beg for her forgiveness.”
"Finally... I'll make you pay for your groping me."
...
Ludwig was clearly startled by her appearance, but how could this proud young lady obediently spit out the blood energy she had already swallowed?
“Gu…!”
She stood up and staggered back two steps.
"I...I command you as the vampire princess..."
Ye Liuli sneered: "You can't order me around, Princess Ludwig."
...
"I...I will never hand it over..."
With no way to retreat behind her, Ludwig pouted and decided to take a desperate gamble.
"Hmph, I'll go all out!"
grunt.
Immediately, her eyes rolled back, and a powerful aura erupted from her body—
Ye Liuli's eyes widened: "...What?!"
This carefree young lady actually forcibly fused with blood energy?!
This is undoubtedly an extremely risky act. A slight misstep could even damage the blood energy she already possesses, causing her to lose all the advantages of being a high-level vampire and become just another ordinary person!
Even...life-threatening!
"This is utter chaos!"
Ye Liuli stepped forward to try to hold her down, but then her unconscious body suddenly started moving on its own.
...
Snapped!
Ye Liuli's wrist was firmly blocked.
"this...?!"
The current situation is utterly unbelievable—
Ludwig's unconscious body moved like a puppet, but she successfully blocked Ye Liuli's attack without touching her.
hum...
As a beam of light swept by, an arm radiating a cool, dark blue glow, like moonlight, gradually appeared before Ye Liuli.
It was the "thing" that shielded Ludwig from Ye Liuli's attack!
"What's this...?!"
hum...
Just seconds later, a complete humanoid figure appeared before Ye Liuli, its true full form now fully revealed—
A translucent humanoid figure, like a ghost, stood between Ludwig and Ye Liuli, floating lightly in the air, without substance and seemingly without weight.
But its appearance was clearly visible, and it was able to block Ye Liuli like this...!
"Ghost" wore a witch's robe and a wide-brimmed witch's hat, obscuring her face. Her wrists and ankles, as slender as Ludwig's, were covered with light armor resembling leather.
Perhaps because she was always floating in the air, she was not wearing any lower garments, including shoes, and her slender feet were bare under the cover of her robe.
The girl's figure beneath the robes was as elusive as her translucent form.
In her other free hand, she held a blurry staff, and at her waist hung a thick grimoire with equally blurry, strange incantations engraved on its cover.
She was just like her clothes.
Its entire form was dark blue, emitting a faint glow in the dimly lit garden.
"Witch?"
This ghostly figure resembles some kind of magician, much like a witch or sorceress from some fantasy work.
But at least such a thing doesn't exist in this world, so her appearance left Ye Liuli quite confused.
"What's going on? Could this be the blood energy Ludwig swallowed...?"
Before Ye Liuli could think, the ghost mage suddenly raised his staff and pointed it at Ye Liuli.
Upon closer inspection, Ludwig behind her was rolling her eyes, clearly not yet conscious, but she raised her hand on her own, as if controlling the ghost's actions.
The air near the tip of the staff distorted rapidly, then a surge of intense, eerie energy gathered.
buzzing-
Ye Liuli exclaimed in alarm: "Oh no!"
An unusual "fireball" appeared from the top of the staff, and immediately, Ye Liuli's subconscious desperately told her - she had to dodge!
Bang! !
Chapter 99 Embrace of First Blood
Da da da da——
The vampire guards filed in from all sides, looking bewildered at the chaotic garden.
"Lady Ruri! What happened?!"
The once vast castle gardens are now unrecognizable, with burn marks of varying sizes left on the flowers, plants, and trees.
Without exception, they all present a neat circle.
The same is true of the dozens of scorched marks on the grass, where the turf was burned into neat round pits, and the charred soil inside still emitted the "fragrance" of charcoal fire.
Centered on these circular scorch marks, radial burn marks appeared around them... Undoubtedly, its killing range was extremely bizarre.
The guards heard a fierce fight and explosions in the garden, but when they arrived at the scene, they only saw the mysterious Blood Shadow Captain standing in the garden, holding the unconscious Princess Ludwig in his arms.
"This is none of your business. Get out of here."
"But..."
"Didn't you understand?!"
A blood-red, menacing light flashed in the girl's eyes.
“I will explain the incident to the parliament myself, and until then, restore this place to its original state. Otherwise, you will be held accountable.”
The guards looked at each other, then responded in unison:
"Yes...yes, sir!"
...
...
Ye Liuli carried Ludwig away, and only then did she secretly breathe a sigh of relief in the deserted corridor.
She really didn't want to recall the battle from just a few minutes ago—
The ghostly, dark blue witch didn't unleash a typical fireball spell from the tip of her staff...
Judging from its bizarre explosion, it was probably a concentrated mass of scorching energy that created a strong temperature difference upon impact, thus dispersing the surrounding air along with its contained scorching energy...
It causes serious damage on both physical and chemical levels.
"Is it because...she was controlling this 'witch' unconsciously? Or perhaps it's because her body wasn't strong enough...the power she could exert was extremely limited."
Ye Liuli clicked her tongue, secretly feeling a chill of fear.
"If she is powerful enough, the 'fireball' created by this blue phantom could probably blow up the entire castle."
Fortunately, Ye Liuli, who had extensive combat experience, quickly discovered its weakness: it only knew how to attack mechanically and would always prioritize protecting Ludwig no matter what.
After she was forced to use her blood energy, she easily reached Ludwig's side and knocked her unconscious with a neck strike, at which point the eerie blue witch disappeared on her own.
"I hope no one sees my blood..."
She snorted to herself and looked at Ludwig in her arms.
"This is outrageous! Even I, back in the day..."
"...never mind."
"We'll find out in person when she wakes up. At least for now, it seems she's perfectly integrated with this blood energy."
"I'm afraid that thing is far more complex than it appears; it's definitely not just a strange 'witch'..."
"...snort."
"If she could be used by us vampires, she would undoubtedly be a rare trump card..."
"But if she still insists on opposing us..."
Ye Liuli gently traced the neck of the unconscious girl with her fingertips.
"No wonder I acted first and informed later."
"Yes, stubborn princess. No one can threaten them."
...

...
Group Island.
A motorboat is moored at the dock.
Cartroll, his arm wrapped in bandages, had just gotten off the speedboat when he looked up and saw a group of people waiting for him at the dock.
"...This...Young Master Spiel?"
He immediately put on a smile: "I'm so sorry to have troubled you to pick me up..."
Spier, with his hands behind his back, smiled and tapped his cane on the ground twice.
"What's there to be embarrassed about?"
boom!boom!
The bodyguard beside him immediately fired two tranquilizer guns, hitting Che Nianchen squarely in the neck and heart.
Startled by the dust runoff, and under the influence of anesthesia, his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
"Uh... Ah! What! Young Master!!"
...
"Alright, alright, [Chariot]. Don't be so surprised..."
"As a loser, isn't it reasonable to accept the punishment stipulated by the group?"
He raised his cane, reached into the dusty collar of his coat, and hooked out a necklace, which he then played with in his hand.
"Tsk. Look at this."
Spyr frowned.
"The Wandering Knight's pendant? Now I have every reason to sue you for aiding and abetting the group's enemies in damaging company property [lackey]..."
Seeing Che Nianchen's furious expression, he shook his head insincerely.
