The Nishian King created an invisible barrier that hid the island's existence. Neither outside nor inside could penetrate the barrier, so foreigners from other countries couldn't enter Nishian's country.
People like Yang Shuo and floating island shouldn't exist, which meant Yang Shuo had kidnapped her!
"You brought me here." guessed Niken in a flat tone. "What is your plan?"
"You have extraordinary cultivation, Xiao Yue. It is making me couldn't help but craving for you. Especially for your blood. It has the sweetest thing I have ever tasted."
The corners of Niken's lips twitched at this. Blood? This man want her blood? What for?
Niken saw Yang Shuo lick his two fangs, causing her eyes to widen.
"You... You are a vampire!?"
Niken had heard the story of blood-sucker from her mother when she was a child. There were three kinds of vampires who used to live in the mortal realm.
The first type was a pureblood vampire where they have the ability to shapeshifted into anything. They also have a heart that beat like humans' hearts and had the poison in their fangs to turn humans into their kind.
Then the second type was an ordinary vampire. They have neither the heart nor the poison that could change humans. They could not shapeshift and did not have any special abilities. In other words, this average vampire caste was much lower than the pureblood ones.
Then the last type and the lowest was the degraded vampire.
This type of vampire could barely control their quench. Their pair of eyes would turn red until they covered their eyeballs entirely. Their two fangs would extend past its chin and not retractable.
These lowly vampires were the most brutal and almost eliminated the human race while living in the mortal realm.
Fortunately, thousands of years ago, a pureblood wizard managed to create one particular realm so that all vampires could move and live there.
The portal door was controlled by a pureblood vampire who was crowned as the king of the realm. No vampire could pass through the portal door and enter the mortal realm without the king's approval.
The degraded vampires would never be allowed to step foot in the mortal realm, and only the pureblood ones could enter the human realm to hunt and bring their prey to their world.
It had been a long time since the vampires left the mortal realm to make all humans think vampires were extinct. The existence of vampires in this world has been erased from human memories.
If a vampire had not kidnapped Niken, she herself would not have remembered the story of blood-sucker that she had heard from her mother.
'Yue'er, if someday by any chance you meet one of the blood-sucker creatures, remember this one thing. It would be best if you run at full speed and never let him drink your blood. Once they taste your blood, their cultivation would be boosted up, and they would never let you go.'
Niken clenched her hands and wondered how she got out of this cave.
If her guess was not wrong, she is in the vampire realm, which means she has to find the portal door's location to the mortal realm.
Niken had to make sure she didn't get caught so that the vampire didn't suck her blood… Wait, haven't Yang Shuo ever suck her blood?
Tap. Tap.
Niken no longer thought about this when she heard Yang Shuo's footsteps walking towards her. Every time the vampire stepped forward, Niken stepped back cautiously.
"Tell me, Time Master, how do you break my seal?"
Niken chose not to answer, and her mind drifted off to the exit where Yang Shuo had come here.
"Forget your idea of wanting to run away because you won't be able to avoid me."
Without giving an answer, Niken slammed her fist into the ground and froze the time around them.
If she couldn't escape the pursuit of this vampire who was known for his extremely high speed, then she only needed to stop time.
After confirming that the time had stopped and Yang Shuo did not move, Niken quickly rose to her feet and ran towards the exit.
Unfortunately, as soon as she passed Yang Shuo's frozen body, suddenly her waist was circled by the arm, and her body spun abruptly and crashed onto the ground hard, causing a groan to escape from her lips.
Niken was lying with her back facing the ceiling while her hands were held behind her back. Niken even felt something heavy on her body so that she could not move as if chains bound her.
"Impossible! How can you move?" Niken did not believe that this vampire could move inside her time dimension.
Yang Shuo smirked at the horror face adorned on Niken. He took one of Niken's hands and positioned it before her eyes to show her something.
Niken saw that her delicate white wrist was decorated with two dots of dark red like the color of dried blood.
Looking at the two dots and feeling energy similar to her flowing in Yang Shuo's body sank her heart.
"I know I can no longer approach you gently, and you will try to walk away from me. Before that happened, I decided to forcibly draw your blood so that I would become immune from your powers."
Niken bit her lip in frustration.
This is the thing that her mother is scared about. A vampire shall not drink the blood of a time controller, let alone a time master. The vampire will have the same abilities as a time master and will not be affected by a time master's power.
'Kazu, help me.' Niken couldn't think anything but to call her lover in her mind.
At the same time, Kazuto, who was currently in the high tower with Zephyr, stopped his steps. He turned around and looked straight at the path where he had come with his pair of red eyes.
It's Niken.
She's back!
