CH 59

TL: Moonlit

The group of people who were originally provoking had long since disappeared without a trace. When faced with danger, their instinctual response was to run away.

Now, in this large square, only Shi Yunyi, Bai Yu, and Mo Yun remained.

Mo Yun’s head was separated from his body, lying on the ground, with his head about ten meters away from his body.

However, even in this state, he continued to babble incessantly.

Mo Yun saw Shi Yunyi for the first time hesitating even to kill someone.

It was truly ridiculous.

He couldn’t even assemble his body quickly enough before he started mocking relentlessly.

“Shi Yunyi! What’s wrong with you? You’ve become so indecisive. Just kill him, cleanly and swiftly!”

However, Mo Yun’s words had just finished when he suddenly froze.

Shi Yunyi had made a gash on Bai Yu’s neck.

Traces of red blood seeped out from it.

The sweet scent of blood spread through the air.

Mo Yun closed his eyes and deeply inhaled the air tinged with the smell of blood.

It was just the scent of blood. Vampires like Mo Yun, who were of his caliber, no longer drank human blood. They consumed the blood of unicorns.

However, the blood of this person before him was unexpectedly so sweet.

Mo Yun’s eyes widened, as if every cell in his body was starting to boil.

Such a scent made him want to fly over immediately and take a bite out of this human boy.

In an instant, Mo Yun’s body was restored once again, and he flew fiercely toward where Bai Yu was.

His mouth was already open, revealing his sharp teeth.

However, before his mouth could reach Bai Yu, Shi Yunyi grabbed Mo Yun by the neck.

His fingers tightened forcefully, and the neck instantly snapped.

Shi Yunyi forcefully threw Mo Yun to the ground.

A hint of pallor flashed across Mo Yun’s face. Just now, he was drawn to the blood without any rationality, but now he was slowly regaining some clarity.

Shi Yunyi coldly glanced at Mo Yun, released his grip on Bai Yu’s neck, and stepped toward where Mo Yun was.

His expression was incredibly cold, and a murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

Vampires had extremely long lifespans and were difficult to kill, but it was also challenging for them to give birth to new life.

The number of vampires in the world was not plentiful. Killing one meant one less vampire.

So, unless it was absolutely necessary, they wouldn’t choose to kill their own kind.

That was the reason why Mo Yun dared to provoke Shi Yunyi so recklessly.

However, at this moment, Mo Yun distinctly felt the strong murderous intent in Shi Yunyi’s eyes.

With a tinge of fear, he looked at Shi Yunyi and restored his body once again.

If he wasn’t mistaken, this time Shi Yunyi truly wanted to kill him!

Having restored his body too many times in one day, Mo Yun’s regenerative ability had long exceeded its limit.

Originally, he couldn’t match Shi Yunyi’s strength, and now he was even weaker.

Mo Yun clenched his teeth and greedily glanced at Bai Yu once again.

Although the blood was sweet, it wasn’t more important than his own life.

Without hesitation, he turned around and flew into the sky. In the blink of an eye, he vanished without a trace.

The icy coldness still lingered in Shi Yunyi’s eyes.

He turned around and looked at Bai Yu, whose face was extremely pale.

Even though he had such a good opportunity to escape just now, Bai Yu still stood motionless here.

Truly a foolish human.

Shi Yunyi raised his head and shouted at Bai Yu.

“Do you think I want to spare your life? I won’t tolerate anyone knowing what happened in the past week. So, you can only die!”

Bai Yu smiled bitterly.

“I’m exactly the opposite of you. I cherish those times. Unfortunately, such moments can only exist in memories forever.”

Bai Yu let out a sigh…

That adorable little fool who would hold him and make a lifetime promise…

Who would try their best to please him…

Who couldn’t bear to see even the slightest harm come to him.

But…

The person before his eyes, who had the same appearance as the little fool…

Perhaps it should be said that they were the same person, but Bai Yu still couldn’t overlap the present him with the past him.

“Compared to now, I still prefer the way you were back then. You were so different from how you are now…”

Bai Yu’s words instantly infuriated Shi Yunyi.

“Shut up! Don’t you mention that time again!”

As a vampire, his pride couldn’t allow him to show such an ugly side and be manipulated so easily by a human.

“I should have just let you die!”

“Is that so?”

Bai Yu raised his head, his eyes fixed on the person before him.

“Then why didn’t you let your companion bite me just now? After all, whether it’s being drained of my blood like a corpse or being killed, it all leads to my death, doesn’t it?”

Bai Yu’s words left Shi Yunyi stunned.

Why didn’t he allow Mo Yun to drink Bai Yu’s blood just now?

Indeed, this person would eventually die. No matter the method, it would end in death.

But why couldn’t he allow Mo Yun to drink his blood?

Shi Yunyi furrowed his brow. This was a question even he couldn’t explain clearly.

He didn’t know why he had done this.

All he knew was that when Mo Yun approached Bai Yu just now, an uncontrollable urge to kill surged in his heart.

He wanted to ruthlessly kill Mo Yun, who was getting close to Bai Yu!

He even had a ridiculous thought of wanting to protect Bai Yu.

Shi Yunyi’s dark eyes became even more gloomy.

Suddenly, a sense of annoyance arose in his heart.

He should have killed him!

Why couldn’t he bear to do it?

How was that possible?

As the Blood Emperor among vampires, how could he be so indecisive?

Shi Yunyi’s eyes were filled with coldness as he stared expressionlessly at the person in front of him and coldly said, “That’s because I think it’s better for me to personally drain your blood!”

As he spoke, he walked towards Bai Yu, embraced his body, and bit into his neck.

The tingling sensation flooded back, and Bai Yu’s eyes became somewhat vacant.

That feeling directly rushed to his mind, making him unable to help but let out a sob.

There couldn’t be anything more ironic in this world…

Clearly, he was being drained of blood and about to lose his life.

Yet, he couldn’t suppress the desire-like feeling caused by the aphrodisiac released when a vampire fed…

Bai Yu kept panting, and he didn’t even have the strength to push away the person in front of him.

In his mind, there were scenes from the time when Shi Yunyi was with him…

His eyes had closed, and Bai Yu’s hands instinctively embraced Shi Yunyi’s body.

He even began to have hallucinations in his mind.

As if he had returned to that time when his little fool was looking at him with a smile…

Bai Yu murmured softly, “Little fool…”

Shi Yunyi suddenly stopped, becoming completely stunned.

Excessive blood loss made Bai Yu’s head start to spin, and his strength diminished, causing his body to slide downward.

Shi Yunyi’s sharp fangs were still piercing Bai Yu’s neck.

He bit hard, and Bai Yu’s blood, unlike that of ordinary humans, had an indescribable sweetness.

Such blood was simply top-grade, so sweet that it was irresistible to drink it all in one breath.

However, Shi Yunyi couldn’t feel the sweetness.

He didn’t know why, but drinking this blood made him taste bitterness…

The person in his arms had gradually become limp, and even the arm that had been embracing him had drooped down.

Feeling Bai Yu’s head slowly drooping, Shi Yunyi’s heart tightened painfully.

He abruptly released his teeth.

Trembling, he called out, “Bai Yu!”

Bai Yu’s eyes had closed, and he slumped weakly in Shi Yunyi’s arms.

Shi Yunyi felt an indescribable panic in his heart, and that feeling of fear made him unsure of what to do next.

In his mind were the words he had once said to Bai Yu, the words that they would never be separated…

But now, he had almost killed him.

Bai Yu’s heart was still weakly beating, but it seemed to have reached its limit. The excessive loss of blood had completely caused him to lose consciousness.

If he lost any more blood, he would truly disappear from this world…

Shi Yunyi furrowed his brow and held Bai Yu in his arms.

His heart was filled with indescribable complexity.

The person before him was just too weak, so weak that even a slight movement of his little finger could make him die instantly.

But Shi Yunyi still couldn’t bring himself to continue.

At this point, he had to admit that he simply couldn’t do it.

Mo Yun was right…

He couldn’t bring himself to kill the person before his eyes.

Shi Yunyi placed Bai Yu on the ground.

His eyes remained motionless as he looked at Bai Yu. This was the first time he had been so unprincipled…

But he was helpless.

Forget it, since he couldn’t kill him, let it be.

After all, he was just a human.

Even if Bai Yu spread rumors about what happened back then, probably not many people would believe it.

Today, even if he was feeling generous, he would let him go.

They should never meet again…

Shi Yunyi steadied his mind, turned abruptly, and didn’t look at Bai Yu again.

—

In the night sky, the exquisite vampire spread his wings.

His previously disheveled hair, which had been cut messily, grew back in an instant.

His silver hair flowed like a waterfall in the evening breeze.

The black wings traced graceful arcs in the night sky.

Shi Yunyi furrowed his brow and disappeared into the boundless darkness of the night.

But he didn’t see the crowd of people who had already left but turned back…

The flickering lights escorted a priest who was rushing towards this place.
