CH 70

TL: Moonlit

Bai Yu lay on the bed with his eyes closed, feeling a chill in his heart.

His eyes silently closed, and the pain in his chest was unbearable.

Although he had told himself a thousand times not to care about that jerk, the discomfort in his heart could not be ignored.

This person, for him, was the person he liked in his heart and also the father of their child.

But in this world, they meant nothing to each other.

That person even used an innocent appearance to deeply hurt him.

He was like a cruel executioner holding a knife, stabbing himself again and again, covering himself in blood.

But he didn’t know why he was getting hurt.

He even felt that he was unreasonable…

Bai Yu clenched his teeth tightly and curled up in the blanket. Tears streamed down his face.

Actually, he was in so much pain, too much…

He asked Shi Yunyi if he could refrain from choosing a new bride.

But Shi Yunyi refused.

He said it was a tradition of the vampire clan for thousands of years…

When Bai Yu heard those words, his heart died.

So today, Shi Yunyi would choose a bride he was satisfied with in his castle.

He was getting married…

Then what was he?

A lowly pet?

It was ridiculous…

How could he watch Shi Yunyi marry someone else?

He couldn’t do it.

Bai Yu felt the pain trembling throughout his body.

Perhaps for Shi Yunyi, he was just a sweet-tasting blood and a plaything that could stay by his side.

But for Bai Yu, that person was the one he wanted to spend his life with…

Bai Yu really couldn’t bear to see Shi Yunyi marry someone else. He wished he could leave this world immediately.

To just watch Shi Yunyi marry someone else like that was something he couldn’t accept, no matter what.

“Xiao Mihu, can I leave here immediately?”

[Host, that would result in mission failure. Do you really want to leave?]

Xiao Mihu’s voice was small. As a system, he should persuade Bai Yu to continue the mission.

But the antagonist was really disappointing.

So disappointing that even he felt embarrassed to persuade the host to continue the mission.

[If you want to leave, you can do so by dying. However, Host, the antagonist’s favorability is still increasing even now. It’s already at 70 points… Host, don’t you really intend to…?]

“What do you mean? Become the third person in his marriage? Then complete the task with a guilty conscience?”

Bai Yu’s eyes lowered, coldness filling his eyes.

“Sorry, I can’t do it. My man can only have me. I can’t share a man with someone else. So, I’d rather leave.”

Bai Yu decisively found a knife in the room.

With this, he could easily leave this world.

Bai Yu’s actions showed no hesitation.

He didn’t want to die, he just wanted to leave.

The sharp knife cut through Bai Yu’s wrist, and red blood instantly flowed from his wrist.

Bai Yu watched everything expressionlessly.

As if the blood flowing out wasn’t his own, but someone unrelated…

It would be good to die and leave…

—

Shi Yunyi suddenly stood up from his seat.

He felt a sudden palpitation in his heart…

An indescribable pain filled his heart.

He urgently wanted to see Bai Yu.

These people told him that the word “pet” also had a negative meaning.

So was Bai Yu unwilling to be his little pet because of that?

Did he also consider himself as someone who treated him like an animal?

How could that be?

He had never thought that way!

He just thought the word “pet” was cute, like the Persian cat of the butler.

Gentle and obedient.

And his Bai Yu was such a little guy.

He wanted to hold this little guy in his arms and confine him to his side.

Make him the only person in his world from now on.

Want to be with him and be his only master…

But…

But they said it wasn’t like that.

So…

Shi Yunyi frowned deeply.

He urgently walked towards the door of the castle, wanting to see Bai Yu and tell him that he didn’t think that way.

However, as soon as Shi Yunyi lifted his foot, the castle’s butler stood in front of him.

“Master, where are you going? There are so many beauties waiting for you to choose from here.”

The butler knew his master was always capricious. Anything he wanted to do, no one could stop him.

But today was different.

Today was the day his master chose a bride, which concerned the future of the vampire clan.

Pure-blooded vampires were truly rare. The burden fell on his master’s shoulders.

“Master, please be patient and choose. Your bride is among these people.”

Bride?

Shi Yunyi’s face turned cold in an instant.

“Are you referring to these mediocre people? I’m sorry, go tell those nobles that I don’t find any of them appealing.”

Shi Yunyi’s words were extremely harsh, showing no mercy.

“If they insist on sending someone next time, tell them not to send such trash. They’re polluting my eyes.”

Shi Yunyi snorted coldly and walked directly toward the door.

His heart was pounding violently, and his mind was filled with Bai Yu’s figure.

He didn’t know why, but his heart was in a chaotic state.

This is a feeling I’ve never experienced before.

Even breathing became somewhat difficult, as if a lump of cotton was stuffed in my chest.

There was only one thought in my mind: I wanted to see Bai Yu.

Shi Yunyi’s words made the faces of all the women present turn extremely ugly.

One woman with good conditions couldn’t accept it and stepped forward, saying, “Blood Emperor, just how high are your standards? I believe I have good qualities. Where do you think I fall short?”

“You’re too ugly.”

Shi Yunyi felt restless in his heart.

“Someone as ugly as you shouldn’t show their face in public again.”

Shi Yunyi, who had a strong presence, stood there patiently, but these women were too ignorant.

Since they wanted to know how inadequate they were, he didn’t mind satisfying their curiosity.

However, Shi Yunyi’s words shattered the self-esteem of a woman who had grown up in an environment full of love and pampering.

She began to cry in front of everyone.

Crying, just like Bai Yu’s tearful appearance yesterday, made Shi Yunyi feel heartbroken and indescribable pain.

But the person in front of him only made him feel annoyed. Every second he spent here felt repulsive.

No longer caring about anything, Shi Yunyi instantly spread his wings and flew away.

—

“Bai Yu!”

Shi Yunyi’s anxiety grew along the way.

He hurried towards the direction where Bai Yu was.

However, when he opened the door, the scene in front of him left him completely stunned.

It was an image that Shi Yunyi would never forget.

His heart contracted violently, almost forgetting to beat!

Because the scene was too bloody, so bloody that he couldn’t believe it was real.

Bai Yu lay on the ground, closed eyes amidst a pool of blood.

His face had turned pale, devoid of any trace of color, while his surroundings were drenched in vibrant red.

Shi Yunyi stood there in a daze. His brain had several seconds of blankness, and he stared at the scene in front of him, unable to react.

Bai Yu lay there quietly, as if dead.

Blood, which was an extremely delicious substance for vampires, presented a sense of fear in Shi Yunyi’s heart.

Because he knew…

When blood ceases to flow, what does it mean for humans?

It means death!

Humans are too fragile, unlike vampires.

Once they die, there is nothing left.

“No!”

Shi Yunyi shouted loudly and rushed toward the direction where Bai Yu was.

Bai Yu’s body had already been stained red with blood.

There was a blood-red wound on his hand, with a knife beside it.

All this proved that Bai Yu had inflicted the wound on himself.

“Why did you do this, Bai Yu?”

Shi Yunyi forcefully pressed on Bai Yu’s wound, continuously channeling his own spiritual energy into it.

Stopping the bleeding from Bai Yu’s wound.

However, he couldn’t replenish the lost blood back into Bai Yu’s body.

Bai Yu was already in a semi-conscious state, almost losing consciousness.

In a daze, he felt himself being held in a warm embrace.

Vampire blood is cold, even the embrace is cold.

But due to excessive blood loss, even Shi Yunyi’s embrace felt warm to him.

Bai Yu slowly opened his eyes and saw Shi Yunyi looking at him with panic on his face.

Bai Yu spoke slowly:

“Shi Yunyi, congratulations… Congratulations on your upcoming marriage. And I can finally leave this place… I’m sorry, I didn’t want to be a pet… I hope you can live happily in this world…”

Shi Yunyi felt as if his heart was about to break from the pain.

Marriage? Pet?

“No, no! Bai Yu, I have no intention of getting married! Those women were just a facade. How could I possibly develop feelings for them? The only person I like is you!”

Shi Yunyi never understood what emotions were, and he had never liked anyone before.

In these thousand years, he had lived like that.

When he saw Bai Yu, he never considered what his feelings for him were.

He just wanted to keep Bai Yu by his side, not allowing anyone else to approach him.

At first, he had thought that it might be because Bai Yu’s blood tasted sweet, a delicious food source.

Or perhaps it was because of Bai Yu’s obedient appearance, making him a cute pet.

But now, Shi Yunyi finally understood.

So, this feeling is what it means to like someone…

He realized that he liked Bai Yu.

Not as food, not as a pet.

But as someone he wanted to spend his entire life with!
