The Great Demon Lord of the American Comics World

Chapter 46, I will follow you to the ends of hell.

It was evening, and the sun had already set.

Selena, dressed in pajamas and wearing a hooded cape, stood barefoot in the shade of the balcony, watching the sunset.

Li Xingzhou came up behind her, put his arms around her slender waist, and placed his hands on her flat and soft abdomen.

Selena leaned back against him, nestled into his arms, tilted her head up and kissed him on the cheek, whispering:
"The sunset is so beautiful tonight."

Li Xingzhou returned the kiss, looking at the fiery red sunset, and said with a smile:

"The sunrise in the morning is just as magnificent as the sunset. Would you like to watch the sunrise at the beach?"

Selena was silent for a moment, then shook her head:
"Vampires can't see the sun."

Li Xingzhou said leisurely:
"Our world is a world full of miracles. Any incredible miracle is possible. Allowing vampires to walk in the sunlight and bask in it is just the most insignificant of them."

As far as he knew, there were at least two ways in this world to turn Selena into a Daywalker.

One is the originator of the Underworld legends, the immortal Alexander Corvinus—his two sons, Marcus and William, one became the progenitor of Selena's line of vampires, and the other became the progenitor of Lucien's line of werewolves.

Alexander's blood can lift a vampire's punishment of sunlight, turning them into daywalkers.

Another way is the "Reality Gem".

The Reality Stone can disregard all logic, natural laws, and scientific principles, defining everything at will. If one were to use the Reality Stone to make a wish so that a vampire is not afraid of sunlight, that would truly be the most insignificant and trivial wish.

Besides the methods that exist in these two worlds themselves.

Li Xingzhou also had his own methods to lift the sunlight punishment off Selena.

Of course, Li Xingzhou's methods involve cultivation, so the effects may be slower to appear.

The Reality Gem, however, is extremely difficult to obtain.

Therefore, the most feasible way to help Selena get some sunlight as soon as possible is to seek help from Alexander Kvinus.

Selena smiled:
"If possible, I would certainly like to bask in the sun. It would be best if I could also eat some delicious food."

Vampires can certainly eat normal food.

However, apart from blood, no other food can provide vampires with any nutrition or energy, and solid food will cause vampires to suffer from severe indigestion.

Only liquid beverages such as alcohol and coffee can still be enjoyed.

"Speaking of food... actually, you already have a delicious food to enjoy right now."

Selena asked疑惑地问道, "What is it?"

Li Xingzhou blinked: "Have you ever been to Chinatown?"

……

eight pm.

A Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, Manhattan.

Selena used her fork to pick up a piece of spicy Sichuan hot pot, put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly, her eyes gradually filled with emotion.

Li Xingzhou smiled at her and asked, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

Selena nodded repeatedly, ate another piece of spicy blood curd, and then said:

"It's delicious, so tasty... and I can digest it... I never imagined Chinese food could be so amazing, turning blood into such a delicacy... Why didn't I discover this dish sooner?"

Vampires don't actually only consume human blood; animal blood can also provide them with nutrition and energy, although it's less efficient than human blood.

Furthermore, the vast majority of vampires consider themselves to be long-lived beings superior to humans, looking down on even short-lived humans and regarding them as livestock and food. How could they possibly respect beasts, who are even lower than humans? As for animal blood, which they could normally eat, many vampires simply cannot bring themselves to consume it due to psychological factors.

Selena certainly doesn't have this problem.

While she wouldn't go so far as to eat animals raw or consume their blood, she can certainly eat spicy blood curd, which is made into a dish, and she enjoys it very much.

"You didn't discover this sooner, perhaps because you were waiting for me to appear, waiting for me to take you to enjoy it?" Li Xingzhou said with a smile, then picked up a piece of duck blood from the hot pot and put it in Selena's bowl: "Try the duck blood, it's even more crisp and tender."

Selena accepted the offer without hesitation, forking the duck blood into her mouth and slowly chewing and savoring it, her icy blue eyes brimming with happiness.

After enjoying this happy dinner, Selena linked arms with Li Xingzhou and strolled with him through Chinatown, looking just like an ordinary couple.

However, the topic they discussed completely distinguished them from ordinary people.

“...Victor destroyed my homeland, killed my parents and relatives, and fooled and used me for hundreds of years. I must kill him with my own hands to avenge my parents and homeland.”

"As for revenge, even if I join forces with you, we'll have to plan carefully and strategize slowly. After all, Victor himself is very powerful, and the clan isn't entirely made up of corrupt, decadent, and cowardly vampire nobles like Craven. There are also many elite warriors who are loyal to Victor... and even the progenitor of vampires, Marcus..."

"What do you suggest?"

"It's simple. Victor is still asleep, right? Craven also secretly cooperated with the werewolves to hunt you down, so the other vampires in the clan don't know that you have already seen through the truth of what happened back then and want to break with Victor. You can simply return to the clan, continue being a death walker, and then lead those die-hard Victor followers into the death trap we have set for them."

Selena frowned slightly:
“Victor’s die-hard followers must be eliminated, as they are likely accomplices in the destruction of my homeland. However, there are several comrades in the Deathwalker group who respect me greatly and have followed me in hunting werewolves many times… Although they might turn against me under Victor’s orders after I break with him, I would rather fight them to the death openly than betray and frame them, as that would violate my principles.”

Vampires have a deep-seated awe and fear of the vampire who gave them their first embrace; it is a genuine "bloodline suppression" that is difficult to resist with willpower alone.

Therefore, even death walkers who respect or even idolize Selena will almost certainly not side with her after her break with Victor. Instead, they will almost certainly obey Victor's orders and become her enemies.

Even Selena herself wasn't sure if she would have the courage to attack Victor when they faced each other.

Even knowing that the Deathwalkers would turn against her, Selena was unwilling to betray and frame her former comrades.

Li Xingzhou expressed his appreciation for this:
"That's the right idea, and I support you. That's why I said we're only targeting Victor's die-hards. As for your comrades, we can defeat them, imprison them temporarily, and then give them a choice once we've killed Victor and removed their bloodline suppression."

“I think by then, they will no longer choose to be your enemy. They might even be able to work for me—I want to open a private prison specifically for the most vicious and hardened criminals, and use vampires as guards. I think that should easily quell the arrogance of those hardened criminals.”

"Speaking of which, it seems like vampires don't even need to be paid? I've already spared their lives and provided them with shelter, so all I need to do is feed them. I don't even need to provide them with human blood or artificial blood; feeding them spicy blood curd is enough..."

Selena smiled gently:
“Even vampires are trying to exploit you, Li Ang, you really are a devil.”

"Yes, I am that kind of demon. So, Selena, do you like this kind of demon?"

"of course."

Selena gazed into Li Xingzhou's eyes and murmured:

"You are my devil prince... Even if you take me to hell, I will follow you to the very end of hell..."

As if to add luster to her confession, four fireworks suddenly burst into the night sky...

Uh, okay, that wasn't fireworks, that was Iron Man Tony Stark flying in the sky.

That dazzling flame was merely the stream of fire erupting from the palms and feet of the Iron Man's Mark mech...

But Li Xingzhou simply considered it as fireworks adding color.

He smiled, gently embraced Selena, and kissed her right there on the street, oblivious to everyone else.

In the sky, Iron Man flew towards Stark Tower while speaking on the phone with a high-ranking figure:

"...General Ross, that one-eyed guy found me and asked me to ask you to help find someone, that big green guy... What? Your cousin is dead? You're preparing for his funeral? I'm sorry to bother you, but may I ask who your cousin is? Is he some important figure in the Ross family? Barney Ross? Never heard of him..."

"No, I mean it's such a shame. He must have been a really good person... What? He was murdered? That's horrible! How dare someone murder General Ross's family. No problem, I can help you find the killer, but please help me find that big green guy too. I'm actually a huge fan of his, the really die-hard kind..."
