Half an hour later, a strange scene appeared at the city gate.

The usually domineering guard captains, riding horses and pulling oxcarts, hurriedly led their families out of the city. Ten captains in total left the city one after another.

"What's the matter?"

"I don't know, maybe they found a better place?"

Everyone was discussing it, but they were still unaware of what had happened at the City Lord's Mansion.

In Qin Baobao's yard, Tana and Arthur's mother were cooking. Miler had run over early in the morning and was waiting at Qin Baobao's door.

He wanted to surprise her; he could talk now.

Last night, while feeding the little white bird, it suddenly started talking. Don't get me wrong, he didn't feed the little white bird human flesh; he found other food in the kitchen.

He was so happy that he couldn't help but spin around in the yard.

Abnormal, so abnormal!

Normally quiet, but today it seemed like it was stuck in a door. It was clenching its fists and spinning around; anyone who didn't know better would think it had rabies.

"What are you doing?" Even though he knew he was mute, Arthur couldn't help but ask.

Miler opened his mouth, unsure what to say. Should he tell Arthur that he could talk, and that he wanted to tell the news first to… his baby? The longer they spent together, the more he wanted to possess that person, and he had no desire to share him with anyone else.

The door creaked open, and Arthur, leaving Miler behind, rushed forward.

"Baby, are you hungry? Today we have all your favorite foods. Cheese, milk, xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), and barley soup."

Qin Baobao nodded indifferently and went to the water to wash up.

After their confrontation yesterday, Qin Baobao could no longer be enthusiastic towards him. Some violent thoughts even surfaced, but she ruthlessly suppressed them; she simply didn't want to see another Duan Jiufeng.

Arthur wasn't deterred by Qin Baobao's coldness at all; on the contrary, he became even more enthusiastic. He brought her water, handed her towels, and poured water for her, acting like a devoted servant, wishing he could take care of everything for Qin Baobao.

Miler stood there, stunned, watching the two of them chat and laugh. As they brushed past him, it was as if they had their own barrier, preventing anyone else from getting close.

If Arthur isn't here, could you spare some of your attention for me, baby? A black mist rose in Miler's eyes, and for a moment her eyes turned completely black.

A voice inside her whispered seductively, "Kill him, rip out his heart, and the goddess will be yours. No one will be able to distract her anymore! Kill him! Kill him!"

Miler unconsciously murmured, "Kill him."

"Yes, good boy. Kill him, gouge out his heart, and the goddess will be yours."

"Gouge out the heart." Miler seemed to have lost his self-awareness, only repeating the voice.

When Miler looked again, his eyes were different—dark, evil, and cunning. But he quickly returned to normal, as if the previous look had been an illusion.

Miler lowered her head, a smile playing on her lips. "Don't rush, it's not the right time yet. Besides, it's too bloody to do it yourself! The goddess is so noble, it wouldn't be worthy of her like that. It's much more interesting to use someone else to do the dirty work!"

Qin Baobao had no idea that the lucky charm she had finally found had been seduced by the devil right before her eyes, and had actually succeeded.

"Ella, dinner's ready," Arthur's mother called out to them.

"Mom, are you still my real mother? You only call Aila when it's time to eat, not me."

"Look how warm and loving this family is, except you're an outsider." Dark mist gathered in Miler's eyes once again.

“No, I have Ella, that’s enough. Ella is beautiful and capable. What can you do?” Arthur’s mother glanced at him briefly.

A sword from his mother pierced Arthur's chest with a soft thud. No wonder she's his mother; she doesn't hold back at all when stabbing her own son.

"Baby, my mom doesn't love me anymore. I didn't know love could transfer." Arthur tugged at Qin Baobao's sleeve, looking at her pitifully, as if begging for comfort and a pat.

"Kill him, rip out his heart, and you'll get everything you want." The seductive voice kept echoing in Miler's mind.

“Cut out his heart and win over the goddess sister.” Watching their joyful scene, Miler’s eyes changed from confusion to determination, and the black mist completely entered his eyes.

Tana had already gotten up and was helping Arthur's mother prepare breakfast. Qin Baobao ignored Arthur, greeted Tana, and sat down alone at the table, saying, "Little mute, come and eat."

Finally called upon, Miler sat happily next to Qin Baobao. Her smiling face held no darkness or malice, only pure and innocent naivety. "Baby, I can talk now. My name is Miler."

I finally told her!

A wide smile spread across Miler's face; clearly, he was delighted that he could speak. Qin Baobao glanced at him in surprise, not expecting that her lucky child could speak after just two days of good fortune.

"This is great news! Let's celebrate with a barbecue at noon!"

"We're going to war with the vampires in three days. Shouldn't you be getting ready, baby?" Arthur glanced at Miller and sat down on Qin Baobao's other side. He didn't want Baobao to pay attention to anyone else, especially this person in front of her.

These past two days, the most discussed topic in the city has been the Battle of Muye, which will take place in three days. No one is optimistic about this war between the two races. Arthur is very worried about it and contacted the city lord early this morning, believing the lord will arrive soon.

“I’m going alone this time. The situation is dangerous, and I can’t afford to be distracted to protect you. Staying in Angel City is the best protection you can give me.” At worst, I can hide in my spatial dimension.

However, the best defense is offense, and Qinghong's speed is beyond question. If nothing unexpected happens, this will be a one-sided massacre.

To avoid holding them back, the group stopped mentioning wanting to come along. Their brows furrowed, their expressions growing even more worried; after all, it was the entire vampire clan.

"Trust me, okay? Half a day? No! One hour, I'll be back in one hour. Killing vampires is very simple, I don't even need to lift a finger, I just need to watch."

"Host, I think you're becoming more and more humane. You used to never explain things to others." The little system tilted its bird head and glanced at Qin Baobao. "Have you been infected with a virus?"

Just as Qin Baobao was thinking about this, the little system sent her an inquiry.

Is this toxic? Does he think everyone is like him, a machine?

After dinner, Qin Baobao was taking a walk in the courtyard to digest her food when City Lord Kalin came looking for her.

"You're planning to go alone in three days?"

"Ah."

“I disagree. You’re facing an entire race, a group of powerful vampires. You can’t fight them all alone…” Kalin looked at Qin Baobao’s determined eyes and couldn’t continue. “How confident are you?”

"Ten percent."

"Alright! Don't worry about things in the city. I'll take good care of your family. Be careful too!"

"Thank you!"

“I should thank you! You are our hero, a true goddess!” Kalin knelt on one knee and performed a standard half-bow, just like when they first met.

Qin Baobao stood still, accepting the bow without flinching. For her, it was just a small act of kindness, but she had truly saved everyone.

“Although you don’t need it, I will still send 5000 people with you. They represent humanity, and I can’t let you fight alone.”

Qin Baobao opened her mouth, as if to say something, but Kalin raised his hand to stop her. "They are fighting for humanity! Even if they die there, they will not have any complaints."
