Bai Li fell to the ground, and the king on the other side was in no better shape, with some bruises on his body as well.

"I refuse to believe I can't wake you up!"

Tzuyu cut her hand and let him suck her blood, hoping to make him more aware of his situation.

"Why save him? You yourself won't live much longer! Is it all because of some fate?" She looked at the two people on the ground, puzzled.

"Why did you save me?"

Bai Li regained her senses and became much more lucid.

"Who told you not to stay? Now look what happened, you've been made a puppet!"

Ziyu helped the injured man up and flew towards her castle. The blood artifact disappeared after they left, leaving the king standing there with a sinister look on his face.

"You're all a bunch of useless trash! You're completely worthless! You can't even handle a female vampire, what use are you to me?"

"Where's that little girl? Go and get her back! Find a powerful vampire to give her her first embrace."

The king sat angrily on his throne, and the vampire clan leaders below him dared not utter a sound, fearing they too would suffer and become his scapegoats! The clan leaders and vampires they had sent the other day were all quite powerful, but...

"Please calm down, Your Majesty. This has been going on for a while now. We will do our best to find that child."

An elderly vampire patriarch stepped forward and said calmly, "Everyone witnessed what happened back then, so it's no wonder that Xiao Wang ran away from this clan."

Outside the castle, Youyou waited anxiously at the door.

"Your Majesty, you've finally returned."

Youyou took Bai Li from her and helped him into the hall, then took the medicine box and bandaged his wounds.

"Take good care of him, I have things to do."

After Tzuyu finished speaking, she took a shower, changed her clothes, and went out.

Inside the orphanage, a group of children were playing and frolicking, while Feng Xi had just arrived and had not yet integrated into their group.

"Hey—what's your name?"

A little boy kicked a soccer ball to her side, then ran over to pick it up. Holding the ball, he proudly looked down at her with his little face upturned.

"Get lost! Don't mess with me!"

Without looking up, Feng Xi got up and walked towards the guardhouse of the orphanage, sitting quietly on a bench as if she were waiting for someone.

Am I being naughty? Does the King hate me? How can I go back? Feng Xi lay on the bench, swinging her short legs in a daze.

"Yes, Dean, it's this little girl!"

"We are so sorry to have troubled you with taking care of her recently. We will take her back."

A vampire sheathed his fangs and donned ordinary human attire, looking completely indistinguishable from a normal person. His obsequious smile was so thick it almost formed wrinkles, making him resemble a kind old grandfather. It was as if the child had genuinely been lost due to forgetfulness and sent to an orphanage by a kind soul.

"You're welcome, it's what we should do!"

The dean handed the simple materials to the old man and helped him walk toward where the children were playing.

After asking the group of children, he helped him walk towards the guardhouse.

"Xixi, Grandpa has come to take you home!"

As the old man spoke, he reached for Fengxi's small hand, but grasped at nothing.

"Who are you? I don't know you!"

Feng Xi jumped up and hid behind the dean. The dean frowned in displeasure, while the old man pretended to have tears in his eyes and put on an act.

"Xixi, don't be stubborn, I'm your grandpa! Come on—come home with me."

The old man looked at her with blurry eyes, waved to her, and his eyes flickered slightly towards her.

"That's right, little Fengxi, you must listen to your grandfather."

The dean pulled her away from him and pushed her toward the old man.

"it is good."

Feng Xi's eyes flickered slightly, and she walked towards the old man like a puppet on a string, her eyes lifeless.

"Thank you so much, we'll be going now."

The old man took Fengxi's hand and walked out of the courtyard.

......

Ziyu was still late. After talking with the dean, she didn't think much of it and slowly walked towards her castle with her umbrella.

"Your Majesty, what brings you out here?"

Youyou took the umbrella from her hand.

“I originally wanted to bring the child back, but I was afraid that the vampires would have other ideas about her.”

“I’m relieved that her grandfather took her away. It’s better than her staying with us.”

Ziyu was so tired that she lay down on the sofa. She had taken the child back from them and knew very little about the child's relationship, so she had no suspicions.

"Your Majesty, can't you think about yourself? Why are you worrying about these irrelevant people!"

Although Youyou's words were somewhat harsh, they were meant for her own good. After all, Youyou had seen what she was like before—trained by her family as a killing machine, devoid of any emotion! She had finally escaped, yet she couldn't even live for herself! Why should she care about others?

"...Youyou! How is that boy?"

"The injury shouldn't be too serious, right?"

Ziyu knew that Youyou was saying this for her own good, but she still didn't like being controlled. Although she didn't kill the boy, she beat him quite badly, and she wasn't entirely sure what she was doing.

"He received your first embrace, so his physical abilities have already improved a lot. He can definitely take a beating!"

Youyou said irritably, then ignored her and turned to busy herself in the kitchen.

"Wow, you woke up so quickly?"

"Tell me about your background, so I can decide whether or not to keep you here!"

Ziyu sat up abruptly, crossed her legs, and watched him as he was holding onto the handrail to go down the stairs.

"Let me slow down!"

Bai Li also sat on the sofa opposite her, leaned back, and looked up at the crystal chandelier and the ceiling.

"Your Majesty, dinner is ready!"

Youyou peeked at her.

"Let's eat first."

Ziyu led him into the restaurant, pulled out a chair for him at the table, and gestured for him to sit down. Then she pulled out two more chairs and sat down in one of them herself.

"Don't you vampires drink blood? How come you also have a appetite?"

Bai Li asked curiously.

"Uh...the rumor is wrong!"

Tzuyu was no longer willing to explain, so she rolled her eyes at him, indicating that she didn't want to talk to him.
