The vampire heiress is two-faced

...

"Lingxi...you're back..."

She moved, falling into Ye Liuli's arms, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"hug me."

...

Ye Liuli bit her lip painfully, trying to suppress the trembling in her body.

She couldn't bear it and whispered in the Queen's ear:

“Little Hilly. I’m not Lingxi… I’m Xiaoli.”

The silver-haired vampire queen trembled slightly.

She raised her head, her lifeless and empty dark red eyes staring blankly in the direction where Ye Liuli was no longer present.

She seemed...to be unable to see anything.

"You are not... Lingxi..."

Ye Liuli nodded: "Yes, I'm Xiaoli."

...

The vampire queen fell silent again.

After a long silence, she asked, word by word:

"Xiao...Li? Who is that?"

"I...can't remember..."

Her voice grew softer and softer, and then her body went limp, and she fell into a deep sleep in Ye Liuli's arms.

She closed her eyes wearily, as if her words had exhausted her last bit of strength.

"..."

“Lingxi…”

The once elegant and powerful vampire queen is now like a withered leaf on its deathbed, as if a gust of wind could blow her away.

Everyone remained silent, unable to speak for a long time.

They all saw it...

The Eternal Queen, who ruled the vampires for thousands of years, is no longer eternal.

Chapter 127 Disregard

Ye Liuli carried the vampire queen back to her bedroom, placed her on the bed, and covered her with a blanket.

"She used to sleep in the 'Black Coffin' that was custom-made for her. Since moving here, she has also started to adapt to human beds."

"She...she..."

Snapped!

Ludwig patted Ye Liuli on the shoulder.

"Alright. Stop crying and whining, you're getting more and more like a child. Now you're the captain of the vampire's intelligence organization... no longer the innocent little girl you used to be."

Ludwig smiled at her, offering words of comfort.

"Is Her Majesty alright for now? Then let's not disturb her rest. We're still waiting for you to explain the whole story to us."

Ye Liuli snorted.

"You don't need to lecture me. I really lost my temper. After all... they've all left me, and now I'm all alone."

"...Let's go outside."

...

...

...

Although vampires are not afraid of the cold, they still prefer warmth.

Warmth, on the other hand, mostly means light and fire...

The stone fireplace in the log cabin is shielded from flames by a specially designed filter, so even when it reignites, it still keeps the small living room dimly lit.

After all, vampires have always been afraid of light.

...

The dormitory door was tightly closed, and the six people in the living room sat around the stone stove.

The atmosphere was so heavy it was almost suffocating, but no one dared to break the silence.

Ye Liuli fiddled with the charcoal. Thanks to the near-stopping of time here, this charcoal had been burning for several years in terms of outside time.

However, since no one adds fuel to the fireplace, the charcoal gradually goes out as it burns beyond the ashes.

The black-haired girl raised her head, her eyes slightly red.

Although she had stopped crying, the despair, pain, and exhaustion in her eyes were still evident.

"You've all seen it. The vampire queen is no longer a queen. She's weakened to the point of being like a...walking corpse. How is she any different from dead now?"

"This eternal paradise should have been a place where the three of us could enjoy ourselves forever... but now... it's nothing more than a large 'life support device' that keeps her alive and allows her to linger on."

Yin Shang asked, "What exactly happened to her?"

Ye Liuli sighed softly.

"This is a long story. And I don't want to talk about it now..."

"I know you are all eager to know the real reason. But please give me some time to think about...the matter of Lingxi..."

"...How should I explain this to her?"

Ye Liuli raised her head, her blood-red pupils glowing red.

"But let's clear up your doubts first and tell you about her current physical condition."

"The vampires have always known very little about this aloof and proud queen, and dared not try to learn more."

Although she was a progenitor of the vampire race, she was unlike any other vampire. Her soul had long been devoured by darkness, and the will that governed her body was a pure energy entity composed of dark power.

Coco asked in surprise, "Is she...is she also a spirit?"

Ye Liuli shook her head.

“The will composed of dark energy bodies and the will composed of souls are, in the end, very similar forms of ‘self’, which are very different from the spirit of the artifact.”

"She is not only a pure vampire, but also a pure dark monster, even more so than Lingxi."

"This means that she is actually more afraid than any other vampire of... anything that can counter the power of darkness. But for a long time, any power that can fight against darkness—even the Holy Light—has not aroused even the slightest interest in her unfathomable strength."

"But several years ago, someone still managed to take advantage of her vulnerability, obtaining her unsuspecting body and forcibly injecting her with a modified blood energy..."

"That blood energy, mixed with the 'plague' power of the Apocalypse, once caused her to lose control, transforming her into a wild beast. But she regained consciousness, suppressed the blood energy, and her body returned to normal. After we finally defeated the Pope, this little incident was quickly forgotten..."

Ye Liuli stamped her foot in regret.

"If only we had discovered it sooner... but by the time we found out, it was too late!"

"That damned Plague Knight, even in death, doesn't bring us peace. The experimental plague serum he created contained unknown components capable of disrupting and reorganizing the structure of dark energy..."

"Even though Little Hilly suppressed it at the time, it had already gradually destroyed the dark structure within her body without our noticing, eroding her consciousness and causing her to gradually fall apart..."

"Just like a poison that damages human DNA, if no antidote is found, the only outcome is death in extreme pain."

"Lingxi poured all her efforts into creating this paradise, hoping to delay her illness and improve her mood, but her condition was already out of control. Even with a significant slowdown in time, in just over a year, she has become like this..."

"Her death was imminent, but there was nothing we could do. As a result, Lingxi nearly went mad..."

"In the end, just like little Hilly, she succumbed to this toxin that can destroy dark energy..."

Yin Shang's temples throbbed, and he gritted his teeth:

"Speyer... Corporation!! I knew there was nothing good in that Drake Building!"

Ye Liuli said wistfully:

"So what if we know it's them? Without her, Lingxi alone is no match for such a behemoth... And now, Lingxi too..."

Ludwig processed this information rapidly, but she still noticed a blind spot and asked:

"But Miss Ye, you just mentioned the 'real reason,' aren't all of these the reasons why she became like this?"

...

Ye Liuli lowered her voice again and nodded:

"...Um."

“I have said more than once that this eternal paradise was created to please her. Before this, she had no more attachment to this world and was heartbroken.”

"As for the 'real reason'... let's put it aside for now."

Ye Liuli stood up.

"I need to take care of Lingxi's funeral arrangements. Now, please rest here for the time being. You must all be exhausted after the disaster at the snow mountain."

"The basement ice storage contains a large number of blood plasma bags and regular food, enough for everyone to have a hearty meal. The third floor of the cabin has two guest rooms. There aren't many rooms, so please make yourselves at home."

The black-haired girl left the living room; her departing figure was so lonely and forlorn.

Only five people remained in the hall. Undoubtedly, Yin Shang and Solid would be staying together, while Ludwig and Ruoko would naturally have to take care of Lochina.

"Sister... Sister Lulu..."

Lochina was heartbroken, wiping her swollen, red eyes.

"That's another Queen Mother, the vampire queen. Why... why has she become so strange too..."

　"The Queen of Lingxi told me that she is very elegant and powerful, and that she would definitely be very gentle to me... But how could she be like the Queen of Lingxi... Sister Liuli said that she is sick... very sick."

...

Ruo Keke, who was standing to the side, patted Luo Qina's head.

"Alright, alright, Princess Lochina. Your sisters will definitely find a way to cure the Queen..."

"Is that right, young lady?"

...

“What if it can’t be cured?”

In truth, that's what Ludwig wanted to say. But she had to consider Lochina's feelings, so she nodded against her true intentions.

Lingxi's efforts have all failed; curing the vampire queen is probably unrealistic in the short term... Before she completely collapses, the vampire clan will likely be beyond saving.

Ludwig had already made her choice.

She believed it was the best choice.

She looked at the tightly closed dormitory door, a cold glint in her eyes.

"The vampire clan, unchanged for thousands of years..."

"It's time for a change."

Chapter 128 Dependents

miscellaneous items next to the wooden house

Inside the room, a small area had been cleared out to make room for the remains of the vampire princess.

She lay there quietly, as peacefully as if she were asleep.

...

Ye Liuli was once a nun in a church.

Churches often have occasions where the bodies of deceased believers need to be taken away, and therefore, in order to comfort the souls of the departed and to bid farewell to the body, she also acquired knowledge of handling the funeral arrangements...

But she could never have imagined that one day she would use this knowledge on her closest relatives.

“Lingxi…”
