The Seventh Night Heartbreaking Date 3
Huang Mingxi and I followed the crowd upstairs, and no one spoke.
Liuli looked here and stopped there in front, and Huang Mingxi and I followed them, walking and stopping.
The nervousness at the beginning gradually became relaxed as time went by.
Huang Mingxi can always calm me down quickly.
I suddenly felt that this was not a bad idea.
Forcing a human to be friends with a vampire is really too much, right? I don't know if I am a complete vampire now.
Fortunately, I didn’t feel like going “crazy” afterwards, so I could still walk among the crowd with peace of mind.
It is precisely because I look very normal now that I have been eagerly hoping to restore the friendship between Huang Mingxi and me.
I didn't find the root of the problem.
And I understand now.
I am of the Bloodline, and Huang Mingxi is a human. Isn't there a saying that goes "Those who are not of my race must have different hearts"? Friendship across races is not that easy to establish, right?
At least I still have Liuli, this lovely "little friend", right?
Thinking of this, I feel much better.
Liuli and Ji Youran, who were "leading the way" in front, were having a lot of fun. I was also immersed in my own thoughts, so I didn't notice the changes around me.
It was Huang Mingxi who grabbed my arm and I was awakened from my thoughts.
There were no more people coming and going around, and under our feet was a flat plain. I looked behind me, but I could not see the end of the plain either - where were the stairs leading up the mountain?
And the two sides of the road, which should have been crowded with stalls, were actually empty.
Liuli grabbed Ji Youran's sleeve in fear and asked in a trembling voice, "Brother, where is this?"
A chilly atmosphere began to spread in the air.
Huang Mingxi released his hand that was holding my arm and his face became serious.
Ji Youran also stood in front of Liuli as a protector.
But I was unusually calm.
Suddenly, the sound of wind chimes was heard in the air, coming from far away.
"Who is it!" Ji Youran shouted.
The air in front of us began to distort, and soon it began to ripple like the surface of water.
A pale face seemed to tear through space, traveling through time and space from the other side of the ripples, and slowly emerged.
First, there was a face, then the long silver hair that fell to the waist, then a tall body, and finally, a silver-haired boy with a hood appeared in front of us.
His facial features were very cold, with sharp edges like a knife. His eyes were deep and sharp, and his whole body was filled with a dangerous aura.
I thought he looked familiar.
Moreover, he has an aura of "kindness".
"Bloodline!" My heart skipped a beat! I came up with the most likely answer.
The silver-haired boy raised his eyebrows, looked at me with a smile, and then glanced at Ji Youran and Huang Mingxi who were facing a formidable enemy.
"Blood descendant? They are the most despicable creatures in the world. How can I be a blood descendant?" He raised his right hand nonchalantly and looked it up and down, as if it was the rarest treasure in the world. He lowered his eyelids and said slowly, "As your predecessor, it is time to tell you what mission you are shouldering. After all..."
He glanced at Huang Mingxi meaningfully: "After all, it is really unbecoming for a hunter to live with the blood descendants who are his natural enemies."
I don’t know why, but I believed from the bottom of my heart every word this silver-haired boy said. However, my reason told me that if I continued to listen, perhaps something in my heart would collapse, such as friendship.
"Chaye, as the last hunter evolved from humans in this world, I have the obligation to guide you." He showed a cruel smile, "Now if you have any questions, you can ask me."
My heart was in turmoil. Some strange information suddenly connected in my mind. I couldn't help but ask, "Who are the blood descendants you are talking about? You said I was a hunter. What is a hunter?"
“Cha Ye! Don’t listen to his nonsense!” Ji Youran, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.
At this moment, his face was covered with sweat and his face was extremely pale, as if he was suffering from some invisible pain. Liuli behind him had already fainted. Huang Mingxi, who was closest to me, did not seem to have any problem. He neither looked at me nor at the silver-haired boy. He seemed to be thinking about something.
"He's just a Bloodline Count. He's not enough to confuse a Hunter who evolved with the help of 'Yu Linglong'." The silver-haired boy glanced at Ji Youran slowly and said, "Ms. Chaye, it seems that you must be guided. You can't even recognize the Bloodline. The three people around you, one is the Bloodline Count, one is a young Bloodline, and the other, hum, I can't tell his identity for now, he must be from a big family, but there is no doubt that he is also a Bloodline. As for the Hunter, he is the natural enemy of the Bloodline, the only existence in the world that can kill the Bloodline. Chaye, as long as you pass this 'guidance', you can become a real hunter. Before that, let me help you get rid of the 'hypnosis' that the Bloodline has released on you."
After saying that, without even asking for my opinion, he came straight in front of me and put his cold fingers on my forehead.
"Don't touch her with your dirty hands!" Huang Mingxi, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said, and pulled me aside the moment the silver-haired boy's hand touched my forehead.
But this brief contact was enough to bring back forgotten memories.
The silver-haired boy and Ji Youran who fought fiercely in the orange grove on the top of the mountain... Ji Youran who almost killed me... Ji Youran who lured me to the Rose Castle to find Huang Mingxi...
At the same time, some fragmentary heritage of hunters came to my mind.
No wonder there were indelible marks on Huang Mingxi’s wrist, it turned out that it was because I was a hunter. No matter how strong the blood descendants’ healing ability was, the scars inflicted by hunters on them were difficult to eliminate; no wonder I went “crazy” when Ji Youran showed hostility towards me, and when Huang Mingxi extracted “samples” from me, because I instinctively felt the sense of crisis from the “natural enemy”; no wonder Huang Mingxi suddenly drove me away, I couldn’t understand why he sent me to the bustling city center if he was guarding against me, it turned out that hunters can live in peace with humans and will not harm humans, but hunters can easily harm blood descendants.
So, he already knew that I was a hunter?
The reason why I became a "hunter" was all thanks to the silver-haired boy. The bead he fed me was called "Yu Linglong", which was the most precious treasure of the Blood Clan. Blood Clan could be resurrected by eating this treasure, but humans would become hunters - the natural enemy of Blood Clan if they ate it.
As information poured in, my head began to hurt so much that I covered my head in pain and fell into Huang Mingxi's arms.
"Why! Ji Youran! Why did you hypnotize me! And asked me to find Huang Mingxi!" Doesn't he know that I will hurt Huang Mingxi?
“Hehe…” Ji Youran laughed weakly, “The hunter is not as powerful as he said. The hunter who can kill the Blood Prince no longer exists in this world. And you, the hunter who evolved after eating Yu Linglong, are the only one who can threaten the master’s life. Rather than letting you slowly turn into a hunter where I can’t see you, it’s better to let you live with the master. The master is gentle and kind. After getting along for such a long time, I believe you can’t hurt him against your conscience, right?”
Yes, I absolutely do not want to hurt Huang Mingxi.
“Chaye, the master only found out the truth later. He has never done anything to let you down.” Ji Youran took a breath and said earnestly, “I beg you, please don’t do anything to hurt the master.”
Ah, is this the reason? That's why Ji Youran told me to remember how good Huang Mingxi was to me.
“Hahaha, what wishful thinking! Hunters and blood descendants are mortal enemies. No one can overcome the hatred engraved in their bones and blood! And the hunter who ate Yu Linglong is destined to be the mortal enemy of the blood prince!” The silver-haired boy laughed arrogantly, “So you are actually the prince of the blood clan. It’s really a piece of cake! For many years, we have visited all over the world just to find your trace, but we didn’t expect it! Hahaha!”
Huang Mingxi didn't care about what the silver-haired boy said. He stroked my hair gently and asked softly, "Are you feeling better?"
"Well..." There was a hint of sob in my voice.
Even though he knew I was his natural enemy, he was still so gentle to me.
"Why must the vampires and hunters be enemies?" I asked after my headache eased a little.
The silver-haired boy said impatiently: "How should I know why! This hostile relationship has been going on for a long time! You just need to obey the mission passed down in your blood!"
"Okay, let's start the 'guiding'! Catch this!" The silver-haired boy was no longer bothered to make any unnecessary explanations. He raised his hand and threw a shiny object over.
"Don't answer it!" Huang Mingxi stopped him anxiously.
But I had already spontaneously run over and caught that... palm-sized demon-subduing crystal.
Gorgeous patterns were wrapped around the surface of the crystal. As I held the demon-killing crystal, strange runes suddenly appeared in my mind and a faint chanting sounded in my ears.
"Kill him! Kill him!"
A crazy voice echoed in my mind, making my head hurt.
"No!" Realizing that the problem might be with the demon-subduing crystal, I immediately wanted to throw it away, but the crystal was stuck to my palm like it had taken root and there was no way to throw it away.
The echoes in my mind accumulated layer by layer, finally merging into a buzzing sound that made me dizzy.
My head was splitting and my limbs were gradually slipping away from my control.
"Cha Ye! Cheer up!" Huang Mingxi's voice came from far away, as if it were centuries away.
"Woo woo! I don't want to kill anyone! I don't want to! Huang Mingxi, save me!" My ears were filled with terrible curses, and I began to struggle and collapse.
Huang Mingxi! Huang Mingxi! Where are you! Come and save me!
"Tea night!"
"puff……"
"Tea……"
"Owner!"
The world suddenly became quiet. I opened my tightly closed eyes and found myself in Huang Mingxi's warm arms, with my hands tightly holding a demon-removing crystal.
A sharp blade as thin as a cicada's wing grew out of one end of the crystal. It was transparent and clear, and sparkled with a cold light.
One end of the crystal was in the palm of my hand, and the end with a blade sank into Huang Mingxi's chest.
"Hahaha! You've finally become a qualified hunter!"
The silver-haired boy laughed with relief.
My blood suddenly became so cold that it almost froze.
"No..." I didn't dare to move at all, for fear of accidentally causing secondary harm to Huang Mingxi.
Huang Mingxi still stroked my hair gently. His smile was so lovely, more precious than the most beautiful diamond in the world, but it was also so pale, revealing a hint of fragility that frightened me.
"Chaye, good boy, it's not your...fault..."
Huang Mingxi gradually loosened his arms around me and slowly fell to the ground. The blade stained with green blood also separated from Huang Mingxi's chest.
I loosened my hands woodenly, letting the demon-killing crystal fall to the hard ground and break into thousands of pieces.
My heart was broken into thousands of pieces.
No……
"No!" I screamed in despair.
The world was spinning before my eyes and I fell down next to Huang Mingxi with a bang.
