...
"Ok?"
Lingxi squinted.
"Lying isn't something a good child does, you know?"
Lochina looked completely bewildered. She tried to explain to her mother why she had sneaked out to go to the battlefield.
Just as she was struggling to find the right words, her mother smiled slightly, brushed her bangs aside, and gently kissed her forehead.
Lochina was stunned: "Huh?"
...
"Okay, Mom isn't blaming you, and she didn't mean to scold you. How could I bear to scold my own flesh and blood?"
The blonde girl said with a smile.
"My dear daughter did something very brave and helped the vampires a lot. I'm overjoyed."
“But… my little Lochina, you’re still a young girl, still innocent and naive. There are many things that are meant for older brothers and sisters, and for adults like your mother to do.”
"I'm so glad you want to help. But you're still a vulnerable little girl, so you need to learn to protect yourself, okay? If anything happens to you again... I'll be so sad."
...
Lochina pursed her lips and nodded with mixed feelings.
"Yes... I understand, Mom. Don't be sad, I won't take any more risks."
Lingxi stroked her silver hair and smiled with satisfaction.
"Lochina, your future holds limitless possibilities. There is so much more you can achieve."
"And everything that Mom has... is you."
"Courage is precious, but life is more valuable. Little Rocinha, doesn't your mother also long for you to grow up quickly and become stronger?"
Lingxi smiled and brought her neck close to Luoqina's mouth.
"Come on, drink more of your mother's blood, it's good for your health."
Lingxi was wearing a nightgown, her fair neck completely exposed, making her incredibly alluring to vampires.
Lochina swallowed hard, her appetite whetted, and obeyed her mother without hesitation.
"hiss..."
Lingxi and Xiliote... can only support their daughters, Ludwig and Lochina, in this way now.
They felt they had no right to interfere with their daughters' future.
Now, these women, who are inseparable and of one heart, have all had their futures forcibly interfered with by external forces. After going through countless hardships, they have finally ushered in their own destiny.
At the very least, she wanted to prevent Lochina and Ludwig from repeating their mistakes—that was her only wish as a mother at that moment.
...

...
"My God...she really is an idiot!"
Yin Shang watched the video posted by the account "Vampire Xilulu" after it "came back from the dead" with a stiff expression. The result was... it was as if the words "I am the vampire queen" were written all over her face.
"I knew all the fuss at the castle preparing those electronic devices for her was for this. Seeing how she was trying to distance herself from her past, I thought she really didn't have a single thing to hold onto. Tsk..."
...
"But what does this have to do with you?"
Solid put her hands on her hips and snatched the phone from Yin Shang's hand.
"Looking at other women again, huh?"
Yin Shang was both amused and exasperated, and tried to snatch the phone back: "I've told you so many times, she's just my bad friend—"
Solid was as agile as a cat, and she didn't let Yin Shang touch her even once.
"Hmph, isn't that still another woman? Brother Yin is such a womanizer."
Yin Shang lunged forward, saying, "Don't be so black and white! You—"
Yin Shang suddenly tripped and fell towards Solid. Solid tried to dodge, but she also slipped.
"ah!"
puff-
The two coincidentally fell onto the bed, maintaining a subtle "bed-thump" position.
Solid snorted.
"Silly Brother Yin, I could tell you were just pretending to trip to change the subject, could I?"
Yin Shang was speechless: "What do you mean by pretending? I really did trip over it."
Solid waved her hand: "Oh well, I'm not being unreasonable."
She looked away and muttered to herself.
"I know that Brother Yin only has eyes for me. But I just feel really uncomfortable whenever I see him looking at someone else. Is this what they call jealousy?"
...
“Solid…”
Yin Shang didn't know how to respond.
Her pupils, normally a pale gold, are the distinctive eyes of a cat. Though unlike human eyes, they are more expressive and expressive than human eyes in conveying inner emotions.
She looked at Yin Shang, her bright cat-like eyes appearing dim.
"Brother Yin, I know this is wrong, because you can't keep looking at me like this. But... I just can't help feeling uncomfortable."
...
"For you, Solid, I'm willing to never look at anyone else again."
Yin Shang knew that he had nothing but revenge in his eyes, which led him to overlook the intense love that Solid poured out for him, ultimately resulting in tragedy.
Now, fate has given him the chance to reunite with Solid and fall in love. Faced with this devoted girl, Yin Shang has already made up his mind to spend the rest of his life making it up to her.
"...What nonsense are you talking about, Brother Yin?"
Solid looked at her with disdain.
"Although I listen to Brother Yin in everything, I shouldn't make promises that are obviously bad for Brother Yin's life, right?"
Her cheeks flushed slightly.
"It's still because I'm too weak-willed. I can't control my inner instincts..."
"..."
"..."
Both of them fell silent for a moment.
"Well... let's talk about changing the status quo after everything is over."
Yin Shang held her fingers tightly, gazing intently into her eyes.
"Now is not the time to think about those things."
"After everything settles down, I will prepare a grand wedding for you."
Solid paused for a moment, then a blush spread across her face and a happy smile appeared.
"..."
"it is good."
When that time comes, the two who have truly made an eternal pact will probably no longer be anxious about such trivial matters.
Yin Shang kissed her lips and teeth, and she in his arms did not resist at all, as docile as a cat.
Although now... their relationship is already that of an unmarried couple.
Chapter 233 Exploitation
"Time flies," and Ludwig's recuperation in the Pure Land was remarkably effective.
Her body was not healthy in any way due to years of lack of exercise; even though vampires have unparalleled physical qualities, they cannot withstand such torment.
Although the Queen's power has perfectly merged with her, preventing her from repeating the mistake of Hilliot being crushed by power... she has recklessly overdrawn her mental and physical strength, and her body's recovery and blood-making abilities have long been pushed to the limit and almost stopped, causing various bodily functions to go on strike.
Therefore, her recuperation involved restoring a regular routine and appropriate exercise, and receiving daily massages to various parts of her body with the help of Ruo Keke.
More than two months later, Ludwig was able to walk freely and no longer needed to be pushed around in a wheelchair by Coco.
"Hey, phew. You're in pretty good shape."
Ludwig moved her limbs and jumped around in place.
Thanks to Ruokeke's help in doing this and that, and with her regular schedule and daily exercise, Ludwig's discomfort has almost completely disappeared.
"Hmm, the day to leave is in a few days. Although I still prefer this leisurely life..."
Her pupils brightened slightly.
"But I am the Vampire Queen, no longer a girl who can waste her days. There are still many things waiting for me to do..."
However, after this incident, Ludwig also understood a principle: even a powerful and noble vampire queen can collapse from exhaustion due to excessive work. Only by stopping and resting from time to time can one reach the destination.
"You should take a break from time to time in the future."
Because Ludwig has never lacked money in her life, she has never had the concept of "work" and therefore does not understand the basic common sense of "work-life balance".
Rest allows the body and brain to be in better condition for work—Lucie, who is usually detached from worldly affairs, has finally grasped this concept, which is commendable.
...
Coco, I want to go...
"Ah, Coco is washing clothes."
Ludwig realized that if Coco was busy >@#
He tilted his head.
"I haven't been to the royal tombs much these past few days. I was thinking of asking Coco to go with me... but never mind. Going by myself is just as good."
...
Ludwig didn't just want to visit the royal tombs; she suddenly had a somewhat crazy idea.
But for vampires, these ideas are actually quite commonplace.
"Princess Lingxi's remains are still preserved in the temporary princely mausoleum. Her remains may..."
Ludwig traversed the deep underground canyon and followed the gradually widening path into the plaza avenue in front of the royal tomb.
The last time I came here was to save the critically ill former vampire queen, Hilliot.
Although Hiriote eventually escaped the clutches of the disease and unexpectedly "revived" Lingxi in her body, Lingxi's own body truly became an empty shell, buried in the temporary prince's mausoleum, awaiting proper burial in the future.
People cannot be brought back to life after death, so does that kind of spirit dwelling... truly count as resurrection?
Ludwig didn't care about any of that.
In the temporary prince's tomb, Ludwig snapped her fingers, and the coffin lid slid open.
The princess's remains were in worse condition than before, becoming indistinct and appearing as if they could be blown away in an instant. Even in the eternally pure land where time flows slowly, nothing could stop her body from gradually dissipating. Originally existing as a spirit, she had lost both her soul and her physical form; without a foundation to rely on, this ownerless body could only face the fate of disappearing.
"..."
"However, your body is still able to function."
"For the vampires...for me..."
"If I succeed, I will become stronger."
Ludwig pursed her lips, muttering to herself, and unconsciously clenched her fists.
If you are a flower that only knows how to cry in a greenhouse, you will never be able to keep what you cherish.
