Chapter 220 It smells so good, can I drink your blood?
It's a full moon again.
Tonight seems no different from the previous times.
As was customary, Tronos would always spend the night alone in his room.
However, just before going upstairs today, he seemed to suddenly remember something and called out to Lin Shuwan, pointing to the similar bracelets they wore on their hands: "By the way, do you still remember how to use this?"
Lin Shuwan was puzzled as to why he suddenly brought this up, but she still honestly replied, "Yeah, pressing three times lets you know each other's location, why?"
"It's nothing. If you need anything, just call me anytime." Tronos gently patted her head and then turned to go upstairs.
"Just say what you're saying, why are you slapping your head?"
Lin Shuwan angrily punched the air behind him, then comforted herself, "Fine, for today's sake, I won't hold it against you, hmph."
After flipping through some miscellaneous books and wandering aimlessly around the room, I had nothing else to do.
Since she couldn't offer any real help, she simply went upstairs and stayed quietly in her room to avoid causing any trouble.
In the middle of the night, she was already fast asleep when she was suddenly awakened by a thought in her mind that kept urging her to go out for a walk.
Once I woke up, I couldn't fall back asleep.
He tossed and turned in bed for a while, then grabbed his hair in frustration and got up to leave the room.
As she passed Tronos's room, she probably intended to knock to let him know, but she raised her hand and then lowered it again.
After thinking about it, she decided against it and went out for a walk. She would be back soon, as he wasn't having a good day anyway, so it was best not to bother him.
Once she opened the door and stepped outside, she regretted it. She wanted to go back, but her feet wouldn't obey her commands, and she just kept walking in one direction.
It was already pitch black at night, and the dense forest was always eerie and gloomy. Plus, my body wasn't under my control. This was a really terrible experience.
Only after leaving the Misty Forest did I finally regain control of my body.
“Aurora, it’s been a long time. I wonder if you still remember me?” Draven said with a smile as he emerged from the shadows.
"Draven! It's you. What are you doing here?" Lin Shuwan took two steps back warily when she saw the person who came.
"I have something to discuss with you." Draven strolled over leisurely, slowly approaching.
"Wh-what is it?"
Lin Shuwan slowly backed away, then suddenly feigned surprise and called out to Draven, "Tronos, you're here!"
Seeing Drevin looking back, Lin Shuwan seized the opportunity to run back.
Having been tricked, Draven wasn't annoyed. He slowly turned around, and seeing that she hadn't run far enough, he waited a little longer before saying, "Come back."
Lin Shuwan, who had already run a hundred meters away, suddenly returned to him on her own.
Lin Shuwan struggled and said, "Draven, what have you done? Let me go!"
"what did I do?"
Draven didn't answer, but instead pinched her chin and looked her over carefully from side to side, clicking his tongue and saying, "Look at this face, it's even more beautiful than when I first saw you. Who do you think did all this to do?"
"And just now, he was able to run a hundred meters in the blink of an eye. Whose achievement was that?"
“Oh, right.” Draven pulled her face close and whispered in her ear:
"I almost forgot, humans aren't the ones who crave immortality the most. Look, you can live as long as the heavens with ease now. Who gave you that, Aurora? Don't be ungrateful."
"Pah!" Lin Shuwan turned her head and spat at him. "Don't talk like you've done me some great favor. If I hadn't been unexpectedly embraced by Chu Yong and escaped in time, you would have sucked me dry!"
Draven's hand tightened suddenly on her chin, his smile vanished, and a hint of hostility appeared on his face:
"I haven't even started arguing with you yet, but you've already brought it up. In that case, before we get anything done, we should settle some interest with you first."
After saying that, Draven was about to suck the blood from her neck.
"Get out of my way!" For some reason, Lin Shuwan suddenly regained her ability to move after struggling, slapped him, and then distanced herself from him.
"Interesting, it managed to escape my control."
With a sudden thought, Draven grabbed Lin Shuwan's neck again: "Could it be that using the blood of the Witch Clan has indeed enhanced your bloodline? This makes me even more eager to taste your blood."
Just as he was about to make a move, the vigilance that had always saved his life kicked in, and he grabbed Lin Shuwan by the neck and pulled her back.
A scorch mark was visible on the ground where the two of them had just stood.
"Tronos, what brings you here?" Lin Shuwan was both surprised and delighted, but then, remembering that the moon was full today, she looked at him with concern.
"I remember reminding you before going upstairs, but when that little vampire got into trouble, he didn't even call me."
Tronos walked out unhurriedly, gave Lin Shuwan a reassuring look, and then said to Draven, "Release her, and the one hiding in the shadows, don't hide anymore, come out too."
The Duchess, Eve, could no longer hide. She glared at Draven after she came out, saying in a bad mood, "I told you before not to waste your time, lest you cause trouble. Now look what's happened, don't make me pay with my life."
“I think it’s perfect, it saves us the trouble of going there ourselves.”
Although Draven was still somewhat afraid of Tronos's strength, seeing that Tronos had specifically come looking for him and that Lin Shuwan was still in his hands, he felt somewhat confident.
“If he hadn’t come, I was worried that this matter wouldn’t have worked out. Now that he’s here, we can make the decisions.”
"Hey, what are you plotting right in front of us?!" Lin Shuwan struggled to break free from the control.
"Calm down!"
Draven tightened her grip on her neck and said to Tronos, "I've been watching you for a while now. It's truly an eye-opener that a witch would willingly offer her blood to a vampire."
"In that case, why don't we try it too? By all accounts, Aurora is my child, so why not show her some respect to me?"
"Keep dreaming. I'm nothing in his eyes. Be careful you don't end up losing your life instead of getting the blood." Lin Shuwan pretended to distance herself from Tronos, but her eyes repeatedly signaled Tronos to leave quickly.
"If it were really nothing, given this guy's personality, I would have been dead long ago. How could I still be here having anything to say to him?"
Draven appeared to be chatting casually with Lin Shuwan, but in reality, he was subtly threatening Tronos, saying, "Now that you're in my hands, if he wants to kill me, I'll definitely take you with me. Let's see who dies first."
"So what do you want?" The night concealed the expression on Tronos's face, and his voice alone revealed no emotion.
“Eve,” Draven called out, and she threw a dagger.
The dagger traced a twisting arc in the air before crashing onto the muddy ground, its blade gleaming faintly.
Draven wore a perfectly measured smile, his lips slightly upturned, looking easygoing. He drawled, "Our request isn't much; we just want you to draw some blood with the dagger we gave you."
