The vampire heiress is two-faced

Then, the rune shattered in a flash of dazzling light.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!"

...

Hiliott's eyes widened, and she shouted with all her might:

"That's... cough cough cough—"

"No...don't go near her...!"

Ye Liuli and Ruo Keke, who wanted to help Ludwig up, were stopped and at a loss.

Coco asked in alarm, "What's wrong, Miss?!"

Hiliott struggled to sit up: "She...she—cough!"

Hilliot coughed violently, and Ye Liuli could only keep gently patting her back.

"Little Hilly, don't rush, speak slowly!"

...

"Cough cough... I knew it, back in Kane's basement... a headache... something was wrong..."

"Ludwig's memories... have been sealed... by a restriction..."

"She saw the truth...so...the sealed and hidden memories...regained her..."

"...All of my past as a human being..."

"Don't...make any rash moves...otherwise...she..."

Hiliott's voice grew weaker and weaker, then her head lolled to the side and she fainted.

Although her condition was much better than before, the shock of this sudden event, coupled with the fact that she had just completed the consciousness transfer ritual, left her with a weakened will and spirit that prevented her from remaining conscious.

...

The silver-haired vampire girl, Ludwig, was sitting on the ground, her body radiating the strange and violent power unique to vampires—blood energy.

But clearly, this blood energy wasn't her [Moonshadow Witch] or [Temporarily Remaining in This Moment]. This violent energy was a gift from the former vampire queen, a unique and powerful blood energy that remained within her body—a gift unparalleled in this world.

[Queen's Power]!

The shock of learning the truth severely impacted her mental state, forcibly breaking the seal on her memories... The awakened memories surged into her mind, the sheer volume of information causing her consciousness to become chaotic, further preventing her soul from reuniting with her body...

This chain reaction caused her consciousness to fail to control the three blood energies within her body in time, ultimately leading to the current situation—

"Ugh—my head hurts so much!"

Ye Liuli and Ruo Keke fell to the ground, the rapidly spreading uncontrolled blood energy affecting their consciousness.

The Queen's power can control the will of the vampires. Once it gets out of control like this, unless they are powerful high-ranking vampires, they will find it difficult to maintain their own will!

hum-

Under the impact of the out-of-control blood energy, their consciousness began to dissipate, and Ye Liuli struggled to help Ruo Keke up.

"Let's go outside..."

"No!" Ruo Keke shook her head. "Young Miss... is in danger! I have to help her... Ah!"

If Coco falls to the ground again, her fading consciousness will make it difficult for her to stand.

Ye Liuli sighed: "Don't be stubborn!"

hum-

They all opened their eyes wide in unison:

"What... there's... something in my mind..."

The Queen's power is essentially a powerful spiritual blood energy, and it seems that as it spiraled out of control, it also projected Ludwig's chaotic consciousness...

As a result, the two people, now under mental control, were forced to see numerous fragmented pieces of memory...

Although they were disorganized, they were closely connected. They flashed through their minds, forming a long scroll like a revolving lantern, "playing" vivid scenes in their minds.

They saw everything Ludwig had seen.

At that moment, in the basement deep within the castle, the silver-haired girl opened Kane's dusty diary.

A little-known past was also unearthed at that time, revealing the past and future of the silver-haired girl.

...

...

...

A white-haired man paced back and forth in the cramped basement.

After a moment, he raised his head, his anxious, bloodshot eyes looking at the calendar on the wall.

July 10, 1914

"Things can change, and man-made disasters are unpredictable..."

This vampire named Kane has lived alone in this castle for over four hundred years.

He waited indefinitely for the return of one person, his one and only Queen.

Yes--

"There's no time left, my queen...where are you?"

"Under the persecution of the Church, the survival of the vampire race is already hanging by a thread..."

"The human world today, with its fragile order on the verge of collapse, is just waiting for a spark to ignite it, and this world, already burdened with problems, will be engulfed in flames..."

"..."

"Tsk."

"Please forgive me, my queen."

He opened the drawer, unraveled several complex mechanisms, and finally retrieved a bottle of bright red liquid from an inner compartment.

Kane gently swirled the liquid in the bottle. Even after four hundred years, it still retained its original color, remaining as vibrant, as vivid, and as bright red as ever.

...

"The fate of the vampire race has now been sealed. I will spare no effort to save your vampire clan..."

Even if I were to commit a further crime of deceiving the emperor against you.

The "Black Coffin" used by the vampire queen for hibernation was crafted by Kane himself, so even the vampire queen couldn't detect the tampering he made with it.

After all, he is the Chief Craftsman of the Vampire Clan.

Kane had anticipated that the vampire queen would fall further into the human trap. Therefore, before she was sent to human territory while she was in slumber, Kane used the "little hands and feet" on the black coffin to extract the vampire queen's "essence blood".

The precious blood essence that could perpetuate the Queen's bloodline and create her only kin... fell into Kane's hands more than four hundred years ago.

That foolish and absurd deal was nothing more than a lie told by the Church—a fact the Queen couldn't possibly be unaware of, yet she still readily accepted it, exchanging her own escaping into the Black Coffin to hibernate for the freedom of the vampires' will...

Not all vampires can remain in the cold, lonely darkness, watching over humanity like the Queen. Therefore, it was entirely expected that she would be swayed by public opinion and make a deal with the Church.

The Vampire Queen will use this opportunity to let the vampires see through the ugly nature of humanity. When she returns in the future, she will regain control of the vampires and eliminate her opponents. The remaining vampires will completely abandon the idea of ​​coexisting with humans, allowing the vampires to continue in the darkness far removed from humanity.

This should have been her foolproof plan... but now the vampires have suffered for hundreds of years... no matter how the vampires call to her as before, she no longer responds.

Kane eventually accepted the fact that the vampire queen had disappeared.

She disappeared in the far east, her fate unknown.

The return of the vampire queen seems a long way off.

...

Now, a haggard and anxious Kane stared at the bottle of precious, bright red liquid, knelt down, and solemnly bowed to it.

This precious bottle of queen's blood, after being kept hidden for four hundred years, is finally about to find its home.

Chapter 152 Jin'er

The early 20th century was a chaotic and turbulent time.

At that time, the distant East was also a chaotic world.

The old dynasty is about to collapse, but a new era is still far from dawn...

The Yang family, a wealthy and influential family of Confucian merchants in Jiangnan, is said to have originated from the southern barbarian lands. As a result, the Yang family members look slightly different from the people of the Central Plains in Jiangnan, and are much shorter than the surrounding townspeople.

For this reason, the only daughter born to the wealthy merchant Yang and his wife was petite, delicate, and beautiful, making her all the more endearing.

In the small town of Jiangnan, there were quite a few people from the southern barbarian lands, but people at that time had a very bad impression of the appearance of the so-called "southerners". Although the merchant Yang was born with an extraordinary bearing, his height of less than five feet was often ridiculed by other merchants.

Thus, when the eldest daughter of the Yang family came of age, everyone who attended her birthday banquet was amazed by her beauty. In the following days, marriage proposals and engagement letters poured in. In order not to offend anyone, the wealthy merchant Yang had to spend ten to fifteen days replying to each letter to politely decline, before the farce finally came to an end.

And it was after that that the Yang family suddenly fell into silence for several months, and all business transactions quietly came to a halt.

The people in the small town in Jiangnan didn't think much of it, because they understood what the wealthy merchant Yang was thinking...

In chaotic times, a girl as beautiful as her is undoubtedly in great danger. If she is not careful, she may be killed by powerful people, bandits, or even warlords, bringing disaster upon her family.

Following this farcical marriage proposal, rumors circulated in the town that government troops were about to visit the small Jiangnan town. Soon after, Yang, the wealthy merchant, realized the seriousness of the situation.

Therefore, just as the townspeople had expected, on a dark and windy night, this wealthy merchant Yang disappeared into the night with his wife and daughter.

The Yang family mansion had already been sold to a friend, and overnight, the Yang family of three disappeared without a trace.

Although the gossipy townspeople had guessed most of the reasons for the Yang family's escape, the real reason that led this wealthy merchant to decide to flee was...

"Jin'er, the carriage is bumpy, can you handle it?"

The Yang family's daughter, sitting next to her father, looked up and smiled gently at him.

"I can handle it. Although I feel unwell, I won't be seriously injured by the jolting of the carriage."

Mr. Yang smiled and patted her head.

“Very good, very good…”

Yang, standing to the side, gently stroked her daughter's black hair and retied it, which had been disheveled by the carriage ride.

"Oh, how could my child have contracted such a disease..."

Yang's gaze fell on the beginning of her daughter's black hair, the back of her head—

Her newly grown hair was a dazzling gold...

...

Since the night she turned 18, her newly grown hair has turned golden.

At first, Mr. and Mrs. Yang did not pay attention to it, but as her health suddenly deteriorated, they had to take this strange thing seriously.

In less than a month, the once healthy daughter became bedridden, and even the best doctors in the city could not diagnose her condition.

Yang Fushang initially believed that she was possessed by a ghost, but when he saw the shamans trying to burn his daughter with fire tongs, he abandoned the idea of ​​"exorcising the ghost".

Now, one-fifth of her hair is dyed a strange gold color, and her condition is becoming increasingly uncontrollable. Considering that the war will soon spread to the small town in Jiangnan, Yang Fushang made the painful decision to abandon part of his family business and flee with his wife and daughters to the land of Bashu, heading to the natural stronghold of Chongchuan, which has been easy to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times.

Only by ensuring her safety can he devote all his efforts to treating her illness.

However, his daughter's mysterious illness was not the biggest reason for Mr. Yang's anxiety...

His daughter would henceforth be under strict protection, and would be forbidden from having any contact with anyone except her parents, tutor, and doctor.

This means that she will be alone during her adolescence, the most important stage of her life.

"But this is for her own good, the mother of the child."

"Sigh, we really need to spend more time with her... what if she gets mentally ill too..."

As it turned out, Yang's concerns were not unfounded.

...

The eldest daughter of the Yang family, named Yang Jin'er, was kept under strict protection in the compound after arriving at her new home in Chongchuan City.

The secrecy was so tight that very few people knew that this wealthy businessman surnamed Yang had a daughter.

Undoubtedly, this "caged bird" lifestyle is extremely unhealthy for her mental health.
