The following team competition will be divided into two matches.
Su Lan played in the first half and easily won the game.
Without Su Lan's appearance in the second half, Mingzhu Academy managed to hold off for a while, but ultimately lost.
Thus concludes the exchange competition between the British Empire and the Pearl Academy.
However, while the student-level exchanges have concluded, the exchanges for teachers and academics will continue, and the British delegation will not return home immediately.
The teachers in the exchange group gave the young students a half-day holiday so they could explore Shanghai.
Su Lan accepted Eileen's invitation and began showing Eileen around Shanghai that afternoon.
Eileen, a newcomer to Shanghai, was very interested in everything she saw and heard.
She found the Hanfu culture of Daxia particularly interesting, especially when Eileen, dressed in Hanfu, appeared in front of Su Lan.
Even with Su Lan's extensive knowledge, he couldn't help but admire Eileen's exotic charm after she put on Hanfu, which made him feel moved.
He made his decision.
Go back and let Serafina, Ye Xinxia, and Tang Yue all try it.
Is it pretty?
Wearing a purple Hanfu, Eileen twirled in front of Su Lan, her face making no attempt to hide her love for Hanfu.
When the classical aesthetics of the Great Xia Dynasty are combined with the exotic beauties of Western Europe, the resulting chemical reaction is beyond Su Lan's imagination.
Even the female shop assistant who helped with the fitting was so shocked she couldn't speak.
Indeed, purple is quite charming.
"nice!"
Su Lan gave it a positive evaluation.
Eileen, who had tried on several sets, did not stop, but continued to try on other styles of Hanfu.
And if she sees something she likes, Eileen will have the shop assistant pack it up herself.
His ostentatious display of wealth drew the attention of the female shop assistant.
To avoid attracting more attention, Eileen ultimately did not leave wearing Hanfu directly. Instead, she bought dozens of different Hanfu and had them delivered to her hotel.
Then the two wandered off to other places.
As night deepened, Eileen, having tasted the true delicacies of Daxia, was leisurely walking back to the hotel with Su Lan, a satisfied look on her face, holding a string of candied hawthorns.
In just one day, Eileen's feelings for Su Lan were rapidly growing.
In Shanghai, Eileen no longer needs to maintain the heavy etiquette and dignity of the Victorian aristocracy in informal settings.
You might even encounter friends with whom you can interact on equal footing, who no longer seek personal gain based on your status.
For once, Eileen no longer acted like a princess, but rather like a girl next door, full of youthful energy.
"Su Lan, I'm so happy today! I didn't expect there to be so many fun places and so many unique delicacies here."
Throughout the journey, Eileen chattered incessantly, her smile never fading.
"I'm already looking forward to your arrival at the British Isles, where I'll take you to see its most famous sights."
At this point, Eileen's eyes shone with an unprecedented light.
Seeing Eileen's happy expression, Su Lan suddenly thought of the famous dish of the British Empire, "Looking Up at the Stars," and felt a pang of toothache.
Suddenly, Su Lan seemed to hear something, her gaze shifting forward while her peripheral vision swept around her surroundings.
At the same time, the figure in Eileen's shadow trembled slightly.
"It seems that we might see some unique programs before you go back, Eileen."
"Right now, people are eager to perform for us."
"What's the meaning?"
As Su Lan finished speaking, and amidst Eileen's slightly puzzled expression, pairs of crimson eyes suddenly appeared all around.
Those pairs of crimson eyes stared intently at Eileen and Su Lan, as if they were watching their prey, filled with greed and bloodlust.
Especially in the corner where there are no streetlights, a rather imposing figure is quietly appearing.
Seeing this scene, Eileen's smile slowly disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression.
At the same time, the female guard who had been hiding in Eileen's shadow and had not appeared in front of anyone all day immediately appeared in front of Eileen.
She looked solemnly at the person hidden in the darkness ahead, whose only feature was a pair of blood-red eyes.
At the same time, he glanced at Su Lan next to Eileen out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing that the other person remained calm and showed no sign of worry, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.
She wasn't too worried that Su Lan would hurt Eileen. After all, if Su Lan really had bad intentions, he would have had countless opportunities to do so throughout the day.
But Su Lan didn't.
She naturally wouldn't be too wary of Su Lan.
"Your Highness, be careful. This strong, dark, and bloody aura belongs to the vampire clan."
"Their target is Your Highness!"
Upon hearing that she was from the vampire clan, Eileen frowned, her previous happiness vanished, replaced by disgust and murderous intent in her eyes.
At this moment, Eileen's gaze was sharp, her eyes lowered as she looked at the blood-red eyes in front of her that made no attempt to conceal their malice, her expression cold.
"Hehehe, I never thought that even the esteemed princess could be so careless. Do you really think that guard by your side could stop them?"
A figure slowly emerged from the darkness and appeared under the light.
The newcomer was pale-faced, with typical Western features, and wore a blood-red robe that covered his entire body.
Blood-red eyes contrasted against the almost snow-white panel, and long, blood-sucking fangs protruded from the corners of its mouth.
As for Su Lan, who was standing next to Eileen, she was nothing more than an ant in the eyes of the vampire.
It was something I did casually.
Su Lan raised an eyebrow at the vampire who appeared before her.
This was the first time he had ever seen a vampire.
Vampires are also known as bloodsuckers.
Vampires are no longer considered a human race; they are demonized humans, and can be directly compared to demons.
Vampires are a unique demon race in the West.
Their method of racial expansion differs from that of most demons, which require reproduction.
They can transform humans into vampires directly through the Embrace, or through evil blood altar rituals.
Of course, what Su Lan cared about most was the vampire's strength—
Grand Monarch level!
Unbeknownst to many, a demon of the highest rank, has infiltrated Shanghai!
It is important to know that Shanghai has a very special demon-sensing array.
Weaker demons might not be able to sense it.
However, it is almost impossible for a high-ranking demon to escape detection.
Fortunately, through Serafina's hint, Su Lan learned why this Grand Monarch-level creature was able to conceal its presence and infiltrate the Demon Capital.
That is, the demon in front of us possesses special abilities.
When used, this ability can almost completely conceal one's aura and evade sensory arrays.
At the very least, humans or demons of the same class would not be able to detect the other's existence before the other revealed themselves.
Of course, if the vampire is of a higher or greater class, he has no way to hide.
This includes Serafina.
Serafina noticed the vampire's presence this afternoon.
However, she only informed Su Lan, and Su Lan did not make a fuss.
He wanted to know what the vampire was planning to do after sneaking in.
Moreover, with Serafina by his side, things are not yet out of control for a mere Grand Monarch-level vampire.
