"As long as I mention a few words at the High Progenitor Council..."
Ferid was getting a bit ahead of himself.
Krul revealed an equally relaxed smile.
"What did you say? I didn't hear you."
Ferid was just about to repeat what he had said.
"I said, as long as I take this matter—"
He was met with another roundhouse kick from a smiling Krul!
This time Ferid didn't fall to the ground; instead, he landed a short distance away after two backflips.
Krul followed closely behind.
Ferid couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly.
"Did I go too far?"
He then took a stance, preparing to fight Krul, and Krul had the same intention.
She had wanted to teach this guy a lesson for a long time!
As soon as they clashed, Krul ducked under Ferid's attack and cleanly severed his entire right arm.
Immediately after, she kicked Ferid in the head again, knocking him to the ground. Then, she pinned his neck with her foot, rendering him unable to move, and asked:
"I didn't hear clearly. Could you say that again?"
The victor was clear at a glance.
Ferid could still smile, giving an irrelevant answer.
"How cruel, Krul. Although the arm can be reattached, it really hurts the moment it's cut off."
Krul gave a kind smile as she watched Ferid play the fool.
"Shall I just cut off your neck like this as well?"
In the end, Ferid compromised, indicating he wouldn't pry any further.
Ferid picked up his arm from the ground and left, not forgetting to annoy Krul before departing.
"I'll be back, Krul, because I like you the most~"
...Krul crouched beside Luke, looking surprised.
"Oh, Luke, how did you end up like this?"
Luke was still barely conscious and replied half-jokingly.
"The ground is nice and cool."
"Is that so? Then I'm leaving."
Luke:?
This isn't the right script! Shouldn't you ask if I want to live, I refuse sternly, and then you turn me into a Vampire regardless of my opinion?!
Krul noticed the slight twitch in the corner of Luke's mouth and wore a mischievous smirk.
"Just kidding! Hey, brat, do you want to live?"
Given Krul's performance just now, Luke didn't dare to be stubborn anymore. He struggled to put on a dazed expression and asked:
"Can I still live in this state?"
Luke's stomach had truly been pierced through by Ferid, even more severely than Mika's in the original work.
Krul feigned surprise, lightly covering her mouth.
"Oh, I thought you'd be very principled and refuse quite bluntly."
Luke gave a sheepish smile.
"Life is priceless, after all."
Krul looked at the wound on Luke's stomach.
"Oh? That adventurous spirit of yours isn't suited for saying such things~"
Then Krul's tone shifted.
"You can't die yet. I will make you an immortal Vampire. Afterwards, I'll have plenty of ways to punish you for trying to escape."
With that, Krul bit her lip, leaned down, and forcibly kissed Luke, who had no strength to resist.
Of course, even if he had the strength, he wouldn't have resisted.
As the cool, moist lips pressed against Luke's, his brain stalled for a moment, followed by a wild surge of adrenaline.
I actually get the same treatment as Mika in the original work!
A stream of metallic, sweet blood flowed into Luke's mouth. He could feel his body undergoing an incredible transformation.
Ferid, I won't curse you anymore; this fatal wound was perfectly timed! If possible, please do it again!
After a while, Krul stood up and casually wiped the remaining blood from the corner of her mouth.
"After drinking your blood so many times, I didn't expect there would be a time when you'd drink mine."
Luke felt his entire body enveloped in a warm current. Krul's blood didn't flow into his stomach but instead permeated his blood vessels, transforming his own blood.
Granulation tissue grew at Luke's wound, and in the blink of an eye, it was as good as new, with the new skin being even more delicate and fair.
A pair of fangs grew out, his ears became pointed, and the pupils in his mysterious purple eyes turned into slits. Combined with the purple irises, this made Luke's gaze even sharper!
Luke's breathing was no longer labored, gradually becoming steady. Injuries that would be fatal for a human healed within a few breaths after Luke became a Vampire.
Krul observed the changes in Luke.
He had become more handsome.
But Vampires didn't care much for that; after all, it was common knowledge that Vampires didn't lack beauties.
Since it was Luke's first time being a Vampire, he found it somewhat novel.
First was the change in appearance, gaining Vampire traits, and then there was the power.
Luke clenched his fists; he felt that he was currently in his strongest state ever.
Even his human self wielding a Demonic Sword could be easily taken down by his current self.
Krul waved to the three Vampires standing by and pointed at the unconscious Mika.
"Lock him up. No one is to see him without my order. If you want to live, keep your mouths shut."
"Yes!"
These three Lower-ranking Vampires hurriedly ran off with Mika.
They had wanted to slip away for a long time, fearing Krul would silence them. After all, they had overheard the conversation between Krul and Ferid, but without Krul's permission, they didn't dare to act on their own.
Krul turned her head back to Luke, a kind smile on her face.
"Well? Now that you've been fully revived, do you want to try escaping, or will you come back with me obediently? Look, the exit gate is right over there. I think your chances are quite good~"
Luke shuddered, waving his hands and shaking his head like a rattle.
"It's a misunderstanding, Princess Krul! I never thought about running away!"
Krul didn't believe him at all, looking at him as if he were a fool.
"Then tell me, why are you here, and why did you get into a fight with Ferid?"
Just as Luke was about to answer, Krul interrupted him.
"If you say you came for a walk, you'll die~"
"Uh... what about the excuse of being lost?"
Krul was somewhat speechless.
You know it's an excuse!
Krul didn't want to deal with Luke anymore. She believed he wouldn't dare escape again, so she started walking toward the palace on her own.
Luke saw Krul roll her eyes, but he didn't care. He gave a couple of fake laughs and followed silently behind her.
Luke touched his still slightly reddened lips, reminiscing about the feel of Krul's lips.
For Vampires, there was no such thing as "men and women should not touch." Sex had no meaning for Vampires at all.
Since Vampires had nearly infinite lifespans, they didn't need to worry about offspring. Moreover, expanding the Vampire race was very simple: they just needed to have humans drink Vampire blood.
So Luke didn't make a big deal out of Krul forcibly kissing him; he was never one to be over-sentimental.
But this didn't mean Vampires were completely devoid of emotion; their feelings were just not as delicate or rich compared to humans.
