Outside the banquet hall.
Colleagues came and went around Li Xiao, but he remained silent.
He simply couldn’t bring himself to do it.
If he hadn’t witnessed it with his own eyes tonight, Li Xiao would have truly believed that the vampires here were like those in the movies of his past life, all handsome men and beautiful women… Vampires weren’t much different from humans; they varied in height and weight, some handsome, some ugly.
Unlike his colleagues who were indiscriminate in their desire for meat, Li Xiao still retained a sliver of moral compass as a human being… “At least I need to find a decent-looking vampire sister, otherwise, if I’m transformed by an ugly monster, I’m afraid I’ll have nightmares for the rest of my life.” Li Xiao shook his head inwardly, watching another colleague help a nearly 300-pound vampire man leave.
After being transformed into a vampire, even without ever advancing in rank, one would still have a lifespan of about three hundred years.
He didn’t want his brain to be attacked by disgusting memories for three hundred years.
Li Xiao stood quietly, watching one new colleague after another come and go.
Although they were all drunk vampires, it was impossible for them to be completely converted; they were just drunk, not puppets on strings.
Li Xiao, like a picky hunter, quietly waited for the perfect prey to appear.
Time quietly approached midnight… The number of vampires in the banquet hall had decreased considerably, leaving only the frenzied party vampires, still reveling tirelessly.
The door was pushed open again, and Li Xiao turned his head, a glint finally appearing in his calm gaze.
“Anna, you’re drunk.
Let me help you upstairs to rest.” A female vampire with black hair, an Asian face, and slightly furrowed brows, looked somewhat helpless.
She was helping a blonde vampire girl, her eyes glazed, pouting—clearly a drunk vampire.
“I’m not drunk…
I can still drink.
Jiaojiao, tell me why, why…
Father doesn’t approve of me being with Situ?
Why!” “Anna, you’re pureblood, Situ Hao is just…
just a mixed-blood.” “So what if he’s mixed-blood?
I don’t mind.
He saved my life.
I don’t care, I just love him.” The black-haired female vampire sighed and shook her head, clearly helpless.
She looked at Li Xiao: “Come here, help me help Miss Anna back to rest.” Seeing his target, Li Xiao didn’t hesitate.
He quickly stepped forward to help Anna up, giving his colleagues no chance to intervene.
Supporting Anna by the waist as they went upstairs, Li Xiao remembered that the manor was also named Anna, and immediately connected the dots.
“Anna Manor, Miss Anna?
Could she be the daughter of the manor’s owner?” Upon reaching the fourth floor, Li Xiao helped Anna, following the black-haired female vampire into the room.
Smelling the faint fragrance lingering in the room and observing its predominantly feminine style, Li Xiao already guessed who the room’s owner was.
If he wasn’t mistaken, it was Anna, who had been muttering incessantly the whole way.
Li Xiao’s coat had already been ripped off by the restless Anna.
Just as he reached the bedside, before he could react, the drunken Anna pushed him down onto the bed, still muttering.
“Situ, Situ, don’t go, stay with me…” The situation was sudden; Li Xiao hadn’t had time to react, was completely unprepared, and didn’t know how to respond.
His eyes pleaded for help as he looked at the black-haired vampire standing nearby.
To his surprise, the other woman didn’t even glance at Li Xiao.
A strange smile played on her lips as she gently patted Anna’s shoulder and whispered in her ear: “Anna, enjoy this.
Tomorrow you’ll see that you have so much more than a mere Situ.” Having said that, she stood up, her gaze lowered to Li Xiao: “Servant, serve Miss Anna well, and you’ll be rewarded.” Before Li Xiao could even ask how to serve her, the black-haired vampire had already vanished outside the door, slamming it shut with a bang.
Li Xiao turned his head, his gaze falling on Anna’s dazed eyes.
Her seemingly delicate body concealed a ferocious beast; her hands gripped him tightly like iron clamps, making it impossible to break free.
Knowing that the seemingly fragile vampire before him was actually a human-shaped beast, Li Xiao immediately gave up resisting.
“Miss, do as you please…
I’m fine with anything.” Her drunken red lips pressed against his, warm and smooth, under his hazy gaze.
Having lived two lives and never even touched a girl’s hand, Li Xiao couldn’t muster the courage to refuse.
The madness lasted a long time… a sharp pain shot through his neck.
Four fangs pierced his flesh, and with the aid of some force, blood seemed to be drawn away like a torrent by a magnet.
The expected chill of blood loss didn’t come; instead, Li Xiao felt a warm sensation, as if bathed in warm sunlight.
When the last drop of blood in his body was drained by Anna, who was clinging to him, Li Xiao’s pupils dilated, and the breath of life vanished.
Anna, blood trickling from her lips, her eyes glazed and unfocused, cupped Li Xiao’s face.
“Situ, Father said you’re a mixed-blood and not good enough for me, so I’ll drain your blood and replace it with mine.
Perhaps, perhaps this way… you can become pureblood.” As she spoke, a sickly look appeared on Anna’s face, and she bit down on Li Xiao’s neck again.
The essence of blood seeped into Li Xiao’s body through his sharp fangs.
His withered body, like a shark’s, frantically absorbed Anna’s essence of blood.
His dormant heart began to beat again.
His unfocused pupils regained the light of life.
His originally brown pupils gradually turned blood red.
His canine teeth fell out, replaced by four brand new fangs.
Li Xiao awoke from his eternal silence, sensing the changes in his body.
He knew that his human self had died, and what had awakened was a vampire named Li Xiao… Unexpectedly, he received Anna’s Embrace, not a transformation.
This meant that his potential and strength as a vampire would be greater, but the price to pay was equally high.
Before Li Xiao could even grapple with this master-servant relationship, a bloodthirsty urge surged through his brain.
Newborn vampires are always ravenously hungry; only after their first full meal can this primal bloodlust be suppressed by reason.
With his last vestige of rationality gone, Li Xiao was completely unaware of what happened next… The night faded, and sunlight once again illuminated the earth.
Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating Li Xiao’s sleeping eyes with a blinding intensity that jolted him awake.
Seeing the sunlight, Li Xiao instinctively tried to hide.
But his awakened reason prevented this foolish action.
Coming to his senses, Li Xiao remembered that this wasn’t Earth.
Vampires are impervious to sunlight, holy water, crosses, and garlic; none of these have any magical effect on them.
The memories of last night returned, and Li Xiao sat up, looking at Anna who was still fast asleep beside him.
Overwhelmed by bloodlust, he couldn’t remember what happened afterward… only vague memories remained.
Looking down at Anna’s bruised and battered appearance, Li Xiao roughly guessed that Miss Anna must have suffered a great deal last night.
Before Li Xiao could fully experience his vampire body, that… voice that had called out countless times in his midnight dreams appeared in his mind.
[Ding!
Extraordinary energy detected within the host’s body.] [Ding!
The Many Children, Many Blessings System activated.] [Ding!
The host will receive a reward for each bloodline offspring they possess.] [Ding!
Please work hard, host, to have many children and much blessing…] “System?!” Li Xiao was stunned for a moment, then, after recovering, he unleashed all the suffering he had endured for the past eighteen years.
“Eighteen years!
If you had awakened even a day earlier, would I have become so inhuman?
I…***********!” “**** ***** ***** ***” After this torrent of venting, Li Xiao gradually calmed down.
“I’ve been cursing for so long without a response.
Is it some kind of system without intelligence?” With this question in mind, Li Xiao tentatively called out a few more times, but still received no response.
“Well, that’s fine.
If it were sentient, I wouldn’t have to worry about it turning against me.” Confirming that the system lacked intelligence, Li Xiao casually opened the attached panel.
Host: Li Xiao Race: Low-Rank Vampire ‘Tier 1’ ‘Hybrid’ Realm: None Strength: C ‘Same Realm’ Constitution: C ‘Same Realm’ Agility: B ‘Same Realm’ Spirit: B ‘Same Realm’ Offspring: None Talents: [High-Speed Agility] [Spiritual Resistance] [Blood Regeneration] [Conversion] After reviewing the panel information, Li Xiao understood the advantages of the vampire race.
“Even hybrids can reach B-rank agility; if it were a pureblood, their agility would at least be A-rank, and their other attributes would certainly not be lower than B-rank, perhaps even higher.” Li Xiao knew about attributes; although he couldn’t see or touch them, he had learned about them in school.
Each race has different ‘innate’ talents, some strong, some weak.
For example, the average human race is D-C rank, while the average for hybrid vampires is C-B rank, and purebloods are even stronger at B-S rank.
As for even more powerful innate races, such as dragons, their talents would be even more outrageous.
The textbook clearly states that dragons have an average attribute range of S-SSS, making them an absolute top-tier bloodline.
Attribute abilities are extremely important; generally, at the same cultivation level, a dragon can easily defeat a hundred opponents.
Of course, this isn’t absolute.
The higher the cultivation level of an being, the higher its attributes will be, regardless of race.
The average attribute doesn’t represent the outstanding individuals within a race.
Among humans, there was an ‘Eighth-Order Sword Emperor’ who single-handedly fought three Demon Emperors of the Abyss Demon Clan and escaped unscathed!
The high-ranking demons of the Abyss all had attributes above A-rank, demonstrating the formidable strength of that ‘Sword Emperor’.
