The Vampire Prince’s Blood Slave (103)
Arthur smiled self-deprecatingly. Why did he expect her to answer.
But soon, she said in a hushed voice, “En, I hate them, I hate vampires…”
Arthur couldn’t even muster a smile.
Because tomorrow, he would be turning her into a Blood Kin.
She hesitated, then continued: “But I don’t hate you…”
The words were too soft, as though she’d murmured to herself.
But Arthur’s keen ears caught them.
He blinked, and his hands held her tighter.
Bai Weiwei sighed: “But we aren’t meant to be. I’m a member of the Alliance and a human.”
Was she so obsessed with her identity as a human?
Arthur impulsively asked, “What if I let you become a Blood Kin?”
Bai Weiwei froze up. After a long while, he heard her say: “I will die. Vampires will burn to ashes in fire. I heard that they don’t even have a soul.”
Arthur’s pupils shrank.
He had thought that turning her into a Blood Kin would be a final solution, but he never thought that she would commit suicide.
He pinched her chin. Just as the threat on his lips were about to fall–
He stopped.
Silent streams of tears flowed down Bai Weiwei’s face.
Her face clearly lacked any expression, but this tearstained fragility contained extreme sorrow.
One that sank deep into the bones.
He was so uncomfortable he curled in on himself.
Arthur opened his mouth and took a deep breath, but this human-like action didn’t make him feel much better.
It merely made him inhale her scent.
Suddenly, he pressed the back of her head and buried her face in his arms.
“How can you treat me this way. I feed you and serve you, and you have the cheek to cry? Go to sleep.”
Bai Weiwei choked in discomfort, but she still lay obediently in his arms, not speaking.
Arthur thought of tomorrow’s First Embrace.
For the first time, his conviction was greatly shaken.
He had clearly wanted to cut off her retreat, but now he didn’t dare.
He was completely unable to process this tangle of emotions, his reluctance to let go.
“How can I make you willing to become a Blood Kin and stay by my side?”
He couldn’t help but spit out all the grievances in his heart.
Bai Weiwei paused for a moment before answering softly, “Maybe, on the day that humans and vampires can coexist, I can devote all my love to you and protect you.”
This wish was more difficult than asking him to die.
Arthur pulled his lips into a sneer. “Keep dreaming.”
She didn’t answer. After a long silence, he realized that she had quietly closed her eyes, crying herself to sleep.
The cruel violence in Arthur’s eyes was washed away.
In its place was fragile tenderness.
He reached out and gently wiped away the tears on her face.
“Why can’t you like me more, isn’t it better not to care about humans?
“They pushed you out to save their own lives, why do you still side with humans?
“I’m clearly better than them…”
【Ding! Male lead’s favorability: 85.】
When Bai Weiwei woke up the next day, Arthur was gone.
She asked the system and was told that Arthur had gone to the dungeons to “visit” those poor Anti-Vampire Alliance people.
She thought of the scent Lewis had left on her.
Arthur couldn’t have left early in the morning to kill the “adulterer,” right?
Bai Weiwei looked up at the green bar above her head and couldn’t help tugging her hair. “I won’t end up exploding, right??”
There was no other world that was this difficult to complete.
The main system was getting more and more terrible.
System: “I’ll clean up your remains.”
The main system didn’t punish it this time. It felt especially relieved.
Bai Weiwei expressed that she did not want to speak and raised her middle finger to the system.
At noon, Bai Weiwei was still pondering how to increase the green bar when she suddenly noticed–
The green bar had shot up, reaching 70% in one fell swoop.
Bai Weiwei: “?”
Just as she was about to ask the system.
Outside, there was an imposing figure swiftly approaching.
It was Arthur. He shrugged off his black coat and tossed it to a maid.
Then he came to her and saw that she was seated. The lunch in front of her was barely touched.
He frowned. “Not eating again. Did you think that if you went on a hunger strike, humans and Blood Kin could peacefully coexist?”
Bai Weiwei moved her fork with disinterest. “I’ve eaten. And it’s impossible for humans and Blood Kin to peacefully coexist.”
Arthur harrumphed, but he bent down and kissed her earlobe.
Bai Weiwei felt a bit itchy and was about to move away, but his next words made her stiffen.
“I released all the rebels.”
His voice was soft and calm, but full of a mighty and domineering nature.
“If I let humans and Blood Kin peacefully coexist… you, will you love me?”
