Unbeknownst to her, this was nothing short of the ultimate tease for him.
Ah. Once again, as the storm raged, the transformed Pureblood seemed as if she could never break free from it all. After being caught in this absurdity time and time again, Zhi Yue Fei Ying found herself nestled in Yuhun Gu's embrace, her mind drifting away from sleep.
"Yuhun Gu, what would you do if I never wanted to be with you?"
His fangs brushed threateningly against her shoulder, as if he had no voice to express his thoughts.
Zhi Yue Fei Ying pretended to grip Yuhun Gu's throat, her tone fierce. "Speak! Tell me everything that's on your mind!"
Yuhun Gu smiled indulgently, allowing her to act out. "Before I answer that question, let me ask you one first. You used that human's blood to mitigate the damage from the Pure Blood Gene—have you considered the consequences of that?"
"What consequences?" Zhi Yue Fei Ying asked, somewhat bewildered.
Yuhun Gu gently caressed the unhealable mandala on her bare back, his dark red eyes clouded with complexity. "If Pureblood were truly so easy to manage, there wouldn’t only be you in the history of our kind. If you hadn’t drunk my blood earlier, counting the days, your Pureblood backlash would have occurred within these few days. You will need to consume a significant amount of that human's blood again to soothe the power of Pureblood."
"But therein lies the problem: that human's lifespan is vastly different from yours. Even if you forcibly turned her into a vampire to extend her life, her blood would become ineffective for you once she becomes a true vampire. What then?"
Zhi Yue Fei Ying widened her eyes in shock. "So it’s true; everything is part of your scheme! That book in your room was intentionally left for me to see. You knew I was sent by Shen Le Qi, and you were aware of my ambitions. You deliberately allowed everything to unfold."
"In the Vampire Clan war, it seems like you’re completely being troubled by Shen Le Qi, but in reality, you foresaw everything long ago. You know that after losing Jing You for Pureblood, I can only rely on consuming your blood to survive. You set this trap for me so that I couldn't escape you."
"Yuhun Gu, you're too wicked; you're simply a scoundrel! I should have stabbed you with Shang Wu back then!"
"Don't say things in anger; we both know that between Shen Le Qi and me, one of us must die—and it won't be me."
Zhi Yue Fei Ying retorted angrily, "What gives you the right to be so certain?"
"Because it's all about control," he replied calmly. "I chose a path for you that you would inevitably take; from beginning to end, I merely laid out the road before your eyes—it was you who walked it."
"Yun Zhi Yue, our lives are long, and I can accompany you. When you grow weary, we can embrace Eternal Sleep together, preserving our vibrant memories. Being with me will bring you happiness."
Zhi Yue Fei Ying was taken aback. "Are you saying that if I tire of you, you would give up living to join me in Eternal Sleep?"
"Yes," he replied softly. "I have lived long enough, and the world has gradually turned gray in my eyes. It was you who burst into this unchanging world, bringing vivid colors back to my life. I want to hold onto you, so I have done much. Yun Zhi Yue, I cannot promise to love you endlessly, but I assure you, my coffin will always have a place for you."
The heart of the blood clan, which had long ceased to beat, seemed to skip a beat.
Zhi Yue Fei Ying thought that the phrase "my coffin will have you" was perhaps the most romantic promise a blood clan member could make. It wasn't just about love; it was about the sentiment behind Yuhun Gu's words. In this lifetime, she could take him along for the ride—after all, who could resist a target that was charming in every life?
She giggled and sat on Yuhun Gu's waist, pulling back the covers to reveal her body marked with traces of their passion.
With a flirtatious yet slightly haughty demeanor, she asked, "Do you still have the strength for more?"
Who could resist such a challenge?
No one could withstand Yuhun Gu's resolve; the melodious sounds of their shared joy filled the room, lingering long into the night.
