Vampire Empire

Ah~~~~

Little Selene tilted her head back, closed her eyes, and opened her mouth wide, eagerly waiting for Chen Mo to give her a piece of candy.

It's just a pity she guessed wrong.

A drop of bright red blood dripped from Chen Mo's fingertip into Selene's open mouth. Selena felt something enter her mouth and quickly closed her mouth and licked her tongue, but the familiar taste in her mouth told her that it was not sugar, but blood.

Opening her eyes in confusion, Selene saw Chen Mo withdrawing his hand, with a trace of bright red blood on the tip of one finger.

Feeling cheated, little Selene pouted and glared angrily at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo, ignoring Selene's displeasure as she stared at him with her big eyes, lowered his head and carefully observed her changes.

After drinking a drop of Chen Mo's blood, Selene's puffed-up face visibly changed from pale to rosy, returning to the natural state Chen Mo had when they first met in the workshop.

Clearly, the "Pure Blood" originating from Chen Mo has taken effect.

Chen Mo didn't dare let little Selene test the sunlight first. Instead, he put his finger, which had just been pricked and still had a trace of blood, to her lips.

"Open your mouth."

This time, little Selene wasn't going to listen to Chen Mo, the Lord. She pouted and turned her head away, ignoring Chen Mo.

"A piece of candy."

The temptation of her favorite candy made little Selene lick her lips, but the still somewhat angry little girl stubbornly snorted and turned her head away, refusing to pay attention to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.

Two pieces.

Now little Selene was a bit conflicted. She turned her head and hesitated as she looked at the fingers in front of her, but still refused to open her mouth.

"Ten yuan."

Chen Mo's voice carried a sense of absolute confidence; knowing the little one as he did, he knew she would be irresistible to so much candy.

Just as Chen Mo expected, upon hearing Chen Mo's exorbitant price of ten candies, little Selene swallowed hard, tilted her head back and opened her mouth without hesitation, her two crescent-shaped eyes filled with joyful delight.

Ten candies! Should I eat one a day, or eat them all at once?

So much! I'm so happy!

Amelia, watching this scene from the side, couldn't help but smile. What a shameless little glutton!

Chen Mo squeezed another drop of blood into Selene's mouth. This time, little Selene frowned and quickly closed her mouth. If it weren't for the ten candies Chen Mo had promised, she would have spat out the blood long ago.

Chen Mo looked at her furrowed brows and asked with a smile.

What does it taste like?

Little Selene said with a look of disgust.

"It's salty and has a fishy taste, it doesn't taste good!"

After saying that, she herself was a little confused. The first drop of blood she drank just now tasted good, so why did it taste bad this time?

Hearing Selene's answer, Chen Mo was finally relieved. It was clear that she had now regained her normal sense of taste for blood and was no longer dependent on it. His "Pure Blood" had really worked.

With this proof, coupled with the change in Selene's skin color, Chen Mo was no longer too worried about the upcoming sun exposure experiment.

Chen Mo led little Selene to the window and gently pulled back the curtains a little to let in a sliver of sunlight.

Seeing the golden sunlight, little Selene was overjoyed. She hadn't seen the sun in a very long time. The adults usually wouldn't let her go outside, and there was never a ray of sunlight in the Castle. She had almost forgotten what it felt like to have the sun shining on her.

Selene couldn't help but take two steps closer to the bright sunlight, carefully observing how it slanted across the floor.

Seeing that Amelia, Chen Mo to the side, did not stop her, little Selene gently stretched out her small hand and placed it in the sunlight.

There was no intense, burning pain like that the adults had told her about; the sunlight shone on her fair little hands, bringing only warmth and brightness.

Standing behind him, Chen Mo finally felt completely relieved. It seemed that his Pure Blood was no different from Alexander Corvinus's, and his feeling was correct.

His body has been completely transformed by the Pure Blood, becoming an immortal body. His own body produces the purest Pure Blood.

"My Lord, you're lying! Sunbathing doesn't hurt at all!"

Little Selene shook her little hand, which was in the sunlight, and looked up at Chen Mo angrily.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo smiled slightly, reached out and pulled open the curtains, letting the sunlight stream in through the window.

The once dark and cold study was instantly filled with sunlight, becoming bright and clear, and also warmer.

The sudden increase in brightness made little Selene uncomfortable, so she quickly covered her eyes with her hands. After a while, when she got used to it, she tentatively put her hands down, squinted, and tiptoed to look out the window.

However, she was too short. No matter how hard she tried to stand on tiptoe, her head was always shorter than the windowsill, so she could never see outside.

Seeing her flushed face, Chen Mo smiled slightly, stepped forward, and picked her up in his arms.

Little Selene sat on Chen Mo's bent arm, with one arm around Chen Mo's neck, excitedly craning her neck to look out the window.

Chen Mo's study is located on the main building of Blackrock Castle. Through the window, one can see the sturdy Castle, the tall city walls, and the vast plains in the distance.

The green grass and trees, the vast blue sky, and the fluffy white clouds filled Selene with joy.

Having spent several years in the Castle without seeing the sun, she had long forgotten what the outside world looked like. Seeing it now filled her with the same excitement and joy as if it were the first time.

"The sun used to burn you, but it won't anymore. You can play freely in the sun now."

"And you don't have to drink blood anymore, you can eat whatever you want as before."

Upon hearing this, Selene clapped her hands happily, wriggled around to get Chen Mo to put her down, and excitedly rushed out of the study towards the stairs, seemingly eager to go outside and have some fun.

Amelia was a little worried, so she bowed to Chen Mo and quickly followed him.

A slight smile played on Chen Mo's lips as he returned to his desk and sat down.

The remaining vial of Pure Blood on the table gleamed crimson in the sunlight.

Alexander Corvinus recovered quickly. Chen Mo carefully controlled the amount of blood drawn, knowing that losing that blood would only make him temporarily weak and would not be life-threatening. With his strong physique, he would recover quickly.

After Chen Mo completed his own evolution, some of the large amount of blood extracted from him remained. Chen Mo used it to strengthen all the remaining members of the Knights and the craftsmen in the workshop, completely eliminating the vampire's original flaws.

After drinking a drop of blood bestowed by Chen Mo, the Knight cheered and removed their helmets, enjoying the warm sunshine while silently reciting Chen Mo's name in their hearts.

The artisans and their families from the workshop happily emerged from the cave and knelt in devout prayer towards the Castle, thanking Chen Mo for granting them power and immortality, and for helping them regain their lost light.

It has to be said that Alexander Corvinus was quite lucky. If the blood extracted earlier was not enough to support Chen Mo's evolution, Chen Mo would definitely continue to extract Pure Blood from him until the final evolution was completed.

Now that Chen Mo has successfully evolved, all the vampires under his command have also gotten rid of their fear of sunlight and dependence on blood. He has finally ended his fate of being drained of blood and no longer has to be a blood guzzler.

Having obtained the Pure Blood and successfully evolved into an immortal body, Chen Mo had exceeded his ultimate goal in coming to this world, but he was not in a hurry to leave.

Now Chen Mo possesses true Eternal Life, and time has no meaning for him. A year, ten years, or even a hundred years are just numbers to him, so why rush it?

Moreover, he still has many things to do.

At this time, the entire Europe continent was completely under Chen Mo's rule. From the Atlantic Ocean coast in the west to the Ural Mountains in the east, the vast land in between had all become Chen Mo's territory, and all the common people on this land had become his subjects.

It would be somewhat inappropriate to call him Lord at this point.

Three months later, Chen Mo, the ruler of the Europe continent, officially ascended the throne in Blackrock Castle and established a powerful empire spanning the entire continent of Europe.

Andrew, Amelia, Victor, and Marcus were awarded the highest rank of Gold Knight in the Temple Knights and made dukes, each granted a vast land as their fief.

Of course, this is only their public identity. In the Vampire Empire created by Chen Mo, which is unknown to ordinary humans, the four of them will serve as the four elders of the vampire clan, managing the entire vampire clan for Chen Mo.

Thanks to the transformation by the Pure Blood, vampires no longer need to become mummies and enter a dormant state to enhance their power, as depicted in the movies.

Like Alexander Corvinus, their strength will naturally increase over time, although the rate of improvement is very slow.

Alexander Corvinus, the earliest undead, lived for hundreds of years, and his strength was only six times that of an ordinary human. He was only twice as strong as an ordinary vampire, who had three times the physical strength of an ordinary human. Of course, this was enough for him to crush ordinary vampires.

In fact, after being transformed by the Pure Blood and freed from their dependence on blood, they can no longer be called vampires. However, they still retain the echolocation ability of bats, so Chen Mo thinks it would be more appropriate to call them Batman.
