Regarding My Reincarnation as a Vampire

Watching Xu Ziling's body tremble uncontrollably, Elysia was both shocked and delighted. She hurried over to ask what was wrong.

She was shocked because this European little brother seemed to have some kind of congenital disease, but delighted because if he happened to have an attack now, she would have a chance to turn him into a European big sister.

Of course, that was a matter for later. Right now, she had to make sure this European little brother was all right.

"Ziling, Ziling, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Elysia trotted over and hooked an arm around Xu Ziling's shoulders. Strangely enough, when her body blocked the sunlight from Xu Ziling, his trembling body actually calmed down somewhat.

Seeing this, Xu Ziling seemed to realize something as well. He quickly took a step back and retreated into the safety of the stairwell's shadows.

Sure enough, once he stopped coming into contact with the sunlight, the feeling of shivering uncontrollably, as though every cell in his body were about to die, vanished without a trace. That extraordinary, overwhelming strength once again filled his body.

Having confirmed his earlier guess through actual experience, Xu Ziling curled his lips into a bitter smile. He looked at the concerned Elysia, shrugged helplessly, and said:

"Sorry, Miss Elf, but it seems my body is a little... allergic to ultraviolet rays."

"Allergic to ultraviolet rays?"

Elysia blinked. As far as she could remember, she had never seen anyone with this kind of condition.

After scratching her head again, Elysia pulled a tube of sunscreen from her pocket and handed it to Xu Ziling.

"I do have some sunscreen here... Do you want to try it?"

"Thank you, Miss Elf, but sunscreen... probably won't work on me."

Xu Ziling shrugged helplessly. Things had already developed to this point, and he refused to believe there was nothing strange about it.

His tremendous strength, precise speed, enormous need for energy, identity as someone who had leaped out of a stone statue, and his fear of sunlight...

What the hell kind of Pillar Men starting setup is this?!

System, get out here and explain yourself!

[Uh... this seems to be a bug, but it also seems... like it was supposed to be this way?]

[Something like this... something like that... more or less... it seems... or maybe...]

[Wuwuwu! P-please don't get angry yet! I-I'll upgrade the system right now and try to make up for this shortcoming in the rewards for your subsequent main missions. Please don't throw me away, wuwu—]

Ding—

Accompanied by a faint chime inside his head, the system fell completely silent.

All that remained was a light screen floating in Xu Ziling's mind:

[System upgrading... 1%.]

Looking at the system that had rambled on by itself before scaring itself away, Xu Ziling could not help opening his mouth. For a moment, he was speechless.

No... I was just thinking that I never said I was going to blame you...

The good news was that he had transmigrated and gotten a system.

The bad news was that he had transmigrated and gotten a system.

After the corners of Xu Ziling's mouth twitched a few times, he truly had no idea how to deal with a system whose intelligence was practically on par with Deli-sha—the idiot. He could only hope that the main mission unlocked in a few days would not run into another mishap like this...

After shrugging helplessly, Xu Ziling looked at Elysia and said apologetically:

"Sorry, Miss Elysia, but given the current situation, it would probably be more suitable for me to stay at the doctor's laboratory..."

"Hmm..."

Elysia's eyes shifted. Although she understood the reason Xu Ziling wanted to do this, she had gone to all the trouble of knocking Mobius unconscious and sending Blanca away just to finally get some time alone with this incredibly cute boy—ahem, big sister. Asking her to give up at the very last moment simply was not in her nature.

An idea flashed through Elysia's mind. She hurriedly grabbed Xu Ziling's arm and smiled.

"Oh my, oh my, Ziling, don't rush off. Miss Elf went to so much trouble to prepare this meal. If you don't eat it soon, it'll spoil, you know?

"If you're allergic to ultraviolet rays... Hmm, ah! I've got it! Look, the sun is already about to set. It won't be long before the sunlight stops reaching this place! Eat dinner first, and tomorrow morning, how about letting Miss Elf use thick curtains to block the doors and windows for you?

"Don't worry~ Miss Elf is very warmhearted and won't charge you anything at all~"

Xu Ziling was not stupid.

Mobius, who had not yet woken up, and Blanca, who was still fuming, could both wait for this meal. So why would Elysia say it would spoil if they waited a little longer?

Then he noticed that although Elysia claimed she would not ask for any payment, she kept staring at his body, which was not a girl's but surpassed one in femininity. Her little scheme was practically written across Xu Ziling's face.

...Still, Xu Ziling had no reason to refuse a cute Miss Elf, did he?

"Then thank you, Miss Elysia."

Xu Ziling smiled and nodded, agreeing to Elysia's suggestion.

"Mm-hmm~?"

Elysia smiled and said:

"Oh my, Little Ziling, you keep calling me 'Miss'... It makes me feel embarrassed, you know? Since you're Doctor Mobius's friend, just call me Elysia, or Sister Ellie. You don't need to put 'Miss' in front of it.

"And now, your Sister Ellie is going to close the doors and windows for you, so Little Ziling doesn't get hurt... Mm-hmm~? How does that sound? Aren't you happy?"

Looking at Elysia's innocent yet earnest smile, Xu Ziling smiled helplessly. People said Elysia's words could easily move the heart, and now it seemed that was truly no exaggeration.

In the world Xu Ziling had lived in before transmigrating, he could not deny that beauty existed everywhere. But birds of a feather flocked together, and the people around Xu Ziling were mostly indifferent coworkers who had become numb from working for their boss's Ferrari. They had worn their masks for so long that even after transmigrating, Xu Ziling had been unable to take his off right away.

By comparison, Elysia was like a beam of pure, dazzling light. That untainted radiance could effortlessly shine into the hearts of every indifferent person and touch the softest place within them.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this purity that Elysia in the game had been able, at the end, to make countless fans weep for her.

Xu Ziling... was one of those countless fans as well. That would not easily change just because he had transmigrated.

Thus, Xu Ziling gave Elysia a knowing smile and said:

"Of course... Being cared for by Sister Ellie is an honor in life. Chongxie Elysia, I believe in Elysia."

"Elysia?"

Elysia blinked, apparently quite fond of the name. She had already raised both hands in a cheer as she smiled.

"I like that title! Mm-hmm~ Thank you for coming up with a fan name for me, Little Ziling! Miss Elf will now answer your expectations~

"Little Ziling, remember to stay here and don't wander off, okay? Once I've blocked all the doors and windows, I'll come back for you. See you later~"

With that, Elysia excitedly hopped out of the safety stairwell and began setting things up in the small building connected to the laboratory above.

Seeing this, Xu Ziling smiled knowingly. Elysia's enthusiasm was truly infectious. Once she had covered the windows of several rooms, Xu Ziling came out as well and helped in the rooms whose windows had already been blocked by curtains.

Blocking the doors and windows with some thick fabric was not difficult. Besides, it was getting late. Once the sun had set, Xu Ziling's movements became unrestricted. In less than half an hour, the two of them had finished arranging the entire three-story building.

Afterward, Elysia returned to the laboratory to check on Mobius and Blanca. The result was that the Serpent of the World's Herrscher had already gone into hibernation, while Blanca had eaten her fill of anger at Hen's place and needed some time alone. She no longer felt like eating dinner.

That worked out well for Xu Ziling. Using the excuse that the food would taste different if dinner was left uneaten for too long, and that she could make fresh breakfast for Blanca and the doctor tomorrow morning, Elysia gave both Mobius's and Blanca's portions of dinner to Xu Ziling.

At the dining table in the small building, Xu Ziling helplessly smiled as he watched Elysia hold a spoon between her teeth and repeatedly try to tease him with a mischievous grin.

Before transmigrating, Xu Ziling had certainly seen plenty of that sort of thing, but after actually meeting Elysia, he had instead been infected by her purity and could not summon even the slightest bit of lecherous intent.

Of course, Xu Ziling did not dislike this feeling.

After all, what he was experiencing now was a beautiful scene that countless fans could not even dream of.

P.S. Have you all started your winter vacations? I'm planning to start releasing chapters in bulk next Monday...
