Lan Yu had not expected that something which should have happened after the Black Snake incident had already come to pass.
Truly, the world is unpredictable, and things often take a messy turn.
Lan Yu had originally intended to wait until the Black Snake incident concluded before addressing this matter, but he had not expected it to be resolved ahead of schedule.
He walked toward the sisters, Liu Xian and Liu Ru, who were huddled in the corner. He first stanched their wounds and then produced blood agents to replenish the blood they had lost.
"Rest assured, the vampires here have all been dealt with." Seeing the lingering fear in their eyes, Lan Yu spoke to soothe them.
At the same time, he could not help but marvel at the utility of his Soul Skills.
It was common knowledge that a hundred-thousand-year soul ring could provide two soul skills.
As it happened, the Ice and Fire Dragon King Martial Soul had bestowed all of its remaining essence upon Lan Yu, helping him awaken his Ice and Fire Dragon King Martial Soul, along with a complete set of soul bones.
Furthermore, it had pushed his Innate Soul Power level up to fifty and provided him with five hundred-thousand-year soul rings.
This was also thanks to the many immortal-grade herbs Lan Yu had consumed and the long periods he had spent soaking in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well; otherwise, given his capacity, he might not have been able to accept the gifts of the Ice and Fire Dragon King all at once.
"Thank you... thank you for saving us sisters." The two women, having survived the ordeal, thanked him repeatedly, their voices choked with sobs.
Liu Xian had originally thought Nie Dong was handsome, wealthy, and a gentleman worthy of her trust, never expecting that he was a devil who fed on the blood of young women!
Not only had she gotten herself into this mess, but she had also implicated her only sister.
"You're welcome. I am a hunter; discovering this situation and saving you was just a matter of convenience," Lan Yu said.
Helping the sisters up, the three of them walked toward the exit of the wine cellar.
The sisters were still sobbing, though for some reason, no tears could fall.
Without realizing it, the two women walked closer to Lan Yu.
That unique aura was like a poison, irresistibly attracting the cold and weak sisters.
They couldn't help but press themselves against Lan Yu. The latter sensed this and, gathering soul power at his fingertips, sliced his finger open.
In an instant, the scent of blood—so different from that of a common human mage—caused the two women to lose their composure entirely.
They each grabbed one of Lan Yu's hands and pulled his bleeding index finger into their mouths, sucking greedily and hungrily.
The taste of blood spread across their tongues; Lan Yu's blood left them unable to stop, while the energies of ice and fire surged, churned, and intertwined within their bodies.
Suddenly, the sisters realized something and began to tremble violently.
In a panic, they opened their mouths and released Lan Yu's finger. The latter hissed under his breath—that had been a vicious bite!
The wound he had cut began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, scabbing over and eventually returning to its original state.
The blood lost just moments ago was negligible.
Liu Xian and Liu Ru dared not look at Lan Yu; he had just saved them, yet they had fed upon his blood.
"We... we..."
At this moment, an unprecedented sorrow flooded their hearts. Had they been their normal selves, they would have been weeping uncontrollably by now.
However, not a single tear fell.
Vampires!
They never imagined they would become vampires.
"Sister... we... we've become those disgusting things!" Liu Ru couldn't help but wail, yet not a single tear escaped her eyes.
Liu Xian held Liu Ru tightly, repeating the same words over and over: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, it's all my fault..."
Watching the heartbroken sisters, Lan Yu said nothing and simply stood by their side.
As time ticked by, Liu Xian and Liu Ru had no choice but to accept the fact that they had become vampires.
At this moment, Leng Qing, who had been waiting outside, grew worried when Lan Yu did not emerge for a long time. She entered the wine cellar and discovered the sisters, who had turned into vampires.
"They are..." Leng Qing did not finish her sentence, but everyone present understood that Liu Xian and Liu Ru had become vampires.
Leng Qing looked at Lan Yu and said, "Now that you have become their elder, you must keep them in check from now on. Don't make things difficult for me."
"If it's difficult, then don't do it," Lan Yu blurted out without thinking.
However, as soon as the words left his mouth, the entire wine cellar fell into an eerie silence.
Lan Yu suddenly realized he wasn't Crow-ge, and quickly added, "Hehe, Sister Leng Qing, I'm just joking."
Leng Qing sneered, "That was quite the joke you made."
With that, she turned and left the wine cellar.
Once Leng Qing was gone, Lan Yu beat his chest and stomped his feet, crying, "What a disaster!"
Standing to the side, Liu Xian and Liu Ru couldn't help but stifle a laugh.
However, they had learned from the woman who had just left that Lan Yu, who had given them the inheritance blood, was now their "elder."
Moreover, when Nie Dong had kidnapped them, he had mentioned the situation within the vampire clan.
If they had not received the inheritance blood of the vampire clan, they would have turned into mindless, bloodthirsty vampire monsters.
Exhaling a long breath, Lan Yu looked at the two and said, "In a sense, vampires are still human. Don't take it too hard."
"Let's go."
After leaving the Northland Club, Lan Yu returned to his apartment.
To be honest, he was quite curious about what kind of wondrous chemical reaction would occur after Liu Xian and Liu Ru consumed his blood and became vampires.
Could they turn into something like a Dragon Maiden?
It didn't seem entirely impossible.
The next day, having nothing better to do, Lan Yu didn't spend his time drinking tea or walking birds, but instead headed to Dean Xiao's office.
"Sit down." Dean Xiao gestured for Lan Yu to sit with a cheerful smile.
However, Dean Xiao's next words left Lan Yu stunned for a moment.
"You aren't thinking of transferring schools like that Mo Fan, are you? He likes to stir up trouble, and you..."
"How could that be? Do I look like the type of person who stirs up trouble to you?" Lan Yu said.
Dean Xiao thought about it seriously; Lan Yu was indeed not the type to stir up trouble.
"My apologies, I was being rash." Dean Xiao smiled apologetically.
"Oh, right. Since you are now a High-level Mage, I can recommend you for the National Team. I hope you can have an outstanding performance at the World College Tournament," Dean Xiao added.
"Um... can I not go?" Lan Yu asked.
Dean Xiao stared at Lan Yu, certain that his hearing wasn't failing him, yet he wasn't surprised either.
"Can you tell me why?" Dean Xiao inquired.
Lan Yu explained, "I recall that before the World College Tournament officially begins, the National Team has to undergo training in various countries, right?"
Dean Xiao nodded. He was well aware of this, as he had once served as a mentor for the National Team, though he had resigned from the position because he couldn't stand certain things.
