What a Mess!

Lan Yu hadn't expected it. Something that should have happened after the Black Snake incident had already happened now.

The world was full of surprises—one thing led to another, and soon everything was a tangled mess.

Lan Yu had planned to deal with this after the Black Snake incident was over, but he hadn't expected to resolve it ahead of schedule.

He walked over to the sisters, Liu Xian and Liu Ru, in the corner. First, he stopped their bleeding, then took out blood potions to replenish the blood they'd lost.

"Don't worry. The vampires here have all been taken care of." Seeing that fear still lingered in their eyes, Lan Yu spoke up to reassure them.

At the same time, he couldn't help marveling at how useful Soul Skills were.

It was common knowledge that a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring could grant two Soul Skills.

As it happened, the Ice and Fire Dragon King had given Lan Yu all of their remaining essence, helping him awaken the Ice and Fire Dragon King Martial Soul, along with a complete set of Soul Bones.

They had also raised his Innate Soul Power level all the way to fifty and provided him with five Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings.

This was also thanks to Lan Yu having eaten many immortal herbs and spent a long time bathing in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Otherwise, with his abilities, he might not have been able to accept the Ice and Fire Dragon King's gifts all at once.

"Thank you... Thank you for saving us." The two women, having survived a calamity, thanked him again and again, their voices choked with tears.

Liu Xian had thought Nie Dong was handsome, wealthy, and a gentleman worth entrusting herself to. She'd never imagined he was a devil who fed on the blood of young women!

Not only had she gotten herself caught up in this, she'd dragged her only sister down with her.

"You're welcome. I'm a hunter. I came across this situation, so saving you was no trouble," Lan Yu said.

He helped the sisters to their feet, and the three of them headed for the wine cellar's exit.

The sisters were still sobbing, though for some reason, not a single tear would fall.

Without realizing it, the two women drifted closer to Lan Yu.

That unique scent drew the sisters, chilled and weak all over, like a drug.

They couldn't help leaning toward Lan Yu. Noticing this, he gathered Soul Power at his fingertips and cut one of his fingers.

In an instant, the scent of his blood—unlike that of an ordinary human mage—made the two women lose their minds like Wu Zetian after her husband died: she'd lost her reason, Li Zhi!

Each of them seized one of Lan Yu's hands and put his cut index finger in her mouth, sucking on it hungrily and greedily.

The taste of blood spread across their tongues. Lan Yu's blood was irresistible to them, and the energies of ice and fire spread over their bodies, surging and intertwining.

Suddenly, the sisters realized what they were doing. Their bodies began to tremble violently.

They hurriedly pulled away from Lan Yu's fingers, trembling in panic. He hissed under his breath. They'd sucked pretty hard!

The wounds he'd cut healed visibly, scabbed over, and finally returned to normal.

The blood he'd lost just now was nothing to him.

Liu Xian and Liu Ru didn't dare look at Lan Yu. He had just saved them, and yet they had sucked his blood.

"We... we..."

A grief unlike anything they'd ever felt welled up inside them. Under normal circumstances, they would already have been crying helplessly.

But now, not a single tear fell.

Vampires!

They'd never imagined they would become vampires.

"Sister... We... We've become that disgusting thing!" Liu Ru couldn't help crying aloud, though not a single tear fell.

Liu Xian held Liu Ru tightly and kept repeating, "I'm sorry. It's all my fault, all my fault..."

Looking at the grieving sisters, Lan Yu said nothing. He just stood silently to one side.

Time passed, second by second, and Liu Xian and Liu Ru had no choice but to accept the fact that they had become vampires.

Just then, Leng Qing, who had been waiting outside, saw that Lan Yu still hadn't come out. Worried, she could only go into the wine cellar—and discovered the sisters had become vampires.

"They..." Leng Qing didn't say it outright, but everyone present understood: Liu Xian and Liu Ru had become vampires.

Leng Qing looked at Lan Yu and said, "Now you're their elder. Make sure you keep them in line 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.

But as soon as the words left his mouth, an eerie silence fell over the entire wine cellar.

Lan Yu suddenly realized he wasn't Brother Crow, and quickly added, "Heh heh, Sister Leng Qing, I was just joking."

Leng Qing gave a cold laugh. "That was quite a joke."

With that, she turned and left the wine cellar.

Only after Leng Qing had left did Lan Yu beat his chest and stamp his feet. "What a mess!"

Liu Xian and Liu Ru, standing nearby, couldn't help finding him amusing.

But from the woman who had just left, they had learned that Lan Yu, who had passed his bloodline on to them, was now their "elder."

Besides, when Nie Dong had brought them here, he'd also told them about the Blood Clan.

If they hadn't received the Blood Clan's bloodline, they would have become the kind of vampire monsters who only knew how to kill and thirst for blood.

After letting out a long breath, Lan Yu looked at the two of them and said, "In a way, vampires are still human. Don't dwell on it too much."

"Let's go."

After leaving the Northland Club, Lan Yu returned to his apartment.

To be honest, he was pretty curious about what strange chemical reaction would happen after Liu Xian and Liu Ru became members of the Blood Clan by drinking his blood.

Could they turn into Little Dragon Girls?

Well, it didn't seem entirely impossible.

The next day, with nothing better to do, Lan Yu went to Dean Xiao's office instead of drinking tea and walking his bird.

"Have a seat." Dean Xiao cheerfully gestured for Lan Yu to sit.

But what Dean Xiao said next made Lan Yu pause.

"You're not thinking of transferring schools like that Mo Fan, are you? He likes getting into trouble, but you..."

"How could that be? Do I look like the kind of person who gets into trouble?" Lan Yu said.

Dean Xiao gave it some serious thought. Lan Yu really didn't seem like the kind of person who got into trouble.

"I was too hasty." Dean Xiao smiled apologetically.

"Oh, right. You're already an Advanced Mage, so I can recommend you to the National Team. I hope you'll put on an outstanding performance at the World College Tournament," Dean Xiao added.

"Um... could I not go?" Lan Yu asked.

Dean Xiao stared at Lan Yu. He was quite sure he wasn't hard of hearing and had heard him correctly, but he wasn't surprised.

"Can you tell me why?" Dean Xiao asked.

Lan Yu explained, "If I remember right, before the World College Tournament officially opens, the National Team goes on a training trip through various countries. Isn't that so?"

Dean Xiao nodded. He knew that well enough; after all, he had once been an instructor for the National Team. But he'd disliked certain things, so he had resigned from the post.
