"You bitch... Baron Carlos won't let you get away with this!"
Albert was on his last breath, his life force rapidly draining away.
His vampire heart contracted violently before suddenly exploding. A wisp of essence flowed with the blood into Grantis's mouth.
Grantis drained the powerful vampire completely, and her withered life force gradually recovered.
Ever since becoming a vampire, she had not consumed a single drop of blood, which had left her mentally unstable and physically frail. Now, she was fully restored.
Then her strength began growing explosively. She swiftly broke through Bronze Rank Six, eventually reaching the peak of high Bronze Rank, only one step away from the next level.
The white-haired girl gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. Opening her parasol to hide her pretty face in its shadow, she returned to Su Li's side. After some hesitation, she took his hand again.
"Grantis, have you made up your mind?" Su Li asked with a smile.
"I'm going to hunt them," Grantis said, her voice ethereal and resolute.
Nearby, the blood-covered man looked at the vampires scattered across the ground, his legs nearly giving out.
He looked at the group of men and women, especially the white-haired vampire. It was a sight he had never witnessed before—a vampire, in a state of blood loss, had actually resisted her primal urges and not drunk his blood.
"Let's go." Su Li glanced at him. They should not linger here; if Baron Carlos suddenly returned, they would be in trouble.
They passed through the Black Forest and finally saw signs of human habitation.
They encountered quite a few strange creatures along the way, but Su Miaohan dealt with them all.
"What's your name?" the little girl suddenly asked.
"My name is Su Li." Su Li felt Grantis's little hand suddenly tighten around his.
"Thank you, Lord Su Li. You saved me and gave me a new life. I will serve you forever." Grantis's icy hands tightly clasped Su Li's hand.
Su Li reached over with his other hand and held both of Grantis's hands. He smiled.
"No, Grantis. You don't need to serve me, nor do you need to serve anyone.
"You are no longer Baron Carlos's kin, and you do not need to become mine either.
"Remember—remember the voice that awakened within your heart. Remember the meaning of your existence from this day onward."
He fell silent for a moment before continuing, "I'm leaving. I'm merely a passerby, not someone worth clinging to.
"From this day on, you are Grantis.
"I hope that when we meet again, we will not stand on opposing sides."
Grantis remained silent. She released Su Li's hand, gave him a bow, and softly said, "Thank you for your guidance. I will always remember it."
As they gradually approached human habitation, a difficult problem arose. Grantis could not return to the demon-hunting family, since she was already a vampire. Other than hunting vampires, she had nowhere to call home.
The world of the blood clans was still mainly populated by ordinary humans. Vampires and blood clans were numerous, but they stood opposed to each other and hunted one another.
Grantis could neither live in the vampire world nor enter the human world. She would likely be demon-hunted the moment she appeared.
Could Grantis only wander aimlessly?
At that moment, the man beside them hesitated. His throat bobbed with an audible gulp before he suddenly gritted his teeth and spoke.
"My name is Loschi. I'm the president of a demon-hunting agency. If possible, I would like to invite Grantis to join my demon-hunting agency!"
After saying this, Loschi seemed to let out a breath of relief. He had made a terrifying decision—to take in a vampire and have her join a demon-hunting agency!
Su Li and the others looked surprised. The president of a demon-hunting agency had actually ended up on a vampire's dinner table? Wasn't he a little too weak?
Loschi seemed to understand what Su Li and the others meant. Blushing, he argued, "I was ambushed and sold to the vampires."
Su Li spoke with him.
Loschi was from Amand City. Since childhood, he had dreamed of becoming a demon hunter. Upon reaching adulthood, he resolutely joined the profession and used all his savings to establish a demon-hunting agency.
However, due to a lack of funds, Loschi had yet to recruit any demon hunters. He could only handle commissions personally as the agency's president.
His first commission soon arrived. Full of confidence, he went to the site of the incident, only to be drugged unconscious by the locals. When he woke up, the village had already offered him to Baron Carlos as a sacrifice.
Su Li and Grantis wore strange expressions. It was a little funny. Fortunately, they had both received professional training, so they both burst out laughing.
But Grantis seemed to have no other choice. She made her decision and joined Loschi's demon-hunting agency.
They arrived near Amand City.
"Wait for me here," Loschi instructed before entering the city.
Su Li did not trust the man completely. Instead, he had Su Miaohan remain at the city gate. If anything went wrong, they would retreat immediately.
Unfortunately, the effective control range of his cards was only five hundred meters. Otherwise, he could have followed Loschi directly and tested whether he harbored any ill intentions.
Soon, Loschi returned, having changed into a tailcoat that was somewhat ostentatious.
His injuries had already healed. It seemed demon hunters had some tricks of their own; otherwise, they could not have fought the blood clans for so many years.
He took out a black necklace that glimmered with an unusual radiance and explained, "In fact, many vampires blend into human society. As long as they wear accessories made from silver bloodstone like this, they can conceal every abnormal trait related to the blood clans.
"I've already altered this necklace and changed its color."
Not daring to praise Loschi's taste, Grantis took the necklace and put it on.
Su Li showed a look of surprise. It was indeed miraculous—Grantis's somewhat pale complexion actually regained a healthy flush, and the tips of her ears returned to normal as well.
In the end, even the blood-red color of her pupils faded away. Grantis was somewhat excited; it felt as though she had become human again.
Su Li did not leave immediately either. Experiencing the charm of the vampire world seemed like a pretty good choice.
Grantis was delighted by this. Truly transformed back into a human girl, she smiled brilliantly.
She loved holding Su Li's hand. It gave her a strong sense of security, and she gripped it tightly, as if afraid that Su Li might quietly leave.
Su Li thought that he did not seem to have anything urgent to do, so he stayed for the time being. After entering the city, Loschi enthusiastically introduced the local specialties.
The three of them toured the entire city. Loschi wore a pained expression—his wallet had been completely emptied!
They arrived at the agency. It was small, yet inexplicably cozy.
"I'm going to change clothes." Grantis could not wait to take off the outfit Baron Carlos had given her.
A moment later, Su Li's heart began to race.
The starry-blue princess gown was deep and mysterious. The white-haired vampire possessed a stunning figure, her pretty face fair and luminous. Her two long legs moved as she walked over in matching starry-blue knee-high boots.
Under Su Li's gaze, the white-haired girl became a little shy and obediently sat down beside him.
