Night White quickly returned to Count Karami's mansion and swiftly tidied up the room. As for Bai Tu, he was left for Xingli to take care of, knowing that Bai Tu would not have any worries about food and drink when he stayed by Xingli's side.

After everything was in order, Night White opened the door to leave, but unexpectedly ran into Xingli.

"Night White, what are you up to? Why is the room so clean?" Xingli pretended to be confused.

"Well... you see, my room was so messy, how could I sleep in it," Night White bluffed.

"I can help you," Xingli smiled.

"No... that's not necessary," Night White politely declined.

"What's wrong? Don't you want my help?" Xingli pretended to be a bit angry.

Seeing Xingli like this, Night White immediately said, "I'm just embarrassed and didn't want to trouble you."

"It's not trouble at all," Xingli said.

Once Xingli entered the room, Night White shouted, "Bai Tu, cover for me."

Bai Tu put down the bag filled with barbecue and quickly rushed over, pushing Night White into the room and swiftly closing the door.

Bai Tu brought the bag in front of him with his tail and continued to eat the barbecue in his hand.

"Mama, good luck! Bai Tu will look after you," Bai Tu said.

"Slurp... slurp... barbecue is so delicious," Bai Tu said while eating the barbecue and holding onto the door from outside, preventing Night White from coming out.

Hearing this, Night White was almost exasperated. "This disobedient girl, I will definitely deal with her later."

"Night White... are you truly a vampire?" Xingli suddenly asked.

"No," Night White said firmly, feeling a bit flustered inside.

"Since you're not, then how do you explain that your abilities match what is described on the wanted poster? Although I don't know how you repaired your right hand, when we first met, you were missing an arm," Xingli said.

"Um..." Night White sighed.

"Speaking of which, you might not believe me, but I have the ability to take away other people's magic. At that time, I happened to encounter Iris, who was critically injured and happened to be the person on the wanted poster. I killed her and took away her abilities," Night White fabricated a lie, regardless of whether it was true or not, he had to deceive Xingli first.

"If you truly have the ability to take away other people's magic, then please take away my wind magic. If you can take away my magic, I won't ask any more questions," Xingli looked earnestly at Night White.

Night White was forced by Xingli and dared not meet her gaze.

After a moment, Night White lowered his head slowly and whispered, "Alright."

Night White reached out his hand and slowly approached Xingli, intending to quickly attack her neck and try to knock her unconscious.

But just as Night White was about to attack Xingli's neck, vines suddenly bound his hand.

The vines were infused with weak magic, making Night White's body become weak and powerless, unable to break free from the vines or even muster the strength to use magic.

Outside the room, Bai Tu continued to eat the barbecue, completely ignoring Night White. She knew deep down that Mama would be fine.

Moreover, it would be difficult for Mama to hide her identity as a vampire with the wanted poster circulating. As for Night White attempting to harm Xingli, Bai Tu had informed her beforehand. After staying by Mama's side for so long, Bai Tu had some understanding of Night White.

After all, it was because Xingli had fed Bai Tu so much that Bai Tu had no reason to refuse these benefits. Furthermore, the wanted poster was issued three months ago, allowing Mama to practice peacefully for three months, which was thanks to Xingli's efforts. Considering the scene when Mama fought eight people at once last time, it was likely that someone had come to investigate a long time ago.

It would be best if Mama stayed with Xingli. This way, Bai Tu could be fed by Xingli every day. Wouldn't life be wonderful?

Bai Tu plotted in her mind.In the room, Xingli released herself from the vines and walked up to Night White, asking, "Night White...are you really a vampire?"

Hearing this, Night White looked up and met Xingli's gaze. He smiled helplessly and said, "I've already shown you, can't you tell? If I had nothing to hide, why would I do all this? Besides, the abilities described in the wanted notice are not much different from mine."

"I want to hear you admit it in person," Xingli said seriously.

"I am a vampire. If you want to claim the reward for turning me in, go ahead. I'm tired of running anyway. I've been living in constant fear for the past year, it's time to take a break," Night White chuckled lightly.

Xingli hugged Night White, feeling the warmth of his body. Her heart felt warm and she knew her feelings for Night White were genuine. She had fallen in love with this boy, regardless of whether he was a vampire or not.

"I won't hand you over to the vampires," Xingli held Night White tightly and whispered in his ear.

Night White was taken aback by her words, and then he asked, "Why?"

"No reason. Night White, why do you have so many questions?" Xingli said, taking out a blue pill and feeding it to Night White.

After a moment, Night White's body recovered from its weakened state.

"If you have nowhere to go, stay at Count Karami's mansion. Only my sister and I know that you live there. No one else knows that you are staying at Count Karami's mansion, and you have been safe for the past three months," Xingli said.

"No!" Night White immediately rejected Xingli's kindness without hesitation. "The wanted notice describes my abilities too clearly. Unless I can prove myself innocent, which is almost impossible, they will still be after me. Once I'm found, your father, Count Karami, will be accused of treason by the imperial court. He is very likely to be executed and the rest of you will be exiled."

Night White had a certain understanding of the affairs of the empire, after all, he used to be the Princess of the Blood and had been involved in some political matters.

"This..." Xingli didn't expect the situation to be so serious. Night White's thinking was meticulous.

"Night White, since you've packed your bags, it means you have a goal. Where will you go next? I'll arrange for someone to escort you. Remember, once you leave White Stork, you are prone to be searched forcefully. Those people will do anything for the bounty. But if you travel with Count Karami's caravan, it might not be so easy," Xingli said with concern.

"Next, I'm going to the Sun Moon Empire. Thank you, Xingli," Night White replied.

"I'll call for you in three days."

"Oh, by the way, Night White...the wanted notice says you can transform. I want to see it," Xingli curiously asked.

"If you want to see, then see. After all, you already know my identity," Night White said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Night White transformed back into Iris, leaving Xingli wide-eyed and amazed.

"Night White, you look so beautiful like this, with fair skin and a cute little girl's appearance," Xingli praised Night White.

Iris smiled helplessly.

"Night White, you look a lot like the Queen of the Blood. Could it be that you are the Princess of the Blood?"

"I used to be, but not anymore."

Xingli was somewhat puzzled, her eyes showing a hint of confusion.

"This is a long story. In Agsas, I lived a life of hunger and cold. I had to resort to illegal means to obtain food, such as stealing or robbing. One night, I targeted the Queen of the Blood, and although she didn't kill me, she set her sights on me. Later, I came here and participated in the magical examination at Heaven's Peak Academy. At that time, I was still a human. After the exam, when I returned to my rental house, I found the Queen of the Blood waiting for me. She was sitting in a chair, drinking tea. Afterwards, she turned me into a vampire, making me the Princess of the Blood."At first, I resisted Liliya's guidance, staying at the Tian Du Academy until I was drawn into the secret realm. Inside the secret realm, I met my aunt, Liliya's sister, who guided me successfully through the challenges and brought me back to the vampire clan.

Later, my aunt taught me swordsmanship and took me to the battlefield. Liliya taught me magic and instructed me on how to become a vampire king. I must admit, I have accepted this lifestyle, embracing my identity as the Princess of the Blood. It's much better than the days when I couldn't eat enough or keep warm. Besides, I have no choice but to accept, otherwise Liliya will punish me until I do.

Just when everything was going well, on New Year's Eve, my grandmother died and all the evidence pointed to me. Liliya took a dark red prism from my grandmother that emitted my magical aura. I was framed, but no one believed me, because magical auras cannot be forged.

Afterward, Liliya locked me in a cell, subjecting me to various tortures, forcing me to confess to the crime and reveal the method and motive. But it wasn't me, I couldn't say those things. In a fit of anger, Liliya cut off my right hand and destroyed it, planning to chop off one limb every other day.

With the help of Bai Xuan, I escaped and later met you. You know what happened after that," Iris calmly said, as if those pains were already far from her.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Starry Lute looked at Night White with concern.

"I am a vampire, an enemy of yours. I am now like a rat in the streets, everyone wants to kill me," Night White said.

"But it's not your fault! It's not like you wanted to become a vampire. And your right hand, why is it restored?" Starry Lute pointed to Night White's right arm.

"It's healed, thanks to Teacher Lu's help," Iris waved her right hand effortlessly.

"Lies! If a limb is severed, it can only be reattached if you can find the severed limb. Growing a new hand out of thin air is impossible, even for the top healing mage," Starry Lute suspected that Night White was lying again.

Iris smiled, took off her gloves and rolled up her sleeves, revealing the dark red right arm. There were black chains connecting her shoulder and arm.

Looking at the chains on Iris's right arm, Starry Lute's eyes were filled with sadness.

Outside the room, Bai Xuan heard that there was no more movement inside and couldn't help but push the door open. As soon as she entered, Iris's gaze shot towards Bai Xuan, frightening her, and she quickly closed the door and ran out to play in the snow.

The two stared at each other for a while. Iris stood up, transforming into Night White's appearance and patted Starry Lute's head.

"I understand," Starry Lute finally left.

Night White watched Starry Lute's retreating figure and sighed. How could he not know Starry Lute's feelings for him? He could be captured by the vampire clan, or killed by the angels at any time. Moreover, Starry Lute was just an ordinary girl. How could she bear all of this?

Outside, the snow was falling heavily. Bai Xuan was building a snowman in the yard. After seeing her sister leave in sadness, she also returned indoors.

"If you don't behave, I'll turn you into snake soup," Night White said coldly.

"I understand, Mom," Bai Xuan lowered her head and said with a look of grievance.

"Mom, this is the clothing Starry Lute bought for you," Afterward, Bai Xuan placed a bag on the table and then returned to the Consciousness Space.

Outside, two snowmen held hands, and a snow snake coiled on top of one of them, creating a somewhat comical scene, yet full of warmth.

The howling cold wind blew, one of the snowmen lost its head, while the other was covered in snow.
