"I'm a boy! I can be ruthless even to my own gender! Your tastes are disgusting!"

Even after such a scathing rant, the other party seemed completely unfazed. Whispering into Ouyang's ear, he said softly, "I can transform your body into that of a maiden, and naturally, I can also gradually turn your heart into that of a maiden. It's only a matter of time."

The familiar scene before her eyes brought the same image to Ouyang's mind. The image she had forgotten due to pain gradually surfaced.

It turned out her first time had already been given to him on the day the Bloodkin Prince turned her into a vampire through the Embrace.

Tears streamed uncontrollably down her face. Recalling the tragedies from her childhood home filled Ouyang with sorrow and despair. She, who had been raised by Brother Long after being adopted, had finally lived a stable and happy life. After barely escaping the unhappy memories of the past, she now faced such a terrible ordeal.

Was it fate playing tricks on her, or was heaven enjoying toying with her? In her heart, besides disgust for this body, there was only despair and anger for her future life.

"You're crying?"

"Don't touch me! Take your hand away..."

Feeling cold fingers gently wiping her warm, tear-streaked cheeks, fear and disgust for the Bloodkin Prince before her arose in her heart.

"Yes..."

This didn't bring Ouyang any joy; instead, it only added to her anger and made his actions unforgivable. Hearing the Bloodkin Prince apologize as if he had done something wrong, Ouyang sobbed pitifully before he could finish:

"It's done. Even if you apologize, I won't forgive you."

As her sobs subsided, the Bloodkin Prince made no extra movements, simply leaving her hanging there.

Could it be that he would stay motionless all night, until morning, completely numb and unable to get up?

Ouyang, whose thoughts were tangled like a rope, didn't know what to say. Momentarily speechless and still angry, she, whose mind was filled only with the desire to kill the Bloodkin Prince, asked with a faint sob in her voice:

"Isn't there another way to continue your bloodline? Must you rely on this method where neither of us is willing...?"

"Because time is running out for me. I am the last descendant of our family. If I die, the entire Blood Clan will perish. Humans want to exterminate us completely so they can rule Zero District themselves and lead the Mosterians."

Such a terrible situation must absolutely not be allowed to happen.

The Bloodkin Prince said angrily, seemingly recalling a sad and tragic past.

Once, the Mosterians and humans coexisted peacefully, living together in this city.

Some kind-hearted Mosterians, whose strength surpassed humans in all aspects, did several times more work than humans but received the same wages. Later, the situation worsened. They were treated as pets to be raised or tools to be used, and even traded as commodities in secret.

Peace was only an illusion. This city held many truths that Ouyang didn't know.

Out of retaliation, some Mosterians organized a terrible plot in secret.

The plan was very successful. The mastermind who formulated and announced the regulations for peaceful coexistence between Mosterians and humans was killed by them on his way to a banquet.

From that night, humans launched a devastating extermination plan against the Mosterians.

Once, they extracted the blood and genes of Mosterians and developed a terrifying contagious virus. Infected individuals would die within a week. At that time, the Mosterians had not yet developed an antidote, and half of them died right at the start of the war.

The four districts united and cooperated to form special forces against the Mosterians, such as the Holy Order Knights for the Blood Clan, and the Erqi Dao Alliance for the Beast Clan, and so on. Until the Mosterians surrendered, a special Zero District was established to imprison them all inside.

"Do you remember the stone gate in Zero District?"

"I remember."

Listening attentively to the Bloodkin Prince recount the past events, Ouyang recalled the rows of corpses dried to varying degrees before the stone gate. A chill filled her heart.

"The stone gate built in Zero District collected the blood of all Mosterians living inside and recorded it in the city system. To leave, one must use the Dragon Seal to exit. Otherwise, the gate will employ forced attack measures."

"How did you get out then?"

"How the nine Undead got out, I used the same method to escape."

The Bloodkin Prince sighed silently, then said coldly and seriously, "Actually, my purpose for appearing in the Northern District was to investigate who is secretly scheming to find Neyin."

"So those people weren't yours..."

Hearing the Bloodkin Prince say this, Ouyang felt a small sense of relief in her heart. But then she remembered another thing, and again consulted the Bloodkin Prince, asking:

"The bartender guy said there's a fragrance that appears on my body. What's that about? Why can't I smell it at all?"

"Right now, your state and body are like a newborn Blood Clan infant. Your body emits a unique fragrance that you can't smell. This scent attracts the attention of other Mosterians and even makes them want to possess you. It's best to clean it regularly every month."

Unwilling to suffer again the scene where the bartender youth chased her like a pervert down multiple streets, Ouyang asked anxiously, "If I want to eliminate the scent on my body, how should I do it?"

"Like this..."

As the gentle voice sounded, Ouyang felt the Bloodkin Prince's body gradually approaching her, until once again...

Waking up, the tears in her eyes had dried up. Her head felt heavy as Ouyang looked at the familiar ceiling.

Not knowing how the Bloodkin Prince appeared in Ouyang's bedroom—whether by some method or teleportation—he had accurately found her location.

Ouyang, lying in bed with no desire to move, buried her head in the quilt and cried out loud with words no one could hear.

Something hidden deep in her heart collapsed instantly after last night ended. Ouyang, who could never return to the past, had been completely ruined by the Bloodkin Prince.

The Blood Clan body actually repaired all bodily wounds from inside out in a short time. Even her swollen eyes from crying all night returned to their original state.

Drained completely by the Bloodkin Prince last night, Ouyang was very worried about how to explain to Brother Long about not returning home.

Hearing the noise from outside the room, it was already time for Little Qiu to wake up in the blink of an eye.

Ouyang, preparing to tidy up and leave the room, just as she lifted the quilt, suddenly saw a small dark red stain on the bedsheet before her.

Her face darkened. Ouyang felt extremely panicked inside, staring down and whispering softly:

"Is this blood...?"
