The vampire heiress is two-faced

Coco was startled: "What—"

...

Before she could finish speaking, a long, black spear pierced her abdomen instantly.

"Now be a little quieter, little maid."

If the sickle tightly gripped by Coco fell to the ground with a clatter, then Yang Lingxi gently pushed her, and she collapsed helplessly.

"cocoa!"

Ludwig cried out, but she couldn't move an inch because Yang Lingxi was already right in front of her.

She raised her hand and gently stroked Ludwig's cheek, smiling as she looked at her face.

"Ludwig, is that right? My little cutie."

"..."

"Don't be afraid, I won't kill you, because we will meet again."

She leaned close to Ludwig's ear and whispered softly.

"I'm very interested in you and your power."

"As for when we'll meet again...that depends on how hard you try."

...

"ah!"

Ludwig screamed and tried to push her away, but in the blink of an eye, there was nothing beside her except for the heavily injured Ruco lying at her feet.

"Coco...Coco! Wake up!"

Ludwig held Ruokeke in her arms and looked at Yang Lingxi warily, fearing that she might suddenly attack.

But she ignored everyone and went to the display case of the Spear of Longinus, gently touching the cold, transparent glass of the case.

She leaned forward, almost touching the display case, her eyes filled with fervent fascination.

"I'm here, did you miss me?"

She smiled with immense satisfaction.

"Ah, my Longinus... let's go home."

...

"Stop it!"

With a roar, Yin Shang swept his left hand across the entire blade as if enchanted, and the Wandering Sword instantly burst into a blazing golden flame.

While holy light cannot harm sacred artifacts, it can damage ordinary devices and creatures due to the laws of physics, meaning it will destroy everything in its path.

But seeing that the terrifying dark monster was about to succeed, Yin Shang couldn't care less about anything else at this point.

He raised the holy sword high and roared angrily.

"Dawn, Judgment!"

The intense holy light struck the blonde girl, but she ignored it.

Boom——

Chapter 31 Healing Methods Unique to Vampires

into the night.

Spier awoke from his coma to find the exhibition hall in complete disarray.

"Cough cough... My protective measures didn't work at all."

He looked at the center of the exhibition hall, where the glass case was shattered and the display shelves inside were empty, which undoubtedly proved that the Spear of Longinus had been stolen.

He fiddled with the equipment connected to several cameras, but all the images displayed were completely black.

"Never mind, even though the camera didn't capture anything, I've already gotten the 'clue' I wanted."

He picked up his cane and left the church through the VIP passage.

"A 'clue' that was enough for me to determine my next target."

...

...

Before the thick darkness gradually dissipated, Ludwig and the others escaped the church before people woke up.

Yin Shang carried the unconscious Ruo Keke on his back, covering the wound on her abdomen with his coat, and together they arrived at the entrance to the nearby vampire dark zone while trying to avoid being noticed.

At least Ludwig could be sure that this place was safe, and that Coco's injuries could be treated there.

"Damn it... I didn't expect her to do it on purpose, just to make me blow open that glass cover!" Yin Shang said regretfully.

Ludwig sighed, "Sigh, I already saw it coming, but you didn't hear me telling you to stop. With that blast, the scorch marks left by the Holy Light wouldn't be suspected of being on a vampire. I bet tomorrow morning's news will all be about suspecting church personnel of embezzlement."

"Damn it...damn it!"

Yin Shang slammed his fist on the wall a few times, then looked up at the sign that read "Florence Vampire Dark Zone".

He slammed his fist on the wall one last time, and several pieces of weathered paint were shaken off.

"Sigh, all I'm doing here is raging incompetence and wasting my time. I have to go."

He handed the Coco on his back to Ludwig so she could carry it.

"As a mere human, I cannot enter the vampire's dark zone. Let's part ways here."

Ludwig gently stroked Ruokeke's hand with concern, still looking at Yin Shang with some wariness.

"What, you don't suspect we're bad guys anymore?"

Yin Shang scratched his head: "This maid fought with her to such an extent. If it was a ruse, it's a bit too much. Besides, someone like me isn't worth going to such lengths to deceive."

He waved his hand and turned to leave.

"To avoid falling into the trap of vampires, the best way is to keep your distance from any vampires."

Ludwig puffed out her cheeks: "Hey, stop right there."

Yin Shang turned around impatiently: "What is it now, Miss?"

“Your goal now should be to retrieve the Spear of Longinus, right?” Ludwig said.

“Then our goals should be aligned. Because the Princess wants to take the Spear of Longinus to the Vampire Queen. Finding her is equivalent to finding the Spear of Longinus,” the girl said.

"If you need information about the vampires, then you have no choice but to cooperate with us now."

...

Yin Shang pondered it for a moment, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

"You want me to cooperate with vampires? Ha, no way, unless you can offer me something in return..."

Ludwig covered her face and sneered.

"Hmph, I'm not offering you a deal. You have no choice."

At that moment, she activated the mental magic contained in her pupils—the Enchanting Eyes.

Yin Shang was completely unaware that he had fallen into a trap. He scratched his head and, as if possessed, agreed.

"Okay, let's leave it at that for now. Ms. Ruo Keke has my contact information, so please have her contact me if you need anything later."

“Hey! Can’t you just write down my number?” Ludwig said.

Although Yin Shang was currently under the influence of Ludwig's magic, he still subconsciously felt that he should stay away from this guy.

"No need, you should take her to the hospital right away. Although vampires are very resilient, her injuries can't be left untreated."

Yin Shang quickly changed the subject and disappeared in a flash.

Ludwig snorted:

"What the heck, this guy is really..."

"If I hadn't stroked his spirit cat's fur and made it happy on the way, so it wouldn't bother me, the magic I just used might not have worked."

She poked the corner of her lips.

"Well, this works out well. At least I have a free helper."

Upon leaving the church, Reinhardt judged that cooperating with them would be beneficial to its master, so it became an inside agent under Ludwig's "bribe".

...

Upon entering the dark area, Ludwig quickly had the clinic doctor perform a simple bandage on Rucoko.

Vampires, being dark monsters by nature, didn't need much treatment for wounds caused by dark energy. The doctor simply bandaged her up and then had her receive an IV drip of blood plasma and placed her in a ward to rest.

"She just needs some fresh blood to recover naturally. What would be a fatal penetrating wound for a human is just a common injury for us," the doctor said.

Ludwig rubbed her hands together, looking nervous.

"But, doctor, how long will it take for her to wake up?"

"Hmm...that's hard to say. Her abdominal organs are injured and haven't fully remodeled, so she can't drink blood directly. Injection will naturally be slower," the doctor replied.

...

Ludwig sat beside the dimly lit hospital bed. Coco's skin had turned pale and lost its luster, a symptom that appeared after a vampire had lost a lot of blood.

Although vampires' skin is naturally pale due to not being exposed to the sun, this bloodless pallor was still unbearable for Ludwig to look at.

"Ugh."

She sighed softly.

"Coco was so loyal, yet she was hurt so badly by the very person she served..."

The image of that golden-haired figure flashed through her mind; that figure grinned wickedly, surrounded by a black mist that seemed to swallow the heavens—

The memory of it almost suffocates Ludwig.

"Hmph, daring to hurt my Coco and even kidnapping the vampire queen, making my life unbearable..."

"When I find you, I will definitely let you, I will let you..."

The young lady was at a loss for words, because she was not good at cursing and couldn't think of any vicious words for the time being.

"...Hmph, I'll make you regret this."

She muttered something as she picked up the cup next to her, preparing to pour herself a glass of blood drink.

Gudong Gudong——

Her gaze swept across the room and she suddenly noticed that Ruo Keke's pillow was stained red in one corner.

Upon closer inspection, she noticed a scratch on the back of Ruoke's ear. Due to the fact that vampire blood is difficult to clot, the blood that had been slowly seeping from the wound was only now beginning to congeal.

Vampires are naturally blood-thirsty. Their body cells become activated when they receive blood, allowing damaged areas to heal quickly; and the undamaged body also gains a sense of satisfaction.

Therefore, many native vampires in the ancient past enjoyed bathing in fresh blood to obtain a unique vampire pleasure. Although in modern times, blood bags can also be used to enjoy blood baths, using blood bags for bathing is still considered extravagant and wasteful.

However, applying blood to wounds to speed up healing is still a common practice in the daily lives of vampires, and there are even vampire-specific ointments made by thickening blood plasma.

"Glug glug? Hmm?"

Ludwig glanced at the glass; it was a drink made with blood plasma bags, a brand she often drank, containing over 30% fresh blood.

The drink had a sweet aroma, and although she didn't know it was the fruity scent of tomato juice, it was still one of her favorite blood drinks.

"Gurgle... It contains blood components, so it can replace the blood plasma ointment, and it even smells nice."

Ludwig suddenly smiled.

"That is to say..."

...

The usually assertive Ruo Keke now had a slight frown on her face as she weakly received an IV drip in her hospital bed.

The brown-haired girl, still in a coma, occasionally murmured a few words, perhaps trapped in a nightmare again.

With a gentle twist and a slight shake, Ludwig took off her small high heels and crawled into the hospital bed under the covers.

"Hmm☆"
