_3 347: 121.
The Grand Duchess of Blood Vultures is a coward!
_3 During this ti, Murphy rembers the deeply-buried words that Reveno told him during their farewell.
And so, he naturally spoke them out loud.
“Cui Si, I admit that this is kind of unseemly, but during the year or so that I was taking care of you, my intentions were not entirely pure… The bond contract did not affect my feelings for you, but instead rationalized this adolescent admiration and pursuit with that mysterious power.
Therefore, after its influence was eliminated, I was finally able to calmly assess my feelings for you.
Then I realized, in fact, I have never really changed.
Especially the events that have unfolded in the past month or so have only deepened these feelings even more.
Of course, we have not yet reached the point where we could express these feelings as ‘like’ or ‘love.’
But I can’t deny, I indeed have a deep, out-of-the-ordinary affinity for you, different than for other won.
And from your reaction just now…
I am honored to suspect, that you feel the sa way about .”
“That’s not it!”
Cui Si covered her sowhat burning cheeks, her tone pale as she said:
“You are just too young, so you don’t understand the way Eternal Species handle emotions.
You cannot transfer emotional outburst in such a short ti into such a passionate relationship like a human…”
“But beneath this vampire’s facade, I am still bound by a human soul!”
Murphy internally resigned with a helpless sigh.
He wanted to explain further.
But Cui Si took a deep breath to calm herself down, reached out to touch the scar on her neck, and said to Murphy sorrowfully:
“Moreover, the most important thing is you don’t really know , little Murphy, you only know that pathetic Cui Si who had to give up all her ambitions and malice to adopt a serene deanor due to the loss of her power.
You don’t understand what kind of monster the Scarlet Witch, who lived wildly and viciously in the first half of my life, was.
This scar is the harsh lesson she taught .
You don’t know…”
Cui Si looked at Murphy, hesitated for a mont, bit her lip and said:
“I’ve told you before, the crazy plan that Salockdale designed for Phemys was proposed by .
Maybe back then it was just based on my crazy speculation, but Salockdale made it a reality with an approach even more radical than mine, plus so mysterious subspace knowledge.
And that, was just one of the many wrong things I’ve done during my crazy era.
Murphy, this is what I want to say.
After truly understanding , you will be afraid of , avoid , and even be hostile towards .
The Scarlet Witch is incompatible with you…
I used to console myself when I was weak that I had completely buried that crazy and vicious woman, but now that the power has returned, perhaps that specter will reappear as well.”
She clutched the braid on her chest, her worry unashadly transparent in her voice.
However, Murphy shook his head and stepped forward.
With gentle agility, he unraveled Cui Si’s braid, reverting her to the style of her hair flowing down to her shoulders, echoing the warm and devilish allure of Lady Cui Si’s appearance.
“You look much better this way.”
Murphy gracefully stepped back, looking up and down at Cui Si, he satisfactorily said:
“Your past is a problem you need to deal with yourself, I have not participated in, nor do I care.
As long as you don’t want to destroy the world, I think I can accept it all.
Even if you really want to destroy the world, under necessary circumstances, I can also hand you the torch that ignites the world with a smile.
The distinctions of justice, evil, light, darkness are not very aningful to .
I am yearning for a form of freedom that perhaps you do not understand.
And I can confidently say, our perception of this world is different.
You have your madness, and I have mine.
After all, which vampire doesn’t harbor so harmless secrets?
Moreover, the lives of us vampires have always been lengthy, so don’t rush to conclusions so soon.
There’s a lot to do after mutual admiration is established.
Miss Cui Si, please trust , I am not that frivolous when it cos to feelings.
I believe you are not either.”
“What kind of ridiculous title is that?”
Cui Si scoffed displeasedly:
“I’m 432 years older than you!
Show so respect to , will you?”
“Alright, alright, Lady Cui Si.”
Murphy shrugged, his good spirits showing through his candidness.
He naturally took hold of Cui Si’s hand again and asked:
“Shall we go back together?
It’s not my style to leave a lady alone on a nightti path.
Considering I’m trying to win your affections right now, I believe I should act even more gentlemanly, don’t you agree?”
“You glib talker.”
Cui Si rolled her eyes, calming her thoughts down.
She swirled her eyes a bit, then said:
“Carry !”
“What?”
Murphy looked at her with surprise, his bewildered eyes spoke volus.
I carried you out of the city before because you were near death, but now you’re a Spiritual Overlord of the Golden Stage, and your wings are three tis bigger than mine!
So, have you beco so lazy that you don’t even want to walk anymore?
“Earl Cardman!
Carry your Grand Duchess back to the tent, I am very tired tonight and your absurd words have frightened .
I don’t want to walk or fly right now.
This is the Grand Duchess’ command!
Earl Cardman, you don’t want to be severely punished by your seniors for refusing the Grand Duchess’ command, do you?”
Cui Si toyed with her Nocturne wand as she spoke.
A few minutes later, Murphy, carrying Cui Si, left the Blood Eagle Corridor through the secret passage.
If the outside world were to witness the intimate postures sandwiched between the newly appointed Grand Duchess and Earl Cardman, it would be quite shocking.
Murphy stepped lightly past the underground cavern’s water sources and waterfalls.
In the not so silent night, Lady Cui Si comfortably snuggled against Murphy’s back, then laid her forehead against it and closed her eyes.
This strange and peculiar feeling, if it advances any further, feels like it could beco incredibly troubleso.
Besides, does this young man, Murphy, understand what love is?
He could understand it more than , a close to 500-year-old vampire elder?
So, let’s maintain this comfortable distance between two people for now, and deal with all those troubleso things later.
So she thought to herself, as if trying to convince herself.
As Murphy carried her and jumped down from the waterfall, gliding in the darkness, Cui Si quietly touched her lips.
It seed to still retain a bit of the warmth from that passionate kiss monts ago, as did Murphy’s gentlemanly hand on her waist.
One that sends a vampire’s heart fluttering more than the scorching sun.
“Cui Si!”
She said to herself in her heart:
“What a coward you are…”
