Chapter 181 Roses
Chapter 181 Roses
“Blood is my wine, and you will be my prey. I am Duke Dracula Hoyke.” The pale-faced man greeted Lin Liuyi elegantly.
"I, you, this... a vampire!" Lin Liu was initially a little scared.
"Get rich! This is a vampire reader, I'm scared!" Lin Liuyi secretly started to complain to the system.
"Don't be afraid, host. You're not in the same world, and besides, you have the Dragon Scales and Dragon Pearl protecting you." The system's voice sounded at the right time, giving Lin Liuyi some comfort.
Would vampires be afraid of this thing?
While discussing things with the system in his mind, Lin Liuyi also dealt with the vampire readers in front of him.
"You're not afraid of me?" Duke Dracula stared at Lin Liuyi and said.
Of course I'm scared!
She was internally sobbing, but outwardly she was all smiles.
"We're not from the same world, and besides, vampires, you know, they've been on TV." Lin Liuyi replied dismissively.
“You’re quite an interesting little girl,” Duke Dracula chuckled, revealing two sharp fangs.
"Are you vampires really afraid of sunlight? And do you really sleep in coffins?" Lin Liuyi didn't know how the other person had become her reader, but that didn't stop her from being curious.
I don't know if it's this thing that's powerful, or the zombies in their country's legends that are more powerful!
“Only the lowest-ranking blood slaves fear sunlight. A duke like me can walk in the sun all along.” Dracula realized that Lin Liuyi didn’t seem to pose a threat to him, so he relaxed and chatted with him.
"As for the coffin, so what? What's wrong with my sleeping place being a little special!"
Lin Liuyi followed the other person's gaze to his coffin. It was special, truly special!
The colorful gems embedded in it, and the coffin trimmed with gold, truly made the Duke look incredibly prestigious.
Seeing the admiring look in Lin Liu's eyes, Dracula's attitude improved even more; indeed, his coffin was the most dazzling.
"Tell me, you used this magic artifact to wake me up just to get a reward?" Dracula was in a good mood and decided to ask Lin Liuyi what he wanted. If it was a small matter, he would agree to it.
"I woke you up? And now I'm asking for a reward?"
"Yes, I was taking my beauty nap when your magical artifact kept making noise and waking me up. After that, the area where you were giving me the reward was flashing, almost blinding me!"
Dracula didn't say that after being woken up, he was full of morning grumpiness and immediately attacked the book-like magical artifact, only to find that it had no effect at all, and the book continued to make noise.
The other party stopped talking only after he clicked the tip button.
"Hmm, Fa Cai, your book has evolved again; it even asks for donations now." Hearing this, Lin Liuyi wanted to cover his face. How embarrassing! It felt like he was begging for food.
"This is probably due to the influence of the world again." The system sighed. Now, each world has a different influence on the book, and it can't control it.
Lin Liu had no choice but to apologize to the other party, feeling embarrassed, and then explained the specific situation.
Upon learning that this thing wasn't a magical artifact but a novel, Dracula became annoyed. He hated reading and writing the most and would rather go back to sleep.
As a powerful vampire, well, he's just powerful in terms of strength.
Just as Dracula was about to return to his coffin to continue sleeping, his servant suddenly appeared.
"Master, one of your roses outside the castle has been stolen!"
"Who dares to steal my roses!" Dracula was furious. Those were his most beloved roses, and he would visit them every time he woke up.
He rushed out and counted the roses in the garden. "Phew, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight. There really is one missing. Who is it?!"
"Blair! Find out who stole my roses!"
As he roared, Blood Servant Blair did not appear, but a woman did.
"Ampsa? It's you?"
"Your Grace, it's been a long time!" Ampsa, transformed into a beautiful human woman, hopped and skipped toward Dracula.
“Walk properly, stop pretending to be innocent! Where is my Blood Servant? What are you doing in my castle? Did you steal my roses?” Dracula frowned as he looked at the other man.
I'd heard that Ampsa often disguised herself as a beautiful young girl to seduce men and drink their blood, and that she especially liked the blood of virgins. Dracula had never dealt with her before, so he wondered how she had suddenly come to his castle.
Upon hearing Dracula's words, Ampsa withdrew her disguise and reverted to her vampire appearance.
“Your Grace is so boring. You’re just a blood servant. Are you not as good as me? As for the rose, how can the rose be as beautiful as me!” Ampsa gave Dracula a seductive look.
"Enough with the nonsense, give me back my Blood Servant and Rose!" Dracula said impatiently.
Ampsa was speechless. How could Dracula be so boring?
If she weren't just a count, she wouldn't want to seduce this boring man. She preferred innocent, naive young boys whose blood smelled sweet.
Seeing that Ampsa remained motionless, Dracula instantly bared his fangs and began to attack her.
"Your Grace, your Blood Servant is right over there. As for the rose, I didn't steal it!" Ampsa quickly explained while dodging the attacks.
Damn it, is there really such a huge difference in power between an earl and a duke?
Ampsa failed to gain any advantage over Dracula and was instead caught off guard. Taking advantage of an opening, she immediately turned around, revealed her true form, and flew away.
Dracula did not immediately chase after him, but instead found his blood servant in a corner outside the door and awakened him.
"I'm sorry, Master!" Blair was also bewildered; how had he been knocked unconscious?
Considering that the other person had followed him for many years, Dracula didn't hold a grudge. What angered him now was who had stolen one of his roses.
At this moment, the rose that Dracula had been searching for so painstakingly was lying in Lin Liuyi's reward.
"You're saying this vampire gave me a rose? Can I get it back?"
What's going on? Could those stories about vampires and young girls be true? She doesn't like him! Quick, back off, back off!
"Yes, host, these roses have a different kind of energy. If you don't want them, I'll take them all!" The system indicated that a refund was impossible.
"Here you go!" Lin Liuyi thought about how a vampire had taken a fancy to her, and ouch, she instantly got goosebumps all over her body.
"Okay, thank you, host! However, the system scan has found that the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Western Section, records: 'There is a ghost in the Western Ridge, which looks like a human, with red eyes and fangs. It hides during the day and comes out at night. It likes to eat human blood, and eating it will prolong its life.'"
"Does it prolong life?"
