slam-la-
As the two were arguing, the fallen "Yang Qi" suddenly got up from the ground with heavy chains and knelt weakly on the ground.
He looked at Ye Liuli with difficulty:
"Xiao Li...! Don't believe her! And all of you, you've all been deceived by her!"
"She's the imposter!"
"I can't...believe it...cough cough..."
Due to extreme physical weakness, he drooped his head weakly and could no longer speak.
"You're really annoying, you imposter. Using my original body, you're putting on a show of the real and fake Monkey King in front of my childhood sweetheart?"
"Too bad, this method doesn't work on me."
Losing patience, Lingxi raised the black knife again with a blank expression.
Snapped.
Ye Liuli grabbed her hand again.
"..."
Lingxi glanced at her sideways, her smile vanishing.
"Xiao Li, for the vampires and little Xili..."
"You should know what the right thing to do is, right?"
The blonde girl remained silent for a moment.
"Don't let your stubbornness disappoint me again."
...
The black-haired girl finally let go.
She avoided everyone's gaze and left the prison without looking back.
"I'm sorry, I acted impulsively. In the end, I still couldn't bear to watch Ah Qi's body die."
"Although I knew this day would come, I'll go upstairs and wait for you."
...
"Alright, let's get started."
Lingxi said with a relaxed expression.
"Once I am whole again, I will be a better substitute for Little Hilly and will help get the vampires back on track while she is away."
"It also allows us to focus our attention on the incessantly noisy Spier Group."
She brandished the dagger in her palm and walked towards her former "self".
With her back to the crowd, a slight smile played on her lips.
sneer.
Farewell, 'I'.
Swah——
...
...
...
About ten minutes later, Lingxi and the other three walked out of the underground prison.
Seeing Ye Liuli waiting at the prison gate, Lingxi ran over and hugged her.
"Xiao Li, I'm sorry, I was mean just now... Waaah!"
Lingxi, tripped by her skirt, bumped straight into Ye Liuli's arms.
"It hurts!"
"Oh, I'm sorry, Xiao Li, let me rub it for you—"
"Alright, alright, I'm not a child anymore."
"You're not angry with me, are you? How about I treat you to a nice meal, or let's go shopping?"
"I still have a mission..."
"I, the prince, grant you leave. Hehe, come with me to the movies tomorrow."
"How can you act so recklessly! Sigh, Xiaoqi, you need to act more like a prince!"
...
The two walked side by side ahead, intimately connected, as if nothing had happened before.
Undoubtedly, their relationship is far from being rifted by such a trivial matter; it is truly intimate and inseparable.
Ludwig, who had been frightened to tears by her before and was therefore very wary of her, watched the whole thing from the sidelines, but still managed to capture every little expression on her face.
But she still couldn't figure out the princess's thoughts, let alone deduce the so-called "truth" of the matter.
Seeing the smiling faces of the two girls in front of her, Ludwig took the hand of Ruo Keke beside her and nodded gently to her.
If Coco scratched her head in confusion, Ludwig would just laugh and give up trying to figure it out.
Perhaps the truth is not so simple. But this is not a horror story, so let's just consider it a successful conclusion.
“That’s fine,” Ludwig said.
Chapter 74 The Colors That Exist Because of You
"So, you're saying you're not planning to return the Spear of Longinus?" Yin Shang asked.
"What Longinus? There's only the Locina Spear, reforged under the influence of darkness, here!" Lingxi laughed.
Luo Qina blinked, looking at Yin Shang with a puzzled expression.
"Big brother, is there something you need from Luo Qina?"
Yin Shang sighed, "What a clever honey trap!"
He can't just forcibly take a little girl away, can he? That's a crime no matter where you are!
Yin Shang sighed and patted her head:
"It's nothing, little Lochina."
“Your Highness, I am a church knight who has long been excommunicated, and I have no reason to take it away.”
Yin Shang looked up at the blonde girl and said.
“Previously, I came here simply to ensure that this holy lance, which is revered by all the knights of the church, would not be defiled by sinners. Now that I have found its whereabouts, I will also choose to stay here for the time being, for the same reason. Although I have always believed that there are more good people than bad among the vampires, you are clearly not a good person in the traditional sense no matter how you look at it.”
Lingxi looked at Yin Shang, a faint, enigmatic smile playing on her lips, as if amused by his words.
Yin Shang couldn't help but get goosebumps.
“What’s so funny? She’s just a child who doesn’t understand anything. I have to make sure she doesn’t get corrupted by you.”
Lingxi smiled slightly:
“I am her mother, and the person in charge of this castle now. With me here, do you have any reason to worry about her physical and mental health?”
"Right and wrong, good and evil, light and darkness... have never been concepts that can be easily drawn apart. From the perspective of the vampires, vampires have never been 'evil'. What we do is simply what we vampires consider 'right'."
"Only the victor can define the standard of good and evil, but at least the vampires are not victors and have no right to define so-called good and evil."
She moved closer to Yin Shang's face.
“我要让她成为一个出一$&零}|//@五~~酒+>%}色的血族,不仅不会让她浸染上人类的三观,还要让她明白加|<0/-1-%7{~4$5@9{4+>9>8,以后要离你这种怪叔叔远一点。”
"Let's go, Lochina."
She took Luo Qina's hand and left.
Yin Shang was stunned: "You're spouting nonsense! What weird uncle?!"
Although Yin Shang did achieve his goal of "finding the Spear of Longinus," it was impossible for it to change again after being repaired by the Princess, tainted by the darkness of vampire magic, and ultimately transformed into the spirit Lochina through a ritual.
The three broken pieces of the Holy Lance were returned to the church for safekeeping.
He didn't want to offend a high-ranking person who occasionally suffered from mental instability and seemed to have some kind of mental illness.
Aside from the fact that he couldn't afford to offend her, Yin Shang actually needed her help right now. Upsetting her at this time wouldn't be a wise move.
Based on hearsay along the way, Yin Shang can now only hope that the Vampire Council can fight against the Group... and that he can find a way to break his curse from the missing Vampire Queen. This is his only lifeline at the moment.
Yin Shang felt a sharp pain in his temples.
"Tsk. Must we continue to collude with the vampires..."
...
"Oh, I almost forgot something."
Lingxi suddenly raised her hand and pulled the Sword of Hesitation out of thin air from behind Yin Shang.
The sword hilt also accidentally bumped into his head.
"Ouch! My sword! What are you doing!"
"Hehe, as I said, to ensure Lochina's safety, you won't be allowed to touch the Holy Sword before you leave the castle. Just now in the prison, it was only temporarily returned to you."
gurgle...
As she moved, the holy sword slowly entered her body through her lower abdomen amidst a strange light and disappeared.
"As long as you step out of the castle, I, the Prince, will return it to you. Of course, you can also try to challenge me, Your Highness!"
Yin Shang panicked: "You—"
Reinhardt, perched on his shoulder, patted Yin Shang with his paw:
“Master, my true form has not been corrupted by darkness within her body. I suggest that for the sake of the greater good, you should still trust her for now.”
Yin Shang sighed and turned to leave.
"Forget it, I won't bother with her."
...
...
...
at the same time.
"Hmm... I can finally get a good night's sleep."
Having severed ties with the princess, Ludwig, who could be described as rather dim-witted in some ways, happily lay down on her bed in the princess's boudoir.
The princess's identity has not yet been officially confirmed, and the empress has claimed that the vampire queen is safe and sound... who knows, Ludwig might become the deposed crown princess one day, so it would be a shame not to enjoy this comfortable bed now.
"Lochina is the real vampire princess. I might wake up one day and be thrown out. But who cares? I'll enjoy it while I can."
...
The famous philosophical problem of the Ship of Theseus goes like this: When a ship has been maintained for many years and is eventually completely replaced with new parts inside and out, is it still the same ship?
Ludwig had thought about it, but she was too lazy to think about the answer.
In order for the vampires to continue to exist in a world that does not welcome them, some people may have already been forced into this situation against their will.
On the path of those who have already entered eternity, sacrifice and abandonment are inevitable.
Ludwig is able to live a carefree and joyful life in the present moment precisely because she stops thinking about many things.
After all, if you have eternal life and endless time, constantly thinking will drive you crazy.
It could take a few years, or even a thousand years. When one crosses the line of reason in endless contemplation, one descends into madness.
Perhaps some people have already reached this point?
