The villainous prince who bullied Feng Aotian was actually myself.

"The washroom is just outside the door at the far end of the first floor. There's a heated hot spring there. Go take a shower first, and I'll go get you a pillow."

Philippa said.

"okay."

Leon nodded.

As Philippa said, there is indeed a hot spring pool here, with a maximum depth of about one meter and a total area of ​​about twenty square meters.

Soaking in the warm pool, Leon felt incredibly comfortable.

The vampire nobles live a truly luxurious life. Because they are afraid of sunlight and suffer strong rejection from ordinary humans, they created their own paradise, the Thorn Forest.

Furthermore, as long as one drinks a fixed amount of blood every day, one can live forever and maintain youth.

Holding salons every day, reading books, soaking in hot springs, etc., this is simply the life of a god.

Of course, the lives of lower-class vampires may be miserable, with endless exploitation and oppression. Due to their immortality, the aristocratic circles are too fixed, making it difficult for them to rise up.

Leon was deep in thought, leaning against the pool wall. But as soon as he looked up, he saw Philippa's face.

Philippa appeared at some unknown time; she was now squatting on the edge of the pool where Leon was leaning, her gaze following the hot spring water downwards, her face showing a shy expression.

"Philippa, why didn't you say anything before coming in?"

Leon hurriedly reached out, but didn't know where to block.

"Why bother blocking it? It'll fall into my hands sooner or later anyway."

Philippa laughed.

"You said it was only a matter of time."

Leon insisted on not showing it; a man should also have his pride.

"What were you thinking just now? I walked right next to you and you didn't even notice."

Philippa was curious.

"I'm thinking about the two of us."

Leon said seriously, "Look, you vampires can live forever. As long as you are not killed, you can live for a very long time, but humans cannot."

"Yes, that's right."

Philippa nodded.

"Years later, I may be a decrepit old man, while you may still be a beautiful young girl."

Leon continued.

"I never thought of it this way before, but now it seems like it really is a problem!"

Philippa also became serious.

But then she suddenly gave a wicked smile, "But in that case, you're an old man, and you can sleep with a wife who looks like an eighteen-year-old girl. Shouldn't you be even more excited?"

"You have such a twisted sense of humor. You should probably stop reading those black-and-white comic books that are circulating outside."

Leon rolled his eyes at Philippa.

"Tsk, the person who said that must have read a lot of books themselves."

Philippa retorted.

"There's no need to worry, I can handle this problem."

Philippa laughed, "I'll always keep my Embrace for you. If one day you change your mind and want to join the glorious evolution, I can develop you. Maybe you'll become a vampire girl and be very beautiful."

"Uh... let's forget about it. Humans have their own ways to achieve immortality. Once you reach the Peerless Realm, you become an angel and don't need to drink blood to be afraid of death."

Leon said, "I'm currently blessed with good fortune, so there's a very good chance I can reach the Peerless level."

"Since there won't be a situation where we're separated by life and death after you die of old age, why are you arguing with me about all this?"

Philippa looked annoyed.

"Because... I'm stalling for time!"

Leon chuckled, "I'm done washing, you can take your time, I'm off!"

Leon dived into the water to swim to the other side of the shore where he had left his clothes, but Philippa, quick as a flash, grabbed his ear.

"Run? You can't run away. This is my home turf."

Philippa gave a cold laugh.

"How dare you, Philippa! I am now the Emperor of the Fchester Empire! How dare you act so disrespectfully!"

"I will become the Queen of the Vampires in a few days! When did you, the emperor of a human empire, have the right to control my vampires?"

Philippa chuckled mischievously, then immediately jumped into the spring.

Water splashed everywhere, and she was instantly soaked. Her blue dress became transparent in the water, revealing her white underwear.

The already warm hot spring became incredibly hot at this moment.

"Leon, do you remember when we first kissed?"

Philippa said.

"It's just the day of my wedding."

"Leon said."

"Not."

"No? That can't be right. Nothing happened between us before, did it?"

"you sure?"

"..."

Looking at Philippa, Leon was a little uncertain. Could it be that he had been hypnotized by Philippa before?

But before Leon could figure it out, Philippa's sudden kiss interrupted all his thoughts.

She kissed him forcefully, her tongue swirling wildly, as if she wanted to devour Leon completely.

Finally, she bit Leon's lip hard, ending the kiss with satisfaction.

Leon's lips were bitten until they bled, and the blood stained them red.

"Thank you for the treat. Your blood tastes really good."

Philippa licked away the blood that Leon had spilled, and then licked her lips again, seemingly still wanting more.

"You...you actually bit me and sucked my blood while we were kissing!"

Leon was a little angry.

"This is your punishment."

Philippa said, "Our first kiss was indeed at the wedding, but I only questioned it once, and you became indecisive. You must have been thinking about kissing other women and confusing your memories with mine with your memories with them."

"Your logic... is clearly just being unreasonable."

"Yeah, I just like to be unreasonable, what can you do about it?"

Philippa grinned mischievously.

"You must be uncomfortable soaking in a hot spring wearing a skirt."

Leon gave a wicked smile.

"What—what do you want to do!"

Philippa immediately crossed her arms over her chest in alarm.

"Weren't you so tough just now? Are you scared now?"

"Afraid? How could I be? I just don't want to let you off so easily."

Philippa said haughtily.

"Then I'll go?"

"Hey—wait a minute!"

Philippa shyly smoothed her hair, gathered her wet, long hair into a ball, and draped it over her shoulders before tying it up with a hair tie on her wrist.

"It seems... it's not really appropriate to soak in a hot spring wearing a skirt. Could you help me take it off?"

Philippa's voice was barely audible, her disheveled hair clinging damply to her delicate face, giving her an indescribable charm. She played with her long hair over her shoulders, glanced shyly at Leon, then immediately looked away, gazing down at the water.

Who can withstand such a test!

Leon, who is facing a test, feels overwhelmed.

Hmm... not just the head on the neck.

The air was filled with mist, and the splashing sounds of water splashing echoed continuously in the ethereal vapor.

Chapter 40: Even the Coolest Moments Are Cute

I don't know how long I slept.

Feeling the softness in his arms turning, Leon woke up.

"Sorry, I woke you up."

Philippa gave Leon a light kiss on the lips and smiled.

"I have to go to the morning meeting."

Philippa slipped out of Leon's arms, got out of bed, and picked out an elegant and dazzling black velvet dress from the wardrobe. She then changed her clothes without any hesitation in the room where Leon was still.

"It's still early before breakfast time, you can sleep a little longer. A maid will come to remind you when it's time."

Philippa said she was already dressed in her undergarments, which were matching red lace.

"Never mind, the bed is cold without you here."

After making a joke, Leon got out of bed and quickly put on his clothes.

"What you're saying isn't scientifically sound."

Philippa said with a serious expression, "The normal body temperature of humans is around 36 to 37 degrees Celsius, but the body temperature of vampires is only 25 to 27 degrees Celsius. According to the law of thermal balance, you will lose body heat when you hold me. My body is actually cold to you, so how can you say it's warm?"

"You still study that little bit of physics and science?"

Leon laughed.

"Yes, although all vampires can wield supernatural powers, it cannot be denied that your human scientific research can indeed greatly facilitate life and explain the world from a perspective other than mysticism."

Philippa said, "Speaking of which, do you know what happiness is, Leon?"

"Huh? Why do you ask that?"

Leon was puzzled.

“I feel that, as your wife, it is my duty to make you feel pleasure in that area.”

Philippa paused slightly before speaking shyly, "Human bodies and vampire bodies are ultimately different. You humans all like things hot, right... but here, no matter how hot you are when you come in, it will always be ice cold."

"Oh...you're overthinking it. That's all in the books. In reality, the human body doesn't get that hot..."

Leon felt the conversation had suddenly become so awkward. "Don't overthink it. I'm not unhappy being with you."

"But you humans call us vampires, why add 'ghost' to that?"

Philippa said, "Part of the reason is that, to you humans, our bodies are almost like dead corpses..."

"Well, those are just stories made up by people who are afraid of you and have prejudices against you, in order to vilify you. Don't worry, I have no prejudice against vampires. Vampires are also a race in this world. Since we are all intelligent beings living in the same world, we are a community of life."

Leon said, "We should respect each other and live in peace."

"Wow, you're touching me. So even when things got really passionate last night, I felt like you were still wary of me. You were terrified that I would suddenly choke you and turn you into a vampire, right?"

Philippa clicked her tongue.

"No, that's not it. It would be nice to be a vampire and live an immortal life in the Thorn Forest. But as the emperor of the Fchester Empire, the leader of mankind, and with the people needing me, I feel I can't just stay in the Thorn Forest and do nothing. I have to create a better life for everyone and for the world."

"Hey, His Majesty Leon is truly a man of great love. Such a benevolent monarch will surely build an unprecedentedly powerful empire!"

Philippa said sarcastically.
