Chapter 173 Slapping the Vampire's Face: The World's Top Man
Before Leng Yuexing could speak, Li Mingbo stepped forward and placed the knife in his hand horizontally in front of Leng Yuexing, the blade pointing towards the vampire.
"Knowing we are vampire hunters, you still dare to provoke us? Do you want to die?" Lee Myung-bak narrowed his eyes and looked at the other party coldly.
Vampire Devon turned to look at Lee Myung-bak and whistled, "Hey buddy, you're not bad either. How about I taste your blood?"
Upon hearing this, Lee Myung-bak sneered and raised his knife to slash at Dai Wen.
Devon bent back and easily dodged Lee Myung-bak's attack.
Lee Myung-bak and Devon suddenly engaged in combat, causing all the vampires around to stop and watch. Some even bared their fangs and stared coldly at Lee Myung-bak.
Some vampires were itching to join the fight, but Devon coldly shouted "Step back!" and they immediately stopped.
"A pureblood vampire?" Lee Myung-bak asked while attacking.
"Brother, you have good taste." Dai Wen said, instantly catching the tip of the knife that Li Mingbo was about to use to attack his face with his right hand.
Leng Yuexing yawned lazily. He hadn't cared much before, but after seeing Li Mingbo being subdued, he turned the blood rose in his hand into a cross-shaped knife.
His figure left an afterimage in place, and the next second he appeared next to Devon.
With a cross-shaped blade pressed against Devon's neck, Leng Yuexing said lazily, "Alright, the game is over."
Dai Wenben had an indifferent expression, but when he looked down and saw the cross-shaped knife in Leng Yuexing's hand, his pupils shrank and a bead of cold sweat rolled down his forehead.
He released his grip on Lee Myung-bak's knife tip and awkwardly raised his hands, saying, "It's alright, it's alright. I just wanted to play a game with you guys."
"Just playing a game?" Augustus's deep, cold voice rang out.
All the vampires around them knelt on one knee to pay homage to their king. Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from Augustus, they trembled and supported themselves with their hands on the ground.
Leng Yuexing smiled slightly, took the cross-shaped knife from Devon's neck, and put it away after it transformed back into a cross blade in her hand.
Devon turned and saw Augustus, flashing a fawning smile as he said, "Your Majesty! Congratulations on your awakening!"
Augustus sneered and slapped Devon across the face.
He slowly withdrew his hand, and said with a sneer, "Devin, don't you remember my orders?"
Devon's face was slapped to the side, and he knelt on the ground with a thud. While covering his slapped face, he looked up at Augustus and said, "Your Majesty, I have followed your orders throughout your slumber!"
He chuckled sheepishly, "I just can't resist beautiful women. I've always had this problem, as you know."
"But! I really haven't killed a single human! At most, I've just drunk some blood, and the other party did it willingly!"
Augustus cracked his knuckles. "If you've hunted humans before, do you think I'd let you off so easily?"
“The moon and stars are not for you to covet, remember that?” Augustus said in a low voice.
"I remember, I remember!" Devon nodded hurriedly, feeling extremely regretful as he thought about what he had just said. Why couldn't he correct this bad habit?
Seeing that Augustus had finished dealing with the matter, Leng Yuexing chuckled and asked, "Why are you here?"
Augustus had always longed for Leng Yuexing's blood, and now that he had seen Leng Yuexing, he felt even more thirsty.
Even after drinking the entire refrigerator full of animal blood that Rice gave him, it couldn't alleviate his longing for Leng Yuexing.
“I guessed you were coming today, so I came to pick you up early,” Augustus said in a hoarse voice.
"Your guess was quite accurate," Leng Yuexing said, her tired eyes glistening with tears.
"The elders sent me to negotiate with you and discuss some future cooperation."
Augustus's Adam's apple bobbed, and his blood-red eyes uncontrollably turned dark red.
“Oh? Further cooperation? Of course, no problem, but we’ll have to wait until I’ve dealt with those little guys,” Augustus said with a smile.
Leng Yuexing nodded, "Okay."
Augustus smiled and stepped forward, putting his arm around Leng Yuexing's waist. "In that case, you should go back to the castle and get some sleep. We can discuss it again when you're awake."
After saying that, Augustus, carrying Leng Yuexing, leaped a few times and instantly returned to the castle several hundred meters away.
After Augustus left, the vampires kneeling on the ground seemed to come alive, panting heavily as they got up.
Noble vampires were alright, but ordinary vampires had their backs soaked with cold sweat.
Devon glanced at the vampire beside him, who looked like he had just survived a catastrophe, and laughed, "The king is still so handsome. I really want to taste the king's blood..."
The next second, Devon realized what he had said and slapped himself again. "Why can't I control my mouth!" Devon said with a face full of annoyance, frowning as he continued walking towards the castle.
Lee Myung-bak watched as Leng Yuexing was carried away by Augustus, his lips slightly parted as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.
He smiled helplessly, raised his face, and resignedly walked towards the castle.
Suddenly, he was hugged from behind, and something cold pressed against his neck.
Lee Myung-bak's eyes turned cold. He turned around, drew his sword, and slashed backward, only to see Ilya standing behind him.
"How cruel! Just the night before last, you let me drink your blood, and now, only a day later, you've turned your back on me." Ilya pouted shyly, her eyes filled with bloodthirsty desire.
Lee Myung-bak looked at her helplessly. Every time Ilya looked at him like that, his heart would race. He really wanted to see a different expression in Ilya's eyes.
It could be a satisfied expression after drinking blood, as long as it's not like this.
Remembering what Augustus had said about discussing it with the boss later, Lee Myung-bak licked his lips and gave a roguish smile, "Go to your room, you can drink as much as you want."
Ilya couldn't help but show her sharp teeth, and said coquettishly, "Okay!"
Ilya took Lee Myung-bak back to her room, and when the banquet started that evening, Ilya changed into her dress and walked towards the castle's underground hall with a satisfied look on her face.
At this moment, all the high-ranking vampires in the vampire clan had gathered.
Each of them held a cup of red liquid, which was animal blood that Ilya had prepared in advance.
Although vampires are not particularly fond of animal blood, they would not dare to openly consume human blood in front of the king in such a situation.
In a corner of the hall, Wright and Claude sat upright, with the heads of the Miller and Taylor families, whom they had captured, beside them.
The two clan leaders sat calmly in their chairs.
“Wright, you don’t need to look at us like that. Do you think we’re going to run away?” said the head of the Miller family.
Wright picked at his ear. "Could it be that my memory is playing tricks on me? If I remember correctly, when I found you, you were trying to run away, weren't you?"
“How could that be?” the Miller family patriarch retorted. “I was just about to leave for M City at that time!”
“Oh… that’s even better. We’ll just sit here and wait to see the king. After all, the king told us that you are absolutely not allowed to escape.” Wright said, tightening his grip on Chief Miller’s shoulder.
As the group remained locked in a stalemate, the lights in the hall suddenly flickered, and Augustus slowly walked into the hall, his royal aura instantly filling the entire space.
All the vampires knelt on one knee facing Augustus, shouting, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
