Chapter 164 Slapping the Vampire's Face: The World's Top Man
After swallowing the last drop of alcohol, Lee Myung-bak watched Ilya walk towards him and asked the bartender to make him another "Romantic Night Cocktail".
Ilya walked over and sat down on the chair next to Lee Myung-bak. It wasn't late at night yet, and there weren't many people in the bar. Only Lee Myung-bak and Ilya were at the bar.
The bartender handed Lee Myung-bak a new "Romantic Night" cocktail. The red liquid, adorned with two red roses on the rim of the glass, gave it an air of mystery.
Lee Myung-bak turned around, a nonchalant smile playing on his lips, and pushed the "Romantic Night Cocktail" onto the bar in front of Ilya. "Beautiful wine for a beautiful person. This drink is for you. I hope you like it."
Ilya glanced at the wine pushed in front of her. "Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon" was a must-order for her every time she came here. After all, she loved its beautiful color, which resembled blood.
She also liked the man beside her, who exuded a free spirit and roguish charm. She believed that his blood would be as rich and mellow as strong liquor, leaving a lasting impression.
She picked up the red rose from the glass and played with it in her hand. Then she turned around and tucked the rose behind Lee Myung-bak's ear, saying sweetly, "I really like this glass of wine, but I think this red rose suits you better, so I'll give it back to you."
Ilya's smile and voice are extremely sweet; even Lee Myung-bak had to admit that she is truly beautiful.
Lee Myung-bak removed the rose from his ear, then held it to his nose and inhaled its fragrance. A rich, sweet scent wafted over, causing Lee Myung-bak's heart to skip a beat.
With the rose tucked into his jacket pocket, Lee Myung-bak leaned back in his seat and smiled, "In that case, I'll accept it."
"I'm Lee Myung-bak. Next time we meet, I'll treat you to a drink of 'Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon' again," Lee Myung-bak said, looking at Ilya who was sipping her drink.
Ilya's eyes darkened as she looked at Lee Myung-bak's exposed neck. She finished most of her drink and gave him an extremely sweet smile. "I'm Ilya. I look forward to our next meeting."
After saying that, Ilya prepared to get up and leave. Just as Lee Myung-bak was about to offer to see her out, Ilya pretended to be drunk and fell onto Lee Myung-bak.
Ilya leaned against Lee Myung-bak's chest, rubbed her head, and whispered, "I'm a little dizzy. I wonder if you could help me out?"
Ilya's soft body fell onto Lee Myung-bak's chest, causing him to catch his breath for a moment. He supported Ilya, and upon feeling her cold body, he instantly snapped out of his daze.
Ignoring his rapidly beating heart, he whispered, "I'll help you out, don't worry."
Then, he looked at Leng Yuexing, who was hiding in a corner of the bar, and Leng Yuexing nodded to him.
Lee Myung-bak then carefully helped Ilya walk outside. Even though he knew that Ilya was faking it, he couldn't help but feel pity for her.
Once the two stepped out of the bar, the world suddenly became quiet, so quiet that only the sound of Lee Myung-bak's own heartbeat could be heard.
Ilya leaned against Lee Myung-bak's chest and suddenly wrapped her arms around his waist. "Myung-bak, my head is still spinning. Could you take me to the next station?"
Upon hearing this, Lee Myung-bak glanced in the direction Ilya was pointing; to get to the station behind, one had to pass through a dark alley.
Night had fallen, and the alley was deserted. Lee Myung-bak could guess what Ilya was planning to do with his toes.
However, this was exactly what Lee Myung-bak wanted. But Ilya was clinging to him so tightly that he could hardly move. He took a deep breath and said, "I'll take you there now, but Ilya, please loosen your grip on me a little."
Upon hearing this, Ilya released her grip on Lee Myung-bak's waist, grabbed his clothes instead, and sighed softly, saying, "I understand, let's go."
Ilya's voice was sweet and charming, and Lee Myung-bak's heart skipped a beat. Then he pursed his lips and led Ilya into the alley.
He walked slowly, only quickening his pace when he caught a glimpse of Leng Yuexing out of the corner of his eye.
As soon as they entered the alley, Ilya released her grip on Lee Myung-bak's clothes and instead put her arm around his waist. She looked up at him and said, "Myung-bak, it was a pleasure to meet you. You made it a wonderful evening for me."
After Ilya finished speaking, she closed her eyes and tilted her head back, as if she were asking Lee Myung-bak for a kiss.
Lee Myung-bak couldn't help but lower his head slightly, but stopped at the last moment.
Ilya waited for a while but Li Mingbo didn't kiss her, so she opened her eyes.
After seeing the complex expression in Lee Myung-bak's eyes, she left his embrace, jumped back, and moved away from him.
Then she stomped her foot and said in a spoiled tone, "Ugh~ I'm not playing anymore. Tell me, what do you two vampire hunters want from me?"
Upon hearing this, Lee Myung-bak asked in surprise, "When did you find out?"
"Your curved sword was right on my waist, it was so obvious, how could I not guess?" Ilya said in a coquettish voice.
Upon hearing this, Lee Myung-bak reached behind his back and drew his curved sword. He hadn't expected Ilya to be hugging him; if he had known, he wouldn't have carried his weapon with him.
Leng Yuexing clapped his hands lightly a few times and walked into the alley. He nodded elegantly to Ilya and then said, "As expected of a noble vampire, you were able to sense me."
Leng Yuexing had long concealed his presence, and he hadn't expected that Ilya would be able to detect him.
Ilya's eyes widened slightly as she watched Leng Yuexing walk into the alley. Even with her extensive experience, she had never seen such a handsome man.
The moment he appeared in the alley, she felt as if she had entered another world, where even a dark alley became mysterious and noble.
Ilya pouted. "There really are two people. I was just kidding. I knew there couldn't be just one vampire hunter coming to find me."
She twirled a stray curl from her temple around her finger, tilted her head, and said, "So, what do you want from me?"
“Noble vampires all have their own territories. There are no noble vampires residing in M City, so I wanted to ask why you came here,” Leng Yuexing said bluntly.
His time was precious, and he knew the real reason Ilya came to M City, but he still had to go through a certain procedure.
Upon hearing this, Ilya's sweet smile vanished, her gaze turning sharp as she looked at Leng Yuexing, her voice turning cold. "I am a noblewoman, and it is not my place to give an explanation to you vampire hunters."
Upon hearing this, Leng Yuexing twirled the cross blade in her hand, leaned lazily against the wall, and said, "There is a contract between vampire hunters and vampires. Noble vampires cannot leave their territory without a reason."
"As long as you have a legitimate reason, we will naturally not make things difficult for you."
Ilya wanted to yell at Leng Yuexing and suck his blood dry.
However, after seeing the weapon in Leng Yuexing's hand, she gave up on the idea.
She recognized the weapon in Leng Yuexing's hand—the Blood Rose, the most powerful weapon in the Vampire Hunter Association. Vampires injured by it would suffer severe injuries or even death.
More importantly, the wounds inflicted by the blood rose are difficult to heal and will leave unsightly scars on her body.
Although she knew that the contract Leng Yuexing mentioned was made before the progenitor vampire fell into slumber, very few vampires abide by it nowadays.
However, she still pouted and said, "I came here to see an old friend. I heard that Ellie had been in this city before, so I came to find her."
"But I've been looking for her here for several days and haven't found her, so I'm leaving tomorrow. Don't worry."
After Ilya finished speaking, she turned around and disappeared into the alley at an extremely fast speed.
Lee Myung-bak gazed in the direction Ilya had left, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
He finally understood what Leng Yuexing meant when she said that noble vampires had no human emotions.
Although Ilya appeared lively and adorable in front of him, her eyes were always cold, devoid of any affection, filled only with endless indifference and the desire to hunt.
His heart felt empty, and he suddenly regretted it. He should have kissed her earlier; even if Ilya bit him and drank his blood, he would have been willing.
Leng Yuexing didn't notice Li Mingbo's unusual behavior, since Ilya had told them the reason herself.
Then they can report this reason. As for the other vampire, Ellie, Leng Yuexing knew that she had indeed appeared in M City before.
The message states that Alice is also a staunch supporter of the Progenitor Vampire. She came to M City in an attempt to awaken the Progenitor Vampire, but she failed and returned empty-handed.
Leng Yuexing patted Li Mingbo on the shoulder and said, "Go back and organize the report first. I have some personal matters to attend to."
Lee Myung-bak nodded silently upon hearing this, then turned and left the alley.
Seeing that Li Mingbo had left, Leng Yuexing prepared to go to the place where the progenitor vampire slept.
The original vampire slept in a deep mountain on the outskirts of M City. Based on the description in the information, Leng Yuexing finally found that deep mountain before dawn.
It was a deep mountain with lush trees and dense thorns, making it difficult to move an inch.
