"You're so annoying! Fine, I'll take you there now, hurry up and catch up!" Sayaka Kirasaka took Himeragi Yukina's arm and walked ahead.
Shi Chen walked along, his gaze intentionally or unintentionally falling on his shapely buttocks.
Looking at it from the front, it seems a bit more perky. He was getting a little itchy and planned to find an opportunity to teach Kirasaka Sayaka a lesson again.
Her attitude was still so bad; it just shows she wasn't taught a lesson last time, and she's not scared enough.
Dimitri Vatra was not on this floor; Shichen followed the two to the upper deck.
There was no need for investigation; his vampire nature told him that his fellow vampires were getting closer.
Against the backdrop of the dark ocean and night sky, only one man stands on the vast deck. He is wearing a pure white coat, has a tall and elegant figure, and wears a smile. He is very handsome.
As soon as the young man saw Shi Chen, he tossed his golden hair and stared at him with his azure eyes. In an instant, Shi Chen was enveloped in pure white light.
"teacher!"
Himeragi Yukina reacted immediately. She hurriedly pulled out a spear from the instrument case and rushed back towards Shichen.
"It's alright." Shichen didn't care about the light emanating from him at all and waved to Himeragi Yukina who was rushing towards him.
"Teacher?" Himeragi Yukina looked at him with concern.
Bathed in light, one can sense its true form: a familiar, a radiant and dazzling fire serpent, a vampire familiar possessing scorching energy.
However, playing with fire in front of him would be like showing off one's limited skills before an expert.
boom--!
In the blink of an eye, golden flames erupted from his entire body, enveloping him in light and scorching his form.
"hiss--"
The Fiery Serpent hissed, but it was a scream of agony. After all, the familiar was a cursed creature, and being burned by the sacred fire undoubtedly caused it double the damage.
The beast that was unleashed like a bolt of lightning caught Kojo completely off guard. He didn't even understand what was happening.
The pure white flames and the golden flames intertwined and entangled, and the time remained completely unaffected by their embrace.
However, the entanglement only lasted for a moment. The golden flames visibly devoured the pure white flames and their true form, the fire serpent.
Before the fiery serpent could even hiss, it vanished into nothingness, turning to ashes.
The golden flames continued to burn, seemingly consciously transforming into the shape of a firebird, about to pounce on the culprit—Dimitri Vatra—but Shichen withdrew them back into his body, looking at the other party expressionlessly.
"Well--!"
Dimitri Vatra groaned, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. His familiars had been burned to ashes, and he was naturally injured as well.
"Wow, that's amazing..." Saya Kirasaka exclaimed in surprise.
Although their brief exchange seemed insignificant, how could she not understand the power of familiars, especially since Demetrius Vatra was the vampire closest to the True Ancestor?
However, his familiars were easily destroyed by Shichen.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a lingering fear. She had actually dared to assassinate Shi Chen before; she must have had a death wish.
Fortunately, the other party didn't take her seriously.
I don't know if it was because of Setsuna or something else... Come to think of it, he kindly came back to treat her, even though he also benefited from it.
"Teacher... are you really alright?" Compared to Sayaka Kirasaka's surprise, Yukina Himeragi was more worried about whether he was injured.
It was an attack from a familiar beast, and it happened so suddenly, wrapping itself around his entire body. What if he got injured?
"It's nothing. Do I look like something's wrong?" Shi Chen reached out, patted her head, and said with a smile.
"Really? Teacher, you can't lie to me."
“I wouldn’t lie to you about something like this.” Shi Chen smiled, then glanced at Dimitri Vatra.
"No, as expected of the Fifth True Ancestor..."
Even though he was injured and his mouth was bleeding, Dimitri Vatra clapped his hands without smiling.
He walked over slowly, licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, and resumed his nonchalant expression: "Oh dear, as expected, a familiar of this level can't hurt you."
The tone was as if it weren't something he had done himself.
"Do you think I would forgive you for this level of praise?" Shi Chen asked calmly.
"of course not."
Suddenly, he knelt down on one knee and respectfully performed the aristocratic etiquette.
"I have just tested your might and offended you in many ways. I sincerely apologize. My name is Demetrius Vatra. I was granted the title of Duke of Ordiaru by the Forgotten War King of our True Ancestor. It is my great honor to welcome you tonight."
The etiquette of the nobility was indeed extraordinary, and Shi Chen found himself actually persuaded by his apology.
"So you are Dimitri Vatra? What brings you here?" Shi Chen looked down at him and asked calmly.
Dimitri Vatra noticed that the hour was not moving, and he happily raised his head, a kind yet cunning smile appearing on his handsome face.
"Let me first say it's a pleasure to meet you, Lord Shichen, my beloved Fifth True Ancestor, the impossible Fifth True Ancestor."
As Vatra spoke, her eyes seemed to gleam with adoration as she gazed at Shichen with deep affection, opening her arms as if to embrace him.
Upon seeing this, Shi Chen frowned. He had already forgiven his offense, but it seemed that Shi Chen really did have designs on him.
They really deserved to be killed.
Without warning, Shichen reached out and grabbed Dimitri Vatra by the neck, lifting him up like a chick.
"teacher......?!"
"Huh--!"
Himeragi Yukina and Kirasaka Sayaka cried out in alarm.
Shi Chen ignored them, staring coldly at Dimitri Vatra, his tone icy.
"You don't really forgive me because of this, do you?"
"Uh—no, no way..."
Enveloped by a sense of oppression, by that suffocating intimidation, Dimitri Vatra's face turned pale, but he did not raise his hand to struggle, letting the hour choke him.
His appearance made it difficult for Shi Chen to kill him.
How wonderful it would be to put up a fight.
Shichen, bored, released him.
"Phew—" Dimitri Vatra breathed a sigh of relief, his smile unchanged, displaying his gentlemanly demeanor.
“Teacher…” Himeragi Yukina came to Toki’s side.
"Don't worry, I'm not someone who doesn't know his limits. I just want him to know that not just anyone can be offended." Shi Chen raised his hand, placed it on the top of her head, and ruffled it.
"That's good... I thought the teacher was going to kill him directly, that would have been a big problem," Himeragi Yukina said softly.
"No matter how big the problem is, it's not a problem. It's just that I don't like to solve problems with violence, otherwise Yue will be unhappy."
“Teacher Nangong…” Himeragi Yukina pursed her lips.
“You’re involved too,” Shi Chen suddenly said.
"Huh?" Himeragi Yukina stared at him blankly, her bright eyes unblinking, as she pushed against his hand.
"You don't want to see trouble either, right?" Shi Chen asked with a smile.
"Is that so...? Is the teacher not intervening because of me?" she asked softly.
"We can't let the gauze ruin its beauty, can we?"
"Hey! What do you mean? And take your hands off Yukina's head right now!" Saya Kirasaka could hear the two of them, and she immediately scolded them.
"What's it to you? Yukina didn't say anything, and she was actually quite happy that I ruffled her hair." Tokishi rolled his eyes at Kirasaka Sayaka.
"I do not believe!"
"Then you can ask Setsuna yourself."
"Setsuna?"
"Um..." Himeragi Yukina was too shy to answer. She was still feeling smug about Toki's words and her mind was a little confused.
Her hesitation only convinced Sayaka Kirasaka of it all.
“Yukina…” Kirasaka Sayaka looked heartbroken.
“I mean… if possible, could you please stop flirting in front of me?” Dimitri Vatra couldn’t help but interject.
"We...we didn't flirt," Himeragi Yukina denied shyly.
“It’s fine to deny it, but you need to understand that I’ve already considered you a rival in love,” Dimitri Vatra said.
"Love rival?"
"You're the sword sorcerer of the Lion King Organization, aren't you?"
"Yes, my name is Himeragi Yukina. I am here tonight as the monitor of the Fifth Progenitor."
“Is that so?” Dimitri Vatra wasn’t very interested.
Himeragi Yukina noticed his perfunctory attitude, but she didn't care and continued to ask, "Mr. Vatra, what did you mean by 'rival in love' just now?"
“I deeply love the Fourth Progenitor, but the Fourth Progenitor has been swallowed up by the Hour, so my love has naturally been transferred to him,” Dimitri Vatra explained.
"But... isn't the Fourth Ancestor still alive?"
“That’s different. They are just physical bodies. The true Fourth Ancestor is no longer here.”
“Oh, but aren’t you all men?” Himeragi Yukina said, glancing at the clock involuntarily.
"What's wrong with that? Love knows no gender."
“This…” Himeragi Yukina’s expression was strange. She glanced at the time out of the corner of her eye and noticed that he was expressionless.
“In short, since you’ve denied it, then I don’t need to worry about you anymore. You can approach Shichen at will, right?” Dimitri Vatra asked to confirm.
"That won't do either." Himeragi Yukina said with a serious face.
"why?"
"It's too dangerous for the two of you to be in contact; it could cause serious problems."
Their identities, status, and power make it clear that they are not suited to interact. Whether intentional or not, it will lead to misunderstandings and unnecessary trouble.
