Because it was too late, Zhao Manyan couldn't make it over in time. To prevent the vampire from attacking Liu Ru at night, Lin Chen and Mo Fan discussed it and decided that Mo Fan would stay behind to protect Liu Ru.

After all, Mo Fan's secondary cultivation is in the Shadow element, making him quite skilled in both stealth and tracking.

That night, Mo Fan used his shadow-based abilities to hide in Liu Ru's courtyard, waiting for the vampire to arrive. However, by dawn the next day, there was still no sign of the vampire.

When Lin Chen and Zhao Manyan arrived at Liu Ru's house, Mo Fan also emerged from the shadows.

"How did things go last night?" Lin Chen asked.

"He hasn't come all night," Mo Fan said.

"Zhao Manyan, from now on, Liu Ru will be in your care during the day," Lin Chen said, patting Zhao Manyan on the shoulder.

"During the day? What about at night?" Zhao Manyan asked curiously, "Can't you leave the nighttime to me?"

"Why do you seem a bit unreliable?" Lin Chen said.

"I meant don't protect people at night! Don't slander someone's innocence out of thin air!" Zhao Manyan shouted.

"Mo Fan and I will keep watch tonight. You should go and get some rest," Lin Chen said.

Hearing voices coming from the courtyard, Liu Ru came out of the house.

"This is Zhao Manyan, a light and water-based defensive mage. For the time being, he will be acting as a suitor."

"He's specifically in charge of protecting you," Lin Chen said, pointing to Zhao Manyan.

"Hello, I'm a professional defensive mage. With me protecting you, you can rest assured." Zhao Manyan struck a pose that he thought was very cool.

Liu Ru smiled slightly, nodded, and invited Lin Chen and the other two into the room: "You came so early, you probably haven't had breakfast yet, right? I'll get you something to eat."

Liu Rulai went into the kitchen and got busy. Before long, she prepared three simple breakfasts and brought them to Lin Chen and the other two.

Looking at the food in front of him, Zhao Manyan leaned closer to Lin Chen and Mo Fan and whispered, "Such a good girl is rare these days. She's much better than all my girlfriends, who can't do anything but spend money."

"I suddenly feel that Zhao Manyan is a bit unreliable," Lin Chen said to Mo Fan.

Mo Fan carefully recalled Zhao Manyan's daily life and nodded: "I think so too."

To Liu Ru, he seemed to be just as dangerous as that vampire, except that he didn't kill.

"You two, don't slander me! I'm serious about every relationship!" Zhao Manyan shouted.

Liu Ru stood aside, looking at the three people in front of her, not knowing what to say for a moment. However, in order to avenge her sister, she still fully cooperated with Lin Chen and the others' plan.

In the following days, Liu Ru returned to school to continue her classes. Zhao Manyan protected her as a suitor. At night, Lin Chen and Mo Fan hid in the woods behind the fence outside the dormitory, waiting for her to come to them.

However, for several nights in a row, Lin Chen and Mo Fan did not see the vampire arrive. Instead, they heard several inappropriate sounds.

This made Lin Chen begin to doubt whether the current timeline of events was different from the timeline in his memory.

That night, Lin Chen and Mo Fan waited until the early hours of the morning, and both of them felt like they were about to fall asleep.

Suddenly, Mo Fan smelled a dark aura permeating the air.

Mo Fan instantly perked up and whispered to Lin Chen, "The fish has taken the bait."

Mo Fan is a shadow mage, and he can easily detect any dense shadow aura nearby. Shadow, simply put, is darkness. Ordinary darkness can be dispelled by light, but true shadow absorbs even light, forming a black hole region where no light can be seen.

"I noticed it too."

Lin Chen looked up at the roadside lights not far away. Before, some lights would have been scattered into the woods, but now the entire forest was shrouded in darkness, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. If it were any darker, it would almost form a wall of darkness.

"He's actually a master of shadow magic. We must find this vampire as soon as possible, or Liu Ru will be in danger." Mo Fan and Lin Chen hid in the shadow area created by the other party, quietly waiting for the vampire to appear.

Mo Fan originally thought the vampire would barge into the girls' dormitory, allowing him to stage a heroic rescue. However, the vampire showed no intention of entering, instead maintaining the shadowy area that perfectly concealed its presence.

Since the vampire didn't appear, Lin Chen and Mo Fan waited patiently. There was no other way; the vampire's shadow abilities were far superior to Mo Fan's, and a hasty appearance would only alert him.

As for Lin Chen's Black Gatomon, since it hadn't been summoned beforehand, he didn't dare to make any rash moves, fearing that releasing magic in this dark area would alert the vampires to something amiss.

"Look, isn't that Liu Ru!" In the darkness, Lin Chen's eyes were fixed on the balcony of Liu Ru's dormitory. Suddenly, he noticed something was wrong and immediately reminded Mo Fan beside him.

Mo Fan followed Lin Chen's gaze and, sure enough, saw a somewhat frail-looking girl slowly climbing down the water pipe on the balcony. Her weak appearance made Lin Chen and Mo Fan suspect that she might fall off the pipe if she wasn't careful.

However, Lin Chen and Mo Fan's worries did not come true. Liu Ru successfully climbed down and opened a gap in the wire fence below the dormitory building, crawled out through it, and came to the woods outside the school.

The forest was shrouded in darkness at the moment. After Liu Ru's weak figure entered the forest, she seemed to be swallowed by the darkness and disappeared without a trace.

"Damn it, no wonder Liu Ru said she hasn't been feeling well lately. It seems that the vampire has bewitched her and sucked a lot of her blood." Mo Fan cursed under his breath.

"Hurry up and follow her. Don't let Liu Ru face the danger alone." Lin Chen's heart sank, and he urged her on.

"OK."

Mo Fan released shadow magic, enveloping Lin Chen. Together they transformed into a shadow, closely following behind Liu Ru.

However, Lin Chen and Mo Fan did not rush to make a move. They had not seen the vampire yet, and they were unsure whether the vampire was secretly probing them. They were afraid that the vampire would notice something amiss and run away.

"Twenty, that vampire is a real scoundrel. He just drained the older sister's blood and now he's turning on the younger sister."

Mo Fan followed behind Liu Ru, his face filled with anger, his gaze fixed on her.

With his shadow element, he can see a lot in the dark.

As Liu Ru walked deeper into the forest, she soon came to a slightly open area, and a tall figure in a trench coat appeared in the darkness.
