My vampire princess wants to repay a debt of gratitude.

This memory is very long because the water bear is so resilient that it cannot be killed by extreme temperatures, ionizing radiation, or lack of oxygen.

Lin Mo spent several centuries before ending his life as a water bear. The memories of those centuries were very dull, mostly consisting of encountering harsh environments and then choosing to live in seclusion.

If you put a human consciousness into a water bear, it would have gone mad centuries ago.

Lin Mo couldn't help but wonder what sins he had committed to be reincarnated as a water bear, a bat, a blade of grass, and a cockroach.

Lin Mo was almost reluctant to look at the final layer, the ocean of memories.

I thought I would have a different life, but I ended up experiencing the life of a different species.

However, Lin Mo was not one to give up halfway, so he still wanted to take a look.

Lin Mo reached out and touched the ocean of memories.

His body was immediately swallowed by the ocean.

Unlike previous memories, this layer of the ocean of memories is full of dangers, all of which are manifestations of the emotions from the original memories.

Surrounded by a group of spiritual monsters, some blue, some yellow, and some green, they were like a blurry mist, their appearances indistinct, yet they were undeniably real. With each monster that charged at Lin Mo, he felt his soul being violently attacked, as if something had rushed into his body.

"what--"

Lin Mo screamed in agony. His spirit felt a tearing sensation as if a foreign object had invaded it. Pain traveled through every nerve to his brain, heart, and every part of his body.

Along with its original body, which had long since detached from its soul and was sealed within the amber, it trembled.

Lin Mo's face turned deathly pale, and a feeling of suffocation welled up inside him.

He wanted to escape this ocean of memories, immediately, right away, but his body was bound together, as if invisible shackles were stretching him into a starfish shape, subjecting him to torture in the ocean of memories.

Each mental monster that passed through his body caused him the pain of mental detachment.

But his memories are gradually being pieced together.

It's unclear how long this process took, but Lin Mo was finally expelled from the ocean of memories.

He recalled his first life, when he was his ancestor, that eccentric great wizard.

He was born into a family of wizards, but he was unconventional and was expelled from the family. His original family name was Lin, but he was stripped of his family name and changed to Lin Yijie.

Even after leaving his family, he still became a great wizard.

The Lin family has always been ruthless in their pursuit of exterminating demons, but Lin Yijie believes that the most terrifying thing in the world is not demons, but the human heart.

Therefore, he enjoyed associating with demons and subdued many of them, writing down the Lich's Correspondence.

He was indeed the one who saved Ye Zimo back then; his witchcraft was even superior to Ye Zimo's.

He also transformed Ye Zimo into a true sun-loving being, capable of walking the world during the day.

He really liked Ye Zimo, not in a romantic way, but because he enjoyed studying Ye Zimo.

Unfortunately, his wife loathed Ye Zimo, perhaps out of female jealousy.

His wife was also from another wizarding family, and they had been betrothed since childhood. After he was expelled from his family, he thought the engagement would be broken off, but his wife disregarded her family's objections and still married him.

The two were childhood sweethearts and secretly pledged their lives to each other after they came of age.

He loved his wife very much, and at her request, he had no choice but to part ways with Ye Zimo.

Chapter 211 The Old Wizard's Scheme

Ye Zimo wanted to repay his life-saving grace and said she was willing to grant him one request.

So he said he hoped Ye Zimo would transform one of his descendants into a vampire.

Because of his wife's stubbornness, he had to let Ye Zimo leave, and was unable to continue his research on vampires.

Lin Mo could clearly sense that the old wizard had even considered dissecting Ye Zimo back then, but he held back.

The old wizard was more like a scholar filled with curiosity about the world than a wizard.

He comprehended the meaning of life and death, and the cycle of reincarnation, at the age of forty.

He suffered divine retribution at the age of fifty, but before the retribution, he had already made plans for the rest of his life.

He even used witchcraft to choose the race for his next life!

He chose an unconscious life in order to preserve the memories of this life until he awoke.

So he was an animal or a plant in every life until he became Lin Mo.

Lin Mo had always thought that the old wizard's fanaticism for vampires stemmed from worship, but in reality, the old wizard simply developed a strong interest in vampires because he knew that vampires were humans transformed by wizards.

Vampires and humans share the same origin.

He wants to defeat the wizard who turned humans into vampires, and he wants to turn vampires back into humans.

He pursued the limits of witchcraft, which became his obsession.

In his first reincarnation, he chose a species with an incredibly long lifespan to test whether he would go insane; vampires also have incredibly long lifespans.

In his second life, he chose a blood-sucking species so that he could taste the flavor of blood.

In his third life, he chose herbal plants that had a restraining effect on vampires in order to better understand them.

In the fourth life, I chose to be a cockroach—well, so I could die sooner and enter the fifth life.

His initial statement to Ye Zimo that he was looking for his descendants and trying to convert him was actually a strategic move.

The old wizard knew his wife well; she would never allow her offspring to become vampires, whom she despised.

She brewed verbena tea every day for the Lin family's children.

Having consumed verbena for a long time, the Lin family children had long since developed antibodies in their bodies, making their blood highly toxic to vampires.

No vampire would willingly convert a poison vial; in fact, they would actively stay away from it.

This is also why, by the time it reached Lin Mo's generation, Lin Mo's blood was already capable of harming powerful vampires like Ye Zimo.

The wife's aversion to vampires was passed down to her descendants, making them unwilling to be transformed into vampires.

Therefore, Ye Zimo always encountered setbacks when trying to find his descendants, until she found her own reincarnation, Lin Mo.

Lin Mo initially opposed becoming a vampire, believing it was her own will, but she never imagined it was a subtle inheritance from her family.

This kind of education began with the old wizard's wife and was carried out on his descendants.

Vampires are not as good as humans.

Therefore, Lin Mo did not want to become a vampire.

The old wizard had long anticipated this, but because Ye Zimo was a vampire, she could sense that she was the old wizard's reincarnation. Despite his initial refusal, Ye Zimo kept her promise and stayed by his side.

Because what way is there to repay a debt of gratitude more directly than repaying one's original benefactor?

Transforming countless descendants of old wizards brings Ye Zimo a greater sense of accomplishment and satisfaction than transforming an old wizard himself.

Ye Zimo was very clever. Back then, she knew that the old wizard wanted to study her, so transforming the old wizard was also a kind of perverse pleasure.

I'll turn you into a vampire, then you can study yourself.

Ye Zimo probably had this idea when she first met Lin Mo.

This idea was also within the old wizard's expectations.

Lin Mo's awakening of his memories upon entering the Spirit Realm was also within his expectations; otherwise, how could he continue his research on the vampires?

Because his lifelong wish was to transform vampires into humans.

He even felt that vampires were just sick humans, so he was willing to test drugs on himself, turning himself into a patient, and then experimenting on them one by one.

The only thing he didn't expect was that Lin Mo would fall in love with Ye Zimo.

The vampire princess actually fell in love with him in this life, and even risked her life to enter the spirit world to save him.

Lin Mo recalled everything about the old wizard, and a strong sense of loss suddenly rose in his heart.

Unexpectedly, she was different from Xiang Yu, and Ye Zimo was not Yu Ji.

Although they knew each other in their past lives, their relationship was not that of lovers at all, but more like that of enemies who would sabotage each other.

The subject of my research in my past life is my girlfriend in this life; this is another kind of research.

Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh at himself.

In addition, her current younger sister, Lin Xuan, is from a blended family and has no blood relation to her whatsoever.

But over the years, I've come to regard her as a true family member.

But he suddenly remembered something strange: his aunt was clearly Lin Xuan's aunt, so why would she tell him about the history of the wizard family?

Lin Mo thought about it carefully and finally figured it out.

"Hahaha, hahaha."

Lin Mo let out a twisted laugh, tears streaming down his face.

I never imagined that my life had been completely orchestrated by the old wizard—or rather, I was the old wizard.

Ye Zimo waited on the shore for about 6 hours before Lin Mo finally walked out of the ocean and returned to Heart Island.

"You know it all?"

Ye Zimo asked calmly.

Lin Mo's soul had returned to its original form, and after regaining his memories, he naturally resumed his witchcraft.

He removed Ye Zimo's mask, and the skin of a guide she was wearing.

Ye Zimo returned to her original appearance, and the two stood on the shore, gazing at each other for a long time.

Lin Mo reached out, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her thin lips.

Ye Zimo did not resist; she knew that Lin Mo's emotions were very complicated at the moment.

He is searching for his true self.

After kissing Ye Zimo, Lin Mo buried his head in her body.

Ye Zimo held him quietly like that.

The little girl watched from the side, puzzled and blushing. She covered her eyes with her hands, but couldn't help opening them again to peek through her fingers.

You liked me before, didn't you?
