Have you had enough, Miss Vampire? It's time to get down to business.

The first is fireworks... Although there are fireworks in this world, the gunpowder technology is relatively crude and simple. In terms of sophistication and splendor, it cannot be compared with the fireworks shows that Lor had seen in his previous life.

Furthermore, the types of flowers in this world were different from those on Earth. There were some plants that were very similar, like the roses on this world, but there were also many flowers that Lor was once very familiar with that didn't exist in this world at all...

Isabella really likes flowers, and I really want her to see them too.

"Oh? It seems you already have a plan." Captain Rhonina raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled. "Oh, your fiancée is such a happy woman... Otherwise, how about taking this opportunity to formally propose to her?"

"Ah? This..." Lor was speechless for a moment.

"Hurry up," the captain said earnestly. "You know, if I do successfully advance to Rank Four, I'll likely be transferred out of Gordon City in a few months... It would be a huge shame for me if I couldn't personally officiate your wedding."

Hiss, he actually started playing the emotional card!

Why are all my colleagues so concerned about what's going on between Isabella and me?

Lor couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.

"As for Isabella and I, it's only a matter of time... But Captain, isn't it time for you to consider your personal issues?" Lor decided to change the subject. "Remember Senior Joyce said last time that he wanted to introduce you to a blind date..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw Captain Roninna's expression turn ugly:

"Joyce is just making jokes all the time... He knows perfectly well that I won't go on a blind date."

"Oh?" Lor sensed something was going on. "Captain, from what you said... could it be that you already have a crush on someone?"

"I...it's nothing, don't make random guesses!"

Captain Rhonina nervously smoothed her neatly-twisted blonde hair and began to change the subject: "Well... we'll meet at the church entrance at 8 a.m. tomorrow morning and set off for Palmer City together. Don't be late!"

...There is a problem.

Lor thought as he watched the captain fleeing.

What is going on between her and Senior Joyce?

Is there really a story behind this?

……

Time returns to the present.

Thanks to Captain Roninna's extraordinary props and suggestions, tonight's date did achieve good results.

But the effect seems a bit too good.

At the top of the bell tower, Isabella hugged Lor's shoulders and neck tightly, kissing him passionately again and again, as if she would never be satisfied... Of course, Lor was also a little confused.

The two were originally standing, but it didn't start until Isabella, who was sweating profusely, was already panting and pressing Lor under her.

She ripped open the top button of Lor's shirt, and her moist and soft lips gradually moved down, passing over his jaw, Adam's apple, and chest, and then slowly moved up again...

When it moved to the neck, in addition to the soft lips, Lor also felt a pair of hard and sharp objects.

"Sorry, Lor... I couldn't help it!"

Before he could finish his words, his teeth had already dug into the skin of Lor's neck and he began to sip in big gulps.

When the vampires' sexual desire is high, their appetite will also be greatly stimulated... Lor, who had already anticipated this outcome and was lying on his back on the ground, gently raised his arms and put his arms around Isabella's neck and back.

Her body always feels a little cold to the touch.

But at this moment, Lor felt a warm feeling in his heart.

...In front of me is a bright and quiet starry sky.

As a time traveler, Lor would unconsciously try to find the familiar constellations such as the Big Dipper, Orion, and the Summer Triangle every time he looked up at the night sky... Then, when he couldn't find them, he would feel an uncontrollable sense of uneasiness and loss in his heart.

But not tonight.

Maybe it’s because I have the young lady by my side.

Even the starry sky of this other world no longer feels strange to me.

Thinking of this, Lor suddenly said:

"Isabella, I love you."

"Eh?"

Isabella's blood-sucking action paused slightly, and she temporarily pulled her fangs out of Lor's neck.

Their eyes met for a long while. After confirming the tenderness and affection in Luo Er's eyes, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. She put her lips close to Luo Er's ear and replied shyly:

"Humph, isn't this as it should be? You idiot, you're finally willing to admit it."

My heart was beating wildly.

Although the previous illusion had disappeared, in Isabella's mind at this moment, there were still countless fireworks exploding and countless flowers blooming.

This is probably the happiest moment of my life.

She thought so sweetly.

But at the same time, a sense of unease rose in his heart... Somehow, the figure of the melancholy, beautiful, and terrifying "True Ancestor Lilith" who had appeared in his dream suddenly appeared before his eyes.

As a "monster", can I really be so happy?

Since I haven't turned back into a human yet, can I respond to Lor's feelings and say to him, "I like you too"?

32. Every minute belongs to me

When I got home, it was already dawn.

"The departure time agreed with the captain is eight o'clock." Luo Er glanced at the slightly pale sky in the east and estimated that it should be around four in the morning. "Well... I can catch up on some sleep in the carriage on the way, so I might as well not sleep."

"Lor, let me take another look at your injuries."

Isabella was still somewhat uneasy.

A day passed, and the mark left by the "Shadow Spirit" had expanded a lot... It was originally the size of a palm, but now it has spread from the ankle to near the knee.

"Can your diocesan bishop really cure you?" the eldest daughter asked worriedly, "If not, I'd better go with you."

"Don't worry. Bishop Helm has handled similar situations before," Lor consoled him. "Besides, this time I'm traveling with Captain Rhonina, and I'm tasked with transporting the high-level transcendental relic, 'Shadow Gap Moment,' to the diocesan headquarters... Unlike last time, it won't be convenient to bring my family along."

Family members...

Isabella kept chewing on this word in her heart, and her ears felt a little hot.

Come to think of it, we were just pretending to be an "engaged couple" before, but now Lor has confessed his love to me, so... in his mind, have we turned our fake play into reality?

"Hmph, there's nothing I can do. Since you've said so, I'll stay and take charge!" Isabella feigned composure, her hands on her hips. "We can't leave Meimei home alone. And Roland, even though he seems pretty well behaved lately, if we all leave, he might develop some bad intentions again... We have to be careful!"

"Then I'll trouble you, Miss."

Lor smiled and took out his wallet, handing Isabella a few gold coins and bank checks.

"I'm leaving this time, and I'm not sure when I'll be back, so please save your living expenses...

"If I'm not back by Monday, you should go directly to the church to find Senior Joyce and collect my salary and bonus for this week. Yesterday's incident was not a small matter. Our entire team deserves credit for it, and I should get a share of the bonus as well.

"If it's still not enough, use these checks to withdraw money. Just fill in the specific amount according to your needs... We have an emergency reserve of about a thousand gold coins in the bank. It's deposited under a fake name. When you go to withdraw the money, remember to disguise yourself."

Lor arranged everything clearly.

"Okay, I understand." Isabella took the gold coins and check and put them away.

"Oh, right... Also, Meimei is in the growth stage, so she needs to pay attention to her nutritional balance. She should eat more meat and vegetables. She can't just eat dessert for every meal like you..."

"Stop talking so much. Are you a nanny?" Isabella curled her lips.

However, when it comes to nutritional balance... I really don't know much about how to arrange a diet for children...

Hmm, Mrs. Marty's Home Economics Classroom should also teach something about this... I really should sign up and take a class...

She thought silently.

The attractive advertisements in the newspapers came to mind one by one, such as "Make your home a warm harbor", "Become the spiritual support of your loved one" and "The fun of the night".

Come to think of it, this is my first time sucking blood while holding Lor outdoors...

It's quite exciting...

Is this what they call "interest"?

"Hmm? Miss, what are you thinking about? Why are you blushing again?" Lor said with a smile.

"It's all because of you, idiot." Isabella scolded, but this time she didn't act tsundere. "Eight o'clock, right? There's still more than three hours left."

As she spoke, she wrapped her fair and slender arms around Lor's neck again.

More than three hours.

About two hundred minutes.

"Every minute is mine until you leave."

……

at the same time.

On the seashore outside Gordon City, near a fishing village called "Old Net".

Two people, a man and a woman, dressed as travelers, stood on top of the cliff, looking down at the surrounding terrain.

Both of them look very young.

The man had feminine and handsome features, brown curly hair, light green eyes, and a smile that seemed to be about four or five years old... He looked to be in his twenties, but inexplicably had a calm temperament that seemed to be weathered and indifferent to everything.

As for the other, she was a woman who looked quite capable and dashing. She was a beauty in appearance, but her slightly furrowed brow and drooping eyes gave off a cold, "keep away from strangers" aura.

The vampire prince Emmett, and his follower, the fourth-level transcendent Lianna.

Come to pay tribute to the dead.

"Is this where Lucinda was buried... Well, the scenery is pretty good." Emmett nodded. "Backed by mountains and facing the sea, there's sunshine and a beach... If I were to die, I'd hope to die in a place like this."

"Don't talk nonsense, Your Highness." Lianna frowned. "If you were forgotten, I, as your dependent, wouldn't be able to survive alone if you died... I'm only twenty years old, I haven't lived enough."

As she spoke, her gaze turned towards the devastated battlefield not far away.

There are potholes and rubble everywhere, as if it had been bombarded by countless meteorites... The battle between high-level transcendents is really amazing. It is hard to imagine that these destructions were actually man-made.

No wonder people call high-level beings "demigods".

"'Larian the Guardian' lives up to his reputation... Lucinda really has no chance of winning against a character like him," Emmett said calmly, rubbing his chin gently. "Honestly, even I might not be able to defeat him... Of course, I won't go to such trouble and bring bad luck upon the Church of Holy Light."

Paying tribute is just paying tribute.

Emmett had no intention of seeking revenge for Lucinda.

Pop, pop, pop.

He sat on the ground, facing the battlefield, clasping his hands together and clapping them lightly. He closed his eyes, muttered a few words, then stood up and said to his servant, Lianna:

"Okay, the memorial is over. It's daybreak now, let's go for a walk around the city."

"Huh? Is that the end?" Liana was stunned for a moment. "I came all this way here, and it's just over like this?"

"Otherwise, do you think I would cry and sigh?" Emmett shrugged and smiled, "The longer we vampires live, the more indifferent our inner feelings become... Besides, although Lucinda and I are 'brother and sister' in name, our relationship is not that good."

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked in the direction of Gordon City.

"Hmm, how long ago was it when I last came to Gordon City? Fifty years ago, or sixty years ago? I remember there was a delicious bakery in that city, but I wonder if it's still there..."

"After a short rest, will we start our return journey?" asked Lianna.

"Don't worry, let's just spend a few days relaxing in Gordon City." Emmett replied nonchalantly, "Who knows, we might meet some interesting people or encounter some interesting things."

33. Bon Voyage

7:45 am, Gordon City Church.

"It seems like last night's date went well."

Seeing Lor with dark circles under his eyes and looking visibly listless, Captain Rhonina smiled knowingly, "It seems the rumors are true. Your fiancée... well, nothing."

"?" Lor was confused.

For Captain Ronina, this topic was really difficult to talk about.

After all, the person involved is standing right in front of you.

According to gossip circulating within the church, Lor's fiancée became extremely demanding and aggressive at night, to the point that Lor once wanted to add an extra bed at home and sleep in a separate bed from his fiancée!
