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

Isabella and I don't have much money left now. With the young lady's lavish spending habits, it's hard to say how much of the 1,000 gold coins will be left when I return...

In short, we have to find a way to increase the cash on hand.

But the problem is that the timing of this "tea party" is too unfortunate.

Logically speaking, the captain and I should have stayed in the guest rooms arranged by the diocesan headquarters during our trip to Palmer City... After all, Isabella wasn't traveling with me this time, so it would have seemed unnatural for me to say I wanted to stay in a hotel by myself...

But anyway, I probably can't risk attending the tea party in the church at headquarters. I'll have to sneak out and find a place that's both secluded and safe enough...

Also, be careful of Miles' "introducer".

That guy is a high-ranking member of "The Ferryman" and his strength is at least at level five. He should not be underestimated!

Although, the other party probably doesn't know that Miles is dead, and has not contacted me directly so far...but this guy must have a lot of hostility towards me, so I have to be on guard.

hiss……

It seems that the "tea party" tomorrow night will not be easy.

35. Take a peek first

noon.

In Gordon City, inside a high-end restaurant.

"Hmm, the taste is different from what I remember. It seems they have changed the chef."

Emmett put down his knife and fork, shook his head regretfully, then picked up the wine glass and took a sip. "However, the taste of this red wine is exactly the same as I remember...it can be said that the trip was worthwhile."

"I think it tastes really good," said Lianna, the servant sitting across from me. "Aren't you being too picky?"

“It’s not about the taste, it’s about the memories.”

Emmett leaned back slightly and shook his glass:

"Perhaps, I just want to relive the feelings of those days and reminisce about the old times... Back then, I was accompanied by another dependent... Hmm? Liana, you look like you're jealous, aren't you? Don't worry, in terms of beauty, you're still slightly more beautiful."

"Please don't be so self-indulgent." Lianna said expressionlessly.

"You still can't take a joke." Emmett shrugged in boredom.

However, at this moment, his expression suddenly changed!

A hint of shock flashed across his light green eyes, then turned into confusion.

"It's the scent of the same kind..." Emmett frowned slightly.

"You mean, there are vampires hiding in this city?" Lianna lowered her voice and suddenly became alert.

Vampires can sense whether there are other vampires nearby, and the stronger the vampire, the wider the detection range... Emmett, an eighth-level strongman, is a leader even among the "first generation of vampires". His senses are extremely sharp and he can even sense his own kind a kilometer away!

"Not simple." Emmett carefully examined it for a while, his expression becoming more and more surprised. "Judging from the feeling, the other party should be at the seventh level... Most likely one of my brothers and sisters."

Where Lucinda fell, is there another first-generation vampire hidden?

This is too coincidental, right?

It's impossible that he came here just to pay tribute to Lucinda like us, right?

"First-generation vampires..." Liana swallowed, her expression growing serious. "If that's the case, then let's flee quickly, Your Highness. They'll surely covet the 'True Ancestor Blood' within you."

Emmett smiled bitterly.

"Hey, Lianna, I'm also an eighth-level expert after all. Theoretically, I'm stronger than the other party, right?"

"You know it yourself, it's only 'theoretically'," Lianna complained bluntly. "Don't you think about how long it's been since you last fought one of your own kind? Your abilities have long been wasted, haven't they?"

"Well..." Emmett was obviously a little guilty, "Just give me a little time to warm up..."

"The other party is at the seventh level of strength, also a demigod-level upper vampire. How could they give you any time to warm up?" Liana looked a little anxious. "In my opinion, it's better not to take risks lightly!"

"Don't be nervous, Lianna," Emmett soothed. "So far, it seems that they haven't discovered me yet. Their ability to perceive their own kind is obviously inferior to mine... Right now, they are in the open, while we are in the dark."

"You mean, to spy on the other party's actions first?"

"It's so rare to meet a brother or sister. It would be embarrassing to flee without even knowing who they are." Emmett spread his hands and said, "Besides, they may not be hostile to us... maybe we can say hello and catch up."

"Oh, okay." Lianna sighed.

She understood the character of this prince very well. On the surface, he looked calm and indifferent, but he was extremely stubborn about some things. Once he made up his mind, no one could pull him back.

"You wait here, I'll go and take a look at the situation." Lianna stood up.

After all, the other party is also a vampire. If Emmett enters the other party's detection range, he will be detected.

"Well, be careful." Emmett nodded, his expression frivolous like a playboy. "You are my only dependent. If anything happens to you... I will be heartbroken."

Liana got goosebumps all over her body:

"Say one more corny thing like that and you'll lose me now."

……

In the downtown area, in front of a three-story house along the street.

"Mrs. Marty's home economics classroom... well, that should be here."

After confirming the door number, Isabella took a deep breath nervously, then mustered up the courage and rang the doorbell.

After separating from Lor, she originally wanted to catch up on some sleep.

But when she thought of the sweet date yesterday and Lor's words of confession, she felt hot all over, and then she tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep at all!

It’s all Lor’s fault!

At the same time, he felt guilty and self-blamed because he did not respond directly to Lor's confession at that time.

She realized that she would not be able to overcome this hurdle until she completely got rid of her identity as a "vampire" and turned back into an ordinary girl.

Last night, the atmosphere was just right. If it were any other couple, they would have already moved on to the next step after kissing... But I couldn't control myself at all. In the middle of kissing, I threw Lor to the ground and started sucking his blood...

It's not okay to go on like this.

"Well, the key is to improve my strength, becoming strong enough to defeat True Ancestor Lilith and completely eliminate the 'blood race', the source of the extraordinary." Isabella couldn't help but feel distressed. "To do this, I need to obtain more 'True Ancestor Blood'... But Lor also said that a blanket search is too stupid and might even miss the opportunity. He told me to calm down and wait for his news..."

Since Lor said so, we have no choice but to wait.

but……

Preparations in other areas can be made first.

That’s right, Mrs. Marty’s home economics classroom!

Sign up now while Lor is away!

Thinking of this, Isabella immediately jumped out of bed, found the newspaper with the advertisement from yesterday, and headed straight for her destination.

"Hello, ma'am," the receptionist said with a smile. "What should I call you?"

"My name is Isabella." The eldest lady was still a little nervous.

"Okay." The receptionist wrote the name down in the register. "Mrs. or Miss?"

"Well, I'm not married yet..." Isabella blushed.

"I'm sorry, my question may have been a bit abrupt." The receptionist smiled apologetically. "Well, we have different courses tailored to the different needs of married and single women."

"Eh... then, what are the specific differences between the courses?"

"The courses for unmarried women focus more on dressing, makeup techniques, and etiquette training. This is to help students find their ideal husband more smoothly..."

It turned out to be the case.

Isabella nodded and thought, then I won’t be able to use it at all.

After all, I have found my ideal husband.

"So, what about those for married women?"

"I would be more inclined to seek out knowledge and skills that are more practical in daily married life, such as financial planning, home decoration, and childcare..."

"Okay, that's what I want to learn! Especially about how to raise children!" Isabella became more and more interested as she listened. Without hesitation, she pulled out three gold coins from her wallet. "The registration fee is three gold coins, right?"

"what?"

The receptionist looked confused.

She thought, "No, Miss, aren't you single? Are you sure you need to take these courses? Isn't it too early for you to learn about raising children?"

And according to the regulations, you can try a few classes first and then decide whether to formally sign up... But you took out the gold coins before I even said anything?

I have never seen a student pay so happily!

Aren’t you afraid that we are a scam organization?

36. It must be a cover

a few minutes ago.

Following the direction sensed by Emmett, Lianna followed the mysterious seventh-level vampire all the way.

So we arrived in the downtown area.

The other party is a seventh-level extraordinary being, and is very likely one of the "first generation vampires" like my master Emmett... He must not be underestimated!

She thought cautiously.

Fortunately, it is still broad daylight and the other party is currently in the downtown area, so he will probably restrain himself.

In addition, although Gordon is only a small city, it also has branches of the Holy Light Church and the Mystic Association. Once the identity is exposed, it will be a troublesome matter even for a high-level vampire.

"Go straight along this street and turn right at the intersection... The target isn't moving very fast, so you should see her or him soon."

Emmett's guiding voice echoed in his mind.

That’s right, sensory sharing.

The vampires and their followers are connected by a "contract." As long as they are within a certain distance, Emmett, as the master, can sense the location and status of his followers at any time, and they can also share vision, hearing, and touch.

Moreover, Emmett has lived for hundreds or even thousands of years. Although he does not often engage in battles, at least he has more experience in using "sensory sharing" than Isabella and his methods are more flexible.

For example, in order to avoid placing too much burden and interference on his followers, he can actively close some sensory channels, receiving visual and auditory signals from his followers but not actively transmitting them, and only giving some verbal instructions when necessary.

"The target is in front of you on the left, at ten o'clock, and is currently stationary." Emmett reminded.

After hearing this, Lianna held her breath, kept a natural expression, continued to move forward, and quietly looked in the direction indicated by Emmett without making a sound.

...a girl with silver hair and red eyes.

It stopped in front of the door of a three-story house, looking a little nervous.

She was wearing a clean white dress and holding a parasol in her hand... Her clothes were not gorgeous, but her every move revealed a noble and elegant temperament, making it difficult to take your eyes off her.

Besides, she is really beautiful.

Even Lianna, who is also a woman, couldn't help but feel a little hot in her chest.

"Wow, this appearance is really impressive."

At this moment, Emmett, who was a kilometer away, whistled. Through his servant Liana's vision, he could also see this stunningly beautiful girl clearly:

"This is truly unexpected... Silver hair, crimson eyes, and peerless beauty... Although I've never met her before, if I'm not mistaken, this should be the youngest of all the first-generation vampires, 'Isabella the Blessed'."

Isabella the Blessed?

Lianna frowned slightly.

Emmett had told her a lot about the history of the vampires, so she had heard of this name before... It was said that she was originally a noble girl. At the moment of death, she was suddenly spotted by the True Ancestor Lilith, and then received the First Embrace, and was reborn...

But isn’t “Isabella the Blessed” already dead?

Lianna was puzzled.

"Hmm... From what I know, Lucinda once tried to hunt down this 'little sister', but ultimately failed." Emmett said thoughtfully, "At that time, the two of them fell into the encirclement of the Holy Light Church. As a result, Isabella was purified, and although Lucinda managed to escape, she was also seriously injured..."

But now it seems that Isabella is obviously still alive.

"Don't you think this is too coincidental?" Emmett continued, "Lucinda once again fell into the trap of the Holy Light Church and eventually died... It's very similar to the situation back then."

Does this mean that this is the same old trick used by "Blessed Isabella" again?

Lianna quickly understood what Emmett meant.

However, considering that she was only a dozen meters away from "The Blessed Isabella", and that the other party was a high-ranking vampire and must have very sharp hearing, she did not respond to Emmett.
