Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

"Go away first, leave me alone for a while."

The blonde girl frowned slightly in pain and waved her hand to shoo away the person who came.

"Are you injured? Let me see, maybe I can help."

Samael showed the powerful vampire the medicine and first-aid kit he carried with him, and then stepped forward to clean her still-healing wounds.

"Come any closer and I'll eat you up..."

Arcueid pursed her lips and gave a serious warning.

"Oh, what would you like to eat?"

Samael smiled, squatted down, and teased him playfully.

"Of course, with your mouth!"

Arcueid looked completely at ease and tried his best to put on a fierce expression, hoping to scare away the strange creature in front of him.

"That's really lucky..."

Samael looked up at those soft, cherry-like lips, his gaze slightly unfocused, and muttered something under his breath.

"Huh? Aren't you afraid of that?"

Arcueid was quite surprised and found it difficult to understand this fearless human.

Tsk tsk, the dignified successor of the moon actually seems a bit airheaded.

Forget it, stop teasing them.

Samael shook his head, refraining from further teasing. He helped the very honest Arcueid to sit down next to a rock, while he himself used tweezers to carefully remove the pebbles embedded in the flesh of the wounded man. Then, he took out a cotton cloth, soaked it in alcohol, and cleaned the dust and blood from the wound. Finally, he skillfully applied medicine and bandaged the wound.

Arcueid, sitting on the bluestone, was a far cry from his fierce and violent demeanor during battle. Instead, he obediently followed the doctor's orders like a well-behaved child.

Even though the treatment of these injuries had little effect on her.

Strange person...

The blonde girl tilted her head, looking at the human patiently bandaging her wounds with a mixture of confusion, bewilderment, and curiosity.

Mmm, it smells delicious...

Arcueid subconsciously sniffed, her ruby-like eyes fixed on the throbbing veins on the man's body.

She was a little hungry.

"I say, Miss Arcueid, aren't you standing a little too close?"

As he felt the burning breath on his skin, Samael looked at the lips and teeth that had unknowingly almost touched him and were only inches away from his carotid artery, and gave a helpless reminder.

The girl suddenly realized something, her bloodshot eyes regained their clarity, and a blush spread across her exquisite face.

"Get down!"

However, before Arcueid could explain, his expression froze, he grabbed Samael beside him, and fell forward.

laugh!laugh!

At the same time, two invisible streaks of light slashed diagonally from Arcueid's head, splitting several meters long into the sand and gravel in front of him.

"This time, your reaction was much slower..."

The languid whisper echoed in Arcueid's ears, instantly causing the powerful vampire to stiffen, as if facing a formidable enemy.

At this moment, on a lonely tree branch not far away, a little girl with black hair and red eyes, dressed in gothic Lolita style, was fiddling with her long, jet-black hair while looking down at the blonde girl below.

Arcueid paused for a moment, then slowly spoke.

"Altruchi, I don't want to fight you today..."

Chapter Thirty-Seven: What to Do When It's Too Popular? (3/3)

"so rude!"

The gothic lolita sitting on a tree branch wrinkled her delicate nose slightly, glanced at Arcueid, who was obviously much larger below, blinked her left blood-red pupil, and a playful expression appeared on her exquisite face.

"According to human custom, shouldn't you look at me with adoration, kneel down so I can pat your head, and respectfully call me 'Big Sister' in a low voice?"

"..."

Arcueid's face stiffened, and his lips twitched slightly. He then managed to calm himself down, but instead of answering, he grabbed the doctor next to him and turned to walk down the mountain.

This woman, as always, still enjoyed teasing her.

"laugh!"

However, the moment Arcueid started moving, the sound of air being torn apart rang out again. The blonde girl's muscles tensed, and she subconsciously pulled Samael up, causing her to stagger back several meters.

In an instant, several crescent-shaped blades of light formed from ether narrowly missed Arcueid.

A few strands of golden hair and a few pieces of torn cloth drifted down leisurely.

"Do you think you can leave today? My most, most, most foolish sister."

Eltrauge rested her chin on her hand, tilted her head, and asked with a smile.

Arcueid paused for a moment, then turned to look at her older sister, her voice low and somber.

"Are you determined to kill me before you're satisfied?"

"Otherwise what? Who told you to almost wipe out all the Dead Apostles and True Ancestors in the entire Thousand-Year City, making it impossible for me to go home, and I almost died at your hands back then."

Eltrauge waved her hand, a hint of sadness on her small face, looking like a victim who had no choice in the matter.

"I was..."

Arcueid bit her cherry lips lightly with her pearly teeth, unable to resist speaking up in defense.

"No need to explain, I know you've gone berserk, haven't you?"

The Gothic Lolita girl, however, didn't take it seriously and directly interrupted her sister's self-defense, nonchalantly asking in return...

"But what's done is done. I'm just here for revenge. What do your reasons have to do with me?"

Such blunt words left Arcueid speechless, and he fell silent once again.

"You can't kill me..."

Arcueid gazed wistfully at the petite figure on the tree branch and murmured softly.

"Oh my, are you that confident? Have you forgotten who your long hair lost to?"

The Gothic Lolita smiled and asked in return, a few strands of long, black hair twirling between her fingers, her blinking bloodshot eyes looking meaningfully at the blonde girl with a bob haircut in front of her.

Arcueid raised her hand to touch the messy stubble at the back of her head, her face stiffening as painful memories flooded back.

As a successor created by the same "Ancestor," Altruchi, who was born earlier than her, was actually a defective product.

But even the most perfect individual needs time to grow.

Therefore, when she was not strong enough in her early years, she was often bullied by this nominal older sister who took advantage of her being born earlier.

Her long hair was taken away during that time due to the defeat in battle, and she was also cursed so that it could not grow back.

Seeing that she had successfully broken her sister's defenses, Altrouge happily ended the talk-talking session, jumped down from the tree branch, clapped her white little hands, and walked over with a grin.

"So, are you ready? It's time for the sisters to bond again."

"It will be very dangerous here later. You go first. This is between her and me."

A faint but dangerous aura spread out, and Arcueid's pupils contracted slightly. Realizing that this battle was inevitable, she raised her hand to block the healer beside her and whispered something.

"In addition, this necklace seals away a small portion of my power, which can help the child maintain his mind."

Immediately, the blonde girl thought of the little guy she had just met, raised her hand and took off a necklace of blood-red gemstones from her neck, handed it to Samael, and solemnly added a word of advice.

"Please take care of her for me. If I survive, I will come to you."

Clearly, she had already regarded the man beside her as someone she could entrust her life to.

Seriously, we've barely exchanged ten words since then, and you already believe me that much? No wonder you were fooled by that scumbag Roya.

Samael was somewhat amused and exasperated by the high expectations placed upon him, and secretly complained to himself.

But in order not to taint this pure whiteness, he obediently accepted the necklace and nodded in agreement.

He will not get involved in the fight between the sisters for the time being.

Samael glanced furtively at the two sisters, who were already on the verge of exchanging blows, and a slight smile played on his lips.

After all, it's easier to clean up the mess once they've both suffered heavy losses, isn't it?

However, just as the cunning snake turned around and prepared to lurk in a corner to enjoy a unique sisterly squabble, Altruchi, who was also sizing up her sister and the male human next to her, rolled her eyes, put one hand on her hip, and gave an imperious order.

"Wait, I've changed my mind. You stay too!"

"This is between us. Why are you dragging unrelated bystanders into this?"

Arcueid stepped forward, glaring angrily.

"So nervous? It seems you care a lot. Since she's your newly acquired family member, she doesn't count as just anyone."

"No! He has nothing to do with this!"

"Hmm, I've decided, it'll be him!"

Ignoring her sister's protests, Altrouge suddenly had a brilliant idea. Her eyes lit up, and she slammed her clenched right fist into her left palm.

"You destroyed my ancient city and almost killed me. If you don't want to fight, you have to give him to me as compensation!"

"No! He's innocent! I absolutely disagree!"

Arcueid angrily refused her sister's unreasonable request.

"Your beloved long hair has been lost to me, what else do you have to pay off your debt? Do you even have the right to refuse now? Hmph, I'll make you taste what it's like to have something you value taken away again!"

However, the more fiercely Arcueid resisted, the more excited Arcruci became, and without saying a word, she grabbed Samael's other hand.

After all, it's only fun to bully someone like that.

Samael, caught in the middle and being pulled along, felt his hands groaning under the strain, as if they were about to be pulled off his shoulders. He was both amused and exasperated.

Hey you two, this is a beautiful misunderstanding. Can you please fight properly and stop bothering the audience?

"release!"

Seeing the victim's grimacing face and hearing the trembling of her bones under the influence of her monstrous strength, Arcueid snapped out of her daze and, in a moment of desperation, punched Altrouge in the shoulder, temporarily forcing her troublesome older sister back.

"My foolish sister, do you really think you can beat me right now?"

Eltrauge was knocked back several steps, but instead of getting angry, she smiled, her bright eyes sparkling, and asked in return.

In an instant, a ghostly light flickered in those blood-red eyes, and the surrounding air became thick and oppressive, like flowing blood plasma. The mocking whispers carried a hint of gloom.

"Or, we could kill you and take your things, it would be the same thing!"

"run!"

Arcueid's expression hardened, as if facing a formidable enemy, but before Arcueid could react, a single word burst from her half-open lips.

At the same time, Jin Hong's blood-red shadow grabbed an innocent person next to him and rushed towards the distance of the island.

This unexpected move left Eltrauge stunned for a moment before she came to her senses, chuckling to herself, her amused expression only deepening.

Playing hide-and-seek? Interesting...

The petite Gothic Lolita girl gently lifted the hem of her skirt and slowly followed the aura.

Shortly after the two sides left, wisps of crimson blood vapor rose from the mud, mingled with the air and the night, and drifted quietly across the entire island on the wind.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Princess, You Must Take Responsibility for Me! (6.4k views)

Bang bang bang!

On Eminmego Island, in a remote nearshore area, a series of muffled explosions resounded in the darkness, creating visible ripples in the air. Two apex predators, relying on their unparalleled physical strength, were engaged in fierce combat along the way.

The two figures at the center of the confrontation sometimes used delicate joint locks, sometimes engaged in brutal fist and claw clashes, and sometimes chased each other in speed.

Wherever the shockwaves swept through, vegetation turned to dust and scattered rocks, and the earth cracked open with ravines, as if two intersecting hurricanes had swept by.

However, this terrifying destructive power was only limited to a range of several dozen meters between the two people. From a slightly farther distance, one could only see flickering light patterns, like will-o'-the-wisps in the wilderness, faintly flashing in the darkness.

Furthermore, the two maintained a tacit understanding and did not reveal their full power.
