Chapter 34 The Cannon Fodder Count in a Vampire Novel
Wen Yubai rested in the system space for a few days, but then he got bored.
"188, let's go to the next world."
Have you rested well?
"Um."
The previous world's sexual orientation was BL (Boys' Love), so it's understandable that it would fall for its host.
Having learned its lesson, 188 deliberately expended energy to filter the world this time.
It needs to find a romance novel with a strong moral compass!
Okay, you're the one!
188 precisely targeted a heterosexual world and placed Wen Yubai into it.
[Teleporting to the quest world.]
[Beep, transmission successful!]
[Current Mission: Play as the cannon fodder Count Damian White, advance the main storyline, and ultimately die at the hands of the protagonist.]
[Avoid straying too far from your character; complete the world line convergence.]
In this world, vampires and humans maintain a delicate coexistence.
A century ago, during a fierce battle, the vampire prince fell into a deep sleep, and a fragile balance was reached between the two sides.
Humans periodically sacrifice a very small number of people to support the vampires; the vampires, in turn, hide outside the human world and are not allowed to hunt or eat ordinary humans at will.
Until this year, the vampire prince showed signs of awakening.
The storyline that Wen Yubai received was still a censored version.
He plays a half-blooded count.
At a banquet, he took a liking to the female protagonist who was to be sacrificed, so he followed her and flirted with her, and even tried to suck her blood.
As a result, his lewd behavior was stopped in time by the second male lead, the Grand Duke, who also gave him a lesson.
He was resentful, yet he couldn't forget the female lead.
While the second male lead was away, she sneaked into his castle to suck the female lead's blood, but was severely injured and thrown out by the second male lead who returned early.
Severely injured and weakened, he encountered Lucius, the male protagonist who was hunting vampires, on the road and mistakenly attacked him, thinking he was an ordinary human.
As a result, he was killed by the male protagonist and died just before dawn.
Key plot points in this episode:
1. At the banquet, he tried to suck the female lead's blood but was taught a lesson by the second male lead;
2. He stole the female lead's blood and was severely punished by the second male lead;
3. She provoked the male protagonist and was killed by him.
[Simple, right? Besides, this time both the male lead and the second male lead are heterosexual, so they definitely won't have any improper thoughts about you like they did in the last world.]
Wen Yubai grasped the key point: "So, the protagonist of the last world was interested in me?"
Well, I guess so.
Stop thinking about it. Focus on protecting the world. You're just cannon fodder this time, so don't ruin the main storyline.
I am transferring the original owner's memories to you.
Fragments of the original owner's memories flooded into his mind.
The father died for the vampire prince.
As the sole heir, despite being a half-human, half-human hybrid, he was exceptionally granted the title of Earl by the Council of Elders.
His mixed-race heritage made him a target of discrimination within aristocratic circles.
Those nobles always looked at him with condescending eyes and mocked him as "just a lowly commoner with noble blood."
His soul completely merged into this body, and fragments of memories flashed through his mind.
Wen Yubai opened his eyes, propped himself up on the headboard, and sat up. His throat felt dry, and he couldn't help but cough twice.
He rubbed his head and got out of bed.
The butler was already waiting outside the door. When he came out, he bowed and handed him a crystal glass.
The glass contained a viscous, dark red liquid.
"Master, you're awake."
Wen Yubai took the wine glass, glanced at it, and frowned, feeling a sense of rejection.
But the sweet scent of blood made my throat even drier.
He deliberately changed the subject, asking, "How long did I sleep?"
The butler replied respectfully, "Five whole years, master."
Seeing that he hadn't drunk it yet, the butler asked softly, "Is Master not satisfied with this blood?"
Wen Yubai looked at the swaying dark red liquid, and a physiological desire made his Adam's apple bob.
This cup of blood was clearly prepared by the butler well in advance.
He took a deep breath and sipped it.
It didn't have the bloody smell I expected, and it was unlike any other drink I'd ever had before.
A strange sweetness instantly washes over your taste buds.
"No, it's delicious."
As he spoke, he tilted his head back and drank the blood in the cup to the last drop.
The initial psychological burden vanished without a trace, and I even had the thought of having another drink.
The butler handed over a handkerchief at the opportune moment, and then said, "We recently received an invitation to a banquet from Duke Klaus. Would you like to attend?"
The second male lead, Cedric Klaus, is a vampire grand duke.
He didn't host an ordinary banquet.
Every year, humans offer a batch of sacrifices to the vampires, and the ceremony for selecting the sacrifices takes place at this banquet.
The fragile balance was built on sacrifice.
The butler asked, "Master?"
Wen Yubai snapped out of his daze, put down his empty cup, and spoke with a hint of hostility in his voice.
"Go? Why wouldn't I go? Do you really think I'm afraid of them?"
The butler remained silent.
The master had been asleep for five years because he failed to snatch the sacrificial offerings at a banquet, and in his anger and embarrassment, he got into a fight with someone.
In the end, he lost the fight and ended up with many injuries.
Please, please don't cause any trouble this time.
The White family had long since fallen into ruin, and only a few old servants remained on the vast estate.
This made things convenient for Wen Yubai, and in the days that followed, he practiced the original owner's expressions repeatedly in front of the mirror.
The face in the mirror was still the same, only the color of the pupils had changed to red, like rubies.
He's not a professional actor, and this character is quite different from his usual persona; he didn't have such a wide range of expressions before.
In order not to ruin his image, he had to repeatedly study himself in front of the mirror.
The original owner's pride, arrogance, greed, and stupidity were masked by his flamboyant swagger, which concealed the sensitivity and inferiority complex brought about by his mixed-race identity.
Soon, the day of the banquet arrived.
As night fell, the Duke of Claus' manor was brightly lit, and a long line of luxury cars stretched out outside.
Luckily, the place is big enough, otherwise there wouldn't be any parking space.
Wen Yubai changed into the formal attire prepared by the butler, which was red and black with the family crest pinned to the collar.
As he entered the banquet hall, the shimmering light from the crystal chandelier made him squint.
He deliberately straightened his back, and as he moved through the crowd, the vampire's excellent hearing allowed him to hear a few deliberately suppressed sneers.
A nobleman approached, holding a wine glass, and said with malice:
"Hey, isn't this Sleeping Beauty who's been lying down for five years? She finally dares to show her face today?"
Someone immediately responded from behind him.
"What's the use of coming here? Do you really think you're qualified to choose your own sacrifices? You might as well just drink the blood that human hospitals give you as charity."
Wen Yubai stopped in his tracks.
In the original owner's memories, these were the nobles who had surrounded him back then.
The leader was Count Vantor's son, who had always looked down on people of mixed race.
Leon Vantor swirled his wine glass, remaining silent, his eyes filled with disdain.
To curry favor, the nobleman beside him continued speaking:
"After all, some bastards who rely on their fathers' legacy to obtain titles should have some self-awareness."
Wen Yubai's face darkened, and he grabbed the nobleman's collar: "What did you say?"
Leon, who was watching the spectacle, raised an eyebrow and said, "Damian, has your human bloodline made your hearing fail you too?"
Laughter erupted around them: "Go ahead and hit him, Earl White! You've been sleeping for five years, haven't you ruined your health too?"
Wen Yubai raised his fist, his brows furrowed with anger.
Lien scoffed.
What an idiot.
If Damian loses his composure first, he can rightfully kick this half-breed out of the banquet.
In his view, such lowly mixed-race people were not worthy of sharing a room with pure-blooded people.
But looking at the man's bright red eyes and brows when he was angry, Lien suddenly felt a little dazed.
Vampires are never short of beauties, but for some reason, he felt a little thirsty and subconsciously took a sip of wine.
Even the people around who were making a fuss gradually fell silent.
Someone whispered a reminder: "The Grand Duke is out, let's not cause trouble."
Wen Yubai didn't dare to bring his fist down.
He knew that if he was kicked out, the rest of the story would be impossible to continue.
He snorted coldly and was about to let go of the nobleman's hand when, unexpectedly, Lien pulled his hand away first.
"Damian, it's been five years, but your temper hasn't changed at all."
Leon's voice carried his usual sarcasm, but his lowered hand couldn't help but caress the skin he had just touched.
Wen Yubai smirked and deliberately bumped into Lien's shoulder as he left.
"You don't need to worry about it."
