Chapter 107 Something's Wrong

When the dagger pierced the princess's skull, Ye Wen sensed something was wrong.

The feel is off.

Stabbing someone in the head doesn't feel like this.

Ye Wen felt as if he had not plunged a knife into a human's forehead, but into a Fiji cup.

This feels so weird.

Although he didn't know what this meant, Ye Wen acted decisively, drew his dagger and retreated sharply, warily looking at the princess's corpse still lying on the ground.

One second, two seconds, three seconds —

Nine seconds passed before the princess slowly stood up, lifted her skirt, and looked utterly bored.

"Oh dear, I'm so weak, pitiful, and helpless, Lord Ye Wen, aren't you going to come and comfort me?"

"I had a tiny bit of hope, but Lord Ye Wen is really nothing but a nobody."

The princess raised her hand, her slender fingers touching the wound between her eyebrows. No brain matter or blood flowed from the gap, but only a black void.

Just like Abigail's keyhole.

Seemingly sensing Ye Wen's probing gaze, the princess openly showed Ye Wen the black hole on her forehead until the surrounding flesh writhed and buried the black hole, restoring it to its original state.

"Is Lord Ye Wen very curious?"

The princess, lifting her skirt again, spoke with unwavering resolve: "These are the old proofs, the evidence of our existence."

"It's a symbol that only high-ranking officers of the Moon in the Sky possess."

After saying that, she picked up the umbrella that she had thrown aside, turned the handle, and slowly took off from the spot, as if she was about to leave.

Ye Wen couldn't help but ask, "How many beings like you are there in total?"

"Hmm, being asked this kind of question by Lord Ye Wen definitely feels different."

"Let's call it nine for now: [Princess] [Tyrant] [Hero] [Sage] [Witch] [Knight] [Professor]"

[Gardener] [Ordinary Person]

"In the future, Lord Ye Wen will probably meet them one by one, so please be careful."

The princess smiled and said, "Not everyone is like me, still giving Lord Ye Wen a positive evaluation. Some of us probably hate you to the core."

Ye Wen suddenly had a bad feeling.

What do you mean by saying that some of you hate me to the core?

Is it rare for the moon in the sky to hate itself?

So most of you call me Lord Ye Wen, right?

As a villainous organization, you seem to be engaging in some ambiguous relationships.

Ye Wen fell silent.

He really wanted to know what he had done during those two lost years.

They won't save the world one year and destroy it the next, will they?

Seeing that Ye Wen didn't speak, the princess pursed her lips and flew higher and higher, almost reaching the ceiling.

"Although I may have been a bit too talkative, Lord Ye Wen, your role with Goodzowin is over."

"Your presence has brought about change in him, and he is so immersed in this change that he has completely removed your presence from his plans."

"You should understand what I mean, right?"

Ye Wen: "So why are you telling me all this?"

"And what is the purpose of your Sky Moon?"

"What is my relationship with Li Li and you all?"

Ye Wen wanted to get to the bottom of things once and for all.

The princess shook her head.

"We're not some lowly organization that answers every question. It's a secret, a secret! How could we possibly tell Lord Ye Wen something so important?"

"If you want to know, then go find it. Search desperately, and we, the Moon in the Sky, will continue to interfere in your life as always."

"Please continue our fight to the death, Lord Ye Wen."

A hole appeared in the ceiling, and the princess's body slowly floated up until it disappeared from Ye Wen's sight.

Ye Wen did not try to stop the princess from leaving, because he knew he couldn't stop her.

Moreover, he has more important things to do.

"Since I'm no longer in Goodzowin's script, then whatever I do next is [irrelevant], right?"

Ye Wen revealed a charming yet wicked smile: "Then I won't be polite."

"You're not the only one who wants to change, Goodzowin."

After saying that, Ye Wen hummed a little tune and randomly chose a path that meandered downhill.

In short.

He'll find some demon blood first.

Nangong Meiyue herself couldn't understand why she wanted to save that seriously injured human.

Perhaps it was because he found it funny to see her breathing on him even though she was seriously injured and lying in a pool of blood; or perhaps he was just bored and decided to find something to do.

So, she saved the girl.

Under the blood-red moon, the forest was shrouded in mist, and the sound of burning branches crackled. Nangong Chiyue sat casually by the fire, leaning against a few snakefish she had just caught from the swamp.

The aroma of the oil spreads as the grilling continues, as tempting as gold to a hungry person.

"Ugh————"

-

The girl with pigtails leaned against a tree, her whole body wrapped in bandages like a mummy, with a big bow tied in front of her chest, which looked quite comical.

"Gu, just kill me."

Even after being healed, she still breathed on the True Ancestor before her: "I will not submit to the devils of hell! No matter how you ravage my body or destroy my soul, I will not be afraid!"

"I am the glorious Witcher!"

She said that.

Nangong Chiyue glanced at the girl, raised her hand as if to make a gun gesture, and slightly parted her lips: "Bang!"

"Eek!" The girl was startled and let out a squeak like a rabbit. She curled up and only came to her senses a few seconds later, opening her eyes in confusion.

"I'm fine?"

"Pfft." Nangong Chiyue was amused by her own antics, and she watched with interest as the girl's embarrassed face appeared.

'

"Didn't you say you weren't afraid? What are you doing?"

"I, I—" She blushed and was speechless for a moment, before stubbornly saying after a few seconds, "I was just suddenly startled by you, it doesn't count."

"In short, I have received professional training at the Covenant Church, and no matter how you torture me, I will not yield!"

Nangong Chiyue yawned.

Why would I torture you?

"I went through all that trouble (which wasn't actually that much) to save you, just so I could torture you half to death after you recovered?"

Nangong Chiyue laughed and said, "Do I look like one of those nonsensical mentally ill people?"

"Eh?"

The girl blinked in confusion: "But you are the true progenitor of Hell, and I am a demon hunter. We are opposing forces."

""

If enemies don't fight to the death, why should they be loving and caring towards each other?

"Oh.

Nangong Chiyue revealed a calm smile: "Overall, we are indeed an undeniable enemy."

"But as individuals, we shouldn't have any irreconcilable blood feuds, right? I'm all alone, no family or friends have been killed by the Witchers, I've never killed any humans, and I have no grudge against you."

Nangong Chiyue tilted her head: "So, what's wrong with me simply wanting to do a good deed and save someone? Does the Holy Covenant Church even have to deny me this moment of compassion?"

"Uh oh—" The girl's mind went blank for a moment, then she grinned from ear to ear: "What? So you're a good person—no, a good ghost."

"Then there's no problem!"

After saying that, she crawled over to Nangong Chiyue's side like a caterpillar, leaving Nangong Chiyue stunned.

?! Maggots!?

The girl said somewhat shyly, "Um, I've been craving this grilled fish for a long time, but I didn't dare to eat it before because I was afraid you might have poisoned it."

"Can you feed me now?"

She looked at Nangong Chiyue with anticipation.

Nangong Chiyue's lips twitched slightly.

From yawning to acting cute, isn't this guy's attitude change a little too fast?

Even so, Nangong Chiyue still pulled out a piece of grilled fish, let it cool, tore it into small pieces, and fed it to her little by little.

"By the way, I haven't asked yet, what's your name?"

Nangong Chiyue asked casually.

"Me? My name is Corday, Charlotte Corday!"

"And you, kind True Ancestor, what's your name?"

"Nangong Chiyue".

"Hey, Nangong Chiyue? What a strange name, that must mean he can eat a lot."

Nangong Chiyue: "————"

Although it's unclear what Corday was thinking, her eyes revealed that she was contemplating something impolite.

So Nangong Chiyue simply took out a paper fan and tapped Corday on the head.

"It's the '魑' in '魑魅魍魉' (chī mèi wǎng liáng).

"Oh, this 'chi'? I thought it was something to eat." Corday chuckled, swallowing the grilled fish that Nangong Chiyue had fed her. "Then I'll call you Sister Nangong."

"Sister Nangong, what do your True Ancestors usually eat? What do they like to cook? Do True Ancestors communicate with each other? What does it mean to not have parents? Did you spring out of a rock? —"

After confirming that the other party was not a bad person, Corday switched into her friendly mode and chattered incessantly in Nangong Chiyue's ear.

Nangong Chiyue only found her noisy, like a grasshopper jumping around, but...

She doesn't dislike it.

The noisy dinner ended quickly.

Nangong Chiyue grilled four fish. She ate half a fish herself, while Corday ate three and a half fish and said she was still not full.

Nangong Chiyue suggested that if all else fails, she should just lie down and sleep; once she falls asleep, she won't be hungry anymore.

Then Corday really did go to sleep.

However, because she had just woken up and had just eaten, Corday didn't fall asleep so easily. She leaned on Nangong Chiyue's shoulder and said solemnly, "I almost forgot to thank you, Sister Nangong. Without you, I would probably be dead by now."

"I will repay you."

Corday looked intently at Nangong Chiyue's face: "Just tell me what you want, as long as it's not something evil, I'll fight to the death to get it for you."

Nangong Chiyue shook her head: "If I were after something in return, I wouldn't have saved you."

Corday asked, puzzled, "Uh, what do you mean?"

Nangong Chiyue sighed.

You're saying your skills are so bad they're not even good enough for me, kid.

She silently said this to herself, then closed her eyes and simply said, "Don't make a sound, go to sleep."

"oh----"

Under the crimson moon, two figures nestled together by the fire, fast asleep. After some time, Nangong Chiyue calmly opened her eyes, revealing pupils that were no different from the blood moon.

She stared expressionlessly at Corday's exposed neck as she slept, her veins throbbing with hot blood.

Boom, boom, boom.

The heart rate increases.

Nangong Chiyue revealed a self-deprecating smile.

Sure enough, no matter how much they refused to admit it.

In the end, I am just a dirty vampire.

An unprecedented thirst for blood plunged Nangong Chiyue into panic. She felt an unknown self awakening within her soul, gradually replacing her until she became a complete monster.

Kodai's figure became increasingly delicious in Nangong Chiyue's eyes.

Sister, you smell so good!

If she continued like this, she didn't know what she would do.

So, Nangong Chiyue got up, gently placed the sleeping Corday on the ground, surrounded her with her own blood for protection, and left a note saying she would never see her again.

Although it was a life-saving favor, it was just a chance encounter.

She'll probably forget me in a few days, just like I've forgotten her.

So be it.

This is how they were meant to be.

The idea that it can go any further is nothing more than an illusion caused by overeating grilled fish and getting poisoned.

Nangong Chiyue left decisively.

And starting today.

Behind the thirteenth progenitor of the vampire clan, a witcher appeared who was always chasing after her shadow.

Nangong Chiyue opened her eyes.

To dream about something that's long been forgotten, I've really fallen from grace.

After making a self-deprecating remark, Nangong Meiyue found herself being carried around the experimental field by someone, her twin ponytails fluttering in the wind, revealing their owner's identity.

As if possessed, Nangong Chiyue reached out and grabbed the twin ponytails.

Just like the reins for controlling a horse.

"what!"

Corday gasped, stopped, and turned to look at Nangong Chiyue with a resentful expression: "What are you doing?"
