My vampire princess wants to repay a debt of gratitude.

The students in the auditorium were also moved by the leaders and stood up to applaud.

This scene made Li Qing unable to sit still any longer. She already knew she had lost. She stood up, turned around and left, without even waiting for the final result to be announced.

Ye Zimo's performance was filmed by many people and posted on various social media platforms, causing a new wave of popularity.

Many netizens exclaimed that she is the new generation's Mozart.

The competition for the most beautiful girl at Mingyue High School is intensifying, with onlookers divided into two factions: Ye Zimo's and Li Qing's.

Because Ye Zimo was too aloof, the majority of Li Qing's juniors and classmates still supported her.

But Li Qing had already lost once, and her competitive spirit wouldn't allow her to lose to Ye Zimo a second time.

Li Qing's family was also very well-off. It was common for her to be driven to and from school. After being picked up by the driver and taken back to the villa, she locked herself in her bedroom and didn't come out.

This setback made her somewhat withdrawn.

In the living room, a young woman dressed in a Japanese kimono held a cup of coffee. She looked to be only twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, but was actually forty-two. She was very well-preserved.

She is Li Qing's mother, a Japanese woman who has lived in China for many years. Her real name is Okamoto Mei, and her Chinese name is Li Hui.

She looked almost identical to Li Qing, only more mature and charming.

"What's wrong with Kiyoko?"

Li Hui looked at the driver.

The driver bowed respectfully and said, "Miss Qingzi has been looking downcast since the arts festival; she must have lost the competition."

"Oh? Who could possibly beat my excellent daughter?"

Li Hui raised an eyebrow, a hint of curiosity rising in her heart.

Chapter 36 Mushishi

The driver shook his head. He had been waiting in the parking lot the whole time and had no idea what had happened at the cultural performance; he was just guessing.

"Yamamoto."

Li Hui picked up a monocle from the white jade coffee table and put it on her right eye.

Her vision then returned to normal.

The butler, Yamamoto, was dressed in a black suit and stood ramrod straight, as if he had served in the military before.

"Miss Mei, what do you need me to do?"

Yamamoto asked.

“Go and investigate. If there really is someone more outstanding than my daughter, I’d be very interested in getting to know them.”

Li Hui pushed up her monocle, a strange light flashing in her eyes.

The Okamoto family has been Mushi Masters for generations, and even in her generation, no one has been able to inherit the Ohmu contract. All of her generation members have died because of the Ohmu, so she had no choice but to come to Japan to find someone with the destiny to form a contract with the Ohmu.

Her husband was a person with such a destiny, but unfortunately, he was too old to start learning from scratch, so Okamoto Mei married him and had children.

Li Qing was born with such a fate, and her excellence made Okamoto Mei very gratified.

However, if the family wants to grow stronger, one Li Qing alone is not enough.

If Li Hui wants to revive the Insect Masters, she must find more Insect Contract Bodies, and she will not let go of any outstanding talent.

If she could find a more suitable insect master than her daughter, she could also let Li Qing do what he likes in his limited lifespan.

Although Li Hui didn't have high hopes, she wouldn't let go of any opportunity, no matter how small.

Over the years, she has investigated many outstanding young geniuses, but none of them possess the destiny to form a contract with the King Worm.

"Yes, Miss Mei."

Yamamoto is used to calling Li Hui by his Japanese name, and he is also Japanese.

After he left, Li Hui knocked on Li Qing's door. "Qingzi, may Mom come in?"

Li Qing opened the door to her room, threw herself into her mother's arms, and began to cry.

"Mom, I lost. I'm not reconciled. You said I was the best and most unique person in the world. Why did I lose?"

Having never tasted failure since childhood, Li Qing suffered her first Waterloo. Her heart was not as strong as it appeared; on the contrary, she was quite fragile.

"You are still the most unique one, but there are always mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people."

...

Inside the auditorium of Mingyue High School, the thunderous applause finally subsided, and Ye Zimo had already sat down next to Lin Mo.

"How about it?"

Ye Zimo asked softly.

Lin Mo gave a thumbs up: "Absolutely fantastic."

"Weren't you worried I'd lose?"

Ye Ziming teased him expressionlessly, and Lin Mo gave an awkward smile: "Hehe."

The judges began to discuss the results, and finally announced them.

They unanimously awarded first place to Li Qing, feeling that Ye Zimo's level was no longer suitable for their evaluation, and specially created an honorary award for Ye Zimo to express their respect and affirmation for art.

Ye Zimo had no complaints about this, but like Li Qing, she was absent from the awards ceremony.

After the performance, she basically knew the result and urged Lin Mo to go back and draw comics.

Lin Mo had no choice but to leave early. In fact, he was just a spectator and didn't feel much of a sense of participation.

Fat Tiger and Li Qi had gotten used to Lin Mo's recent elusive behavior; after all, he was in a relationship and couldn't be hanging out with single people all the time.

"I'm so jealous! Ugh, I want to be in a relationship too!"

"Fat Tiger said resentfully."

Li Qi pursed his lips: "Yeah, I want to date too. I think Senior Li Qing definitely likes me. Should I give it a try?"

"I like you? How did you figure that out?"

Fat Tiger asked suspiciously.

"There were so many people just now, and she didn't even look at me, except for me. She even smiled at me. What else could that be but liking me?"

Li Qi looked proud.

Fat Tiger, sweating profusely, asked, "So you don't want Teacher Oda anymore?"

"Teacher Xiaotian, I'm sorry, please don't be infatuated with me, I'm just a legend."

Li Qi tidied his black hair, grinned, revealing a row of white teeth. There seemed to be a bright gleam on his teeth, which made his whole demeanor strange.

Fat Tiger leaned back, feeling that Li Qi's goofy personality was almost overwhelming him.

No, I don't want to become a goofball.

He roared inwardly.

Lin Mo has been taken back to the small dark room studio by Ye Zimo and has started drawing comics.

Ye Zimo, acting as a fan supervisor, lay sprawled on a beanbag chair, holding a glass of "freshly squeezed juice" and a comic book, looking very content.

The red miniskirt couldn't hide her long, fair legs, which were clearly visible to Lin Mo out of the corner of his eye.

Damn it, how can I concentrate on drawing like this!

Vampire's figure is just too unfair!

What would it look like if I wore Kiku's maid outfit?

Lin Mo pictured Ye Zimo in a black and white maid outfit, with cat ears and a fluffy tail, kneeling on the ground, licking her paws: "Master? Do you need me?"

Lin Mo instantly felt his blood rush to his head, and blood started flowing from his nose. He let out a silly chuckle.

Ye Zimo glanced at him coldly and snapped her fingers.

Xiaoju rushed in, took Lin Mo away, dragged him into the bathroom, splashed ice water on his face to wipe away the nosebleed, and then took him back to the studio to continue painting.

Xiaoju's actions were so smooth and fluid, it was as if she had rehearsed them.

Lin Mo patted his face: "Stop thinking about it, just start drawing!"

In this chapter, he will add another female victim character, and his ideal type is a mature woman like Ms. Oda.

I'm sorry, Ms. Oda, but this time I'm going to have to deal with you!

Lin Mo was patiently drawing a new character design when Ye Zimo jumped off the beanbag chair, quietly walked behind him, and noticed that he was sketching a voluptuous female body.

Ye Zimo looked down at her flat chest and was immediately annoyed. She raised her fist: "Are you discriminating against flat-chested women?"

"Oh, I didn't."

Lin Mo had already been punched and sent flying, and blood was flowing from his nose again.

Ugh! It's terrifying to be around vampires!

Lin Mo wanted to cry but had no tears.

Xiaoju rushed in again, helped Lin Mo up, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, he's still alive."

"Ah... I'm sorry."

Ye Zimo stuck out her tongue, looking mischievous and scary.

"...I've always had a question: my comics have very few female fans, so why do you enjoy reading them so much?"

Lin Mo created a comic fan group, which is 99% male, so he often posts erotic pictures in the group.

He felt that Ye Zimo was definitely not inside.

"Oh? Because your comics are very realistic. Every monster is real and completely different from the fictional ones. I can really relate to them."

Ye Zimo gave Lin Mo a thumbs up in praise, but Lin Mo was stunned.

"What? You mean these kinds of monsters actually exist?"

So, everything recorded in that Lich's Directory is true?!

Lin Mo's worldview began to crumble and rebuild.
