My vampire princess wants to repay a debt of gratitude.

...

a few days later.

Inside the Nancheng Mansion villa.

Yamamoto handed over all the information he had collected about Ye Zimo to Li Hui.

Li Hui checked Ye Zimo's tennis videos and piano music videos.

"He is indeed a genius, but is there anything special about him?"

Chapter 37 Excessive Wisdom Leads to Adversity

“Miss Mei, I’ve done my research. The original score of the Piano Concerto No. 2 has been lost, and the version she played was not the improved version. I took this video to a senior classical piano professor, and he believes that Ye Zimo’s version is closer to the original.”

Yamamoto said with a serious expression.

"so what?"

"So I investigated Ye Zimo again. Apart from her recent campus videos, there was no information about her online, including her family background and life story. There was nothing in the school's records either."

Yamamoto frowned.

“Go on.”

Li Hui rested her chin on one hand, watching the stunningly beautiful girl in the video.

"I had someone hack into the school system and check all the surveillance footage. We found out that she once tried to suck the blood of a boy."

Yamamoto showed Li Hui the selected video clips. To a normal person, it would just look like a young couple playing around, with the girl throwing a pounce on the boy.

But Yamamoto was also a Mushishi (a type of insect master), and he understood that the world was full of various alien races, so he keenly observed that the girl was not the boy's girlfriend, but rather someone who wanted to drink his blood.

"Vampires?"

Li Hui suddenly stood up, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes.

She did want to find someone who could form a contract with the King Worm, but vampires were also a target she had been searching for for many years.

“That’s right, Miss Mei, the vampire we’ve been looking for has appeared.”

Yamamoto remained serious and focused.

There is an old saying that goes, "You can search high and low without finding it, but it is right under your nose."

Li Hui's lips curled up; they had been investigating vampires for a long time.

Mushishi and vampires are not inherently opposed, but Li Hui's ancestor once captured a weak vampire. He discovered that vampire blood could extend human lifespan and recorded this fact.

For so many years, Li Hui has been searching for vampires, and that's why.

Li Hui picked up the photos displayed on the coffee table.

The photo shows Li Qing's delicate face.

She gently stroked him: "Qingzi, Mom will definitely save you."

"Miss Kiyoko will get better."

Yamamoto comforted him.

"I have two more years, and I will definitely make Qingzi better."

Li Hui's eyes were filled with determination.

Li Qing didn't go to school today because she wasn't feeling well. She took the day off and happened to overhear her mother's conversation with the housekeeper.

"A vampire? Can they really save me?"

Li Qing, dressed in white pajamas, walked down the spiral staircase.

Li Qing has been in poor health since childhood, especially in recent years. She has seen many doctors, but nothing has helped.

The doctor told Li Qing's mother that her organs were showing signs of failure. Li Qing had overheard the conversation, so she knew that her life was nearing its end.

Perhaps in the next two years.

Therefore, she wanted to do everything to the best of her ability; she wanted to live her short life to the fullest.

She had previously made a bet that she wanted to go on a date with Lin Mo, but it was also true that she didn't want to be in a relationship. She longed to live the life of an ordinary girl, but unfortunately, she didn't have time for romance.

Over the past 18 years, Li Hui has tried many ways to prolong her life, but none of them have worked.

As she got closer to 20, her health deteriorated.

Taking sick leave every few days is the norm for her, and the school teachers don't make things difficult for her.

The teachers even felt that too much intelligence can lead to a breakage, lamenting that such a smart and outstanding girl as Li Qing was born with many illnesses.

Li Qing's face was a little pale. She walked over and sat down next to her mother.

Li Hui hugged her and comforted her, saying, "Yes, this time it will definitely work."

Li Qing coughed twice, and Li Hui nervously handed her a white silk scarf.

He coughed up blood.

"You were secretly practicing again last night?"

Li Hui frowned, her tone full of reproach.

Li Qing nodded: "Mom, I can already feel the power of the King Worm. I think I'll be able to summon it in two more days."

"Everyone says you don't need to push yourself so hard. Mom will find a more suitable Mushishi."

Seeing her daughter working so hard, Li Hui felt both heartache and self-blame.

"No, Mom, I am the most suitable one. I will not let you down. I only have you now."

Li Qing looked haggard and stared blankly at Li Hui, who held her in her arms with a determined look in her eyes.

"Qingzi, Mommy won't let anything happen to you. You are Mommy's only one. No matter what, Mommy will never let anything happen to you."

"Mom, why doesn't Dad come to see me even once?"

Li Qing suddenly asked.

Li Hui frowned: "Don't mention him. He hasn't asked you about your father in all these years."

"But... I saw Li Mao at school. He's clearly inferior to me in every way, so why did Dad choose him?"

Li Qing clenched her fists, tears welling up in her eyes.

Li Hui didn't know how to answer her daughter's question.

"Miss Mei, Miss Kiyoko, I contacted the main family, and they said they can provide us with a kind of insect demon."

The butler, Yamamoto, immediately interrupted the mother and daughter's conversation, bringing Li Hui back to reality.

Li Hui composed herself, fed Li Qing a few insect pills to stabilize her condition, and then asked, "What kind of insect demon?"

"Blood Princess".

The butler explained, "These are tiny insect eggs; vampires who eat them will temporarily lose their ability to move."

...

Ye Zimo fell asleep in the beanbag chair. Lin Mo quietly covered her with a blanket and tiptoed out of the studio.

"My benefactor, are you going back?"

Xiaoju suddenly popped her head out and asked.

"Yes, Ye Ziming is asleep."

Lin Mo put his index finger to his lips, making a shushing gesture.

Xiaoju nodded in understanding.

Lin Mo successfully slipped back to his home. He opened the door and saw the female employee of the cat shelter sitting on the sofa, chatting and laughing with his sister Lin Xuan.

If he remembered correctly, the female shop assistant was actually one of the three goblin brothers.

"You three, ptooey, what are you doing here?"

Lin Mo pointed at the female shop assistant, and Lin Xuan glared at him: "Brother, can't you speak properly? She's here to thank you."

"Yes, yes, I really owe you a lot last time, Lin Mo, otherwise I would have been fired by the boss. As soon as I got my salary, I thought of coming to thank you. I brought you some nice things."

The three goblin brothers, disguised as a female shop assistant, warmly pulled Lin Mo to the sofa and then opened the gift box on the table.

Golden ingots! They almost blinded Lin Mo's titanium alloy eyes.

Lin Xuan froze instantly.

I just found the female shop assistant very interesting, but now I feel like she came from a mental hospital.

These gold ingots often appear together with ghost money during the Ghost Festival (July 15th of the lunar calendar) and are burned for deceased elders in the family.

Lin Mo covered his forehead with one hand, thinking it would be better if they were fired. Was this kind of thing meant to be given away as a gift?

The three goblin brothers looked at Lin Mo expectantly. Yes, they loved this golden stuff, and they discovered it was incredibly cheap! Much cheaper than gold coins!

So they stocked up a lot at home, and this time they gave some to Lin Mo, all because he was their benefactor!

Chapter 38 Senior's Invitation

"...Brother, should I make a call?"

Lin Xuan wiped the sweat from her forehead. What kind of mental patient had escaped and actually knew her own brother?

"no, I'm fine."

Lin Mo wrapped up the gift box and returned it to the three goblin brothers: "You're welcome, I don't need these things."

The three goblin brothers were kicked out by Lin Mo, and they looked completely innocent, not knowing what they had done wrong.

Goblin Brother: "My benefactor doesn't like golden gifts!"

Goblin Brother 2: "Maybe next time we should send some raw meat."

The third goblin: "Humans are just too hard to fathom."

Li Qi had just finished basketball training and sat on the steps next to the basketball court. He twisted open a mineral water bottle, gulped down half of the water, and turned on his phone. Recently, he and Pang Hu had become obsessed with sending gifts to female live streamers.
