Comprehensive anime illustrations, but all the beautiful girls in the group chat want to pay for you

"Didn't you make the decision yourself, Miss?"

The night wind suddenly became noisy, ruffling Remlia's skirt.

She looked at Sakuya's always calm expression and suddenly realized——

The head maid who knew her best was now reminding her in the most gentle way to be responsible for her choices.

Her tone paused, as if she had figured something out.

Perhaps, she should talk to Zhou Yuan and clarify some things.

"Sakuya..."

She suddenly turned around, her scarlet eyes sparkling with a strange brilliance in the moonlight.

The head maid still maintained her perfect posture, but Remlia noticed that her drooping eyelashes trembled slightly——

This was a rare moment of emotional fluctuation that Sakuya showed.

"you're right."

Remlia suddenly smiled, her pointed fangs flashing cunningly in the moonlight.

"But since this is my decision..."

She spread her bat wings gracefully, and the rose petals outside the window were picked up by the air currents, dancing in the moonlight.

"Then I shall personally finish it."

Before he could finish his words, the petite figure transformed into a group of blood-red bats and rushed towards the corridor.

Sakuya looked at the falling rose petals, and the smile on her lips finally showed some warmth.

She gently picked up a petal that had fallen on the windowsill. Her silver pocket watch chimed softly at the stroke of midnight:

"This is the young lady I serve..."

The midnight bell rang from the distant clock tower, and the silver-haired head maid gradually merged into the shadows where the moonlight could not reach.

At the other end of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Zhou Yuan's door was gently knocked by a night breeze carrying the scent of roses.

------------

"Zhou Yuan! I came to see you..."

Remlia excitedly pushed open the carved wooden door, her clear voice filled with joy.

However, the next second, she froze in place as if struck by petrification magic, her fair cheeks instantly turning red.

"Remi?!"

Zhou Yuan hurriedly pulled over the velvet quilt. The moonlight filtered through the gap in the curtains, just outlining the overlapping figures on the bed.

"Shouldn't you wait for my permission before coming in?!"

Melyuchina's long silver hair spread across the pillow like moonlight, and her golden pupils narrowed dangerously.

She lazily raised her body, letting the sheets slide down to reveal her graceful shoulders, and her dragon tail wrapped around Zhou Yuan's waist in a demonstrative manner.

"Ah..."

The Dragon Fairy's voice was hoarse afterward, and her fingertips carelessly played with Zhou Yuan's hair.

"Isn't this our noble Queen of the Night? How come, have you forgotten even the most basic etiquette?"

Remlia's bat wings unconsciously folded together, and her fingertips wrinkled the hem of her skirt.

She opened her mouth, but only a few weak sounds came out, like a kitten with its neck pinched.

"me..."

She stuttered and stepped back, her gorgeous cloak accidentally tangled around her ankle, almost tripping her.

"You...you continue!"

Before he could finish his words, he turned into a group of panicked little bats, knocking over the paintings in the corridor and knocking over an antique vase.

Melyuchina looked at the swarm of bats fleeing in all directions and suddenly chuckled.

She turned around and lay on Zhou Yuan's chest, her silver hair cascading down like water:

"It seems that a certain young lady is finally going to face her own feelings~"

Zhou Yuan held his forehead helplessly, and suddenly there was a loud "thump" sound outside the window -

Apparently a little bat, disoriented, had stumbled into the rose garden fountain.

In the moonlight, you can vaguely see a few wet rose petals floating in the ripples on the water.

Chapter 75 No, you came at the right time!

"Well..."

Remlia suddenly covered her red cheeks as if she was scalded, and wisps of steam came out of her head.

The bat wings that usually looked so majestic were now folded uneasily, trembling slightly behind her back, causing even the lace on her skirt to tremble slightly.

(Um... so there's that... if I let that in...)

Certain images flashed through her mind uncontrollably, and her whole body shook as if she had been electrocuted, almost knocking over the teacup in her hand.

The scalding black tea splashed on his gloves, but he didn't notice it at all.

"Cough cough..."

Zhou Yuan cleared his throat awkwardly, his Adam's apple rolling unnaturally.

He quietly tightened the collar of his pajamas, and secretly fastened his belt with his slender fingers in the dark.

"Miss Remlia, what do you want to talk to me about?"

The moonlight filtered through the gap in the curtains, casting a flickering streak of light on the floor.

The room was so quiet that all that could be heard was the soft crackling of the charcoal in the fireplace and the increasingly rapid beating of Remlia's heart.

"I..."

Remlia opened her mouth, but was instantly speechless when her eyes swept over Melyusina's half-smile.

The dragon fairy was lazily leaning against the headboard, her silver hair cascading down like moonlight, her fingertips circling Zhou Yuan's belt from time to time.

This little possessive gesture made Remlia's bat wings retract again.

She suddenly realized that her carefully prepared "night attack plan" had completely deviated from her expectations.

All the majestic lines that I had prepared were now stuck in my throat, leaving only a tangled mess of thoughts swirling in my mind.

……

"Ugh..."

A faint sigh floated in from outside the door like night mist, breaking the subtle silence in the room.

Patchouli's figure slowly emerged from the shadows, the moonlight flowing on her purple silk nightgown, outlining her slender outline, and the magic book automatically turned the yellowed pages at her fingertips.

"Let me explain."

The witch pushed up her glasses that had slipped down, and her violet eyes behind the lenses flashed with a cunning light.

She leaned lazily against the door frame, her eyes darting back and forth between the three of them, finally settling on Remlia, who she wished she could curl up into a ball.

The usually majestic Queen of the Night was now tugging at the hem of her skirt like a child who had done something wrong, with even the alopecia on her head drooping limply.

"Our Miss Remlia..."

Patchouli's lips curled up in an arc of understanding, and her fingertips gently stroked the edge of the page.

"He started pacing back and forth in the study at tea time, flipping through all three magic books..."

Remlia's bat wings trembled violently, and a few tiny pieces of fluff fell down.

She opened her mouth to argue, but was stopped by Patchouli's meaningful look.

"—Finally, under my repeated questioning, he stammered and said..."

Patchouli suddenly imitated Remlia's tone, even the shrill voice was very realistic.

"'Patch! I, I feel like I'm...'"

"Patch!!"

Remlia's fur instantly stood up, and she jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, with the hair on her head standing straight up.

She hurriedly tried to rush over to cover her friend's mouth, but she tripped over her gorgeous cloak and almost fell into the fireplace.

In the moonlight, Melyusina's dragon tail swung happily, and the scales scraped against the floor, making a rustling sound;

Zhou Yuan touched his nose awkwardly, his ears turning red.

This sudden "confession broadcast" made the originally ambiguous atmosphere even more subtle.

"Okay, okay~ I'm not kidding anymore~"

Seeing her friend's face filled with shame and anger, Patchouli finally mercifully put away her mischievous smile.

She closed the magic book gracefully, and her voice suddenly became serious:

"Do you remember the First Embrace?"

This sudden question made the air in the room freeze instantly.

Remlia's movements suddenly froze, and even her breathing stopped for a moment.

The moonlight shone on her suddenly pale cheeks, reflecting a look of panic.

-------------

"Are you talking about the thing Fran and Remi did together?"

Zhou Yuan's fingertips unconsciously touched the side of his neck——

The two tooth marks left there had long since disappeared due to its powerful self-healing ability, but the stinging sensation in the memory was far more profound than the marks on the skin.

"correct."

Patchouli pushed her glasses, and a complex light flashed in her purple eyes behind the lenses.

The magic book at her fingertips automatically turned the yellowed pages, finally stopping at an illustration depicting a bloody ritual.

"To be honest, I was also shocked when I saw it for the first time."

Her voice suddenly became low.

"Perhaps... you don't fully understand the true meaning of First Embrace in vampire culture."

"Ok?"

The moonlight happened to shine on the open pages, illuminating the ancient words in the "Blood Oath" chapter.

Patchouli's fingertips gently brushed across the gilded titles, her voice carrying an unprecedented solemnity:

"The Embrace isn't just a simple exchange of blood... It's a sacred ritual by which a vampire declares their ownership of their prey, like branding their prey with a unique mark, forbidding anyone else to lay their hands on it. And being embraced by two vampires simultaneously..."

The pages of the book suddenly turned automatically and stopped at a taboo record about the "Twin Contract".

Zhou Yuan's pupils contracted slightly——

It detailed the brutal procedures of the ice water bath and blood exchange.

In this ritual, his blood was completely replaced, and his heart even needed to rely on the blood of the vampires to reignite its beating.

"This is an event that rarely occurs in the entire vampire record. And all those who have been recorded as having been embraced for the first time have died. You are the only exception..."

Patchouli's voice became softer and softer.

"Because the 'bloodline conflict' brought about by the Twin Embrace will cause the two bloodlines to wrestle within the human body, and this impact... no one can withstand..."

Her fingertips suddenly stopped at the paragraph about "positive mutation," and the lens reflected the moonlight:

"And the fact that you're able to survive... perhaps it's because Remi unconsciously activated her ability to manipulate fate."

[She guessed wrong here~ The main reason why the Master survived was still the work of the "Furnace of All Things"!]

Xiaotu corrected playfully in his mind, then fell silent again.

Patchouli suddenly took off her glasses and looked directly at Zhou Yuan with her purple eyes:
