Chapter 418: Volume 1, Chapter 418 – Sinful Island (16)

The cold, damp kiss moved from the corner of her mouth to the side of her neck, the sharp fang pressing against Shengxue's skin, black short hair falling and resting on her jaw, bringing a tingling, itchy sensation.

She uncomfortably lifted her head, the edge of her collar revealing a beautifully contoured collarbone, as well as skin like pure snow, smooth and delicate, her breath erratic; the young man's icy, long fingers slowly explored downward, gripping her small, bright ankle.

What followed went exactly as she had imagined.

By the time the young man atop her stopped, a long time had passed.

Jiang Zhi lay in the coffin like a lifeless salted fish; her body had been carefully cleaned by the young man, but the places that should hurt had not lessened.

The satisfied Yun Jin leaned near the corner of her eye and kissed her deeply, saying, "I love you, Zhizhi."

If Jiang Zhi weren't maintaining the persona of a blood servant, she would now want to punch him in the face.

But she cannot strike now; she can only endure.

She curled the corners of her lips, her dark eyes filled with starlight, feeling both reliant and delighted.

"I love you too, A Li."

…

After feigning affection for a while, Jiang Zhi excused herself saying she felt unwell, lay back in the coffin, and continued to sleep.

Meanwhile, Yun Jin went to the yard to tend to his flowers.

Jiang Zhi did not know when his plan was; she took out the phone the black-clothed person had given her from its hiding place.

She edited a text message to the number ranked first in her contacts.

(I have recalled everything that happened before; the progenitor Li Wu wants to make all humans and vampires disappear—how should I help you stop his actions?)

After the message was sent,

Jiang Zhi waited over ten minutes, and the other side finally replied.

(We have already heard about your matter from Zeng Yao. The roses she brought carry a toxin that can paralyze nerves, but they are not the raw material for the poison.)

(Tonight at seven, Li Wu will hold a gathering in the center of Sinful Island's square; you should find a chance to escape.)

Jiang Zhi saw this message and froze for a moment.

She had thought the mysterious organization would assign her some tasks, such as stopping Li Wu from going to the square.

But they not only gave her no task, they instead told her to find an opportunity to escape.

It seems the person behind this organization is someone she should know.

Otherwise, the black-clothed person earlier would not have brought her photo to look for her.

The remaining question is why Yun Jin wants to hold a gathering.

As the progenitor of vampires, the antagonist's fame in this world far surpasses that of the president; he is the object of worship for many vampires and also the goal they aspire to.

His gathering will surely draw many vampires to watch.

Those vampires unable to come to Sinful Island can only watch the live broadcast.

If Yun Jin wants to wipe everyone out tonight, how could he manage to broadcast the toxin?

She turned off her phone again, then quietly went to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking toward the yard through the thick curtain's gap.

The young man standing in the flowerbed wore gloves, using scissors to cut each rose bouquet, letting them fall onto the soil.

Recalling that message, Jiang Zhi rested her chin on her hand and pondered.

In this villa, only the roses planted in this flowerbed are suspicious; if they are not the poison's raw material, then where is the material for making the poison?

Jiang Zhi's heart tightened.

The basement of the storage room.

There was still half an hour until seven o'clock.

As she paced back and forth anxiously, Yun Jin in the flowerbed, after cutting all the rose stems, removed his gloves and walked toward the villa.

He entered the living room and soon reached the floor where she was.

Jiang Zhi, who had already lain back in the coffin, pretended to sleep with her eyes closed.

Footsteps stopped beside the coffin; she opened her eyes to see a face close before her—a young vampire progenitor with a godlike, flawless handsome visage, Eastern bone structure, a pair of captivating light-gold eyes, and cold-white skin that especially drew the gaze in the darkness.

"Zhizhi, I have something to attend to outside."

Jiang Zhi dazed for a moment, then murmured, "Where to?"

Yun Jin leaned half his body toward the coffin, his thin calloused fingertip rubbing her delicate, snow‑white earlobe once, and gently said, "I'm going to handle some matters; stay here obediently and wait for me to return."

Jiang Zhi uncomfortably dodged his finger; her originally fair earlobe turned a bright, dripping red, like a blooming rose, adding a touch of vivid color.

"I know~ go ahead~"

Yun Jin left reluctantly.

Hearing the car engine fade away, Jiang Zhi hurriedly crawled out of the coffin and ran to the basement.

In the storage room she found an electric saw; she did not try to break the mechanical lock, but instead cut through the iron door.

Inside lay A Du, already unconscious from excessive blood loss; at this point he could only wait for death.

Jiang Zhi slit her wrist and let streams of blood flow into his mouth.

She roughly understood what the poison's raw material was.

It is the blood of an S‑rank vampire.

Once an ordinary vampire drinks the blood of an S‑rank vampire, the blood in its body is devoured by the powerful S‑rank blood.

But what Yun Jin wants goes beyond that.

He has produced a toxin that can destroy vampires without needing to be ingested.

As soon as it touches the skin, the toxin seeps into the blood vessels.

While squeezing out blood, Jiang Zhi muttered, "How ruthless Yun Jin is toward his own soul fragments."

A Du, Xu Hang, and Li Wu are all soul fragments of Yun Jin.

Li Wu's soul was merged with Yun Jin, disappearing from this world.

The remaining A Du and Xu Hang, one is in imminent danger, the other's whereabouts unknown.

777: "Maybe it's because one mountain can't hold two tigers?"

Jiang Zhi laughed upon hearing that.

Damn it, one mountain can't hold two tigers.

After sucking her blood, the A Du lying on the ground felt somewhat better, opened his heavy eyes, and upon seeing it was her, his wariness and guard vanished.

"You still have guts!" he said weakly.

Despite coming here repeatedly, he's not afraid of being discovered by the old thing.

Jiang Zhi got up and asked, "Can you still get up?"

A Du looked disheveled, with dark circles under his eyes, yet the light in his eyes could not be concealed.

"I can't get up; my blood has been drained."

Jiang Zhi had no choice but to help him up.

The boy, however, was limp as if boneless, his whole body slumped in her embrace, and he still didn't forget to take advantage of her.

Jiang Zhi gave a dead-fish stare: "Don't push your luck."

A Du snorted, said angrily: "Let him touch you if he wants; I can't even touch you once."

Like a child.

Jiang Zhi helped him out of the iron door, the flashlight fell onto several iron doors in the corridor, she didn't answer his words but asked: "Who is locked inside?"

A Du twitched the corner of his mouth: "Monster."

Jiang Zhi: "?"

Seeing that she didn't understand his meaning, A Du slightly lifted his eyelids, and a hint of malice flickered in his narrow eyes.

"You should know that vampires don't die of starvation, right?"

If a vampire never drinks blood, it will turn into a monster with a twisted beast-like form.

That old thing, Li Wu, wanted to turn him into a monster.

He had been starved for over a month, but A Du managed to pull through.

Jiang Zhi understood, "Are they all S-rank vampires inside?"

A Du raised an eyebrow, gave her a sideways glance: "Where in this world are there so many S-rank vampires?"

Once a vampire mutates into a monster, its blood also changes; ordinary vampires, upon contact, will be affected and lose their sanity.
