Chapter 459: I think it smells quite good

Higher Demon Academy, Higher Division Girls' Dormitory.

Only to see the center of the carpet woven from black goat wool, the magic array outlined with magic crystal powder was emitting its final afterglow.

Vivian sat in the center of the magic array, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and slowly opened those wine-red eyes that had just recovered from scarlet.

She hadn't fully recovered from that soul projection across space when a voice she couldn't hold back exploded in her ear.

"Sister! Did you see big brother?!"

Looking at Vivian who woke up from the ritual, Nan Fu almost pounced on her, his expectant expression just like a puppy seeing its master come home.

Although Nan Fu was terrified of that unfathomable big brother, even having a stomachache or shaking legs when hearing about meeting him, this didn't prevent him from casting curious and worshipful gazes at his respected big brother from a safe place.

"Go, go, go, stay on the side."

Vivian unceremoniously pressed Nan Fu's forehead, just like Luo Yan pressed her head, and stuffed him to the side.

No malice—

She purely wanted to experience this feeling of being in control.

Just when Nan Fu was protesting with a grievance, another concerned voice came from the side.

"How is it? Was the ritual successful? Did you see the situation on the other side?" The one speaking was Vivian's best friend Haini Weite, whose quiet face was now full of expectation.

As the planner and implementer of the entire ritual, she was different from Nan Fu, who was eager to know about his big brother; she was purely curious about whether the magic knowledge she had flipped out from that dusty notebook was as effective as the legends said.

"Hmm... saw it."

Vivian, who had finished cleaning up Nan Fu, clapped her hands and stood up from the magic array.

Only to see her nod seriously, but her hand unconsciously raised, placing it on her flat chest, as if looking for something that didn't exist.

Clearly, she hadn't fully sobered up, or was still adapting to the gap between reality and illusion.

A moment later, Vivian muttered seriously.

"This guy... is not to be underestimated."

It turned out that what that vixen succubus said about big breasts making shoulders tired was true.

Before, she thought the vixen of the Padritch family was showing off, but now it seemed she had wronged her...

No, even if it was true, it didn't rule out that the guy had the element of showing off in it!

Thinking of this, Vivian's teeth felt itchy again.

"... Not to be underestimated?" Looking at Vivian, who was relieved one moment and gnashing her teeth the next, Haini Weite couldn't help but be stunned.

That tone didn't sound like she was evaluating her big brother, but more like she was evaluating an evenly matched opponent.

"Ahem—!"

Vivian immediately realized she was distracted, her cheeks flushed, and she coughed to change the subject.

"Ah, what I meant was, big brother's strength is indeed unfathomable! It's only been a year since we met, I didn't expect him to be Purple Crystal Tier already! Kuku kuku... as expected of my big brother!"

By the end, Vivian laughed exaggeratedly a few times, although the laughter was as stiff as it could be, as if she were forcing a save.

However, compared to the shocking information she threw out in this sentence, her embarrassment and panic were already completely ignored.

"Purple Crystal Tier!?"

Nan Fu and Haini Weite exclaimed almost in unison, both their young faces filled with shock.

Whether on the surface or in Hell, high-level transcendent beings were rare, and every level between them was like a natural chasm!

Generally speaking, Diamond Tier was already a powerhouse capable of guarding one side, and Purple Crystal Tier was even more of a height that was out of reach for most ordinary demons!

Usually, that had to be the patriarch or direct successor of each family, or a heavy minister holding the core power of the Demon Capital!

And what was discussed here was only the upper limit.

In other words, even if it was a descendant of a Hell-founding family with one foot in the Demon God Palace, wanting to reach a height that matched the soul was something that required huge effort.

And Luo Yan clearly didn't belong to this sequence.

To reach such a height, just making immortal achievements might not be enough; most likely, it had to be a God-Chosen sent down by the Demon God Majesty...

"Demon God above..." Nan Fu was flushed with excitement, his fists clenched, "Big brother... he's not even twenty-five, right? He's already a Purple Crystal Tier powerhouse! This is too incredible!"

"This... is indeed too incredible,"

Haini Weite also covered her mouth, her face full of surprise.

"I have consulted the school history of the Higher Demon Academy. Even that genius of the Hephis family who was known as the 'Magma of the Demon Capital' several hundred years ago only promoted to Purple Crystal Tier at the age of thirty-five... if this is true, Councilor Luo Yan has simply refreshed history! This kind of strength is likely a miracle that is unique in the entire Hell."

"As expected of my big brother!"

Vivian's nose was almost in the sky, that proud expression simply like saying "praise my big brother more, you're welcome."

Nan Fu was still muttering "too powerful," this guy seemed unable to pop out other words.

As for Haini Weite, her eyes were shining with a thirst for knowledge, looking at Vivian and continuing to pursue excitedly.

"And then?"

"Af, after?"

"Yeah! I mean, who exactly is the 'dependent' your big brother caught for you? To be able to make your strength suddenly produce such a leap, it must not be a nobody!"

"Ah... you mean her," looking at Haini Weite, whose eyes were burning, Vivian's expression suddenly became subtle. "Uh, I remember her name is Princess Ailin Campbell—"

"Campbell... Campbell?!"

Haini Weite gasped, her face full of admiration and shock, "Is that the hero family entrenched on the northeast coast of the Whirlpool Sea? The holder of the Light of Praise?!"

"He, hero family?! Is there such a saying..." Vivian muttered, remembering it seemed to be a knight family.

But it didn't matter.

Many legends in Hell and the surface already had deviations, and she thought Haini Weite had flipped out some old knowledge from the library again.

"It's really incredible..." Haini Weite muttered to herself, as if telling an ancient legend, "I remember that the Demon Kings of Lei Ming County had never defeated the holder of the Light of Praise, and your big brother actually did it!"

Nan Fu also followed and shouted excitedly.

"Too, too strong!"

A vivid epic was born in front of them!

The image of that Councilor Luo Yan, whom they had never met, became increasingly tall in their hearts!

Watching the two making a fuss, Vivian was also secretly proud. It was just that, mixed in this pride, there was also a sour taste of mixed joy and worry.

At the moment of possessing Princess Ailin, she could clearly feel that the feeling for "Prince Prince Kelin" in that woman's heart was far more than the pure friendship in her brother's mouth.

She even had a feeling that it was precisely the resonance triggered by that strong longing that pulled her from the distant Demon Capital to there.

"Haha... it's okay. Although the Campbell family is quite famous on the northeast coast of the Whirlpool Sea, it's still far from the Prince Prince Kelin family, not worth mentioning!"

Seeing Nan Fu curiously asking Haini Weite about the history of the Campbell family, Vivian stiffly ended this topic that made her mood complicated.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered one thing, and then quickly looked at Haini Weite, asking for accountability.

"By the way, Haini Weite! Didn't you say that ritual... was very hidden? Why was I discovered by him instantly!"

Looking at Vivian, who didn't know why she suddenly became excited again, Haini Weite blinked innocently.

"This... the ritual is indeed hidden, an ordinary person definitely wouldn't see any difference, but it doesn't seem strange to be discovered, right?"

"Where is it not strange! Let alone hidden, he he he saw through it in an instant, okay!" Vivian puffed her cheeks, saying aggressively, "I still wanted to... give him a surprise, do you know how passive I was at that time?!"

She still didn't have the face to say what exactly the surprise was.

Nan Fu was curious and wanted to ask, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his mouth was sewn shut by a murderous gaze.

That was the pressure of a Platinum Tier powerhouse!

Not something a little vampire who had just risen to the Middle Division could contend with.

Haini Weite didn't think too deeply, just said without thinking, "Isn't that obvious? It shows your big brother knows you very well."

Knows... me?!

That short sentence was like the shining Light of Praise, instantly hitting Vivian's heart. The shame and resentment piled up on her face vanished, replaced by a moving red glow.

Vivian quickly lowered her head, hiding the red glow.

Only to see her staring blankly at the ground, her fair index finger winding around her slightly curled purple hair, spinning round and round, as if knitting a sweater.

"Ah... is, is that so? Si, since that's the case... then there's no way... hehe, so that's how it is."

Looking at Vivian, who was still baring her fangs and brandishing her claws a second ago, and suddenly started stuttering the next second, Haini Weite looked at Nan Fu, who had just escaped from the pressure of the Platinum Tier powerhouse, with a subtle expression.

This guy...

What on earth is wrong with her?

'Could it be that the ritual magic went wrong?'

'I don't know.'

'Why don't you remind her?'

'Me???'

'Hurry up! Otherwise, she will definitely be embarrassed to death when she wakes up.'

Under the instigation of Haini Weite's eyes, Nan Fu swallowed his saliva, looked at Vivian, who was completely immersed in fantasy and unable to extricate herself, and reminded her in a low voice.

"Sister, you look a bit weird—ooh ooh ooh!"

The miserable scream pierced the floor and finally attracted the dormitory manager who was pretending to sleep.

Whether in the Higher Demon Academy or the Xuebang of the Empire, conducting magic experiments in the dormitory is a taboo of taboos.

Even the Prince Prince Kelin family couldn't just let it go!

In the end, this commotion ended with "Nan Fu trespassing in the girls' dormitory and being punished to be on duty in the girls' dormitory for a week"...

Princess Ailin had a very, very long dream.

In that lead-gray dream, a female vampire whose face she couldn't see clearly chased her, shouting that she wanted to eat her.

Princess Ailin didn't know why she had to run; she could clearly stop and fight, but her body was not under her control.

This feeling was as if she had returned to when she was very, very small, facing danger and could only run away helplessly, looking for an exit to the nightmare.

Wake up quickly—

She gritted her teeth and tried to wake up, but tripped over a tree branch in a trance.

Watching the vampire about to pounce, Princess Ailin had already closed her eyes, but a breeze blew to her side.

It was Prince Prince Kelin!

An unprecedented sense of security wrapped around her whole body, and she opened her eyes, infinite joy surging in her heart.

He was like her father, tall and reliable, knocking down the fierce vampire with just an ordinary wooden stick.

Hmm...

Why was it a wooden stick?

She didn't understand, but soon felt relieved again.

Perhaps it meant a magic wand.

That disheveled female vampire let out an unwilling strange cry, just like a bat struck by lightning, circling and disappearing into the darkness...

And the little "girl" shrinking by Prince Prince Kelin's trouser leg was also woken up by this scream... actually, she didn't want to wake up so much at this time.

She even hoped this dream would continue.

"Hero saving the beauty" was just the candy wrapper wrapped outside the candy; everyone knew well that what followed was a story that truly made one blush and heartbeat.

For example—

Her foot was sprained, so she couldn't walk back alone, right?

Perhaps...

They had to rest for a night in the forest full of crises.

With a hazy and reluctant mood, Princess Ailin slowly opened her sleepy eyes.

And unlike last time, the reliable figure in the dream didn't disappear, but was still sitting quietly by her side.

Looking at Prince Prince Kelin, who was watching her gently, Princess Ailin's cheeks "whooshed" and turned red, subconsciously grabbing the edge of the quilt, wrapping herself tighter.

"Why... are you here?"

If it weren't for the bizarre dream just now, which made her have the illusion that the dream had come into reality, she probably wouldn't have been so guilty.

Looking at the "vampire knight" lady who was easily blushing, Luo Yan smiled gently and joked.

"Didn't you invite me here?"

Princess Ailin's face turned redder. Of course, she remembered that she brought him here, but she didn't expect that she would suddenly faint.

She had no memory of what happened after.

Including how she was lying here, and where the armor on her body went...

Luo Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the first impression was really important.

Clearly the same person, "Mr. Prince Prince Kelin" could make her shy, but "Luo Yan" almost received a sword.

Avoiding that bad-hearted smile, Princess Ailin opened the conversation in a low voice.

"Las, last night..."

Luo Yan continued for her.

"You suddenly fainted."

"Hmm..."

Princess Ailin nodded with a red face, but her emerald eyes couldn't help but stare straight at him, as if wanting to confirm that everything in front of her was not another dream, or as if expecting something.

Looking at the red apple that was almost ripe, Luo Yan smiled and said in a teasing tone.

"Rest assured, I didn't do anything to you. Teresa helped you change your clothes last night, and as for me, I slept in the tent next door."

"I, I believe you! I just... wanted to..."

"Don't say sorry."

"..." Princess Ailin subconsciously closed her mouth, but half of her face exposed from the quilt became redder, and the exposed part shrank smaller and smaller.

Luo Yan's lips curved, and he continued.

"How about now? Do you feel better after a sleep?"

Princess Ailin nodded gently.

It wasn't just better; she felt she had never been so full of strength, as if yesterday's fatigue and pain were just an illusion.

She even vaguely felt that she seemed stronger than when she fought Rolandar yesterday...

The power of the vampire was subtly changing her.

"I... feel much better."

"That's good."

Luo Yan also nodded, then took out a vial filled with bright red solution from the side and placed it on the table by the bed.

"This is the potion I prepared for you, drink it."

Princess Ailin nodded gently, without any hesitation, propped up her body from under the quilt, picked up the potion on the table, and drank it in one gulp.

The liquid carried a hint of strange sweetness, turning into a warm current after flowing into her abdomen, making her feel even more comfortable.

She licked her lips, still wanting more, and put the vial back on the table, looking at Mr. Prince Prince Kelin sitting by the bed with bright eyes.

"You seem... to know vampires very well?"

He seemed to know everything.

Luo Yan nodded frankly: "I learned about it when I was in the Xuebang, but I didn't expect that I would really run into one."

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Princess Ailin's face.

"Sorry, I've caused you trouble."

"Look, here we go again... I said, don't always say such distant words."

The Demon King's interest had already been collected for a hundred years, so would he be short of these few thank yous or apologies?

Luo Yan shook his head with a smile, looked at Princess Ailin who was burying her head in embarrassment, and said seriously, "And I don't think this is any trouble. Although I am not a knight, I will still do what I promised. It's you, the trouble behind is still a lot, everything has just begun... are you mentally prepared?"

Princess Ailin, who heard this, fell into silence.

Indeed.

The war with the Chaos Apostles is still going on, and she must hide her vampire identity and continue to fight in the name of Campbell.

Not only that—

After the war, there are countless troubles waiting for her.

However, seeing Prince Prince Kelin's face, she suddenly felt that there was nothing to worry about, and all the dark clouds in her heart were blown away by a breeze.

Think about the future later.

Now, she only needs to do one thing, which is to bring victory back to the Campbell Principality... don't let those who look up to her and support her down.

Princess Ailin nodded seriously.

"I am ready."

A gentle smile appeared on Luo Yan's face.

"Since that's the case, then I can rest assured."

Actually, no matter if Princess Ailin was ready or not, he had already prepared three sets of plans, upper, middle, and lower.

If the vampire identity can be hidden, of course, hide it first. If it really can't be hidden, let a Saintess issue her a "Holy Vampire" license.

Anyway, both left and right hands are his chess pieces, so isn't the direction of the entire script just a word from his Demon King?

Just at this moment, Princess Ailin suddenly felt a warm current surging in her lower abdomen, gradually spreading to her whole body, dispelling the coldness in her hands and feet and the fatigue between her brows.

She was surprised to find that her body, which was weak due to overdrawing vitality, had actually recovered quite a bit of strength.

Looking at the empty bottle on the side, an uncontrollable surprise appeared on Princess Ailin's face.

"This is... what potion?"

Luo Yan looked at her cute, slow-to-react appearance, and couldn't help but joke: "You thought to ask after drinking it?"

Princess Ailin's cheeks turned red, she coughed lightly, feeling a hint of embarrassment for her recklessness, "Don't tease me..."

Luo Yan didn't tease her anymore, and said concisely.

"It's a potion for conditioning the body, it's good for your recovery. If you insist on drinking it for a week, you should be able to recover to your best state."

The potion itself was nothing mysterious.

It was nothing more than the "Quiet Snow Bud" treasured by Professor Hector, plus a large amount of Minotaur blood. The former was responsible for covering up the smell and refreshing the mind, and the latter was the favorite of vampires.

Last night, he asked Vivian about the way for vampires to recover from injuries. Vivian, who often fought with people, had a lot of experience in this, and immediately patted her chest and told him—

Just pour a mouthful of Minotaur blood and it will be fine!

Minotaurs are not easy to find on the surface, but for a member of the Demon Capital, it is simply too easy, and he got it in minutes.

"Thank you..."

"Here we go again. I said, don't always thank me or apologize to me."

Luo Yan shook his head with a smile, took back the empty bottle, and instead placed another small crystal bottle on the table, continuing to instruct.

"This is a perfume I specifically prepared for you. Remember to sprinkle a little on your body when you go out. You don't need much, a drop is enough. It can cover up the aura on your body—"

"Am, am I very smelly?" Princess Ailin heard this and smelled her sleeve in panic, but couldn't smell anything.

"How could that be?" Looking at her nervous appearance, Luo Yan was amused again, "This has nothing to do with being smelly, it's just that the dwarf's nose is more sensitive, and they can smell some special things from vampires."

Speaking of this, he changed the subject and added with a smiling voice.

"By the way, I personally think it smells quite good."

Princess Ailin's cheeks turned into ripe apples again.

Not just her, even Luo Yan himself was wondering if this sentence was a bit suspicious of sexual harassment.

Sin, sin...

Blame this guy's expression for being too interesting, making people want to tease her.

'Gee! Demon King, didn't expect you—'

'You You, shut up.'

'Well, at least let You You finish talking?! QAQ'

Hmm?

When did this guy learn to use emoticons?

Just when Princess Ailin wished she could find a crack in the ground to drill into, Teresa in full military uniform suddenly lifted the curtain of the tent and walked in from the outside.

Seeing Princess Ailin who had already gotten up, she stepped forward in surprise.

"Highness, are you awake?"

Her arrival finally relieved the embarrassed Princess Ailin.

Without any hesitation, Princess Ailin immediately slipped off the bed, coughed lightly, and restored the calmness of the commander on weekdays.

"Hmm, I'm awake, Teresa... last night, I caused you trouble."

"Where is that, Highness," Teresa put her right fist on her chest and said sincerely, "Being your reliance is the honor of me and others!"

"Hmm, having you by my side is also my honor."

Looking at her loyal subordinates, a gentle smile appeared on Princess Ailin's face.

However, soon, her expression sharpened, and she turned back into that majestic knight, replacing the gentleness on her face with the decisiveness of a thunderbolt.

That silvery-white hair like moonlight radiated a different kind of nobility in the morning sun, just like the marble wall outside Saint Clement Cathedral.

Even if she became a vampire—

She was still that knight who adhered to the creed.

Would never submit to evil!

Nor would she bow to Chaos!

"Take me to see my soldiers."

Looking at the subordinates whose eyes were burning with fighting spirit, Princess Ailin curled a confident smile at the corner of her mouth and opened her mouth with a clear voice.

"Not only did we disappear for a whole night yesterday, but we also missed the banquet to celebrate the victory, so it's time to show our faces in front of everyone!"

After saying that, she looked at Prince Prince Kelin heroically, a hint of invitation and expectation flashing in those emerald eyes.

"Prince Prince Prince Kelin, would you like to accompany me?"

If the guys in Campbell knew that they had another powerful ally, no matter whether this ally's soldiers had set foot on this land or not, it would be enough to raise their already high morale to a higher level.

And—

They should understand why she disappeared last night.

Watching Princess Ailin, who had regained her spirit, Luo Yan nodded with a smile.

"It is my honor." ===== CHAPTER 460 =====
