TL: Moonlit

Shi Yunyi looked at this foolish human who had pulled himself behind him.

He curled his lips and let out a cold snort.

Shi Yunyi recognized the person in front of him at a glance. It was this person who had kept him locked up in his house during this time, treating him like a fool.

And…

Shi Yunyi’s pupils suddenly contracted. He didn’t mishear the words just now. This person actually called him a little fool!

A flame suddenly surged in Shi Yunyi’s heart.

How dare this person call him a fool in front of so many people!

It was a direct challenge to his authority!

Who did he think he was?

He was the Blood Emperor, towering above all! Even among vampires, he was the supreme existence.

And this foolish human dared to insult him with such words so openly!

His eyes narrowed, and a sense of killing intent started to emerge in Shi Yunyi’s heart.

Moreover, this damned human actually told him to run away. Who did he think he was? How could he possibly escape?

For Shi Yunyi, the number of people in front of him, even if there were tens of thousands, was insignificant.

Compared to the weakness of humans, as a vampire, he was incredibly powerful.

Xiao Mihu’s voice echoed in Bai Yu’s ears.

“[Host, the antagonist’s favorability is rapidly decreasing.]”

“[Ding, current target character favorability -10.]”

“[Ding, current target character favorability -10.]”

“[Ding, current target character favorability -10.]”

“…”

“[Current target character favorability is -30%]”

Bai Yu furrowed his brow. It seemed that this fool had reverted to his initial state.

Bai Yu had initially planned to quickly raise Shi Yunyi’s favorability to 100% and complete this world as fast as possible.

But he hadn’t expected such a change to occur.

After all the hard work for decades, it was like going back in time.

However, Bai Yu still didn’t fully understand the abilities of vampires.

There were so many people in front of them, and Shi Yunyi had just recovered from a serious illness.

In Bai Yu’s eyes, how could he possibly be a match for so many people?

And these people were holding torches and weapons, some even brandishing silver crosses.

Silver was a potent weapon against vampires, capable of causing serious harm to ordinary vampires.

Bai Yu couldn’t help but feel worried.

Although the person in front of him still had that arrogant appearance, in Bai Yu’s heart, he was still the image of a crybaby fool.

Bai Yu didn’t pay any attention to the villagers and directly shouted at Shi Yunyi, “Shut up! If you don’t want to die, come with me.”

He grabbed Shi Yunyi’s arm and quickly ran towards his place of residence.

Shi Yunyi was completely stunned.

So this foolish human actually wanted to save him?

And he was pulling him along.

Didn’t he know that he could fly?

How could he be so foolish?

Shi Yunyi had never seen such a person who underestimate his abilities in all his life.

These silver weapons might be useful against ordinary vampires, but he was the Blood Emperor.

To him, these things were just rubbish.

However, for some reason, although Shi Yunyi was filled with disdain for Bai Yu in his heart, as he looked at Bai Yu’s anxious expression and saw how he wanted to protect him even in front of so many people, the killing intent in his heart slowly diminished…

It was as if a stone had been thrown into the lake of his heart, causing ripples to spread layer by layer.

Just then, laughter suddenly resounded in the sky.

A figure appeared in the air, as if he had been watching for a long time.

A man’s voice rang out.

“Shi Yunyi, I never expected to see you like this! You actually need a human to protect you!”

The man sat on the eaves, mocking Shi Yunyi, and couldn’t stop laughing, “Hahaha!”.

He pointed at Shi Yunyi’s hair, laughing uncontrollably, “What’s with your hair? Looks like a dog chewed on it. Are you this destitute now?”

Shi Yunyi’s eyes widened instantly. He glared fiercely at the man in front of him and suddenly let go of Bai Yu’s hand, flying towards the man’s direction.

His previously trimmed nails instantly grew out, and Shi Yunyi fiercely jabbed his fingers toward the man’s heart.

A hole appeared instantly on the man’s body, and purple blood oozed out.

Shi Yunyi held his heart in his hand, tightly grasping it.

However, to everyone’s shock, although the man’s heart had been taken out, he didn’t die. He knelt on the ground in pain.

Vampires were the highest-level beings in this realm, immortal unless their hearts turned to ashes. No matter what kind of injury they suffered, they wouldn’t die.

“Shi… Blood Emperor, please return my heart to me.”

The man hurriedly knelt in front of Shi Yunyi.

He had thought that Shi Yunyi was seriously injured, which was why he dared to mock him like that. But now it seemed that Shi Yunyi had already regained his strength.

Shi Yunyi played with the heart in his hand, and he moved his fingers, making slashing motions in the air toward the man. The man was instantly split in half.

But his heart remained, so he wouldn’t die. Soon, the two halves of his body merged back together, returning to their original state.

The man looked even more terrified, feeling Shi Yunyi’s hand holding his heart tighten.

Shi Yunyi coldly glanced at him and then threw the heart in the man’s direction.

“Mo Yun, if you dare to do this again, I won’t mind killing you.”

This man named Mo Yun didn’t dare to show any disrespect and bowed down before Shi Yunyi.

“Yes, Blood Emperor.”

In the vampire world, strength was everything. If he couldn’t defeat Shi Yunyi, he had to obey his commands.

Shi Yunyi coldly glanced at Mo Yun, then lowered his gaze to the group of people standing on the ground.

These people had originally intended to capture Shi Yunyi at all costs. However, after witnessing his formidable strength, they were now trembling with fear, unable to muster the courage to approach him.

Someone shouted, “Run!”

The group of people scattered in all directions, fleeing for their lives.

Shi Yunyi’s lips curled up slightly, a cruel smile on his face. His hunt had just begun, and he wouldn’t let these humans who wanted to harm him escape so easily.

He was a vampire, a creature that preyed on others. These people were nothing more than the lowest-grade food to him. He wouldn’t even deign to taste their blood.

But since they dared to come after him, how could he possibly let them go?

However, just as Shi Yunyi was about to swoop down, he saw a frail figure open its arms and block his path.

Shi Yunyi abruptly halted.

It was that damn human again!

“Get out of the way!” he growled.

Bai Yu shook his head firmly. “You can’t harm them!”

For Bai Yu, it wasn’t just about capturing Shi Yunyi; he also wanted to prevent him from turning evil.

If Shi Yunyi were to kill so many people in one go, his corruption value would undoubtedly skyrocket.

And besides, Bai Yu couldn’t bear to just watch as Shi Yunyi killed so many people.

Shi Yunyi’s face grew cold as he looked at the meddlesome figure before him. A strong aura of killing intent emanated from him.

But Bai Yu remained unmoved, looking at him provocatively.

“I won’t move!”

“I fucking told you to move! Don’t think I won’t kill you!” Shi Yunyi instantly reached out and gripped Bai Yu’s neck.

His fingers tightened.

With a single movement of his fingertips, this annoying fellow would disappear from the world completely.

The events that occurred during his period of being a “fool” would never be known by anyone again.

It was probably the best of both worlds.

However, his fingers were already wrapped around Bai Yu’s neck, and his nails had already cut into Bai Yu’s throat, causing crimson blood to seep out.

But Shi Yunyi’s hand froze.

His heart inexplicably trembled.

Humans were different from vampires. They were fragile, so fragile that a single movement of his finger could end their lives.

Vampires had strong vitality and weren’t afraid of injuries. They could even take out their hearts and still recover. They could regenerate even if their bodies were dismembered.

But if he treated humans like that, then this human would vanish completely from this world.

Never to return…

Shi Yunyi frowned. The memories from the time he was a “fool” hadn’t disappeared. They still lingered in his mind, one by one, replaying before his eyes…

He had never been an indecisive person, and he had killed countless people. But now, he hesitated.

At that moment, Mo Yun’s grating voice rang out again, “What’s the matter? Can’t you bring yourself to kill a mere human anymore, Shi Yunyi? When did you become so compassionate…”

With a “swish,” Mo Yun’s head separated from his body, falling to the ground.

And the crowd had already scattered, completely dispersing during the time Bai Yu had blocked Shi Yunyi.

There was no trace of them left.

“Look at how foolish you are,” Shi Yunyi said mockingly to Bai Yu. “You protected them, but not a single one stayed behind to protect you.”

“This is my affair…”

Bai Yu lowered his gaze, his face filled with a hint of desolation.

Compared to the arrogant and domineering Shi Yunyi before him, he still preferred the little fool who used to call him “Yuyu.” If he were still that little fool, he might have said something like, “I will definitely protect Yuyu”…

Bai Yu chuckled self-deprecatingly. Why did he think like this?

He knew better than anyone that the little fool would never return…

A sense of inexplicable loss overwhelmed him, and the desolation on his face was unmistakable.

Shi Yunyi looked at Bai Yu’s crestfallen expression and, for some reason, his heart constricted with pain.

It had been a long time since he felt this way…

With endless lifespans for both himself and those around him, Shi Yunyi had become numb to everything in this world. He had even believed that he no longer possessed emotions…

But now, as he looked at the person before him, his heart unexpectedly ached.

He was developing such feelings for an insignificant human.

Truly, it was ridiculous…
