After a bout of dizziness, Lin Qinghe entered a new world. She opened her eyes and looked around at her surroundings.
The room was decorated in a European castle style, with exquisite chandeliers and luxurious furnishings. She was lying on a European-style bed, but the room was not lit by lamps or candles.
Strangely, the room was pitch black, yet Lin Qinghe could clearly see everything in the darkness.
Was this the original body's power?
Lin Qinghe's mind began to receive information from the system and memories of the original body.
The original body was the ancestor of the vampire race, the most noble existence among vampires. The four great vampire families and the elders of the vampire senate were all bound to obey her.
The original body had always been too lazy to fight for power and had never interfered with the four great families or the senate, choosing instead to remain in her castle.
You Rong was a werewolf. The werewolf race had been hunters for generations, their lifelong mission being to hunt down vampires who violated the covenant. Therefore, the hatred between werewolves and vampires was irreconcilable, a matter of life and death.
You Rong's father, one of the werewolf hunters, had hunted down Ouyang Chen, the second son of the Ouyang family, one of the four great vampire families. In retaliation, the Ouyang family had sought revenge, and You Rong's parents, as well as his siblings, were all brutally murdered by vampires. Only he remained and was offered by the Ouyang family to the original body's castle as her food.
The original body was attracted by the taste of You Rong's blood and kept him, feeding on his blood. You Rong, however, deeply hated all vampires and secretly vowed to kill every last one of them to avenge his family.
While enduring humiliation in the original body's castle and serving as her food, You Rong secretly gathered information about all the vampire strongholds and intelligence. By chance, he even rescued the daughter of the werewolf leader, who was the female protagonist, Meng Xiaoyi.
Through Meng Xiaoyi, You Rong contacted the werewolf leader. Not only that, but he also allied with several major beastman families. Using the vampire information he had collected, he launched a swift attack on the vampire strongholds and discovered the method to kill the original body, ultimately annihilating the vampire race.
You Rong was greatly honored for annihilating the vampire race and established the Beastman Alliance, becoming its leader. During the extermination of the vampires, You Rong and Meng Xiaoyi fell in love. You Rong eventually married Meng Xiaoyi, and together they managed the Beastman Alliance, living a happy life.
After receiving the information, Lin Qinghe felt a throbbing pain in her forehead.
The original body in this world was somewhat innocent. At most, she was negligent in her duty and failed to manage the four great families, indirectly causing You Rong's family to be nearly wiped out.
However, the original body, a vampire ancestor who had lived for tens of thousands of years, had long lost interest in all people and matters, so she couldn't be blamed for her laziness and lack of governance over the vampire race.
Lin Qinghe got out of the luxurious European-style bed and walked to a mirror, appraising her reflection.
Vampires, or bloodsuckers, survived by feeding on the blood of others. They disliked sunlight, possessed outstanding beauty, and exuded an aura of sinister charm with every movement.
Lin Qinghe poked her teeth with her hand and discovered that her two sharp canines could retract at will. Her face in the mirror had not changed much. She was wearing a black, form-fitting dress, her skin as white as snow. A single tear mole under her eye and lips as red as fresh blood made her look captivatingly, devilishly beautiful.
Lin Qinghe organized the original body's memories and secretly rejoiced that she was the vampire ancestor, not a lesser vampire who couldn't tolerate sunlight and was unable to resist the craving for blood. At most, she disliked light, and her thirst for blood could be suppressed.
Lin Qinghe frowned and considered the timeline. From the original body's memories, she recalled that people from the Ouyang family were supposed to report that morning that their second son had been killed and they were going to seek revenge on the hunter family.
The original body had paid no mind, letting it go in one ear and out the other.
Now, Lin Qinghe realized that the hunter they mentioned was likely You Rong's father.
She wondered if the Ouyang family had already taken action. Was it too late for her to stop them?
Lin Qinghe left the room and went downstairs, where she encountered a servant of the castle. The servant placed his hand on his chest and bowed, saying, "Ancestor."
Lin Qinghe nodded and asked with slightly parted red lips, "The Ouyang family head said today that he was going to seek revenge on that werewolf hunter. Where is that person's home?"
The servant was taken aback. After recovering his senses, he quickly replied, "Replying to the Ancestor, the Ouyang family head has taken his people to District A."
Lin Qinghe's brow furrowed, and she immediately used her mental powers to teleport to City A.
She hoped she was still in time to prevent the Ouyang family from retaliating against You Rong's family.
Lin Qinghe vanished. The servant looked bewildered.
The Ancestor had always remained indifferent to the affairs of the four great vampire families and the senate. Why was she asking about the Ouyang family just now? And it seemed she was going to City A. Was she going to help the Ouyang family get revenge?
---
In District A, inside a two-story house, dozens of vampires were gathered. Leading them was Ouyang Feng, the head of the Ouyang family, one of the four great vampire families.
Surrounded with no escape was a family of five – You Rong's family.
You Zheng, You Rong's father, glared at Ouyang Feng. "You... let my wife and children go. I will repay your son's life with my own!"
Ouyang Feng gave a sinister laugh. "Compensation? Your life is worthless. How can it possibly compensate for my son's life?!"
"Cough... cough..." You Zheng clutched his wounded chest, his anger intensifying. "If Ouyang Chen hadn't harmed humans, I wouldn't have killed him! Don't forget, we werewolves and you vampires have a covenant. We cannot kill vampires who have not harmed anyone, and you cannot attack hunters who have killed vampires violating the treaty!"
Ouyang Feng sneered dismissively. "How many years has this broken treaty been in place? Yet some still take it seriously... Hmph! Today, I will kill your entire family to avenge my son. Let's see who can do anything to me?!"
Ouyang Feng said without mercy, "Attack!"
As soon as he spoke, the vampires behind him lunged forward. Several vampires grabbed You Rong's mother and bit her alive, relishing her blood.
Then, they turned their attention to You Rong's younger brother and sister. You Rong, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, struggled madly against the vampire who had tackled him. He watched helplessly as vampires killed his younger siblings. He cried out, "Let go! I'll kill you! Let me go!"
"You Rong!" You Zheng's heart tightened. The gun in his hand changed direction and hit the vampire pouncing on You Rong, saving him from the vampire's clutches. However, due to his distraction, Ouyang Feng flashed in front of You Zheng and plunged his hand directly through You Zheng's chest, a sinister smile on his face as he tore out You Zheng's heart with his bare hands.
You Rong's eyes widened in fury. "Father!"
You Zheng managed to look down at his own body, a gaping hole in his chest. He then looked at You Rong before collapsing to the ground with a thud, his life extinguished. The other vampires immediately swarmed him and devoured You Zheng.
You Rong roared. His young, immature face was filled with hatred and rage, his eyes bloodshot. Due to his anger, the characteristics of a werewolf began to appear – ears sprouted on his head, and sharp fangs grew. "You... I will kill you! I will kill all of you!"
Kill them!
I will kill all of them! To avenge Mom, Dad, and my siblings!
You Rong suddenly leaped from the ground and charged at Ouyang Feng like a madman. But as a boy, he was still too weak. With a casual wave of Ouyang Feng's hand, he was slammed heavily back to the ground, unable to even crawl.
Ouyang Feng slowly ate the heart in his hand and narrowed his eyes as he surveyed You Rong. He sniffed the scent of You Rong's blood, which was flowing from his wounds, and his throat involuntarily bobbed.
"This little wolf cub's blood smells delicious. Don't kill him yet. If we capture him and take him back, perhaps the elders of the senate would enjoy him."
You Rong lay on the ground, his body wracked with pain almost to the point of convulsions. He stared intently at Ouyang Feng, his eyes burning with murderous intent.
Ouyang Feng waved his hand, signaling his followers to grab You Rong. Unexpectedly, a gust of wind blew, and all the vampires' expressions changed drastically. They all fell to their knees uncontrollably, their faces contorted as if in immense pain.
Ouyang Feng fared slightly better, but his complexion also changed. He struggled to remain standing and then watched as a figure with an overwhelming aura approached.
That figure was Lin Qinghe.
