Five days later.
Lin Qinghe received a message from the Elder Council. The异种血族 (yì zhǒng xuè zú - mutated vampire) that devoured bloodlines had been found. It was being kept by a pure-blooded vampire who had colluded with the beastmen to research it, intending to use the mutated vampire to enhance his own strength.
The Elder Council asked Lin Qinghe how she wanted to handle it. Without hesitation, Lin Qinghe ordered the pure-blooded vampire to be burned at the stake, turning him and the mutated vampire he created into ashes. This served as a warning to any vampires secretly plotting ill intentions.
Zhang Yi followed Lin Qinghe out of the study. Lin Qinghe suddenly stopped. She saw You Rong sitting on the sofa in the living room.
As Zhang Yi had said, werewolf physiology was different, and their healing abilities were very strong. In just five days, You Rong's injuries from the Emperor Hotel had completely healed.
Lin Qinghe's eyes flickered. Since You Rong's injuries had healed, the plan from before could begin.
Lin Qinghe turned back and asked Zhang Yi, "The item I asked you to have made a few days ago, is it ready and delivered?"
Zhang Yi's expression changed slightly. After a moment, he replied respectfully, "Ancestor, that item has been custom-made and delivered. It's in your study. I'll go get it for you now."
Lin Qinghe: "Good, go get it."
Zhang Yi turned back into the study and emerged again, holding a delicate box. He brought it to Lin Qinghe and opened it. Inside lay an exquisite handgun.
Lin Qinghe picked it up, checked it, released the safety, loaded the magazine, and examined it carefully. A satisfied expression appeared on her face.
This gun was specially made, and the bullets were silver. If a vampire were shot with this gun, they would be injured and unable to heal quickly. If shot in the heart, they could be killed instantly.
Lin Qinghe smiled and said, "I'll give this to You Rong. He should like it..."
Hearing this, Zhang Yi hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping himself. Finally, he couldn't help but express his worry, "Ancestor, I think you should reconsider giving this gun to the young master. After all, the young master is a werewolf, and his family was all killed by vampires. If he uses this gun against you, I... I'm afraid you'll get hurt."
Lin Qinghe was unfazed. "He won't."
"But..."
"Enough. I know what I'm doing. You don't need to worry," Lin Qinghe interrupted Zhang Yi. "Did you prepare the training room I instructed you to get ready?"
Zhang Yi's brows furrowed, his expression worried, but he couldn't say more. He could only reply, "Yes, I've had the training room renovated. It's in the underground garage. Ancestor can inspect it personally. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, I'll have someone change it."
Lin Qinghe nodded. "I see. Then you go about your business. I'm going down to find You Rong."
Zhang Yi watched Lin Qinghe's retreating figure, his worry undiminished.
He still felt that the Ancestor was... perhaps too good to the young master.
Downstairs.
Lin Qinghe leaned in and patted You Rong's shoulder with a smile. Seeing him lift his head with a cold expression and glare at her, she wasn't bothered. She continued with a smile, "What are you thinking about?" Sudan Novel Network.
You Rong remained silent, clearly unwilling to engage with Lin Qinghe.
Seeing this, Lin Qinghe directly took his hand and led him towards the elevator. "Your injuries have completely healed. Let's go, I'll take you to play something fun."
You Rong frowned, trying to pull his hand away. "I'm not going!"
"Don't be like that. You'll know how much fun it is once you go!"
You Rong was furious. "I said I'm not going!"
Unfortunately, You Rong's strength was no match for Lin Qinghe's, and he was pulled into the elevator. The elevator descended to the basement. After exiting the elevator, Lin Qinghe, without explanation, dragged him to a spacious shooting range.
You Rong was pushed into the room by Lin Qinghe. After taking in the layout, he looked at Lin Qinghe with confusion.
A faint smile played on Lin Qinghe's delicate face. She took out the handgun from earlier, took You Rong's hand, and placed it in his palm.
"This is a custom-made handgun. The bullets are silver, very lethal to vampires. If it hits a vampire's body, their wounds won't heal for a short time. If it hits their heart, it can kill them instantly!"
You Rong was stunned for a moment, looking at Lin Qinghe with confusion, seemingly not understanding why she would give him a gun that could deal with vampires.
Lin Qinghe stood behind You Rong, covering his hand, guiding him to grip the gun, aiming it at the human-shaped target in the training room. She whispered in his ear, "Watch carefully, aim for the heart... Shoot!"
With a "bang," the bullet hit the target's heart.
The gunshot didn't bring You Rong back to his senses. He looked up at Lin Qinghe, his expression still bewildered.
Lin Qinghe reached out and stroked his head, smiling but with a hint of ruthlessness. "Practice your shooting well. Protect yourself in the future. If any other vampires foolishly try to mess with you, don't hesitate, kill them!"
In an instant, the gun in You Rong's hand felt heavy, and his heart was shaken.
She personally handed him a weapon that was devastating to vampires. Did she trust him that much? Wasn't she afraid he would take the opportunity to... attack her?
While You Rong's thoughts were complex, Lin Qinghe pushed his shoulder and said, "Hurry up and practice your shooting. I won't teach you too many times. Besides shooting, I've also prepared silver daggers, long swords, and more for you. You need to learn close-quarters combat too, not a single skill can be neglected!"
You Rong lowered his eyes, hiding his thoughts. Lin Qinghe couldn't see what he was thinking. She only saw him slowly tighten his grip on the handgun, raise it towards the target, and pull the trigger. With a "bang," the bullet hit the human-shaped target's arm. It was still quite far from the heart, but for You Rong, who had hit the target on his first try with a gun, it was already quite difficult.
Lin Qinghe narrowed her eyes slightly, watching You Rong train with satisfaction, occasionally correcting his posture and teaching him shooting techniques.
Seeing You Rong's rapid progress, and thinking of his future ability to protect himself against vampires, Lin Qinghe secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, looking at You Rong's young and somewhat awkward appearance, Lin Qinghe thought of the task's progress bar and couldn't help but sigh.
Oh well, You Rong is still a minor. She really couldn't bring herself to do it... It seemed the mission in this world couldn't be rushed. She'd focus on building a strong foundation with You Rong first. It wouldn't be too late to make her move once he came of age.
Meanwhile.
The Elder Council.
In Mu Shaoqing's office, with a creak, someone pushed the door open and entered. This person was the second elder, Shang He.
Shang He walked to Mu Shaoqing and stopped, his face grim, his tone filled with dissatisfaction. "I told you to be careful with the mutated vampire matter. Wait until the experiment is mature before releasing it. You were too hasty! This time, we were lucky to have someone else to take the blame. The Ancestor didn't find out about us. If she had... we would be doomed!"
