"But...but...vampires are ultimately demons..."
Yang's father shook his head: "What demon? Vampires are human too. Lingxi has always been working hard for vampires to achieve equal status. If you think that way yourself, aren't you going against her?"
Yang Lingxi, who was standing to the side, stuck out her tongue.
Yang's father said, "That's why you can't expect others to get rid of their prejudices if you yourself are prejudiced against vampires. At least here, we don't look down on you, Xiao Ye."
Ye Liuli stared blankly for a moment, then nodded gently.
"I-I understand."
Mr. Yang laughed heartily: "You'd better understand, Xiao Ye."
He pulled his daughter, Lingxi, who was standing beside him.
"Whether you are vampires or not, you will always be our juniors."
"Even if you live for hundreds or thousands of years, until the Earth is destroyed, it has nothing to do with us old men, because we never lived as long as you young people. So what if you live for thousands more years?"
"The beauty of life lies in its balance of gains and losses. There are ways to live a long life and ways to live a short life."
Yang's father looked at Ludwig and the others.
"A human life, though only a few decades long, can be both magnificent and fulfilling. My wife and I once had the ambition to seek the truth, but that's all in the past. Now, we plan to retire in this small town. As long as my dear daughter and you, her friends, can come back to visit often in our lifetime, that will be enough for us."
He laughed heartily.
“We used to worry about that, but at least now we will never have the day when parents outlive their children.”
Lingxi scolded, "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about!"
“It’s nothing, hahaha—” Yang’s father laughed.
...
"Wait, allow me to interrupt."
Lingxi raised her hand and said.
Unbeknownst to her, she already held her true form, the Holy Grail, in her hand.
"Come on, everyone, have a little bit."
She poured a little of the Holy Grail's crimson liquid into each vampire girl's cup.
"what is this?"
Ludwig picked it up and shook it; its viscosity didn't look like blood.
Lingxi feigned shyness and said, "This is someone else's bodily fluid, you know."
Ludwig sighed, "Hey!"
Lingxi said seriously, "It really is! Why would I lie to you? The liquid created by the Holy Grail is mine..."
"Alright, alright, I'm asking what this is for, okay!"
"Of course, it would be possible to grant a small wish. For example, to temporarily allow the vampire girls present tonight to eat human food."
"Hmph, since you wouldn't lie to your parents, I'll believe you this once."
"Gulu."
...
It turns out it really works!
Thus, the vampire girls were able to spend a warm New Year's Eve, which was their first New Year's Eve dinner as vampires.
But Ludwig would soon regret not asking if the unknown liquid had any side effects.
So, she later insisted that one should never completely believe the blond-haired man's nonsense.
Chapter 83 Four Female Ghosts Make a Show
Have a safe trip and take good care of yourself.
Yang's mother straightened Lingxi's collar and smoothed the golden hair draped over her ears.
"Such beautiful blonde hair, she really has the looks of Mom when she was young. But, my dear daughter, are you going to...?"
Lingxi smiled: "It's a secret. Okay, Mom, let's go."
...
After having their New Year's Eve dinner, the girls headed to their true destination—the Ye family.
Ye Liuli stood in front of her house, already having made up her mind.
The confusion and fear that had been there before were no longer visible on her face; instead, there was a firm determination.
She shed her disguise, revealing her true vampire form, and mustered the courage to step into her long-lost home.
The three girls outside the door chose to leave her alone with her family.
After saying goodbye to Ye Liuli outside the door, they were dragged along by Ludwig to go shopping in the nearby shopping street.
"Hehe, it seems that the mediation was actually completed when I left my house."
Lingxi chewed on the popcorn she bought at the movie theater, looking quite happy.
"Little cutie, that's a good idea. I thought mediators only ever caused vampires to break with humans."
Ludwig sipped the flavored blood drink in her glass, gave a soft hum, and remained noncommittal about her words.
"The so-called 'mediation' is of course 'mediation of conflicts.' For Her Majesty to make such a judgment without understanding the situation is very disrespectful to the profession."
"What princess? In public, you should call me Lingxi. Or, I wouldn't mind if you called me 'Sister Lacey' either?"
"Pfft—what Lacey?"
"It's the pronunciation of some language of 'Lingxi'. If we're going to disguise our identities, we should do it thoroughly."
Ludwig was speechless: "You weirdo, what are you thinking about all day?"
Lingxi pulled out a stack of small notebooks and smiled slyly.
"I don't have any particular purpose. When traveling, you need an identity that won't arouse suspicion, after all, being the 'Princess of Lingxi' has many inconveniences. Look, I've even prepared the necessary documents. Do you want to see them?"
Ludwig gave up: "Whatever makes you happy, I won't ask anymore, okay?"
...
Suddenly, Ruo Keke interrupted the two of them.
"His Majesty."
"Do not call me Your Majesty when we are outside."
"Okay, okay, Miss Lingxi!"
Coco quickly replied.
"Now that the young lady has completed your request, does that mean she is qualified to meet the Vampire Queen and mediate on Her Majesty's behalf?"
Lingxi nodded: "That's right. I will arrange this later. As for the little cutie's background, we will have to make a further decision after we meet my little Xili."
The blonde girl looked at Ludwig.
"Because your background doesn't seem to be simple, it's better to be cautious."
If Coco hesitated for a few seconds, she would ask:
"Miss Lingxi, then as Her Highness the Princess's maid..."
Lingxi smiled: "Why not just stay with her?"
Coco was overjoyed: "Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty!"
The brown-haired maid hugged Ludwig happily.
"That's wonderful, Miss!"
Ludwig choked: "Ugh...drink, drink...!"
Lingxi sighed: "You little maid, I told you not to call me Your Majesty."
...
...
And so, the three chatted idly by a bench in the shopping street. Not long after, a familiar figure finally arrived.
"Hi."
Ye Liuli bent down and stood to the side, smiling and waving to them.
Lingxi waved: "Xiao Li, you're back?"
At this moment, a long-lost smile appeared on the black-haired girl's face.
"Yes, I've had a good reconnection with my parents. They told me to go ahead and do what I want, and live freely. Although my dad is still a little angry, he doesn't object to me living my own life."
Lingxi chuckled: "Then Xiaoli, your contact list should also be...?"
Ye Liuli smiled and said, "Let's take it one step at a time."
...
pop-
Ludwig clapped her hands: "Hey, hey, excuse me, excuse me."
She stood next to Ye Liuli with her hands on her hips.
"W-What's wrong, Princess?" Ye Liuli asked.
Ludwig coughed and stared at her for a moment before shifting her gaze to Lingxi, where they met eyes.
"Hey, you two, this mediation engagement isn't over yet. The final step is for the mediator to collect the commission. Only after successfully collecting it is the engagement considered successfully concluded."
Ye Liuli tilted her head: "I'm the client... So, Your Highness, what kind of reward do you want?"
Ludwig was just waiting for her to say that.
The silver-haired girl smiled wickedly, finally able to turn the tables on them.
...
...
...
"Ugh...woo...mmm..."
"Please...be gentle...oops!"
Ye Liuli's face flushed red, but she was helpless.
Now, she could only let the silver-haired vampire girl hold her tightly, feasting on her neck.
"hiss..."
Blood flowed down the silver-haired girl's lips, down Ye Liuli's pale neck, and into the depths of her collarbone.
"As expected of a high-ranking vampire directly embraced by the Queen, such sweet and mellow blood... what a feast for the senses."
She lightly licked the corner of her lips.
"No wonder the Vampire Queen passed a law prohibiting cannibalism among vampires, aha☆"
The "nun" standing to the side couldn't help but twitch her delicate eyebrows three times.
"You, you... my little darling... even I, a prince, haven't tasted her... how dare you—"
She was clearly very angry.
"You know this is the law of the vampire clan, yet you knowingly violate it. What should your punishment be...?"
...
"Huh? I didn't break any rules, did I?"
Ludwig released her and looked at her with a smile.
“Miss blonde, I’m simply fulfilling my normal obligation to receive payment. The law allows mediators to accept anything the other party can offer as payment. Obviously, a little bit of fine blood is undoubtedly in line with industry standards and the law, isn’t it?”
Lingxi stamped her foot: "Don't think that this prince can't..."
