TL: Moonlit
The high priest had fought against vampires his entire life, and he thought he would no longer fear them.
But at this moment, as he looked at the vampire in front of him, he was completely dumbfounded.
This vampire could actually deflect the bullet he had shot…
How was this possible?
His legs were so weak that he almost fell to the ground. Blood continued to flow from his shoulder, causing him excruciating pain. He looked disheveled and miserable.
The high priest’s eyes were wide open in disbelief.
He racked his brain, trying to figure out how the vampire had done it.
As far as he knew, vampires had strong bodies, but they couldn’t do something like this. Could a bullet really bounce off their bodies?
It was impossible!
The high priest couldn’t believe what he was witnessing. He couldn’t even see what the vampire had done.
Although the scene before him was bizarre and inexplicable, the high priest remained firm in his judgment.
Even though he was afraid, he believed that the vampire must have carried some kind of weapon on him to achieve this.
However, he didn’t know that Shi Yunyi, in fact, had no weapon on him… not even the bullet was deflected.
It was just an illusion that the high priest’s eyes could perceive.
In reality, Shi Yunyi caught the bullet with his hand and then threw it back!
But his speed was so fast that no one at the scene could notice.
For a vampire of Shi Yunyi’s level, a bullet couldn’t even cause him any harm!
Even if he didn’t catch it with his hand, the bullet wouldn’t have been able to hurt him at all.
He had acted out of anger and urgency when he arrived because, although the bullet couldn’t harm him, it could have taken Bai Yu’s life in an instant.
Shi Yunyi was still in shock, his heart racing. His eyes remained fixed on Bai Yu.
Bai Yu had lost a lot of weight compared to three days ago. His face was pale, and he seemed emotionally drained.
Shi Yunyi felt a deep sense of relief and gratitude that he had arrived in time.
Otherwise, he would have lost him…
Shi Yunyi, a typically cold and indifferent person, had never felt such joy from someone being alive.
He rushed forward and hugged Bai Yu tightly, feeling his soft body and warm temperature.
It was as if during the time when he was mentally absent, he would repeatedly hold Bai Yu in his arms…
During these days, Shi Yunyi had left this place and returned to his castle.
Although he possessed supreme authority and had many people in the castle…
His heart had always been empty.
He didn’t know what he was missing.
After all, he had lived like this for thousands of years… He thought he had already become accustomed to it…
But he felt a different kind of emptiness this time.
It was as if something very important was missing from his life…
He had tried to find different things to occupy himself.
But it was all in vain.
The emptiness didn’t decrease; instead, it grew stronger…
Until this moment, when he held Bai Yu in his arms…
In an instant, that emptiness seemed to disappear.
In its place was a deep sense of contentment.
So, this person was what he had been longing for?
Shi Yunyi lightly curled his lips, feeling the overflowing joy in his heart.
Just then, Xiao Mihu’s voice sounded in Bai Yu’s ear.
[Ding, target’s affinity +10.]
[Ding, target’s affinity +10.]
[Ding, target’s affinity +10.]
[Ding, target’s affinity +10.]
[Ding, target’s affinity +10.]
[Ding, target’s affinity +10.]
[Host, due to the previous affinity being -30%, the current target’s affinity has increased to 30%.]
Xiao Mihu suddenly became excited.
After all, a 60-point increase in affinity at once was absolutely terrifying!
[Host, you’re amazing!]
Bai Yu was a bit bewildered by the sudden turn of events.
What did he do well?
He didn’t do anything at all.
He’s just standing here…
And he’s all dirty himself. How did Shi Yunyi’s affinity suddenly increase by sixty points?
But this person has always been fickle.
Even if the affinity increased by 60 points in an instant, Bai Yu doesn’t feel anything.
Because it had already reached 70% before and he dropped it to -30% all at once.
Who knows when he will drop again?
And now he’s in this state, all thanks to this big idiot.
Thinking of his arrogant look when he left, Bai Yu’s anger flared up.
Now he wants to come back?
He might as well not come back!

At this moment, Shi Yunyi was looking at Bai Yu excitedly. He vigorously flapped his wings, and with a strong stroke, the fire beneath Bai Yu’s feet was instantly extinguished.
He forcefully pulled the iron chain in Bai Yu’s hand, crushing it like squeezing foam, turning it into powder.
Then, he excitedly lifted Bai Yu horizontally.
Bai Yu’s body was weak. He hadn’t eaten for many days, and now he was dizzy from hunger, unable to muster the strength to push Shi Yunyi away and leave on his own.
He could only let him do as he pleased.
Contrasting with the joy of saving Bai Yu, the rage in Shi Yunyi’s heart did not diminish at all.
He would never forget the scene just now.
Bai Yu, all alone and helpless, bound to the cross with so many blazing flames beneath his feet, burning fiercely.
The flames soared, and smoke filled the air.
But that wasn’t enough. These people still wanted to shoot him!
The fear of almost losing him hadn’t disappeared from Shi Yunyi’s heart even now.
He couldn’t even imagine how he would react if he had arrived here and saw Bai Yu’s lifeless body.
Would he be consumed by unbearable pain?
At this moment, he held Bai Yu in his arms, holding him tightly.
In just a few days, Bai Yu had become much thinner…
Shi Yunyi’s heart was filled with hatred!
Uncontrollable anger surged from his psyche.
His originally ice-blue eyes suddenly turned a bewitching blood-red in an instant.
His silver long hair fluttered in the wind, and his black wings were fully spread out.
An extremely terrifying aura enveloped the area. It was suffocating for everyone present.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding people were all shocked and pale!
“High Priest, what should we do? This vampire has saved Bai Yu! Will he kill us… considering how we treated Bai Yu earlier…”
“High Priest, this vampire is too terrifying. Shouldn’t we try to reason with him and ask him to spare us…”
Hearing such words, the High Priest’s face turned green with anger.
“What nonsense are you talking about? How can we bow down to a vampire!”
The High Priest endured the pain and quickly took out the cross filled with spiritual power from his sleeve.
“Everyone, surround them! I will personally deal with this vampire and the shameless traitor! Let them witness my power.”
Although the High Priest looked extremely disheveled and desperate, his words were strong, and he presented his cross.
It is rumored that the High Priest’s cross is the bane of all vampires.
At this moment, everyone felt a sense of relief when they saw the High Priest taking out such a weapon, as if they had taken a reassuring pill.
As if gaining confidence in an instant.
The people in the town immediately surrounded Bai Yu and Shi Yunyi.
The High Priest tightly gripped the cross in his hand, continuously chanting spells.
This cross could generate a transparent net that would trap the vampire inside, gradually tightening until the vampire inside would burst and die.
A contemptuous smile appeared on the High Priest’s face.
This damned vampire, this time, he wanted to see if he could continue his arrogance.
However, after chanting the spell several times, Shi Yunyi showed no signs of pain on his face.
He looked at the High Priest expressionlessly, slowly approaching him step by step.
How was this possible?
The High Priest’s expression instantly turned extremely ugly.
He looked at Shi Yunyi and then at the cross in his hand.
There shouldn’t be anything wrong with the cross. Why wasn’t it effective?
Shi Yunyi looked at the High Priest with a hint of amusement. “Did you think this kind of trash could hurt me?”
He lightly raised his finger and coldly gazed at the person in front of him.
Suddenly, the cross in the High Priest’s hand flew towards him as if it was being magnetically attracted to his hand.
The High Priest was stunned.
Shi Yunyi had actually snatched away his own cross!
However, the High Priest did not feel fear. Instead, he began to rejoice.
This foolish vampire was simply seeking death!
His cross was made of pure silver and infused with the spiritual power of his ancestors.
For a vampire, such a material was like deadly poison.
Now that Shi Yunyi had taken the cross and held it in his hand, he would lose half of his life even if he didn’t die!
The High Priest covered his bleeding shoulder and stared at the person in front of him with madness.
He seemed to envision Shi Yunyi being corroded to death by the cross.
The High Priest shouted at Shi Yunyi, “Go to hell!”
However, the next scene shocked him as if he had been struck by lightning.
He was completely dumbfounded.
Not only was Shi Yunyi not corroded by the cross, he easily held it in his hand, playing with it.
A slight smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Shi Yunyi extended his hand and gently squeezed.
The cross instantly turned into powder…
The silver powder dispersed in the gentle breeze, carried away by the wind…
Shi Yunyi looked at him coldly, his eyes filled with contempt.
“This was your reliance? It’s gone now.”
After finishing his words, Shi Yunyi frightened the High Priest, who started trembling while speaking.
“Who… Who are you? How could you not fear my cross?”
Shi Yunyi tapped his own hand with disdain. “How could this kind of junk harm me? I am the Blood Emperor among vampires!”
“Blood… Emperor!”
The High Priest’s legs went weak, and he knelt down in front of Shi Yunyi.
He had thought he was dealing with an ordinary vampire today.
But he didn’t expect that the person before him was the king among vampires.
The legendary unbeatable existence…
How could he possibly defeat such a vampire? It was simply overestimating his abilities!
Shi Yunyi raised his head high. “You dared to lay a hand on me earlier, now it’s my turn, isn’t it?”
“No! I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die yet!”
The High Priest quickly knelt in front of Shi Yunyi, moving in his direction.
But he didn’t plead with Shi Yunyi; instead, he began to plead with Bai Yu.
Because he knew that vampires were ruthless and emotionless, and it would be useless to beg Shi Yunyi.
“Bai Yu… You see, you are also a member of our town. You can’t let him kill innocent people like this, right? You said before that you would protect us, so now you have to fulfill your promise!”
