Chapter 1218: The Vampire Prince’s Blood Slave (96)

Proofreader/editor: Mew

The syringe filled with black liquid stopped, just short of touching him.

But she dawdled, not daring to inject it.

Arthur felt a strange emotion surge in his heart, akin to an unexpected helplessness.

But more than that, there was soft heartedness to her pitiful crying.

【Ding! Male lead’s favorability: 70.】

The favorability level that had plummeted began to rise back up.

Leaning against her body, Arthur suddenly perceived that she was pushing him away bit by bit.

He powerlessly laid there on the red carpet.

But Bai Weiwei’s black fluid was not injected into his body.

If she were a rebel, how could she let go of such an excellent opportunity?

She may not have this chance to destroy him next time.

And once he recovered and took revenge, it was impossible for her not to know what her end would be.

He strenuously looked up, imprinting Bai Weiwei’s pale face in his scarlet eyes.

She stared blankly at him, clutching the syringe.

Suddenly she smiled, a grin filled with unspeakable fragility and suffering. “We are enemies, Arthur. Humans and vampires can’t coexist. I’ve wanted to join the rebels for a long time now, because I don’t want to be a pet, or prey. I want to be a person with dignity.

“Do you know what it’s like to have a nightmare? I’ll never forget how my parents were killed right in front of me, while I could only cover my mouth and hide under the bed.”

She bowed her head in pain, her bangs covering her misty eyes.

“Even if you bring the culprits to let me take revenge, I’ll never be able to leave the shadow of that time for the rest of my life.”

Bai Weiwei laughed bitterly. “I don’t want to become a vampire. I don’t want to become a monster that can only live by feeding on the blood of my own kind.”

When she uttered the word “monster,” she finally lifted her head. Her eyes were calm and determined.

Like a bird rushing out from its cage, filled with hope for freedom.

Every word she spoke was firm. “I will always stand on the side of humans. It has nothing to do with hatred. I just want my future children to be able to live under the sun without fear of being attacked by predators.”

She smiled faintly.

Her smile was both relieved and gentle, bathing her entire body in a stream of light, warming people’s hearts.

Arthur was lost for words, his gaze never leaving her face.

He had never seen this side of her before.

It was no longer the pitiful resistance, nor the fear from that time she was held captive.

As though his little blood slave had grown up overnight. She had broken free of the chains that bound her and prepared to take flight into a wider sky.

Casting her former master away.

She clearly wanted to abandon him, yet he felt that she was damnably dazzling.

【Ding! Male lead’s favorability: 80.】

Bai Weiwei turned around. “I’m leaving. This place is going to blow up in five minutes. By then, the anesthesia in your body won’t have worn off. You’ll die here.”

Her words contradicted her calm pretense.

He could hear the painful quivering.

Dark emotions overflowed from Arthur’s half-closed, scarlet eyes. His silver hair shrouded half his face.

He looked both exquisite and bewitchingly sinister.

He used all his strength to form words with his numbed tongue.

“Needle… why… not kill…”

She clearly had an injection that could force him into an eternal slumber. Why didn’t she use it on him?

If she was truly doing it for humans, she should first eradicate him, the scourge of humanity.

Bai Weiwei understood what he wanted to ask.

She stood by the door, her back straight. Under the light, her back looked even more vulnerable, wrapped in desolate sorrow.

Finally, she murmured in a low voice, “Because I can’t do it…"
