Chapter 283- Gloomy Blood Servant vs. Obsessive Vampire Prince (16)
Thinking of this, Huangfu Yu reached out and gently stroked Mu Jin’s cheek. He lowered his head and kissed his lover’s bright red lips, softly saying, “Xiao Jin, let me become your kind.”
Hearing Huangfu Yu’s words, Mu Jin’s tightly closed eyes suddenly opened. He stared blankly at the man in front of him, seeing the emotions in his lover’s eyes and could roughly guess what Huangfu Yu was thinking.
If it were according to the past, Mu Jin would naturally be willing to let his lover become a vampire so they could be together for a longer time. However, now he found himself hesitating.
No matter how beautiful and powerful being a vampire sounded, in reality, it was just like what many people thought: it was a cursed race. This race fed on blood and was filled with fallen souls. The lower-level vampires could not bear the sunlight and had many restrictions.
Their blood was always cold, and they even had much less sensitivity than humans. Even though Mu Jin was at the peak of the third generation, he could not avoid this outcome. When he first arrived in this world, he also experienced many discomforts with his body.
However, as long as he could be with the person he loved, Mu Jin felt that the physical discomforts could be overcome. Yet, he couldn’t bear for Huangfu Yu to end up like him.
Mu Jin tightly embraced his lover, feeling warmth in his heart at Huangfu Yu’s words. However, he still shook his head, refusing his request.
At the same time, Mu Jin began to search through the original owner’s memories, wanting to find a good way to be with his lover long-term without transforming him into a vampire. After all, his lover deserved the best of everything.
However, Huangfu Yu was unaware of Mu Jin’s thoughts. After being rejected, he felt as if someone had thrown a bucket of cold water on him.
He had genuinely fallen in love with this little guy in his arms and wanted to accompany him for a lifetime. But why wouldn’t Mu Jin accept him? Did he not love him? Did his feelings for Huangfu Yu not run as deep as his own?
A dull pain pulsed in his heart. They were already in the closest physical relationship, so why did Mu Jin refuse his companionship? Was it that all along, his feelings had been one-sided?
Huangfu Yu was suddenly flooded with many negative thoughts until Mu Jin lifted his head to kiss his chin, bringing him back to reality.
Seeing the worry in Mu Jin’s eyes, Huangfu Yu struggled to suppress the bitterness in his heart.
He thought about how Mu Jin was a long-lived vampire who had been alive for many years, having seen many people and many things. For someone like him, how could emotions be easily stirred?
It was already his good fortune that Mu Jin could see him and chose to keep him by his side. He recalled what others in the manor had said in the past—that he was someone who could have close contact with Mu Jin.
They shared the same space, and now had such an intimate relationship; no one had a better starting point than him. So as long as he worked hard, there would come a day when the person in his arms would surely fall in love with him.
Effortfully ignoring the sadness in his heart, Huangfu Yu cheered himself on. He then looked at Mu Jin with even more tenderness, cupping his face in his hands and planting countless kisses on his features.
Seeing the youth’s submissive demeanor, Huangfu Yu felt his heart soften. He thought perhaps he should not be too greedy; his beloved was right in his arms, and feelings would come in time. So, embracing tightly like this, he slowly drifted into sleep.
The next day, Huangfu Yu woke up very early. He felt pained that it was Mu Jin’s first time experiencing this, and even though his lover had a strong constitution, he still persuaded Mu Jin to rest for a day in the manor.
Just then, Mu Jin recalled something that needed urgent attention. The intimacy from last night had somewhat calmed his heart, so he reluctantly agreed to stay with Huangfu Yu but still insisted that he must not work overtime at the company and should return to his side early.
Seeing the reluctance in Mu Jin’s eyes, Huangfu Yu felt a mix of sweetness and warmth in his heart. The person he loved was so sweet, and he certainly wished to be by his side every moment.
After waking up in the morning, the two of them indulged in each other for a while. Huangfu Yu, having completely let go after last night, pressed down on Mu Jin and kissed him enough to his heart’s content before getting up to leave the manor.
He planned to finish the work regarding the Malkavianclan as quickly as possible and then go find Wei Ruihan to discuss the new company.
Once Huangfu Yu left, Mu Jin immediately sought out Wallis. He had searched the original owner’s memories for a long time the previous night, trying to find a way to extend his lover’s lifespan without him turning into a vampire.
After a night of contemplation, he thought of a legendary artifact within the vampire community: the Holy Pact.
The Holy Pact, fully named the Sacred Contract, allows humans and vampires to share life, and the contracted human will not become a vampire. However, the conditions of the Holy Pact are extremely harsh, and it poses certain dangers to the one who performs the ritual.
Vampires have infinite lifespans, but once bound by the Holy Pact, although they can share life with humans, their own lifespan will significantly shorten. Their powers will also weaken considerably, being transferred to the human.
Conversely, humans will gain most of the vampire’s strength due to the bond created by the Holy Pact without having to pay any price.
It can be said that the contract established by the Holy Pact involves only the vampire’s giving and sacrificing.
It is said that many years ago, a vampire prince who fell in love with a human girl created this pact to ensure that his beloved would not be burdened by their bloodthirsty curse.
Afterward, he lived with his partner for several hundred years before they both passed away. Compared to eternal life, their days together were indeed very short, but it is said that both were very happy and content.
However, after that, the Holy Pact disappeared without a trace, or even if it hadn’t vanished, it had become an ignored existence.
After all, most vampires have such long lifespans that it becomes difficult for them to believe in true love, and who would genuinely be willing to sacrifice everything for another person?
However, it is evident that Mu Jin is such a person; he does not need to stay in the small world for too long. Being able to share life with his lover while also allowing the other to gain strength is the best choice for Mu Jin.
When Wallis heard that Mu Jin wanted him to seek out the Holy Pact, his expression was no longer just one of shock. He understood what it would mean for Mu Jin if he were to use the Holy Pact.
Thus, even though he almost never contradicted his master’s words, this time he couldn’t help but advise Mu Jin: “Master, transforming Huangfu Yu into a vampire is also a very good option. Then he would have endless life, and you could be together for much longer.”
Mu Jin, however, shook his head at Wallis’s words. He didn’t explain much to him but looked at him firmly, telling him to help find the location of the Holy Pact.
Seeing Mu Jin’s attitude so resolute, Wallis realized that he couldn’t shake his thoughts. With a resigned sigh in his heart, he saluted Mu Jin and left.
Watching Wallis’s retreating figure, Mu Jin thought of how rare it was for him to show such a lackluster demeanor. For some reason, he suddenly recalled Lin Yuan from his past life.
Although Wallis and Lin Yuan looked completely different and had different temperaments, the expression Wallis had just shown made Mu Jin overlap the two in his memory. However, this thought was fleeting and did not linger long in Mu Jin’s mind.
Mu Jin specifically instructed Wallis that the search for the Holy Pact should be conducted in secret. After all, they also needed to guard against other vampire clans. If they discovered that Mu Jin wanted to use the Holy Pact, it might give rise to some other thoughts.
Moreover, the Holy Pact has been missing for many years, and whether it can be found remains uncertain.
This is also why Mu Jin did not tell Huangfu Yu, as he feared that if he mentioned it and they couldn’t find it, it would only lead to disappointment.
He just hoped that Wallis would find the Holy Pact soon to surprise his lover.
In the following days, Huangfu Yu managed the affairs of the Malkavian clan while beginning to establish his own business. Mu Jin remained by Huangfu Yu’s side the entire time.
After they were completely together, they were even sweeter than before. Once Huangfu Yu understood his feelings, he naturally became even more tender towards Mu Jin. He could only hope that Mu Jin would quickly fall in love with him, becoming a dutiful and loving partner.
Unfortunately, since Mu Jin could only feed on blood, Huangfu Yu even considered whether he should practice cooking. After all, there’s a saying that to capture someone’s heart, one must first capture their stomach.
Fortunately, his blood was still able to satisfy Mu Jin’s appetite, which relieved Huangfu Yu of some regret in this aspect.
As for Wei Ruihan, he initially felt nauseated watching the daily interactions between Huangfu Yu and Mu Jin, but now he could completely ignore the two’s seemingly inseparable state.
Although he still felt indignant about their daily displays of affection, considering that neither of the two was someone he could provoke, Wei Ruihan had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, feeling bitter inside.
He even had to glance at his brother with a hint of resentment from time to time, worrying that if he stared too long, Mu Jin would shoot him a cold look.
Huangfu Yu and Wei Ruihan already had a considerable amount of startup capital, but to rise quickly, Huangfu Yu hoped for a more substantial financial backing.
He did not hesitate to approach Mu Jin to ask for a portion of money to invest, promising to return a share of the profits.
When Mu Jin heard that his lover was willing to accept his support, he naturally did not oppose it.
He confidently instructed his people to give a large sum to Huangfu Yu, which made Wei Ruihan exceptionally envious. It was precisely because they had sufficient initial investment that they reaped enormous benefits.
Once Huangfu Yu accumulated enough, he returned all the borrowed money to Mu Jin, along with generous profits.
Mu Jin was unsure how to feel about his lover’s actions.
While they did not need to divide anything between them, he understood Huangfu Yu’s thoughts and his desire to stand shoulder to shoulder with him. Naturally, he would not dampen his enthusiasm.
Following this, Huangfu Yu began to invest the profits on a large scale into high-risk, high-return projects.
Author’s Note:
This little world is definitely going to darken. I haven’t decided whether it will be Xiao Jin or Xiao Gong who will turn dark.
How about both of them turn dark together? Hiahiahiahia~~~
