The taste of fresh blood lingered on her lips. Liu Ru would feel dizzy whenever she saw blood in the past, yet blood had somehow become splendid, sticky, sweet, and she seemed to forget the pain, hatred and sorrow accumulated in her heart at that moment!

However, Liu Ru did not indulge in pleasure for too long.

Her body shuddered violently as she came to a realization.

She withdrew the fangs out from Mo Fan’s neck in panic, and touched them with her hand in disbelief!

-God, what was I doing? –

Liu Ru could not believe it. She looked at Mo Fan, who was staring back at her. She could not detect any ripple of emotion from his eyes.

Yet, the more emotionless they seemed, the more Liu Ru felt like she was punctured with holes by the gaze, clueless about how to face him…

Liu Ru struggled to her feet as she broke free from Mo Fan’s hug. She took a few steps backward, as a great sorrow surged within her body. Normally, she would have broken out in tears by now, as she never thought she would be hurting the person who was helping her.

However, not a single drop of tears was shed.

It would be too fake if she simply dug her face into her hands and cried. A dizzy feeling gave her the urge to chuck her body, which no longer felt like her own, deep into an abyss!

-What am I?

-What was I doing?

-Vampire…-

The species that she hated to the guts, she had turned into one of them, and even harmed her friend!

Liu Ru did not dare to look at Mo Fan. She quickly ran into a nearby path among some woods shrouded in darkness.

Maybe she was unaware that her speed kept on increasing in the dark, that she had already run a few hundred meters in an instant…

Mo Fan who was frozen to the spot, tried to chase after her, but was shocked by Liu Ru’s speed too.

Not too long ago, she was only a delicate, ordinary girl, but she had completely changed after receiving the blood.

The color of her pupils, the sharp fangs, the charming red lips on her pale face, her look did not change, yet her figure was shrouded in a mysterious mist, and a totally different dark temperament!

Looking at her back running into the distance, and hearing her despairing cry, Mo Fan felt a surge of sorrow in his heart.

She bore a great hatred toward the vampires, to the extent that she was tried to fight the guy with a dagger, but now she had turned into one herself. Mo Fan could not possibly imagine the despair she was experiencing.

——

“Mo Fan, what’s wrong?” Lingling appeared beside him.

“We were still too late,” said Mo Fan who looked at Lingling and shook his head helplessly.

Lingling immediately realized what had happened after noticing the teeth marks on Mo Fan’s neck, and his pale face.

“What should we do now? The vampire seems to have noticed something, we’ve lost track of him”, asked Lingling.

“I’m quite tired too. Let’s head back,” said Mo Fan.

Mo Fan felt light-headed after Liu Ru had drunk a significant amount of his blood. It was not ideal to try and hunt the vampire down now, he would decide what to do once he recovered.

In Mo Fan’s opinion, the only thing he could possibly do was exterminate the vampire. As for the rest…he would worry about it later.

——

After returning to the apartment, Mo Fan laid on the couch facing upward.

He had consumed a blood serum, he should recover fairly quickly after a rest.

“Mo Fan, why did you let Liu Ru go?” Zhao Manting was pacing up and down the room worriedly.

“I couldn’t catch up to her,” said Mo Fan.

“Couldn’t catch up?” Zhao Manting was astounded.

“Mm, she was very fast. I’d already used my Blood Tabi when I was getting her out of the club,” said Mo Fan.

“You always say that I will do something to her when I’m protecting her, but I’m not blind. It’s obvious that she has feelings for you, but she’s afraid to trouble you…” said Zhao Manting.

“Don’t let me get my hands on the vampire, or else I would skin him by peeling the layers off one by one!” Mo Fan could not find a way to vent his frustration.

He had almost recovered, so his only thought now was to find the vampire!

“Mo Fan, I’ve located the vampire!” Lingling brought some good news as Mo Fan’s stomach was burning with fury.

Mo Fan rose from the couch, his eyes flickering with murderous intent.

“I’m not Mo Fan if I don’t kill that jerk!” Mo Fan did not want to waste any time, jumping down from the balcony instead of taking the lift.

As he was falling to the bottom floor, his body quickly dissolved into the shadows at the side of the lake, and something swept across the surface of the lake like a nimble nighthawk!

Zhao Manting had just reached the balcony when he saw the enraged Mo Fan landing on the other side of the artificial lake. An elegant wolf-shaped creature leapt out from a gap under the moonlight. In mid-run, Mo Fan quickly jumped onto the Swift Star Wolf’s back…

The creature’s star-colored fur drifted in the wind as he rode into the distance with the furious Mo Fan, disappearing among the busy interconnecting streets!

—

“F**k, wait for me!” yelled Zhao Manting at Mo Fan’s leaving figure.

A Magician whose primary Element was Light and secondary Element was Water would never dare to jump off the building like Mo Fan. He had no choice but to take the elevator.

“Damn, a Magician that still needs to drive, what the heck!” grumbled Zhao Manting.

He started the engine of his car, stepped on the pedal, and drove his car out of the parking lot. Unfortunately, the bar at the pay station dropped down in front of him…

Zhao Manting instantly lost his temper. When he recalled Mo Fan’s furious yet unrestrained expression, he clenched his teeth and stepped on the gas pedal!

The bar was smashed into pieces, landed on the ground and the black car surged ahead…

He could not drift around in shadow form or ride a Summoned beast across the city, but if he did not even have the courage to smash the pay station’s bar to earn some time, he would quit being a Magician straight away!

He was also responsible for the series of events that had turned Liu Ru into a vampire. God knows how long it would take the Hunter Union to send someone over to handle the incident. Mo Fan was already making his way to the vampire, so he should be heading there, too!
