Soon, Duo came up carrying things.

  A little onion cake and pickled meat, plus a cup of hot milk.

  The onion pancake tastes bland, the cured meat is too salty, and when eaten together, they can only be given a barely edible evaluation by Cynthia's precious stomach.

  But she was too hungry and soon ate them all up.

  "Can you help me pack a portion?" Cynthia elegantly wiped her mouth and handed a gold coin to Dorn, "If Lord Kael returns, he might want to eat."

  Dorne had heard Cynthia's words in the black market before, and his eyes were inevitably filled with sympathy. Of course, he wouldn't be stingy with money either. "One gold coin is enough for you to eat here for two months, of course it can."

  Cynthia smiled and raised her face, and the two brothers were both captivated by her beauty.

  She declined Duoen's escort and walked home with a bamboo basket in hand, treading on the evening glow.

  The man huddled in the corner, wrapped in a thick cloak, slowly raised his bloodshot eyes filled with hatred, his pupils following Cynthia as she moved.

  His abnormally pale skin had just been exposed to a bit of sunlight and was now shrinking back, his mouth letting out a low growl, "Damn Cynthia!"

  Cynthia seemed to have sensed something and turned her head back, but there was no one in the shadow of the stone wall behind her, yet she felt a chill run down her spine.

  How did she seem to hear Curtis's voice?

  He should have been sucked dry in the Eternal Night Forest!

  Cynthia rubbed her arms and quickened her pace with the basket before running all the way back home as night began to fall.

  The room was pitch black, and Kayser hadn't returned.

  Xin Cai hung her windbreaker on the clothes rack, lit the kerosene lamp on the table, tidied up the collapsed bed on the floor, piled the bedposts to one side, and rearranged the bedding on the broken bed board before sitting down.

  She huddled in the corner watching the candlelight flicker on the table, pondering that Kael might not come tonight.

  After all, she did something so outrageous to him last night.

  In the eyes of the people here, it might still be someone else's first kiss.

  Cynthia's chin rested on her knees, staring blankly at the lamp on the table.

  Divine Light Progress: 9%

  The words that suddenly popped up in front of her almost made her jump up.

  How did it suddenly go up!

  She didn't see Kaisa all day today!

  Was he supplementing something in a place where she couldn't see? Cynthia was happy, but felt that the thoughts of this dark god incarnation were like a needle at the bottom of the sea.

  She may be expecting him to come tonight.

  The marble floor was polished to a high gloss, and Caius stood in the empty room.

  The red velvet was tied with a rope, and the silver night light that shone in through the exposed giant arch window reflected on the ground, faintly revealing the young man's delicate jawline tightly clenched.

  Kairos' empty eyes were filled with anxiety at this time, and several exquisitely carved stone statues beside him had been smashed to pieces by him from the wall, and the broken stones were scattered all over the ground.

  And yet it was he who had such a violent outburst, almost destroying the entire house, without calming down his emotions.

  He was extremely eager to break Cynthia's neck, and now he wanted to go and twist her head off to send it back to Rhodania, but a hesitant emotion kept blocking his footsteps, tormenting him until now.

  She was the first person to bring him medicine, the first person to kiss him, and the first person to try to challenge his bottom line...

  Too many firsts had become Kyrios' reason for having to put his hands around her neck.

  Death is the only thing that can bring peace, he doesn't like being manipulated emotionally, it's too dangerous.

  Kairos' eyes were gloomy and his gaze was fixed on the giant fountain outside the window.

  Under the moonlight, water gushes out of the spring and shoots into the air, like a falling meteor, and after touching the bright top, it falls into the pool and turns into darkness.

  No one can be an exception, he warned himself.

  Anthony had been waiting outside for a long time. In fact, there was even a row of black birds of different sizes standing at his feet.

  The heavy red gate was pushed open by an invisible force.

  Wearing a black velvet attire, Khaos emerged with an elegant posture and a pair of firm yet cruel red eyes.

  "Sir." Anthony bowed his head with a row of birds.

  "Clean up, and send word to the Rydania royal family."

  "What's up?" Anthony asked cautiously.

  Caius turned around with a very cold expression, "The princess of Riedonia is here with me."

  Everyone else had disappeared in a black mist before they even reached the bottom of the stairs, leaving Anthony with a bewildered expression.

  When was this? How could he not know?!

  Anthony walked into the room, looking at the space that had been cleared down to just the intact marble floor. His eyebrow twitched, "It's been a while since you last smashed something, hasn't it?"

  "Recently, due to the gossip in the city-state, there were people from the Vatican who came to DC district." A slightly plump black bird flew around the room, speaking in a human voice.

  "The grown-up didn't say how to solve it, but he should have solved the person directly." Anthony said nonchalantly while casting a spell to restore everything in the room to its original state. "However, the girl he brought back is indeed beautiful, with a head of golden curly hair that I quite like."

  "Blonde?" The fat bird perched on Anthony's shoulder, "Isn't that the emblem of the Rydania royal family? Only nobles have golden hair."

  Anthony's hand shook, and an arm of a stone statue was attached to his thigh.

  "You've lived for so long and still don't know?" The fat bird said disdainfully, "It seems that the position of this angel can be changed."

  "Shut up!" Anthony hissed softly, and with a flap of his wings on his back, he blew the fat bird against the window.

  ...

  Cynthia and others were half-closing their eyes to fall asleep, when suddenly a shrill scream rang out from just across the street outside the window.

  She was so frightened that she suddenly opened her eyes wide with a start.

  Tonight's darkness is not as calm as last night's.

  In the dark of night in Temeria, where murder is not a crime, vampires found their way to traveling humans...

  The scream lasted for just a few seconds before disappearing, but she was so startled that she lost all sleepiness.

  Although they say vampires can't enter homes uninvited, there's no guarantee they won't do so if provoked.

  The sound of boots trudging up the stairs echoed through the building where Cynthia lived, slowly and heavily pounding against her heart.

  She was lifted up a bit by her son, revealing only a pair of eyes, with a few remaining unexchanged blessing coins clutched in her hand.

  This is now the only thing that can help her.

  Next door lived Maureen and Maurice, and if she was lucky, the intruder would enter their house instead, sparing her.

  If not lucky enough...
