As if to confirm He Sheng's guess, a group of bats flew over from a distance and rushed straight towards the palace.

The bats fell to the ground and turned into vampires. The Blood Hunters immediately surrounded them and started to clear them out.

He Sheng stood on the roof and watched their fight. The group of vampires was at a disadvantage and was completely wiped out in a short time.

"Oh my, Duke He Sheng, don't you want to help your own people?"

"Didn't Duke Ulysses go to help either?" He Sheng replied without turning his head.

"Because I was the one who let them in and helped them." Ulysses said with a smile, "You didn't return to the territory last night. Where did you go to play?"

"nothing dealing with you."

"Don't be so heartless. We are colleagues after all. It's okay to tell me."

"Okay, let's go check the whereabouts of the holy artifact."

"that is it?"

"Otherwise?" He Sheng raised his eyebrows, "What else can I do in your imagination?"

"Go drink fresh blood, or make love with a human male who is nothing but a shell."

"I'm not interested in any of that. Tell me, why are you here?"

Ulysses spread his hands, "Who else would let me appear here except the king?"

Yes, He Sheng met him ten times, and eight of them were when he was carrying out tasks given by the king.

"Is the king planning to act ahead of time?"

"It's not really an early move, it's just starting to harass the humans a little and drain their energy."

"Will these low-level vampires attack here all night?"

"No, they will attack four, five, six, seven or eight times, depending on their mood."

He Sheng looked down at the panting Blood Hunter below. It was indeed a headache for them.

He Sheng stood up and said, "No more chatting, let's get down to business."

"I'm with you."

"You complete the king's mission, and I complete the king's mission. There is no need."

He Sheng turned around and disappeared into the night sky, and Ulysses disappeared in a flash.

Ulysses pursed his cheeks, "Don't you want to see me? Do you know that it's not my turn to take action in this kind of situation..."

"You are... really, free."

……

The palace was so small, and most of the guards were assigned to deal with the vampires who might come at any time. He Sheng's search was so smooth that it made her feel unreal. Was it true? Was the search over just like that?

As for the secret door or something, she didn't find it, so it's probably that there isn't one.

The first batch of blood hunters who came to the palace were replaced by another batch of blood hunters and asked to rest. He Sheng noticed that Ivan was among the new batch.

He Sheng's first thought was, is the Blood Hunter Association so oppressive? They asked him to work when he was still seriously injured?

As a result, he just followed the team in and then slipped away from the crowd. The captain counted the number of people and didn't find anything wrong. It was obvious that he had sneaked in.

He Sheng: ...

I mean, I misunderstood the Blood Hunting Association. It turns out they are not that cruel.

He Sheng turned into a bat and stood at the railing on the second floor watching their movements. Then she was picked up by a pair of hands. She knew it was Ivan without looking up.

No one but him would touch the bat.

"Aren't you afraid of being seen by other blood hunters?"

"I'm not afraid. Compared to this, I'm more afraid that you will leave without saying goodbye." Ivan's heart was filled with joy of recovering what he had lost. He knew that He Sheng was looking for the holy weapon. According to the place he said, she would be in the Blood Hunting Association if she was not in the palace. It just so happened that there was an opportunity for him to sneak into the palace, so he decided to take a gamble and bet that she was here.

"Where are you going next?" Ivan looked down along her line of sight and saw the vampires attacking again. "Are the vampires going to attack humans?"

"Well... not yet, but it's only a matter of time." He Sheng looked back at him, "Do you have any ideas?"

Ivan looked blank, "No, does it have anything to do with me?"

"It really has nothing to do with you, hahaha." He Sheng retracted his gaze, "Do you know what I'm looking for?"

"A holy vessel, isn't it?"

"Yes, but do you know what the Hallows mean?"

"It doesn't matter to me. If you want it, I'll get it for you," Ivan said firmly.

He Sheng was shocked, "What if humans are really wiped out by the vampires?"

"I do not know."

"Let's go. I've finished searching the palace. You can search the Vampire Association with me tomorrow."

Ivan put He Sheng on his shoulder and said, "Okay, let's go now."

Because the palace was too messy, the guards only checked people who were coming in and didn't care about people going out. He Sheng was hidden in Ivan's pocket and was taken out so easily.

It was still the early night, and there were many houses outside the palace with lights on. Under the sparse light, they strolled on the street.

Ivan held He Sheng's hand tightly. The fact that her hand could hold a real entity made him feel a little relieved.

"How long will you stay with me?"

"What?" He Sheng was so busy looking at the midnight snack of the family passing by that he didn't hear what Ivan said at all.

"I said, when will you return to the vampire clan?"

"I don't know, maybe I will stay?" He Sheng joked.

But Ivan took it seriously, Ivan hoped it was true.

"Really...really?"

"Who knows?" He Sheng strode forward, "Ivan, do you want to become a vampire?"

"No, I don't want to." Ivan refused.

"Hey, you actually refused. I thought you would agree immediately and say that this way you can stay with me forever."

Ivan laughed, "It does sound like something I would say, but I don't want to become a vampire."

"why?"

"Because this way you can keep drinking my blood." At least he would be her exclusive blood bag. As for death, it didn't matter. He even felt that death would increase his weight in her heart.

After all, there is a saying that the living can never be better than the dead.

As long as she still remembers his name after he dies, it will be fine.

Ivan had many thoughts in his mind, but he couldn't express them out loud.

The streets of the royal city were empty at night. People were afraid of the sudden attack by the vampires and chose to stay indoors. Only Ivan and He Sheng were on the road.

Ivan suddenly remembered the dance steps he had learned, and he asked He Sheng, "Sheng, can you dance?"

"What dance?"

"The dance of the nobility seems to be the waltz."

"I know it. Why are you asking this?" He Sheng stopped and looked at him.

"Then can I invite you to dance?" He bowed and extended his hand in front of He Sheng, "If you are willing, take my hand."

"On this road?"

“On this road.”

"How crazy, hahaha." He Sheng said this, but still put his hand in Ivan's palm, "I agree."

Ivan's brows were filled with joy. He hummed the tune he had memorized and put his hands on He Sheng's waist.

Under the moonlight, on the street, on this night, a vampire and a human were dancing.
