Gu Yunzhou suddenly moved closer to Ji Zhaoming.
Gu He stopped him: "Speak your mind, don't take this opportunity to disturb our king."
“Your eyes,” Gu Yunzhou said. “Your eyes are very beautiful.”
Ji Zhaoming: "..."
Gu He: "..."
This is no lie, especially when using his abilities; the dazzling colors that erupt in his eyes can make Gu Yunzhou forget where he was born. Gu Yunzhou has undergone some resistance training and has some resistance to ordinary hypnotic abilities.
But when he met Ji Zhaoming's eyes, he completely forgot that he was even trying to resist.
He was willing to be hypnotized by Ji Zhaoming.
Gu He struggled to understand Gu Yunzhou's meaning, and shoved him away: "You mean, the king's power lies in his eyes?"
This put Gu He in a difficult position. Very few vampires awaken other abilities. Even though he had read all the books in the castle when he was bored and knew about this, he couldn't guess what ability was related to it.
Moreover, when Ji Zhaoming used his ability, he was facing away from Ji Zhaoming.
Gu He frowned and asked, "So you know what ability it is?"
"Perhaps it's related to hypnosis," Gu Yunzhou said.
He could also guess the problems faced by the vampires: the vampire prince had awakened an ability that they had no idea how to cultivate, and the books that recorded these things belonged to humans.
Gu Yunzhou said, "If it's this kind of ability, there might be side effects when it awakens. I can help Wang resolve that."
He omitted the word "you".
Gu He didn't understand: "Resolve the side effects?"
"No, it's just to help you get through this period," Gu Yunzhou said. "I've read the relevant information. It's very dangerous when this ability awakens. Although your vampires are powerful, their abilities are only focused on destruction, aren't they?"
Gu He fell silent.
If what Gu Yunzhou said is true, it will probably not be easy for Wang Nengli to awaken.
Gu He: "What do you want?"
Gu He released Ji Zhaoming's hand. "I've said it before, I just hope that humans and vampires can live in peace. I can also find a way to solve your food problem."
Gu He scoffed: "Sure, if you really can get your hands on someone in the Blood Hunter Guild."
Blood Hunters are different from vampires; their rules are complicated and intricate. Even the current president of the Blood Hunter Guild cannot claim that none of his subordinates harbor ill intentions, let alone Gu Yunzhou.
Gu Yunzhou said, "I can help Wang awaken his abilities first, and we can talk about the rest later."
“He is our king,” Gu He emphasized.
Gu Yunzhou has already made a huge concession; otherwise, once his abilities awaken, the vampires would have even more say. Gu He just doesn't understand why Gu Yunzhou is so determined to help the vampires.
This is a huge gamble, entirely dependent on whether the vampires are willing to abide by this rule.
unless……
Gu He instantly understood: "You've also been hypnotized by our King?"
Otherwise, there's no reason.
"No," Gu Yunzhou said, "I'm just asking, are you willing or not?"
Gu He was of course willing.
Even if they were unwilling, the day when Wang Nengli would recover and awaken would be getting closer and closer. They didn't have time to find other ways. The best thing for them right now was to ask Gu Yunzhou for help while taking action at the same time to prevent Gu Yunzhou from going back on his word.
"There's one last question," Gu He said. "We will not use marriage as a bargaining chip."
No matter what, the vampires would never treat the king's love life as a joke.
Gu Yunzhou: "..."
He wanted to say that wasn't what he meant, but when he saw Ji Zhaoming, he shamefully hesitated.
Gu He instantly bristled: "I knew it!"

Don't you remember me?
Chapter 71
Seeing that Gu He was about to fight Gu Yunzhou to the death, Ji Zhaoming quickly pulled him back.
Gu He: "Your Majesty, don't stop me. This kind of person absolutely cannot be kept in the castle."
"Gu He." Ji Zhaoming placed his hand behind Gu He's back and called out softly.
Gu He stopped what he was doing and looked at Ji Zhaoming with a wronged expression: "Your Majesty."
Despite their reluctance, they ultimately chose to obey Ji Zhaoming's words.
Gu Yunzhou said, "For now, let's focus on awakening the King's abilities."
He reached out to grab Ji Zhaoming's wrist, but Gu He stopped him halfway.
Gu He: "What do you want to do?"
Gu Yunzhou twisted his wrist, missing Gu He's outstretched hand, and at the same time, he forcefully struck Gu He's wrist. Gu He, of course, was not one to admit defeat. He gave Gu Yunzhou a provocative smile, quickly flipped his hand, and grabbed Gu Yunzhou's wrist the instant Gu Yunzhou's hand fell.
Gu Yunzhou showed no mercy in that attack, and Gu He's smile instantly changed: "Impressive, impressive."
Gu Yunzhou was also in pain. Vampires are naturally physically strong, and his blow felt like hitting steel, the shockwave making his hand hurt.
With Ji Zhaoming watching from the side, Gu Yunzhou, unwilling to be outdone, simply nodded.
Ji Zhaoming sighed deeply, his tone instantly becoming serious: "Gu He, Gu Yunzhou."
Perhaps due to the inherent antagonism between vampires and blood hunters, the mutual dislike between these two was more severe than in previous worlds, to the point that they could fight even with Ji Zhaoming standing right in front of them.
Gu He reluctantly conceded, while also demonstrating his loyalty to Ji Zhaoming: "Yes, Your Majesty. But I must warn you, I am only letting you off the hook for Your Majesty's sake. Don't use the guise of helping Your Majesty awaken to do other things."
Gu Yunzhou smiled, ignoring his words, and put his hand back on Ji Zhaoming's wrist, carefully feeling the energy in his pulse.
This scene was too glaring. Even though Gu He tried his best to control his emotions, he still felt uncomfortable. He was the one who discovered the king first, but Gu Yunzhou caught up with him.
He knew, of course, that Ji Zhaoming didn't mean to favor either of them, but seeing the two of them so close, he felt like this scene had happened countless times before, and his heart was filled with jealousy. So he simply took out a planet-shaped bracelet from his pocket and tied it to Ji Zhaoming's wrist.
Gu He's mood improved somewhat after seeing that the king possessed something he had given him. "I'll arrange the rest with the other vampires first."
He shut his mouth after saying that.
Ji Zhaoming, however, heard his voice.
"Wang can contact me by pressing the golden star next to this bracelet."
This is a unique form of telepathy used by vampires.
Ji Zhaoming nodded knowingly: "Okay, you can go first."
Gu He glared at Gu Yunzhou fiercely, then turned and left.
Out of sight, out of mind. Gu He simply went to arrange for the vampires to collect information on Wang Juexing.
Hmm, all this information is in the Blood Hunter Guild's territory. It seems that the King has accepted Gu Yunzhou's suggestion, so we can send a vampire to negotiate with them first.
If you don't accept it...
Gu Yunzhou was unaware of Gu He's departure; he was busy processing the energy within Ji Zhaoming's body.
As a vampire prince, Ji Zhaoming's power is like an unfathomable, surging sea. Even if the surface is calm and peaceful, huge waves are already rising from the bottom.
This situation is a bit tricky. Gu Yunzhou frowned and pushed his mental energy deeper into the depths.
After all, he was a Blood Hunter and Ji Zhaoming was a vampire, so he thought they would be incompatible. However, the barrier that Ji Zhaoming was beyond his control seemed to see his own people and broke through in a flash, and the seawater inside gently absorbed Gu Yunzhou's spiritual power.
This shows that Ji Zhaoming trusted him exceptionally much.
Despite having just met, this vampire prince dared to open his mind to the outside world. Gu Yunzhou didn't know whether to call him naive or what. Just as he was about to control his mental power to sink down, he paused.
He saw his own spirit constantly revolving around Ji Zhaoming's spiritual power, seemingly cheering.
Mental strength best represents a person's mood. Gu Yunzhou was stunned, completely unaware that he was actually happy about this.
Suppressing his doubts, Gu Yunzhou tried his best to activate his mental energy.
He tried again to tug at his mental strength.
The mental energy seemed to be out of control, refusing to leave.
This made Gu Yunzhou even suspect that he and Ji Zhaoming might have had a deep and inseparable friendship, which he had simply forgotten.
Thinking of this, he gasped for breath, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at Ji Zhaoming's face.
With his mental energy invaded, Ji Zhaoming fell into a deep sleep, as quiet as the most exquisite doll in the cabinet, his features unbelievably beautiful. However, Gu Yunzhou knew that Ji Zhaoming would be at his most beautiful when he opened his eyes.
With the person right in front of him, Gu Yunzhou felt a little relieved, and his consciousness returned.
Below this was also Ji Zhaoming's spiritual sea. Gu Yunzhou's spiritual power seemed to realize this, and reluctantly bid farewell to the outermost layer of spiritual power, continuing to extend downwards.
The situation inside was much worse. If he were to awaken so abruptly, Ji Zhaoming would probably suffer greatly. Gu Yunzhou pondered for a moment, then used some of his spiritual power to slowly repair himself.
After the repairs were completed, Gu Yunzhou's mental energy was exhausted. He looked at Ji Zhaoming's remaining disordered mental energy, estimated the time, and was about to withdraw his own mental energy when Ji Zhaoming's mental energy reluctantly pulled him back.
No wonder that after being a blood slave for a long time, they will willingly submit to the vampires. Whenever the vampires absorb their blood, they inject a portion of their spiritual power into it. Over time, this makes the blood slaves "love" the vampires.
It's just that Ji Zhaoming's mental power hasn't fully awakened yet, so he's simply biting and eating.
This feeling came suddenly, and Gu Yunzhou's entire sea of consciousness shook violently. In the blur, he saw the memories that belonged to Ji Zhaoming.
Ji Zhaoming seemed to be standing in front of someone, talking to someone, with a smile in his eyes and at the corners of his mouth, as if the person in front of him must be very important to him.
Gu Yunzhou had no intention of prying into other people's memories and was about to withdraw his mental energy when he suddenly saw Ji Zhaoming's perspective shift upwards.
He saw the man's face.
—It was a face exactly like her own.
But Gu Yunzhou knew clearly that this was not himself.
This person showed no signs of being a blood hunter; he was just an ordinary person without any awakened abilities.
So, before Ji Zhaoming fell into a deep sleep, he encountered someone who looked exactly like him? And the two even had a close relationship?
