Witt is now a marquis, and despite having a third of his life essence taken from his body by his master at once, he is still extremely excited.
He had longed for the title of marquis for over a hundred years. If nothing unexpected happened, he would have had to wait another 180 years to be promoted to marquis. However, in less than an hour with his master, he had crossed that long 180 years and directly reached the level of marquis.
Moreover, considering that even after the master took away one-third of his essence blood, his own realm remained at the Marquis level, and his essence blood did not decay to the Earl level, it shows that the master had not only crossed the threshold of 180 years, but perhaps 300 or 500 years, to make his realm far surpass the newly promoted Marquis, and that taking away the essence blood did not affect his level.
"Witt, from now on you will live in the basement. You can come upstairs, but you are absolutely not allowed to leave the villa without permission, so that no one will know you are here."
Lin Yao's tone was somewhat stern, and he still felt the pain in his heart. "You can be active at night, but you must never attack ordinary people in Beijing, let alone drink their blood! I'm just letting you fly around so you don't get bored."
"Yes, Master. After reaching the rank of Marquis, vampires no longer need to drink blood. Even Earls only need to drink a small cup of blood each month to suppress the desire in their souls."
Witt bowed gracefully, making his already handsome face appear even younger. Combined with his physique and demeanor, even Lin Yao had to admit that Witt was a top-tier handsome man in Europe. Although he didn't know much about the appearance of foreign men, Witt's looks were definitely top-notch.
"Whatever, just remember these principles." Lin Yao rolled his eyes, turned and walked towards the basement door. "I'm leaving. Call me if you need anything."
"Farewell, Master!"
"Yaoyao, don't be heartbroken. At worst, I'll work harder to find a few 'Tai Sui' that are three or four thousand years old." Xiaocao's voice rang out, very gentle. "This is only using the residue from alchemy. You're so reluctant to part with it, but aren't the three hundred drops of 'human core power' in your body a benefit? This time, the 'human core power' is much more powerful than before!"
"Alright, vampires are really useless! So many 'Year-End Pills' only increased their strength by such a tiny bit, look at Yi Fei, he almost became a god with just one pill."
"These are two different things. The vampires rely entirely on the life force in the 'Year-Round Pill' to nourish their essence and blood. Yi Fei's advancement only relied on the power of the pill, not entirely on it."
Xiao Cao immediately corrected Lin Yao's misunderstanding, "Alright, alright, I know you just want me to go to more trouble to find 'Tai Sui'. Just say it directly, why make it so complicated? Do you think I would refuse you?"
"Hmm, hehe."
Lin Yao nodded and smiled, then stepped off the last step back to the ground.
Lin Yao wasn't embarrassed when Xiao Cao saw through his little scheme; they were originally one entity, so he didn't treat himself as an outsider.
My phone rang; it was a text message. The signal was blocked in the basement, and there were missed calls.
"Uncle Song, I am Lin Yao..."
...
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yao's expression was cold and stern. He casually kicked away a stone in the woods near the villa, his furrowed brows showing that he was preoccupied.
"Yaoyao, don't be angry if someone from above causes trouble. There's always a way to resolve these worldly matters. Don't let it get to you." Xiaocao's voice rang out at the right time.
“Yes, you’re right.” Lin Yao nodded. “I’ve been too caught up in worldly affairs lately, and I often forget my own identity and abilities, haha.”
"Let's go meet Song Chengxuan. He's just from the GA department, what can they do to Minhong?"
Xiao Cao boldly uttered a sentence that amused Lin Yao.

Thank you to "Old Love Leftover" for the monthly pass!
Thank you so much to "Old Love Leftover" (21 votes) and "Book Friend 081129203318710" for their 3K votes and encouragement to update! Thank you so much!
P.S.: I've been sleeping so well lately! Like a rocker. I'm starting to stockpile drafts now (planned 15,000 words) to deal with unexpected situations and to help me control my update schedule. I've never had the habit of stockpiling drafts before, so I don't know if it will work. I'll give it a try, haha.
After saving the draft, I started to organize the plot and read books to learn how to write. I think my writing hasn't been good enough lately, so fewer people are reading it. I'll work hard to improve and hope everyone will be satisfied.
Have a wonderful day!

"Xiao Lin, what do you think is the best way to handle this?"
Song Chengxuan, as the deputy director of the GA department, passed the buck to Lin Yao. This way, he could both do Lin Yao a favor and probe his bottom line, or rather, Min Hong's.
Lin Yao remained silent, staring at the toothpick box on his seat as if there was something tempting inside.
"What do you mean by 'how to handle this'?! Tell Xiaolin what your attitude is, and then Xiaolin can express his opinion on behalf of Minhong. That's the way to talk things over."
A fiery voice shattered the silence in the private room, "Stop dawdling! This isn't a negotiation, what's the point of all this scheming!"
Lin Yao withdrew his gaze from the toothpick box, looked up and smiled, "Thank you, Grandpa Song!"
The tall and robust Grandpa Song, with his fair and plump figure, was looking at Lin Yao with a smile on his face. He looked even more like Maitreya Buddha than Sun Woxing. Of course, this was just Lin Yao's feeling. In terms of physique, Sun Woxing was closer to Maitreya Buddha.
Song Chengxuan was rendered speechless by his father's shout. He subtly shrank his neck and pretended to drink tea to hide his embarrassment.
"Xiao Lin, do you have a girlfriend? If not, I can introduce you to some. Take your pick, and let me know when you've chosen one. But you have to live up to the title of 'Grandpa' you've been calling me."
Song Chengxuan's father, Song Jide, squinted at Lin Yao; he liked the young man very much.
Paralyzed for two years, the first thing she saw when she regained consciousness was Lin Yao's handsome face. After hearing about Lin Yao's life story, she immediately fell in love with the young man she had never seen again.
Upon hearing that his son, Song Chengxuan, wanted to talk to Lin Yao about Minhong Pharmaceutical, he immediately asked to go along, hoping to see the miraculous little doctor again.
"Thank you, Grandpa Song. I have a girlfriend now."
Lin Yao's face beamed with joy. Seeing Song Chengxuan's politeness being reprimanded, he felt very relieved and quickly replied to the old man.
"Do all old people have a penchant for matchmaking? They've only just met and they're already trying to introduce me to girlfriends, and several at that! And they're saying I can pick any one I want! Do they think this is an apple market?"
Lin Yao secretly imagined what kind of scene Xia Yuwen would have if she knew these words. He became even happier as he thought about it, and his eyes narrowed as he smiled.
