Legend has it that every time a vampire prince awakens, the world is thrown into chaos. According to the records, the time for his awakening should be approaching soon.
As he spoke, he felt a dampness on his collar and looked down.
The previous vigorous movement caused the wound to reopen, and blood flowed down the neck onto the clothes.
Gu Yunzhou clicked his tongue, annoyed.
The person in his arms seemed to mutter something. Even though he knew this person's identity was strange, Gu Yunzhou couldn't raise his guard and moved closer to ask, "What did you say?"
"It smells so good." Ji Zhaoming looked up, his eyes shining as he looked at the blood on Gu Yunzhou's neck.
He had never smelled such a wonderful aroma before, and it made him want to…
I wish I could devour the person in front of me.
Ji Zhaoming's originally black eyes gradually turned red: "Your blood smells so good."
Gu Yunzhou then suddenly realized something—the person in his arms was a vampire.
By the way, what did they call this vampire again?
king?
Besides princes, are there any other vampires who can be called kings?
The only vampire prince in the vampire clan.

Chapter 65
Do you still prefer Gu Yunzhou?
Gu Yunzhou's expression suddenly changed. The vampire prince he had been searching for all this time, the one he wanted to kill, was this little one in his arms?
The book describes the vampire prince as having a burly physique and high martial prowess, whose face, though pale, is not weak. One glance is enough to tell that if he were to remain in the world, he would surely cause trouble. Is there even a tiny bit of similarity between the description in the book and the person in my arms?
Could it be that the vampires here have recognized someone else as their king?
Indeed, the vampire prince has been asleep for so long. If the vampires didn't have a king who could command the army, wouldn't things be in chaos?
There was only one thing Gu Yunzhou couldn't understand. He had always thought that even if the vampires re-elected their king, he should be on par with the vampire prince. Why did they choose such a seemingly weak vampire?
Gu Yunzhou fell into deep thought, and the pressure in his hand naturally loosened a little.
Even though Ji Zhaoming looked weak, his body was still that of a vampire. Moreover, there was a sweet cake on his nose constantly tempting him. Taking advantage of Gu Yunzhou's dazed state, he climbed up Gu Yunzhou's body and wrapped his arms around Gu Yunzhou's neck.
Because he looked exceptionally well-behaved and harmless, Gu Yunzhou didn't stop him for a moment, and let Ji Zhaoming "do whatever he wanted" on her.
Ji Zhaoming's dark eyes grew increasingly red.
Gu He frowned and took a step forward.
He certainly didn't want his king to be with such a dangerous person, especially since Gu Yunzhou's target had always been the vampire prince. Even if Gu Yunzhou hadn't recognized him yet, he didn't think the hunter was a merciful person. "Your Majesty..."
Ji Zhaoming couldn't hear anything; he could only watch the blood flowing out.
His teeth were getting increasingly itchy, and Ji Zhaoming instinctively opened his mouth, revealing two sharp teeth. He gently sniffed the spot where Gu Yunzhou was bleeding.
Hearing the footsteps approaching, Ji Zhaoming seemed to be disturbed by an intruder. He narrowed his eyes in displeasure, grabbed Gu Yunzhou's shoulder with one hand to prevent his prey from escaping, and turned his head to stare at Gu He with a warning look.
Gu He immediately stopped, raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and moved backward.
When a vampire encounters a satisfactory prey, anyone who approaches the vicinity will be treated as a hostile target.
At the same time, Gu He felt a little dissatisfied, really not understanding what it was about Gu Yunzhou that caught the eye of his king.
Seeing the person retreat, Ji Zhaoming then withdrew his gaze with satisfaction. He was not in a hurry to drink the blood, but leisurely smelled it first, as if he was particularly satisfied with Gu Yunzhou's blood.
This gave Gu Yunzhou a strange sense of pride, which he quickly suppressed.
Is he crazy? How can this make him happy?
Gu Yunzhou knew he should be on guard, but his emotions and reason seemed to be separated. Even if he wanted to suppress them, he couldn't suppress the ecstatic joy in his heart.
...The vampire prince is indeed terrifying.
He wasn't immune to being coveted by other vampires, but those vampires, drawn by the aroma, couldn't wait to bite off his neck, their eyes filled with bloodlust and madness, which disgusted him.
Since he hadn't figured out the identity of the person in his arms, there was no need to kill him. Gu Yunzhou simply moved his body back to avoid Ji Zhaoming's teeth biting him.
With his prey escaping, Ji Zhaoming was not about to give up easily. He gripped Gu Yunzhou's shoulder tightly with such force that you could see his knuckles. He frowned, his handsome brows furrowed, seemingly unable to understand why his prey was getting further and further away from him.
The hunter leaned back along with Gu Yunzhou's movements, and finally succeeded in catching his prey.
"Ugh." But just as he was about to bite, someone blocked his path forward with a hand, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move forward an inch.
Ji Zhaoming raised his head in dissatisfaction, attempting to accuse him with his eyes.
This was somewhat beyond Gu Yunzhou's expectations.
He thought that if he couldn't get any blood, Ji Zhaoming would forcefully pry his hands off, or even resort to violence like Gu He did, since he had long heard that the vampire prince was always a man of his word.
Feeling a little guilty under those eyes, Gu Yunzhou withdrew his hand and touched his nose. Seeing that Ji Zhaoming didn't continue to do so, but just quietly looked at him.
It was as if he had committed a terrible crime.
Gu Yunzhou tried to reason with him: "I am a hunter, the kind of hunter who specializes in hunting vampires."
Ji Zhaoming was new to the area and knew nothing about hunters or vampires. He only vaguely seemed to understand the meaning behind Gu Yunzhou's words: "You want to hunt me?"
Gu Yunzhou subconsciously retorted, "No."
It felt awful to have the cake right in front of you but not be able to eat it. Ji Zhaoming said in a slightly aggrieved tone, "Then why won't you let me take a bite?"
Gu Yunzhou didn't know how to talk about this with the muddle-headed guy in front of him.
After all, it seemed that under the lure of blood, this person's rationality was blurred, and he didn't even realize the meaning behind his words.
Was he saying this to imply that he was hunting someone? No, he was implying that he was a dangerous person.
—Don't get close to him, and try to stay away from him.
Gu Yunzhou felt he had truly gone mad, otherwise why would he utter such a meaningless warning, telling Ji Zhaoming to stay away from him while simultaneously hoping Ji Zhaoming would get closer?
Gu Yunzhou sighed and pinched Ji Zhaoming's cheek: "Foolish."
It's unclear whether she's referring to herself or Ji Zhaoming.
Ji Zhaoming couldn't understand these words. Blood kept sloshing in front of him. He had been asleep for so long, and his stomach was empty. Seeing that Gu Yunzhou had given up resisting, he rested his head on Gu Yunzhou's neck again and tentatively licked the blood with his tongue.
It was so sweet, yet not cloyingly sweet. Ji Zhaoming felt his soul tremble. He opened his mouth, revealing his small teeth, and rubbed them against Gu Yunzhou's skin before biting down hard.
It wasn't bitten through.
Contrary to expectations, Ji Zhaoming opened his eyes in confusion and saw only two small teeth marks, without even breaking the skin.
Gu Yunzhou also felt the force, but it was small and only caused a slight itch.
He began to doubt his own speculation again. So frail, how could he possibly be a vampire prince?
A vampire prince who can't even afford the most basic meal?
Gu He could see that Gu Yunzhou was reluctant to harm Ji Zhaoming. Although he didn't understand why, it gave him courage. He stepped forward and comforted him, saying, "Your Majesty, you have just awakened and your strength has not fully recovered. Why don't you come with me? We have prepared fresh blood."
Even if they don't know when Ji Zhaoming will wake up, the vampires will still prepare blood slaves, just in case their king wakes up one day.
Fortunately, this is not an unattainable dream.
Gu He carefully walked forward, and only after confirming that Ji Zhaoming had stopped eating did he breathe a sigh of relief and slowly continue forward.
Gu He glanced at Gu Yunzhou.
Gu Yunzhou withdrew his grip, letting Ji Zhaoming lie softly on his shoulder.
Gu He was incredibly jealous, but he couldn't say anything. Every vampire prince might lose their memory after falling into a deep sleep, and judging from the situation, their king probably had lost his memory as well. In Ji Zhaoming's heart, his status was probably not as high as this vampire hunter's.
Gu He asked softly, "Your Majesty?"
"Hmm?" Ji Zhaoming raised his head and asked dejectedly.
Gu Yunzhou's blood smelled so good that he didn't want to leave at all.
Unfortunately, he wasn't allowed to eat. Ji Zhaoming couldn't use his martial arts skills, so he could only tug at Gu Yunzhou's clothes, trying to change the mind of this hard-hearted blood hunter.
Gu Yunzhou tapped his head.
It seems they still won't allow it.
Helpless, Ji Zhaoming could only straighten up, put his hand into Gu He's outstretched hand, and follow him downstairs. The smell of blood gradually faded, and Ji Zhaoming's rationality gradually returned.
Wait, wait a minute?! What did he do before?!
However, this was enough for Ji Zhaoming to realize that his identity in this world should be that of a vampire, or that damned vampire prince.
System: [Identity unlocked.]
System: [You are the only remaining vampire prince.]
System: [He is the king of all vampires.]
System: [Lead them to victory, my king.]
The few words he had heard earlier were enough for Ji Zhaoming to conclude that his identity and Gu Yunzhou's were now adversaries.
Ji Zhaoming pursed his lips tightly, his brows furrowed with a hint of annoyance as he glanced back at Gu Yunzhou one last time.
Finally, he followed Gu He downstairs.
Gu Yunzhou, who was left standing there, paused for a moment, then subconsciously took a step forward, wanting to follow Ji Zhaoming down.
But why?
They've only just met, haven't they?
Moreover, this person is very likely the one they are tasked with eliminating.
As Ji Zhaoming grew further and further away from him, leaving only a tiny shadow, he decided to follow his heart and continue on his path.
"What do you want to do?" The vampire fingernail that remained in place asked in a cold voice.
Gu Yunzhou was polite to Ji Zhaoming, but that didn't mean he would be polite to these people. He sneered, "You think you can stop me?"
These people were Ji Zhaoming's subordinates after all. Gu Yunzhou tried to suppress his coldness and sighed, "I just want to see your king."
