When Shi Yue entered, this was the scene he saw.

The girl lay delicately on the sofa, with blood seeping from her neck, while an elegant vampire man knelt beside the sofa, gently wiping away the bloodstain from his lips.

A loud explosion echoed in Shi Yue’s mind, as if something was about to burst. He could even feel the anger emanating from Shi Yi.

“What did you do to her?” Shi Yue rushed forward.

Eugene lifted Wan Tong in his arms and looked at Shi Yue expressionlessly. “You’re Shi Yue, the thief?”

As he spoke, Shi Yue swiftly moved to snatch the person away.

Eugene evaded him with a flash of movement.

Wan Tong, being human, was not accustomed to their speed. The surroundings seemed to shift and blur like an illusion, overwhelming her senses.

Despite having lived for hundreds of years, Eugene was not at an advantage with Wan Tong in his arms.

Wan Tong looked at the stalemate and reached under her school uniform skirt, drawing out a dagger.

*Stab—* The sound of the blade piercing flesh.

Eugene stumbled and halted in the center of the hall.

He slowly lowered his head, gazing at the dagger in his chest, and those fair, slender hands.

He finally shifted his gaze to Wan Tong’s face and spoke with difficulty, “Why?”

Shi Yue took this opportunity to take Wan Tong and didn’t give her a chance to speak. He disappeared with her in the hall.

Eugene fell to the ground, still feeling the warmth of her body in his arms. He smirked, tightly gripping the dagger and slowly pulling it out with the utmost slowness.

The dagger was coated with a substance specifically used by hunters to deal with vampires, but she didn’t pierce his heart.

After pulling out the dagger, the wound couldn’t heal due to the corrosive substance, but Eugene stood up as if nothing had happened.

The pain he felt was nothing compared to the agony he had endured in the past century.

Shi Yue ran with Wan Tong all the way and returned home. He activated the security system and then pressed Wan Tong against the door improperly.

The blood hole on her neck had not yet disappeared.

Without a word, he held her wrist and placed it above her head, then lowered his head and gently licked the blood hole.

That aroma tempted him almost to madness, but he knew very well that she had lost too much blood and he couldn’t even take a drop from her.

Wan Tong faintly sensed his sharp fangs, appearing and disappearing, lightly grazing her skin, but he restrained himself from harming her.

“Shi Yue…” her soft voice suddenly entered Shi Yue’s ears.

As he felt an itch, his appetite increased, and the crimson color in his eyes uncontrollably brightened.

“Don’t make a sound,” he murmured the words from his mouth.

Wan Tong quickly pursed her lips.

Shi Yue maintained the last shred of his sanity, moving away from her neck. He slightly turned his face, fixating on her thin lips, suddenly recalling the soft and pleasant sensation from noon.

And so, he leaned closer once again.

Just as he was about to feed her blood, his chest began to stir, and the totem burned as if it were about to ignite.

Shi Yue slightly curled the corner of his lips and suddenly lightly grazed her lips with his sharp fangs…

In the next second, Shi Yue’s consciousness faded, but the mocking sneer at the corner of his mouth remained.

—How ridiculous, are you really planning to monopolize her?

—With your courage, you’re only worthy of holding her hand for a lifetime.

When Shi Yi was sober, he could feel the mockery coming from Shi Yue.

He looked at the small red mark on the girl’s lower lip, his chest slightly rising and falling, both out of anger and inexplicable excitement.

Shi Yue was becoming more and more restless.

Wan Tong sensitively noticed the boy’s unusual behavior and knew that there had been a switch again.

“…” She couldn’t vent her accumulated resentment towards Shi Yue’s hooligan behavior, so she could only glare at Shi Yi and then stomp upstairs.

She didn’t stay in the room for long before Shi Yi walked in.

He changed his clothes again, and the wounds left by the wolf claws on his arm were no longer visible. At this moment, he was holding a tray in his hand.

“Tongtong, can I apply some medicine to your wound?”

Wan Tong touched the bite mark on her neck and nodded slightly.

The blood of the vampire could heal wounds. Previously, Shi Yue had fed her blood, but not just now.

Shi Yi disinfected her wound, applied a band-aid, and then opened a lid on a tray, pushing a plate of clean blueberries towards her.

“Try it?”

Wan Tong looked at him with surprise and picked up one, throwing it into her mouth.

She had discovered in the morning that the blueberry jam in the refrigerator had been emptied, and he had said it wasn’t good to eat too much.

Shi Yi sat in the room for a while, watching her finish the blueberries before carrying the tray and leaving.

Glancing at the time, he entered the study.

The study was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood, and Mu Zheng was reading.

Shi Yi sat opposite him and picked up a pair of tweezers and a tea canister.

After brewing a pot of tea, Shi Yi spoke softly, “I want Shi Yue to disappear.”

Mu Zheng glanced at his watch, took off his reading glasses, and picked up the tea in front of him. “I can find a psychologist for you, but are you sure you can accept yourself?”

Shi Yi gazed at the clear tea in his cup and slowly spoke, “I want to be human.”

“Relying on the sealing power of the totem?” Mu Zheng shook his head. “Haven’t you noticed that the power is weakening?”

Shi Yi’s personality despised vampires. If he could truly accept the fact of becoming a vampire… then Shi Yue, in essence, would have no reason to exist.

This was something Shi Yi seemed unable to understand.

“I will find a way,” Shi Yi said.

As the clock struck seven, Mu Zheng turned and went to the hidden compartment behind the bookshelf. When he returned, he had a bottle of pills in his hand.

After he sat down, he handed the pills to the boy sitting across from him. “Do you know what Shi Yi talked to me about?”

Shi Yue undid the button that was tightening his chest, and he took the pills handed to him by Mu Zheng. “I can guess.”

Shi Yi had never liked him, and now he had repeatedly provoked him. Naturally, Shi Yi would want him to disappear.

Despite Shi Yi appearing dull and gentle, deep down he was more ruthless and heartless than an ordinary person.

Wan Tong had a hearty blood-booster meal and rested well for two days. Finally, she revived in full health.

In these past two days, Wan Tong hasn’t seen Shi Yue.

It should be noted that after 7 p.m., Shi Yi would lock himself in his room, and Shi Yue wouldn’t come out either.

Wan Tong felt that something was not right.

As the evening fell and they had dinner, Shi Yi returned to his room again. Just as Wan Tong was about to go upstairs, Mu Zheng stopped her.

“Shu Wantong, who exactly are you?” Mu Zheng looked at her with a serious expression.

Regardless of whether she was after Shi Yue or Shi Yi, he wanted to find out.

“Don’t worry, I won’t harm Shi Yue,” Wan Tong earnestly assured him.

“What about Shi Yi?” Mu Zheng asked.

“Aren’t they the same person?” Wan Tong replied.

Mu Zheng wasn’t surprised that she had discovered this secret. He continued, “Even though they use the same body, they are ultimately different personalities. In the end, only one can remain.”

Wan Tong was surprised and asked, “Are you planning to kill Shi Yi?”

Mu Zheng’s eyes flickered, and he replied with a question, “Why does it have to be Shi Yi?”

“The seal in his body was placed by you, right? However, due to limited ability, he still reverts to being a vampire at night. But I don’t understand how their split personality works.”

Mu Zheng fell silent. He couldn’t believe that she knew about the seal.

However, because of Shi Yi’s attitude towards her, Mu Zheng decided to be honest with her.

“A few months ago, Shi Yue began to be hunted by vampires. After he went to the werewolf territory and returned, he remained in a state of mental breakdown. Later, I discovered that he had developed an additional personality, Shi Yi. He has his own name and only remembers his memories as a human. But he can’t accept the fact that he has become a vampire. He has self-harmed multiple times, so I had to find a way to seal his body. Like you said, the seal becomes ineffective at night, which is why Shi Yi never appears during the night.”

Of course, recently, due to Shu Wantong’s presence, the power of the seal has weakened even more, and the appearance of Shi Yue and Shi Yi is no longer fixed.

After listening, Wan Tong was surprised and asked, “Shi Yi is the main personality?”

Mu Zheng nodded, “I suspect that he knew you before.”

Now Mu Zheng no longer sees her as an ordinary girl.

“But that was a hundred years ago, and I don’t have any impression of it.” She has seen… um, flirted with many humans.

But what can be certain is that Shi Yue is indeed of her bloodline.

She didn’t personally convert him, but he became a vampire, indicating that he may have drunk her blood when he was on the verge of death.

While Wan Tong was contemplating with her head down, she failed to notice a hint of strangeness on Mu Zheng’s face.

What does she mean by her words? Isn’t she eighteen now? Did she already exist a hundred years ago?

No wonder she calls him “Xiao Mu” so naturally…

“Xiao Mu, did Shi Yi do something to his own body? Why haven’t I seen Shi Yue at night?”

Upon hearing Wan Tong’s question, Mu Zheng sighed and said, “Shi Yi is the main personality. He is more familiar with controlling the body. During the time from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., when the seal of the totem weakens, he won’t appear. So the body is controlled by Shi Yue. However, these past two days, before going to sleep, he injected himself with a paralyzing drug developed by the Hunter Association. This prevents Shi Yue from taking any action even if he wakes up…”

Wan Tong didn’t expect Shi Yi to be so ruthless towards himself.

What should he do if he encounters danger at this time?

“Then you just watch him torment himself like this?” Wan Tong widened her eyes.

Mu Zheng snorted lightly, “What can I do? He’s my elder cousin1 after all!”

After saying that, Mu Zheng angrily walked away.

Could he really not listen to his elder brother’s words??

Wan Tong bit her lip, suppressing the urge to laugh, and said to his back, “Well, Xiao Mu, I’ll go up and check on him first.”

Mu Zheng : “…” He always felt like she was an old witch.

Shi Yi’s room was locked, and Wan Tong entered through Shi Yue’s room. There was a passage behind the bookcase, which she had already asked Mu Zheng about.

After entering Shi Yi’s room, she turned on all the lights and approached the big bed.

The bed was in a mess, and she didn’t see anyone.

However, there were faint sounds coming from the other side against the wall.

She went around and sure enough, she saw Shi Yue at the foot of the bed.

He was lying limp on the ground, his clothes soaked with cold sweat, even his short hair was damp with sweat.

Wan Tong quickly knelt down beside him, trying to help him up. “Shi Yue, are you feeling unwell? Didn’t they say it was just a paralyzing drug?”

[The paralying drug used by the Hunter’s Guild can also cause neurogenic trauma to vampires, like being bitten all over the body by ants.] Shishi’s reminder sent shivers down Wan Tong’s spine.

Why did Shi Yi have to be so cruel to himself?
