Chapter 298 Am I the weakest son of the vampire progenitor? 35
"Why is this happening?"
Vampires couldn't die so easily. Lu Sien refused to believe it and continued to kill several more people to bleed them out. He seemed to be in a killing frenzy, unable to see the wailing humans, unable to see that the humans he had painstakingly injured and saved were dying at his hands again.
The ground was covered in blood and corpses, and the dark forest looked more like a hell.
Damian, however, remained completely silent.
"Waaaaah... Don't kill me... Don't kill me."
Lu Si'en froze, and as he reached out to grab another human, he suddenly snapped back to reality when he touched the girl's neck. "...Is she dead?"
The pain the girl anticipated didn't come; instead, a drop of water suddenly appeared on her arm.
When I opened my eyes again, in the hellish jungle, the two black-robed figures had disappeared, leaving only a group of humans who had not yet been killed.
"Waaaaah, Father... Waaaaah."
He escaped the golden light that killed him, but he couldn't escape the calamity in the jungle.
Ironically, the one who saves and the one who kills are the same person.
……
It was nearing noon, when the sun was at its strongest. Zhao Zhao was preoccupied with thoughts as she slept, so she couldn't sleep comfortably. "Second brother, fourth brother, fifth brother... Father!"
Startled awake from a nightmare, Zhao Zhao sat up, her forehead covered in cold sweat, her short white hair plastered to her skin, making her look rather disheveled.
In the perpetually dark room, Zhao Zhao had difficulty keeping track of the time and asked, "System, what time is it now?... My heart is pounding... System."
Just right.
"Oh."
Zhao Zhao scratched her head listlessly and asked in confusion, "What's that noise down there? It's so noisy."
"Is it my brother who's back?" Thinking of this possibility, he couldn't wait to get out of bed.
Thinking about the plot, the system finally said, "[Yes, Damian and Lu Si'en have just returned. You should go quickly.]"
Regarding the plot, the system's voice is always completely flat, devoid of joy or sorrow.
Zhao Zhao was already used to it. With a smile, he pushed open the door, and all the vampires who had been guarding him at the doorway had left.
"Oh ho! Brother, I'm here!"
I couldn't wait to go find my brothers, my steps light and cheerful, listening for any noises.
However, the closer they got, the clearer the sound became. Zhao Zhao asked in confusion, "System, why is someone crying?"
As they drew closer, their conversation grew increasingly emotional. Zhao Zhao slowed her pace, a slight tremor creeping down her lips. "He...they were crying because..."
When the name "Damian" appeared again, Zhao Zhao was incredulous. Wings immediately appeared, and she flew to the castle hall.
In the middle of the floor, covered with a thick blanket, a group of women were crying. Among them, Zhao Zhao recognized one person: Lady Aria.
He stepped forward and circled around the hall, but he didn't see his fourth and third brothers. All he saw were black charcoal figures on the ground, surrounded by people crying and reeking of blood, and a mangled, unrecognizable figure standing blankly to the side.
Zhao Zhao was a little scared and didn't dare to look at the person a second time. Just as she was about to fly away, the person called out to her, "Little Hill."
A hoarse, tired, yet strangely familiar voice came from that person. Zhao Zhao was stunned. "You are... Third Brother?" Tears welled up in her eyes again. Zhao Zhao, who was originally very scared, immediately flew to his side.
Her tearful eyes stared intently at him, examining him carefully from head to toe, front to back. "What happened to you? Waaah... Does it hurt?"
Zhao Zhao snored at him, but the tears fell even more fiercely, blurring her vision.
Lu Si'en forced a smile, not daring to reach out her rotting hand to wipe his tears. "It's alright, it'll be over soon."
"Our self-healing ability is very strong, isn't it?" This sentence was particularly heavy, and it was unclear whether it was said to Zhao Zhao or to him.
"Where's Fourth Brother? I haven't seen him!"
Zhao Zhao looked left and right, and considering Lu Si'en's appearance, she finally turned her gaze back to the black charcoal on the ground.
Looking at Lu Si'en in disbelief, she saw him simply nod silently.
In an instant, Zhao Zhao felt as if the sky had fallen. "Why did this happen?!"
He threw himself on Damian, desperately trying to find evidence that he was still alive. "Aaaaaah, System, you lied to me! Didn't you say they would be alright? How could you lie to me?!"
The system urged urgently, noticing this was the first time it had seen its host so emotionally affected. "Host, I'm not lying to you. They'll all be alright in the end, and... don't you have a resurrection spell?"
Zhao Zhao's expression remained blank as she stared at Damian's charred and lifeless body, "Resurrection spell..."
He wiped away his tears. Yes, he had a resurrection spell; his brother still had a chance.
[Take him to the royal tomb, place him in the golden coffin at the center of the tomb, and then use your resurrection spell.]
He paused, then cautiously asked, "You still remember the resurrection spell... right?"
“…Hmm.” The system’s words calmed Zhao Zhao’s panicked mind. Not daring to delay, he tugged at Ailiya, who was crying beside him. When she ignored him, he turned to pull at the dazed Lu Sien.
Lu Si'en looked down at him, her voice, though trying to soften, remained cold and hard, "What are you doing?"
"Can we...take...take my brother to the royal tomb?"
"The royal tomb?" Lu Si'en was stunned again. He hadn't realized that he was going to go there too...
Just two days ago, they were still arguing and bickering with each other.
As a result, the once vibrant and alive person is now lying stiffly on the ground.
It all felt like a nightmare.
He smirked, not wanting to frighten Zhao Zhao. "That's true, keeping it in the castle all the time isn't a good idea, is it?"
Immediately, at his command, someone came to move Damian's body.
"Wait! No! Where are you taking my son?!" Aria stood by, holding him tightly and refusing to let Damian leave.
Lu Si'en looked at her, her eyes devoid of warmth. "You didn't love him when he was alive, so why are you pretending to be a loving mother now?"
"take away."
"woo woo woo woo……"
After the progenitor fell into slumber, the castle was always ruled by the prince, and no one would dare to disobey Lu Sien's orders.
Immediately, Damian's body was brought to the royal tomb and, at Zhaozhao's urging, was placed in a golden coffin.
So hasty and heartbreaking, Lu Si'en remained silent throughout, not saying a word.
It's a pity that my father, eldest sister, second brother, and fifth brother are all gone.
Unfortunately, Damian died during the time when he wanted to earnestly implement good governance and be a good prince.
He watched silently as Damian was buried, grief welling up within him.
Many people came to the royal tomb, but the crowded throng was unusually quiet, without making a sound.
Zhao Zhao, who was standing silently to the side, sat cross-legged behind the golden coffin and silently chanted the resurrection spell.
He was hidden by the golden coffin, and no one noticed his small figure.
Only when the golden coffin began to radiate golden light, like a towering cross, did the stunned group of vampires scatter like startled birds.
"Golden light? Golden light! How did it suddenly reappear here?!" someone shouted, startled by the familiar light.
Golden light slowly shone on a vampire. Whether it was psychological or something else, the person instinctively screamed and ran away, instantly turning the scene into chaos.
"Jin Guang has killed someone again!"
"Aaaaaah... Run!"
"Your Highness, you should leave here quickly!" A vampire noticed that Lu Sien was still there as if he was looking for something, and urged him to leave.
Lu Si'en, his face grim, shook his hand and said, "Get out of here..."
What about Little Hill?
The light from the golden coffin showed no sign of expanding. Having witnessed the "spectacular" sight of the tower, he didn't care at all; it was nothing more than this rotting flesh.
Now, all he could think about was Hilgavin, whom he hadn't seen in the first place.
As the golden light reappeared, most of the vampires fled.
Only he and Aria are still here.
He didn't know how much damage Jin Guang had done, but he no longer had the mind to care about this woman.
Where is his little Hill?
“Hilgarven!”
His cold voice concealed his anxiety. He searched the entire underground of the royal tomb with great speed, but could not find that familiar figure.
Suddenly, his eyes sharpened, and he looked straight at the back of the golden coffin, where a small corner of clothing was inadvertently revealed in the golden light.
Upon discovering this fact, Lu Si'en had no other thoughts besides worrying that Zhao Zhao would get hurt, and rushed over without the slightest hesitation.
"Hilgarven! Do you want to die?! Stay here and don't make a sound!" As soon as he entered the golden light, his body was burned again, but he still held on and pulled Zhao Zhao to try to get him out.
Zhao Zhao was now focused entirely on the resurrection spell. Sensing something amiss in the outside world, she instinctively unleashed a beam of light, knocking Lu Si'en out of the golden light's range.
The golden light here is much stronger than that in the tower. Lu Si'en only went in for half a minute before losing several pieces of flesh.
Lu Si'en's eyes were red; he was so nervous that he didn't notice how well Zhao Zhao was thriving in the golden light.
Only when Aria stopped him from rushing in again did he regain his senses. "Get out..."
Aria had stopped crying, and her face remained as calm as ever. She said, "Can't you see that Hilgarven is perfectly fine?"
"On the contrary, if you go in again, you'll probably come out lying down."
She glared at him, her eyes so calm they seemed eerily mocking his foolishness.
Lu Si'en stared blankly at Zhao Zhao without blinking, "...Is that so..."
The boy in the golden light had a serious and calm expression, and was very holy and sacred. The originally murderous light seemed to have been tamed by him.
Lu Si'en had a feeling that things weren't that simple. He looked at the coffin again, and hope and fighting spirit rekindled in his eyes.
Aria watched quietly, her clenched fists revealing her turbulent heart.
The two watched and waited, and finally, after an unknown amount of time, the golden light disappeared. Lu Si'en quickly stepped forward and hugged the exhausted Zhao Zhao. He had so many questions to ask this seemingly ordinary little cub.
With a loud "plop," Lu Si'en and Zhao Zhao turned around simultaneously. It was Ailiya who had pushed open the coffin lid.
"Ah!" She screamed as she looked at the person lying quietly in the coffin, and tears welled up in her wet eyes once again.
"I've recovered!...My body has recovered!"
Zhao Zhao also perked up and hurriedly urged Lu Si'en to take him there.
Lu Si'en suppressed the turmoil surging in his heart and took Zhao Zhao to see it. In his ears were Ailiya's joyful sobs and the laughter of the cubs.
All he could see was Damian's restored flesh and blood and steady breathing.
He came to life.
A tear fell onto Zhao Zhao's arm again. Zhao Zhao looked up in surprise, smiled, and reached out to wipe away Lu Si'en's tears. "Good boy, don't cry."
This was the first time I had ever comforted an adult with such composure, but it seemed to work quite well.
Lu Si'en wiped away her tears, her expressionless face returning to its usual aloofness.
He patted Zhao Zhao's head and praised, "It was Little Hill who saved Damian, wasn't it?"
Zhao Zhao looked into his gentle eyes, smiling mysteriously. He put a finger to his lips, looking mischievous, and said, "Brother, you have to keep it a secret~"
Lu Sien paused, then finally nodded. Zhao Zhao then looked at Aria, whose eyes were still fixed on Damian. Before she could say anything to remind her, Aria took the initiative to say, "Since you want to keep it a secret, then I'm not the kind of vampire who doesn't know his place."
As she spoke, she turned her head and bowed deeply to Zhao Zhao, "Thank you... for saving Damian."
……
The system said that Damian would not wake up immediately after being resurrected; he would remain asleep for a while longer, perhaps a month, a year, or even ten years.
Although Zhao Zhao was disappointed, she was relieved that her brother eventually came back to life.
Damian was taken back to the castle and placed back in his coffin in his room.
This matter was temporarily put to rest. After settling his family affairs, Lu Si'en, without even having time to treat his injuries, had to deal with matters concerning the human race.
After all, the golden light from the tower's cross spread another mile. Although it wasn't as terrifying as the first time it spread, it still caused a lot of chaos.
Before leaving, a blood servant brought him fresh blood. Lu Sien paused, recalling what had happened in the dark jungle. In a daze, he seemed to hear the cries and pleas for mercy of the humans again.
"...No, thank you, I won't drink it."
His lips were pale, his face was exhausted, and his body was still covered with large, hard-to-heal burns. Yet, he refused to drink any blood to replenish his energy.
"elder brother!"
Zhao Zhao ran out of his private room, and Lu Si'en quickly picked him up, her voice gentle, "Didn't I tell you to get some sleep first?"
The cub wasn't wearing shoes, and its fair, tender feet were a little cold. Lu Si'en's large, warm hands instinctively held them to warm them.
Zhao Zhao hugged his neck and said in a muffled voice, "But brother, you haven't rested even with such a serious injury."
Lu Si'en remained unmoved. "I am an adult, a prince. At this critical juncture, the people of humanity must come first. I cannot rest."
He paused, then said, "Besides, isn't this what little Hill has always wanted to see? Now his brothers are trying to be good princes who care about the people, so little Hill, are you happy?"
“…Happy.” Zhao Zhao’s tears soaked Lu Si’en’s collar again. Lu Si’en stroked his head to comfort him. After a moment of tenderness, it was time for him to leave.
"I'm leaving."
"Alright." Zhao Zhao didn't stop her anymore and gestured for the servant who had been carrying the blood to come over.
Zhao Zhao took the blood and shoved it near Lu Si'en's mouth, saying, "Brother is being disobedient, he's so old and still picky about food."
Lu Si'en forced a smile, enduring the churning in his stomach and the discomfort, and drank the cup of blood.
Vampires who drink blood recover faster.
Zhao Zhao was satisfied and smiled, "Alright, let's go then~"
"...It's me, not us..."
"No, I'm not afraid of the golden light! I have to go through it, I have to!!!"
Unable to dissuade Zhao Zhao, Lu Si'en eventually took him along.
