The night sky on the wasteland was exceptionally clear, and the stars were scattered overhead like silver yarn, and through the gap between the tents, she lay on the white mink blanket, she was wearing a thin layer of green veil, her snow-white skin loomed under the cascading fine veil, and she held a turquoise peacock feather fan in her hand, gently fanning out a soft breeze.

The weather here was very hot and humid, and although she had been running around all day, she felt that it was difficult to sleep when she actually lay in bed, so she had to open her eyes and count the stars in the sky.

At this moment, the opening of the tent suddenly shook twice, and Wan Lan thought that maybe it was the wind blowing, so she didn't pay much attention to it, but it didn't take long for the curtain to continue to shake again.

"Who?" asked Mulan as she sat up, put on a coat and asked a little nervously, but waited for a long time but did not respond. The fact that she had been kidnapped by the bandits in the past had really left a shadow on her heart, so she quickly grabbed the sharp dagger hidden under her pillow and looked at the unusually shaky piece of cloth curtain just now with great vigilance.

After a long while, there was no movement, and she felt that Xu was suspicious again, after all, the bandits were much more orderly after this period of rectification, and there were guards patrolling back and forth between the tents. She had just let her guard down and was about to lie down, but again she was horrified to find that the curtain had begun to shake again.

"Han Lingxiao?"

Although Lan Lan knew in her heart that Han Lingxiao was not such a prankster, she felt a chill at the thought of anyone standing outside her tent right now, except for him.

She made up her mind to pull out the dagger, walked carefully to the curtain, leaned down, and gently pinched the corner of the tent with her fingers. Suddenly, she violently lifted the curtain, and at the same time raised the dagger and stabbed outward, but she saw a dark shadow flying in front of her, and then, a sharp pain suddenly came from her neck.

"Ahh

The heart-rending screams of Wailan instantly resounded throughout the barracks, and the soldiers were all awakened by this miserable sound, and the guards also hurriedly sounded the alarm, and everyone thought that the barracks had been attacked at night.

Han Lingxiao was drinking with Xue He at the time, when he suddenly heard the piercing exclamation of Wu Lan, and choked out a sip of wine. He couldn't help but choke in his trachea, and after glancing at Xue He, the two rushed back to the camp to find out. When he came to the tent of Wailan, Han Lingxiao saw that there was a terrifying blood stain splashed on the curtain, and he didn't care about etiquette, so he lifted the curtain and rushed in, but saw Dilan lying on the ground, gasping in horror, holding the dagger on the ground with her hand, and covering her neck with the other hand, bright red blood flowing down her arm.

At this time, Xiao Heng also hurried over, and he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the scene in front of him.

Han Lingxiao hurriedly rushed forward to help her check the injury, but fortunately it was only a flesh injury, and it did not hurt the major arteries.

"This ...... What's going on?" he used his internal strength to help Talan stop the bleeding as he looked around vigilantly.

"It's a vampire bat!" said Mulan angrily, "What a place!

Seeing that she was fine, Han Lingxiao calmed down and asked the guards to continue to strengthen their patrols, while at the same time asking the soldiers to cover their tents to prevent them from being attacked by bats. Xue He sent someone to bring bandages and hemostatic herbs, and after Han Lingxiao helped her clean up the wound, he carefully bandaged her.

"What about the bat?"

"Run early!" was still angry in her heart.

Han Lingxiao saw that she was in a hurry, so he didn't ask any more.

After bandaging, he was about to get up, but Lan Lan grabbed his sleeve.

"You stay, stay here with me!" she commanded as she looked up at him in a loud voice, her tone non-negotiable.

"I'm staying here alone to accompany you?" Han Lingxiao shook his head and waved his hand again and again after hearing this, "No, no, men and women don't kiss, now this is a military camp, and I'm a big man with you and a girl's family in the middle of the night, and I'm ...... What a system!"

"If Her Royal Highness the Princess is still afraid, how about your subordinates call two soldiers to guard the door of the tent?" Xue He proposed.

"No, I just want him to stay here!" Wan Lan frowned after hearing this, "I'm a princess, why don't you listen to me when you leave Ji Kingdom?"

"Then why don't I sleep outside your tent?" Han Lingxiao sighed helplessly and said with a smile.

"That's not possible, you're a king, how can a king sleep outside!"

"Then why don't we put our king's tent and the princess's tent together, so that the two of them can live separately, and the princess won't have to be afraid anymore!"

"Good idea!" Xue He clapped his hands after hearing this, and then called a few soldiers to set up another tent next to Ling Lan's tent for Han Lingxiao to rest.

After tossing for a while, Han Lingxiao lay down with a little headache, he didn't know if he had just choked on that sip of wine or was made by Wanlan, and he felt that his head was bigger.

"Han Lingxiao?" Wan Lan was still not at ease, so she moved her body vigorously towards the junction of the two tents, and screamed tentatively.

"Hmm. Han Lingxiao agreed in another tent.

Hearing that his voice was very close to her, Wan Lan closed her eyes with peace of mind, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

The vampire bat flew over the barracks, flew onto the white megatooth that towered over the middle of the wasteland, circled its tip three times and landed on a dark shadow beneath the fangs.

The dark shadow pulled a rusty jar out of his sleeve, and the vampire bat opened its mouth, revealing its sharp fangs, dripping a drop of bright red blood, and falling into the jar.

"Hey, hey, hey, I've finally collected a thousand drops of beautiful blood!"

The dark figure raised its head excitedly, revealing a heinously ugly face—a thick round nose with an upturned nose, a mouth protruding forward, and a pair of long fangs at the corners of the mouth.

"With that person's help, I can take on human form!"

She only held the beautiful blood in her arms, as if holding a cherished treasure, spread a pair of huge black wings, and flew into the night sky.

She was deeply attracted by the young voice and heroic figure just now, and she wanted to come to him in human form before dawn, although he was only a mortal with a short lifespan, but she did not mind keeping him by her side and sharing the good years of his life with him.

She flew to the mouth of the dry river, stopped, took a small crystal lamp from her pocket, carefully placed it in the middle of the river, and removed the lampshade, leaving only a small candlestick lit with a green fire.

She waited anxiously, and after a long time, she saw a long black wooden boat gradually sailing in the distance, and a black boat lamp was placed in the bow, and the lamp was lit with a strange green fire......
