After nightfall, it didn't get cold in the slightest.

Vera sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes softly watching as Li Meng leaned over the unusually large velvet bed that belonged to him, and his mouth was purring, obviously, he was already asleep.

It can be said that Lemon inherited all the virtues of his father and mother, which is especially reflected in his physical appearance......

For example, although Li Meng, who is under Vera's careful care, usually eats a little too much, huh...... You may weigh a little bit more......

However, he has a fat face that most women can't refuse...... His handsome facial features, inherited from his parents, and his fleshy figure, look ...... It's cute indeed......

Vera couldn't help pinching Li Meng's face, muttered to herself, and said softly: "Brother, don't get lost again......"

After a few more glances at Lemon, Vera reluctantly stood up and walked out the door—as if with the help of Lord Theodore, who had ordered that she and her brother Lemon be allowed to go to the interior of the castle after Master Theodore had left her and Lemon's original residence that day.

Entering the castle shows that Grand Duke Gloia treats her and Lemmon as guests like the "students" who came to Blackbrath as hostages.

So far, their lives have a certain amount of security......

Even if he didn't work every day, at the beginning of each month, Grand Duke Glia would ask his butler to come here and deliver a full box, almost 200 silver coins, as a month's living expenses......

This means that Li Meng no longer needs to go to the castle kitchen to help, and Vera does not have to go to the castle to compete with the maids for work......

That money looks like a lot...... And a lot!

For Archduke Grea, these silver coins may have been just a small part of his endless wealth that could be ignored at will......

But this little bit of randomness will not be wasted by Grand Duke Glia every month for no reason......

And the reason why Archduke Glia did this, Vera also guessed a little...... Perhaps compared to this silver coin, which can be earned back at any time, Archduke Gloa should be more concerned about the loyalty of Lord Theodore......

Although this sudden favor caught Vera a little off guard, it was ......

But...... In any case, this is a good thing.

Moreover, there are not many people who are as gentlemanly as Lord Theodore......

With his help, perhaps, there is really nothing to be afraid of......

As if thinking of something, Vera's face flushed, and then she lovingly stuck out her tongue and left Limmond's bedroom......

The moonlight swayed quietly by the window, and the occasional birdsong outside the window added a bit of life to the silent night.

Li Meng was still asleep, and after falling asleep, of course, he didn't notice his sister Vera's departure...... I didn't notice that the moment Vera closed the door, the doll cat that she saw when she woke up in the morning slipped in quietly......

At the same time, after the doll cat was lying in the shadow of Li Meng's bedroom, a small shadow flashed outside the window!

I saw a pair of little white hands, gently opening the window, and Anne, who moved lightly, quietly landed on the blanket, and then, she raised her head and looked at Li Meng who was lying on the bed, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and she smiled like a little fox.

Anne walked up to Li Meng's side, her hand brushing his cheek slightly, and she couldn't help but pinch it.

Li Meng snorted in pain, and his hand subconsciously swept over his face, like using his hand to drive away mosquitoes that wanted to wake him up from his sleep, and then turned over and continued to sleep.

Anne looked at Li Meng's sleeping appearance, and her eyes became softer and softer. Finally, she couldn't help but stretch out her hand and gently rubbed Li Meng's hair.

"You're my first friend since I became like this, Lemon...... Thank you...... My sister, she, after I became like this, didn't want to pay attention to me......"

After becoming a Bloodline, Anne inherited powerful Bloodline abilities from Glia. For example, manipulating objects through the air, being able to easily read the thoughts of others, and...... Through spiritual interference, human beings with weaker souls become their own spiritual puppets......

Bloodlines generally awaken their innate abilities after experiencing blood hugging, such as talking to dark creatures (rats, cockroaches, bats, etc.), or enhancing their physique and memory......

Ordinary bloodlines, awakening at most two talents, can be called talented......

And Glia and Anne, after going through the blood, both gained three abilities...... And, the first two of them are the same.

This is a legacy imprinted in the soul......

It is said that the natural ability of the third blood of Gloya is a combat type talent, and that kind of talent is very powerful and rare. But Anne inadvertently knew from the envy in Glia's eyes that her "charming" blood clan talent might be stronger than his combat talent......

However......

Anne's gaze dimmed for a moment—she didn't want this natural ability, and it was this natural ability that had temporarily lost both souls when she saw her father and sister, and this was still due to their new divine power......

And the others, including the servants who served her in the Black Thorn Keep, would become motionless puppets who could do whatever they wanted when they saw her eyes......

And this is what causes me to be lonely......

Thinking about her inheritance innate ability, Anne shook her head, and then said to herself to the sleeping Li Meng, "Good night, see you tomorrow." ”

With that, she turned and walked to the windowsill, ready to climb out and return to her bedroom......

Suddenly, her body trembled violently, an inexplicable panic lingered in her heart, Anne looked at the sky in horror, and found that the moon in the sky had a strange blood red when it didn't know when!

A splash of bright red instantly bloomed on that golden yellow, and the whole moon turned a transparent bright red...... It's the same color as your own eyes!

An alarm rose in Anne's mind, but before she could react, she lost consciousness......

......

"Hmm...... It's glaring...... Did Sister Vera not close the curtains before leaving?"

Li Meng got up from the bed, rubbed his troubled eyes, and looked up to find the light that disturbed his sleep.

Just as Li Meng sat up, he suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and a familiar figure was standing there opposite his bed. Facing the somewhat strange moonlight, Li Meng could clearly see that there was a pair of scarlet eyes staring at him, cruel and bloodthirsty......

A breeze blew outside the window, and Li Meng was completely awake, holding his breath in fright, and the wind blew through Anne's long silver hair, causing a ripple in the air.

Li Meng asked tentatively, "Annie, is that you?"

Anne didn't answer, just walked towards Li Meng in silence, a sense of danger climbed into his heart, Li Meng struggled to get up, but found that he couldn't move, and even turned his head with great difficulty!

At this time, Li Meng's eyes suddenly saw something that made him understand a little - Anne's raised little hand held it weakly...... This may be the reason why he can't move......

Anne floated to Lemon's side, and Lemon saw a terrible smile on Anne's face—an expression even more terrifying than the people he had secretly seen in his homeland before who had died in the Monster Forest.

So, Li Meng was so frightened that he closed his eyes tightly.

He could even clearly feel Anne's exhaled snort brushing over his pajamas, and the hands that couldn't help but pinch his chubby face in the morning were gently holding his head at the moment.

The hands, small, long, and ...... Any heat.

Li Meng couldn't stand the cold, and couldn't help but tilt his head back......

Suddenly, Li Meng felt a heart-rending pain in his neck!

He even suspected that his neck was going to be broken!

At some point, Anne suddenly erupted two sharp teeth and sank deep into Li Meng's neck...... The wound had been bitten, but not a single drop of blood had fallen.

Through the bright red moonlight, you could see that the blood flowed into Anne's mouth through her suddenly elongated teeth.

Li Meng struggled to open his eyes, and found that Anne's large, bright, crimson pupils were flickering with mesmerization...... And satisfied?

This is the last image that Li Meng saw when he fell into a coma due to blood loss. A pair of blood-colored eyes, and the same bright red blood moon outside the window......

The next morning, Lemon woke up as before, and this time he felt unusually awake and weak......

When he woke up, he found that Anne had arrived in his bedroom, not knowing when.

She was sitting on the edge of Li Meng's bed, looking at him with a smile.

Li Meng rubbed his eyes, propped up his arms, leaned on the pillow, and looked at the little girl in front of him a little unrealistically.

Anne winked mischievously, "What's wrong? Nemon, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Li Meng moved back guardedly, raised his hand and reached for the place where he had been bitten yesterday, only to find that there was no wound at all!

Don't...... Last night, did you really have a nightmare?

Li Meng, who was nervous, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with some fear: "I'm scared to death, I had a nightmare last night." ”

"What nightmare?" Anne saw the unnaturalness on Li Meng's face, and scratched his unkempt hair very casually: "It should be that you don't adapt to the new environment, poor little one." ”

When Li Meng heard this, he jumped up from the bed and said angrily: "Who said I am small? I am not a little one! Aren't you taller than me? You can call me a little one? ”

Anne pursed her lips and coaxed helplessly: "Okay, good, I was wrong, Li Meng is not a little guy." ”

Li Meng nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and his face was full of anger, as if he had defeated the great demon king who appeared in the fairy tale: "Since you already know that you are wrong, then I will forgive you......!" It's useless to just apologize, you have to compensate me with candy!"

"Good ......"

Anne replied in a coping manner, and inadvertently, a scarlet light flashed through her charming eyes......

The doll cat in the corner of the wall shrunk into a ball, lest "Annie", who had been sitting here all night, notice its presence......
