Is now the time to indulge in the silly antics of children?
Could it be that Lochina is also going to see the Queen?
Moreover, that bed is the Queen and the Princess’s private bed, so why doesn’t she care at all?
Although Yin Shang was full of questions, considering that Princess Lingxi and her maid Ruo Keke were sitting right next to her and ignored her nonsense, Yin Shang understood that he probably didn't need to worry about it.
...
There was another person that Yin Shang almost didn't notice standing in the corner of the room.
She tossed the dagger aimlessly, glancing coldly at him every now and then; it was undoubtedly Ye Liuli.
Finally, with the addition of Yin Shang and Reinhardt, that made up everyone in the Queen's boudoir. These people were about to embark on a journey together to meet the long-lost vampire queen.
...
"You asked when we'd depart... Well, tonight of course. But there's still some time before we leave, and I, Your Highness, need to give you some instructions."
Lingxi shook her finger.
"Although you all have many questions, such as why the Queen disappeared and what trouble I and she encountered... please don't be impatient now. I will explain everything to you slowly on the way. As for now, there is a real problem to solve."
She clapped her hands, signaling everyone to come over.
"That is... to enhance mutual understanding and reduce difficulties in cooperation, so as to avoid being caught off guard and flustered if unexpected events occur on the journey."
"On a journey?" Ludwig tilted her head.
Does that mean we have to walk a long way?
The princess smiled slightly: "Ahem, first of all, little cutie, come over and be a model."
"Huh? W-what? What's going on? What model?"
The princess smiled slyly: "Teaching model. I'm going to explain some basic facts about artifact spirits and vampires. Next, I'll need you as a model to explain the physiological characteristics of vampires. Then, I'll personally model and explain artifact spirits, so I won't trouble Lochina and Solid."
"Huh?! Do I have to take my clothes off—"
Lingxi tapped her: "What are you thinking about? There's a boy here! When explaining the physiological characteristics of vampires, you don't have to talk about 'that kind of thing'!"
...
Only after the princess said that did Yin Shang realize that there were seven people in the group, and he was the only male.
"I mean... couldn't you have just hired a few men as bodyguards..."
Lingxi said, "I don't trust anyone else. Besides, we don't need any guards, do we? We have plenty of combat personnel."
Yin Shang scratched his head: "No, what I mean is... don't you think it's a little weird..."
...
At this moment, Ludwig put her hands on her hips and snorted:
"Do you have some kind of illusion, thinking you're some kind of harem male lead? I'm the main character, give me a break."
Yin Shang retorted, "What are you thinking! I'm clearly worried about my own safety! Look, I'm the only human among all these vampires. Are you using me as emergency food?"
"We have no interest in you."
Ludwig, Ruokeke, Yeliuli, and Lingxi, these four beautiful girls with very different personalities, actually retorted to him in unison.
Yin Shang scratched his head. He thought about it and realized that it made sense. Based on his understanding of these girls, he even thought they weren't interested in men.
Hopefully so. After all, in the eyes of vampires, a human is probably just a delicious fried chicken leg, and it's hard to guarantee that they won't be tempted to eat him.
...
Ludwig snorted and said to Lingxi:
"Your Highness, what benefits would I get from being a model? If there are no benefits, I won't do it."
Lingxi tilted her head:
"Benefits? You're quite the bargainer. But considering the harmony between mother and daughter... I can make an exception and agree."
Ludwig turned her head away: "Don't give me that. I haven't even acknowledged you yet."
Lingxi smiled; she was already absolutely confident that she could control this young lady.
"If you serve as a good teaching model, you'll be allowed to drink my blood..."
She leaned close to Ludwig's ear and whispered.
"Drink your fill, okay?"
...
To maintain its existence, the spirit's body contains a large amount of supernatural power, making its blood essentially a concentrated "power elixir." Anyone who drinks it directly and uses the same supernatural power will undoubtedly experience a qualitative boost in their strength.
"..."
"..."
So, Ludwig didn't even think about it.
"Such a good deal? Deal... Hehe, deal! Don't you dare go back on your word!"
...
"Ugh."
Ruo Keke and Yin Shang both sighed in unison.
This young lady had previously vowed to rebel against the princess, but the other party dealt with her with just a few words.
Because she is often absent-minded, Ruo Keke always doubts whether the young lady is really stupid or just pretending.
Chapter 105 Secrets of the Vampire Clan
"Come here and stand still."
Lingxi led Ludwig, who was dressed in a vampire princess dress, over and made her stand in a place where everyone could see her.
"Being watched by so many people... I'm so embarrassed."
Coco rolled her eyes and said, "Stop it, why are you pretending to be an innocent young girl now?"
Ludwig puffed out her cheeks: "Coco knows I'm terrified of being watched! Otherwise, I wouldn't have used that trick during my live stream... cough cough, it's nothing."
"But... in order to drink the Queen's blood... I'm going to risk it all."
At this moment, Lingxi pulled out a pointer from somewhere and clapped it twice in her hand.
"Ahem, then please all of you keep the following content in mind. This special class at Lingxi is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so time is of the essence and we should not delay."
----------
Silver hair, fair skin, and red eyes
Hair turning white due to loss of pigment is not a characteristic of all vampires, but those with white hair are usually high-ranking vampires with great power and outstanding bloodline.
However, high-ranking vampires are not necessarily silver-haired, but silver-haired vampires are definitely high-ranking vampires.
After the Embrace ceremony begins, if the power received by the recipient is too great and exceeds the body's capacity, but miraculously succeeds in transforming into a vampire, one will be surprised to find that their hair and beard have turned completely white.
This means that under the intense and overwhelming darkness, the body's physiological structure is not only permanently altered, but also loses a portion of the pigment that comes from the mortal body.
This side effect of pigment loss occurs at the time of first conversion, regardless of the strength of the recipient's bloodline.
However, only in extremely severe cases will hair turn white.
Therefore, silver hair is a characteristic that only high-ranking vampires possess, while white skin and red pupils are dominant characteristics that any vampire will have.
Therefore, the pale skin of vampires is not directly related to not being exposed to the sun; and the red pupils are simply because the pupils have lost their color.
The truth behind those blood-red eyes that change color depending on emotions and the use of blood energy is that the blood of the vampire flows behind the eyeballs; the eyes themselves have no color.
Silver hair symbolizes the powerful spiritual strength of high-ranking vampires that transcends humanity, while red eyes and white skin are characteristics that distinguish vampires from humans and that they are proud of.
...
Ludwig: "Don't, don't look at my neck—"
Yin Shang: "Oh! I see!"
Coco: "I wish I had silver hair too."
Ye Liuli: "So, if the first embrace wasn't painful enough, there's no silver hair? I regret it. Can I have the first embrace again?"

Elf-like pointed ears
Vampires have long, slender ears, resembling willow leaves, which is one of their distinctive characteristics.
It has many similarities to the elf ears in fantasy works, but upon closer inspection there are still some subtle differences.
For example, it is not as wide and flamboyant as elf ears, and is usually only twice the length of human ears.
The reason for its formation remains unknown, but what is known is that the "original individual" Hilliot—the progenitor of countless vampires and the eternal queen who rules over the vampires—was Pointy Ears.
We can tentatively conclude that this trait was inherited from her.
The biggest difference between it and a human ear is that it can swing back and forth, possessing muscles that can move like those of a cat or dog. Like the eyes, which can change color, it is an important organ used by vampires to express their emotions.
Besides, it didn't even enhance the hearing of vampires; in fact, its length made them more susceptible to injury during battle. Therefore, the flamboyant earrings commonly worn by vampires today were originally used to conceal wounds before they healed.
However, the vampire queen did not wear earrings because she was almost never injured.
...
Ludwig: "Eek! Don't, don't touch my ears—"
Luo Qina: "Sister Lulu, your ears are so long! Let me taste them."
Coco: "Second Princess! You can't put other people's ears in your mouth! That's rude!"
Yin Shang: "Isn't the point that ears can't be eaten? Wait, can they be eaten?"
----------
Vampire Fang
The most important organ of vampires evolved from human tiger teeth, with one on each side of the upper row of teeth.
Vampires use it as a deterrent to their enemies; with each opening and closing of their lips, a menacing glint reflects from their mouths.
Inside it is a hollow tube that, under the influence of the vampire's dark power, becomes a miniature water pump that draws blood when it sucks blood.
When hunting, vampires first use their sharp teeth to pierce the skin of their prey and extract blood through this hollow tube. Finally, they use the viscosity of the blood to squeeze out more blood by sucking with their lips and teeth.
During feeding, it acts as a water pump, allowing blood to be continuously drawn from the prey and into the vampire's mouth.
This process continues until the vampire is satisfied... or until the prey's last drop of blood is drained.
Incidentally, vampires' saliva has the function of preventing blood clotting, so that the vampire's enjoyment of food is not interrupted.
...
Ludwig: "Awooo, waa ...
Yin Shang: "What if the vampire has oral bleeding?"
Ye Liuli: "Good question, I'd like to know too."
Coco: "I want to too."

[The everyday attire of vampires]
To distinguish themselves from humans who are seen as food, vampires typically dress in elaborate and ornate attire.
Even in modern times, vampires are only trying to solve the cumbersome aspects while keeping it as flamboyant and glamorous as before.
Most vampire men have abandoned many of the elaborate rules of dress, retaining only a limited number of flamboyant styles; while vampire women are unwilling to lower their standards and still incorporate modern clothing and craftsmanship into the making of vampire gowns.
As mentioned before, every vampire has a custom-made suit that accompanies them throughout their life, and the intricacies of this suit could not be fully explained in three days and three nights.
Silk headdresses, lace chokers, metal pendants, leather waistbands... there are dozens or even hundreds of parts in total. Only after careful matching and combination can they form the gorgeous dress worn by the vampire girl.
However, thanks to modern technology and processing, they can now compress dressing into less than an hour, so as everyday wear... it still seems a little troublesome.
Among vampires, there are many female vampires who prefer simple attire, such as Ludwig. But even with her simplified dress, it still takes half an hour to get ready, and the dress still comes with all the necessary accessories.
