Vampire, Ding Yumin

Chapter 43 Vampire, Ding Yumin

"Boss, another twenty skewers of lamb, please!"

Ling Tianyu is considered a wealthy man, but he still has a special fondness for roadside stalls.

Crayfish, grilled skewers, and cola—it's simply perfect!

Delicious and affordable, it's a godsend for foodies!

Holding a piece of peeled lobster meat in one hand and taking twenty freshly grilled lamb skewers from the owner with the other, he was enjoying his meal immensely!

"Young man, you have quite an appetite!" The barbecue stall owner was an elderly woman in her forties or fifties, who worked quickly and efficiently.

She considered herself to have seen many competitive eaters, but she was still extremely shocked to see Ling Tianyu's inhuman appetite.

The warrior's physical condition gave him an exceptionally good appetite; Ling Tianyu even thought he could eat a whole cow!

Ling Tianyu was enjoying his meal when he noticed a ripple-like mental fluctuation spreading not far away, faintly carrying a hint of anger.

…………

Let's turn the clock back ten minutes...

A girl in a high school uniform turned from a bustling street into an alley, then glanced back without leaving a trace.

Her silky long hair flowed freely, with a pretty braid in the middle that draped over her cascading hair, making her look dignified, elegant, noble, and refined, yet gentle and virtuous.

While her figure isn't exactly curvaceous, it's just right, possessing a unique beauty.

With cherry-like lips, a fair complexion tinged with a faint pink, delicate and petite ears, and eyes that sparkle like stardust, her unadorned face radiates youthful vitality.

With looks like that, she would definitely be a campus beauty, the dream goddess of countless boys.

After she walked away, a man pretending to read a newspaper in the distance looked up menacingly and followed her, acting as if he didn't care.

His face was unusually pale, a color that no normal person could possibly have.

…………

After winding through several bends and getting quite a distance from the bustling market, the pretty girl slowed her pace and said to the man behind her.

"Now that you're here, show yourself!"

This clear and gentle sound was like the tinkling of a mountain spring.

"Haha, since you've found out, I won't hide it anymore." The man with the newspaper behind him sneered and casually tossed the newspaper aside.

His voice was hoarse, like the sound of an old, broken-down car engine starting up, a complete opposite of the girl in front of him.

"Interesting. Why did you create the opportunity for me to make a move when you knew I was following you?" the newspaper man asked with some interest.

"Does that mean you wouldn't make a move if I were in a crowded place?" Ding Yumin asked coldly.

The man reading the newspaper paused, then said respectfully, "Miss, I sincerely invite you to join the vampire family."

"Is this your personal decision or the family's plan?" Ding Yumin said coldly.

"This is our plan, please don't make things difficult for us, Miss!"

The man reading the newspaper remained respectful, but his tone revealed a hint of determination.

"I've said before that I just want to live a peaceful, ordinary life. Why are you all forcing me like this!" Ding Yumin said, then seemed to remember something. "Does Uncle Feng know about this?"

"Boss Feng is unaware of this, so please don't put us in a difficult position, Miss. Otherwise, don't blame us for using unconventional methods."

"Once Miss successfully transforms into a vampire, I believe Boss Feng will have no choice but to accept his fate!"

The newspaper man finally revealed his true thoughts: it was a choice, but in reality, it would be best if Ding Yumin was willing, but if she wasn't, he would force her to agree!

"Enough talk, let's make our move!" Ding Yumin's eyes rippled with a strange mental energy, and she launched the first attack.

This is the mental fluctuation that Ling Tianyu sensed.

"At such a young age, a mid-level mind-based cultivator—truly worthy of being a young lady from our vampire clan!"

The man reading the newspaper looked approving, showing no sign of panic.

"Psychic magic is ineffective against us vampires! We're not like lowly humans who need to slowly condense star trails!"

Despite what the newspaper man said, he was quick in action.

In fact, he was also extremely wary of Ding Yumin's spiritual system.

"roar!"

The man reading the newspaper curled his lips into a smile, revealing bloody teeth, and his fingernails grew at a visible rate...

At this moment, the newspaper man's appearance is only missing a pair of bat-like wings to resemble the vampires in TV dramas.

"A shock to the soul!"

The man reading the newspaper shuddered, his head throbbing slightly, but he quickly recovered and his speed barely decreased.

"Fire Sizzles, Bones Burn!"

Ding Yumin took a deep breath and calmly released her second awakened magic type—fire magic.

Fire-type attacks are indeed quite powerful for their level, but they are somewhat ineffective against vampires of the Battle General level.

The newspaper man slightly turned his body and avoided Ding Yumin's ball of flame.

"Miss, you'd better obediently complete the blood ritual with me!"

The newspaper man eagerly stretched out his claws and pounced on the girl in front of him.

In normal circumstances, she lacks the ability to deal damage with mind-based attacks. If she were to use curse-based attacks, the newspaper-reading man in front of her would be no match for her at all.

Her fire element cultivation was too low; unless she reached the intermediate level and mastered the [Fierce Fist], she would barely be qualified to fight the newspaper man.

"Is it only possible to liberate the mind system?" This thought flashed through Ding Yumin's mind.

In truth, she had no choice. If the newspaper man caught her and forced her to undergo the blood ritual, turning her into a vampire who was neither human nor ghost, it would be worse than killing her.

"Whoosh~" Ding Yumin stared intently at the newspaper man rushing towards her, and just before she was about to unleash her spiritual talent, a male voice rang out.

"I never expected to run into something like this just by going out for a meal... Hey you, you guy with kidney deficiency, aren't you ashamed to bully a girl like that?"

"Who is it!"

The man with the newspaper looked toward the source of the sound with his narrow eyes and saw a handsome and sunny boy walking toward them.

"Kid, I'm warning you, don't meddle in other people's business. This place is dangerous; you can't handle it!"

The man reading the newspaper looked at Ling Tianyu with apprehension. He had only recently broken through to the Battle General level and was not absolutely confident in dealing with a mid-level mage.

The worst part is that if he calls for help, he might also end up in trouble here.

In fact, he planned this operation entirely on his own, and he only had one chance. Otherwise, once Ding Yumin passed the message to the boss, he would not have had a second chance to strike.

Putting everything else aside, the boss definitely wouldn't let him off easily; it's a miracle he survived.

They, the lowly henchmen, were well aware of Ding Yumin's standing in the boss's eyes.

If it weren't for these reasons, he wouldn't have been so easy to talk to under normal circumstances; he would have just swatted at him with his claws.

"Oh? What if I insist on interfering?" Ling Tianyu's expression was ambiguous, and emerald green light emanated from his hand.

"Vine Whiplash!"

"Intermediate level in the plant category?"

The moment Ling Tianyu released his magic, his cultivation level was also revealed without a doubt. The newspaper man was secretly delighted. If it were a mid-level lightning, fire, or even light magic user, he might be somewhat wary, but what could a mid-level plant magic user do?

【Kunzhilin·Prison】?

LOL, it's completely countered by Shadow!

Their own clan has reached the pinnacle of mastery over the shadow element.

His so-called prison couldn't hold him back at all!

As for whether Ling Tianyu might be a mid-level dual-elemental cultivator, the newspaper guy never even considered it.

Aren't all the mid-level geniuses with dual academic systems in high school staying obediently with the aristocratic families?

Why would I want to cause trouble for that vampire?

The newspaper-wearing man confidently revealed his sharp claws, slicing through the attacking vines.

puff!

How is that possible!

The moment the newspaper man's prized claws touched the vines, it was like piercing steel.

Even a mere low-level plant-based magic was proving somewhat difficult to deal with, even for a vampire warrior like him.

"Curse of Haze!" Taking advantage of the newspaper man's moment of surprise, Ling Tianyu activated the curse.

Please give me a tip and votes!
