Chapter 73: Chapter 73:Back to the Human World
"So, they got away?"
At this moment, the Vampire Lord couldn’t help but ask as she looked at the kneeling Three-Star Sovereign Realm vampire.
"Yes, my Lord."
"They escaped into the human world. Right now, we are at war with the Rinova Empire, and I was afraid to pursue them recklessly and risk implicating you, my Lord."
The male vampire pleaded as the Vampire Lord chuckled.
"A Transcendent Ghoul Lord and two One-Star Sovereign Realm hybrids escaped from all of you?"
The Vampire Lord asked with an amused expression.
Hearing this, the Three-Star Sovereign vampire froze.
His mind filled with countless thoughts.
He felt embarrassed that this had happened, but the trio had managed to escape from a dozen vampires, more than half of whom were stronger than them.
If word of this got out, his Lord would surely be mocked for having incompetent subordinates.
"He must be found alive."
"I don’t know how nor do I care how you accomplish it."
"Bring him back to me."
Her smile vanished, replaced by a cold expression.
"Yes... yes, my Lord."
The male vampire swallowed nervously.
"Incompetent fool."
The Vampire Lord flicked her finger.
BOOM!
The male vampire was blasted out of the room.
His face twisted from the impact as his skull was nearly crushed.
Yet strangely, he felt grateful.
There was no discomfort nor any grudge, he was just happy his Lord had been merciful.
He quickly stood up and hurried away.
Back inside the room, the beautiful woman crossed her legs.
Her finger gently traced the rim of the small table beside her.
On it sat a pristine glass filled with a beautiful crimson liquid.
To vampires, this was fine wine.
To the rest of the world...
It was high-quality blood.
The Vampire Lord picked up the glass and brought it toward her nose, inhaling the scent of the fresh blood.
Her body seemed to rejoice as an expression of pure enjoyment appeared on her face.
"A Ghoul Lord with two hybrids as servants..."
"How odd."
She muttered before parting her lips and taking a sip.
Her eyelids slowly closed as a smile spread across her face.
"So sweet..."
The blood flowed down her throat, carrying a faint spiciness that made her savor every drop.
"I wonder..."
"What secrets do you hold?"
The Vampire Lord murmured as she lowered the wine glass.
Her crimson eyes gleamed with curiosity.
---
Human World.
Rinova Empire.
At one of its smaller kingdoms...
Space suddenly stretched before violently compressing as three figures were spat out.
Ronan, Hesa, and Yen appeared above a waterfall.
Yen hurriedly caught Ronan before he could fall.
"Thanks."
Feeling the soft hand supporting him, Ronan couldn’t help but thank her as yen carefully lowered him onto the ground.
Ronan longed for the day he could finally fly after all being carried around by Yen was...not exactly befitting of the future leader of the Abyss.
Cough.
Cough.
The three looked around, trying to determine where they had arrived.
A massive river flowed beneath the waterfall while a cool breeze brushed against their faces.
The sounds of animals echoed through the forest, mixed with the chirping of birds and the buzzing of insects.
A rather surreal atmosphere surrounded them.
For the first time in a long while, the three felt their bodies instinctively relax.
Hesa carefully observed the waterfall and the surrounding space.
Only after she detected no strange movement did she finally relax.
It seemed Abyssal creatures couldn’t simply enter the human world whenever they wanted.
But another question immediately arose.
Where exactly were they?
"Master... should we... take a bath?"
Just as Ronan sat on the ground, enjoying the peaceful surroundings, he suddenly heard Yen’s voice.
Heh...
Ronan’s expression changed as he looked at Yen.
She was staring at the ground with a slightly shy expression.
Hesa landed beside them and immediately showed interest as well.
Apart from Ronan, who had been a ghoul for quite some time, both women had once been human.
It had been a very long time since either of them had taken a proper bath.
And the river beside them was clean and pristine.
The blue water flowed peacefully beneath the waterfall, while the riverbank was covered with soft white sand, small flowers, and even a few oysters.
For the two women, this might be their only opportunity to bathe for a while.
They hadn’t bathed in so long that they naturally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.
Ronan was about to agree but then his heart suddenly became uneasy as his gaze shifted toward the top of the waterfall.
"It is stable."
Hesa spoke calmly.
"It seems they can’t simply enter the human world through that gateway."
"So we’re safe... for now."
Ronan finally let out a sigh of relief.
"All right."
"I guess after everything we’ve been through these past few weeks, we deserve to rest for a while."
Ronan smiled.
"Let’s take a bath."
But his smile quickly disappeared.
"Erm..."
How should he explain this?
Ronan was currently tied to a tree.
The only piece of male clothing he had managed to obtain in the Abyss from dead human corpses was wrapped around him and tied securely to the tree.
He was facing the vast, lush forest and behind him yen and Hesa were taking off their clothes.
As a Transcendent Realm being, Ronan could hear every movement even from several meters away.
He immediately closed his eyes.
What man could resist this?
Being tied to a tree while two beautiful women were bathing behind him...
Life was so unfair.
Ronan couldn’t help but think that since they had gone through so much together, they could at least bathe together.
Right?
But who would have thought that Hesa would immediately disagree.
And worse...
Yen actually agreed with her.
Hearing that, Ronan almost vomited.
Well...
He couldn’t actually vomit.
But he almost did.
His tiny heart nearly shattered.
Was this really Yen?
Back at the Duke’s mansion, she used to change clothes right in front of him.
But now...
She had actually agreed with Hesa’s plan to tie him to a tree.
Could Yen have changed?
No.
Yen was always a good girl.
It was that damn Hesa!
"Ahhh..."
"You poisoned my little Yen!"
---
While Ronan was having a mental breakdown, the two girls had already entered the pool.
The cool water washed over them, gradually calming their racing hearts as they floated peacefully on the surface.
The pool wasn’t too deep.
At its deepest point, it was only about three meters, so neither of them had anything to worry about.
"Let me help you wash."
Yen’s sudden offer caught Hesa by surprise after all, the two hadn’t exactly started off on good terms but Hesa didn’t object.
She simply turned her back toward Yen, who began gently washing it.
Yen’s soft hands brushed against Hesa’s skin, causing her to let out a small, involuntary moan as she hurriedly covered her mouth while yen giggled.
Hearing the soft laughter, Hesa couldn’t help but smile as the tension between the two women gradually faded away.
For a while, neither of them spoke.
Then, eventually, Hesa broke the silence.
"Tell me..."
"You don’t seem to be an Abyssal creature like him."
"But you were turned by him, so..."
"Who were you before you met him?"
Hesa asked.
The hand washing her back suddenly stopped.
The atmosphere instantly became quiet and tense.
