"Okay, now's a time to relax. Let's stop talking about such serious topics. We're family now, so we should talk about things that only family members talk about, right?"
Ludwig tilted her head: "So, what shall we talk about?"
...
Lingxi pondered for a moment:
"Sweetie, you know you're a 'descendant of ancient warriors,' right?"
Ludwig nodded, about to say something, when she was shocked by Lingxi's words.
"Actually, me too."
Lingxi blinked.
"Hehe, to be precise, I used to be. Just like you 'used to be' but 'no longer' now. In a way, it's a kind of fate that we, as descendants of an ancient civilization, could become a family and a mother and daughter, right?"
"I'm just like you. By completely severing ties with my original body and identity, I've finally rid myself of this curse..."
Lingxi sighed, cupped the warm water from the bathtub in front of her chest, and let it drip through her fingers.
"The descendants of Atlantean warriors—it is an honor passed down through generations, but for those of us who are powerless to bear it, it is undoubtedly a curse."
"This bloodline will forever lead the descendants of warriors to the path of saving the world. Hundreds of such warrior bloodlines have continued to this day, and among these bloodlines, those descendants of warriors who have awakened their blood energy are all unable to obtain an ordinary life and ordinary happiness. I am one of the countless descendants of warriors who have awakened their blood energy."
"As you know, the awakened descendants of warriors are destined to embark on a path to become 'heroes.' Their lives are destined to be extraordinary, and they are destined to experience far more than simple, ordinary happiness..."
"After I became a princess, I was freed from the curse. I felt an unprecedented sense of relief. Why should someone else have to save the world? I'm not some ambitious person, am I?"
Lingxi's blood-red pupils were filled with a gentle smile.
“Lulu, do you remember what I just said? There are countless bloodlines of warriors that have continued to this day. Becoming a hero and saving the world should be done by those who want to be heroes; as for me, I want to ensure that the bloodline of the ‘Yang family’ that I was born into is no longer cursed by the ‘fate’ buried deep in the bloodline.”
She ruffled Lochina's hair and then smiled at Ludwig.
"Obviously, I did it in a rather peculiar way."
"This is my personal reason. The lineage of warriors that I, Yang Lingxi, belong to has now been completely severed. In this way, at least the descendants of the Yang family will no longer be driven by the bloodline of warriors to embark on a 'heroic' path that does not belong to them, like countless others."
...
"and many more."
Ludwig seemed to remember something.
"I've lived in the East for decades and investigated my biological parents for many years... Based on the information I've gathered, combined with my recovered memories..."
Lingxi's mischievous gaze swept over Ludwig's face, and she chuckled.
"Oh, stop guessing. 'Yang Jin'er's' biological parents are the famous Yang family, renowned wealthy merchants in Chongchuan City. She's heard about them since she was little..."
Lingxi deliberately paused for a long time to whet everyone's appetite.
“That’s right, my parents are direct descendants of the wealthy Yang family. My great-grandmother’s sister, Yang Jin’er, who disappeared in Europe, is now my daughter, Lulu.”
She gently stroked Ludwig's face, which was flushed red from the steam, and chuckled to herself.
"My little darling, should I call you Great-Auntie now... or my sweet daughter?"
Chapter 222 Double the reward
Regardless, Ludwig was very relieved to learn that her parents had lived a long and healthy life and continued their bloodline.
After many years, a weight has finally been lifted from her heart.
...
"Hmph, legally speaking, there is no human blood in my body anymore, so of course I am your de facto daughter."
Ludwig avoided Lingxi's teasing gaze.
"Alright! If you keep making fun of me, I'm going to get angry."
...
"Good good."
Lingxi smiled and moved back to Luoqina's side to wash her hair.
"Luoqina is also very sleepy, so I'll take her back to sleep first."
Before leaving, Lingxi glanced back at the queen in the pool with a smile, her eyes less frivolous and more tender.
"Work hard, Your Majesty. I'm really looking forward to the day when the future you promised comes true."
"Then, our whole family will go shopping together, eat, drink, and have fun together."
...
Ludwig watched her figure disappear behind the door and couldn't help but sigh.
"Sigh, she has really changed a lot."
Ruo Keke, who was fixing her hair, said:
"Really? I don't think there's been any change. She still loves teasing girls."
Ludwig smiled: "Now that Coco says so... it's true."
Lingxi's lifelong wish is to live each day in an ordinary yet joyful way.
Like Hilliot, she was swept up by fate onto a path that went against her conscience; but they did not give up easily and completed their journey without shame.
Now, they are able to become ordinary girls, turning an eternal curse into a blessing—
With only this one difficult final step remaining, they will be able to walk carefree to the end of time in this world where they can have each other forever.
To help them realize their almost-realized dream, and also for the heavy responsibility they bear...
Queen Ludwig of the Night will throw herself into her destiny without hesitation, and completely change the world.
"Alright, that's the end of our break."
The silver-haired girl stepped out of the bath, and the maid behind her dried her off, preparing to begin the complicated nursing procedure.
"It's time to teach the ungrateful Spire Group a lesson."
...
...
...
Snapped! !
Bang!
An angry mob, holding "Energy Blood" drinks, stood in front of the Spire Corporation's branch gate, relentlessly hurling them at the magnificent entrance.
The beverage bottle landed heavily on the floor-to-ceiling glass door, the pale red liquid splattering everywhere, and emitting an unpleasant, pungent odor under the sunlight.
"Get out here! Spire Corporation! You bunch of cowards!"
"You're actually giving us this stuff to drink?! Are you trying to turn us humans into monsters?!"
"I knew it! There's no such thing as a drink that can make your physical abilities rival those of a vampire just by drinking one bottle!"
"What are you up to? Come out! Come out!"
The shouts and curses of the crowd were incessant, and every branch of the Spier Group in the world was now surrounded by large numbers of protesters.
Countless protesters took to the streets, holding up signs with slogans to angrily protest against the "shameless, evil, and illegal" business giant Spiel Group.
For a long time, this seemingly refined conglomerate has presented itself to the public as a "compassionate" Confucian businessman, a good partner to the rich and a savior to the poor... Unexpectedly, in the face of such compelling evidence, their hard-earned "good image" has plummeted to rock bottom and been destroyed in an instant.
Suddenly, a man stood on a high place, picked up a megaphone, and began to sing a dissenting tune:
"Gentlemen, the corporation is by no means the heinous criminals the vampires claim! The corporation has created numerous social benefits and provided immense help to the world. Are you all just going to turn a blind eye to this? Do you really have to believe the lies of those vampire monsters?!"
The crowd below remained silent for a moment, then, growing even more enraged, dragged the man down.
"Beat him up! What kind of time is this to still be lying through his teeth! He's been holed up in his own information cocoon all day, has he lost his mind?!"
"Exactly, let's teach those corporate lackeys like him a lesson they won't forget!"
...
That's right—the facts are absolutely certain.
Because right now, backing the Vampire Council is the Human Union Council, a "chatting place" representing the opinions of the majority of humans.
Although this international organization has no real power and is merely a pawn manipulated by a true behemoth, it still possesses immense power unmatched by any other group. For them, ensuring that the vampires' voices are heard is not a difficult task at all.
When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down; when a drum is broken, everyone beats it. Everyone knows how many people the "whale fall" resulting from eliminating a monopolistic "whale" like the Spire Group could support...
Therefore, under the impetus of the Human Union Council, many capitals and forces that had suffered from the oppression of the Spire Group joined this "carnival".
The vampires became the main force behind this "floodgate release," and guiding this flood to its final destination—for the vampire queen, it was simply a matter of going with the flow and things falling into place naturally.

beep - beep -
beep.
As the video call connected, President Spier's face appeared on the screen in front of Ludwig.
This was the first meeting between the vampire queen and this "uncrowned king" of the business world. But judging from the young entrepreneur's face, he showed absolutely no respect for this queen of noble birth.
The vampire queen elegantly sipped the blood in her glass, coldly covering her lips with a smile.
"This is one of your favorite tactics as businessmen... 'information warfare,' you know. How does it feel to reap what you sow?"
Spier said coldly, "Enough, Vampire Queen. What exactly do you want?"
Ludwig heard this
His wicked smile deepened.
"It's simple. You will pay the price for all the crimes you have committed. This includes, but is not limited to, all your acts of coveting the power of the vampires and usurping the authority of the vampire queen..."
"Historically, all humans who opposed vampires eventually disappeared into the river of history. Vampires, as boatmen on the river of time, have watched humanity perpetually be destroyed by its own greed... Your Spire Corporation, do you really think you can escape this age-old 'law'?"
"Vampires have never wanted to fight with humans; after all, humans are just one of our 'foods,' and vampires always have a way to continue without humans."
She lightly licked her fingertips and gave a cold smile.
"Vampires prefer to live in seclusion, so they established a rule of seclusion... But since we ultimately broke it, it illustrates a simple and easy-to-understand truth—"
"Vampires are never afraid to confront ungrateful humans head-on, and... they were even prepared the moment they broke the rule of seclusion."
...
After a brief silence, President Spier suddenly revealed an enigmatic smile.
"Ah, I think you've misunderstood, Vampire Queen. The Spire Corporation has no intention of being an enemy of vampires or humans."
"In fact, my purpose is exactly the opposite of what you think. My sole purpose is to create a world where there is no distinction between vampires and humans—"
"So that you too can walk freely in the sunlight."
Chapter 223 Demon
Capilison Spyr is an “incomplete” person.
After being accidentally pierced through the body by his older brother Yin Shang, he woke up in the hospital feeling incredibly "open" – from that moment on, he, who had been very confused since childhood, began to have his own life goals.
He wanted to understand what kind of creatures humans really are.
He believes that once he understands the nature of humanity, he will know why he has always been unable to integrate into his surroundings.
...
Capilison was able to sense this from a young age.
He always felt that he was an outcast, a special being.
No one noticed his subtle mental defect. Even after Yin Shang's Sword of Hesitation completely stripped him of his "kindness," his doting parents failed to detect his abnormality.
And of course, he himself wouldn't think he had a mental problem. Mentally ill people usually think they're not sick, and he's a prime example of that.
This provided ample opportunity for young Capilison to later transform into a "demon"...
Years after being stabbed by his brother, he graduated from high school with excellent grades in this "incomplete" state.
