Seduce Herinos? The protagonist of the novel?

Hearing Future’s preposition, Ji Ning couldn’t help but feel unwilling. hiyxN9

Although he didn’t have any experience of love, he had never imagined falling in love with a man and now he was being asked to actively pursue one?!

Future ignored his silence and continued with a cold voice,【Otherwise please correct the plot in time. If Herinos is not introduced to Flora then your soul will be destroyed. Wish you all the best.】

After cutting off contact with Future, Ji Ning fell silent, wondering how he could save the plot without going down the route of seducing the male protagonist. After a while, he raised his head and said to Herinos.

“I can promise to dance with you, but not now. I am Miss Flora’s bodyguard and have to keep her safe, please let me go back.” KgRhC

“You’re saying the reason you look after her is just to guarantee her safety?”

Herinos raised his eyebrows, a playful look on his face as he looked at Ji Ning with a deep gaze. After a little bit, he smiled and said meaningfully, “So that’s the case.”

Ji Ning didn’t understand what he was thinking. He pushed his hand away and said coldly, “Can you let me go?”

“Sorry, it was me who wasn’t thinking carefully. I apologise for my rudeness.”

Herinos courteously let go of Ji Ning and said, “I’ll walk you back. When you are assured that she is safe, I’ll ask you to dance with me again.”

Ji Ning didn’t reply, turning to leave the garden maze. Hopefully Herinos would follow after him, so he could find an opportunity to introduce him to Flora and get the plot back on track.

The two of them returned to the ballroom of the masquerade. With a glance, Ji Ning found Flora in the middle of the dance floor.

Flora was still dancing to the gentle and melodious music played by the orchestra with the strange gentleman from before. The two of them cooperated tacitly with movements almost perfectly in sync. They looked so good together that the other dancers had slowed to watch them, enjoying their dance. v 6BhP

A happy smile shone on the girl’s pretty face and her eyes were soft as she looked at the man, as if she already held a favourable impression.

This made Ji Ning, who wanted to seduce her, feel a little guilty. He cautiously observed the strange man to see who he was, and found that under the bright lights of the dance floor, he looked a little familiar.

“Now we have returned.”

Herinos had put his mask back on, not wanting to show his true face to others. He stood beside Ji Ning and gently held his wrist. sT8R3j

“Since you’ve confirmed that the young lady is all right, why don’t you fulfil your promise to me?”

Ji Ning glanced at him, then turned his head back towards Flora. He was desperately trying to find an excuse to introduce the two of them, when Herinos said abruptly, “You haven’t told me your name yet.”

Before Ji Ning could answer, a loud scream came for the crowd, followed by the strong scent of blood. There were several shrieks of horror as people fled the scene, leaving a large open space in the ballroom.

A blood soaked woman fell to the ground, her eyes glazed and mouth open in its last breath. There were two deep wounds on the side of her neck that bled profusely. A pale vampire stood beside her, his mouth covered in blood. He panted, licking the blood from his lips as he gulped down the last of the blood in his mouth. Kpr3j2

Some extremist vampire had infiltrated the dance.

As a vampire hunter, it was Ji Ning’s duty to eliminate such low level vampires. He threw away the mask on his face and pulled out the silver shortsword he had hidden in his text in paragraph. He rushed towards the vampire and swung the silver blade.

Seeing Ji Ning’s face, the vampire seemed to recognise him as the famous genius hunter and tried to flee. He was incredibly nimble and must have belonged to the speed class of vampires. Even Ji Ning was unable to kill him on the spot, but he still managed to stab him in the arm.

“Help me protect her.” qeKd54

Ji Ning quickly said to Herinos before pursuing the wild vampire.

He trusted Herinos to protect Flora because he’d read his backstory. In the novel, the blood prince also hated low level vampires that attacked humans so he felt assured that Herinos would take care of Flora. He normally wouldn’t have handed Flora over to a stranger so casually, but this was a good way for them to get to know each other.

Herinos looked slightly startled, as if he was surprised by Ji Ning’s trust in him. However, he soon nodded and obediently walked over to Flora, who was still in a state of shock, and started chatting with her.

After a few minutes, Ji Ning had disposed of the extremist vampire and returned to the masquerade banquet. Many of the guests had run away and only a few remained, including Herinos, Flora, and the strange man who had danced with Flora. sgIx8X

“Are you alright?”

Flora was distressed by Ji Ning’s bloodstained clothes. Although she trusted Ji Ning’s skills, she couldn’t help but feel worried seeing him like that.

“It’s alright.”

Ji Ning wiped the blood from the blade of his sword and put away the weapon, “He’s been dealt with.” kMoJdl

Flora smiled, “That’s good, you’re very strong.”

“It’s my duty.” In order to maintain his character, Ji Ning remained indifferent even in the face of her compliments. He nodded slightly to Herinos and said, “Thank you for taking care of her.”

“Actually I didn’t do anything, just exchanged a few words with Miss Flora.”

Herinos smiled, “So you are Ji Ning, the famous vampire hunter. I’m honoured to be able to meet you.” 4n5 sN

The vampire was honoured to meet a vampire hunter. The words felt so insincere that Ji Ning didn’t bother to respond.

Although the name ‘Ji Ning’ was unusual in this kingdom, people had been immigrating from the Eastern continent for decades so no one was suspicious of his origins.

Since Herinos had met with Flora, Ji Ning communicated with Future to confirm that he didn’t have to target Herinos. With a sense of relief, he noticed it was getting late and thought it was time to take Flora back.

“Then I’ll see you next time.” dB5sti

The banquet had ended in a hurry and there was no longer music playing. Herinos didn’t force Ji Ning to stay, “Don’t forget your promise to me.”

“Then we are destined to meet again Mr Dan,” Flora used Herinos’ pseudonym, then paused and looked towards the man who had danced with her, with a little shyness in her eyes, “and Mr Eric.”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Eric? Wasn’t that the prince’s name?

Ji Ning was stunned for a while. He carefully examined the man in the mask and found that, sure enough, it was the second male lead, Prince Eric. Ji Ning had met him once before, when the prince went to the Blood Hunting Association and asked him to be Flora’s bodyguard. l9cOB

Why was he here…

Ji Ning had no idea why the prince was at this masquerade ball. After recognising the prince, he bowed to him, but didn’t reveal his identity. After all, the prince had come in disguise, it was obvious he didn’t want to be recognised.

The prince smiled politely at him and left after saying goodbye to Flora. The girl watched him leave, as if she felt reluctant to part with him. Ji Ning couldn’t help but have a bad premonition when he saw it.

Could it be that Flora already liked the prince? FO589n

Herinos must have noticed that there was something wrong with his expression, as he whispered in his ear, “You don’t only think of Miss Flora as your employer, do you? You like her.”

It wasn’t that he liked Flora, he just had to make her fall in love with him…

Ji Ning said silently in his heart. He continued acting indifferently to Herinos as he escorted Flora back to the mansion.

“Wait for me to find you.” DZH3Pu

The blood prince said to him with a smile.

In the days that followed, as he promised, Herinos often came to visit Ji Ning at Flora’s mansion.

Ji Ning didn’t want to fight Herinos, but that didn’t mean he was interested in meeting with him. He tried to stay far away from him, but Herinos seemed to see through his thoughts. Every time he came over, he would find Flora first and ask her to call Ji Ning out.

Ji Ning couldn’t help but listen to her requests, so under the smiling eyes of the other two, Ji Ning would sit in front of them with a cold face and folded arms, watching them chat. rbUIRS

“Mr Dan really likes Ji Ning.”

The girl smiled, holding a delicate teacup. She and Herinos had formed a close relationship in a short period of time, but as far as Ji Ning could tell, it wasn’t romantic. She just purely reguarded him as a charming friend of the opposite sex.

“He’s a very intriguing person.” Herinos smiled, not denying it, “I am indeed very interested in him.”

Flora agreed with his statement and chatted with Herinos about Ji Ning with great interest. bndjXM

Up until this point, the plot had remained similar to the original novel, so Ji Ning hadn’t received any more warnings from Future. However, Ji Ning was anxious that Flora’s affection toward the prince was becoming more and more obvious. If things continued like this, he would fail his mission.

Would he really have to seduce Herinos? e0mVwf

“What’s wrong?”

Noticing that Ji Ning was looking at him, the blood prince smiled with a gentle expression and raised his hand to stroke Ji Ning’s hair.

…No, even if liked Herinos, that didn’t mean he wanted to seduce a man.

Ji Ning patted Herinos’ hand blankly and went back to thinking how he could win Flora’s heart from the prince. IenNLz

The plot continued to progress smoothly until one day there was a major turning point.

The Blood Hunting Association was attacked by extremist vampires without warning. The vice-chairman was sucked dry and his blood was used by the extremist vampires to write messages across the walls. The messages threatened that he wouldn’t be the last member of the association to die. All of the vampire hunters would die tragically and humans would become slaves to the blood race.

The conflict between the association and the blood clan had always been hostile, but the death of the vice-chairman was the final fuse, pushing the friction between the two sides into an outright war.

As the association’s top hunter, Ji Ning naturally had to lead the front lines of the battle at all times. This was the same as it was in the original novel, but it meant Ji Ning would no longer be looking after Flora. HmMh 8

He sent his sister to a safe place and asked Flora to take care of her while he was busy fighting low level and extremist vampires. Because he knew Flora would one day become the blood queen, he deliberately avoided killing the friendlier vampire clans to give him some leeway in the future. After all, while she was immortal, he was not.

Because Ji Ning’s hunting was so ruthless, he began to attract the attention of many of the blood clans and was listed as an extreme danger. It was long after this that Herinos finally found him.

“You can’t go on like this.”

Herinos spoke with a serious expression, “If you continue to hunt vampires, your situation will become more dangerous. They will definitely try to kill you.” z6Ulq3

“I know.” Ji Ning said lightly, “But this is my responsibility.”

He had read the original book and knew what kind of dangers he would face. He was aware that soon he would be attacked by a group of vampires who would torture and kill him. But he couldn’t change the plot, he could only choose to continue forward.

“…” Herinos was silent for a while, then sighed and said, “But I can’t leave you alone.”

Immediately after Herinos spoke, Ji Ning felt a sudden pain in the back of his neck as Herinos knocked him unconscious. d2Qobg

When he woke up again, he found himself in an unfamiliar bedroom. The room was decorated in dark colours giving it an elegant but gloomy appearance. His clothes had been changed for comfortable pyjamas and all of his weapons had been taken away.

Had Herinos kidnapped him?

Ji Ning almost couldn’t believe it. He lifted the quilt and tried to get out of the bed but was stopped by a tug on his wrists. A thick chain connected his arms to the wall, no matter how hard he pulled on it, he couldn’t free himself.

When a squeak, the door was pushed open and Herinos walked in, no longer wearing his human appearance. Although his face was just as handsome, his dark hair was much longer, his complexion pale and his eyes a deep red. His gaze was deep and cold, only when he looked at Ji Ning did he reveal a hint of softness. ekZRCm

“Awake?” He asked, “Are you feeling okay?”

Ji Ning was still a novice actor, so for a few seconds he was so stunned he forgot he had to react. Quickly, he realised he should be shocked and angry so looked at Herinos with glacial eyes. With barely suppressed anger in his voice, he asked.

“Are you a vampire? Not only that, you’ve abducted me?”

“I’m sorry.” Herinos sighed softly. He walked over to Ji Ning’s side and stroked his cheek, “My real name is Herinos, I am one of the princes of the blood clan. I’m sorry Ji Ning, I deliberately hid this from you.” Aw35nL

“You’ve been lying to me?”

Enraged, Ji Ning grabbed Herinos by the collar, the chains on his wrists jingling.

“I’m sorry. I wanted to tell you the truth, but I knew how much you hated vampires and never knew how to explain it to you.” Herinos smiled bitterly, “I didn’t want to be hated by you.”

“It’s already too late for that.” Ji Ning’s expression was carefully blank, “Let me go and I’ll pretend this never happened.” ncpI 8

Herinos grabbed his hand and pleaded with him, “I can let you go, but you have to promise me you won’t hunt down any more vampires. They’re about to make you a priority target to kill. You’ll be in serious danger!”

Ji Ning looked at him without speaking. The blood prince sighed and shook his head slowly, his voice low.

“You probably don’t know but when you’re listed as a target for removal, not only you, but everyone around you will be killed. Your sister, Miss Flora, and your friends will be killed because of their psychotic revenge.”

He looked straight into Ji Ning’s eyes, uncharacteristically serious, “Even if you don’t care about your own life or death, you have to think about them. I know you’re powerful, but in such a situation, can you really protect all of them?” B2KrCe

“…”

Ji Ning lowered his head and clenched his hands slightly. Herinos watched his reaction and hugged his body gently, his voice softening as he said to him.

“Just listen to me this time, okay? If you stay with me, both your friends and family will be safe. I won’t harm you.”

“Why should I trust you?” Ji Ning raised his head, his eyes frosty, “Don’t forget, you’re also a vampire.” PmkTyO

Herinos said slowly, “I thought that since we’ve spent so much time together, you could at least see me as your friend…”

“Since you’ve taken me here,” Ji Ning said, “That’s no longer possible.”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

In the end, Herinos didn’t release Ji Ning.

Ji Ning remained locked inside the room. Not knowing what was going on outside made him very anxious. D9 Oc4

According to the plot of the original novel, the fuse had been lit between the Blood Hunting Association and the blood clan, and their conflicts would soon escalate into a war between humans and vampires.

Until that time, he should have been killing vampires on the front line, to the point where he is considered one of the vampire’s biggest threats. His original ending was to be murdered by a group of extremist vampires.

Originally, he had planned to finish seducing the heroine Flora before that, but now the plot had undergone major changes. He had been trapped here by Herinos, with a powerful barrier sealing the room. He was the third male lead, no matter how strong he was, he couldn’t outperform the male lead, so he had no chance of escaping.

If he couldn’t complete his mission, he would die… U8wQZi

Ji Ning curled up on the bed and pulled off a necklace from around his neck. He opened it using a hidden clasp to reveal its hollow inside.

There were two small photos inside the necklace, one of his sister and one of the heroine Flora. This was a prop he had prepared in advance in order to seduce Flora. While he would pretend to have no intentions of letting Flora see it, when she ‘by chance’ discovered it, she would know the feelings in his heart.

But before he had the chance to use this item, he had already been imprisoned here by Herinos.

Ji Ning felt a little gloomy. He was about to close the necklace and put it back around his neck when a hand grabbed his wrist and snatched it from him. dYoDxh

The only person who could have entered this room was Herinos. Ji Ning immediately turned to grab the necklace back, “Give it back to me!”

Herinos opened the necklace and saw the photos inside. The smile on his face slowly faded, his lips thinning into a flat line.

“You really like her…”

He tore Flora’s photo from the inside and threw the necklace back to Ji Ning, “Given it back to you.” YoOdUX

“Give me back her photo.”

Ji Ning grasped at Herinos’ sleeve to ask for the picture back. Photos in this era were very precious and he had barely managed to get that one. If it was taken from him now, he would probably never manage to get another one.

“You shouldn’t have kept her picture.”

Seeing how emotional Ji Ning was, Herinos’ good temper disappeared completely. He held Ji Ning’s shoulder and said in a low voice, “Miss Flora is engaged to Prince Eric. Do you want to keep a photo of the prince’s fiance?” udCpcQ

What…?

Stunned, Ji Ning could only stare at him blankly. Seeing the expression on his face, Herinos couldn’t bear it and finally told him what had happened.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

After Ji Ning had disappeared, the conflicts between the Blood Hunting Association and the blood clan continued to escalate. Both sides had suffered heavy casualties and extremist vampires had begun to attack civilians. The disputes soon turned into a large scale war between the kingdom and the blood clan.

As the war progressed, Flora’s relationship with the prince continued to heat up. As the heir to the throne, the prince had to lead by example and often went to the front lines. Flora became a field nurse and helped wounded soldiers inside a makeshift hospital. When they got engaged, it was partly to boost morale to inspire the people to persevere to win the war. fHsPFe

So far, this plot had completely contradicted the original novel. Ji Ning received a second warning from Future to say his mission to seduce the heroine Flora had completely failed.

Under normal circumstances, Ji Ning would have had his soul scattered, but the system operator judged that the main responsibility for the plot’s deviation was not Ji Ning, but Herinos. It was Herinos whose choices caused the series of changes that derailed the plot, so Ji Ning was offered a last chance to save himself.

【Capturing Herinos is your last resort.】Said Future,【This time, do you choose to accept or not?】

「…I accept.」Ji Ning had no choice but to agree. nK71kM

But, how should he capture Herinos?

Ji Ning looked at the man in front of him with complicated eyes.

He had never thought about how to pursue a man…

【There’s no need for you to do anything.】Said Future,【You can just go with the flow, because—】 3Lnb8B

An ice cold kiss suddenly fell on Ji Ning’s forehead. Herinos hugged him tightly, pulling him in close as he whispered into his ear.

“It’s impossible for you and her to be together.”

“So…can you please look at me.”

【He already holds deep affection towards you.】 tRgdlK

“Regardless of the past, being able to meet you here again is one of the greatest fortunes of my life.”

Inside the villa, Herinos held Ji Ning’s hand, his dark red pupils shining with a gentle smile as he pressed a light kiss to his fingertips.

“I don’t mind if you don’t like me at the moment, I just want to have a chance to court you. Ji Ning, do I have your permission to pursue you?”

He carefully held Ji Ning’s hand and looked at him with such passionate eyes that Ji Ning’s heart trembled and he felt a little overwhelmed. He took a moment to collect himself before replying, “I never said that you couldn’t…” XIrB1e

“Thank you.”

It was rare for Ji Ning to look so dazed, and Herinos found it unbearably cute. He was nearly overcome with the desire to kiss Ji Ning, but for now he was only a suitor and didn’t have the right to, so he restrained his inner desires and said to Ji Ning, “Good night, I wish you good dreams.”

Because his injuries hadn’t fully healed, Herinos transformed back into a bat. Flapping his wings, he left Ji Ning’s room.

Ji Ning lay back down on the bed, thinking about the past and the way Herinos had treated him just now. He sighed and muttered to himself in a low voice. 2Ta5dQ

“Am I doing something wrong…”

In a nearby room, the white haired angel curled up on a soft bed. His wings were wrapped around his body, leaving only his quiet sleeping face exposed.

Inside this completely unfamiliar environment, he should be full of vigilance, but this was Ji Ning’s home. It was filled with the faint fragrance of Ji Ning’s body, so faint that ordinary people couldn’t even distinguish it, but for Ark it was comfortable enough to help him fall into a peaceful sleep.

He even had a dream about Ji Ning. kyixEw

Inside the dream, he was a high ranked soldier, a central power within the war who had endured the battlefield for many years.

Wherever he went, his unit was invincible, and wherever he left, only a sea of corpses and blood remained. His glory was built on the backs of countless unidentified deaths.

Within this dream, Ark was indifferent to death. He believed he was just carrying out his tasks and abiding by his duties. As for the lives and deaths of others, it had nothing to do with him, so he wouldn’t take it to heart.

But suddenly one day, his world changed. He was given a precious mermaid; fragile and gentle, beautiful and seductive. The moment he saw him, Ark’s heart was deeply attracted to him. sy4TJd

In front of the mermaid, he appeared childish and overwhelmed. Although he liked the mermaid a lot and would stay with him whenever he had the time, he was afraid he would ruin the weak mermaid and took great care to keep his distance every time they met.

However, the mermaid enjoyed closing the distance between them. He said that he liked the scent and heat of Ark’s body. He liked when Ark hugged him and stroked his fish tail, and would often touch Ark’s wings and hair.

Ark’s didn’t reject the mermaid’s intimacy. Rather, he was infatuated by the feeling. Whether it was a hug or touch, as long as the mermaid offered it to him, he was happy to accept it and even yearned for more.

He didn’t understand anything about love affairs, but instinctively wanted to possess everything about the mermaid. tu6XiH

These kinds of thoughts grew day by day and only became more intense. One day, as he held the mermaid inside his pool, he couldn’t help but give the mermaid’s lips a light kiss.

“What are you…?”

The mermaid’s eyes widened slightly in surprise. Ark himself was also at a loss, uncertain why he made such a move, “I’m sorry…”

“No, you don’t have to apologise to me for your actions.” 2p6Kxq

The beautiful mermaid laughed and brushed his fingers against his lips. Flicking his tail, he moved closer to Ark and wrapped his arms around the back of his neck, tilting his face up slightly.

“I said before, I belong to you. You can do whatever you like with me.”

Ark pursed his lips, “I don’t want to hurt you.”

“It won’t hurt me.” The mermaid leaned closer with a smile, “It’s called a ‘kiss’. You want to kiss me because you like me, like this…” trveNJ

He pressed his lips against Ark’s in a lingering kiss. Ark’s heartbeat skyrocketed and his hands tightened around the mermaid’s waist. He quickly matched the rhythm the mermaid set and kissed him back enthusiastically.

He liked kissing his mermaid.

Because it made them feel closer.

The joy and love in his heart made him subconsciously wish for more. His kisses became deeper and more demanding, until the mermaid started to squirm and push gently against his arms, which woke him up from his intoxicated passion. tcB2dm

The mermaid sank deep into the water to catch his breath. After a while, he resurfaced. Touching his swollen lips, he said with a smile, “You’re so…”

“I’m sorry.” A faint blush rose on the angel’s face. He lowered his head and said softly, “If you don’t like it, I won’t do it again in the future.”

“I don’t hate you doing that to me.” The mermaid stroked his cheek and gently comforted him, “Your possessiveness reassures me, it’s proof that you like me.”

“En.” o0buae

Ark held the siren’s hand and looked at him seriously, “I like you very much.”

“I’m glad.”

The mermaid looked at him, his pale eyes filled with stars. His voice seemed to carry a strange magic as he whispered into Ark’s ear.

“A mermaid is a creature that needs love to survive.” JoXZj8

“I want to have all your love. Please love me more, so that I can never leave you again and you will never leave me, honourable Ark–”

The angel abruptly woke from his dream.

“…”

He sat up and touched his hand to the front of his chest. His heart was beating extremely quickly, as if it still retained the throbbing infatuation from inside his dream. The seductive voice of the mermaid seemed to echo in his ears, preventing him from going back to sleep. 1xrPad

Was that…his past with Ji Ning?

Ark couldn’t stop himself from leaving his room to find Ji Ning. However, when he reached the boy’s door, he didn’t want to disturb Ji Ning’s sleep. He paused for a moment, then turned to return to his room, when he was distracted by a light coming from Fu Ji’s bedroom, along with the clicking sounds of a keyboard.

Please support our translators at chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

Seeing that his companion wasn’t sleeping, Ark knocked on the door lightly and entered after getting permission. Seeing the red haired man was still busy in front of his computer, he asked him softly, “What are you doing?”

“I’m contacting friends to ask who can help us with the mission in the republic of Anmoya.” dzEA8m

Fu Ji turned half a circle in his swivel chair and gave a careless shrug.

“The destination of that spaceship was the republic of Anmoya, so that will inevitably be where the Mo Ling Empire focuses their search. We can’t go there, so I’ll have to transfer the task to someone else. Otherwise, giving up that mission is tantamount to destroying my reliable name.”

He looked at Ark strangely, “What about you, why are you running around in the middle of the night.”

“I had a dream just now and couldn’t fall asleep.” Ark explained honestly. 7V08FC

“Oh, a dream…” Fu Ji stroked his jaw. Watching the expressions on Ark’s face, the corners of his lips suddenly pulled up into a wicked smile, “Did you dream of the little fish? A-”

He stopped abruptly and swallowed the words ‘spring dream’ in time, scared he would be eviscerated on the spot.

“…”

Ark didn’t answer, but his wings trembled suddenly, inadvertently revealing his true thoughts. bORJLZ

Seeing this reaction, Fu Ji laughed again. He then restrained his mocking attitude and asked his friend seriously, “Ark, you really like the little fish, right?”

“…Yes.” Ark nodded his head.

Fu Ji said, “Then you are also aware that it won’t be easy to pursue him.”

“You can see that each of his suitors is scarier than the last. Neither the ghost nor the vampire are easy characters to deal with, and I just received information that the crazy Emperor of Mo Ling has sent more soldiers and spies to search across the interstellar, all just to find your little fish.” qC3R1B

“If little fish was your lover, you would be competing against the entire Mo Ling Empire. When you think about what you’re up against…”

A chill ran through Fu Ji’s body just imagining such a scene. Wrapping his arms around himself he said, “Otherwise why don’t you wait for the little fish to get together with someone else? Then, while the Mo Ling Empire is after that guy, you can use it as an opportunity to snatch the little fish—okay, okay, I was just kidding, don’t look at me like that.”

Ark restrained his icy gaze and whispered, “I don’t want him to be possessed by others.”

“I get it. Who told you to fall in love with him…” BmYU97

Fu Ji scratched his head and deeply felt that the old saying was right, people in love are unreasonable. Ark knew what he would face in the future but still desperately wanted the favour of his sweetheart.

“Okay, don’t think about the future. You still need to find a way to capture him first.” Fu Ji spread out his hands and said, “You have two rivals in love, you’ll have to get rid of them to have a chance.”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

“…Will Mr Herinos have to be killed too?”

There was a hint of hesitation on the angel’s handsome face, but a dazzling light had already condensed on his fingertips. He didn’t have a bad impression of Herinos but he could kill Huo Wuling without losing any sleep. s5xHj7

“I didn’t mean kill, I meant you want to stop them having a chance of seducing the little fish!”

Fu Ji broke out in a cold sweat and quickly waved his hands to stop Ark, “You have to work hard to make sure the little fish likes you instead of anyone else.”

“…What should I do?”

Ark extinguished the light on his fingertips and pursed his lips, looking a little uneasy. In aspects of love, he always felt very inexperienced and didn’t have any confidence in himself. aGdYsZ

“I have a plan for you.”

Fu Ji turned his laptop screen towards Ark.

“The little fish said he wanted to go to another country to avoid attention. I think this newly opened interstellar paradise would be good.” He explained, “This paradise is outside the Federation and occupies a large area of over a dozen planets. You can play around as much as you like and I’ll give you advice on how to make him fall for you.”

After Herinos left, Ji Ning fell into a light sleep, but it felt like it hadn’t even been a few minutes before he was being nudged slightly. nA3tfM

“Teacher, teacher…”

The low, youthful voice of a young man called out to him. Ji Ning frowned and opened his eyes from his fitful sleep. A blond boy’s handsome face suddenly appeared in his blurred vision.

…Was that Lai?

After recovering from his surprise, he sat up from the bed and saw that he had returned to the Necromancer’s tower. He wore a black robe and somehow his terminal had been returned to his wrist. TqAx3G

【Long time no see! You are welcome to continue the game.】

The string of words flashed quickly in front of Ji Ning’s eyes.

【During the last game, you accepted Lai as your disciple and carefully taught him knowledge of the black arts.】

【Lai has made amazing progress, you are very pleased with his talents. It hasn’t taken him long to master basic black magic and he is about to enter the next stage of learning.】 O1xiwt

【But before that, it is important that you make a dark staff for Lai.】

【Each dark mage has their own staff. The more powerful the staff, the more pure the magic the mage casts can be. A well made staff can even magnify the power of a spell, allowing the mage to release more powerful magic than they are capable of using alone.】

【The materials for making a powerful staff are very precious. Although you have acquired most of them through various channels, there are still a few core items missing.】
