Chapter 123
Beneath the black umbrella, the girl's face was exquisitely beautiful, her skin pale from lack of sunlight. In contrast, her lips were a tempting crimson that sparked the imagination.
Angus discreetly glanced at her, knowing that behind those lips hid two sharp little fangs.
Jiang Yan lazily held her umbrella, looking down on the weak human as she interrogated him: "Finished with school?"
Strangely, she seemed like a feudal patriarch checking on his young wife-in-training...ALL new chapters on
Angus showed her the advanced book in his hand and calmly replied, "I'm about to be appointed as a professor."
Jiang Yan gave him a sidelong glance. He looked no older than his early twenties; professor indeed, he wasn't even fit to be a head teacher...
But Jiang Yan prided herself on her emotional intelligence, so she kept her thoughts to herself, preserving his dignity.
The Countess hugged her shoulders and commanded with an arrogant yet casual air, "It's time. Come with me."
The human, however, bravely met Jiang Yan's eyes, seemingly protesting his fate as he asked solemnly, "Why me?"
Being questioned, Jiang Yan finally felt like a proper kidnapper, realizing her power. This was more like it; earlier had been too smooth.
She used her umbrella to shield against the dazzling sunlight, blinking mischievously as she replied with firm resolve, "It's fate. Stop wasting time and come with me."

The elders in the castle seemed to be dealing with some important matter and didn't notice Jiang Yan bringing back a human. So, she settled Angus on the third floor where she lived.
The room was clean and tidy, with a south-facing window, though the trees outside blocked most of the sunlight. Clearly, the Countess had put thought into accommodating a human.
Especially noteworthy was the table, where the Vampire Chef had prepared a spread of human food: ham and cheese sandwiches with the crusts cut off, fragrant curry pasta with sautéed onions and potatoes, tender beef stew in rich sauce...
However, Angus's attention was drawn to the other end of the table. Handmade blood-filled pies, crystal-clear crimson wine, blood cupcakes...
To a human, these foods would undoubtedly seem terrifying and grotesque. But Angus caught the sweet scent in the air coming from the food across from him. His deep blue eyes darkened slightly.
Opposite him, Jiang Yan stared intently at the hot food in front of Angus, her mouth watering. Vampires couldn't eat human food; even if they did, it wouldn't satisfy their hunger, nor could they taste the flavors.
Heaven knows how Jiang Yan felt the first time she ate a flavorless meat patty.
Angus suppressed his surging hunger and was about to start eating when he noticed the little vampire's fixed gaze on his plate.
Jiang Yan looked at him longingly: "Human food must taste so good."
Angus paused, then leisurely picked up his fork, suddenly feeling quite hungry.
Even if the food still had no taste at all.
