The relationship between Cui Si and Murphy is quite delicate at the moment.

Murphy has made his intentions clear, hoping to have a romantic relationship with Cui Si, but she seems to keep him at arm’s length.

She isn’t purposefully playing hard-to-get, she simply worries that her tumultuous past could cause trouble for Murphy.

Despite the fact their blood pact was long dissolved, she can’t help but act protectively towards him.

Despite these worries, Cui Si does not seem to mind Murphy’s occasional overly affection gestures.

As she has said herself, she does not dislike him.

Given that she has not firmly rejected Murphy’s advances, certain boundaries are implicitly acceptable.

In the office, Cui Si lets Murphy mode his arms around her slender waist.

Murphy enjoys her scent – a mixture of alcohol and midnight gratification.

His hands behave decently, not wandering anywhere inappropriate, finding a delicate balance between respectability and indecency.

This is the limit of what Cui Si can currently accept, any further step would lead to spiritual energy upheaval.

The good news is that beneath Murphy’s youthful vampire exterior is a mature and cunning soul.

He understands that rushing things often leads to failure, so he is not taking this relationship lightly, he is serious, and therefore, he is patient.

Mature men know that good food should be savoured, not gulped down.

“Please, be serious, I’ve got something important to say.”

Cui Si says helplessly.

“You talk, I’m listening.”

With a gentle sway of his body, Murphy lays his head on Cui Si’s shoulder, causing her to subtly move with his gestures.

It was like a dance, he enjoyed this sense of control, he even thought he was quite good at it.

“Phemys has had a successful inquiry in the Blood Covenant Knight Order.

Lord Pa Ying has spent several days listening to everything that happened in Cardman City, he asked in detail about the impact of the Ten-Year War on the Blood Vulture Clan, and the current situation after Salockdale’s eternal silence.”

“Our plans for the future and development path have been informed to the lord.”

Cui Si placed her hand on Murphy’s, which was resting on her stomach, her movement fluid and graceful, matching Murphy’s groove as she softly spoke:

“Phemys told me, despite Lord Pa Ying not asking directly, he most likely already knows the truth of her origin.

I suspect that he might have known our actions of stealing the Seed of Life have not escaped his knowledge.

To be honest, this concerns me.”

“So you’re afraid that all of this is orchestrated by Lord Pa Ying behind the scenes?”

Murphy asks gently:

“Do you think that Lord Pa Ying knew about Salockdale and Phemys, but didn’t intervene, effectively condoning Salockdale’s madness.

Until the previous Blood Vulture Duke took a step towards the subspace, it might have been the final straw for Lord Pa Ying?”

“Yes, that’s what I think, it’s not simply a speculation.”

Cui Si sighs, her voice full of worry:

“From an objective standpoint, I believe Salockdale created a unique organism in Phemys, in an attempt to complete the bold plan I envisioned for him years ago.

We were trying to find a cure for the inherent flaw of vampires.”

“As you’ve seen, Phemys cannot claim anyone as her own, but she can birth a new vampire in the way humans do.

In this sense, Salockdale and my plan has succeeded!”

“As the uncrowned king of the vampire race, I refuse to believe that Lord Pa Ying, having lived from the ancient times till now, hasn’t thought of this.

He is the most accepted vampire leader amongst other civilizations, surely he hopes that we can peacefully share the world with other races.”

“The appearance of Phemys represents this possibility!”

“This might be the primary reason Lord Pa Ying turned a blind eye.

Moreover, he helped Phemys complete the final breakthrough of the Black Iron Rank power and personally presided over her Silver Trial.”

“Isn’t that better?”

With a voice full of contentment, Murphy responds to Cui Si, whispering into her ear:

“Lord Pa Ying’s acceptance of Phemys in this way also prevents others from threatening us using this matter.

It’s an indication that he has forgiven your outrage conduct in the past.

Now that Salockdale is dead, you are Phemys’s guardian.”

“If you can make Phemys give birth to a genuine vampire, then Lord Pa Ying will undoubtedly be pleased, he might even reward us.”

“So …

are you ready?”

Cui Si finally shares her reason for coming tonight.

She stops moving and turns around to face Murphy, speaking with a serious and solemn voice:

“You are the most suitable person I could find for Phemys to marry and complete this …

”

The Blood Vulture Duke soberly proposes a possibility, but it seems that she did not realize that her words had angered Murphy.

Before she could finish her sentence, a suddenly furious Murphy roughly pushes her against the wall.

What follows is a kiss.

But it is not a gentle kiss.
