The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1616 - 458: I Think It Actually Tastes Pretty Good (3)

He was like her father, tall and reliable, effortlessly knocking down that ferocious Vampire with just an ordinary wooden stick.

Hmm...

Why a wooden stick?

She didn't understand but quickly shrugged it off.

Perhaps it's meant to be a Magic Wand.

The disheveled female Vampire let out a dissatisfied screech, like a bat struck by lightning, spiraling away into the darkness.

Meanwhile, a little girl huddled beside Colin's pants leg was awakened by the scream... actually, she no longer wanted to wake up.

She even wished this dream could continue.

"A hero saving a damsel in distress" was just a layer of sugar paper wrapped around the candy. Everyone knew, what followed was the real story that made hearts race and faces blush.

For example—

She sprained her ankle; couldn't possibly walk back alone, right?

Perhaps...

They might have to rest for a night in the danger-ridden Forest.

With a sense of hazy reluctance, Erin slowly opened her sleepy eyes.

Different from last time, the trustworthy figure in the dream had not disappeared, still sitting quietly by her side.

Looking at Colin, who watched her tenderly, Erin's cheeks lit up in red, instinctively clutching the edge of the blanket tighter around herself.

"Why... are you here?"

If it weren't for the bizarre dream earlier, making her perceive a fusion of dream and reality, she wouldn't have felt so guilty.

Observing the particularly blush-prone "Vampire Knight" lady, Luo Yan smiled warmly, teasing her.

"Didn't you invite me here?"

Erin blushed deeper; she certainly remembered bringing him here, just didn't expect herself to suddenly faint.

She had no recollection of the events afterward.

Including how she ended up lying here and where her Armor went...

Luo Yan couldn't help but reflect inwardly; indeed, first impressions are crucial.

Clearly, it's the same person, yet "Mr. Colin" could evoke her shyness while "Luo Yan" nearly got himself slashed.

Avoiding the mischievous smirk, Erin softly opened up.

"Last night..."

Luo Yan completed her sentence.

"You suddenly fainted."

"Hmm..."

Erin nodded with a blush, her emerald eyes lingering on him, seemingly wanting to confirm it's not another dream, and perhaps hoping for something.

Seeing the metaphorical ripe apple, Luo Yan chuckled, playfully speaking.

"Relax, I didn't do anything to you. Last night, Theresa helped you change clothes, as for me, I slept in the tent next door."

"I, I trust you! I just... want to..."

"No apologies allowed."

"..." Erin reflexively shut her mouth, but the revealed part of her face turned redder, and shrank even smaller.

Luo Yan's mouth corner lifted slightly as he continued.

"How do you feel now? A bit better after sleeping?"

Erin nodded lightly.

Not only better, she felt she never had so much Strength as now, as if the fatigue and pain from yesterday were mere illusions.

She even vaguely sensed she might be stronger than before battling Rolandar...

The Blood Race's power was subtly altering her.

"I... feel much better."

"That's good."

Luo Yan nodded as well, then picked up a flask filled with bright red solution from the side, placing it on the bedside table.

"This is the Magic Potion I concocted for you, go ahead and drink it."

Erin nodded gently without any hesitation, rose from under the blanket, and drank the Magic Potion from the table.

The liquid carried a strange sweetness, transforming into a warmth in her belly, making her feel even more comfortable.

She licked her lips, putting the flask back on the table, her bright eyes looking at Mr. Colin sitting by the bed.

"You seem... very knowledgeable about the Blood Race?"

He seemed to know everything.

Luo Yan nodded frankly: "Learned about it during my time in the Academic State, though I never expected to actually encounter it."

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Erin's face.

"Sorry for troubling you."

"See, you're doing it again... I said not to say such distant words."

Luo Yan shook his head, watching Erin who felt embarrassed with her head lowered, speaking seriously, "And I don't think this is troublesome. Even though I'm not a Knight, I will fulfill promises made. But you, there are more troubles ahead, everything is just beginning... ready for what's to come?"

Upon hearing these words, Erin fell into silence.

Indeed.

The war against the Chaos Apostle continues, and she must conceal her Blood Race identity, continuing to fight under Campbell's name.

Not only that—

After the war ends, endless troubles await her.

However, seeing Colin's face, she suddenly felt there was nothing to worry about, the clouds pressing on her heart all blown away by a breeze.

Think about future matters in the future.

For now, she just needs to accomplish one thing, which is bringing victory back to the Campbell Duchy... not disappointing those who look up to and support her.

Erin nodded sincerely.

"I'm ready."

Luo Yan's face showed a gentle smile.

"Since that's the case, I'm relieved."

No matter if Erin was prepared, he already had three sets of plans ready.
