228 Ch. 228 Vlinder (1/2)

Xiao Yue glanced at her brother with a pleading look. Xiao Yang smiled gently at her, then took his hand off his younger sister's head.

”Go.”

Xiao Yue's face became cheerful and radiant again when she got her brother's permission. She turned around to look for the source of the voice that was still calling out her name.

Her name was not Niken, but for some reason, she felt Niken was her name.

Meanwhile, Yang Shuo gritted his teeth at the sight of Xiao Yue leaving. He firmly believed he had blocked the mind-linking connection between the black knight and his inamorata.

He did not expect that, with just one peck, Xiao Yang destroyed his blockade so that Xiao Yue could hear the black knight's voice.

Yang Shuo realized he had made a grave mistake. He deliberately took advantage of Xiao Yang's presence and made him a tool to persuade Xiao Yue to accept this arranged marriage. He did not expect that the Xiao Yang he was using turned out to be foreign soul energy.

”It seems your game ends here, O vampire king.”

Xiao Yang turned around and looked straight into his eyes, which shocked Yang Shuo.

He had activated his stealth abilities, so no one would notice his presence nor see him. Even Xiao Yue didn't feel his presence at all, but how could Xiao Yang see him? And again, how did that man know his identity as the vampire king?

”Who are you?”

Xiao Yang did not answer, but his black eyes turned purple, which caused Yang Shuo to gasp in disbelief.

”You…it can't be. How come you are here? Since when are you here?”

”Since the beginning.”

”And you didn't do anything even though you knew I tricked the girl?”

”She looks happy here, which is why I didn't do anything. I also let you use me and control me. However, she no longer felt comfortable here. You think I'll sit around with doing nothing?”

Yang Shuo didn't speak for a moment. Not long after, a crooked smile adorned his face and was followed by a burst of evil-like laughter.

”Haha, haha. I did not expect it at all. I made a phantasm lord as my prey—no wonder her blood is so sweet and irresistible. It turned out, a vlinder has chosen her to be its master.”

Xiao Yang did not respond with a smile or anger. His expression was currently flat, and he had no intention of answering Yang Shuo's conclusion.

”Tell me. What can you do to save her from me? The current Phantasm Lord is still alive, and I don't feel any strength from you at all. You're still in a cocoon form. You won't be able to save her. You won't be able to get her out of here.”

After saying that, Xiao Yang's body became transparent before finally disappearing in midair. Simultaneously, the sky became cloudy, and there were cracks here and there, indicating that this illusory world was about to be destroyed.

Yang Shuo wondered what kind of guardian spirit other than the vlinder was still in the 'sleeping' phase within Xiao Yue's astral.
