As for what's left, it's all about taking precautions.

After all, once she reaches the next world and truly acquires the soul fragment, she can go all out against that powerful force.

With that in mind, Ying Zhao shared her thoughts with Zhu Que.

Zhu Que nodded but reminded Ying Zhao to prioritize her own safety.

He then held her close, sharing a lingering kiss before reluctantly letting her go.

Watching Ying Zhao's receding figure, a sense of longing filled Zhu Que's gentle eyes, making him even more eager for their reunion in the present world.

What both Ying Zhao and Zhu Que didn't know was that outside the spiritual artifact in the current world,

Bai Rui was sitting in front of the artifact, his brows furrowed, his eyes filled with indecision and conflict.

Ju Mang, returning from outside, sighed upon seeing Bai Rui in such a state, pulling him into a comforting embrace.

In a gentle voice, he consoled, "How long have you been sitting here? If you can't let it go, then go ahead and do it."

"But..." Bai Rui, looking at Ju Mang's doting and indulgent demeanor, felt a pang of guilt.

Ju Mang leaned down, gently kissing Bai Rui's crown, and whispered with a smile, "Be at ease, I'll always be by your side."

When Ying Zhao awoke again, she found herself in a dimly lit room that seemed to be a hidden basement.

White candles encircled her, casting eerie shadows.

Numerous meticulously arranged skulls adorned the walls in front of her, with cryptic symbols painted on the floor.

Even the candles on the table, used for illumination, were carved into the shape of skulls.

She glanced at the shelves lined with old, vintage-looking books.

Ying Zhao dismissed the notion that she might have reincarnated as a dramatically eccentric teenager.

Standing, she approached a mirror framed with intricate black patterns.

Ying Zhao examined her appearance in this world.

After seeing her reflection, she sighed in relief; at least her attire seemed reasonably normal.

The reflection showed a person clad in a restrained black suit, with immaculately styled hair.

Silver-framed glasses sat on her nose, and she wore pristine white gloves.

Her eyes were slender, her facial features refined, and her lips pressed tightly together.

Her skin appeared strikingly pale, exuding a cold and austere demeanor.

The only incongruity was her eyes: a faint hue, almost a light grey, which seemed at odds with her otherwise Eastern appearance.

Slightly frowning, Ying Zhao noted the quiet surroundings, presuming she'd be left undisturbed.

She then asked Xiao Bai within her Sea of Knowledge to transfer the storyline of this world into her mind.

Initially, observing her ordinary suit amidst the mysterious ambiance, Ying Zhao had suspected the original soul was involved in some dark cult.

However, after understanding the plot, she realized the truth was far from her initial assumption.

Unexpectedly, this miniature world revolved around vampires.

Yet, the vampire lore here differed from what Ying Zhao previously knew.

This wasn't a medieval setting but a modern one.

Vampires blended into human society, their clans well-concealed.

It could be said that modern humans are entirely unaware of the existence of vampires, perceiving them as mere legends.

Over the years, the second great war, aside from the Holy Wars, erupted amongst the vampires.

As is widely known, the First Great War nearly obliterated the entire second-generation of vampires.

This subsequent war was targeted, a confrontation between the Hidden Alliance and the Demon Feast Alliance.

After this battle, both major alliances suffered substantial setbacks.

They never truly recovered, whereas neutral clans began their gradual rise to prominence.

The Giovanni clan, for instance, renowned for their business acumen, became moguls in several regions.

Take, for another example, the Hestia clan, which controls vast territories of dark empires.

But irrespective of the clan, all have adapted to living in secrecy, evading the public eye.

The protagonist of this world is an ordinary young girl named Jian Jinghan.

The overarching narrative seems to be a typical love story between a vampire and a naive, sweet-natured girl.

Browsing the storyline in boredom, Ying Zhao found it rife with clichés.

Indeed, any vampire romance seems inevitably intertwined with the unique, sweet scent of a maiden's blood.

Similarly, in this world, the female lead's blood is said to possess an alluring sweetness, making her particularly attractive to vampires.

It's only due to the scarcity of vampires in the H nation that she remained unharmed.

Until one day, while outing with friends in the suburbs, Jian Jinghan stumbled upon an elegant and antique villa.

She was captivated by its magnificent garden, refusing to leave despite her friends' entreaties.

It seems the heroines of any world are far from ordinary, oblivious to the basic courtesy of not trespassing.

Her friends departed, leaving her, with innocent romanticism, to venture alone into the villa, supposedly to admire its blooms.

She thought perhaps an adventure awaited.

Subsequently, Jian Jinghan's wishes were granted when she met the villa's owner, Dumps.

Dumps hailed from the enigmatic Capadosian clan of vampires and was a vampire prince.

However, he simply introduced himself to Jian Jinghan as a European businessman temporarily residing there for work.

Dumps exuded elegance, and his strikingly handsome appearance was undeniable.

He immediately caught the female lead's attention, and the two struck up a delightful conversation.

Naturally, his interest in her was primarily piqued by her tantalizing blood.

However, after conversing for a while, Dumps unexpectedly found the young girl to be quite intriguing.
