Chapter 75 - That Stupid Vampire is my Old Gong (22)

TL: Moonlit

Bai Yu looked at the ring in his hand, a trace of warmth flashing in his eyes.

This fool finally thought of proposing to him.

Bai Yu tried the ring on his hand, and it fits perfectly, neither too big nor too small.

However…

“Aren’t you still going to choose a bride?” Bai Yu smiled as he looked at the person in front of him. “I am a man, I can’t bear children, and I’m not a vampire. I also don’t want to share a husband with someone else. It’s probably impossible for me to marry you.”

Bai Yu’s words were filled with irony. This scoundrel in front of him could consider choosing a bride while being with him.

Bai Yu remembered this matter.

A hint of coldness flashed across his face, and he wanted to take off the ring in his hand.

This matter had always been a thorn in his heart, and it was the reason why he had always disliked Shi Yunyi.

Bai Yu could tolerate many things, but he absolutely couldn’t tolerate his man thinking about someone else while being with him…

And he couldn’t tolerate him abandoning him and being with someone else.

His heart was small, so small that it could only accommodate one person, so he absolutely wouldn’t accept his husband having someone else.

Hearing Bai Yu’s words, Shi Yunyi’s face immediately changed, and he hurriedly said, “No, Xiao Yu, it’s not like that.”

Shi Yunyi had never felt so foolish before.

He was just accustomed to this so-called tradition, and he was just going through the motions.

But he had neglected Bai Yu’s feelings.

In these thousands of years, he had never liked anyone before, and he didn’t even know that what he felt for Bai Yu was love.

So he had done many wrong things…

Now, he finally understood his own feelings and realized what he had done.

“Xiao Yu.” Shi Yunyi’s voice carried a hint of remorse. He placed Bai Yu’s hand on his chest and said solemnly, “Xiao Yu, listen to me. There won’t be anyone else, nothing at all. I only like you. I only want you in my life… So, will you marry me?”

Bai Yu lowered his head and lightly bit his lip. Finally, a hint of emotion flickered in his eyes.

He didn’t speak, but Shi Yunyi had already taken the initiative to embrace him.

“Xiao Yu, I’m sorry. Actually, I have liked you since we were in Ainuo Town. From the moment I first saw you, I thought, how could there be such a lovely person in this world? But at that time, I was too embarrassed to say… Later, I got injured, and you took care of me…”

Shi Yunyi’s heart was filled with regret, and the things that happened during those days kept replaying in his mind.

At that time, Bai Yu truly wholeheartedly cared for him, but after he regained his memory, he selfishly wanted to kill Bai Yu.

Shi Yunyi held onto Bai Yu even tighter. Even if Bai Yu hated him and resented him, it was understandable.

After all, what had he done to Bai Yu?

“Xiao Yu, I swear in the name of the Blood Emperor. In this lifetime, I, Shi Yunyi, will only have you! If I want to marry, it will only be you.”

Just as Shi Yunyi finished speaking, the old butler in the castle suddenly rushed out, kneeling in front of Shi Yunyi.

“Absolutely not, Your Majesty.”

The old butler always called Shi Yunyi “Master,” and unless absolutely necessary, he would never address him as “Your Majesty.”

Shi Yunyi was the king of the vampire clan, and he couldn’t easily make a vow.

Any oath spoken by him would definitely come true!

Fortunately, Shi Yunyi had only spoken the first half of the vow and hadn’t said the rest.

So, there was still time to rectify everything.

“Your Majesty, you can like him, but you can’t have only him. How can such a lowly human be worthy of our supreme king? The bloodline of our vampire clan must not be broken! Your Majesty, please take back your vow!”

Not only the butler, but everyone else in the house also knelt down.

“Please take back your vow.”

Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, a hint of sarcasm flashed across Bai Yu’s face.

He had originally thought that Shi Yunyi was arrogant and unreasonable, but he didn’t expect the entire vampire clan to be like this.

Looking down on humans so much…

Bai Yu took off the ring in his hand, feeling somewhat disheartened.

He looked at Shi Yunyi standing in front of him alone, facing so many people, and suddenly understood the pressure he was under.

He also understood why he hated it so much but still forced himself to look at those women.

However, just as Bai Yu was about to take off the ring, Shi Yunyi’s face instantly turned extremely ugly. He swiftly reached out and held Bai Yu’s hand, preventing him from taking off the ring. He stood in front of Bai Yu, blocking him.

Shi Yunyi’s face showed no expression, but his trembling hand let Bai Yu know how nervous he was.

Bai Yu glanced at him, and this man was still as arrogant and unruly as ever.

But he didn’t let go of his hand, even sweating in his palm…

Shi Yunyi waved his other hand forcefully, and the people who were kneeling on the ground were blown away by a tremendous gust of wind.

Shi Yunyi raised his head arrogantly, his appearance filled with arrogance and rudeness.

“No one can question my decision. In this lifetime, Shi Yunyi will only marry Bai Yu. If anyone goes against it, they will be struck by lightning and annihilated!”

The sky churned with dark clouds, and a thunderstorm descended with lightning and thunder, causing everyone to tremble.

The second half of the oath was spoken…

This oath is fulfilled.

This sentence may seem hurried, but only Shi Yunyi knows how sincere he truly is…

It wasn’t a momentary impulse or a reckless statement made in the heat of the moment.

It was a heartfelt desire to make this oath.

He loves Bai Yu, and he knows that he will never love anyone else besides him.

If he doesn’t have Bai Yu, what does it matter even if he dies?

Shi Yunyi gently looked at Bai Yu, a gentle smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, his voice filled with immense tenderness.

“Xiao Yu, will you promise to marry me?”

A flicker of emotion passed through Bai Yu’s heart, warming him up as if a hot stream flowed through him.

Shi Yunyi didn’t say it, but Bai Yu knew that if he didn’t agree, he would never marry anyone else in his lifetime.

This is the love Shi Yunyi has for him…

Even before he had decided whether he wanted to marry him or not, he had cornered himself with this oath.

The lifespan of vampires is infinitely long, unlike humans who live for a mere hundred years at most.

In this lifetime, if he can’t marry him, if he were to die, he would die along with his oath.

Just how big of a gamble is this…

This man, Bai Yu has always thought of him as foolish, considering his emotional intelligence to be low…

But at the most crucial moment, he stood firm under pressure, willing to go all-in for his sake.

Bai Yu helplessly smiled at him, “If you’re like this, how can I refuse you?”

Hearing his words, Shi Yunyi’s entire eyes lit up.

“Xiao Yu!”

He enveloped Bai Yu in his embrace, trembling with excitement throughout his body.

At that moment, everyone else present turned pale as ashes.

Their king had made such a rebellious oath.

Pure-blooded vampires are incredibly rare in this world, yet he disregarded his duty as a king and chose to be with a lowly human.

Losing the pure bloodline would lead to the decline of the vampire race, something no other vampire would want to see.

The steward stood up and bowed to Shi Yunyi.

“Since that’s the case, you will no longer be our king. There are others in this world who possess pure blood. We will establish a new king.”

Shi Yunyi smiled. Their intentions were clear—they wanted to force him to abdicate and release Worcester.

After all, besides himself, Worcester was another pure-blooded vampire.

Shi Yunyi, as the vampire king, couldn’t truly let the vampire race lose the possibility of giving birth to pure-blooded infants. He extended his hand, and a seal emerged from his palm.

“Here, this is for you. Worcester is sealed beneath the castle hall.”

Having said that, Shi Yunyi turned to look at Bai Yu, then embraced him, a gentle smile playing at the corner of his eyes.

“Let’s go.”

“Okay.”

No one expected Shi Yunyi to abdicate so decisively. The entire vampire race was left speechless.

Worcester was a courageous warrior, while Shi Yunyi favored peace. Comparatively, Shi Yunyi was more suitable to be a king.

So everyone had always followed Shi Yunyi’s lead, including the old steward who had raised Shi Yunyi.

Now, he had made such a serious vow for the sake of love, leaving them no choice but to make this decision.

The old steward watched Shi Yunyi’s figure grow distant, a sour feeling welling up in his heart.

He took two steps forward and bent down.

“Master, I hope you have a happy and fulfilling life from now on.”

Shi Yunyi waved his hand without turning back. “There’s no need to call me ‘master’ anymore. I won’t be the master of this castle anymore…”

Having said that, he spread his wings, embraced Bai Yu, and flew away without a hint of nostalgia.

—

In the lush green tree, Shi Yunyi held Bai Yu in his arms.

“Xiao Yu, I have nothing now. I’m no longer the vampire king, but a wretched loser driven out by my own kind… Are you still willing to be with me?”

Bai Yu smiled at him.

“I am willing. I like you as a person, not for your status. So no matter who you are, I like you.”

Shi Yunyi looked at the person before him, his eyes shining brightly, his heart throbbing.

He had taken such a risk, without considering the consequences, but he was also afraid that Bai Yu would reject him.

But Bai Yu said he liked him as a person, not his status.

He knew his Xiao Yu was different.

The love in his heart was about to overflow.

With that, Shi Yunyi hugged Bai Yu tightly and kissed his lips passionately.

“Xiao Yu, I love you.”
