"So that the future of the vampire clan will no longer be stained with pain and tears..."
Her eyes were bloodshot.
"I will sit on the throne of power at the pinnacle of the vampire clan."
Chapter 126 Eternal Pure Land
About ten minutes later, the group arrived at a pine forest and stopped under one of the inconspicuous, sturdy pine trees.
Ye Liuli manipulated the seal that appeared on the tree, and in the blink of an eye, a cave appeared on the snow wall in front of her.
"Let's go."
She walked ahead, carrying Lingxi's body, her expression sorrowful and solemn.
Her despondency at this moment was evident in her silence.
After walking along the dimly lit cave for several minutes, Ye Liuli slowly began to explain to the people behind her.
"This is a secret residence that Xiaoxi transformed from a natural hot spring valley for the safety of Hilly... the vampire queen."
"She used dark magic to conceal the hot spring valley and its entrance, and slowed the passage of time here many times over..."
"While this ensures that little Shirley's health will not suffer any further complications... it also means that even though we've only been gone for a few months, in her eyes we may have been gone for many, many years."
"This place was created by Xiaoxi to freeze time in this moment, to hold onto these fleeting moments of beauty—"
Ye Liuli calmly pushed open the simple wooden door at the end, and a lush, green paradise was revealed to everyone.
"Eternal Pure Land".
...
This is a secluded valley that has been separated from the world by a dark magical barrier.
When the vampire princesses and queens set foot here, it had been over a thousand years since anyone had set foot here.
The princess racked her brains to transform this lush natural wonder of the snow-capped mountains into an "eternal paradise" that belonged only to them.
Surrounded by a path made of blue bricks and stone tiles, the small hot spring lake in the center of the valley has been transformed into a bath that can only be enjoyed by three people. It always emits warm wisps of steam, keeping the cold air away from the valley.
Continuing along the path, you'll find a miniature garden by the lake, filled with the vampire queen's favorite flowers.
Under the influence of the magic of time, they never wither and bloom eternally.
After passing the pavilion on one side of the garden near the lake, you'll find yourself surrounded by magnificent medieval-style railings along the path.
The ever-burning streetlights, though unable to illuminate the dim yet beautiful canyon, did light up the trail beneath their feet that ran through it.
This ensures that every meticulously crafted scene along the trail can be fully appreciated by everyone.
From the architectural style to the meticulously crafted gardens, from the hot springs without flowing water to the carefully designed steps and bench heights, everything here is a "theme park" created by the deceased princess for her beloved.
Cater to their preferences and create what they love. Ultimately, this "eternal"
"Eternal Pure Land" was born in the world.
Its sole mission is simply to "make the vampire queen happy".
However, Princess Lingxi, who created this idyllic paradise, eventually left in despair and madness, choosing to return to the mortal world to continue leading the vampire clan, now leaderless...
Why exactly?
Despite having many questions, the people who were visiting this place for the first time did not ask Ye Liuli any further questions.
Because their destination was already within reach.
At the end of the trail, a magnificent and classically elegant stone and wood cottage sits quietly in the darkness.
To avoid being exposed to sunlight at any time, Lingxi chose to build their dwelling in such a dark place.
But it is also touched by the warm valley breeze, making it an unparalleled dwelling place that is hard to find in this world for vampires.
The three-story house provided ample living space for the three of them, as well as a spacious gathering place where they could enjoy their precious time together.
But the "Eternal Paradise," which should have remained unchanged forever, could not allow that time to continue indefinitely...
In the end, it all vanished like a bubble.
"She's inside."
"But...but it still happened..."
Ye Liuli trembled and knelt down on the ground.
How she wished that Lingxi, nestled in her arms, would suddenly jump up, grin mischievously, and tell her it was just a prank, then excitedly push open the door to the cottage—
But Lingxi lay quietly in her arms, cold and lifeless.
"No...no way..."
Ye Liuli took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
"Miss Ludwig, everyone."
"how?"
"The vampire queen is starting to lose her sight."
Ye Liuli's tone was pleading.
"Don't tell her about Lingxi yet..."
...
"I see."
Ludwig replied to her solemnly.
The doubts in everyone's hearts had reached their peak; they desperately wanted to know what had happened to the Vampire Queen. Every word Ye Liuli spoke only intensified these doubts...!
The truth, in stages, is about to be revealed to everyone, but without exception, everyone's heart is filled with unease.
Perhaps, deep down, everyone is afraid to know the truth.
because--
Hilliot von Mona, the eternal moon, the immortal queen of the vampires.
Since the birth of the vampire race 1,500 years ago, she has been the "progenitor individual" and has become the undisputed queen of the vampire race.
Her unparalleled strength is the foundation that allows her to stand proudly at the pinnacle of demons and makes the vampire clan the leader of all demons.
Her powerful ancestral blood and unparalleled elegance drove any vampire to madness.
She ruled the vampires for a thousand years, allowing them to survive proudly to this day despite the relentless attacks from humans.
Ancient texts passed down through generations cannot record everything about her, and vampire scholars cannot judge her merits and demerits.
Everything about her is too ancient and mysterious; no words can fully describe her life.
But one thing is beyond doubt:
Even without her queenly authority that governs the spirit of all vampires, she is still the queen whom vampires have admired for thousands of years.
This has always been the case for a thousand years; it should remain so a thousand years from now.
When the icy vampire queen revealed a happy smile for the first time...
When the eternal vampire queen is absent from the throne...
When the elegant and composed vampire princess descends into madness...
Everything changed within a few years. Her disappearance unleashed a continuous storm, the vampire edifice crumbled, and the throne vanished without a trace.
At this moment, she, who had gone missing, was only one door away from everyone else.
Can they bear the weight of the truth?
The answer can only be found after you push open the door.
...
crunch--
Because the flow of time in this space has been greatly slowed down, even though the door has not been opened for "several years," it remains as new and spotless as when Lingxi and Yeliuli left.
But unlike others, the people who stay here don't experience the dramatic changes of time or the vast changes of the world.
...
In the "Eternal Pure Land," people's thoughts are slowed down in sync with their physical bodies.
Therefore, what may be only a few dozen days in the world can feel like several years to the people in it.
The classic little wooden door was gently pushed open, and Ye Liuli turned on the light next to the door.
The dim lights softly illuminated the dark living room of the wooden house.
"...!"
"she..."
"what!"
Everyone was shocked by what they saw.
All eyes were now focused on the stone hearth in the living room.
A chair and a person are the only objects beside the stone stove.
...
The petite girl sat motionless on the wooden chair that had been custom-made for her.
A black gown replaced her original queenly dress; her dull, gray-white hair hung limply on both sides, just like her dark red eyes, lifeless and without light.
His cheeks and skin were so pale they seemed lifeless, and his body was so thin it was unrecognizable...
Nevertheless, her stunning beauty still captivates hearts.
The girl is like a life-size doll, sitting quietly in this eternally pure land that seems to never fade away, for who knows how many years.
Although the clothing differed slightly from what Ludwig remembered, Ludwig was still certain that the lifeless vampire girl before her was the vampire queen they had been searching for day and night.
Because the aura and imposing presence accumulated by a king over a thousand years can be discerned at a glance.
Although it has almost completely disappeared now.
Her lifeless appearance stirred up a storm of emotions in the shocked crowd.
How could the king of the vampires have become like this?!
...
Ye Liuli sighed deeply.
“Little Hilly…”
"I clearly told you that if you were tired, you should go back to bed and rest..."
"You've probably been sitting here for many years... After all, you can go without eating or drinking for a long time in here."
Ye Liuli stepped forward and gently took her hand, which offered no resistance.
"You must have been lonely being alone for so long, right? Don't be afraid, I'm back."
The black-haired girl touched the silver hair behind her head.
"Okay. If you can't move, I'll take you back to bed to rest."
Ye Liuli smiled.
"Come on, if you're afraid of pain, you should tell me."
After saying that, she was about to pick up the petite vampire queen.
But in the next instant, the vampire queen's lips and teeth twitched slightly for a moment.
She raised her head, her unfocused eyes looking at Ye Liuli.
"how?"
Ye Liuli asked with concern.
The vampire queen's lips twitched, as if she hadn't spoken for many years, making it difficult for her to utter a word.
After a long pause, she finally uttered her words, which were vague but concise.
