Silent Crown-Chapter 489 The Last Supper
Chapter 489 The Last Supper
After being "enthusiastically" pushed into the carriage, Ye Qingxuan was treated like a felon.
First, someone injected a tranquilizer into his neck, his eyes were covered with a blindfold, and a bag was pulled over his head. Then, he was forced to wear handcuffs and legcuffs. Finally, his clavicles, arms, and neck were all shackled with the shackles of Aether. His sense with the musician was totally cut off.
Because of the strong magnetic field, all the shackles were firmly fixed on an iron plate. Suddenly, the iron box was closed, and Ye Qingxuan was in complete darkness.
He could not hear anything.
Ye Qingxuan was lying in a coffin made specifically for him. He could feel a tremble beneath him from time to time and knew that the carriage was still moving.
Occasionally, the carriage turned left, then right. Sometimes, it moved upward and then downward.
In the pure darkness, Ye Qingxuan was counting the time with his fingers, and he almost fell asleep. After a long while, the carriage finally stopped.
"Ask someone… to send him to…"
"...is dead already… won't go…"
"It should be… turn to…"
Ye Qingxuan could vaguely hear people arguing and the sound of a lifter as the iron coffin was pulled forward. The wind was blowing into the air vent, Ye Qingxuan was feeling colder and colder. He thought that he had probably been brought either to a refrigeration house or a basement.
At last, the coffin stopped.
After a long while, Ye Qingxuan heard people talking.
"Let Lord Samuel deal with him… that's what Lord Ludovic has said."
"There is no need to bother Lord Samuel," someone said in a low voice. "I will deal with this man."
"You want to use this blood slave to your advantage? Aren't you afraid that you will be burnt into ashes under the sun once Lord Ludovic knows?"
"Come on, Quintus, I know you are starving too," he sneered. "Judging from the smell, the man inside the coffin must be a musician. The quality of the blood of a musician is very good, and besides, someone told me that this man is a big figure. I want him to be my own blood slave, and I am willing to give half of his blood to you only if you agree to cover for me." f𝘳𝚎𝑒𝚠𝑒𝚋𝘯o𝘃eƖ.co𝓂
Outside of the coffin, Ye Qingxuan could hear that one was chewing something, while the other was sucking something. After a long while, the other replied, "...fine, let's do it then."
The two lifted the iron box and put it on a table.
They opened the box with a key, then removed the blindfold and the bag that covered Ye Qingxuan's head. Because of the strong magnetic field, Ye Qingxuan could not move, but he was happy to finally see the light.
He felt a bit dazzled.
The light of the shadowless lamp in the operating room was cold and dazzling.
He could smell the disinfectant and the blood.
Two men who were wearing aristocratic clothing were watching him. They looked rather pale and had very sharp canine teeth. Watching Ye Qingxuan, they could not help swallowing their saliva.
Ye Qingxuan squinted his eyes and smiled.
"Hey, are you two ready to eat your meal now?"
The two men were surprised and backed away two steps. After making sure that all the shackles were still there, they were relieved. The slim man squinted his eyes and said, "You are still awake?"
"Yes." Ye Qingxuan nodded. "The tranquilizer you guys gave me is not that effective, I just took a short nap. It seems that I have come to at the right time for you to eat your meal."
Ye Qingxuan curiously looked around and asked: "What do you plan to eat? What's so delicious that makes you keep swallowing your saliva?"
He saw there was a dry corpse on the operating table next to him. The stiff body had bite marks everywhere, and one of its arms was gone.
Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan frowned.
"Quick-frozen food? It seems that the living conditions here are less than ideal. You guys can't even afford something fresh?"
"Shut up!"
The slim man slapped him. Ye Qingxuan still smiled at him. "I guess you two are going to eat your meal. You should pay attention to your health and eat something that has been cooked. Eating raw food is bad for you. I suggest you either roast it or fry it, and it will taste better if you add some pepper salt."
The two musicians who had become vampires looked at each other and turned gloomy. One of them said, "You know you are going to die, how can you still be so chatty? Be quiet! We will grant you the blood of glory later, and you should thank us for giving you this opportunity."
"Can you be gentle?" Ye Qingxuan looked at his two sharp teeth. "I fear pain… why not set me free?"
Hearing this, the two men become very gloomy.
"Ninuo, we should give him a tranquilizer injection," Quintus suggested. "Don't ever give him any chance to run away, his eyes look rather strange…"
"Good idea," Ninuo replied after hesitating a while.
He walked to the operating table and extracted around five times of the usual amount of the strong anesthetics. He put the needle against Ye Qingxuan's neck and sneered, "Don't try to run away, you may have a nice dream instead."
"Sounds good." Ye Qingxuan nodded and quietly watched them while blinking his big eyes.
A minute passed, two minutes passed, ten minutes passed…
Ye Qingxuan was still blinking his eyes and watching them. Gradually, Ninuo stopped laughing and grew more gloomy.
Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan couldn't help tittering.
After going through the sub-originator transformation, both his hormones and organs were no longer the same as an ordinary person's. Besides, with the help of the Stone of Sage, his body successfully mutated. The anesthetics wouldn't do any harm to him; even if he ate poisonous potions, he'd just get diarrhea.
For him, the anesthetics that would cause an ordinary person brain death were just no big deal.
"Hurry up! The clock is ticking," Ye Qingxuan said. "How about eating me alive? The last thing I want to do is to starve you two. I promise I will be quiet from now on, okay? I do sympathize with you two, since you are locked under the ground all the time and don't even have the chance to enjoy the sunlight. I will just pretend I am doing a favor for you two…"
Slap!
Hearing this, Ninuo's face was convulsed with rage. He heavily slapped Ye Qingxuan and said, "B*stard!"
Since Lord Samuel failed to upgrade his Scepter, all the students of the School of (Music) Theory turned into vampires. Although they had not been eradicated yet, they had to stay underground and scramble for the few bodies of wanderers. If they made any complaints, they would be thrown above ground by Samuel, and burnt to ashes by the sunlight.
Therefore, they didn't dare to contradict to Samuel. Seeing Ye Qingxuan, who was just a "blood bag," mocking him, Ninuo was furious and took out a scalpel.
"You are proving to us that you are so articulate, right? Why not let me cut the corners of your mouth and make it bigger, so you can talk louder!"
Ninuo cruelly cut Ye Qingxuan's mouth. An extremely big and bloody crack crawled to his jaws.
The blood spurted out.
Ye Qingxuan didn't scream at all. Instead, he put a bigger "smile" on his face and watched the two men. Immediately, the two men's eyes turned red.
After they became vampires, blood was something they could never resist, especially the blood of a musician. For them, the blood of an ordinary person was food, but the blood of a musician was a panacea that could greatly enhance their power. Ye Qingxuan's blood was the blood of Deva. It was something even the Elder Hydrargyrum Lola would crave for.
Quintus' eyes were bloody red. He instantly crawled onto Ye Qingxuan, bit his neck, and began to suck Ye Qingxuan's blood.
"There is no need to hurry, take it slow," Ye Qingxuan said gently. "Don't choke yourself."
Ninuo was furious, and when he tried to drag Quintus away, Quintus began to scream.
Quintus quickly stood up, backed away, staggered, and began to release piercing screams, as if what he had drank was not Ye Qingxuan's blood, but scorching liquid iron.
The blood on Quintus' face was shining, the light as gentle as the moonlight. His face was burning, and quickly rotted, dehydrated, and turned into charcoal at last.
The blood in his stomach began to spread into all over his body. Quintus felt something burning inside his body. He was in great pain and tore his body apart with his sharp claws, trying to get the blood out of his system. But all his organs were being corroded by the poisonous blood. They soon withered and turned into ashes.
"Ninuo, help me! Help me!"
Quintus screamed, scratched his body while rolling on the ground as if insane. Ninuo was terrified by this scene and quickly backed away. After a short while, Quintus stopped moving and became a scorched, dry corpse.
"I never thought you would have such a small appetite."
Ye Qingxuan coldly looked at Quintus, and whistled. "You shouldn't have drunk this much, see? You died from overeating."
You wanted to drink my blood?
Don't be ridiculous!
The blood of Deva contained the music theory itself, besides, it had absorbed the energy of the Seal of the Moonlight and the Stone of Sage. Thus, it could cause huge damage to any evil spirit.
Ye Qingxuan's blood was undrinkable unless he dedicated his blood of his own free will and got rid of the moonlight contained in his blood, just like other musicians did when they dedicated their blood to Lola. Besides, the one who drank the blood should be able to decipher the same music theory. Otherwise, anyone who drank Ye Qingxuan's blood would die.
If someone wanted to drink Ye Qingxuan's blood without his consent, he'd be better off to kill himself by drinking rat poison and have a clean death.
Ye Qingxuan's wound quickly healed. Soon, there was only a tiny crack left.
Bang!
The door of the operating room opened.
"What's going on!"
An old man appeared, accompanied by a few alarmed and bewildered young men. The old man saw Quintus lying on the ground, dead. Then he grew extremely angry.
Soon, they laid their eyes on Ye Qingxuan who was lying on the operation desk.
The young men smelled the blood and their eyes immediately got very red. They desperately wanted to go forward and drink Ye Qingxuan's blood, but they were afraid of Samuel, so they didn't dare to make a move.
Seeing Quintus' dead body and Ninuo's alarmed face, Samuel understood what had transpired. His eyes became very cold.
"Teacher, I have nothing to do with this!" Ninuo exclaimed. "It was Quintus! He wanted to privately take possession of the blood slave that is supposed to be dedicated to you by Lord Ludovic!"
"Ninuo, you are already quite something…"
Samuel coldly stared at Ninuo and sneered, "How dare you possess the blood slave given to me by Lord Ludovic."
Hearing this, Ninuo was so frightened that his face twisted. He dashed to the door, trying to run away. Samuel coldly humphed, then Ninuo fell onto the ground, groaned, and rolled around in pain. He scratched his body so hard that his bones were revealed.
All his veins started to shine. A scarlet liquid flew from his heart to Samuel's hand, taking away all the purified blood in his body.
Ninuo was lying on the ground, motionless and dying.
The few young men standing behind Samuel were terrified by this scene and didn't dare to make a move.
"You are Ye Qingxuan?"
Samuel stood in front of the operation desk and stared at Ye Qingxuan. He began to laugh in a very strange and terrifying way. Then he said, "I have heard a lot about you. It seems that you are really powerful, since you have managed to kill two of my disciples."
"Hey, I only killed one of your disciples," Ye Qingxuan coldly replied. "Besides, you can't possibly blame me for this, he was the one who crawled on me and sucked my blood."
"You have got a sharp tongue. It is such a waste to make someone who has got a sharp tongue a blood slave." Samuel laughed. "Don't worry. I will make you my best disciple. With the help of the music theory and the blood of Deva in your body, my Scepter will be more powerful."
"You guys get out." Samuel turned to his disciples and said, "No one is allowed to come in without my permission."
Soon, the operating room was back in silence.
Samuel held the blood liquid extracted from Ninuo in his hand. The blood liquid shone and lighted Ye Qingxuan's face. Samuel laughed. "Ninuo was such a sh*t. Now I can cultivate you with the Blood of Element."
Ye Qingxuan asked, "You are not thinking that I would agree to be one of your loyal disciples after I turned into a blood-sucking monster like you, aren't you?"
"Don't worry, you will be my disciple."
Instantly, the blood liquid in Samuel's hand began to wriggle like a snake and crawled into Ye Qingxuan's neck through the wound. The blood of element quickly spread to all over his body.
The music theory contained in the blood of element activated and tried to change Ye Qingxuan's corporeality and body. But before it worked, Samuel realized that something was not right and his facial expression changed.
Samuel couldn't feel the existence of the blood of element, as if it had vanished.
In the sheer silence, Ye Qingxuan farted.
"Excuse me." Ye Qingxuan laughed, embarrassed. "It's just indigestion."
"...I see."
Samuel coldly stared at him and said, "It is the music theory contained in the blood of Deva that you are counting on, right? I miscalculated."
Ye Qingxuan laughed and gave no reply.
Samuel then stabbed right at Ye Qingxuan's heart with a sharp knife. The blood spurted out and fell on Samuel's body. It was making a sound and tried to corrode Samuel's body, but its effect was offset by the music theory contained inside Samuel's body.
The blood of Deva, poisonous to vampires, was spurting out like a fountain.
Looking at Ye Qingxuan's face, which was becoming extremely pale due to the loss of blood, Samuel laughed aloud. "Don't worry, when the last drop of blood in your body is dried up, I will refill your body with new blood and bring you back to life."
The next moment, the blood began to flow backwards into Ye Qingxuan's chest. His face become rosy and radiant again.
Samuel was stunned by this. He pulled his knife and stabbed Ye Qingxuan again.
The blood spurted out, then flew backwards and disappeared into Ye Qingxuan's chest again.
Samuel stabbed again and again… no matter how many times he stabbed, the blood still flew backwards to Ye Qingxuan's chest.
Samuel was very embarrassed and his face turned livid with rage.
Ye Qingxuan looked at him and felt very sorry for him. "It seems that my blood doesn't want to leave my body. Why not try other ways?"
"Shut up!"
A terrifying Aether wave was suddenly activated and almost suffocated Ye Qingxuan.
The bizarre scepter was floating above Samuel's head and shining in a thick scarlet light. Ye Qingxuan felt a bit of pain as if his skin was being stung by the light.
Although Samuel failed to upgrade his scepter and turned into a blood-sucking monster, he had finished the process of transformation and become much more powerful than any ordinary master. He had got used to the terrifying power of his scepter.
Ye Qingxuan didn't resist. Instead, he raised his head and revealed his neck. He then said, "How about sucking the blood by yourself?"
Via the wound on his neck, Samuel could see the blood was shining as bright as the hydrargyrum.
Samuel was a bit afraid of Ye Qingxuan's blood. He sneered and said, "You are wrong if you think I don't know how to deal with you. Let's do this in a more simple way, shall we?"
Suddenly, the shadow of the scepter shone with a dazzling scarlet light. The light penetrated Ye Qingxuan's head. At the same time, thick blood flowed out of Samuel's mouth and nose and quickly crawled into Ye Qingxuan's mouth, nose, eyes, and ears like earthworms.
Both Samuel's blood of element and Ye Qingxuan's blood of Deva contained the music theory, but the blood of element could change the host into a blood-sucking monster like Samuel.
Since I couldn't suck his blood or corrode him with the blood of element, I shall force him to change him via the music theory contained in my blood!
In just a few minutes, Samuel was studden by the powerful potential of Ye Qingxuan.
He is just like a precious jade!
The purifying music theory in Ye Qingxuan's blood was indeed scary. Even so, the vitality and the energy contained in it could not only greatly enhance Samuel's power, but also repair his mutated scepter. There was a chance that Samuel could suppress his urge to suck blood and walk under the sun again.
Thinking of this, Samuel was determined to transform Ye Qingxuan, even if it consumed his ultimate source of energy. Once the process of transformation was over, Samuel could use Ye Qingxuan's body as his new shelter.
Since Ye Qingxuan was shackled with the Aether shackles, he could not defend himself. Samuel's music theory was pouring into his body.
Ye Qingxuan sighed and said, "What a pity. If I were you, I would never do such a stupid thing."
Suddenly, Samuel was astonished. He felt the energy inside Ye Qingxuan's body getting stronger and stronger. In the blink of an eye, the energy appeared from the Nothingness, then it quickly got strong enough to brake the limit of Resonance. Soon, it crossed the Intervene, continue to grow stronger, and broke the limit of the Intervene, until at last, it reached the Distortion level.
The magnificent movement of the sound of heart started, the viscera trembling in the same beat and creating a melody. The heaven ladder appeared in the air, and crossed the seven systems. Accompanied by the melody, the energy in Ye Qingxuan's body got stronger.
The sub-originator in the Sea of Aether resonated with this melody and instilled a powerful energy into Ye Qingxuan. The physical form of the Sea of Aether revealed itself around Ye Qingxuan.
Soon, the energy inside Ye Qingxuan's body broke the limit of the Distortion level and reached the level of the Master!
Seeing this, Samuel was so astonished that his eyes almost fell out.
Impossible! F*cking impossible!
I remember that he just reached the level of Resonance a month ago!
In a short month, he already managed to brake the limit of Resonance, Intervene, and Distortion, and reached the level of the Master?
In a f*cking short month!
Samuel was extremely terrified by this scene, and he didn't even realize that Ye Qingxuan managed to summon the Sea of Aether while he was still shackled by the shackle of Aether.
Crack! Ye Qingxuan got up from the operating desk.
All the shackles had been unclenched!
Ye Qingxuan moved his wrist, and a silver fork that he had hidden in his sleeve fell onto his hand. The next moment, he stabbed right into Samuel's bald head with great strength.
Samuel groaned.
The music theory of both sides were corroding each other. Against the scarlet light, Ye Qingxuan laughed coldly.
