Chapter 120 Thunderous Sky, Quiet Sea (5k)
After suffering a severe blow, all of Du Haijing's abilities disappeared, and he even lost his true form.
She just stood there, her eyes empty and lifeless, not moving at all.
"Stop playing dead."
Shen Cheng exposed her mercilessly. Although her original body had no combat power, she was also an extraordinary vampire. It was not so easy for her to die by having her chest ripped out.
"There is no deep hatred between us, why do you want to kill me?"
This is what Shen Cheng couldn't understand the most. Even if Du Haijing didn't want to be caught by him and didn't want to lose her freedom, she had countless chances to leave. Why did she have to fight to the death with him?
Unless, as she just said, she is already a crazy woman with mental problems.
Du Haijing's lifeless eyes gradually regained color.
"you win!"
She stared at Shen Cheng's face and did not answer the question. Instead, she smiled gently: "As a reward for victory, I will tell you a secret, a secret that may be able to solve the curse of blood."
Shen Cheng was skeptical: "What secret?"
Du Haijing stood on tiptoe and slowly moved closer to Shen Cheng's ear: "You should have heard of a method of cultivation - vampires will distribute their source blood to their servants, let the servants strengthen the source blood, and then take it back to strengthen their own strength. If the servant swallows the master's source blood in turn, do you know what will happen?"
Shen Cheng's heart skipped a beat. He had never thought of this possibility before. It was almost impossible to happen.
As a master, the vampire has absolute control over his servants. There may be exceptions like Shen Cheng and Xiao Qingque who go against the Tiangang, but the source blood curse still exists.
If Shen Cheng swallowed Xiao Qingque's source blood, then when Xiao Qingque died, Shen Cheng would be buried with him because of the source blood curse.
Du Haijing saw what Shen Cheng was thinking: "Your worries are justified. Once the master dies, the servant will die too. What if the master voluntarily gives the source blood to the servant?"
Shen Cheng was slightly startled: "Will there be such a thing?"
The source blood is the life of a vampire. Which vampire would voluntarily give his life to his servant?
"Why not? The world is so big and full of strange things. No matter what the impossible things are, they can happen."
Du Haijing gave the answer: "If a vampire gives his blood to a servant, the servant will gain the master's power, as well as the master's blood curse, and will not be buried with the master."
After saying this, she suddenly opened her mouth and bit Shen Cheng's neck.
She was not sucking blood, but injecting the source blood in her body into Shen Cheng.
Shen Cheng didn't expect Du Haijing to do such a thing. He subconsciously tried to break free, but Du Haijing's voice rang in his ears.
"You don't want Qingque to always be your weakness, do you?"
"Replacing me, you will be her weakness."
This sentence made Shen Cheng stop, because Xiao Qingque was too weak. Since he traveled through time, he has been trying to solve the problem of Xiao Qingque bringing trouble to himself.
He also didn't dare let Xiao Qingque become too strong. If she became too strong, she could control Shen Cheng as the master.
This is a problem that has almost no solution except to remove the curse of the source blood.
And Du Haijing has now given the solution - let Shen Cheng and Xiao Qingque exchange identities and let him become Xiao Qingque's master.
Du Haijing's source blood was continuously injected into Shen Cheng's body. The source blood in Shen Cheng's body was like fellow villagers meeting each other. It rushed up and shot him directly, then stripped him of his clothes and raped him.
The two were originally one and the same. Xiao Qingque's source blood came from Du Haijing, and the source blood in Shen Cheng's body came from Xiao Qingque.
The two people's blood merged together without any barriers.
No, it should be Shen Cheng’s source blood that is devouring Du Haijing’s source blood.
Accepting this actually involves a huge risk, because Shen Cheng cannot see what Du Haijing is thinking, nor can he guess what her purpose is.
And she has not lost all her fighting power yet. If she suddenly attacks, Shen Cheng will be extremely passive.
But Shen Cheng finally decided to believe Pei Mu's divination - believing that Du Haijing had no ill will towards him.
With the injection of source blood, Shen Cheng felt that his source blood was growing stronger and his strength was rising rapidly. In a blink of an eye, he reached a critical point and broke through it very smoothly without any obstacles.
This critical point is extraordinary!
Originally, Shen Cheng became extraordinary by relying on his true form, and now with the help of Du Haijing, his normal state has finally broken through the boundaries of the extraordinary.
If all his abilities and true forms were added, Shen Cheng had no idea how powerful he was now.
Perhaps he has already approached the realm of a master above the extraordinary level.
Compared with Shen Cheng who was getting stronger and stronger, Du Haijing's breath was weakening rapidly.
Source blood is the foundation of a vampire. If Du Haijing gave all the source blood to Shen Cheng, then only death would await her.
She could clearly have left a little source blood to maintain her life, but she didn't do that. Instead, she gave it all to Shen Cheng, without leaving a single drop.
Du Haijing was not a natural vampire, and her source blood curse also entered Shen Cheng's body along with the source blood, so her death would not cause Shen Cheng and Xiao Qingque to be buried together.
After all the source blood was injected, Du Haijing was extremely weak. Her chin rested on Shen Cheng's shoulder and she needed his support to stand steadily.
"Du Tianming left you something in Hanyun Prefecture, and there are also some things he wants to tell you. Go and take a look when you have time."
Du Haijing's voice gradually became fainter, but still gentle: "Take good care of Qingque for me, don't abandon her... don't bully her... don't..."
The sound stopped and the breath disappeared.
Shen Cheng took a step back and saw Du Haijing's body, which had lost its source blood, slowly decompose and dissipate, leaving only a little bit of debris on the ground.
Looking at the wreckage on the ground, Shen Cheng did not move.
He is now in a state of confusion: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
It’s not that he didn’t understand what happened, but that he completely didn’t understand Du Haijing’s motives.
Suddenly he wanted to kill me, and suddenly he sacrificed himself and gave his source blood to me. He was so cruel to Xiao Qingque, but turned around like a loving mother and asked me to take good care of her.
Du Haijing's behavior is full of contradictions, and he is also an ultimate riddler who never answers any key questions.
Is she really a crazy woman with mental problems?
Shen Cheng stood there in a daze for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he saw a little white light appearing on the wreckage of Du Haijing.
Thank God, thank you for still having dreams!
Otherwise I will definitely suffer from insomnia this month.
Shen Cheng squatted down without hesitation and reached out to touch the wreckage, absorbing the white light with his fingertips.
Whatever riddle you are, let me show you!
As the white light was absorbed, Du Haijing's memories began to appear in Shen Cheng's mind, allowing him to witness this woman's life.
Du Haijing was once a human being, but she did not live in human society, but in the Eternal Empire of vampires.
Shen Cheng once had a doubt. Vampires need to suck human blood to survive. In a country like the Eternal Empire that is full of vampires, if there are no humans to support them, how do they survive?
Du Haijing's memory answered this doubt - it turned out that the Eternal Empire of vampires had long developed a blood product that could replace human blood, and this blood product was the food of the Eternal Empire.
However, the seeds or raw materials of this kind of grain also need to be obtained from humans, so the Eternal Empire still cannot do without humans.
In order to avoid being strangled by human society and to achieve self-sufficiency in raw materials, the Eternal Empire has been keeping a large number of humans in captivity since a long time ago.
These humans are the raw materials for making blood products. The Eternal Empire allows these humans to combine with each other and reproduce, and even develops artificial wombs and artificial conception.
In terms of technology, especially biotechnology, the Eternal Empire, which has a longer history, is no worse than humans.
Some vampire nobles would secretly keep humans in captivity to change their taste occasionally.
It’s not that blood products taste bad. In fact, they can be made into any flavor you want, and the taste is far richer than ordinary human blood.
But as nobles, they like to pursue pure and natural pollution-free food. Eating 100% human blood without additives is also a symbol of power and financial resources. Du Haijing is a human being kept by vampire nobles. When she was very young, her parents died on the vampire's dining table. If nothing unexpected happens, she will also become a sweet and delicious human blood meal.
But you never know which will come first, tomorrow or an accident.
When Du Haijing was about to be served on the table, she was rescued by a vampire.
This vampire is called Du Tianming.
In Du Haijing's memory, Shen Cheng saw that Du Tianming had a face exactly like his own.
But this face doesn't match the original Du Tianming who has passed away.
With doubts, Shen Cheng continued to read on.
Du Tianming did not save Du Haijing out of kindness. To be precise, he needed a more special experimental subject, and Du Haijing's physique just met the requirements, so he rescued her.
But for Du Haijing, Du Tianming is undoubtedly the man who gave her a new life and the master she will follow for the rest of her life.
She even gave herself a name, Du Haijing, with the same surname, Tian for Hai and Ming for Jing.
She hoped that Du Tianming would be the thundering sky, and she would be the sea quietly gazing at him.
But Du Tianming is a very cold scholar. He doesn't care what Du Haijing thinks. He only treats her as an experimental tool and turns her into a vampire.
In the long-term experiment, Du Haijing was the only subject who successfully survived. Du Tianming's attitude towards her became much better, and he arranged for her to take care of the two babies.
These two babies are extremely important to Du Tianming, especially the baby boy. He usually takes care of him personally and does not allow anyone to get close to him.
Du Haijing felt genuinely happy to be assigned to take care of the baby, and thought it was a sign of Du Tianming's change of attitude and attention towards her.
She didn't know where the two babies, a boy and a girl, came from, but she treated them as her own and took care of them with all her heart.
At that time, Du Tianming would take out some time every day to help her take care of the baby and stay with the baby.
This was the happiest time in Du Haijing's life, and it also gave her an illusion - that she and Du Tianming were a loving couple, and that the babies were the fruit of their love.
Although she was just Du Tianming's servant and experimental subject, she could not help but have such unrealistic fantasies.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Du Tianming was soon wanted in the Eternal Empire - because he was studying how to lift the source blood curse, which was a taboo among taboos in the Eternal Empire. Anyone who dared to touch it would die.
Du Tianming had to abandon everything and escape from the Eternal Empire with only two babies and Du Haijing who took care of them, and seek refuge in human society.
They spent some time peacefully in human society, but the pursuers of the Eternal Empire soon caught up with them.
The two were forced to separate. Du Tianming led the pursuers away alone, while Du Haijing brought the two children to Tailing City and hid their identities.
She also gave the baby boy to a couple to raise and raised the baby girl alone.
The reason for doing this is not because she does not value the baby boy, on the contrary, it is because she values the baby boy more.
If she gives the baby to someone else to raise, if pursuers suddenly appear, only she and the baby girl will be harmed, while the baby boy will be safe.
A single mother with a daughter always attracts attention. Du Haijing was afraid of being suspected, so she specially found a man to disguise as her husband.
Twenty years passed peacefully like this.
During this period, Du Haijing also tried to find Du Tianming. She knew that Du Tianming was a member of the Stargazing Club, so she worked hard to become a provisional member of the club.
Du Tianming is a vampire, so she tried to find out about Du Tianming through the Scarlet Dinner Party. Unfortunately, she came into conflict with the Scarlet Dinner Party instead, which led to the legend about her still circulating in the vampire circle of Tailing City.
As time went by, Du Haijing, who had been searching in vain, gradually gave up looking for Du Tianming.
When she thought she would live out her life in peace, Du Tianming, who had been missing for twenty years, suddenly contacted her.
Du Haijing thought that after twenty years, she had become indifferent to and was almost forgetting this man.
But in the end she found out that she was wrong. The moment she heard Du Tianming's voice, she couldn't help crying.
Time did not erase her admiration and love for Du Tianming. Instead, like a treasured wine, it became more and more mellow with the passage of time.
She almost dropped everything to meet Du Tianming, but Du Tianming gave her an order - turn the baby girl into a vampire and observe for a period of time. If there are no adverse reactions, then turn the baby boy into a vampire as well.
No need to guess, the baby girl is Xiao Qingque, and the baby boy is Shen Cheng.
After raising her for twenty years, Du Haijing had long regarded Xiao Qingque as her own daughter, but the most important person in her heart was still Du Tianming, so she carried out Du Tianming's orders without hesitation.
As for Xiao Qingque's adoptive father, he was not killed by Du Haijing, but it was a complete tragedy.
After twenty years of living together, although Du Haijing believed that she had no love for Xiao Qingque's adoptive father, she also regarded him as a family member in her heart.
After receiving Du Tianming's order, Du Haijing decided to confess to Xiao Qingque's adoptive father and turn him into a vampire as well.
However, for fear of being suspected, under Du Haijing's hypnosis, Xiao Qingque's adoptive father always believed that Xiao Qingque was his biological daughter.
So after Du Haijing's confession, he simply couldn't accept that the daughter he had raised for twenty years was not his biological daughter, nor could he accept that the wife he had loved for twenty years didn't love him at all.
So he rejected Du Haijing's proposal to turn himself into a vampire, and then committed suicide while she was not paying attention.
Du Haijing knew that this was his revenge on himself, and he wanted to make himself live in guilt for the rest of his life.
If Du Haijing is a cold-blooded vampire, then Xiao Qingque's adoptive father's suicide is clownish behavior.
But Du Haijing is not like that. Her feelings are many times stronger than those of humans, which is why her feelings for Du Tianming have not changed at all even after twenty years of separation.
Sometimes, long-term companionship can also touch a frozen heart.
Du Haijing thought she had no feelings for Xiao Qingque's adoptive father, but she was wrong.
Or maybe she had discovered it a long time ago, but had never dared to admit that she was in love with two men at the same time.
After Xiao Qingque's adoptive father committed suicide, Du Haijing suffered tremendous pain and guilt, and even became devastated. She gave up the urge to take her two children to find Du Tianming.
She never told Xiao Qingque about her adoptive father's suicide, deliberately letting Xiao Qingque hate her forever. There may be a kind of self-abuse in this.
After turning Xiao Qingque into a vampire, Du Haijing mailed her to Shen Cheng's home in the name of Du Tianming. She actually wanted to use this method to remind Shen Cheng that your father is not dead yet.
There is also a small episode here. After Du Haijing sent Xiao Qingque to Shen Cheng's house, she should have protected the two of them in secret at all times.
However, she was devastated by the death of Xiao Qingque's adoptive father and often hid herself away to drink, and as a result, she neglected to protect the two of them.
The original body was beaten to death by two homeless people after get off work. If Shen Cheng had not happened to travel through time, this child, who was extremely important to both Du Tianming and Du Haijing, would have been doomed.
While Du Haijing was secretly protecting Shen Cheng, she also noticed the presence of a car thief.
She tried to catch the other party several times, but this car thief was very good at hiding himself. He was like a dragon that was hard to find. Du Haijing, a great person, couldn't catch him and had never even met him once.
After Shen Cheng became a transcendent, Du Haijing no longer protected him secretly to avoid being discovered.
Du Haijing was not surprised by Shen Cheng's peculiarities, such as his ability to seize the enemy's abilities. If he was not so special, Du Tianming would not have taken him so seriously.
During this period, Du Haijing realized that Shen Cheng had been looking for her. In order to hide her whereabouts, she deliberately disguised herself as Congressman Han's wife.
It's not just because Councilman Han's personality is very similar to Xiao Qingque's adoptive father, but also because she wants to relive the peaceful life of a family of three.
Recently, Du Haijing once again received an order from Du Tianming - if Shen Cheng's strength grows to extraordinary, he will be subjected to a test that is enough to kill him. If he passes, 99% of the source blood in his body will be given to him, and then he will be taken to the capital of Hanyun Province, where Du Tianming has a laboratory with words for Shen Cheng.
Therefore, even if Shen Cheng and Xiao Qingque did not find Du Haijing, Du Haijing would show up on his own initiative after a while.
Since the two of them came to him on their own initiative, Du Haijing decided to immediately follow Du Tianming's order, conduct a high-intensity test on Shen Cheng, and give him her own source blood.
Moreover, Du Haijing decided to go a step further and give all the source blood to Shen Cheng.
