Chapter 2297 - 2257: Vampires Also Have a Few Days Each Month That Are the Most Painful

Underneath this castle, almost all are vampires, and their ages might range from hundreds of years to just decades.

Ye Qiu sat there for half an hour, noticing an increasing number of vampires below and the pervasive haze, he chose not to stay longer.

Instead, he headed towards where Adeline lived.

Upon arrival, the two young maids saw Ye Qiu approaching, and were evidently frightened of this young man.

After all, even Adeline the Queen was afraid of this young man.

"Where is your queen?"

"She... she’s cultivating."

Cultivating?

Actually, besides drinking blood, vampires also need to cultivate, and their cultivation involves absorbing the dark original force of the moon.

In this regard, it seems somewhat similar to Louise and her companions.

However, fundamentally, they are not of the same kind.

Louise and her companions are truly human and worship Satan.

While the vampires before him worship Cain.

It’s indeed different.

At this time, in a secret chamber within a basement, a beam of moonlight directly shines down from above the castle, illuminating the entire chamber.

Now Adeline sits inside, bathing in the moonlight.

Under the moonlight, she appears to be in deep pain.

Something seems to be growing from her back, yet it doesn’t fully emerge.

These vampires, like those women, experience a few days every month that are extremely painful and uncomfortable, but unlike women who have menstrual periods,

Adeline suffers greatly, feeling as though her entire body does not belong to her.

Generally, this occurs for several days each month.

Many vampires actually think this is likely caused by the rejection reaction from absorbing the blood of other living beings within them.

However, if they go long without absorbing human blood or animal blood, their skin becomes dry and unsightly.

Their skin resembles the wrinkled skin of elderly people.

The two young maids are very anxious because these days are precisely when Queen Adeline is most miserable, and she stays in the secret chamber, wanting no disturbances.

Unexpectedly, after the young man left, he returned again.

"What is she cultivating?" Ye Qiu asked.

"Absorbing dark original force."

Absorbing dark original force?

It sounds similar to Louise and her companions.

In fact, Ye Qiu didn’t know that these vampires also experience several days of intense pain.

Some vampires can’t endure it, growing extremely long fangs, and even their backs look repulsive.

Undoubtedly, to these vampires, the most painful thing is the sensation of their bodies almost not belonging to them.

Ye Qiu knows what dark original force is, and he knows that Louise usually cultivates, but her cultivation is somewhat different from his, primarily focused on moonlight essence.

However, the meridians through which it enters their bodies differ.

Ye Qiu’s transformation involves spiritual energy entering, then turning into true qi.

But, this dark original force is a type of energy bestowed by moonlight, as for how this energy functions, Ye Qiu hasn’t cultivated and naturally cannot feel it; besides, it’s unseen to the naked eye.

"How long will she need to cultivate?"

"Possibly four days and nights."

Four days and nights?

Ye Qiu found it strange.

Such a long time?

Originally, Ye Qiu didn’t want to disturb the other party, but waiting for such a long time wasn’t feasible for him.

However, he felt something odd about it.

Even though these vampires can go four days and nights without eating, similar to humans who cultivate fasting, surviving without food and drink for long periods,

But now?

These vampires surprisingly do the same.

As Ye Qiu was preparing to leave, he suddenly heard a scream.

The scream made the two young maids feel scared.

"What sound is that?"

"It’s the voice of Queen Adeline."

"Why is it like that?"

"It’s like this every time."

One young maid replied.

It’s like this every time?

Ye Qiu found it strange again.

When Ye Qiu planned to push open the door to the secret chamber, the two maids tried to stop him, but after receiving a look from Ye Qiu, they hurriedly stepped back a few steps.

Their feeling from Ye Qiu’s gaze was simply terrifying.

Ye Qiu pushed open the door to the secret chamber and entered inside; at first, it was pitch black, but then he saw a beam of light shining down from above.

This should be moonlight, very clear in nature.

But apart from that place being illuminated by moonlight, there was no light anywhere else.

Under that moonlight was Adeline; at this moment, Adeline seemed to be unclothed, sitting there.

The scream moments ago came from her.

Ye Qiu looked over, feeling astounded as Adeline’s back seemed to grow something black, looking incredibly frightening.

What is that?

Could it be wings?

It’s been said before that vampires can fly, turning into bats.

However, Ye Qiu did not believe vampires could actually turn into bats.

If vampires could fly, he felt it quite likely.

This black thing was indistinguishable; as Ye Qiu got closer, he indeed saw something emerging from her shoulder, but it quickly retracted back.

Adeline opened her eyes; she had seen the person who entered, initially thinking it was one of the young maids, ready to lose her temper, but unexpectedly, it was this young Chinese man.

How could he come in?

"Why did you come in?" Adeline asked.

"I was about to leave but came to check after hearing your scream, and saw something black seems to grow from your shoulder."

"Leave quickly, I need to continue cultivating."

Adeline endured the pain and said.

Women during menses, if experiencing menstrual pain, find the agony unbearable.

And now Adeline’s pain is ten times or even a hundred times more severe than menstrual cramps.

She cannot describe it.

Previously she wasn’t disturbed by others, yet this time was disrupted by the young man.

"I’m a doctor, I can help you check."

Doctor?

Adeline was speechless.

As she closed her eyes again, the moonlight continued shining through, Adeline continued cultivating, but periodically, her shoulders seemed to grow things, during those times the pain caused her to scream out.

Ye Qiu saw it up close and indeed noticed.

It seemed like wings growing but could retract.

When retracted, they were invisible.

Ye Qiu discovered that this differed from what he read in books and the consciousness of souls he absorbed regarding vampires.

Moreover, this is completely different from domestic zombies, an entirely distinct species.
