The villainous prince who bullied Feng Aotian was actually myself.

Philippa said, "But if it's a boy, he might be like you and not want to be a girl."

"Then let's not advance to the King level and stay at the Obsidian level."

Leon said, "Anyway, he's a vampire, so there's no need to worry about him dying from old age."

"So, you want me to take your child's surname, have my surname, and stay in the Thorn Forest?"

Philippa frowned slightly, looking somewhat unhappy.

"According to your vampire clan's rules of female superiority and male inferiority, shouldn't it take your surname?"

Leon was puzzled; how come he had never noticed before that Philippa was such a sentimental girl?

"Yes, that's how it is according to the rules of the vampire clan, but you're different. Your identity is too special."

Philippa said.

"That's true, but vampires are indeed not suitable to live with me in the human empire, and the leaders of the human empire must also be human, which is for the prosperity of the human race."

Leon said helplessly.

"Alright, thinking about it this way, it does seem unreasonable for a vampire to become a princess or prince in a human empire."

Philippa leaned her head against Leon's chest and said.

Why did you suddenly want to have a child?

Leon asked curiously.

"Because I'm still afraid you'll abandon me. If we had a child, perhaps—"

"You idiot!"

Leon reached out and ruffled Philippa's long, smooth hair. "Why do women always think of using a child to keep a man? If that man doesn't even love you, how can he love your child?"

"Is it?"

"Yes, a child can't keep a man."

Leon said, "It only works if you love each other."

"But you've never said you love me?"

Philippa said.

"If you really want to say 'I love you,' then listen up, Philippa—I, Leon, love you."

Leon smiled and pinched Philippa's cheek.

"Heh, man."

Philippa's furrowed brows relaxed, revealing a mocking smile. "Don't lie to yourself. Can a man really fall in love with multiple women? You probably only say that when you're holding me like this."

"Look, she doesn't believe me even after I tell her, and she wants me to tell her again."

Leon joked in a strange voice.

"You also said that I am a person with great love. What is great love? It would be very long to explain in detail, but in the final analysis, the person who loves what they love must love more than the ordinary person."

Leon continued.

"You're always so glib, but I'm completely fooled by your sweet talk."

Philippa gave Leon a hard kiss on the lips and said that, then her hands began to wander restlessly over Leon's body.

"You seem to have recovered."

Philippa flipped over and sat on Leon.

"No matter what, I really want to have a baby with you."

She smiled mischievously.

Ugh, this woman!

Before Leon could react, he was enveloped tightly by something soft, as if he were melting...

Chapter 43 The Bewildered Faceless

The western shore of the Coral Sea.

Kasali stood on a small sand dune, looking at the dark mass of human soldiers clad in black soft armor.

"I am Kassa Ling, and I am in charge of providing support for the adults on their journey to the Thorn Forest."

Kasharin jumped down the sand dune and walked up to the soldiers' leader.

This was a tall, thin man with a sharp jawline, giving him a menacing and unapproachable appearance.

"Hello, I am Bloomfield, you can call me Hawkeye. I am here on the orders of His Majesty Leon to cooperate with the vampires in the campaign to attack Rivertan City."

Hawkeye stepped forward and extended his hand to Kassa Ling.

"Yes, Lord Hawkeye. Let's not delay, let's go."

Kasharin ignored Hawkeye's handshake gesture and turned to lead the way.

"Everyone, keep up, run forward!"

Hawkeye shouted something to the soldiers behind him, and the messengers in the front row relayed the order down from one rank to the next.

The group began their march.

After walking less than two kilometers, the once azure and golden sandy beach suddenly disappeared in front of us, replaced by an extremely silent black forest.

The vegetation in this forest was so dense, with trees reaching over fifty meters in height, their branches and leaves so thick they blocked out the sun. This vegetation consisted only of black and dark purple; no other colors were visible.

Many of these soldiers were seeing the legendary Thorn Forest for the first time, and most of them looked on with immense amazement. Like high school students entering university for the first time, they looked around curiously, eager to enter this new and wondrous world.

The soldiers entered the thorn forest in an orderly manner. As soon as they stepped into the forest area, the sea and beach behind them disappeared. If they looked back, they could only see new soldiers constantly emerging behind them, as if they had suddenly appeared out of thin air.

Soon, all the soldiers entered the Thorn Forest, and the Thorn Forest was completely cut off from the outside world.

“Mr. Hawkeye, our Holy Maiden wishes to see you privately. Your Majesty Leon has given her another core plan, and she needs to coordinate with you.”

Kassa Ling gave Hawkeye a graceful bow and a polite smile.

"okay."

Hawkeye nodded without hesitation. "Lead the way."

"You all rest here and wait for me to come back."

Then, Hawkeye turned around and gave orders to the soldiers behind him.

"Then please follow me, Lord Hawkeye."

Kassa Ling led Hawkeye through the thorny forest, quickly getting further and further away from the soldiers.

"Why did your Holy Maiden travel so far to see me alone?"

Hawkeye stopped in his tracks.

"Of course we have to go to the nearest castle. Our Saintess can't just wander into the woods, can she?"

Kashaling laughed.

"Castle? Heh, what tricks are you vampires playing? Are you trying to sabotage the good cooperation between the Empire and the vampires?"

Hawkeye reached out and grabbed at Kassa Ling; his five fingers immediately became sharp and curved, just like eagle claws.

Kashar reacted quickly, dodging Hawkeye's grab with a swift movement.

But Hawkeye had already produced a crossbow that gleamed with an eerie light. He quickly dodged and leaped back, drawing the bow and firing the arrow in one fluid motion. A fiery arrow shot towards Kassalin.

On the arrowhead was a sinister and eerie eye. Kasha Ling kept leaping and dodging using the moonlight, but the eye on the arrow seemed to see through everything and could even follow Kasha Ling through spatial leaps, relentlessly chasing after her.

"You can't dodge it. Once my arrow is shot, it won't stop unless it pierces your heart."

Hawkeye laughed.

But soon he stopped laughing.

His gaze began to turn serious.

A slender, white hand reached out from the void and directly pinched the shaft of the rapidly flying arrow with her fair and long index and middle fingers.

The moment the arrow was caught, the strange eye on the arrowhead seemed to see something terrifying. Its eyeball, filled with blood vessels, rapidly expanded like an inflated balloon, and finally exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

At this moment, the owner of the slender white hand also fully revealed her figure.

It was Philippa's mother, Marquis Leticia.

After Leticia revealed herself, another equally beautiful vampire woman appeared in the nearby Thorn Forest—she was Marquis Elena, Sophia's mother.

In the vampire clan, titles are ranked according to strength, with marquises and some special nobles being unparalleled angels.

The Duke is a Glory-level Archangel King, but currently, apart from a few ancient and nameless monsters sleeping in coffins, there are no active Dukes among the vampires.

"You can go now. You can leave the rest to me and Elena."

Leticia said.

"Ok."

Kasali knew that the battle was unparalleled, and that getting involved would not help her and might even be a hindrance, so she simply ran away.

"To deal with a mere peak King-level expert like me, your vampire clan actually sent two peerless angels. Isn't that making a mountain out of a molehill?"

Hawkeye clicked his tongue.

"It's come to this, are you still going to keep acting?"

Elena said.

"play?"

Hawkeye feigned confusion. "I don't understand what you're talking about. I came here on a mission from the Emperor of the Human Empire, and you've openly betrayed our cooperation. Do you know what the consequences of your actions will be?"

"I don't know, why don't you tell me—what kind of consequences would there be?"

Leticia smiled, then her expression turned serious, and she said in a mocking voice, "The legendary Mr. Faceless—no one has ever seen your true face."

Hawkeye's body stiffened abruptly upon hearing the words "Faceless".

"When...did you find out?"

A cold, expressionless voice.

"It was your King Leon who told us to take care of you here."

Leticia answered.

"Leon, huh..."

Faceless sneered, "I underestimated this guy. I didn't expect him to see through me so easily."

"Leticia, stop wasting your breath on him and let's finish this quickly."

After Elena finished speaking, she drew the sword from her waist and charged towards Faceless.

Faceless dodged Elena's attack with all his might and used the handle of his bow to knock Elena back.

Then, his figure changed rapidly, transforming in the blink of an eye from Hawkeye to Seth, and the bow and arrow in his hand turned into a thick, long broadsword.

He swung his sword fiercely at Elena, each strike brimming with power, forcing Elena to retreat repeatedly.

But just as he was about to unleash a powerful slash, he raised his sword high, and at the same time, he raised his other hand as well.

This stance is clearly one of surrender.

"Wait! I don't want to play anymore!"

"Faceless shouted."

This successfully stopped Leticia from attacking, who was about to strike.

"Was Leon's instruction to you really to kill me here?"

The faceless one asked the question.

"So what if it is, and so what if it isn't?"

Leticia answered.

"I surrender. You think you can kill me so easily? We've all worked so hard to reach the Unparalleled level. Who doesn't want to live a good life? If we fight to the death today, no matter who dies or gets hurt, none of us three will benefit. Why should we keep fighting?"
