The boundless Blood Sea surged.
The entire sky was dyed a bloody red.
The flowing clouds hung like bloodstains falling from the horizon, pressing heavily in the air.
Luo Ning had been awake for some time now.
When she first woke up, she was completely disoriented.
Before she could even recall what had happened.
Then, a sharp pain erupted on the left side of her neck, as if something had bitten her. The pain instantly spread through her entire body, even into the depths of her soul…
It wasn’t painful, but it was very tingling and numbing.
Luo Ning felt her soul tremble, and her toes cramped several times…
After she calmed down, her mind gradually cleared, and most of the confusion faded.
Logically, her “Newbie Gift Pack” should have appeared by now, right?
She had even actively shown up in person.
Why was he completely ignoring her?
He had just locked her up in this place with nothing but the Blood Sea and the sky.
“Ugh…” Luo Ning sighed and slowly stood up from the Blood Sea.
That’s right, Luo Ning could walk on this Blood Sea as if it were solid ground. She could even lie down to sleep; in short, she wouldn’t sink.
Luo Ning inexplicably started to miss the ceiling guy she had seen when she woke up this morning.
She was very familiar with that ceiling guy; at least he had sheltered her from the wind and rain for many years.
This strange place only made Luo Ning feel oppressed.
“Hey, hey, sis or bro, stop copying me. I already knew you weren’t human!”
Luo Ning crouched down, looking at her reflection under the Blood Sea.
It was exactly the same as her appearance, still the cute pink-haired little girl.
Luo Ning seriously suspected that her Newbie Gift Pack was her reflection!
Based on her past-life web novel experience.
And…
Aside from the Blood Sea and the sky, there was only her and her reflection here!
Even if it wasn’t, Luo Ning had to try!
But Luo Ning in the Blood Sea still mimicked her every move without any difference, making it feel like a real reflection.
She tried to raise her hand, and the reflection under the Blood Sea raised its hand simultaneously.
She tilted her head, and the other instantly followed, without any delay.
Looking at the reflection that looked exactly like her in the water, Luo Ning scratched her head. Could it be that she was overthinking?
Luo Ning sighed again, stood up dejectedly, looking defeated and almost resigned.
“Maybe I’m overthinking it…”
But in the next moment, she instantly turned around and made a funny face at the Blood Sea.
After making the face, Luo Ning stared at the figure in the water, waiting for it to react differently.
But the expected abnormal movement didn’t appear. The reflection simply replicated everything perfectly—eyebrows curved, even the angle of the mouth’s curve was exactly the same.
“Hey! You can predict even this? I don’t believe it!”
Luo Ning crossed her arms indignantly, recalling a video she had seen online before.
‘On How AI Cannot Replace Humans—Every Step Is Unpredictable…’
Luo Ning crouched down as if to tie her shoelaces, but then faked a move and did a push-up. Halfway up, she immediately lunged forward into a front roll…
But she didn’t roll successfully; her head directly hit the Blood Sea, causing a splash. She also happened to be thirsty, so she buried her face in it and took a sip.
The taste was actually not bad?
But to be unpredictable, Luo Ning spat out the remaining blood water in her mouth like a “water gun spray.”
While doing these moves, Luo Ning kept a close eye on the reflection in the Blood Sea.
She had some skill! She could actually keep up with her?
She didn’t give up. She changed moves continuously.
Sometimes she suddenly rolled sideways, sometimes she raised her hand pretending to rub her eyes, then instantly made a funny face. The movements were messy, lawless, tricky, and strange.
But the reflection on the sea surface still followed closely, perfectly replicating everything without any deviation—stiff and eerily precise.
Under the heavy, bloody sky, the person and the shadow faced each other from a distance. The only sound in the world was the rustling of the surging Blood Sea.
Luo Ning slowly stopped all her playful actions. She squatted on the surface of the sea, looking at her reflection, put away her playful expression, and lightly furrowed her brows.
“I’ll give you one last chance.”
“I’m not joking! Because I think I have to pee again, and there’s no toilet here…”
Luo Ning’s tone and expression became serious, her face stern without any hint of playfulness.
She really wasn’t frantically testing her reflection just so she could go to the bathroom here…
“…” The reflection.
“Nuwa Girl, you win…”
An ancient language suddenly echoed throughout the entire Blood Sea.
The reflection of Luo Ning in the Blood Sea—her light pink hair—dyed a deep red at a visible speed.
Her brows and eyes also quietly transformed. The original naive and cute look faded, the corners of her eyes slightly raised, and her pupils shifted from pink-gold to pure crimson.
All warmth in the crimson eyes suddenly disappeared. Surging up was a boundless brutality like that of this Blood Sea.
Her pointed ears at her temples became even more delicate and sharp. Two small fangs at the corners of her lips slightly protruded, glowing with a cold, lustrous light. They were no longer cute adornments, but instead carried the nobility and mystery inherent to the Blood Clan.
In a few seconds, that ordinary little girl reflection completely disappeared.
Replacing it was a stunningly beautiful, cold, and glamorous crimson-haired vampire little girl.
The next moment.
The vampire little girl under the Blood Sea suddenly raised her hand and fiercely slapped the Blood Sea. With a loud crash, a blood wave shot up into the sky, clawing like countless bloody claws.
“Holy crap! It really is you!” Luo Ning was startled by the terrifying towering blood wave. Her legs gave way, and she fell backward onto the Blood Sea.
“Tedious probing!”
A cold and violent roar tore through the sky and earth.
The towering blood wave crashed down overwhelmingly, without any buffer, instantly sealing off all of Luo Ning’s escape routes.
“Holy crap! Sis! I was just joking!”
Luo Ning’s pupils sharply contracted. A piercing chill surged up from the bottom of her heart.
She subconsciously turned around to dodge.
Beneath the sea surface, the crimson-haired vampire little girl floated silently in the depths of the Blood Sea.
A pair of scarlet eyes indifferently watched the struggling Luo Ning. There was no warmth in her gaze, only the accumulated boredom and cruelty of endless years.
The blood wave, carrying the oppressive force of devouring everything, slammed down and completely engulfed Luo Ning.
The sweet, icy liquid instantly filled her mouth and nose, cutting off all air. The only sound left was the roar of the surging waves and that eerie, cold voice echoing in the depths of her soul.
“Vessel, becoming my host is the supreme blessing of your life!”
The icy, ancient words, like an unchanging decree, ruthlessly nailed into Luo Ning’s trembling soul.
But…
Just as Luo Ning was completely overwhelmed by the towering Blood Sea, in the last moment before she fell into unconsciousness.
Struggling in the icy, biting blood water, she moved her lips weakly. With her last dying breath, she grumbled with a mouthful of resentment: “Sis… can you… speak Hua Kingdom language…”
“…” Yuanchu Xuezhong.
…
Although Luo Ning had spent a long time in the Blood Sea, only an instant had passed in the outside world.
In the outside Bloodthirsty Domain Secret Realm, the wind was still howling. After Yuanchu Xuezhong devoured Luo Ning, it stopped falling.
Hanging high in midair, a burst of blood light erupted, overwhelming the entire Bloodthirsty Domain.
Screech!!!
The Ancient Kunpeng appeared.
Boundless azure seawater light filled the scarlet sky. Its sky-covering, sun-obscuring giant wings slowly spread, spanning the entire length of the secret realm’s sky.
Just as the Ancient Kunpeng was about to make its move.
A wisp of spiritual wind, so thin that almost no one could detect it, passed through the illusion barrier, gently brushed over the entire bloody secret realm outside, and finally landed on the sky-covering giant wing of the Ancient Kunpeng.
The Ancient Kunpeng fell silent.
In the midair, Li Changqing floated in the wind, looking at the small figure below that was completely wrapped and engulfed by the crimson light. He also fell silent.
His Kunpeng Big Boss hadn’t even made a move yet.
And that cute pink-haired little sister had just…
With a pop, she was gone?
Li Changqing’s voice was hoarse as he looked up at the sky-covering Ancient Kunpeng and asked.
“Big Boss, can she… still be saved?”
