The banquet held by the Senate was grand and luxurious, as the governing body of the vampires, the Senate had a very high status among the vampires, and the vast majority of the nobles did not want to offend the Senate, so they attended on time, and even the pure-bloods were very face-saving one by one.
The arrival of Bai Shen and Li Tu was warmly welcomed by the Senate, led by Yi Weng, and the members of the Senate greeted the two respectfully.
Bai Shen's interest didn't seem to be high, and he excused himself by saying that he was tired after a few pleasantries.
The people in the Senate didn't dare to disturb, so they only exchanged a knowing look with Li Tu and left.
"Uncle, I saw Yuhe in the tree."
Li Tu said that he wanted to go over and chat with the two for a while.
Bai Shen knew that this was just an excuse, but he still nodded in agreement, it was better to say that it was in his mood to act separately.
Bai Shen walked to the courtyard alone, he knew that there were many people around him secretly watching him, but he didn't mind.
The courtyard is where Scarlet Sakura is imprisoned, and the huge cage builds a cruel and cold world.
When Bai Shen walked to the side of the cage, he found that Shu happened to be there, and he looked up at Scarlet Sakura Xian, who was deprived of freedom by the cage, and there was no emotion in his brown eyes.
"What a lovely child" Scarlet Sakura was dressed in a gorgeous and flamboyant kimono, she knelt on the ground elegantly, the smile on her face was very charming, but as long as she looked closely, she could find that there was a bit of madness in those beautiful eyes, "Did you say yes, uncle" When the originally indifferent Shu heard this, he immediately turned around, and after seeing Bai Shen, who was also wearing a kimono, he nodded with some emotion on his face, "Hello." ” "Oh, good polite boy."
Scarlet Sakura suddenly stood up from the ground, she grabbed the iron rod of the cage, as if she wanted to get closer to see the pivot, "It's as well-behaved as the tree back then, it's really nostalgic, we caught butterflies together when we were kids." ” "It's really a very beautiful thing, but it's a pity that it's too fragile, as long as you push a little harder, that beauty will disappear, and eventually evolve into a disgusting ugliness in the palm of your hand."
Apparently aware that Scarlet Sakura's mind was not in a normal state, he politely said, "I'll take my leave first."
Scarlet Sakura smiled idly, but did not stop it, even if she was imprisoned in such a place, her posture was still noble and inviolable. \ "Pivot."
Bai Shen stopped the Shu who was about to leave, and he smiled softly: "Aren't you with your parents?"
"Sorry, I'm a little bad at dealing with too many people."
A gentle smile appeared on his face, "I'll go back now." ” "Is it" Of course Bai Shen is not naïve enough to believe the nonsense of the cardinal, if this kid has the heart, I'm afraid that no matter how many people can deal with it calmly, "It's dangerous here, it's better for you to go back early." ” "Yes" Shu hesitated for a long time, and finally said the title, "Grandpa." ” Grandpa Bai Shen was slightly stunned for a moment, but he quickly came back to his senses, according to his seniority, he was indeed the grandfather of the card, but this title was really a little subtle.
Forget it, now is not the time to care about this kind of problem, he stretched out his hand, rubbed the cardinal's hair, and said meaningfully again: "I know that you are a sensible child, since this place is dangerous, you should leave quickly, right?"
Shu's eyes were slightly dark, as the ancestor of the Jiulan family who had lived for tens of thousands of years, he immediately heard the sound of Bai Shen.
Knowing that he doesn't like to be touched on the head, he still made such a move, is this a reminder to him?
"I see."
Shu nodded at Bai Shen, "I'll tell my parents." ” This kid was really too smart, Bai Shen didn't say anything more, and Shu also turned around and left with interest.
After sending the card, Bai Shen moved his gaze to Scarlet Sakura Xian, the once young child has really grown up, and he can't find the childish appearance of the year from Xian's body, "It's been a long time, Xian, do you want me to save you out?"
The straightforward words, the undisguised intentions, not only Scarlet Sakura, but even the vampires who were monitoring Bai Shen were shocked.
How bold is this person, this is the base camp of the Senate, and there are people who are crazy and want to snatch people from the hands of the Senate Compared to the vampires who were still in shock, Scarlet Sakura quickly chuckled, "It's worthy of being an uncle, and I can always speak amazingly, but in my current state, even my uncle is powerless, not to mention that I betrayed you and Li Tu, what is the value of me for you to save?"
"Is it" Bai Shen looked at Xian through the cage like that, his dark pupils were like a whirlpool, as if they would suck people in, "You just need to answer whether you want to or not, if you want, then I can fulfill your wish." ” At this moment, Xian seemed to be bewitched by something strong, and the first thing she felt was the most urgent desire from the depths of her heart rather than being able to or not, "If I say, I think, will you really save me?"
"Of course."
Bai Shen smiled slightly, his attitude was kind, as if he was really a kind elder, but in the next second, his expression changed, and there was no doubt in his tone, "The premise is that after you are free, you must marry Li Tu immediately." ” What Scarlet Sakura's pupils shrank slightly, she really didn't expect Bai Shen to make such a request, she couldn't understand and said, "Why should you already know the person I love?"
"Leisure, you still don't understand" Bai Shen stretched out his hand, and at some point, a colorful butterfly stayed in his palm, "You just said that butterflies are very beautiful things, but compared to the life of pure-bloods, they are short and small, as long as you exert a little force, that beauty will disappear, and the same is true for humans." ” "You know that the end result is just to watch their ugliness, but you are still deeply involved, you fall in love with humans, you are obsessed with humans, you are crazy about humans, you end up like this for humans, why?"
"I" Scarlet Sakura couldn't say the answer, at first, she obviously hated the fragile butterfly so much, but in the end, she was still bewitched by the butterfly's beautiful wings, and she fell in love with the thing she once hated the most.
"Idle, you just don't know what you really want."
Bai Shen unveiled Xian's heart step by step, "Your so-called love, is it really love, maybe you just want someone to pay attention to you, and someone can focus on you alone."
But at the same time, you are a coward, and you will only go to find some creature that is weaker and more beautiful than you, because they dare not resist and cannot resist you.
You can control them to your heart's content, and you can admire them with ease, just like the butterfly that was once held in the palm of your hand.
Your love for humanity is based on these premises. ” "No, it's not like that" Scarlet Sakura couldn't maintain the elegant expression on her face any longer, she hugged her head and clenched her fists in pain.
"If I'm wrong, then idle, tell me, in your life, have you ever liked something stronger than yourself It's not a butterfly, it's not a human being, it's something that can be completely compared to yourself, even if it's only once, then I'll admit that I'm wrong."
Scarlet Sakura's eyes widened, and she began to think desperately that there must have been something stronger than herself in her long life, and this kind of statement was just a fallacy, just like the other party had incited the nobles to deal with the Hunter Guild, so she wouldn't fall for this kind of love for that man, it was obviously so real But no matter what she thought, she couldn't think of it Why is this happening, why can't she find any words that can be refuted, and Scarlet Sakura, who got the final answer, seemed to have all her strength drained, and the expression on her face was blank.
Bai Shen's voice sounded again at the right time, "Xian, now you should understand that it is not the butterfly that is really vulnerable, nor the human you fall in love with, but your heart. ” "My heart" is a blank repetition.
"Don't put on such an expression, I'm not saying this to make you sad."
Bai Shen's hand passed through the enchantment like that, and he touched Xian's head like he did when he was a child, and he raised a gentle smile on his face again, "Because Li Tu is the same." ” When Li Tu heard this name, Scarlet Sakura finally came back to her senses.
"Yes, Li Tu is the same as you, but he doesn't know what he really wants, he is a proud child, so even if he sees a beautiful butterfly, he will never admit that he likes it, but will choose to destroy all this, in order to escape his heart, in a sense, that child's heart may be more fragile than you."
At this moment, memories of the past flooded into Xian's brain, and she realized a very terrible fact, "Could it be that when you caught butterflies, you said everything Li Tu said?"
"I know everything," Bai Shen's eyes were unusually gentle, "As long as it's your business, I know it all, you are all children I watched grow up, of course I hope you can be happy." ” In fact, Bai Shen lied, he didn't know what Li Tu said at that time, but he had to admit it at this time, so as to incite Xian's heart.
"Xian, Li Tu and you are too similar, that's why I hope you can be together."
Bai Shen withdrew his hand, breaking a part of the barrier had consumed too much of his strength, and it was estimated that the people of the Senate would be coming soon, "Since the pure-bloods have an almost infinite lifespan, in such a long time, maybe one day, you can all become the most important person to each other, just like Yuu in the tree" "You" Scarlet Sakura covered her face, and at some point, her tears began to slide down her cheeks uncontrollably, and her clear words made her feel so frightened, her and Li Tu's every move was actually under the control of the other party, as if they were just clowns jumping off the beam, it should be like this, but why did she feel so sad The two contradictory moods continued to impact Xian's heart, making her finally unable to restrain herself from crying bitterly, "Why don't you tell us everything if" "There are no ifs."

The smile on Bai Shen's face was very calm, "You and Li Tu are the kind of characters who don't hit the wall once and won't listen to persuasion at all." ” "What are you going to do" Xian finally realized that something was wrong, because she felt that Bai Shen's body was gathering very terrifying power.
"Accomplish your wish, leisure."
Bai Shen's eyes instantly turned red, this is the manifestation of the pure-blood's use of power, he put his hand on the barrier, and the corrosive power began to pour wildly.
The enchantment arranged by the Senate is naturally not ordinary, if it is Bai Shen at the peak, it may be lifted without much effort, but for him now, it is impossible not to consume most of his strength.
The pouring of "cough" power was beyond the range that his body could bear, Bai Shen covered the coughing up of blood with one hand, and continued to output strength with the other hand.
"Don't beg you like this" Scarlet Sakura also saw that Bai Shen's body was wrong at this time, although she wanted to get out of here, but she didn't want Bai Shen to lose her life for her, but unfortunately Bai Shen didn't care about her screams at all.
The commotion quickly attracted the people of the Senate, and at the same time, the noble vampires at the banquet also rushed to the place where Scarlet Sakura was being held.
At this time, a huge crack had appeared in the barrier, and it began to crumble from above.
Everyone looked at Bai Shen who broke the barrier in disbelief, at this moment, everyone thought that Bai Shen was as crazy as Scarlet Sakura, if he wasn't crazy, how could he do something to rescue people in the base of the Senate Lan Tang Yonglu and some other noble vampires who supported Bai Shen were also a little confused, did the adults plan to save people today, but why didn't they pass through them at all beforehand The scene was at an impasse for a while, the vampires outside the Senate did not dare to stop Bai Shen, and it was even more impossible for these people who served the Jiulan family in Lantang Yonglu to make a move, and in the end, it was Yiweng who took the lead in speaking: "Lord Jiulan Bai, dare to ask you what you are doing to break the barrier and release the sinful Lord Scarlet Sakura, are you planning to provoke a war with the Senate?"
With Yiweng's words, the vampires under the Senate quickly surrounded Bai Shen, and they could see that Bai Shen's condition was very bad, because the other party's lips and clothes were full of blood.
"The sins are heavy" Bai Shen seemed to have heard some funny joke, "Where did the sin come from, where did the sin come from, wasn't it that the Senate deliberately set this trap in order to consolidate its own strength, the hunting list of the Hunters Association was provided by the Senate, why did the idle loved ones appear on the list, did the Senate really not know anything?"
"In order to cooperate with the Hunters' Association, even at the expense of being a pure-blood, is this how the Senate does things?"
Bai Shen raised a cold smile on his face, "I feel deep sadness" Because of the excessive blood loss, Bai Shen's face was unusually pale, which made his statement more convincing, and many nobles rose to sympathize.
Yi Weng knew that he couldn't let Bai Shen continue, but he had suffered a loss once, so naturally it was impossible to eat a second time, so he immediately interrupted Bai Shen, "Lord Bai, please understand the Senate, Lord Xian has indeed committed a deep sin, and it is an indisputable fact that she slaughtered the members of the Hunters' Association.
Even if it is a pure-blood, there should be no special treatment, otherwise it will make other vampires unhappy.
The Senate understands your concern for your juniors, and the Senate is willing to take the blame for this matter, and your health seems to be quite poor, so it is better to let Lord Li Tu send you back to rest first."
"Is it a sin to kill humans" Bai Shen chuckled sarcastically, "Or is it a sin to kill the people of the Hunter Guild, I don't understand, Yiweng, we are vampires, we have a lifespan and strength far beyond humans, we are higher beings than humans, why should we be punished just because we killed a few humans?"
"Doesn't this mean that human beings are more terrible and higher beings than us" Bai Shen's voice seemed to be full of some kind of strange magic, which made the vampires present can't help but fall into it.
"I am saddened not only by the people who are imprisoned here, but also by those who have unfortunately been killed by hunters.
Is it really the right choice to give humans weapons and use humans to kill EVEE?"
"Today they can point their weapons at the vampires of Evee, maybe tomorrow those weapons will be directed at us, no one can guarantee that humanity will not gain greater power, I seem to have seen our race come to an end due to the Senate's wrong decision."
"A scarce number of vampires and humans, who breed like cockroaches."
Bai Shen raised his head slightly, his face was pale, his body was weak, and he even had blood stains on his lips, but his posture was so arrogant, as if he was overlooking the king of all living beings, so that people could not have any sense of resistance, "Yiweng, this is your small instrument, you can only see the immediate benefits, but you abandon the future of the race, ask yourself, do you really have no selfish intentions in everything you do?"
"I" Yiweng's reaction was a beat slower, because he had just been thinking about what to do with Bai Shen, and after realizing that everyone's eyes on him had changed slightly, he immediately replied, "Of course, everything I do is for the future of the race. ” "Hesitated for a second."
Bai Shen laughed lightly, obviously with such a gentle smile, but in Yiweng's eyes, it looked like a demon with teeth and claws, "Why hesitate why can't you give a positive answer right away Because subconsciously, you also agree with my statement, don't you?"
Yiweng's palms began to sweat, and he turned his gaze to Li Tu on the side, but the other party didn't notice his gaze at all, and a pair of eyes were firmly glued to Bai Shen's body, this useless idiot "Ridiculous" Yiweng knew that if he didn't refute, he might become the target of everyone's crusade, so in order to show his determination, he shouted openly: "Even if you are a pure-blood, you can't slander my personality, the Senate has always done its best for everyone, and it will not be mixed with any selfishness" Looking at everyone's gradually soothing eyes, Yiweng knew that he had made the right bet, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Bai Shen smiled and said: "Then I can rest assured, Yiweng, since you have such determination, then you will definitely not oppose the elimination of all the members of the Hunter Association."
What Yiweng was completely confused, what was this man talking about, why he couldn't understand a word, Yiweng had an indescribable deep fear in his heart But before he could finish sorting out his mood, Bai Shen continued: "We don't need anything that can threaten our existence, isn't it okay for us to hunt the vampires of EVEE, or what the Hunter Guild can do, we can't do?"
For the first time, the brains of "this" Weng were in turmoil.
"I believe in you, Yiwent."
Bai Shen slowly walked in front of Yi Weng, he held Yi Weng's hand, and smiled softly: "The amount of weapons you have should be more than that, for the future of the race, it is necessary to eliminate the Hunter Association."
This is not just me, but also all the people here."
All the compatriots present subconsciously raised their heads, everyone's eyes were full of some kind of fanaticism, as if they were going to break the hunters' necks in the next moment, Yiweng's brain was blank, if he refused, let alone his position in the Senate, he would definitely be killed by the angry vampires He heard himself slowly reply in a hollow and feeble voice, "Yes, Lord Bai, as you wish, the Senate will send someone to purge the Hunters' Association. ” "Thank you, Yiweng, with your assurance, I am finally relieved."
The thin white lips were slightly raised, and under the moonlight, the dark eyes quietly flowed with a magnificent color that seemed to make people mad, "Under your leadership, our race will definitely be able to move towards a more brilliant future." ” "Thank you for your compliment, Lord Bai" Although Yiweng tried his best to keep his voice steady, his body couldn't stop trembling slightly.
How can there be such a man in this world is simply a monster, no, a demon There is no way to win at all, and there is not the slightest hope of victory Despair filled his entire heart, and just when Yiweng was violently shaken, he suddenly thought of Li Tu That's right, he still has Li Tu, as long as Li Tu kills that man, then there is no one in this world who can hinder his plan:
