Rebirth of the Strongest Empress - Chapter 2623: Fighting the Skies (4)

A conversation with a handsome stranger leaves Ariane chained in a cellar with a strange affliction. She soon discovers that the darkness of the nineteenth century’s Deep South hides many dangers. Mages, wolf shifters and the humans who hunt them play a risky game where to stumble is to die, all under the amused gaze of the apex predators of the supernatural world: vampires.

It is never healthy to attract the gaze of the aristocracy of the night. It takes much to survive in this merciless world, but Ariane will not let that deter her. The southern belle has a bite, and she is willing to learn and to grow in this hostile new world. She will use whatever means necessary to reclaim her freedom, be it guile, charm, or those intriguing new instincts that make blood so delectable.

This is a story of vampires as I believe they should be, with their strengths and weaknesses, with their remnants of humanity and the beast inside. Updates every Friday. Mind the tags.

Chuang Shi Shen created a system world in Boredom, where thousands of NPCs travel in various time and space to help the host fulfill his wish. Bei Qiu is one of the NPCs, an NPC whose teeth are stuck in cold water. She protested that NPCs also need to have love, affection, meme, and papapa! Someone directly threw her into the female supporting role strategy system! One of the most difficult and cheating system! Bei Qiu said: “Leader, I am with you, can you hold your hand high?” Zhong Yexuan said: Get out. Raiders president, Raiders monk, why did she become the zombie king? Do you want to attack the orcs who can solve their animal desires anywhere? She said no!
