Selene looked at the suddenly changing sky with surprise, and while taking off her clothes, she exclaimed, "Is it going to rain today? The accuracy of the weather forecast never disappoints."
Luke smiled but didn't correct her, saying, "I always thought vampires were supposed to sleep in coffins during the day. I didn't expect you to come looking for me on a sunny day."
Selene rolled her eyes. "That's a stereotype about vampires; we were once human."
"If we could, who wouldn't want to run freely in the sun?"
A hint of yearning flashed in Selene's eyes.
She had been turned into a vampire by Viktor when she was very, very young.
Hundreds of years of dark living and memories had caused her impression of sunlight to gradually blur.
After all, a vampire's brain capacity is that of an ordinary person. Over time, vampires can suffer mental breakdown due to the massive volume of memories.
This is also one of the reasons why many vampires prefer to sleep.
"Oh, if it's just something minor like that, I actually have many ways."
Luke looked Selene's slender figure up and down; the tight black leather clothes outlined a fantastic curve.
Selene was slightly startled internally and subconsciously straightened her chest, becoming a bit more serious. "You have a way?"
However, as soon as she spoke, she shook her head with a self-deprecating laugh.
She must be crazy to think that a human could solve the vampire's curse.
And judging by Luke's tone, he had more than one method.
How could that be? If there were so many methods, why hadn't a single vampire stumbled upon a successful solution in a thousand years?
"It's not difficult, especially for a female vampire."
Luke said meaningfully.
As long as the person could be entered into the Reality Editor, he could use the editor to change the character object's notes, thereby allowing the person to gain the ability to move in sunlight.
This was the simplest and safest method.
Selene's heart fluttered. She was very hopeful about what Luke said, yet she still found it hard to believe.
"You don't understand vampires. If we, who are vampires, have no solution, then who understands vampires better than a vampire?"
Selene forcefully suppressed her distracting thoughts. She hadn't come here to discuss sun-walking vampires.
"Oh? What if I really can do it?"
Luke's gaze moved up to the fangs visible at the edge of Selene's red lips.
He was pondering the difference between female vampires and human women in certain special scenarios.
This was a very serious academic question that he believed many people were quite curious about.
"Impossible!" Selene shook her head without hesitation.
"Then shall we make a bet?" Luke was not angered by the skepticism.
Selene curled the corner of her mouth and said confidently, "Fine. If you really have a way, I will grant you one request, but if..."
"There is no 'if'."
Luke interrupted her. "Do you know about the Vampire Chapter?"
"Huh?" Selene looked confused and shook her head blankly.
"There is a mysterious magic book on Earth called the Darkhold. This is the compendium of dark magic created by Chthon, the Elder God of dark magic, and it records countless powerful and coveted magic spells."
"Among them is recorded an ancient ritual—the Vampire Chapter!"
"The Vampire Chapter records ancient magic to improve vampires, allowing them to become perfect beings unafraid of sunlight, silver, garlic, and other weaknesses!"
Selene was stunned as she listened. Seeing Luke speak with such certainty, as if he had witnessed it firsthand, she couldn't help but believe him somewhat, and her breathing quickened.
"Where is the Darkhold?"
Luke thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "Perhaps it is in the hands of a dark magic witch named Agatha, or maybe at Kamar-Taj, or possibly with S.H.I.E.L.D."
Selene secretly noted these names. However, aside from S.H.I.E.L.D., the other two names were completely unfamiliar; even with her six hundred years of experience, she had no related memories.
"Of course, this method will be difficult to prove, because it is simply impossible for your branch of vampires to take the Darkhold from the former two."
"Even if you gather the entire vampire race, you only have at most a thirty percent chance of winning."
Luke shattered Selene's fantasy as soon as he spoke.
This made Selene quite anxious. "Impossible! We vampires are the rulers of the night. Last night, we were just unprepared."
Seeing the continued doubt in Luke's eyes, Selene retorted indignantly, "Our branch of vampires has three great Vampire Elders! They possess the purest bloodline, and every one of them is incredibly powerful!"
"Moreover, as far as I know, besides our lineage, there are other vampire clans in other regions. If we unite, we could even overthrow human rule!"
Luke shrugged noncommittally. "Alright, let's try another method."
"Besides the Darkhold, if you become my woman, I can also help you solve the sun's curse."
"Ah?"
Selene was even more skeptical. She thought of something, parted her red lips, and chuckled, "Child, are you trying to court me? Although you are handsome and very capable, and I do like your type, you must understand that I am already six hundred and twenty years old!"
"Of course, as long as there is enough blood supply, a vampire's lifespan is endless, and I will remain eternally youthful. This age difference is not a problem at all."
"But how can you, with a lifespan of only a century, be together with a vampire who has an endless lifespan?"
Selene leaned forward, revealing a patch of fair skin. "Child, for both our sakes, you'd best abandon certain unrealistic ideas, unless... you also join us and become a member of the vampire race!"
"So... do you desire eternal life?"
Luke's mouth curved slightly. "I'm sorry, I don't need it."
"Hmm?!" Selene was momentarily confused. Luke's reaction was different from what she had imagined!
In the past, even great figures would become incredibly frantic upon hearing they had a chance to receive a vampire's embrace and gain eternal life.
Selene said unwillingly, "That's eternal life! Don't you have a fear of old age and death? If you become a vampire, you could easily live through countless centuries and see the world evolve without becoming a frail old man!"
"What I mean is, I don't need to become a vampire to have eternal life. It's actually not difficult."
Selene rolled her eyes. "Fine, suit yourself. Just don't regret it later."
Selene was annoyed. This was the first time she had offered the embrace to someone else, but she didn't expect the person to treat it with such disdain.
Hmph, you are young now. When you are old and frail fifty or sixty years from now, I will come find you again and see if you regret it!
She had seen plenty of people like this.
They were arrogant in their youth, with plenty of time to squander.
In old age, even the most ambitious people would fear death.
It was simply human nature.
"Alright, you didn't just come here because you wanted to bite me and take a big gulp of my blood, did you?"
Luke raised his eyes and looked at her. "But speaking of which, if you really could bite me and suck a small amount of blood, it might actually solve the problem of not being able to withstand the sun."
After Luke had applied so many character templates and added points multiple times, his life essence had long transcended the mortal realm, becoming a true divine life form!
Moreover, he was not an ordinary god like those of the Aesir.
If a vampire could digest his blood, after incorporating those numerous mysterious factors, mutation and strengthening would certainly occur.
Luke didn't think he was inferior to Marcus and Alexander Corvinus, the progenitors of Selene's line of vampires.
Selene became eager upon hearing this.
Looking at Luke's exposed neck and arms, she felt an impatient urge.
She wanted to eat him.
But Selene finally suppressed the hunger in her heart and said with a wry smile, "Don't say things like that in front of a vampire. If it were any other vampire, they would definitely find a way to take a bite."
"If it's a beautiful female vampire, I wouldn't mind letting her bite in separate places."
"What?"
Selene was quite bewildered.
Shaking her head vigorously, she said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Perhaps we can proceed with the next transaction."
"I need your help!"
"I am willing to pay enough compensation, as long as you are willing to help me deal with the bastards who killed my entire family!"
Luke raised an eyebrow. "Are you talking about Viktor?"
Selene: ???
When I type question marks, either you have a problem or I have a problem.
Viktor is my adoptive father!!
