The young man looked at Lilith from the corner of his eye, looking down at her with slight contempt and irritation.
"Lilith, I hope you do not forget who helped you become the Family Head," he said icily.
Lilith bowed her head even lower, clenching her fists. That year... without the Crown Prince's help, indeed, she wouldn't be able to erase all the hidden obstacles around her and become the Family Head of the Vampire Clan...
At that time she already knew that the Crown Prince wouldn't help her for nothing. He helped her so that she would swear her loyalty to him, and she accepted his help because she needed it. Both of them were simply using each other...
However, just because he helped her once, did that mean she had to bow her head to him every single time? Without her support, would he be able to win the smaller clans' support?
Lilith felt a well of bitterness inside her heart. Although the crown prince had helped her become the Family Head of the Vampire Clan, he did not help her suppress the Shadow Demons... this was rather infuriating.
Now, not only did he stop her plans, he was also punishing her! Lilith's heart was filled with grievances.
The young man, no, the crown prince ignored Lilith's angry face and stood up.
"I don't want something like this to happen again," he said.
After saying those words, he stood up and walked out of the room. Each step he took made a slow, small, tap as his boots clicked across the floor. He walked slowly out of the room, his eyes shining like a predator.
When the young man, followed by Xiao Niao, finally exited Lilith's mansion, he turned around and looked at the mansion one last time.
"The Vampire Clan... It seems like Lilith is getting more and more out off hand," the man sighed.
"Master," Xiao Niao spoke, looking at him worriedly.
"Do you have any orders for me, Master?"
"Keep an eye on the Vampires," the man spoke. "If they start to act out of line, we'll have to take care of them properly..." the man smirked, his eyes glinting dangerously.
Xiao Niao bowed his head as a shudder ran through his back. Sometimes, his Master acted so laid back that he forgot that his Master was no ordinary person.
Who was his Master?
His Master was none other than the Crown Prince of the Phantom Realm, Chen Longfei! The one who would one day rule the Phantom Realm and destroy the Cloud Realm! He was not someone to be trifled with!

Meanwhile, Feng Yongrui had no idea that all of this was happening. He was back in the stables doing his job faithfully. Today, he had discovered that Xu Chao had his own people.
That man in black was either Xu Chao's spy or assassin of some sort... It would be better if he told his Boss about it, Feng Yongrui thought.
Now that this urgent matter was completed, Feng Yongrui organized his thoughts. He had to find out Xu Chao's schedule, likes and dislikes, and he also had to help Stan get out of that place...
Feng Yongrui racked his brains. He felt like he had forgotten something important, but what could it be?
"Ah! I remember!" Feng Yongrui cried out loud, scaring the stallions who were standing near him.
"I haven't done my Daily Mission!" Feng Yongrui cried.
Ever since he came to this world, he had been so busy doing this and that, and he ended up forgetting to do his Daily Missions. His Daily Missions could be considered as his source of income, so how could he forget about them?!
Feng Yongrui quickly opened the Daily Missions page and looked at the missions he could do...

Meanwhile, in the Cloud Realm, the third prince and fifth princess were still locked in a fierce battle. The fifth princess' eyes were red with fury as she pushed back the third prince over and over again.
The third prince's hair was in a mess and he hastily blocked another blow. He glared at the fifth princess, anger boiling inside his heart.
This woman was nothing but a piece of trash! Her mother was just a lowly maid! Who was she to step over him and try to fight him?
Also! Where was Lilith? Didn't she promise to help him? The third prince's mind was in a mess.
He suddenly came to a realization.
Did Lilith double cross him?
No way... There was no way she would do that...
But the more he thought about it, the more it made sense, and the angrier he became. The third prince couldn't stand it anymore and swung his sword at the fifth princess.
The princess cocked an eyebrow.
"Oh? You've got more energy to fight?" she sneered.
The third prince rolled his eyes. "I'm done playing around and stalling for time. Today, you'll die by my hand!" he roared.
The two began to fight again, this time even more viciously than before. Standing to the side with an invisibility spell was none other than Chen Tengfei.
Chen Tengfei looked leisurely at the fight before him. By his side stood a woman who was holding a fan and waving it for him.
"What a lovely sight," Chen Tengfei grinned as he watched his half-siblings fight.
"Have you sent someone to call the Heavenly Immortal here?" Chen Tengfei asked.
The woman nodded her head. "I have. He should be coming here any minute now."
"Hahaha... Marvelous... I just don't understand, though. I thought Lilith would show up," Chen Tengfei said.
The woman looked at him and tilted her head. "I thought you knew that Lilith wouldn't show up... You said that Lilith wasn't helping the third prince for good reasons..."
"Of course Lilith wasn't helping him out of the kindness of her heart... I just thought she would show up and backstab the third prince," Chen Tengfei said, smiling gently.
"Seeing my beloved step-brother's face twisted in fury as he gets double crossed will definitely be entertaining, right? Also, I was hoping that Lilith would show up, so that I could get a glimpse of her."
"...Are you planning on bringing Lilith over to your side?" the woman asked.
"Well, it would be great to bring her over to my side. But that would be rather difficult, don't you think?" Chen Tengfei curled his lips in a cruel smile.
"Breaking her wings and making her obedient to me would surely be lovely... But I'm a realistic person. Someone like Lilith can't be controlled. She's too risky... a pawn like her won't know her place..." Chen Tengfei clicked his tongue.
"In fact, I sometimes wonder why the Crown Prince of the Phantom Realm still keeps her around. Isn't she too dangerous? You never know what she's thinking, and she isn't one to be controlled by others..."
"Then... will you kill her?" the woman asked.
"Kill her? I don't know about that. It would be better if I could replace her with someone else... Someone who's loyal to me..."
The woman beside him looked at him with wide eyes.
"Replace her? You mean... to place one of our people as the Vampire Clan's Family Head?" she asked, gaping openly at him.
"Haha, why not? After all, the Cloud Realm isn't my only target," Chen Tengfei gave a small, cold smile that did not reach his eyes.
"I want the Cloud Realm, the Human Realm, and even the Phantom Realm to fall under my rule..." Chen Tengfei grinned, his icy eyes peering at the woman next to him.
"If I want to control the Phantom Realm, shouldn't I start by taking control of those small clans?"
The woman looked at Chen Tengfei's expression and couldn't help feeling a wave of fear grow inside her heart. This person... was dangerous.
There were many people in the world who had dreams... But not all of them would dream this big.
There were many people in the world who had ambitions... But not many of them would actually act based on their ambitions...
No, even if they wanted to act out their ambitions, who would actually manage to succeed? Who had the strength, the intelligence, and the capability to not only aim for the heavens and actually reach the heavens?
No... No one, only this person before would be able to do it! This person... Chen Tengfei!

Feng Yongrui yawned as he lay in bed. It was night time already, and he had finished writing his daily reports for his Boss. Feng Yongrui wanted to go to sleep, but one of his Daily Missions was to stay awake all night.
Since it was relatively simple and wouldn't do him much harm, Feng Yongrui had decided to do it. Wasn't it just staying awake all night? It wasn't like he never did it before...
Well, the difference was that there were no TVs or phones here...
Feng Yongrui tossed and turned in bed. It was boring to do nothing like this.
Why didn't he turn on his Invisibility and fly around the mansion? It sounded a bit dangerous... but Feng Yongrui was really bored, and he had nothing better to do anyway.
"Host, don't you think you're looking for trouble?" the System chastised him.
Feng Yongrui rolled his eyes. "I'm doing this because I'm going to investigate Xu Chao..." Feng Yongrui said. "I'm just doing this because of my Boss' orders, not because I'm bored or anything..."
The System: =_=
