After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain

Chapter 155: Why Didn’t You Choose Me?

Seeing Mary’s face still blank, Yu Li picked up the silver knife from the ground, letting the remaining blood drip onto the gemstone. In the blink of an eye, the gemstone instantly shimmered with dazzling light, like a vibrant, beating heart.

Then, under Mary’s gaze, the hard gemstone gradually became illusory in the woman’s palm, dissolving into a wisp of invisible blue smoke and dispersing into the air with the wind.

Mary stared dumbly at the scene before her, as the woman's voice reached her ears with a hint of amusement.

"If the blood on that knife was Shen Youyou’s heart’s blood, then her ‘heart’ would now be inside my body."

The so-called "heart" was actually Lina’s heart’s blood dripping into the gemstone, turning an ordinary gemstone into a substitute heart.

But ordinary gemstones couldn’t store that powerful force forever. Sooner or later, they would break free of their restraints, silently seep into a human’s body, magnify their inner desires, and even transform them into one of their own without a sound.

Lina knew all this but deliberately never told Master Shen.

From the start, this vampire never intended to coexist peacefully with Master Shen.

Her goal was to strip away everything from Master Shen step by step, turn him into one of her own, and then kill him to reclaim her heart’s blood.

And Master Shen wasn't completely unprepared; he split the gemstone into two, leaving half with his daughter, just in case the vampire tried anything.

But he never expected that in the face of growing greed, his beloved daughter would not only steal the remaining half of the gemstone but also willingly fall and become a vampire.

The reason Lina didn’t kill Shen Youyou at first was because she wanted to wait until she transformed into the same kind before easily retrieving her heart’s blood—and interrogate her for the whereabouts of the remaining piece.

Unexpectedly, the other half ended up in Mary’s hands, and she even betrayed Lina by releasing Shen Youyou.

Yu Li stood up, looking down arrogantly at the other woman, "Only now do I realize, you’ve always hated us vampires. You really do look just like the Shen Youyou from back then."

Mary bowed her head in apparent silence, but inwardly she was so panicked she couldn’t speak, cold sweat pouring down her forehead as her hands clenched against the floor.

Yu Li suddenly clapped her hands, "No, that’s not quite right. There's still a little difference."

She smiled sweetly and said while lowering her head: "After all, her desire to become a vampire was much stronger than yours."

Seeing Mary still silent, she lifted the knife and traced it lightly along Mary’s neck.

"Mary, I told you before, once a human becomes a vampire, her entire mindset changes. Back then, you didn’t seem to quite understand. But now—you should be able to, right? How about it? Feeling thirsty?"

The cold blade brushed across her skin, carrying a faint murderous intent. Mary instinctively shrank her neck, her lips trembling as she tried to speak. But the next second, her pupils quivered violently, breathing quickened, and veins bulged on her neck.

The sweet scent of fresh blood had unknowingly spread through the air—and it wasn’t hers.

It was—

Flowing from the fingertips of the woman before her.

Mary’s eyes turned blood-red. She raised her head, wanting to get closer to that enticing scent, but the remnants of her reason kept screaming warnings.

Don't drink! Don’t drink it! If you drink it, you’ll become a vampire!

Once you turn, the woman in front of you will kill you! She just wants to turn you into one of her kind and then take your heart’s blood to restore her strength!

Absolutely can’t drink it!

She swallowed hard, trying to ignore the sweet scent, but the woman’s enchanting voice kept echoing in her ears.

"I know you really want it. Becoming a vampire would be wonderful, right? You want it too, don’t you? Since Shen Youyou could do it, why couldn’t you?"

When she heard that last line, Mary’s fragile mental defenses instantly crumbled. Her expression twisted with resentment.

Yeah, since Shen Youyou could do it, why couldn’t she?

She was sick of this damned, unchanging life. Becoming a vampire would definitely be different. Just look at Shen Youyou—wasn’t she so obsessed with turning because of all the benefits it brought?

Her gaze fell on the blood-beaded hand in front of her, and obsession and frenzy gradually filled Mary’s eyes. She looked completely deranged, having lost all sense of reason.

As long as she drank the blood, she could become a vampire too.

Seeing her inch closer, Yu Li’s lips slowly curled up.

But just then, her wrist was suddenly grabbed, and her waist was encircled by strong, warm arms. The next moment, the man scooped her up from the ground.

Yu Li: ??

She was rare to be caught off guard, her face blank as she turned her head, "What..."

Before she could finish, her fingertips were suddenly wrapped in a wet, hot sensation. At the same time, she caught sight of the man’s handsome side profile.

He had leaned down slightly, opened his mouth, and tenderly licked away the blood from her fingertips. The blood bloomed across his lips like a red plum blossom in the snow—bewitchingly beautiful.

He licked the blood from his lips, his drooping lashes casting shadows over his eyes, a hint of carelessness hidden within. His nose was high and straight, his cold, refined features like an untouchable flower atop a lonely peak, yet right now he was doing something so intimate it made one's heart race.

Yu Li: "......"

D*mn it, this was the face that made her chase after him in the first place. No matter how many times she looked, she would never get tired of it.

She stared at Bo Jingmo’s face without blinking and finally couldn’t resist leaning in and kissing him in front of the cameras.

Her boyfriend was so handsome.

Meanwhile, after her initial daze, Mary’s mind snapped awake instantly.

Fear filled her eyes as she shuddered violently and scrambled to her feet.

No... no! She didn’t want to become a vampire!!

She didn’t want to die!!

Taking advantage of Yu Li being distracted by Bo Jingmo, Mary rushed toward the door.

Her hand was already reaching for it when a wave of intense killing intent surged from behind.

"Whoosh—"

A sharp blade sliced through the air.

The silver knife instantly pierced the back of her head, stabbing through her entire brain.

Mary’s pupils contracted. She didn’t even have time to scream before collapsing to the ground.

In her dying eyes, there was still a trace of joy at having survived—but now she was just a cold, lifeless corpse.

The man’s hand remained frozen in the throwing posture. Only when Mary collapsed did he calmly lower it, his face full of indifference.

But when he turned to the woman, he wore a completely different expression, gazing at her tenderly. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, his voice dripping with affection, "Your noble bloodline shouldn’t have been wasted on her."

Holding the woman’s wrist, the man suddenly pressed his face into her palm, his demeanor obedient and gentle. He curved his eyes and said softly:

"And besides... why didn’t you choose me?"
