The Contract CEO's Arrogant Pet

24-26

24. Magic Trap and Modern Cable Intertwining

Though the spy was 'recycled,' before he was taken, he frantically activated an ancient magic trap, intending to lock onto Yulia's scent and teleport her back to the castle.

The trap's energy, however, intertwined with the high-voltage cables of a nearby old building. The result was not a teleportation but a high-altitude collapse—a massive chunk of concrete siding detached from the building, plummeting towards the basement entrance where Yulia and Lu Chen were.

25. The CEO's Absolute Protection

Lu Chen's encrypted watch blared a physical impact warning. He had no time to activate the remote shielding.

If he let Yulia use her power to block it, her vampire identity would be completely exposed in a densely populated area.

Lu Chen didn't hesitate; he violently shoved Yulia aside. He abandoned the chance to use high-tech self-preservation and personally rushed forward, using his body to absorb the concrete slab's impact.

The slab was cushioned by his powerful physique (and the protective layers in his suit), but it still resulted in a fractured left arm and profuse bleeding.

26. Love Triumphs Over Instinct

Yulia watched in shock as the bright red blood poured from Lu Chen's arm.

Her vampire instincts screamed inside her, her eyes instantly turning a bloodthirsty gold, fangs bared. Hunger! Desire! This was the purest, most vulnerable human blood!

Yulia's body instinctively lunged forward.

Yet, just as her fangs were about to touch Lu Chen's skin, she saw his eyes, squeezed shut in agony, and the look of complete, unreserved trust he held for her.

"He is so fragile! He trusts me so completely!"

Love, like a sacred flame, instantly suppressed the bloodlust raging within her.

She let out a guttural cry of pain and remorse, turning her head away. Then, she activated her ancient healing ability.

Yulia trembled, covering Lu Chen's wound with her hands, whispering with remorse and deep affection:

"Servant, I swear, I will not let anything harm you... including myself."

Lu Chen, amidst the searing pain, felt the warmth and magic flowing from her fingertips. He knew that in this moment, Yulia's love had utterly transcended her noble instinct.
