Chapter 1458: Reaching an Agreement

The Vampire Prince was fast, but Ye Tian's speed was not slow either; his figure flashed, blocking Ye Bufan, and he raised his hand, unleashing a punch.

Lucia's sharp fingertips collided with Ye Tian's fist, creating a thunderous roar, and a violent Qi current surged out, instantly pulverizing the few remaining pieces of furniture in the room into dust, scattering them everywhere.

Ye Bufan secretly clicked his tongue; the cultivation of these two had already reached the Great Perfection Realm of a Martial Saint, and their clash was indeed astonishing.

If he hadn't set up a defensive Formation in the room earlier, the house would probably have collapsed. Thankfully, he had foresight and brought this woman here.

After their exchange, both retreated seven or eight steps. Ye Tian's expression remained calm and unchanged, while Lucia's face was filled with shock.

"You… you are a person from the Dark World?"

Ye Tian wore a jade pendant with several powerful shielding Formations carved on it, which were of a higher or equal grade compared to Lucia's pendant, tightly concealing his deathly Qi.

However, the recent exchange was too intense, and both relied entirely on their powerful Physical Bodies to fight. The surging Qi currents caused the jade pendant to shift, leading to a slight leakage of Qi, which the Vampire Prince immediately sensed. This kind of Dark Qi is absolutely impossible to fake.

She never expected this Young man to possess such formidable strength, nor did she expect him to be from the Dark World, just like her.

Ye Bufan smiled slightly, "Young Miss Lucia, I think we should sit down and have a good talk."

Then he glanced at the dust scattered everywhere and could only smile wryly, "Sitting down isn't an option; we'll have to talk standing."

Lucia raised her hand, pointing at Ye Tian, and said with a solemn expression, "I just want to know his identity."

The reason she had personally come here with such a large force this time was because she had considered the other party an enemy. Now, it seemed things were not that simple.

"He is my younger brother, Ye Tian."

Lucia asked again, "Then what about the Dark Qi on him?"

"I don't need to tell you that. After all, everyone has their own privacy, right?"

Ye Bufan's reply was very skillful; first, he didn't reveal Ye Tian's specific information, and on the other hand, he confirmed the other party's guess.

Lucia stared at him intently, as if trying to discern something from him.

Ye Bufan spread his hands, "No need to look. I don't have any Qi-shielding items on me. What you see is the real me."

Lucia pondered for a moment and said, "Since your brother is from the Dark World, why are you helping the Divine Court? Don't you know we are mortal enemies?"

"Young Miss Lucia, I think you've got something wrong. My brother and I both belong to the East, to Huaxia. We have nothing to do with your Western Dark World and the Divine Court; we belong neither here nor there."

Ye Bufan continued, "You don't need to panic. The reason I helped the Divine Court create two Cardinals was purely by chance. Such a thing will not happen again in the future, nor will I help the Divine Court deal with your Dark World."

Lucia showed a complex expression, "It's hard for me to believe what you're saying. If you were to help the Divine Court, you would gain immense benefits from it; Adams would agree to all your conditions."

Seeing that the other party didn't believe him, Ye Bufan frowned. If this matter wasn't resolved, he would probably become an enemy of the entire Dark World. He didn't want to cause himself too much trouble, so he patiently explained.

"I am a Huaxia person. I don't want to break the balance of your Western World. If the Divine Court eliminates your Dark World, the next step will pose a great threat to our East, which is naturally not what I want to see."

Hearing his explanation, Lucia believed him somewhat, but there was still a trace of uncertainty in her heart, as this matter posed too great a threat to the Dark World.

Ye Bufan shook his head, "You just said that America is your territory. I presume you know about what happened between me and the Black Wizard Alliance yesterday, right?

Chiravette set a trap for me, but I ultimately didn't kill them; instead, I released the core members of the Black Wizard Alliance. My goal was precisely to avoid affecting the balance of your Western Dark World.

And to be honest with you, I only came to M Country to handle some matters and will soon return to Huaxia. Your messy affairs with the Divine Court have nothing to do with me."

Upon hearing him say this, Lucia's doubts lessened a bit, but she still said, "I believe you are telling the truth, but this matter is of great importance, and I cannot allow even the slightest danger to occur.

How about this: during your time in M Country, I will stay by your side and monitor your every move. If you provide such pills to the Divine Court, I will eliminate you at all costs."

"You're following me?"

Ye Bufan was somewhat surprised by the other party's request.

"Yes, don't you welcome me?"

At this moment, Lucia had put away her fangs and reverted to her previous seductive appearance.

"No, absolutely not."

Ye Bufan waved his hands repeatedly. What a joke! He already had Helena and Sophie, two Cardinals, by his side. If he brought in another Vampire Prince, what would that make him?

"Little handsome guy, to be honest, you cannot refuse this condition." Lucia's expression became unprecedentedly serious. "Right now, this news is still under my control, but have you ever thought about what would happen once I spread it?

You will become an enemy of the entire Dark World. Unless you possess the power of the entire Divine Court, you will be unable to resist, and your businesses and loved ones will all be implicated."

Ye Bufan immediately felt a headache. Although he was very powerful now, he was definitely not comparable to the Divine Court; at least, he didn't have any Imperial-level experts yet.

Moreover, he had Angel Pharmaceuticals in the West and also wanted to develop traditional Chinese medicine. In this situation, he clearly didn't want to be hostile to the entire Dark World.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally chose to compromise, "Alright then, you can stay by my side, but I have two conditions."

"Just state your conditions; that's the attitude for negotiation."

Lucia smiled charmingly, regaining her alluring expression.

Ye Bufan said solemnly, "First, your identity must be kept secret. No one can know that you are a Blood Clan Prince."

"That's no problem. Although America is under my control, it still can't directly confront the Divine Court. Even if you don't say so, I'll have to hide my identity."

Then she smiled and said, "But there must be an explanation to the outside world. What should I say?"

Ye Bufan thought for a moment, "Just say you're a patient of mine, and due to a special condition, you need to stay by my side for a period of time for treatment."

"That's a good reason." Lucia giggled, "Later, I'll tell your women that I have infertility, and once you make me pregnant, I'll leave immediately."

Ye Bufan's face instantly darkened. Why did that sound so awkward?

"The second condition is that during the time you are with me, no matter the reason, you cannot lay a hand on anyone around me. Otherwise, even if I have to use all my strength, I will destroy your entire Blood Clan."

As he spoke, a powerful killing intent erupted from his entire body.

Although the other party was a Vampire Prince, he absolutely could not allow her to harm his people.
