After treating the man briefly, he gradually woke up.

“Where am I? Who, who are you?!”

The man suddenly noticed Fang Ping beside him and said warily.

He looked like he was about to pass his middle age, and his temples were starting to turn gray.

Although the lifespan of vampires was usually very long, the stronger the vampire, the longer they would live.

However, in the end, they would still age.

Fang Ping said indifferently, “I’m the person who saved your life. Is this how you talk to your savior?”

The man was stunned when he heard this.

He really could not believe that this little skeleton in front of him could save his life.

He actually dared to fight the vampires in a vampire city?

“Sorry, I just didn’t react for a moment. I’m very grateful that you saved me. My name is Manstein. Everyone calls me Count Manstein.”

With that said, Manstein stretched out his hand in friendship.

Fang Ping shook his hand gently and asked in confusion.

“Why did that person want to kill you? Who did you offend? He’s a count after all.”

The vampires were divided into levels according to their strength.

Strength was the only way to evaluate them!

There were a total of six levels: prince, duke, marquis, count, viscount, baron!

The hierarchy was strict. If one was not powerful enough, it was definitely impossible for low level vampires to obtain a higher noble title.

Above the prince was the vampire ancestor. Since ancient times, there had only been one, Lilith!

However, this ancestor only existed in legends now. In fact, there was no longer a prince expert in the current vampire race!

Due to unknown historical reasons, no one knew why a powerful and long-lived prince would completely disappear from this world.

Hearing Fang Ping’s question, Manstein revealed a bitter smile.

“Alas, I offended a marquis because I had some conflict with his son.”

“It was all thanks to this marquis that I was able to become a count back then. Who knew that we would actually become enemies now?”

“I was severely injured in another assassination and wanted to seek medical treatment in the city. I didn’t expect someone to chase after me in broad daylight in the city!”

“If not for you, I might have already died.”

“Thank you very much. If I still have a chance to return to my territory alive, I’ll repay you well!”

Fang Ping shook his head indifferently.

What he cared about was not the other party’s repayment. Compared to the rewards given by the system, the benefits they could give were not worth mentioning.

“Rest here for a while and recover. If you feel that it’s about time, just leave.”

With that, Fang Ping walked into the back room.

“Ding! Congratulations, Master, for successfully investing. You have obtained one of the ancient undead manuals. If you successfully cultivate this manual, you will be able to break free from the shackles of undead creatures.

“[Not afraid of the sun!]”

Fang Ping was stunned when he heard the last five words.

His breathing quickened, and his chest heaved violently. Even his body could not help but tremble slightly.

Not afraid of the sun!

Could such an ability really exist for undead creatures?

When Fang Ping was in the city today, he had specially observed that everyone had to block the sunlight as long as they walked under it.

Even some experts with powerful auras did not dare to expose even an inch of their skin.

“System, take out the secret manual immediately. I want to start cultivating now!”

With a flash of golden light, Fang Ping clearly felt a layer of spatial fluctuation around him.

Then, a secret manual made of sheepskin scroll appeared in Fang Ping’s palm.

He immediately sat cross-legged and began to read the contents of the sheepskin scroll, cultivating according to the requirements.

Fang Ping quickly entered a state of self-absorption. He did not even know when Manstein had left.

Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

In the silent room, Fang Ping suddenly opened his eyes.

The Soul Fire that was originally slightly exuberant expanded again.

Moreover, a scorching heat emitted from the Soul Fire!

It was like the flames of the sun, with a feeling of extreme Yang!

Fang Ping looked at his palm. Boom.

A brilliant golden flame floated above his palm and burned silently.

“It’s done!”

Fang Ping’s voice was slightly hoarse, but he was extremely excited.

He couldn’t wait to open the window and let the sunlight shine into the house.

In a place where no one would see him, Fang Ping took off his black robe. His entire body was bathed in sunlight.

This was the first time he felt the warmth of the sun since he came to this world!

This long-lost feeling almost moved Fang Ping to tears.

After all, if he had a choice, he would rather not have transmigrated at all.

Who would want to be a skeleton with only bones left?

After lying in the sun for an entire afternoon, Fang Ping had enjoyed enough. He put on his black robe again and returned to his normal appearance.

“Although I have the ability to resist sunlight, this ability is too heaven-defying.

“I’m afraid no undead creature in this world has such an ability.

“I’m still too weak. Once I’m exposed, I’ll definitely attract endless pursuit and jealousy.

“It’s better to keep a low profile and develop wretchedly!”

Sitting in the living room and pondering for a moment, Fang Ping quickly decided to hide this ability.

When he was outside, he had to appear no different from others!

As the saying goes, a man’s wealth is his own ruin!

This principle was absolutely valid even in the alternate world!

Just like that, Fang Ping continued to live peacefully in the city.

With the money the giant gave him, he could manage for a long time without having to work.

When he had nothing to do, he would cultivate at home.

Moreover, Fang Ping could now cultivate under the sun, absorbing the Yang qi in the sunlight to strengthen himself!

After a while, Fang Ping suddenly received a letter with the royal seal on it.

“A letter from Kallen? She invited me to the palace. Looks like this girl is starting to be valued in the royal family.”

After reading the contents of the letter, Fang Ping revealed a gratified smile.

He had decided to save Kallen back then because of the system.

However, after interacting with her a few times, he had a good impression of this cute little vampire princess.

This time, Kallen wanted to use her growing power in the royal family to repay Fang Ping’s kindness back then.

Now that she had invited him to enter the palace, it was because she wanted to arrange an errand for him.

Of course, Fang Ping would not reject Kallen’s good intentions. Besides, he was indeed a little bored staying alone.

The next morning, Fang Ping arrived at the palace. However, he did not see Kallen. Instead, he saw a palace butler.

“Hello, I’m here to arrange work for you on behalf of Princess Kallen.”
