Ch 153: Gulake was unlucky.

“Why does the Vampire King have so many things to deal with?”

All sorts of gatherings, all sorts of problems. Lan Bao spends all day immersed in books learning about the Vampire Clan, reading more books than he had in the first half of his life.

He also has to find time to learn how to use the Vampire King’s Power.

“Being the Vampire King is like this,” In contrast, Te Ma Tou, the former true Vampire King, is very relaxed.

Every day, someone takes him out to bask in the not-so-bright sun, he bathes on time, and occasionally, on a whim, he rolls around in the dirt.

He even has a coffin custom-made to his specifications.

Ah~

Life~

This is the life a king should live~

Knowing all the responsibilities and obligations of being a king while still in an egg, now someone else is shouldering them all. Te Ma Tou has long since changed his mind, and even thinks it’s great to have Lan Bao as the king to handle these tedious matters!

Well, if he wasn’t afraid of being too far from Lan Bao, otherwise his body would malfunction and it would be difficult to replace a tomato in time, and also the risk of being eaten by stupid subjects, he would have gone on several impromptu trips.

Ah, travel.

If he were to travel, where should he go?

Quake Star?

No, no, that place is too unlucky; whether it’s the Quake Clan or the Dark Clan, they are unlucky places.

After Lan Bao finishes the book in his hands, the sky outside is no longer so dark, there is a glimmer of light, it’s time to sleep, he turns his head and finds Te Ma Tou sleeping soundly in the middle of the bed.

“Before, he kept complaining about wanting to sleep in a coffin, complaining that the coffin was too big, or that it wasn’t soft enough inside, or that it wasn’t pretty enough. Now that it’s ready, he has to occupy my bed.”

He’s really a difficult tomato to serve, just like keeping a pet.

But there shouldn’t be a second pet tomato in the universe as troublesome as Te Ma Tou.

……

Gulak feels that the past six months have been very unlucky for him.

He seized the opportunity to go to Meng Academy to welcome the birth of the Great King so he could get a promotion and enjoy wealth and honor— pop ! It fell through.

He was imprisoned in a dungeon, living in darkness, eating little and drinking little, and constantly being verbally attacked by his nemesis, Earl Suo Si Ya. After being released— pop ! The situation changed.

After finally seeing the light of day, the former king almost ate him as an ordinary tomato, clamoring to have him executed. The current king has listened to a lot of Suo Si Ya’s slander, and his attitude towards him is lukewarm.

He tried to make himself seem not completely useless.

Lan Bao: “Do you know how to get back to Meng Academy?”

Gulak’s heart sank: “I did, but now I don’t.”

His idea was simple: after getting news of the Great King’s whereabouts, he would find a way to go to Meng Academy, help the Great King be born safely, and then be brought back safely by the Great King.

For the Vampire Clan’s king, summoning and bringing clan members back are very simple matters.

So he turned around and tore up the map, and thought of many ways to destroy the road.

If he can find it, others can too. How can he let his old rival steal his credit?

Lan Bao: “Why not now?”

Gulak desperately struggled: “Because this road, it can only be traveled once.”

“Respected Great King~”

As soon as he heard this tone, Gulak felt he was doomed.

He gave Suo Si Ya a warning look not to talk nonsense, but the other party didn’t even look at him.

“Please allow me to report the truth to you, the route to Meng Academy should have been destroyed by the criminal Gulak.”

Lan Bao was puzzled: “Destroyed? Why destroy the route?”

“Respec…”

“Respected Great King,” quickly interrupting Suo Si Ya to prevent him from talking nonsense again, “the purpose of my trip was only to ensure the safe birth of the former Vampire King, and I had no intention of harming any members of the Quake Clan. At that time, due to my shortsightedness, I was worried that other Vampire Clan members would use this road to reach Quake Star or even Earth, endangering innocent people, so I destroyed it.”

He didn’t mention anything about opening the underground waterway to allow the Dark Clan to invade Meng Academy.

Of course, this kind of thing must be kept secret!

Who can guarantee that Lan Bao’s personality won’t change drastically after obtaining the Vampire King’s power? Gulak himself couldn’t say what he would become if he possessed this power.

Oh, other things are uncertain, but he must be the first to imprison Suo Si Ya in the dungeon for several hundred years, letting Suo Si Ya experience the despair of having no one to answer his calls!

“Ah, I see.”

The voice of King Lan Bao sounded a little disappointed.

After careful consideration, Gulak was surprised to find that he had no intention of punishing him.

Now Te Ma Tou is being pampered by his servants and taken to bathe. No one here says he deserves to die, and silence doesn’t mean a death sentence. As long as he’s careful, during this time, while the Tomato King is away, he can try to win the favor of King Lan Bao. Soon, he, Gulak, will be second to none!

Oh, Father~

Oh, Mother~

He will find a way to revitalize his family and bring glory to his ancestors!

“Great King, the criminal Gulak has committed such a serious offense. Your kindness in sparing his life is his good fortune. Should he be punished to prevent him from repeating his mistakes?”

Although there is no tomato here clamoring to kill him, there is another person who doesn’t want him to have an easy time.

Lan Bao, rarely hearing Suo Si Ya make any requests, felt something new.

After thinking for a while, he said, “Well, the task of finding the materials needed to make the potion will be given to Earl Gulak.”

At first, Gulak thought this was a disguised reward.

Until he started working on it.

Past memories flooded back, and now Gulak’s eyes were filled with tears.

He looked at the large field in front of him, wishing he could kowtow to each plant and beg them to grow quickly.

Heavens!

This is going to ruin him, Gulak!

Gulak’s retired father doesn’t understand his son’s troubles, nor does he understand his son’s daily behavior of staring at the land and talking to himself.

He felt that his career had ushered in a new spring.

Hey, it’s fine to grow some magic herbs in retirement, and the King actually has the same hobby as him.

Oh my, what a stroke of luck! Oh my…

“Dad, stop daydreaming here, okay? When will these herbs grow?”

“This kind of thing depends on fate. I checked the magic herbs needed, they’re all simple ones, and the method works right away.”

“What’s the method?”

“How would I know? I’m experimenting, aren’t I? Hey, don’t be so anxious. With your attitude, your mother and I, and the rest of the clan, haven’t had any hope of relying on you to revive the family for a long time, you…”

Gulak said expressionlessly, “During this time, Earl Suo Si Ya’s father, who wasn’t responsible for this matter, helped him find quite a few, and was allowed to meet the Great King.”

His father immediately jumped up from the recliner and took off his sunglasses: “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?!”

Of course he couldn’t tell him earlier.

He just made that up.

Ha, Gulak knew that his father didn’t care about his life or death at all. His previous all-out efforts were all an act.
