Really? I'm fighting the Dark Emperor.

Chapter 153 Gulak is not lucky

"How could the Vampire King have so many problems?"

All sorts of gatherings, all sorts of questions—Lanbao spent all his time buried in books, learning about vampires. He had read more books than he had in the first half of his life combined.

I also need to find time to learn how to use the Vampire King's power.

"This is what it's like to be a vampire king." In contrast, the former real vampire king, Terma, was quite at ease.

Every day at the appointed time, someone would take him out to bask in the not-so-bright sun, give him a bath on time, and occasionally, on a whim, he would roll around in the dirt.

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

Ah ~

Life~

This is the life a king should live!

Knowing from within an egg that becoming king entails responsibilities and obligations that someone else would bear for him, Te Ma Tou had long since changed his mind. He even thought it was fantastic to have a blue gem to be king and handle these tedious affairs!

Well, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't be too far from Lanbao, otherwise his body would break down and he would feel terrible if he didn't get a fresh tomato, and there was also the risk of being eaten by his foolish subjects, he would love to take a few spontaneous trips.

Ah, travel.

If I were to travel, where would be a good place to go?

Quark Star?

No, no, that place is too unlucky. It's an unlucky place for both the Quark Clan and the Dark Clan.

After Lan Bao finished reading the book in his hand, the sky outside was no longer so dark and there was a glimmer of light. It was time to go to sleep. He turned his head and found that Te Ma Tou was sleeping soundly in the middle of the bed.

"He used to insist on sleeping in a coffin, complaining that it was too big, not soft enough, or not pretty enough. Now that it's been made for him, he insists on taking up my bed."

This tomato is really hard to take care of, just like raising a pet.

However, you probably can't find another pet tomato in the universe that's as troublesome as Te Ma Tou.

……

Gulak felt that the past six months had been very unlucky for him.

He had planned to seize the opportunity to go to the Moe Academy to prepare for the birth of the Great King, hoping to gain promotion and enjoy wealth and glory—but alas! His plans were ruined.

Locked in a dark, dreary dungeon with little food and drink, and constantly subjected to personal attacks from his nemesis, Count Sosia, after being released—snap! Everything changed.

Having finally seen the light of day again, the former king was almost eaten like an ordinary tomato by him, who shouted that he would be put to death. The current king has listened to a lot of Sosia's slander and his attitude towards him is really indifferent.

He tried to make himself appear not to be useless.

Lanbao: "Do you know how to get back to Moe Academy?"

Gulak's heart sank: "It used to be there, but it's gone now."

His idea at the time was very simple: after getting news of the King's whereabouts, he would find a way to go to the Moe Academy to find the King, help the King be born smoothly, and then be brought back by the King.

For a vampire king, summoning his people to his side and bringing them back is a very simple matter.

So he turned around, tore up the map, and came up with many other ways to destroy the road.

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

Lan Bao: "Why is it gone now?"

Gulak struggled desperately: "Because this road can only be traveled once."

"Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing this tune, Gulak felt like he was doomed.

He gave Sosia a warning look, telling her not to say anything out of line, but the other person didn't even glance at him.

"Please allow me to tell you the truth: the route leading to the Moe Academy was destroyed by the sinner Gulak."

Lan Bao was puzzled: "Destroy? Why would you destroy the route?"

"Respect..."

“Your Majesty,” he quickly interrupted Sosia to prevent him from speaking nonsense again, “My purpose in coming here is only to ensure the safe birth of the former Vampire King. I have no intention of harming the Quark people. It was only because of my shortsightedness that I worried other vampires might use this path to reach Quark Star or even Earth and endanger innocent people that I destroyed it.”

He didn't mention a word about opening the underground waterway and allowing the Dark Clan to invade Moe Academy.

Nonsense, of course you have to keep this kind of thing to yourself!

Who can guarantee that Sapphire won't undergo a drastic personality change after possessing the power of the Vampire King? Even Gulak can't say what he would become if he had that power.

Oh, other things are hard to say, but he must be the first to lock Sosya in the dungeon for hundreds of years so that Sosya can experience the despair of crying out to heaven in vain!

"Ah, that's it."

King Sapphire's voice sounded somewhat disappointed.

After pondering it for a long time, Gulac was pleasantly surprised to find that he had no intention of punishing him.

Now, Tematou is being carried to take a bath by his servants. No one here is saying he deserves to die, and no one is saying he deserves to be executed. As long as he is careful and tries to gain some favor with Blue Sapphire King while that Tomato King is not around, Gulak will soon be second only to one person and above all others.

Oh, Daddy~

Oh, Mom~

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

"Your Majesty, the sinner Gulak has committed such a serious crime again. It is his good fortune that you have spared his life. Should we punish him to prevent him from making the same mistake again?"

Although there was no tomato shouting that he wanted to kill him, there was another person who didn't want him to have an easy time.

Sapphire, who rarely heard Sosia make any requests, was intrigued.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Well, I'll leave the task of finding the ingredients needed to make the potion to Count Gulak."

At first, Gulak thought this was a disguised reward disguised as punishment.

Until he started working on it.

Memories of the past flooded his mind, and now Gulak's eyes were filled with tears.

He looked at the vast expanse of fields in front of him, wishing he could kowtow to each and every one of them and beg them to grow quickly.

God!

This is going to kill Gulac!

Gulak's retired father had no idea about his son's troubles, nor did he understand his son's daily performance art of staring at the land and talking to himself.

He felt that his career was blossoming.

Hey, he's retired and has nothing to do but grow some magical herbs for fun. It turns out the king has the same hobby as him.

Oh dear, how could he have stumbled upon such a wonderful opportunity? Oh dear...

"Dad, please stop sitting here daydreaming. When will these grasses grow?"

"This kind of thing depends on fate. I looked at the required magic herbs, and they are all simple ones. If you use the right method, they will grow in no time."

"What's the method?"

"How should I know? This is just a test, isn't it? Oh, you don't need to be so impatient. With you like this, your mother, the rest of the clan, and I have long since given up hope of reviving the family through you. You..."

Gulak said expressionlessly, "Duke Sosia's father, who wasn't in charge of this matter during this time, helped him find quite a few people and was granted an audience with the King."

His dad jumped up from the recliner, took off his sunglasses, and exclaimed, "Why didn't you say so sooner?!"

Of course, I couldn't say it earlier.

He made that up on the spot.

Ha, Gulak knew that his father didn't care about his life or death at all; all that effort he put in before was just an act.
