"No, Uncle. I'm not staying here tonight! It's been almost four weeks since I had last contact with Zhan. Almost four weeks!!! And nothing happens here either. By now you know where the hiding place of the group around Meng Yao is. Why don't you finally do something and get Zhan and his father out of there? I train every day and can't even go outside. What should I train for? I feel like a prisoner here. I want to go outside and look for Zhan myself! You can't forbid it to me!" Yibo shouted.

For two days his uncle has kept him locked in the dungeon. Together with Yanli, whom he is still not ready to release. Yibo is more than just desperate. Because his uncle is punishing him for going outside a few nights ago. He didn't even want to look for Zhan alone, he just wanted to go outside, breathe fresh air and sort his thoughts a little.

No sooner had his uncle arrived here with his clan than Yibo was no longer allowed to go outside or join the hunt. Instead, he had to train every night. He even does this voluntarily, but in the meantime he simply has no more strength and also no more desire. He just needed a break. He wanted to be once again only by himself, which is no longer possible in the more than overcrowded basement vault.

Yibo had even hoped for help from Wangji, but even he only said: "You have to train, whether you are well or not".

The only one who showed a little compassion for him and spent some time with him, which had nothing to do with training, was Wei Ying. Wangji's mate. He often sat with Yibo and talked to him, encouraged him and even made him drink again. Because Yibo had not eaten for days because he was feeling so bad.

He still feels bad and every day it gets worse, but thanks to Wei Ying, he somehow managed to hold out for the past three weeks.

Unfortunately, as Yibo found out, Wangji is very jealous when it comes to Wei Ying and always lets the two of them talk only shortly. But at least he is lucky to be able to talk to Wei Ying at all, with others Wangji gets angry immediately.

But despite the care of Wei Ying and the little his big brother Wangji gave him, Yibo feels lonely. His uncle does not even allow him to call his father or stepbrother.

And if Cheng were not around, his uncle would surely have punished him even harder than just locking him in the dungeon when he secretly snuck out of the basement vault. Cheng reminded Yibo's uncle who Yibo belongs to and that he better not dare to lay a finger on Yibo. Otherwise not only the Xiao Clan would want to kill him, but especially Zhan when he came back.

Can't his uncle understand how he is currently feeling? Can't he understand that Yibo also needs his space and wants to be alone? And when will his uncle finally start the attack on Meng Yao and his group? How long does he want to wait? Until they have found a new hiding place again?

Yibo sat next to Yanli, they made up again after Yanli overcame her blood thirst, and Cheng stood outside the barred door and promised to come up with something for the two of them. "You both have to get out of there. We should retreat to our other hiding place and stay there. Nobody can stand it here anymore." Said Cheng.

" Who are you telling that? There is always so much going on here that nobody can rest. At night, the Human Fighters are here, many of them talk or snore loudly. During the day, the two clans are here and train, sleep or talk to each other. I would like to be able to sleep without waking up every half hour." Said Yanli.

Yibo had nothing to say, his point had been clear. He would have loved to be somewhere else instead of here in this noisy and crowded basement.

During the night when most of the two clans were out and hunting for the newly infected vampires, Cheng came to the dungeon, unlocked the door with the key he secretly stole and freed Yibo and Yanli. Just in time, because as soon as the three were outside and in the bushes, they saw several strangers running towards the basement vault.

They didn't even have enough time to make sure that they were really strangers when suddenly there was a loud bang at the entrance door to the basement vault. Smoke rose into the night. Screams could be heard from inside. The screams of the Human Fighters. Cheng jumped out of the bushes, grabbed one of the attackers and dragged him behind the bush with him.

Yibo stared darkly at the attacker and punched his fist into his chest and tore out his heart. The three stalked out and grabbed more attackers. In a flash they killed, them. Except for one, Yibo left him, grabbed him by the collar of his jacket and asked him, hissing, "Who sent you?"

The attacker was paralyzed and did not answer Yibo. Yibo shook him and asked him again, but again the attacker did not answer. "I will kill you painfully, you realize that, don't you? I will sink my fangs into your throat and rip it out of your neck very slowly with my teeth." Yibo threatened.

"It is our leader. He wants us to kill you all. We must listen to him!" The attacker stuttered.

" Oh, yeah? You must listen to him? Well, that means I have no choice but to kill you."

"No, please don't. I don't want to die."

"I don't want to die either, but do you care? Just a minute ago, you tried to kill me. You didn't ask me if I want to live, either."

"But, but this is... I'm just following orders."

"Whose orders? Meng Yao?"

"Yes and no. With him is that woman. She wants you dead."

"What woman?" Yibo asked.

"This Emily Qin... She said, only after you are away will she have that Xiao Zhan."

When Yibo heard this, all he saw was red. He licked over his fangs and then ripped out the attacker's throat with these. He spat out the blood and hissed, "So she wants my ZhanZhan? Oh wait bitch until I get my hands on you. I'll show you what I do to those who want to lay their filthy hands on my mate."

They left the corpses where they were and ran into the night after they realized that those in the basement vault were doing well.

The three of them ran to their van and then drove to an old forest hut. It looks inconspicuous, uninhabited and holds a secret. There is an entrance in this hut and it leads into a tunnel that ends in a cave.

They entered the hut, pushed the elder table aside and opened the trapdoor, which created a real draft. Together they walked down the steps and through the tunnel, which was about a mile long, until they reached the cave.

It is not very big, but for only three people, quite enough. And, it has another exit in case the three have to escape quickly.

Now that they are freed from the clans and are among themselves again, they have to deal with the next problem. Soon their blood mixture will be out. Already now it has been rationed by the clans. Cheng was glad that nobody knew about the boxes of blood mixture in the van, so at least they don't have to starve until their father can make new blood mixture again. But, when will that be?

But Yibo also came up with another solution. "What about your aunt? She supplied my mother with blood mixture that she made herself. She knows your father's mixture ratios and could take over as long as he cannot make anything himself."

"Mhhh, yes. But for that we first have to find out where our aunt is. She lives in seclusion and does not want to have any contact with the family." Yanli replied.

"But the situation is completely different now. This is not only about the family, but about several clans. Can you imagine them starting to starve and going crazy? What will happen then?" Yibo replied.

"Yes, you are right. But we still don't know where she is." Said Yanli.

"I think I might know a way. My mother regularly left messages in a mailbox. Who knows, maybe that mailbox still exists and maybe it is your aunt's."

"Good idea. But maybe now that we have run away, we can't just walk through the city. Especially not during the day." Said Cheng.

"I have a solution for that. I could ask my stepbrother to help us. I don't want to involve my father in this, he already knows more than is good for him anyway." Yibo explained.

After all, his big stepbrother still owes him something for betraying him again when he told his father about how bad Yibo was feeling. At the thought of Hai Kuan's betrayal, Yibo had to smile. What would he do now if he knew how he is feeling right now?
