During these two hundred years, vampires have relied on their special powers and have become invincible.

He had never encountered a situation like this, where he was defeated in one move.

"Who are you?" He struggled for a few times before he stood up shakily. "Where is Leah? Why is her breath so weak? What did you do to her?"

Sang Feiwan turned sideways, revealing the crystal coffin behind him.

When he saw the familiar face in the coffin, he subconsciously rushed forward two steps, but soon stopped, as if he was afraid of something, so he didn't dare to move forward.

Sang Feiwan asked him, "Why don't you dare to come closer? What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that she will see you turned into a vampire covered in blood? Lei, you are the Lei of that year, right?"

Just now, even facing Yu Beiming's fatal blow, he was not afraid at all.

But when his true identity was exposed by Sang Feiwan, he became extremely terrified.

He stepped back again and again: "No, I'm not Lei! I'm William, my name is William!"

"William?" Sang Feiwan sneered, "Do you think that Lei will always be the same Lei as before if you change his name? Look down at yourself. You are covered in sin and blood... Can you wash it clean?"

"Shut up, shut up!" He was so angry that he wanted to attack Sang Feiwan, but was knocked to the ground by Yu Beiming's palm.

Sang Feiwan was standing just a few meters in front of him, looking down at him with contempt, as if he were looking down on an ant.

The vampire raised his head angrily and roared unwillingly: "I don't want to become like this either. I was forced into this by those people!"

He used to be just a simple, kind and grateful little miner.

Even though he was born in a humble family and was an orphan, he tried hard to live.

At that time, he was surrounded by poor children who had to work in dangerous mines at a young age to make a living.

They do the most tiring, difficult and dangerous work in exchange for meager wages so that they can survive.

Life is so hard. Even if you work hard enough, you will still be whipped by the foreman for a small mistake.

That day, he was stripped of his shirt, tied to a wooden stake, and whipped until he was covered in blood.

The scorching sun burned down his head, as if it was going to evaporate the last bit of his life.

In a trance, he heard a girl's clear voice:

"Why are you tying him up? Oh my God, he's dying! Free him quickly, give him water and medicine. I don't want him to die!"

He was given a bowl of water and regained consciousness.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a little girl in an expensive satin dress, standing in the backlight. There seemed to be a thousand-foot-long light behind her, making her look as holy as an angel.

In the past, he had also seen the wives and daughters of nobles. They were all high and mighty, squeezing the blood and sweat of the poor, yet despising everything they did.

But she seems to be different from those people.

That beautiful face was full of worry: "Why don't you stand up? Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat right away!"

She took a piece of soft bread from the maid's hand, then squatted down and put the bread to his mouth.

He hadn't eaten for a day, but at this moment he forgot about being hungry and stared at her blankly.

He saw her long skirt, dragging on the dusty ground and covered with dirt, but her eyes were so pure.

"Why don't you eat?"

"My name is Leah, what's your name?"

At that moment, he felt ashamed of himself and thought that for a dirty and lowly person like him, even looking at her for one more second would be a blasphemy to her, so how could he dare to touch the food in her hand?

Seeing that he didn't eat, she didn't get angry and stuffed the bread into his hand.

"Don't worry, I will talk to my father and tell them not to hit anyone again!"

Since that day, there have indeed been fewer incidents of beatings in the mine.

Lei happily told his friends around him: "It must be Miss Leah! She made those foremen stop beating people!"

The friends laughed: "Lei, don't be naive. The noble ladies are so high and mighty, how could they stand up for us? They are just afraid of killing people, so they will have less labor."

A few days later, Leah came to the mine again.

Seeing Lei, who was all black and dirty, she was very happy and trotted over with her velvet skirt in hand:

"Has the foreman beaten you again these days? My father promised me that he would warn the foremen not to beat people again! And this——"

She held up the basket in her hand. "I took this from my father's feast. There was bread, roast meat, and wine. It's all yours. You can share it with your friends."

Without waiting for Lei to say anything, she stuffed the basket over to him, then smiled, waved, and ran away.

Some time after that, Leah came to inspect the mine with her parents.

She liked to sneak out to play with Lei and often brought him delicious food.

Once, when she heard that they were very poor, she rolled her eyes and suddenly took off the sapphire necklace from her neck and gave it to Lei: "This is a gift from my mother. She said it is very valuable. You can exchange it for money!"

After Lei was surprised, he couldn't help laughing: "If I accept your necklace, your father will definitely beat me to death."

He helped her put the necklace on: "Miss Leah, you have to keep such a valuable thing well and don't take it out casually. Remember?"

Leah was very young at that time, and she nodded as if she understood.

After a while, Leah didn't come to the mine again.

Lei felt empty and sad.

He couldn't help but wonder, "Why didn't she come? Did her father not allow her to come? Or did she just not want to come? Was she tired of playing around, so she didn't want to be with someone like me anymore?"

Later, after some twists and turns, he finally found out that Leah's mother had died and her count father had remarried a new wife.

So, she couldn't come because of a family accident? Not because she hated him?

Leah's castle is on another hill, and can be seen from afar when standing on the top of the mine.

The castle was magnificent and majestic, and the interior must be even more magnificent and splendid, something that a lowly person like Lei could never enter.

He thought: She must be very sad, right? Will her stepmother be nice to her?

Unfortunately, all worries can only be hidden in my heart.

They are people from two distinct classes.

A lowly miner like him doesn't even deserve any concern.
