Chapter 706: The Beaten Dignity Of An Elderly

Translator: Udeze Editor: Udeze

Mo Yi was an old man and had experienced too many surprises in life, so the revelation did not create any ripples in his heart. He followed Lulu and then came to the foreign-style pavilion in the deepest part of Paradise Manor. He got off from the viewing car and looked around with a bit of appreciation, nodded and said, “This Paradise Manor has a good environment. Truly a good place to retire and spend my old age.”

Retiring here?

Ouyang Lulu secretly rolled her eyes. This Paradise Manor was the chicken that laid golden eggs for her, who would want to support the elderly who wanted to retire here?

“It’s been laborious on you, Professor Mo.”

Tang Xiu walked out of the foreign-style building and warmly greeted him.

“You’re my Boss now and you want me to come over. How would I dare not to rush over as fast as possible?” Mo Yi smiled. “The transportation means are very developed nowadays, so I don’t feel too tired. Anyways, I heard from this young lady here that you have a pleasant surprise for me, is that right?”

A pleasant surprise?

Tang Xiu glanced at Lulu with a strange expression. Did this girl just dig a hole to prank Mo Yi? If Mo Yi saw Shanjenna’s vampire appearance all of a sudden, he could become scared to death!

“I don’t think it would a be a pleasant surprise to you. It’s more likely for you to freak out, to be honest. Anyways, I’ll tell you in advance, though. It’s not your ordinary living being you will be seeing.”

Mo Yi could not help laughing and said, “Not an ordinary living being? Hahaha, relax! I’m already old and have traveled to many places in this lifetime and saw a lot of strange living beings and species as well. I won’t frown or freak out even if a ghost appears before me.”

Tang Xiu originally wanted to tell him that it was a vampire he was about to see, but he did not expect that this old man turned out to boast, thus making his intention to tell him to die out. He just nodded and smilingly said, “Alright, since Professor Mo is used to seeing strange living beings, let’s just go in! I’ve told her to get prepared and just wait for you to come!”

After entering the multi-story foreign-styled building, Mo Yi shot a curious look at Shanjenna in the living room. But the instant he saw her, his body trembled and his pace staggered, almost slumping to the floor. Luckily, Tang Xiu’s reflexes were good and propped him up.

“Are you okay, Professor Mo?” Asked Tang Xiu with an expression of being a loss whether he had to cry or laugh upon seeing his complexion that instantly turned deathly pale and horrified.

Mo Yi’s lips shivered, looking at Shanjenna’s vampire appearance with a disbelieving expression. The opened pair of wings, scarlet blood eyes, and those two sharp fangs…

Isn’t this… a vampire? Like that of in the legends?

After half a minute, Mo Yi’s breathing returned to normal, but he still felt lingering fear and forcefully resisted his impulse to run away. He squeezed out a forced smile and said, “T-Tang… B-boss. T-this… h-how is this possible? How come vampires exist in the world?”

“Haven’t you seen a lot of strange creatures already, Professor Mo?” Tang Xiu slightly smiled. “Is the existence of vampires on Earth worth making a fuss about?”

“I-I…” Mo Yi almost vomited out a mouthful of his old blood, while feeling a burning sensation on his wrinkled old face as though someone had just slapped him a few times. He felt like he wanted to find a hole to burrow himself into to hide his shame, but too bad there was no crack at this moment. Previously, he thought that even if he did encounter some strange living beings, he would not be freaked out and make a fuss about it given his experience. But… but who could have thought that it was a living VAMPIRE!!!

“Shanjenna, this is Professor Mo, a world-renowned biologist, and a physicist as well,” said Tang Xiu with a light smile.

Shanjenna let out a faint smile. As she came forward and saw Mo Yi subconsciously step back, she tried to reveal her gentlest appearance and said, “Hello, Professor Mo. I genuinely admire the so-called professors with their deep knowledge. A teacher of mine once taught me in a very famous university in the United States, and we’re also quite close.”

Mo Yi’s calves were slightly trembling. But when he saw that Shanjenna was so amiable, he barely controlled himself and said with a forced a smile, “Shan… Shanjenna, right? Y-you… y-you’re really too much of a surprise, to be honest. I, I apologize first, but you just piqued my curiosity.”

“Ordinary humans will definitely react just like you did when they see me.” Shanjenna smiled. “The Bloodkin, however, are not allowed to appear in front of ordinary humans in our true form, so I did not scare others before coming here.”

After some talk, Mo Yi, who had strong tolerance and ability to accept anything, finally got used to Shanjenna’s identity as a vampire. As his fear slowly disappeared, an intense curiosity replaced it. He circled around her and then sighed in admiration, “Incredible. It’s really inconceivable. I used to imagine that the existence of vampires… no, Bloodkin is real in this world. Never did I think that the imagination of mine would turn into reality. Miss Shanjenna, may I ask you, how old are you…”

“I’m 200 years old. But according to the life system of the Bloodkin, I’m just about the same as a 20-year-old human girl,” said Shanjenna with a smile.

Hiss… Despite having accepted her identity, Mo Yi was still shocked by this revelation.

She is 200 years old! And yet similar to a young human in his or her twenties? This… Heaven is really unfair!

Mo Yi lamented and sighed inwardly. He then turned to look at Tang Xiu and asked, “Boss, you wanted me to come over to Shanghai to see this Miss from the Bloodkin, what is it for?”

“To study her, of course,” said Tang Xiu with a smile.
