Chapter 8 (1/2)
“Lily, transform quickly!”
It was the one and only solution Hao Ren could think of at that moment. The familiar aura of bloodlust and chillness reemerged. He knew that he was no match for the human-like ‘mutant’ in front of him. He was just a normal human being after all. However, even after shouting out for Lily, he did not have high hopes. He was less than two meters away from this ‘girl’!
Hao Ren felt a gust of wind behind him and knew that it was Lily, who had transformed into a werewolf. She was coming to his rescue. At the same time, Hao Ren was prepared to leap aside to let the werewolf and what seemed like a vampire come face to face. It meant that he would be out of harm’s way!
Unfortunately, Hao Ren had either overestimated his reflexes or underestimated the opponent’s fighting capacity. Just as the thought to dodge crossed his mind, the girl with long, straight hair had already stretched out her hand. She had reflexes which were beyond human. She grabbed Hao Ren by the arm and with great strength which could have possibly broken his arm, she flung Hao Ren behind her. With a melodious voice, she cried, “Be careful!”
Hao Ren was stunned when he was flung across.
“It seemed like the dangerous mutant in front of me just told me to be careful.”
Lily rushed to the door but she was slow by half a beat. Upon looking at her, Hao Ren was disappointed as the silly girl did not even transform yet or held any weapons. She was still in her cozy home attire. Her hair was not white and her ears were not out. She happily trotted to the door. “Landlord oh Landlord, here I come! Is it the delivery man?”
Deep down, Hao Ren was both sad and furious. He screamed to himself in disbelief.
“Oh this stupid girl! There is completely no tacit understanding between us at all!!!”
Lily’s actions made Hao Ren completely give up on his attempts to escape from the vampire’s grasp. Lily saw the black-haired stranger before her and came to her senses immediately. She transformed into a werewolf within a second and grabbed two bricks near the front door ready for battle but even so, Hao Ren still felt it was hopeless.
“I should not have trusted this stupid werewolf from the start! Hanging a ring of garlic around my neck by myself would be even more reliable than Lily!”
Of course, he would find out later on that garlic was useless when it came to a certain vampire.
Seeing that her landlord was taken by the enemy, Lily became upset. She grasped the bricks in her hand tightly and from her throat came a low growling voice, displaying her strength. “Vampire… it’s daytime now! You’re no match for me during the night, what more during the daytime! Let my landlord go and I’ll spare your life!”
The vampire had no fear. Being in the middle of Hao Ren and Lily, her right arm was put up in a defensive stance. Her sharp nails grew longer and chilling sense of bloodlust surrounded her body. She quietly moved her left arm to her back and swayed her hands a couple of times in front of a baffled Hao Ren. It appeared like… she was urging Hao Ren to leave at once?
“Werewolf, when did beasts start putting up an act and tried blending in within a human city!” The vampire’s voice was cold and disdainful. Although there was a sense of debility, her tone was beyond contempt (she was struck a couple of times by the werewolf using a brick). “Isn’t your actual duty hunting rabbits in the wild?”
“Hmph!” Lily answered furiously, “You stupid vampire, you must not have known that I am unable to catch rabbits!”
Upon hearing this, Hao Ren thought that he might as well be dead. Then he would not have to trouble the silly werewolf; She was such a stupid, stupid, stupid werewolf!
Even the vampire who was normally calm could not help but be taken aback by the werewolf’s reply, which did not make much sense. Nearly laughing out, she swayed her left hand towards Hao Ren again. Simultaneously, Hao Ren heard a voice in his ears, “Human, run first. I’ll hold this werewolf back… It should be no problem for me to hold her back although it’s daytime now!”
“… What?”
