Chapter 8 (2/2)

For once, Lily was smart enough to realize that the vampire was off guard. She immediately let out a deep growl and charged towards the vampire with the brick in her hand. She did not throw the brick at the vampire as she was worried that it might hit her landlord.

“Die, you winged rat!”

The vampire fearlessly welcomed Lily, who was charging towards her. Waving her hands, a pale, blood red streak coagulated mid-air. Her sharp fingernails grew to more than 10 centimeters in length and like a dagger, attempted to stab Lily’s chest. “Go to hell! You beast, who only knows how to catch rabbits!”

“You stupid vampire! I’ve already told you that I do not know how to catch rabbits!”

“Don’t hope that you can distract me using this method. You can’t use the same trick twice on a vampire!”

While Hao Ren was still in a stunned state, both mutants were already locked in combat. Like a silver streak, Lily was going from left to right attempting to reach Hao Ren. Although it was daytime, the vampire was no less powerful than Lily. The vampire transformed into a black shadow, dancing around in a red streak with sharp claws. She was able to block every advance from the werewolf. It seemed like the howls from Lily and cries from the vampire came from multiple locations at once. Their movements could not be caught by human eyes and ears!

As Hao Ren started to regain his senses, he realized that he had to stop the two from battling each other no matter what. It was not due to any particular reason… He was just worried that others might appear and witness the weird scene!

Although it was a deserted place, there were still people living there! The inhabitants would have come out anytime as it was already daylight. There would have been trouble if someone saw the commotion caused by Lily and the vampire. Lily could have been captured by the Science Academy, sliced and served in a canteen! Hao Ren was sure of the ‘food junkie’ culture in China!

Hao Ren was desperate when he noticed that someone was coming out of their house at the end of the alley. He shouted at the top of his voice, “Stop! That’s enough!”

His roar shook the ground. Hao Ren could already imagine his neighbors going around the next few days, asking whether he was a victim of domestic violence after hearing his scream. However, it was somehow effective: The storm formed by Lily and the vampire during the battle instantly stopped. They turned to Hao Ren with confused faces and immediately glowered at each other.

Lily still looked high-spirited, as if she had just warmed up from the battle. On the other hand, the vampire looked a bit tired. She was breathing heavily and her face was unusually red. After all, it was not easy battling a werewolf in broad daylight. Nonetheless, they had something in common; they did not break a sweat even though they went through such a tough fight.

The icy aura that radiated from the teenage vampire had a bone-chilling effect.

“There might be some misunderstandings between the both of you!” Hao Ren said Seeing the both of them glaring at one another, he knew that a fight could break out at any moment. He wedged himself between them (although he was leaning more towards Lily’s side of course) and said, “Firstly, I have to confirm something. You, vam… vampire, you actually have no intentions on killing me right?” Hao Ren felt awkward as the words left his mouth. However, he had no time to think things through because he knew that there had to be a great misunderstanding between the werewolf and the vampire.

Immediately, the vampire’s eyes widened. She threw Lily a cautious glance whilst taking a glimpse of Hao Ren. “I want to save you!”

Before Hao Ren could open his mouth, Lily leapt out and said, “Who are you bluffing?! You just want to suck on the landlord’s blood! I’ve watched TV before and you vampires never have good intentions!”

Suddenly, Hao Ren realized something. Why did most of the werewolf’s knowledge come from watching TV? Was it her first time meeting a vampire?

“You were the one who kidnapped this human in the first place!” The vampire narrowed her eyes, revealing a murderous look. “Kidnapping humans, forcing them to help you hide your identity so that you can integrate yourselves in the human city… You wolves aren’t that bright. You’ve been using this tactic for decades yet there’s still no change until now. No wonder you’re on the brink of extinction.”

They continued to throw deadly stares at each other. However, they were starting to lose their stamina.

After hearing bits and pieces of the conversation, a thought crossed Hao Ren’s mind. “Sigh…What is all this about… Stop fighting first! Let’s talk back at home!”
