Chapter 278 : A Rose Wedding 4 (1/2)

“Took a liking to you.”

Those words echoed clearly in the otherwise silent alleyway.

“Took a liking to me?” Xi Yin’s tone lifted and one could hear hints of laughter as he spoke, “So you’re prepared to offer[1] yourself to me?”

Shi Sheng, “…” ‘What? Offer?’

Xi Yin slowly walked out from the shadows and over to Shi Sheng. He examined her for a bit before speaking, “With your looks, I allow you to offer yourself to me.”

Shi Sheng, “…” ‘The hell?’

Xi Yin suddenly reached out to grab Shi Sheng’s shoulders, his eyes turning gold as his fangs extended.

‘Oi fuck!’

Alarm bells were set off in Shi Sheng’s head. She drew her sword and aimed at Xi Yin’s face. He reacted quickly and dodged to the side before the sword could reach him, landing several meters away from her.

‘This fellow drinks the blood of other vampires! Fellow vampires!’

Vampires would only drink the blood of other vampires under two conditions.

The first was when they were forming a contract.

The second was to steal the other party’s power.

‘It’s pretty much impossible that he’d want to form a contract with a vampire he’s never met so…he wanted to steal my strength just now?’

“Hah…” Xi Yin gave a short bark of laughter before retracting his fangs and turning around to continue on his way. “Since you’re not willing to offer yourself up to me, don’t follow me.”

‘Wtf! This guy’s got an illness! And a serious one at that! …What are my chances of packing him up and bringing him back with me? From the looks of it, he’s on a higher level… Odds of winning are at least 50%. Great! Let’s pack him up and bring him home to keep! We can resolve any issues over time!’

Shi Sheng sneakily followed him, planning on an ambush. However, Xi Yin’s figure flashed a couple of times and vanished from Shi Sheng’s sight.

‘Fuck! Well aren’t vampires that know how to teleport just GREAT?!’

Shi Sheng searched the area a few times but still didn’t manage to find Xi Yin. Just as she was about to call it quits, a human figure suddenly barged out from the alleyway beside her, its trajectory setting it on a path to collision with her.

Shi Sheng sidestepped slightly and managed to avoid the tragic fate of being knocked over.

However, that person still managed to trip on their own. The painful sounding smack of a body hitting the floor caused Shi Sheng to nearly wince for their sake.

Several figures sprinted out from the alleyway one after another, their features clearly illuminated beneath the corner streetlamp. Shi Sheng could see that they were creatures with hideous visages that wore tattered rags and emitted a foul stench.

They were the lowest level vampires that lived in the sewers. Their IQs weren’t very high—all they knew was to suck blood. They were the type of vampires that were okay to directly hunt and kill.

They all halted upon catching sight of Shi Sheng and sniffed the air.

Perhaps they had caught her scent, for those vampires retreated somewhat fearfully, yet appeared unwilling to just give up on the person lying on the ground. Shi Sheng focused her gaze on the figure on the ground. ‘Enemies meeting on a narrow road ah!’

“It’s you!” Ai Wei spoke first with a terrified expression. “What do you want to do?”

“Would you believe me if I said I was just passing by?” Shi Sheng’s lips tugged upward into a small smile.

“You want to kill me?!” Ai Wei obviously hadn’t listened to a word Shi Sheng said.

Shi Sheng, “…” ‘Which eye of yours saw that I(lz) was planning on killing you? I(lz) was just standing here! Paranoia is an illness! You should get it seen to!’

A cool breeze blew over from somewhere, causing her black skirt to flow in the wind. The calm-faced girl wielding a sword in the light drizzle appeared to possess a wild charm.

“I’ve got nothing to do with these scrubs,” Shi Sheng spoke coldly.
