Chapter 291 : A Rose Wedding 17 (2/2)

Sikong Sa pressed Ai Wei into his embrace, his gaze—unintentionally or not—sweeping in the direction of the staircase.

……

Zuo Lie lowered his head and stood there, actually appearing rather pitiful.

Shi Sheng popped out from where she had hidden. “Since you want her so badly, why don’t you just kidnap her?”

Zuo Lie’s head snapped up, his brows furrowing fiercely. “How come you’re here?”

“I was here since the start.” Shi Sheng shrugged. “You just never noticed. You can consider my suggestion, y’know? I’ve got hopes for you, sonny.”

Actually, what Shi Sheng really wanted to tell him was to choose someone else. But upon further thought, she decided not to. After all, how was it any of her business who he picked?

She didn’t even know where her own partner was right now.

In the original plot, the FL wasn’t completely faithful—she’d always treated the ML as a spare tyre. She threw herself into his arms immediately after her relationship with Sikong Sa fell apart.

Zuo Lie lowered his gaze. It wasn’t that he’d never thought of taking her with him by force, but what use would it be? She didn’t like him!

……

Zuo Lie left the academy and returned to vampire territory. Having lost her source of entertainment, Shi Sheng could only continue looking for the little bitch who framed her.

One couldn’t call themselves petty unless they avenged every slight!

‘Dared to frame me(bbb)! Must be tired of living!’

That night, Shi Sheng watched as Du Jue’s group of idiots prepared a trap on the ground.

Even deep into the wee hours of the morning, nothing happened.

Shi Sheng leaned against the tree trunk, feeling a bit bored from waiting. Just as she was prepared to leave, however, a shadow suddenly fell down from above her.

Shi Sheng, “!!!”

Her sword suddenly appeared and sliced towards the shadow. It shrunk back into the canopy, causing the leaves of the tree to rustle before it vanished.

‘Scared me(bbb) to death!’

Shi Sheng had really gotten a fright. After all, she was human too. Her reaction was a normal one to something that suddenly appeared.

‘But what the hell was that? It could actually get close to me without me noticing…’

Shi Sheng felt goosebumps crop up all over her body. She looked up into the canopy. It was pitch black up there; she couldn’t see a thing. That shadow had either been here before she came, or its stealth skills were higher than hers.

While Shi Sheng was feeling doubtful, terrified shrieks suddenly rang out in the distance.

When Shi Sheng arrived at the source with her sword in tow, she caught sight of a shadow completely encircled by people. It was wearing all black—even its head was covered up. If the black was changed to white, it would make for a very convincing mummy.

The shadow had a girl in its grasp. The shrieks were coming from her.

“Mi Nai, there’s no escape for you today!” The people surrounding the shadow immediately started to shout.

“Help! Help—!” The girl in the shadow’s grasp begged for them to rescue her with a terrified expression.

The shadow suddenly leaned down and bit the girl’s neck amidst her shrieking—the sounds of swallowing and gulping were especially clear.

Shi Sheng felt her stomach roil with disgust as she couldn’t help but think of how Xi Yin forced her to drink that mouthful of blood.

She was fine with seeing or smelling blood, but the feeling of that sticky liquid sliding slowly down her throat…

Shi Sheng took a deep breath and suppressed her rampaging emotions. Once she’d lifted her face to look over, she found that the two sides had already started fighting.

The shadow was being attacked from all sides. In the thick of the melee, someone got closer to it and suddenly pulled off the bandages covering its head. Once they had come off, the features beneath came into full view.

Shi Sheng’s pupils shrunk.
