Chapter 105 Little Vampire VS Vampire Hunter (Seventeen) Secret...
Is what the vampires say true?
Is he really not human?
But to be honest, this boy is indeed too handsome.
Skin as flawless as white porcelain, lips that are too bright in color as if stained with rose juice, and eyes that are rare light azure... These features are rare in humans, but more common in vampires.
"Is it true? Is he really a vampire?" Someone asked the question at an inopportune time and was ruthlessly rebuked by his companions.
"Ugh..." He groaned in pain, "What are you doing?!"
His companion didn't say anything, but just signaled him with his eyes to shut up if he didn't want to die.
"……?"
In the condensing atmosphere, the man belatedly sensed that something was wrong. He looked towards the source of the dangerous aura and saw Lu Xingyao, whose face was cold and whose brows looked particularly gloomy.
He quickly shut up, thinking that for safety's sake it would be better for him not to get involved in such matters.
Although he belongs to the Hunter Association, which specializes in hunting and capturing criminal vampires, he does not have a good impression of vampires as a species.
But the teenager did not do anything illegal under his nose.
He had no reason to arrest anyone.
…
The secret that had been hidden for a long time was exposed without any warning.
And in front of so many people.
Nguyen Chao felt his mind go blank.
A chill penetrated my hands and feet, and the blood in my body seemed to freeze at that moment. My ears were filled with buzzing sounds like tinnitus.
He subconsciously raised his head and looked at Lu Xingyao in front of him.
Because the light was shining from behind, the man's face was hidden in the shadows and his expression could not be seen clearly.
But the only thing that was certain was that Lu Xingyao was also looking at him.
Those eyes, as deep as the night sky, seemed to flash through many emotions, and yet seemed to contain nothing, leaving only the cold silence after the heat death of the universe.
Somehow, the vampire who had just started to speak suddenly began to twitch.
His dark blue hands were holding the collar around his neck tightly, and the muscles in his arms were bulging from the effort. However, even so, the collar remained motionless and was stuck tightly around his neck.
He seemed to be having trouble breathing, and his throat made a series of hoarse "ho ho" sounds. Under the strong electric current attack, he didn't hold on for long before he rolled his eyes and fell into a coma.
The opponent's miserable condition made Ruan Chao's heart skip a beat.
I couldn't help but feel panic rising in my heart.
I began to worry whether I would end up like this.
In fact, as long as he calmed down and thought about it carefully, he would know that Lu Xingyao would definitely not treat him like this. He could just say a few nice words as usual to get away with it. Even if he said nothing, Lu Xingyao might find excuses for him... After all, he had shown doubts before.
But Nguyen Chao's current mood is simply not calm.
A confused mind cannot support itself to think about slightly complicated problems in such a situation.
So in the end, all that was left was instinctive reaction.
Just like a hit mole instinctively burrows into a hole to avoid the incoming hammer, the stressed kitten desperately tries to find a safe and secluded corner to hide.
The Nguyen Dynasty's first reaction was to escape.
Escape to a place where no one can see you and cannot be caught.
…
No one thought that Nguyen Dynasty would run away.
Because he looks like a very obedient and cowardly person, he won't react if poked a few times, and he will shrink like a little turtle if frightened, and he will only become furry even if irritated.
Although looking at the Nguyen Dynasty from an outsider's perspective, there are indeed some deviations from the real him.
But Lu Xingyao, who knew him, didn't expect him to run away.
He thought that Ruan Chao would act coquettishly and speak sweet words to him as he did before, saying that he didn't know the vampire at all and that he was just talking nonsense because he was mentally ill and shouldn't believe it.
He had already prepared himself to show trust no matter how outrageous Nguyen Chao's words were, and then simply put the matter aside and wait for Nguyen Chao to put down all his vigilance and concerns about him and tell him in person.
But Nguyen Chao's running directly disrupted his formation.
He was stunned until the boy bumped his shoulder and turned to look at him with eyes full of anxiety and panic. Only then did he start to chase after him.
Ruan Chao was a stunted, weak, arrogant little vampire. With his skills, he couldn't even beat an ordinary adult human, but he seemed to have put all his skills into escaping, and soon he disappeared in the streets with many buildings.
Of course, Ruan Chao ran so fast that even Lu Xingyao couldn't catch up with him. It was all thanks to the help provided by the system.
The entire city map was spread out in front of him, with all the locations marked on it. He knew which streets could more easily avoid pursuit and which corners could avoid being watched from above.
He quickly found himself a perfect hiding place.
It was a corner in a small alley, surrounded by a lot of garbage and debris.
He hid inside immediately.
His back was pressed against the cold wall, and in front of him was a cardboard box that was enough to completely hide his body.
He curled himself up, wrapped his arms around his legs, rested his forehead on his knees, and shrank into a pitiful little ball, completely hiding in this little corner.
Even if someone passed by this alley, they would not notice his presence at all.
My ears quieted down.
The air that filled my nose was dusty and smelly.
My pounding heart seemed to gradually calm down as time went by.
The system asked with some concern: [Chao Chao, are you okay? ]
Ruan Chao replied softly: […Not bad.]
After a while, he asked again.
[Should I not have run away like this? It makes me feel guilty, but I didn't do anything wrong.]
[But many people are watching, and they all know that I am not a human, but a little vampire hiding my identity in human society...]
He hugged me tighter and paid more attention. His voice was a little low and inaudible, with a noticeable tremor. [I could feel their hostility, as if they were looking at me as an alien.]
[…very annoying.]
He seemed to be talking to the system, or to himself, [This makes me feel that there is no difference between me and the vampire who fell to the ground and did something bad.]
The system was a little speechless, not knowing what to say to comfort the depressed host.
I could only touch it and transform into another form, flapping my little wings to accompany him, and rubbing my soft head against his hair.
Ruan Chao rubbed back.
The two, one big and one small, clung to each other like little animals seeking warmth in the dark night.
Ruan Chao felt better holding the Little Bird System.
He said unconvincedly: "I didn't do anything bad. I just drank Lu Xingyao's blood several times secretly, kept it a secret from him and didn't tell him my true identity. Then I stayed in his house and refused to leave... If he doesn't like it, I can just compensate him with some gold and gems."
He has plenty of these things anyway.
You can never throw them all away.
The Nguyen Dynasty seemed to regain its vitality after coming up with a solution.
He stood up and patted his dusty pants.
[I will go back now and pick out some beautiful gems for Lu Yao to offset the cost of accommodation and food.]
[No matter how precious his blood is, can it be more precious than gold? I will generously give him the remaining money. I won’t be as stingy as him.]
[But Chao Chao...] The system hesitated to speak.
Ruan Chao: [Hmm?]
【But your castle is a bit far away. 】
Ruan Chao did not realize the seriousness of the matter at this moment, and asked casually: [How far is it? ]
【Four hundred and sixteen kilometers.】
Nguyen Dynasty: [? ? ?]
When Nguyen Chao realized that the castle was hundreds of kilometers away, he became like a young seedling that had been dried out by the sun, and his whole body became wilted.
It was getting darker.
When the night falls completely, it is time for the hybrids to become active.
Although the system is there, he will not be in danger.
But staying in this place all the time is not a good choice.
Since he couldn’t go back to Lu Xingyao’s house, he could only find a hotel nearby to stay in.
I don't know if there are any suitable hotels nearby.
The Nguyen Dynasty, which had never considered this problem, was forced to worry about its livelihood.
Even though the system was there, he was still a little scared to be alone in such a dark place. He pushed aside the box of sundries blocking him and squeezed out of the narrow gap.
There was a rustling sound not far away.
Ruan Chao's expression changed slightly, thinking that it was Lu Xingyao who came to find him.
His movements inevitably froze for a moment.
Although he was not ready to face Lu Xingyao, he had already calmed down, and after knowing that Lu Xingyao came to see him, he could not deny that he had a trace of emotion.
And this time it wasn't fear.
When Ruan Chao turned his head, even he didn't notice the slight curling of his lips.
Then, the next second.
"Bastard!!!"
"How did it get here?"
"Ah!! There's more than one!!!"
"So ugly, so disgusting... Ugh!"
Purebloods naturally feel oppressive towards such creatures.
The Nguyen Dynasty didn't need to do anything, just showing its slightly pointed canine teeth would scare them away.
He was so disgusted by their ugly faces and bad breath that he kept vomiting, and at the same time he bared his teeth and panted like a furry kitten, making a ferocious expression.
This method works very well.
Without exception, all of the mixed-bloods who had originally tried to approach him ran away.
Ruan Chao touched his red eyes.
The first time he discovered that his identity as a vampire was somewhat useful, and it didn't bring him all bad things.
He easily scared away the last mixed-blood monster and shouted arrogantly at the side.
"Come on, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
"I'm not so weak that you can bully me."
The arm at the side of my body was suddenly grabbed by an external force.
Ruan Chao, who was just full of pride and proud of himself, immediately showed a panic expression. He didn't expect that there was a fish that had escaped the net behind him!
He immediately fought back with bared teeth.
It wasn't the bluish-white skin, the long black nails, or the disgusting face...but Nguyen Chao didn't stop his attack and bit down hard with the force.
Almost instantly, blood began to flow out.
It is sweet, delicious and unique blood.
The grip on his arm did not lessen, but tightened.
Ruan Chao was still biting his fingers, his sharp teeth completely embedded in the flesh, and more blood gushed out.
It flowed onto Ruan Chao's beautiful lips that were like petals, and onto his fair jaw...but he still didn't let go.
The boy's eyes were dyed scarlet, and he showed no emotion at all, like an animal. This was the first time he had such a strong sense of inhumanity.
Lu Xingyao seemed to feel no pain and still stubbornly held his arm tightly, afraid that he would suddenly run away again and run to a place where he would never be able to find him again.
Ruan Chao's expression became puzzled, and his red eyes showed a bit of confusion... In the end, he loosened his grip and stopped biting. He didn't know whether he was afraid that the blood would flow to the ground and be wasted, or he wanted to relieve the pain, but he gently licked the wound with the tip of his soft tongue.
"Chao Chao."
Lu Xingyao spoke.
His voice was very soft, like a warm breeze gently passing by your ears.
It seemed that even slightly increasing the volume would scare the little vampire in front of him.
"Let's go home," he said.
