Chapter 39
On the other side, after Pei Zhao "abandoned" Zhou Yuli, he went straight to stop the cloaked man wearing the medal.
The cloaked man was dressed in black, with a long tail and sharp nails, which reminded Pei Zhao of a species he had only seen in movies.
vampire.
Pei Zhao's eyes fell on his undisguised fangs, his eyes moved slightly, and he tentatively called out: "Dracula?"
…
The cloaked man paused, and Pei Zhao was delighted. He then slowly raised his head and looked at him unkindly: "Who are you calling?"
Pei Zhao thought, how could this really be a blind cat catching a dead mouse?
So he pretended to be calm: "You, Dracula?"
The expressions on the cloaked man's face were varied, as if he was angry, but also as if he had some other emotions.
Pei Zhao thought he had guessed right, but just as he was trying to recall the vampire plot and wanted to say something, he heard the cloaked man suddenly sneer and roar: "What lowly bloodline?! My name is Miu Yi--"
Absurd?
Pei Zhao was confused.
He thought to himself what a weird name this was, he had never heard of it before.
The man who called himself Miu Yi seemed to frankly admit his identity as a vampire, which surprised Pei Zhao. He thought that the vampires were noble and mysterious like in the movies. Some of them were violent, like wolves on the prairie, who would bite each other at the first sight.
But this one in front of me... looks ferocious and scary at first glance, but the more I look at it, the more I feel that it has a sense of childishness?
This reminded Pei Zhao of the children of relatives whom he helped take care of during the summer vacations.
"...If you behave yourself, I'll buy you some candy." Pei Zhao suddenly popped up these words in his mind. This was how he used to coax those kids, and it was very effective.
But Miu Yi obviously didn't buy it. After he finished speaking, his expression became even angrier, and even his eyes turned red. "...You want to die, don't you?"
Pei Zhao didn't understand why a vampire would make such a fuss about rules here, and it seemed that they were even just executors - otherwise, according to the novels he had read, they should be immediately killed by some supernatural energy after breaking the rules.
Pei Zhao completely forgot that it was only because they all possessed supernatural powers, otherwise he would be like Xu Zhen, and could only wait for fate to execute him.
As Miu Yi said this, he rushed towards him, and Pei Zhao subconsciously raised his whip to resist. He had never learned any physical skills, and relied on instinct for attack and defense. However, due to his fierce attack, Pei Zhao soon gained the upper hand.
Just when he thought he could not resist any longer, he suddenly felt a gust of wind behind his head, and the next moment, vines tightly wrapped around Miu Yi's hands and feet, pulling him backwards!
Pei Zhao knew that it was Zhou Yuli who came, and turned to look at him: "Zhou Yuli!"
Zhou Yuli nodded to him, holding a short-haired woman in his arms.
The reason why I know it is a woman is because her figure is so slender. If she were a man, she would be as ugly as a skeleton if she was this thin, but because she is a girl, her thin figure makes her look like an underage girl.
She seemed to have lost consciousness. Pei Zhao noticed that there was only a plastic anti-lost ring on her wrist, and nothing else.
Pei Zhao understood that this person was probably Xu Zhen's sister.
It was difficult for Zhou Yuli to take action as he was alone with someone. Pei Zhao just turned around to confirm Zhou Yuli's situation and immediately came back to his senses. This time, because Miu Yi was trapped, he easily manipulated the mirror whip to wrap the person up.
The sharp edges pierced into his clothes, oozing bright red blood. Pei Zhao couldn't bear to watch, but his face didn't show even a trace of pain.
The mirror whip was stained red, and Pei Zhao raised his chin to Zhou Yuli. Zhou Yuli immediately brought people back to the glass warehouse. After confirming that they were sisters, he sent them both out of the garden.
"Is it really okay for you to go back like this?" Xu Zhen asked.
Zhou Yuli paused as he walked out, looked back at her, and said, "Your sister can't leave you."
Xu Zhen looked at him for a long time, and finally just bowed deeply to him: "Thank you."
Zhou Yuli said "hmm" and left.
Pei Zhao saw Zhou Yuli coming back alone and didn't say anything. Zhou Yuli said to him: "How do we deal with this?"
Pei Zhao raised his chin towards the other direction. Bai Zhou and Lan Ji were still fighting fiercely. Those people seemed tireless. Even if they were burned to ashes, they would continue to be reborn.
"Is it because of you?" Pei Zhao fixed his gaze on Miu Yi, who was struggling with red eyes.
Although his body was covered with wounds, he was still full of fighting spirit. Pei Zhao couldn't understand why this man couldn't be calmer?
"Like a sick dog." Pei Zhao said, looking at Zhou Yuli, "You take care of it?"
Zhou Yuli nodded slightly: "Yeah."
Pei Zhao snorted and turned to help Bai Zhou and the others.
"Don't even think I'll give in! You, all of you, are the same, stupid, lowly... you!"
Zhou Yuli became impatient and slapped him in the face, then he opened his eyes wide with disbelief written all over them.
Mi Yi: "You hit me?"
Zhou Yuli: "You are very noisy."
Miu Yi's eyes became even redder: "You dare to hit me? You are such a lowly person, you..."
Zhou Yuli raised his hand again.
Mi Yi: “…you!”
Zhou Yuli had no expression. Compared to his super handsome younger brother, this guy was too obedient. He even kept scolding him with words like "lowly" and "stupid", which were completely irrelevant and had no lethality at all.
Zhou Yuli scratched his ear, looking a little impatient: "Stop yelling, I want to discuss something with you."
Miu Yi bared his teeth, but when he saw Zhou Yuli's hand, he remained silent for a moment, staring with scarlet eyes and asked, "What?"
Zhou Yuli's tone was a little impatient. He said, "I let someone go. I need to find another person to fill the position. You come."
Miu Yi showed a ridiculous expression: "You want me to help you?"
Zhou Yuli said, "What? Are you going to help or not? Just forget it if you don't want to help?"
He thought to himself that he was crazy for even thinking of asking a vampire for help. As soon as he saw Pei Zhao's expression, he knew that he had let Xu Zhen go without saying goodbye, which made Pei Zhao unhappy, and he had to find a way to make up for it. This was the only person around me at the time, and I actually asked.
Zhou Yuli didn't think of agreeing to it falsely. Seeing that he was looking at him as if he were a fool, he didn't want to waste time here anymore. He raised his hand and raised the vine to tie the man up tightly.
Miu Yi obviously misunderstood. When he saw Zhou Yuli raising his hand, he subconsciously closed his eyes and shrank back, shouting incoherently: "Help, I'll help! Don't hit me!"
Zhou Yuli took back his hand, a little confused: "Help?"
Miu Yi nodded repeatedly, "I'll help you, please don't hit me anymore."
Zhou Yuli looked at his hand in confusion, "Do you get beaten often?"
Miu Yi paused and said, "How, how is it possible? I am the great Miu Yi, how is it possible!"
Zhou Yuli knew at first glance that he was lying, but he didn't say much, just said "oh".
Mi Yi said: "But, can I have a request?"
Zhou Yuli looked up at him and said, "Speak."
Miu Yi: "...I hope you can take me to see my brother and tell him that you asked me to help..."
"You have a brother?"
Miu Yi nodded: "Yes. He is also a human being."
This was unexpected. Zhou Yuli raised his eyebrows: "Human?"
Miu Yi lowered his head: "He is my brother and also my... owner."
Owner?
Zhou Yuli's eyes darkened and he said nothing more.
·
The battle lasted until dawn, when the rising red sun scorched the cloaked men and turned them into a wisp of smoke and dust and disappeared.
Bai Zhou and Lan Ji had a great fight, then rolled up their sleeves and prepared to go get to work.
"He will become our puppet," said Zhou Yuli.
Bai Zhou and Lan Ji both showed surprise: "Isn't it Xu Zhen?"
"Xu Zhen..." Zhou Yuli pursed his lips, "I let her go."
He went to see Pei Zhao, who was also looking at him quietly. There was no blame in his eyes, but it made him feel inexplicably uneasy. Zhou Yuli explained with a guilty conscience: "Her sister's condition is such that it will be difficult for her to survive if everyone takes care of her."
He explained this specifically to Pei Zhao, but Pei Zhao did not react after hearing it. Instead, Bai Zhou touched his chin thoughtfully.
"That makes sense. Her sister's situation...what was her sister's situation?"
He was so busy fighting that he didn't notice what was happening here at all!
Lan Ji noticed the strange atmosphere between Zhou Yuli and Pei Zhao, shook his head and patted Bai Zhou's shoulder, "Don't be stupid, Your Highness, let's go check on the one over there."
After the two left, only Pei Zhao and Zhou Yuli were left.
As the day dawned, there was a noise outside. Pei Zhao looked haggard after a night of fierce fighting and torture. He used the mirror whip to tie up Miu Yi, as he had suffered some injuries on his face in the previous battle.
Zhou Yuli raised his hand and rubbed Pei Zhao's face: "Does it hurt? I'm sorry."
Pei Zhao turned his face away and lowered his head slightly, "It wasn't you who hurt me, why are you apologizing?"
Zhou Yuli lowered his head in front of him: "I shouldn't have let Xu Zhen go."
"Zhou Yuli, there's no problem with letting Xu Zhen go, but you should have told me." Pei Zhao looked at him seriously, "Do you think I'm an unreasonable person?"
"Of course not!" Zhou Yuli denied, "I just..."
Zhou Yuli tried hard to recall when his mentality changed, and he actually traced it back to when Pei Zhao woke up from a nightmare and he let go of his hand. Later, he brought Xu Zhen back, talked to her so much, and even promised to help her save her sister.
But Pei Zhao was angry with him now. Zhou Yuli knew clearly that his emotions were caused by Pei Zhao, but it was definitely not Pei Zhao's problem.
"I'm sorry, I'm jealous. I don't like her being your puppet." Zhou Yuli told the truth.
"You!" Pei Zhao glared. He really didn't expect Zhou Yuli to be so frank. Pei Zhao sighed, "I just wanted us to survive. It's so dangerous here. You know I even had a nightmare!"
Pei Zhao still felt a lingering fear when he mentioned that dream.
"What dream?" Zhou Yuli asked, "What did you dream about? After you woke up, you wouldn't let me touch you."
Pei Zhao was speechless. How could this person be so petty? "I dreamed that you wanted to kill me. It's not that I don't allow you to touch me, but when I woke up, I couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream. What if you want to kill me again?"
Zhou Yuli shook his head: "I won't kill you."
Pei Zhao laughed angrily, "I already said it was a dream! It was a dream!"
Zhou Yuli stopped talking. The two stood for a while, and Zhou Yuli asked again: "Have you forgiven me?"
Pei Zhao was at his wits' end. He patted Zhou Yuli on the back and said weakly, "Forgive me, I forgive you."
Zhou Yuli assured again, "I promise I will discuss it with you next time."
"good……"
Pei Zhao was completely speechless. Why didn't he realize before that Zhou Yuli was so...stubborn?
