Chapter 35 Blood Clan Ancient Text (Bloodstains) 11 Desire for Control
As he spoke, Ruiyin looked at Haien in front of him with a meaningful smile.
"Besides, he's a peacock-like creature."
The sarcasm in this sentence was particularly strong, because Song Qingqing followed Ruiyin's gaze and found that...Hain's dress for the ball tonight could indeed be described as gorgeous and a little exaggerated.
The blond, blue-eyed vampire youth was wearing a beige tuxedo, but if you looked closely, you could see that he was wearing a lot of gem accessories, such as a collar flower embellished with amethyst and a tourmaline snowflake brooch, and even his cufflinks were inlaid with gems.
But such a gorgeous dress does not look vulgar on Hain, but instead shows the temperament of a vampire aristocrat.
Seeing the jewel accessories that Hain was wearing, Song Qingqing was certain that the box of amethyst rings in her body was a gift from Hain.
When Hain heard the word that Anx often used to call him a peacock, the warm and sunny smile on his face almost disappeared, and the depths of his emerald eyes revealed a hint of murderous intent towards Ryan.
However, Song Qingqing was still there, so Hai En did not show his dislike for Rui Yin. Instead, he smiled and looked at the girl who was so anxious that she wanted to escape the area. "Xifu, who is this person next to you?"
Song Qingqing's action of pinching the hem of her skirt paused imperceptibly. It seemed that her small action of wanting to sneak away from this explosive battlefield had been discovered by Hai En. When she met Hai En's smiling eyes looking at her, she looked away guiltily, her voice so low that it was almost inaudible.
"It's Ryan, my..."
She didn't know how to introduce Ryan. Should she say he was her dance partner? But she was afraid of being overheard by Karan and Anx, because she still remembered what Anx had said. If she disobeyed him, he might turn around and lock her up in the tower.
Hain smiled and met Ryan's dark eyes with a slightly provocative look.
It was as if he was mocking the other party for not having a legitimate identity and not even having a normal identity that he could talk about. After all, he was still Xifu's fiancé, but who was this guy in front of him?
Ryan was not angered by Hein's provocation. After the last experience, he knew Hein's nature better than anyone else.
Compared to Karan and Anx, who can be seen as dangerous at first sight, Hain is undoubtedly the most deceptive vampire. Many humans on campus think that he is a sunny and cheerful guy.
Ryan chuckled. "I'm Sif's dance partner for practice before the ball. I unexpectedly discovered that we have a lot of chemistry, right, Sif?"
Song Qingqing didn't say anything, but she was cursing Ruiyin as a bastard in her heart. Even though Ruiyin looked harmless when he smiled, in her eyes, he was a complete bastard.
There is no tacit understanding at all!
If they had a tacit understanding, she wouldn't have fallen and stepped on her own feet so many times.
She had completely forgotten that she was secretly planning to step on Ryan.
As if he could see that the girl was secretly cursing herself in her heart, the smile in Ruiyin's eyes deepened.
The smile on Hai Enjun's face faded a little. He coldly, as if out of kindness, glanced at Rui Yin, a pale young man with black hair and black eyes, and slightly tilted his head. At an angle where Song Qingqing couldn't see, he silently warned him with his mouth.
"Don't try to provoke with your own life."
Just when he was about to take the initiative to invite Song Qingqing to dance the opening dance, the uninvited guests arrived.
It was Ankers, the twin, and the guy Hain hated the most.
Ankers rarely wore formal clothes, looking very well dressed, of course, if his face was not so gloomy. He would have looked like a lion about to go into a rage.
Anx's dangerously calm gaze fell on the girl who was sitting in a daze in the corner, and he stretched out his hand to her: "Sif, Karan and I are looking for you."
Hein sarcastically asked, "Could it be that Anx, the barbarian from the Geshier family, can dance?"
As soon as the word "barbarian" came out, Song Qingqing saw the expression on Anx's face sank at a speed visible to the naked eye. She had also heard a little about the conflict between Anx and Hain. Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, she bit her lip lightly and placed her hand in Anx's palm.
Song Qingqing responded softly: "Brother Anks, I'm sorry. I understand. I'll come over right away."
Anks exerted force with his hands, pulled the girl up and brought her into his arms, holding her slender waist and leaving.
Before leaving, she did not forget to step lightly on Hain's snow-white and clean leather shoes.
There were already many vampires around looking here. Hain, who was always well-mannered, naturally couldn't get angry, so he could only glare at Anks fiercely, turned around and walked towards the vampire members who had been waiting for him for a long time with a warm smile.
No one noticed that Ryan, the pale and gloomy "human" youth sitting in the corner, could hardly suppress the dark red in his black pupils when he saw Anks taking the girl away. He dug his fingers into his palms so hard that even his knuckles turned pale.
When Song Qingqing followed Anx to Kalan's side, the elegant and noble young vampire was casually dealing with the flattery of the vampires, but it seemed more like he was trying to win people's hearts. Although his attitude towards people was gentle, he was shrouded in a sense of alienation.
Noticing Anx coming with his men, Karan raised his eyes, and when he saw the girl, his indifferent lake blue eyes were covered with a faint smile, as if he saw that she was in a good mood. But Song Qingqing could clearly see that there was a hint of displeasure deep in Karan's eyes... displeasure that the prey was out of control.
Song Qingqing looked at it and felt a chill down her spine.
She realized almost instantly that Karan had been observing the situation in the corner where she had just been, and he saw everything clearly, including her fiancé Hain and Ryan.
Song Qingqing clearly understood that Karan's desire for control was far more pathological and terrifying than Anx's.
Karan put down the glass of bright red wine in his hand, smiled gently and waved in the direction of Song Qingqing, motioning her to come over.
Song Qingqing noticed at a glance that the liquid in the cup seemed abnormal. It was completely unlike ordinary wine. It was sticky and turbid, with strands of liquid hanging on the wall of the cup, slowly flowing down and merging into the wine.
She didn't dare to think about what the wine-red liquid in the cup was.
The actions of these vampires in anticipation of the feast can be said to be blatant.
Ankers was right behind her, his arm pressed against her waist, leaving her no room to retreat. Song Qingqing walked over with a pale face. Karan lovingly stroked the girl's soft and warm cheek, and his fingertips fiddled with the ruby earrings on her snow-white earlobes.
The jewel earrings swayed slightly with Karan's movements, creating a beautiful bright red arc in the air.
Karan casually held Song Qingqing's wrist, smiled gently and said, "Has Xifu been waiting for a long time?"
He didn't ask about the commotion he had caused among the vampires in the corner just now.
But this seemed even more terrifying, like the calm before a storm, which made people feel a little suffocated.
Song Qingqing bit her lip helplessly, shook her head, forced a smile, and answered Karan's question softly: "Not long."
As if the atmosphere wasn't suffocating enough, Anx put on a playful and malicious smile, trying to provoke his brother and adding fuel to the fire.
"It wasn't that long ago. When I went over there just now, I saw Sif having a great time talking to her fiancé. Oh, that crazy little guy, Hain, from the Lehman family..."
Anx paused deliberately and continued with a smile, "It seems there was another human civilian. He said he often practiced dancing with our Sif."
"Is that so?" Kahlan still had that elegant and calm demeanor. "They seem very popular. Does Sif like them very much?"
Such seemingly sincere praise almost made Song Qingqing lose the smile she was trying to maintain. Her head was buzzing and her eyelashes were trembling. "Sifu doesn't like them. Brother Karan, are you willing to dance the opening dance with me?"
After saying that, fearing that Anx would also come to torment her because of displeasure, she added, "And there's brother Anx."
Karan's thin lips formed a gentle smile. He held up the girl's hand and placed a light kiss on the back of her snow-white hand, seemingly accepting the lady's invitation very gentlemanly.
"I am naturally happy to accept Xifu's invitation."
Anx, not willing to be outdone, put his arms around the girl's slender waist, bent down, and kissed her lovely white earlobe. His dangerous sharp teeth seemed to caress her inadvertently, scaring her so much that she trembled slightly.
After successfully scaring the person, Anx chuckled with satisfaction, "I'm truly honored that Xifu hasn't forgotten me."
Classical and melodious dance music started on time, and the crisp sound of women's high heels hitting the marble floor could be heard in the hall.
Song Qingqing was sandwiched between Karan and Anx, with Karan in front of her and Anx hugging her from behind. She had no way of keeping up with the two people's completely different dance rhythms and paces. She tripped herself several times because she was too nervous, but was casually supported by the two people, who also did not forget to sigh.
"It seems that the partner that Sif practiced with wasn't very competent."
Song Qingqing didn't dare to say anything. In a sense, they were not wrong. The bastard Rui Yin would only make her angry during dance practice, or he would deliberately tease her and make her fall on him.
The lights in the hall dimmed at some point, danger lurked quietly, and the sweet and fishy smell of blood spread, stimulating the vampires' bloodthirsty instincts and nerves.
Song Qingqing keenly noticed the changes in the hall. She looked behind Kalan blankly and saw a vampire lady whose eyes had turned scarlet. Her bright face was buried in the neck of a human youth.
Perhaps she noticed the girl's gaze, she raised her eyes slightly and met Song Qingqing's eyes.
The vampire lady smiled at her, with bloodstains on her red lips.
Song Qingqing opened her eyes wide.
Then her view was blocked by Kalan's tall figure. Kalan lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "Is Xifu interested? It seems that she has been watching it all the time."
Noticing the girl's stiff and tense body, Karan chuckled and gently comforted her.
"Don't worry, this isn't the right occasion for Sif."
Just as he originally thought, the sweet treasure cannot be exposed, as it will attract unnecessary covetousness, and needs to be hidden well.
