Shu Xubai's lips curled into a wide smile, barely able to close. He suppressed his pleasure and spoke fiercely like a dog that could only bark but not bite: "You food, making such a request to your master? Have I spoiled you too much, making you forget your place?"
The invisible ginger shreds: "..."
Which of the two women actually read a whole library of domineering CEO novels?
Why does every word he utters have the air of a domineering CEO and a scumbag?
Jiufeng was neither angry nor annoyed. She turned around again, lifted her feet, and walked towards the castle wrapped in red roses, saying, "I have not forgotten my identity. I especially like this place and want to stay here forever."
“However, since my master says he spoils me too much and makes me forget my place, it's alright, I'll just go somewhere else…”
"Just beg me." Shu Xubai quickened his pace involuntarily, interrupting him, afraid that he would say something infuriating: "Beg me properly, have the self-awareness of being food, and I, as a generous master, will not refuse you."
Jiufeng stopped abruptly, picked a red rose from the side of the road, removed the thorns, and waited for Shu Xubai to walk towards him. She then handed him the red rose, saying, "My master, I beg you, please let me live in your house, forever, please?"
Shu Xubai reached out and scooped up a rose, snapped the stem, and tucked it into his jacket pocket. The vibrant rose became the most dazzling color on his white suit, second only to the red feather: "Since you begged me, I'll reluctantly agree now, but it depends on your performance. If you don't perform well, I can fire you anytime, anywhere."
Jiufeng suddenly laughed, her smile more fragrant than roses and more beautiful than any other flower: "Thank you, Master. I will definitely behave well and stay in your castle forever, and stay in your coffin forever."
Shu Xubai stared at his smile, and in that instant, it felt like an eternity. He looked again and again, his eyes glued to him, until the man turned and walked away, his hand touching the rose bushes by the roadside, causing the rose petals to fall and form a rain of rose petals. Only then did he come back to his senses, lift his foot and chase after him, arrogantly saying, "My coffin isn't so comfortable to sleep in."
"If you want to stay in my coffin forever, it depends on your performance and whether you are qualified. If you don't perform well, or if you make me unhappy, I can bite you to death anytime, drink your blood, eat your flesh, smash your bones, and throw you out."
Without turning her head, Jiufeng said to him, "You wouldn't do that. You've searched for so many years, and all you found was one delicious meal like me. How could you possibly smash my bones to pieces and scatter my ashes? You're just trying to scare me. I won't be frightened by you."
"The rain of red rose petals is so beautiful! Come quickly! Before entering the castle, take a stroll around the outside and see what kind of beauty your castle is, inside and out!"
Shu Xubai snorted, lowering his bottom line again and again, until there was no bottom. Not only did the petals of the red roses on both sides of the road flutter up, but even the red rose petals on the castle fell down.
While others' petal showers are sparse and light, this place is experiencing a torrential downpour, as if the entire area is enveloped in a red rain—vibrant, colorful, and radiant.
The invisible ginger shreds were all in this rain of petals, and I felt that I should change my clothes today, wear a red dress with wide sleeves, or a red dress with a large skirt, to do justice to this rain of petals.
She stood in front of the castle gate, the entire castle enveloped in red roses, looking from afar like a large red rose.
Jiufeng and Shuxubai walked around the castle and arrived at the castle gate.
As soon as Shu Xubai stood in front of the gate, the roses climbing on it seemed to come alive and climbed away on their own, revealing the original appearance of the castle gate.
Jiang Si put her hands in her pockets and watched as Shu Xu pushed open the beautiful castle gate with a creak.
With a whoosh, countless bats flew out of the castle. Jiang Si tilted her head back and dodged a small bat, almost getting hit head-on by one.
When the little bats flew out, they seemed to automatically avoid Jiu Feng Shu Xu Bai, who was standing in front of the door. They flew to the left and right of their heads, not even touching a corner of their clothes or a hair, let alone the two of them.
After countless small bats had flown away, the gate opened, and Jiufeng reached out and grabbed Shu Xubai's hand.
Shu Xubai paused slightly as he lifted his foot, gave a cold snort, and didn't shake off his hand, letting him pull his hand and lead him into the castle.
All the candles in the castle were lit, making the castle as bright as day, even though it was shrouded in roses, making it magnificent, elegant, and luxurious.
Various famous paintings hang in the corridors and on the walls. The castle pillars are inlaid with various gemstones and painted with various beautiful totems.
As if he were back in time more than 3,000 years ago, Jiu Feng let go of Shu Xubai's hand and touched the sofa, the lamp, the candlestick, the table, the chair, and all the decorations.
He was like a child arriving in a new environment, curious about everything and wanting to touch everything.
Jiang Si leaned back on the sofa, crossed her legs, and crossed her arms over her chest. She looked at Jiu Feng and Shu Xubai. "You old codger, the castle is so well preserved. It seems that he hasn't stayed in the Abel system all these years. He also comes back to Earth from time to time."
That makes sense. When she and he woke up, they were in the Abel Galaxy. It was as if she had just fallen asleep and gone to the Abel Galaxy, while he had lived day by day and year by year for more than 3,000 years before they met again.
Over the past 3,000 years, he couldn't stay in one place forever. He had to go to many places, see many people, and experience many things to avoid going crazy and to make the days pass by faster.
Immortality is not about wealth and glory, nor is it something to be longed for; rather, it is a torment, a torment that lasts day after day, year after year.
Shu Xubai followed behind Jiu Feng, wanting to say several times, "Are you an ignorant child?" But he didn't say it, didn't voice it.
Perhaps it was because Jiufeng was more cautious about everything here than he had imagined, and more eager to get closer than he had imagined, that he looked at everything in the room, and he looked at himself.
Jiufeng had looked at and touched everything on the first floor, and then went up to the second floor.
Jiang Si leaped from the first floor and sat on the railing on the second floor, watching Jiu Feng walk up to the second floor, holding onto the handrail.
The second-floor corridor is carpeted with soft carpets, and the walls are adorned with oil paintings: sunflowers, red roses, nude women, and geometric patterns. At the end of the corridor is a beautiful porcelain vase.
Jiufeng touched every oil painting, touched every vase, opened every door in the castle on the second floor, entered every room, and lingered in every room.
After viewing the second floor, he went up to the third floor and then to the top floor. He looked at and touched every nook and cranny of the castle.
Shu Xubai didn't say a word, following behind him with a smirk on his face, wiggling his wolf ears, almost revealing his wolf tail.
Jiang Si jumped down from the second floor again, disappearing into the sofa like a boneless creature, waiting for Jiu Feng to come down from upstairs. On the way, Shu Xubai's little black bat approached.
The little black bat, with no skin or flesh but only bones, approached her little by little like a maggot, trying to crawl on her body.
Jiang Si looked at the little black bat, and with a flick of her hand, the little black bat fell to the ground with a thud, but it was not giving up and climbed up her leg again.
Jiang Si shook her leg to shake it off, but unexpectedly, the thing flew up and burrowed into her hair.
Jiang Si got angry and grabbed it, making it invisible. She stuck her hand into the two holes where there were no eyeballs, poked at the holes, and shook it vigorously.
The little black skeleton bat didn't complain or bark, letting her shake it as it pleased, behaving completely unlike Shu Xubai's lackey.
"Which room is yours?" Jiufenglou came down from the second floor and asked Shu Xubai, "Why don't I see the coffin you slept in?"
There were rooms and beds on the second floor, beds covered with black gauze and beds covered with red gauze, but he didn't see a coffin, so he was a little unsure where Shu Xubai was sleeping, whether in a bed or a coffin.
Shu Xubai leaned against the second-floor railing, looking at him: "Aren't you tired?"
Jiufeng was slightly taken aback: "I'm not tired!"
Shu Xubai raised an eyebrow: "Are you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry either?" Jiufeng shook her head, stepped forward, tilted her neck to the side, and asked Shu Xubai, "Are you hungry?"
On his slender neck, one could see the flow of blood. Shu Xubai's eyes darkened for a moment, his throat moved slightly, and his lips were dry, as if he was hungry, but not really.
Seeing that he hadn't moved or bitten yet, Jiufeng looked at him and asked, "What's wrong? Aren't you hungry?"
Shu Xubai swallowed hard and looked away: "I'm a first-generation vampire, not a low-level vampire who needs to drink blood every day. Of course, if you're obedient, I'll be in a good mood and I'll only need to eat blood once every 8 or 10 years. But if you're disobedient, I'll bite you every day."
The last few words were spoken in a very fierce tone.
Jiufeng took another step closer to him: "I don't want to obey now, do you want to bite me?"
Vampires have absolutely no resistance to delicious food.
Especially for picky vampires, over the years, they have only found two kinds of food: shredded ginger and nine-phoenix.
He really wanted to ignore Jiufeng's invitation and bite her, drinking her blood first, but his body had almost died a few days ago, and losing too much blood now would be bad for his health.
He had finally managed to get the stinky zombie to heal him, but if it bites him again and causes any more harm, he'll have to go back to the stinky zombie and ask it to heal him again.
He was the one suffering, he was the one worrying. He couldn't possibly do this unprofitable business, so he held back. He didn't bite into the food that was offered to him, nor did he drink the blood.
"I'm not hungry!" Shu Xubai reached out and straightened his body, turning his neck to the side, and pulled the cloak up to cover his neck: "You don't need to eat."
A flicker of sadness crossed Jiufeng's eyes: "Fine, tell me if you're hungry. I am your food, and you are my master. I will be there for you whenever you are hungry."
Shu Xubai hummed in response, took his hand, and was about to lead him downstairs when he frowned: "Why are your hands so cold?"
Jiufeng's hands and feet were cold, and her whole body was cold: "It's not very cold. It's probably because we've been traveling through the sky all the way here without any shelter from the wind."
Shu Xubai, this vampire, is also cold, but if he turned into a wolf and wore fur, he wouldn't be cold: "Why didn't you say you were cold?"
"I'm not cold," Jiufeng said. "I can see such beautiful scenery, I'm not cold at all."
Shu Xubai tried to find a trace of the Tsar in his face, but couldn't find any. She took his hand and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see where I sleep."
Jiufeng agreed and followed him, being pulled along.
From upstairs to downstairs, in the first-floor hall, with a snap, the first-floor floorboards separated.
Jiang Si, who was sitting on the sofa, was moved to the side. She stood up, holding the little black bat, and the entrance to the underground castle appeared in front of her.
Shu Xubai pulled Jiu Feng down the stairs at the entrance of the underground castle.
Jiang Si followed closely behind, carrying the little black bat. She had never been to or seen the underground castle of that old codger, Shu Xubai.
A luminous pearl at the entrance of the staircase winds down, illuminating the staircase clearly. The staircase leads to a ground floor, where various jewels, gold, coins, and other miscellaneous items are piled up.
The second floor of the staircase was piled with all sorts of calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, sculptures, jade, and other strange and unusual items, all in heaps and baskets, as if they had been casually tossed there.
The third floor of the underground castle is where Shu Xubai sleeps. Various coffins are lined up there, made of nanmu wood, mahogany, jade, marble, and any material available on the market.
Looking at these coffins, at first glance he doesn't seem like a vampire at all, but rather a coffin seller who collects all kinds of coffins and then sells them.
Looking at the dazzling array of coffins, Jiufeng asked Shu Xubai, "Master, which one do you sleep in?"
Shu Xubai crossed his arms and asked him in return, "What do you think?"
Jiufeng glanced around and saw that all the coffins were the same size except for the material. He walked to the carved nanmu coffin and asked, "This one, this is where you slept, right?"
Shu Xubai walked up to him, reached out and pushed open the coffin lid: "Wrong, wrong answer. Go to sleep by yourself, I'm not sleeping with you."
Jiufeng grabbed him and said, "I'm a little tired. Can you lie down with me for a while?"
Shu Xubai narrowed his eyes, his words carrying a hint of arrogance, and didn't shake him off: "If you're tired, go to sleep yourself. Why are you dragging me along? I still have to clean my coffin."
Jiufeng tightened her grip, her voice softening slightly, as if all her energy had been drained away. She pleaded weakly and listlessly, "Master, please sleep with me for a little while, just a little while. When I wake up, I'll help you clean the coffin. I'm so tired, please sleep with me for a little while, just a little while!"
