A few light coughs were heard from upstairs, very light, but resounding and carrying an unquestionable warning.
Several people were startled and looked at each other in bewilderment. Mu Yaxi had the castle soundproofed, so even a vampire couldn't hear a sound outside once the door was closed. This was especially true of Barlow's current room, which was even more soundproof than the other rooms. Yet, Barlow's warning cough was resoundingly heard.
Everyone looked at Mu Yaxi, who shrugged, looking bewildered.
Luo Youyou looked solemn, which meant that they had been deceiving themselves into thinking that Barlow could not hear anything. In fact, from the time Barlow came to the castle, he had heard every word they said, and even a light cough of his could penetrate these layers of barriers and reach their ears as long as he wanted.
She briefly recalled whether she had said anything she shouldn't have said these days, but she didn't know if it was because she had just detoxified her body, she felt a little confused, and the pile of bad things in front of her made her upset, so for a moment she couldn't remember what she had said.
She winked at everyone, and they immediately understood. Several dark figures flashed past, and the castle hall was empty. Arriving in the downtown area, a few people strolled slowly along the neon-lit streets like ordinary people. Their faces were filled with sorrow, but their glowing white skin and impeccably refined features drew a wave of sidelong glances from passersby.
Jing Yan realized that the large group of "handsome men and beautiful women" was too conspicuous, so he suggested finding a quieter place to sit for a while.
Ever since Luo Youyou sucked Barlow's blood, her senses seemed to have become more sensitive. Various smells filled her nostrils, making her feel a little uncomfortable for a while. Fragrance, sweat, rotten smell...all kinds of smells mixed together, making it impossible for her to avoid them.
She frowned and touched the tip of her nose with her fingers, as if trying to isolate the strong smell, but found it was in vain.
Lang Bai's gaze swept over Luo Youyou's face and immediately suggested going hunting in the jungle. Shuncheng was a large city. The mountains and jungles surrounding Shuncheng had been more or less destroyed by humans. But while not as good as Pingqu, it still housed many elves or spirit beasts on the verge of becoming elves.
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Because of Han Shuiyan, Luo Youyou didn't like them to go hunting in the jungle, for fear of hurting the elves there.
There are many kinds of spirits in the human world. Most of them are animals or plants that have absorbed the essence of heaven and earth over the years and transformed into a spiritual body, but they cannot leave their original body.
If it were an animal, it would be fine. But for an elf like Han Shuiyan, they would just stay where they are and be slaughtered even if there is danger. Therefore, plant elves would raise some spiritual beasts under their bodies to protect themselves, just like Hu Zi protected Han Shuiyan.
So even if they are animals, Luo Youyou doesn't want to hurt them because they want to protect the tree spirit.
But right now, Luo Youyou couldn't stand the city's mixed smells, and he couldn't let everyone go hungry. Just as he was hesitating, Yuri said, "Let's try a different game today."
"What's the game?"
"Snatching food from a tiger's mouth." Yuri beamed with joy, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense. Under everyone's puzzled gaze, he paused and said, "Let's snatch food from the beast's mouth. This way, neither we nor the other party will get hurt, and we can still get food. How about that?"
Yinzhan became interested and said, "That sounds interesting."
The game of "snatching food from the tiger's mouth" is indeed new to the vampires. Their general practice is that no matter whether you are a tiger, leopard or wolf, you are food to the vampires, but you cannot hurt the food when you snatch it from its mouth. They have never tried it before.
Everyone nodded. Yuri's intention was self-evident, so no one pointed it out. They just agreed and quickly disappeared from the street corner. After a while, they arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Jing Yan put down the blood blade and said, "Look at you, you're holding me back."
Jing Yan, carrying the bloody blade, was the last to arrive.
Xue Ren wanted to retort, but felt that there was nothing to refute. Although he resisted the first embrace, it was something he had to do, otherwise he would not only hold Jing Yan back.
Seeing Xue Ren's serious expression, Jing Yan slapped him on the shoulder with a smile, "I was just kidding. You really haven't changed at all."
Jing Yan had forgotten that Xue Ren was just an ordinary person. He felt a bit overwhelmed by the slap, stumbling a few times and nearly falling. He had intended to lighten the mood, but it only made things more awkward. He scratched his head sheepishly.
Xue Ren's expression remained unchanged, leaving no one to guess his current mood...
When going to the jungle to "play", it was naturally Yinzhan who brought Mu Yaxi, and Jing Yan could only continue to bring Xue Ren.
It was a game, but it was just to fill their stomachs. Everyone finished the game quickly, and after filling their stomachs, they gathered at where Luo Youyou was.
The strong scent of Mansa Zhuhua on Luo Youyou can be clearly distinguished even in this dense jungle, allowing everyone to find the location accurately.
The dark sky was dotted with only a few dim stars, which seemed reluctant to appear, making the forest look particularly eerie. From time to time, strange screams could be heard, piercing the sky and making the forest even more eerie at night.
A few people found a slightly flat piece of grass and sat down. Youying wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Then, there was only the sound of clothes rubbing against each other. The roaring in the forest made this place even quieter, but no one spoke, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
Yueshen Xun leaned diagonally on the maid's back, half-sitting lazily, with her long legs spread out, but she felt as if her center of gravity was a little unstable, so she bent one leg to make herself sit more steadily, but it made her look extremely charming at the moment.
"So, is that person Luo Yun? I have never seen her, who knows if she was so vicious before." Yue Shenxun clasped her arms across her chest, slightly closed her eyes, bathed in the faint moonlight, breaking the damn silence.
Mu Yaxi glared at her fiercely. Although she had never met Luo Yun before and didn't know what her temperament was like, she was Luo Youyou's mother after all. She found these words irritating, "This is definitely not the real Luo Yun."
"Could it be that the body she used still contains the soul and consciousness of the original owner?" Jing Yan suddenly asked.
Luo Youyou pondered for a moment. This reason seemed to make sense. Luo Yun was indeed like her, yet not quite like her. It was as if the original Luo Yun had suddenly gained a bit of someone else's consciousness, and the two of them had merged.
Everyone looked at Xue Ren in unison, their eyes seemed to be asking, is this possible?
Xue Ren woke up from his daze, his previous train of thought was interrupted. He was stunned for a few seconds and shook his head. Anyway, he didn't feel any other souls at all. This body was completely occupied by his own soul and consciousness.
Jing Yan slapped his forehead, "How could I forget!"
