QWAPMP Chapter 4
by VolareChapter Four Werewolf Male Supporting Character
Yan Ye also went out to find his so-called friend in the Slums because of the lie he told yesterday. Of course, he didn’t really have any friends here. Going out now was also to prevent the female lead Nan Ni from getting suspicious.
The streets during the day were much livelier than when he came last night. The shops on the street were opening one after another and starting business.
Just as Yan Ye reached the alley entrance where he met the male lead last night, he saw a few shifty-eyed rascals.
“Boss, it’s that kid from last night.” One of the smoking rascals heard footsteps, raised his head, and recognized the person they lost track of last night at a glance.
Yan Ye’s gaze met the rascal’s for a second, and he also admired his memory for being able to recognize him so quickly.
The man called boss turned around, “You little brat, we finally caught you.”
People were passing by outside the alley during the day, but upon seeing the scene inside, not a single person dared to stop. People seemed to choose to mind their own business and stay out of trouble. Some didn’t even stop to take a look.
The back door of the Small Restaurant that had been opened once last night was not open this time. Yan Ye’s fingers hanging at his side twitched.
As one of the rascals came forward aggressively, he formed his fingers into claws, grabbed the man’s neck without hesitation, and used his arm to lift him up.
Seeing this, the other rascals picked up their weapons and came towards him.
No one noticed that something was wrong. In the human area, it was not suitable for killing during the day. Yan Ye didn’t want to be targeted by the Hunter’s Guild before his mission was completed.
Just as the rascal was about to roll his eyes, he loosened his fingers, his body flashed, and the people attacking him from the left and right with their weapons ended up hitting each other. Meanwhile, Yan Ye was unharmed, standing aside and watching them make fools of themselves.
“Useless! So many of you can’t even beat him alone!” The man who was just called boss roared angrily, but he himself didn’t have the courage to step forward and fight Yan Ye.
At this moment, someone outside the alley finally dared to stop, looking directly inside.
Song Xiao’s eyes held a hint of ill intent. When Yan Ye noticed him and turned back to meet his gaze, he heard footsteps approaching from far away, heading towards them. The footsteps were uniform, and there was also the sound of swords and daggers colliding with hard objects.
Seeing the smile on Song Xiao’s lips, Yan Ye understood everything. But he didn’t understand how Song Xiao could be so bold, daring to risk himself to attract hunters. Wasn’t he afraid of exposing his own identity? In the eyes of hunters, Vampires and Werewolves were beings that should be killed.
However, when he saw Song Xiao suddenly leave, Yan Ye understood. The other party wanted to lure the hunters over, but didn’t intend to stay here and watch his show.
The footsteps were getting closer, and Yan Ye didn’t intend to let the hunters find him.
In the shocked eyes of the rascals, he moved like a phantom, disappearing from everyone’s sight in the blink of an eye.
When the hunters arrived with their hunting dogs, only the few rascals on the ground, scared out of their wits, remained. The hunting dogs sniffed the scent of the Werewolf in the air and barked vigorously several times.
The leading hunter looked at the rascals with a pensive expression. A team member behind him stepped forward and asked, “Captain, Big Yellow keeps barking, is there a Werewolf among these people?”
Werewolf? All the rascals were not unfamiliar with this term. As soon as they heard that these people dressed like hunters were going to identify them as Werewolves, they shook their heads like rattles.
“No, we’re not Werewolves!” “Sirs, we are humans, truly humans, not Werewolves.” Even though they said this, Big Yellow kept barking relentlessly.
Seeing that it kept trying to break free from the leash, the man holding the leash loosened his grip, and Big Yellow suddenly pounced towards the rascal on the ground whose neck had been grabbed by Yan Ye. It bared its frightening dog teeth, as if it was about to bite. The rascal was so scared by Big Yellow that he peed himself. An unpleasant smell of urine permeated the air.
“Big Yellow, come back.” The hunter captain took out a clean handkerchief, covered his nose, and said with great distaste.
Big Yellow would never bare its teeth at ordinary people. The only ones that could make it act like this were Vampires and Werewolves.
After calling Big Yellow back, the hunter captain looked back at his team members, “Take them all back for interrogation.” “Yes, Captain.” The team member replied respectfully. Upon noticing someone trying to escape, his eyes turned dangerous. A sharp sword blocked the escaping rascal’s path, and he said with a fake smile, “Didn’t you hear what our Captain said?”
The escaping rascal’s legs went soft with fear. He quickly nodded, not daring to have any thoughts of running away again.
Now, Vampire Prince Hill has awakened and is missing. Most of the hunters in the guild are tracking him, and there is already a shortage of manpower. With Werewolves appearing one after another in the Slums, the guild doesn’t have many people available to send over. After a discussion among the guild elders, the guild decided to widely recruit hunters.
Chen Ran got off work and went home, carrying a two-pound fish in his hand.
Nan Ni asked him somewhat strangely, “Where did you get this fish?”
Chen Ran handed her the fish to clean, took a sip of water first, and was in a great mood. “A few rich people came to the restaurant today, and they gave me a little tip, so I thought we’d add an extra dish tonight.”
Nan Ni skillfully cleaned the fish and smiled, “Then I’ll make a fish soup.”
“Okay, whatever you arrange.”
As soon as Song Xiao came out, he saw the two people busy in the kitchen looking intimate. He stood rooted to the spot and smiled silently.
There was a knock on the door. Song Xiao’s smile quickly disappeared, and his gaze became gloomy.
He had already guessed who was knocking outside.
But Chen Ran didn’t know. Just as he came out of the kitchen and was about to open the door, he saw Song Xiao and asked with a smile, “How is your body? Nan Ni made an extra fish soup tonight. Eat more later to replenish your body.”
Song Xiao’s smile returned, and the word “Good” came out.
The door opened, and sure enough, it was that annoying old geezer.
Because Chen Ran had his back to Song Xiao, Song Xiao didn’t hide his dislike for the person at the door and wasn’t worried about being seen.
On the contrary, when Yan Ye saw him, the gentle and amiable smile on his face made him much more pleasant to look at.
“Yan Ye? How did you come back?” Didn’t this person go out to find a friend today? Chen Ran looked at him in confusion.
Yan Ye’s smile paused, and he shook his head, “Haven’t found him yet.”
“Is that so? Come in first, don’t worry, look again tomorrow.” Chen Ran stepped aside to let him in, having no guard against Yan Ye at all.
Yan Ye smiled apologetically, “I’ll have to trouble you for another night tonight.”
“It’s fine, come have dinner with us.” Chen Ran went to help Nan Ni clear the dishes in the kitchen.
As Yan Ye was about to sit down, Song Xiao by the room door also walked towards the kitchen to help.
Yan Ye looked at his retreating back, his lips curved. He knew in his heart that the Male Supporting Character was avoiding him, afraid of retaliation. Was he such a petty person?
Obviously, yes. The next day, when he discovered other hunters appearing in the Slums, Yan Ye led them to Song Xiao, forcing Song Xiao to fight them. In the end, Song Xiao narrowly won with serious injuries, killing two Werewolves and one escaping.
As for him, he sat on a scholartree, accompanying a group of crows to watch this battle of few against many.
Song Xiao’s claws were still dripping blood, and he hadn’t changed back from his Werewolf form. He turned his head, baring his bloody teeth at Yan Ye. Heavily injured, he didn’t have the courage to rush forward and kill the annoying Vampire in front of him. This debt would surely be repaid in the future.
Seeing the person leave stumbling with a look of unwillingness, Yan Ye was in a rather good mood. While it was still early, he returned to the Castle for a trip.
The news of the Prince’s awakening spread within the Blood clan. The servants in the Castle received invitation cards for banquets from the Earls.
“My King, this is Goode Earl’s invitation card. Would you like to see it?” The servant selected an invitation card from a higher-ranked noble and respectfully presented it with both hands.
Before the invitation card was even opened, Yan Ye smelled a faint fragrance mixed with blood. His nose first wrinkled imperceptibly, and only then did he open the invitation card.
After reading the contents, Yan Ye had no interest in the banquet hosted by Goode Earl, and was even less interested in the admiration expressed by the daughter mentioned in the letter.
The letter burned to ashes in his hand, scattering with a gentle breeze.
Seeing this, the servant understood their King’s meaning. Just as he was about to withdraw and leave, he bumped into Little Anna who had come to find Yan Ye.
Little Anna was brought back by the King himself, so the servants respected her much more than the tall man who came to the Castle the same day.
“Miss Anna.” The servant reached out and stopped Anna, who was about to rush in.
Little Anna heard in the garden that the Vampire man who brought her back had returned to the Castle. This time, she rushed over to find him, forgetting her status and manners for a moment.
After being stopped by the servant, she seemed to remember her status, biting her lip and saying nervously, “I want to see your King.”
The servant nodded, bowed respectfully, and said unhurriedly, “Please wait here for a moment, I will go in and announce you.”
Anna agreed. After the servant went in, she became even more nervous.
Even when the servant came out and said the King told her to come in, Anna’s mood still couldn’t relax.
Yan Ye went straight to the point and asked, “You want to see me?”
The low voice carried a hint of gentleness, which gradually reduced the tension in Anna’s heart. She nodded, but did not speak.
Yan Ye stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the setting sun outside. “Since you want to see me, you must have something you want to tell me, right?”
He turned his head slightly and noticed several injuries on Little Anna’s face, his gaze lingering for a moment.
Anna realized the King was looking at her. Immediately thinking of something, she turned her head slightly, her eyes firm. “I want to ask you if there is any way I can become stronger.”
“Why do you want to become stronger?”
“I want revenge, but I can’t beat him!” Anna lowered her head, her eyes filled with hatred.
It seems a lot has happened in the Castle during the two days he was away. Understanding where the injuries on Little Anna’s face came from, Yan Ye didn’t show sympathy. Regarding her desire to become stronger, he did offer a bit of guidance. “He is just an ordinary Vampire, and yet he could defeat you. That is also because you didn’t have the determination to win against him from the beginning.”
Anna raised her head and saw the contempt in the King’s eyes. “Anna, I gave you your blood, so you are not weaker than him.”
