QWAPMP Chapter 14
by VolareThe deep, magnetic voice was the beginning of Kesi’s nightmare. His previously angry and pained expression suddenly turned panicked.
Because his current predicament was indirectly caused by the owner of this voice.
If he had been the one to receive the First Embrace back then, he wouldn’t be in such a sorry state now.
Kesi regretted it greatly. He regretted biting that old woman seven years ago; otherwise, he wouldn’t be hunted by that crazy kid.
That night seven years ago, Kesi’s eyes after killing someone left a deep impression on Chen Ran.
After Chen Ran became a vampire, he spent every moment searching for this murderer.
When Chen Ran first found him, he intended to kill him directly.
Later, he recalled Nan Ni’s mother’s pained voice and Nan Ni’s hateful eyes back then, and Chen Ran changed his mind.
He beat Kesi until he was half-dead, then deliberately let him go.
Later, he intentionally found him again, beat him up once more, and then deliberately let him escape again.
Days like these passed year after year. Kesi was so afraid of being beaten by Chen Ran that he wanted to hide in the Poison Mist Forest. However, he didn’t expect to encounter the man he feared here.
“G-great…great lord.” Kesi’s voice trembled, his knees went weak, and he knelt at Yan Ye’s feet.
Yan Ye could feel the person at his feet shaking. He feared him, was scared of him, yet hoped that he could bestow something upon him.
Not everyone was worthy of a vampire’s First Embrace. Even Anna, on the surface, it seemed Yan Ye woke up because his blood was awakened by hers, but she merely received a drop of Yan Ye’s blood to be transformed into a vampire.
Mr. Kesi! Yan Ye lowered his eyes to look at him. This was truly a troublesome existence.
Kesi missed the impatience in his eyes and desperately kowtowed to Yan Ye, begging him to save him.
What kind of person was the vampire before him? Perhaps he didn’t know before, but after becoming a vampire, Kesi clearly understood the status of the person before him within the blood clan.
“Great lord, please, on account of me having awakened you, save me!” Kesi cried out hoarsely.
Yan Ye remained indifferent, watching him quietly.
After his voice stopped and he looked up, Yan Ye finally parted his lips slightly and shook his head, “Mr. Kesi.”
Yan Ye’s voice paused slightly, giving a sense of hope, “The Poison Mist Forest is a very good sanctuary. Perhaps it can help you resolve your current predicament!”
Poison Mist Forest. That was where Kesi originally intended to go. Although the poisonous mist there was dangerous, it wasn’t as dangerous as being hunted by two vampires.
Kesi hesitated for two seconds, then suddenly got up, muttering to himself, “Poison Mist Forest, okay, I’ll go to the Poison Mist Forest. It will be safe there.”
He came staggering and left in a panic, as if he couldn’t wait, or as if being chased by someone.
Yan Ye lowered his eyes, the corner of his lips slightly raised. He believed that Kesi would soon encounter the female lead and her companions.
The Poison Mist Forest was indeed a sanctuary, but the prerequisite was that Kesi didn’t encounter the hunting team leaving the Poison Mist Forest on his way!
Although the female lead still didn’t know that Kesi was the murderer of her mother, given Nan Ni’s hatred for vampires now, she would personally kill Kesi.
It could be considered revenge!
After Kesi left, the lingering smell of blood in the tavern dissipated considerably.
The scared guests didn’t return, and the tavern owner didn’t know which corner he was hiding in.
As dusk approached, with the sunset hanging halfway across the sky, a team of people slowly appeared in the town.
The town was sparsely populated, and there was only one tavern for rest.
“It’s getting dark, why don’t we rest here for the night,” a man shouted loudly to the people behind him, then looked at the woman beside him, his voice slightly more respectful, “Captain…”
He didn’t finish his sentence before the woman called captain nodded and led the way inside.
Song Xiao, who was originally following Nan Ni, stopped the second he lifted his foot to enter.
He blinked strangely, his lips moved, “So fast?”
“What?” Nan Ni turned back, not having heard what Song Xiao said clearly.
Song Xiao didn’t explain what he had just said, but looked straight past her at the person inside.
Nan Ni followed his gaze and looked back.
Only then did she notice a man.
His appearance seemed familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.
Nan Ni thought for about three seconds, and some past memories flooded into her mind.
She remembered who this man was.
Song Xiao bent his eyes. Seeing Nan Ni’s emotional change from frowning to relaxing, he knew she recognized who this old immortal was.
He then carefully looked at the overturned tables and chairs in the tavern and the faint smell of blood in the air. He knew that something interesting had happened here not long ago.
Although the smell of blood was much fainter, it was very familiar.
It was like… the smell of blood from the vampire Nan Ni killed at noon!
Song Xiao’s eyes changed, and the smile on his lips gradually faded.
If he wasn’t mistaken, that vampire from noon had appeared here!
There were two bloodstains in the shape of handprints on the ground in front of the seat where the old immortal was sitting.
It looked like someone had used their hands to support themselves on the ground, and then… kowtowed!
Thinking this way, it was very possible that the person had been kowtowing, and specifically to the old immortal.
The old immortal knew his whereabouts. Thinking of that bat, Song Xiao also understood that Yan Ye knew he was with Nan Ni.
So, he deliberately let that vampire go and then let Nan Ni personally kill that vampire, all for the sake of letting Nan Ni personally get revenge.
Figuring all this out, Song Xiao sneered in his heart. This old immortal was truly shameless. He already kept so many women in the castle and still wanted Nan Ni!
Song Xiao thought that the purpose of Yan Ye doing all this was because he liked Nan Ni and wanted to win Nan Ni’s heart.
“Long time no see, Mr. Yan?” Nan Ni said indifferently, picked up a chair from the ground, and sat down in front of him!
Yan Ye was not surprised by the sudden change in the female lead’s address for him and returned a slight smile, “Miss Nan Ni.”
Song Xiao followed in unhurriedly, also picked up a chair, sat down right next to Nan Ni, then forced a smile, keeping the same address, “Brother Yan, why are you here?”
Seeing him ask the question she wanted to ask, Nan Ni didn’t speak again, but sat quietly.
The other team members saw that their captain had encountered someone she knew again and sat down obediently to rest in other places.
Only one man stared over here with a very unfriendly gaze.
Song Xiao’s attention was on Yan Ye at this moment and he didn’t notice him.
“You should be the one to ask?” Yan Ye looked at him with a half-smile, kicking the question back.
Nan Ni frowned slightly, seeming to be thinking about something!
Song Xiao’s smile froze for a moment, not expecting Yan Ye to say that.
“If you hadn’t suddenly left, would I be here?” Yan Ye seemingly explained.
This explanation instantly darkened Song Xiao’s face.
Did he leave suddenly?
No, he was thrown out by this old immortal.
And now he was saying this in front of Nan Ni.
It was clearly digging a pit for himself.
Song Xiao naturally couldn’t tell Nan Ni the truth. He glared at Yan Ye for a few seconds before turning his gaze away, gritting his teeth and saying, “It wasn’t that I heard our benefactor was in the Poison Mist Forest, and I was anxious to see them, so I forgot to tell you.”
“Oh…!” Yan Ye let out a long “oh,” his voice full of profound meaning, with unspoken words.
Song Xiao was too lazy to say more, afraid that Yan Ye would dig another pit for him. After speaking, he immediately lowered his head and picked up a cup to pour tea and drink it.
This pot of tea had been there for a while, and the tea water was cold.
Song Xiao took only one sip and pouted in distaste.
Just as he was about to put down the teacup, he noticed that all the tea sets on the table were placed upside down. Only the one he had just used to pour tea was placed normally!
In other words, someone had used this cup to drink tea.
Thinking about who was sitting at this table now, Song Xiao quietly raised his eyes to look at the man sitting opposite him.
His eyes unconsciously stared at his pale lips, and the finger holding the cup rubbed the handle bit by bit. Song Xiao’s pouting turned into a suppressed smile.
Although the smile was just a tiny bit, it was still noticed.
Yan Ye had originally noticed the male supporting character’s sneaky glance just now and wanted to see what he was looking at. By chance, he caught a glimpse of the male supporting character stealing a smile.
Seeing that neither of them were speaking anymore, Nan Ni’s clear voice rang out, “So, Mr. Yan, were you two together all this time?”
Nan Ni asked this question as if she was probing something.
Yan Ye’s eyes were still on the male supporting character, but his voice was explaining to Nan Ni, “No, we only recently met.”
“Oh, that’s quite a coincidence,” Nan Ni said as if sighing.
Yan Ye knew she was suspicious, “It is quite a coincidence. Half a month ago, this young brother suddenly got injured and fell at my doorstep, and I just happened to save him.”
These words were half-true and half-false, depending on how the listener interpreted them.
It was true that Song Xiao was injured and fell outside his Castle, but it wasn’t the first time they had met.
Nan Ni didn’t question this statement, but looked at the person quietly drinking tea.
Song Xiao, “…” This old immortal was very annoying. Couldn’t he just speak properly? He always had to drag him into trouble.
Song Xiao’s face wore a fake smile, while in his heart he was trying to find a reason for his injury.
“Yes, if it weren’t for Brother Yan saving me, I might have been killed by a vampire!” A flash of inspiration struck Song Xiao, and he said with a smile. He emphasized “vampire”, clearly referring to the person before him.
Unfortunately, Yan Ye was currently disguised as a human. No matter how powerful Nan Ni became, as long as Yan Ye didn’t want people to discover his vampire identity, Nan Ni wouldn’t be able to find out.
As soon as she heard “vampire,” Nan Ni became alert, “Where did you find the vampire? How did you escape?”
It was almost impossible for an ordinary person to escape from a vampire.
Song Xiao looked at Yan Ye with ill intent, thinking, you dig a pit for me, and I’ll dig one for you too.
“I don’t know either. I had lost too much blood and was dizzy then. I thought I was dead for sure, but I didn’t expect to wake up in his house.”
This question was like a ball being kicked back and forth, now kicked back to Yan Ye.
Yan Ye had no intention of taking it, and said calmly, “That morning, when I opened the door, I found you at my doorstep.”
Nan Ni frowned, finding their reunion a bit strange, “You said you were hunted by a vampire? What did the vampire who attacked you look like?”
Nan Ni asked the last question as if she was suspicious of something.
Song Xiao didn’t notice this point, but Yan Ye noticed it first. He raised his eyes and glanced at her. Was the female lead suspecting that the vampire who attacked Song Xiao was Chen Ran?
Because in Nan Ni’s eyes, Song Xiao was just an ordinary person, so how could he be easily saved?
Unless that vampire deliberately let him go!
