QWAPMP Chapter 19
by VolareIn the Prince’s Castle, Song Xiao arrived uninvited, leaning against the wall, his arms crossed, his gaze fixed on the sorrowful woman sitting alone.
Song Xiao had an impression of this woman, but not a strong one. What he was more curious about now was why Yan Ye brought her back.
Could it be that the old immortal wanted Nan Ni and her mother to reunite?
But don’t forget, their current identities are no longer as simple as mother and daughter.
After so many years, could Nan Ni recognize her mother right away?
The longer Song Xiao thought, the more twisted the smile on his lips became.
He lowered his crossed arms, straightened up, and was about to leave when a low warning sounded in his ear.
“Be honest and behave yourself, or you’ll regret it.”
Yan Ye had been standing there for a while, but the young man’s mind was full of mischief, and he hadn’t noticed his arrival.
Song Xiao felt a little apprehensive about the blood race member before him. The smile on his lips vanished in an instant. He pretended to be calm and met the man’s gaze. In the end, it was Song Xiao who looked away first.
He was a coward. There was no warmth in the man’s bottomless eyes.
Song Xiao could only swallow, suppressing the fear in his heart. When he looked towards the man again, Yan Ye was already walking towards the woman in the garden.
Yan Ye approached, and the woman who was originally sitting immediately stood up and said something to him. Yan Ye nodded slightly and made a gesture to invite her.
The two chatted for a while, and it seemed they had a very pleasant conversation.
Otherwise, that old immortal wouldn’t be smiling so annoyingly.
Song Xiao lowered his eyes, snorted softly, his expression gloomy. He accidentally dug his fingers into the flesh of his palm.
After finishing his chat with Nan Ni’s mother, Yan Ye was not in a hurry to have the female lead meet her.
After all, there were still injuries left by Elina on the other party’s neck. It would be difficult for the female lead to see this and not hate vampires.
And next, it was the male supporting character’s turn. Yan Ye hoped that he would take his words to heart, and ideally remember them, so as not to cause any more trouble.
Song Xiao was never an obedient wolf cub. He was heartless and left the Castle that very night, taking Nan Ni’s mother with him.
In the dark night, the moon was hidden in the clouds, and there was no light in the dense forest.
Song Xiao wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, his eyes filled with wild joy.
Soon, as long as he passed through this forest, he would reach the outskirts of Hibiscus City and be able to disrupt that old immortal’s plan.
Hmph, the old immortal wanted to personally hand this person over to Nan Ni to gain her favor. He wouldn’t let him get what he wanted.
Besides, a human and a vampire, even if they were reunited, how could they get along?
Song Xiao turned his head to look at the unconscious woman at his feet. As he was about to lift her again, a vine broke through the ground and wrapped around his foot. Immediately after, a slender figure appeared not far from him, bathed in moonlight.
Yan Ye had already anticipated that the male supporting character wouldn’t be so obedient, so he had set up some small formations in the forest outside the Castle. It was these formations that delayed Song Xiao. Otherwise, with his speed like fleeing for his life, he would have already entered Hibiscus City.
That would make things a little troublesome, after all, the female lead’s mother was still in Song Xiao’s hands.
“Song Xiao, I was only out for a while, and you just left with my guest without permission. What is the meaning of this?” Yan Ye narrowed his eyes slightly. These words sounded like he was asking, but he wasn’t listening to explanations.
With a slight movement of his finger, a powerful force that others could not resist made the person feel light-bodied and out of control.
“Yan Ye, you want…” Song Xiao didn’t finish his sentence before his body was flipped upside down and hung from the largest tree.
He cried out in surprise. His internal organs felt squeezed, and a mouthful of fresh blood flowed from his mouth.
Song Xiao coughed a few times. While resentful of the man’s lethal intent towards him, his gaze uncontrollably fixated on him.
Seeing him help up the unconscious woman, Song Xiao rarely showed a trace of jealousy.
Why is he so good to her?
And helping her up?
It must be because this woman has a good daughter.
There will be no good outcome between the blood race and humans.
Countless angry thoughts roared in his mind. Song Xiao stared intently at them, ignoring the unclear emotions in his heart.
Chen Ran arrived a little later than Yan Ye. He didn’t have the strength of a Hill Prince and couldn’t appear wherever he thought of instantly.
Seeing that Nan Ni’s mother was fine, Chen Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
If something had happened to her, he would probably be too ashamed to see Nan Ni again!
Looking up at the person hanging upside down from the tree, Chen Ran seemed to remember something, his eyes filled with complex emotions. “So you’re a werewolf.” He clenched his fists and then released them, his voice gritting his teeth.
He didn’t expect that the two people he saved back then were not ordinary people, one was a vampire, and one was a werewolf.
Song Xiao knew that Yan Ye must have told him. He said defeatistly, “What? Regretting saving a werewolf?”
Chen Ran’s body stiffened, then he shook his head.
He had saved this werewolf, but it was undeniable that this werewolf had also saved him the day he became a vampire.
Otherwise, that day, he might have died at the hands of those hunters.
Song Xiao originally wanted to hear him say yes, but instead, he saw him shake his head.
Song Xiao’s mocking gesture stopped. He was stunned for a moment, then muttered to himself, “I’m a werewolf, aren’t you afraid? We are not the same kind.”
Those not of our kind cannot be kept. Kill them, they will only be a Disaster in the future.
This was what Song Xiao often heard in the werewolf and human tribes.
Yan Ye handed Nan Ni’s mother to Chen Ran, leaving only a single sentence, “Go see her.”
Chen Ran seemed to make up his mind and smiled with relief. “Thank you.”
Avoiding things would only put the people he cared about in more dangerous situations. If Yan Ye hadn’t taken Nan Ni’s mother from Elina’s hands, Chen Ran couldn’t imagine what that woman would have done to Nan Ni’s mother.
Fortunately, it was not too late.
Whether there was hate or not, they both needed an explanation.
Watching the male lead’s receding back, Yan Ye felt that the matter had been mostly resolved.
Withdrawing his gaze, Yan Ye slightly raised a finger, and the other end of the vine appeared in his palm.
Song Xiao’s hands were tied, only his legs were free, because…
Yan Ye pulled the vine and said very coldly, “Let’s go.”
Song Xiao’s eyes widened. He still couldn’t recognize that he was at someone’s mercy. “You didn’t untie me, how can I walk?”
Yan Ye glanced at him mercilessly. “Walk with your feet.”
Song Xiao followed reluctantly, walked a few steps, then stopped again.
“Why did you let Chen Ran take her?”
He thought and thought, but couldn’t understand this point. If Chen Ran took Nan Ni’s mother away, how could the old immortal gain Nan Ni’s favor?
Yan Ye tugged at the vine in his hand and kindly offered an explanation, “If Chen Ran doesn’t take her back, how will Nan Ni believe that the events of that year had nothing to do with Chen Ran?”
It’s better to clear up misunderstandings sooner.
However…
Yan Ye’s gaze fell on Song Xiao’s lips, and his finger rested on them.
A warm touch, something vampires didn’t have.
Song Xiao didn’t know what he was going to do, but seeing the man suddenly close the distance and touch his mouth with his finger, his heart seemed to have a problem, pounding wildly.
The man’s fingers were undoubtedly beautiful, fair and slender, making one want to eat them.
Yan Ye didn’t know what he was thinking and said something startling, “It would be great if this mouth couldn’t open.”
Song Xiao froze for a second. His dazed eyes immediately cleared up. He opened his mouth and bit down on Yan Ye’s finger.
Want him to be unable to speak? He’d bite off the old immortal’s finger first.
The bite drew blood. Yan Ye’s eyes narrowed again. “You don’t want your teeth anymore? I can help you.”
Song Xiao “…”
Imagining himself without teeth, Song Xiao, who could bend and stretch, spat out the finger and even licked off that drop of blood.
Werewolves’ craving for blood is not as strong as that of the blood race, so he didn’t know that the few drops of blood he accidentally swallowed were what many blood race members dreamed of.
Yan Ye occasionally looked back at the obedient wolf cub following behind him, slowly giving up the idea of making him mute.
Forget it, it’s better to keep him under his nose.
As it turned out, the little wolf cub was very good at causing trouble. A month after returning to the Castle, he did something big. On a dark and stormy night, he snuck into Yan Ye’s room and used blood to lure Yan Ye… causing him to tuck his tail between his legs like a wolf afterwards.
Seeing Yan Ye’s expression grow colder day by day, keeping people at a distance, Song Xiao didn’t dare to talk to him.
One day, guests came to the Castle. They were humans, which was very rare. The Blood Thralls were very curious and couldn’t help but whisper among themselves while working.
Nan Ni’s complexion had more vitality than when she was last seen, as if she had returned to her original state.
“Your Highness, thank you.” Nan Ni held Chen Ran’s hand and looked at him gratefully.
Chen Ran’s explanation might have been hard for Nan Ni to believe, but combined with what her own mother said, the misunderstanding was easy to clear up.
Vampires were both good and bad. Nan Ni didn’t leave the Hunter’s Guild. She would still hunt vampires who preyed on humans.
Chen Ran and her mother were special existences to her.
Learning from the servants that there were humans in the Castle, Song Xiao secretly hid and watched. Seeing Yan Ye chatting happily with Chen Ran and the others, Song Xiao pouted and hid again.
When Nan Ni left, she hesitated for a moment, then took out a Dagger and said, “This was given to me by the Guild. I heard a nun used it to stab a Prince.”
The Hunter’s Guild had a legend about this Dagger. Yan Ye had heard of the legend, but the Prince in the legend was just a fake. The other party was just an unnamed vampire, not even qualified to be called part of the blood race.
Yan Ye took Nan Ni’s Dagger, understanding what she was doing, and accepted her thank you gift.
Seeing him take the Dagger, Nan Ni smiled and said goodbye.
The carriage slowly drove away from the Castle. Nan Ni pondered for a long time, but still looked back at the Castle behind the carriage.
Why was Hill Prince’s expression so calm after seeing the Dagger?
Nan Ni felt it shouldn’t be. Before she could figure it out, an arm wrapped around her shoulder.
“What are you thinking about?” Chen Ran asked softly, pulling her into his arms.
Nan Ni leaned against him and expressed her confusion, including the story of the Dagger.
Chen Ran’s eyes were tinged with confusion, then he thought of the other party’s identity, shook his head, and smiled. “Whether this Dagger really killed Yan Ye or not, you’ve already given the Dagger to Yan Ye.”
Nan Ni hummed softly and closed her eyes to rest.
The carriage left the Castle and disappeared. Only then did the person standing at the highest point of the Castle withdraw his gaze.
The male and female leads’ misunderstanding was cleared. The Book of Reincarnation wrote a happy ending for the two of them and finally landed in Yan Ye’s hand. This also indicated that his mission in this world was completed and he could leave at any time.
Putting away the Book of Reincarnation, Yan Ye rubbed his temples and went back to settle the servants in the Castle.
Once he left this world, this body would fall into a deep sleep again, with no possibility of ever waking up.
Yan Ye asked a maid to call everyone in the Castle and told them that he would fall into a deep sleep again, possibly for hundreds or thousands of years before waking up, and let them choose to leave or continue guarding the Castle.
The result was expected. Almost all the servants chose to stay in the Castle, waiting for their King to awaken again.
The moment the luxurious sarcophagus was about to be closed, a hand suddenly appeared and stopped the lid.
Yan Ye lay inside the sarcophagus, opened his eyes, and looked at the little wolf cub who finally had the courage to appear before him.
When he lay in the sarcophagus, he had already noticed a living presence in the room.
This aura was exactly the same as the one he smelled that night.
Yan Ye felt amused in his heart. He didn’t understand why the male supporting character was afraid of him but still came to find him.
He originally wanted to pretend he didn’t know and just leave.
“Something wrong?” His voice was cold and devoid of any emotion, not even a hint of attachment or reluctance.
Song Xiao’s eyes were red. He had spent a day being angry and thinking.
He couldn’t understand why the old immortal was going to sleep, what it had to do with him, and why he felt panicked.
Seeing that the person was already lying in that broken coffin, Song Xiao finally couldn’t hold back. He used his hand to block the coffin lid and said through gritted teeth, “You can’t sleep now.”
The lifespan of the blood race was incomparable to that of werewolves. They could wake up again after a hundred, hundreds, or thousands of years, but werewolves could not.
Thinking that if this old immortal went to sleep like this, they might never see each other again, Song Xiao just felt afraid.
His fingers were trembling. “If you dare to sleep now, I’ll kill Nan Ni.”
Yan Ye’s indifferent eyes darkened. As expected, he was a vicious male supporting character, with a malicious heart, unable to see others doing well.
Song Xiao thought his threat was effective and managed a forced smile.
Yan Ye sat up straight, reached out and pulled, pulling the person into the coffin, then got up himself and warned coldly, “You dare to target Nan Ni, aren’t you afraid of me?”
Song Xiao lay down generously in the spot where Yan Ye had been lying, his smile pathetic. “I’m afraid, yes. So as long as you’re here, Nan Ni won’t die. If you dare to fall into a deep sleep, then no one can stop me from killing Nan Ni.”
Yan Ye turned back and looked at him without saying a word, then suddenly pulled his hair forcefully.
Song Xiao was forced to tilt his head up and look at him like this.
They were calm eyes, not filled with the anger he had imagined.
Song Xiao was both angry and unwilling. He had threatened to kill the woman he liked, so why could this man still be so calm?
A stubborn gaze flashed with a hint of hesitation. Song Xiao strained his neck upward, and a kiss landed on Yan Ye’s lips.
He had just seen a look of exasperated anger on Yan Ye’s face, but the next second he was pushed away, followed by a wave of darkness that enveloped him.
He had been shut inside the coffin by Yan Ye.
Song Xiao licked his lips in the dark space and snorted with a laugh.
Because of the male supporting character’s threat, Yan Ye waited eighty years before leaving this world.
That was the day the male supporting character’s lifespan reached its end. He was about to die, yet he still threatened Yan Ye, demanding that Yan Ye share the coffin with him.
While Song Xiao was racking his brain for ways to threaten him, Yan Ye simply said yes and shared half with him.
Lying in the coffin, Song Xiao smiled sincerely in his final moments. “Old immortal, why didn’t you kill me?”
Yan Ye held the lifeless body and shielded it in his arms.
With the coffin lid closed, the whole world turned black.
He never answered the male supporting character’s question in the end, because even if he did, the little wolf cub wouldn’t be able to hear it.
When Anna learned that Hill Prince had not left his room for a long time, her anxiety drove her to the brink of madness. Her eyes turned crimson, and she burst into the Prince’s room despite the servants’ attempts to stop her. Seeing the tightly closed coffin, Anna roared, “Song Xiao? Where did that werewolf go?”
The servants were somewhat afraid of the frantic Anna and shook their heads one after another.
Anna’s eyes showed unwillingness. “I finally waited until you were going to die, why did the adult still choose you?”
Having fought with Song Xiao for eighty years, Anna’s biggest hope was the day Song Xiao died. As long as he died, the adult’s gaze would no longer linger on him.
Anna ran out of the Castle in a daze. Every year after that, she would return to see if the coffin had opened again, but each time she left disappointed.
Back in the bookstore, Yan Ye clutched a strand of golden silk in his hand. Before he could examine it closely, it melted into his body.
[Author’s Note]: This world is finished. Guess if Yan Ye has fallen in love with the little wolf cub now. The next world will be tomorrow. ^0^
