Chapter 244: Legend of the Blood Clan (28)
Finally, Shi Qi decided to be more generous and settle the score with the child later.
When they went upstairs with the room cards, Shi Qi was in front and Wen Liang was behind.
Due to his own vigilance and the vampire's sensitivity to the outside world, Shi Qi felt that the silence of the hotel was a little eerie with every step he took.
Logically speaking, even for a high-level vampire like her, it is impossible to avoid sound 100%.
If the house is full, how can there be no sound?
Thinking of the boss lady's gorgeous and noble outfit, as well as the slight smell of damp and rot between the floor boards, Shi Qi vaguely guessed something and walked more slowly and carefully.
Could there be something in here...that is beyond their understanding?
I don’t know if they both noticed something strange tacitly, or if Wen Liang was really upset with her, but neither of them spoke a word along the way.
Soon, Shi Qi looked around in the dim light and opened the door at the end of the corridor.
Wen Liang just closed the door gently while holding the quilt, and then spoke softly: "This place is a little weird, you sleep on the bed at night, I will be closer to you, call me if there is any unusual movement."
Shi Qi looked at the simple decorations around him and the gorgeous wallpaper that didn't match them, and asked slowly, "What do you think is strange?"
Wen Liang gently swept the slightly dusty floor and spread out the bedding: "You said that the west district is relatively poor. Since it is poor, the decoration should be of the same style. This exquisite wallpaper and the noble lady boss downstairs are out of place here."
"Well, it's like a temporary site, but I don't know what's really going on here." Wen Liang spread the quilt and added.
Shi Qi nodded, and felt warm in his heart when he saw Wen Liang analyzing seriously and busying himself.
"You're right, I think so too, but other than that, don't you feel that it's...particularly quiet here?" Shi Qi sat on the bed, looked up and asked in confusion.
Wen Liang paused, turned around, and looked a little serious: "You... think it's quiet here?"
"Yes, we vampires are very sensitive to sounds, don't you know? And... your expression is so serious, what does it mean?" Shi Qi noticed that something was wrong with Wen Liang and asked.
Wen Liang whispered: "I felt it was very noisy when I first got here. Sometimes there were growls and shouts, but the strange thing is that you...didn't hear anything."
"Growling? Could it be... a fallen vampire? No, I can sense fallen vampires. Wen Liang, can you tell me specifically... what sound or conversation you heard?" Shi Qi concentrated.
"There was no conversation, only faint roars, a bit chaotic and noisy. If you didn't hear it, it might be a new species that can restrain vampires? That's why I asked you to be careful so as not to drag me down." Wen Liang said lightly. He looked disdainful, but his body was honestly tidying up Shi Qi's bedding.
"That's exactly what I thought. It seems I can't get a good rest tonight." Shi Qi waited for Wen Liang to tidy up, closed the windows and waited, then he exhaled lightly and lay on his side on the bed.
Shi Qi's brain was working quickly.
If it is really like what Wen Liang said, this is a station, there is a species that can restrain her, and the proprietress is a vampire. Then... what unknown activities are going on here?
If there is a clan that really wants to restrain the vampires, it must be... the vampires themselves.
Because only vampires understand the functions of vampires best.
Although she is not afraid of these, she has to protect not only herself, but also her people.
Is it an ordinary vampire inn or a research site for mysterious species?
The answer may be known tonight.
Thinking so much now...it's really a waste of her limited intelligence.
Shi Qi emptied his mind and stopped thinking about it.
After a while, the two of them lay down and ignored each other.
For a moment, the room was quiet. There were only two people left, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"You...believe what I say? What if I lie to you?" Wen Liang suddenly said something, breaking the deadlock.
"Hmm? Do you mean the matter of you hearing a sound?" Shi Qi asked indifferently.
"Ah."
"There is no reason. If you are not stupid, you would not lie to me at this time. It is not good for you either." Shi Qi rested his arm on the side with clear eyes.
"Besides, I trust my instincts, and I trust you."
Shi Qi said lightly.
Actually, she still didn't really believe it. After all, the child was hostile to her.
It was just that Tutu told her that she should learn to make big promises to men and coax them, and she said so.
After all... you have to make the children happy.
In the dim light, Wen Liang couldn't see the woman's expression, but he had to admit that Shi Qi's words made him feel a little warm.
"Bang~Bang~"
It seemed like this was the first time in a long time that someone said they believed in him.
It's really... quite amazing.
But, this damn heart…why is it beating so fast!
"Well, as a queen, it's not good for you to trust people too easily." Wen Liang turned around with a guilty conscience.
"I don't believe everyone, it's just because it's you."
Shi Qi: Hiss, even though it’s corny, I hope this pancake can make the kids like her a little more.
Wen Liang's body stiffened: "We're already outside, there's no need to act anymore."
It's strangely heart-warming.
However, all that responded to him for a long time was silence.
Wen Liang got up and looked at the bed, only to find that Shi Qi was already asleep.
"You say you won't sleep, but you're actually showing off." Wen Liang said as he tucked in the quilt for Shi Qi.
"It's unusual for a vampire like you to sleep at night."
The silvery moonlight came through the window at some point and poured gracefully onto the girl's face.
The facial features that were charming and cold during the day were now much softer and more elegant, and the flesh on both sides of her cheeks was as tender and white as jade, and looked very easy to pinch.
As if by magic, Wen Liang's hand, which had tucked in the quilt, gently fell on Shi Qi's cheek.
The moment the soft and delicate touch fell on his palm, Wen Liang woke up instantly, quickly put his hand away, lay back on his mattress like a thief, and quickly covered himself with the quilt.
Inside the quilt, the sound of someone's heartbeat was beating steadily in the darkness.
Wen Liang: Damn it, how long will this backlash last...
If the backlash continues like this, will he still... be willing to remove her blood mark?
Shaking his head, Wen Liang tried to stay awake and listened alertly to any unusual movements in the hotel.
Just consider it as repaying her favor. If there is any unusual movement, he will protect her well tonight.
……
"What? You said you're going to the vampire clan now?"
The man's shocked and incredulous voice rang out in the room, and it was not difficult to hear that there was also some joy in him.
Ling Li raised his eyes and answered again: "Yes, Elder. I will try my best to get the blood seal and give it to you. I also hope that you can really use the blood seal to protect the safety of the human race."
"Okay, okay, Ling Li, I...your father was right about you. Tell me, what do you want? Your father will satisfy you!" The man was so surprised that he even changed the name he had never used before.
Ling Li paused: "Elder, Ling Li does have something he wants."
"you say!"
"After this is accomplished, I will sever all ties with the Ding family and start a new life with Xiaoyu." Ling Li said calmly.
The man was stunned, a trace of calculation flashed in his eyes, without any reluctance: "It's... that simple? Just like that?"
Anyway, severing ties with Ling Li would do him no harm, it would just be one less chess piece.
"Well. There is still hope... Take good care of Xiaoyu while I'm away." Ling Li said.
"Of course. But how do you...get into the castle?" the man nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, Elder. Ling Li has his own way. If there is no problem, I will leave tomorrow. It's getting late, so I won't bother you."
"Okay, okay, be careful and bring enough people with you." The man was delighted and agreed readily.
When Ling Li came out, he saw Lan Xiao waiting.
"Why don't you go back first?"
"I just coaxed Xiaoyu to sleep, and I was worried that there might be problems with you, so I came here. How is it, is everything going well?" Lan Xiao said with a smile.
"Well. But...how do you know that Shi Qi is in the west district of the city now?" Ling Li asked curiously.
"Ah? This..."
"Hehe...don't ask. The only thing I'm asking is the telepathy between beautiful women." Lan Xiao explained, touching his head.
"Haha, you're quite humorous." Ling Li laughed, his eyes gradually becoming deeper and clearer as he looked at Lan Xiao.
Lan Xiao, you appeared out of nowhere, what's your secret?
Maybe you really are the clue for me to break out of this world?
The two walked side by side, the scene was beautiful and peaceful.
