Chapter 302 Exposing Small Tactics
Chu Tiankuo’s eyes were filled with fierce. Tang Xia subconsciously dodged his eyes. Suddenly, she felt like it was something that did not need to be concealed. Hence, she nodded at him openly. “You guessed it.”
Although Chu Tiankuo already had the answer in his heart, at the moment when Tang Xia said it herself, he still could not contain his anger.
Tang Xia suddenly felt a dizzy spell and Chu Tiankuo had forced her up against a wall. She rubbed her back in pain and looked at him in a displeased manner, saying unpleasantly, “What are you doing! Are you crazy!”
“Yes! I’m crazy! I’m crazy to fall in love with you! I know very well that you and I are from two different worlds, but yet I still chose to dive straight into a burning fire. I willingly leaned towards your side, I’m willing to be condemned by everyone…”
Listening to Chu Tiankuo suddenly expressing his affections for her so agitatedly, Tang Xia just stood there completely stunned. She felt like her brain had malfunctioned.
By the time he finished, Tang Xia was still in a daze. Feeling annoyed, Chu Tiankuo punched the wall directly. Tang Xia was frightened. She snapped back from her thoughts instantly and turned to look at his fist.
Seeing that blood was slowly dripping from his fist. Tang Xia’s heart dropped and she quickly pulled his hand over and held it in hers. “Even if you’re an immortal you shouldn’t torture yourself like this!”
Seeing how anxious she was, Chu Tiankuo’s expression finally thawed. He smoothened out his brows and continued speaking in a serious tone, “Ye Yifan cannot stay. I won’t have him staying by your side.”
After saying that, he pulled his fist away and planned to walk away. Tang Xia quickly grabbed his arm and looked at him in confusion.
“What are you going to do?” Tang Xia could not let him lose his temper anymore. This was not affecting just her alone.
Hearing the alertness in her tone, Chu Tiankuo frowned again. However, he could not bring himself to swing her hand away. The duo stood still like that in the alley.
“Ye Yifan is useless by your side. In terms of ability, brain, or love for you, how is he better than me? I’m going to kick him out of the game now. You only need me by your side, you don’t need this useless piece of crap.”
Without waiting for Tang Xia to react, he prepared to walk away.
Tang Xia was startled and she quickly used a lot of effort to grab hold of him. She said anxiously, “Chu Tiankuo, stop acting like a child. Do you think you can kick him out as you wish? Do you know what are the consequences?”
When Chu Tiankuo heard that she said he was acting like a child, he glared at her angrily.
Looking at how he was acting right now, Tang Xia’s heart also swelled with anger. She was not going to back down and also glared back angrily. She reprimanded, “You said and promised me that you won’t interfere in my affairs anymore. You can’t go back on your words!”
Chu Tiankuo instantly regretted being stupid and promising her something like that. He finally flung her hand away and turned to leave without saying anything. Otherwise, he would really die on the spot from being triggered by her.
Tang Xia looked at his back view. In her heart, she was certain that he would not think about kicking Ye Yifan out of the game anymore.
Her heart tightened immediately. Since when did she understand him so well? She quickly shook her head and patted her burning cheeks. “Stop overthinking!” While saying so, she also returned to the castle.
Upon entering the castle, she stopped walking suddenly, as if she had remembered something. She then turned around, pretended nothing had happened and returned to her room.
Just when she was about to reach her room, she suddenly looked around and confirmed that nobody was watching around her.
Then, she sneaked towards Jiang Yu’s room. When she bumped into the guard along the way, she quickly hid. Although she knew Jiang Yu and War King was dead,
the war between the Elders and the new-born vampires was still not over. She did not dare to find Jiang Yu so openly. Otherwise, this would pose as a problem for both her and Jiang Yu.
She knocked on Jiang Yu’s door gently. Jiang Yu, who was reading a book in her room, froze immediately. She almost thought that she was hallucinating. When she went to open the door, she realized it was Tang Xia and quickly let her in.
Jiang Yu asked in surprise, “Why did you think of coming over?” Suddenly, something came to mind and she said in a displeased tone, “Why? You’re going to ask something again?”
Tang Xia froze and grabbed Jiang Yu’s arm for a while, asking in shock, “How did you know? I really have something to ask you!” Jiang Yu could not help but roll her eyes, her gaze seemingly saying, “I knew it.”
“Can’t you just say that you missed me and came just to see me?”
Jiang Yu looked outside and closed the door after ensuring that there was no one else.Read More chapter on vi pnovel. com
Tang Xia laughed and sat on the sofa that was placed at a side. She flipped through the book that Jiang Yu was reading and sighed helplessly.
“Come on…okay, enough joke, I’m here for serious matters.” Looking at Tang Xia’s serious look, Jiang Yu knew that it was something serious, as she had taken high risk to come here.
She then subconsciously straightened her back and listened to Tang Xia narrate everything that had happened in the downtown area.
Jiang Yu could not help but be a little shocked. She looked Tang Xia carefully from head to toe and Tang Xia asked in confusion, “Right now, I just want to know why I’m suddenly so bloodthirsty.”
“Li Xianxian said that I was most likely more bloodthirsty because the vampire who bit me was like that.”
Jiang Yu caressed her chin and thought for a moment. Suddenly, she nodded. “Yes, what she said is indeed possible, just like Katherine. She also inherited the competitiveness of War King. It’s not strange when you think about it.”
However, Tang Xia was a little anxious. She said with a tint of desperation, “But I wasn’t like this when I first turned into a vampire.”
“I had suppressed it for three days with my self-control and I was not dominated by the hunger in my body. Why did it suddenly become like this?”
Suddenly, Jiang Yu felt that what she said was not unreasonable too and her brows furrowed tightly. She sank deep into thinking before turning around and saying solemnly,Read More chapter on vi pnovel. com
“That being the case, it seems that there are two possibilities. One is that the bloodthirsty trait has always hidden in your body. The other … I’m afraid only Li Xianxian knows.”
Tang Xia froze slightly and then lowered her head to ponder about it for a moment. Then, she directed a firm gaze to Jiang Yu. It was clear that Jiang Yu and Tang Xia were thinking about the same thing.
The two nodded at each other without saying a word. This tacit understanding developed over the previous broadcasts caused them to smile when they met each other in the eyes.
Once again, the duo secretly sneaked into Li Xianxian’s room. Since it was among the Elders’ rooms, it was not far away. Coincidentally, Li Xianxian was not in her room.
Tang Xia learnt how to open locks through the previous broadcasts. Although she had already forgotten it, she still remembered it. After hearing a click, the door opened.
Jiang Yu would like to compliment on her skill, but it was not the right time. The duo sneaked in and gently closed the door behind them.
Tang Xia pointed to the other side, directing her to check over there while she would handle the other side. Jiang Yu nodded and the duo split up their work.
However, no matter how much they looked around, they could not find anything abnormal. Tang Xia could not help but feel a little devastated. Using her eyes, Jiang Yu asked her if she had found anything.
Tang Xia shook her head helplessly, and so did Jiang Yu. “In that case, let’s go back first. Li Xianxian should be coming back at this timing.”
Although Tang Xia was not willing, she could only leave it there. Just when she turned to leave, she suddenly noticed something under the sofa and squatted down to look at it.
She saw a small iron box lying there. Tang Xia raised an eyebrow and lay down on the ground to get the box out.
There was a small lock on it. Standing at a side, Jiang Yu was also surprised. She walked over and observed the box for a while before saying in a lowered voice, “I think there’s something that cannot be seen hidden in the box. Otherwise, why did she wrap it nicely and even hide it under the sofa?”
Tang Xia remained silent. After fiddling with it for a while, she managed to open the small lock. There were a few packets of dark-red powdered medicine that looked like blood.
Tang Xia froze and Jiang Yu quickly took out a bag and studied it. At that moment, they heard a click at the door. It was the sound of the lock being opened.
Both of them panicked, and Jiang Yu quickly put the powder packet she was holding onto into her pocket. After a wave of fluster, Tang Xia became at ease.
She stood up slowly. Upon stepping into her room, Li Xianxian saw such a scene in front of her. Tang Xia held onto the powdered medicine in her hand. Both of their gazes were filled with interrogation.
A spark of panic flashed across Li Xianxian’s eyes uncontrollably, but it was gone the next instant.
“You two … came into my room without my permission and took my things, I think you guys ought to give me an explanation, right?”
Jiang Yu snorted instead. She did not like Li Xianxian, so she was not afraid to offend her. “You should be the one explaining. What is this? To prevent us from being accused, everyone should be honest with each other.”
The conflict between the three of them blew up immediately.
Li Xianxian lowered her head for a while and brewed her emotions. Suddenly, her eyes became red, as if she had been greatly misunderstood.
Tang Xia froze slightly. Suddenly, Li Xianxian said helplessly, “What you have in your hand is just a medicine I developed to replace plasma. You guys act as if I did something that could not be seen.”
While saying so, she also wiped away two drops of tears.
However, Jiang Yu hated this look the most. She said sarcastically, “Who knows if what you said is true or not? If it was just a medicine, why did you have to lock it and put it under the sofa?”
Although Tang Xia also wanted to ask this question, she did not say it out loud.
On the contrary, Li Xianxian became even more aggrieved. She sobbed and said, “As an Elder, I’m already sick and tired of drinking blood every day. I also wish to be like a human. After all, I’m a human outside of the game…
