Chapter 1093: The Forbidden Rose Song (3)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Angel Song provided two kinds of blood. The fresh human blood was more expensive than artificial blood, so normal vampires would only buy the fresh blood occasionally for a special meal.
But Tong Ye never drank artificial blood. The price of fresh human blood was soaring, so he yelled about how he was going bankrupt all the time.
But he never did.
Tong Ye continued, “Life is really tough now, even the fresh blood smells bad. What are these humans eating nowadays that their blood has been contaminated.”
Ming Shu: “…”
The pollution problem had actually gotten serious enough to threaten the vampire.
“Why are you so silent today?” Tong Ye felt a little strange as he found Ming Shu didn’t say much.
“I’m thinking about big stuff.”
“What big stuff?” Tong Ye’s eyes lit up and got excited. “Who do you want to beat up?”
Ming Shu: ???
Did the Host like causing trouble like this?
It seemed… to be like that.
“Lord Tong Ye, our master wants to invite you over.” A vampire showed up beside them abruptly and bowed to Tong Ye with respect.
“Your master?” Tong Ye was confused. “Who is your master?”
The vampire pointed in a direction and Tong Ye looked over. There were many people sitting over there, men and women, and Tong Ye suddenly changed his expression a little as if he had seen someone.
Tong Ye stood up and bent over to whisper into Ming Shu’s ear while passing by. “I’ll go there for a sec.”
Then Tong Ye followed the vampire away.
Under the interlaced lights and shadows, Tong Ye’s figure was soon out of Ming Shu’s sight.
Ming Shu bit on the straw. It was quiet over there and no violent bleeding events happened.
Ming Shu soon finished the cup of blood and sighed. It was completely not enough!
She still felt very hungry…
Ming Shu ordered a larger cup of blood. Seeing the many zeroes on the bill, she understood why Tong Ye complained that he was going to go bankrupt.
There were mobile blood banks all over the streets outside, yet Angel Song’s profiteering owner actually raised the price so high…
What was the complaints hotline?
Ming Shu was pondering whether she should report on the high price when all of a sudden it became noisy over there. The dancing crowd stopped and all looked that way.
Ming Shu considered that Tong Ye had bought her the “drink” just now, so she walked over with her larger “drink” in her hand to see what happened.
The crowd made way for her automatically, and those who didn’t know her were pulled away by the rest.
Ming Shu walked slowly through the crowd.
The seats in the encirclement were in a mess. Tong Ye was pressed into a seat by a vampire, and beside him stood another vampire with red hair whose arms were crossed before his chest.
When Ming Shu walked into the encirclement, the red-haired vampire took a knife from his partner and grabbed Tong Ye’s hand, pinning it onto the table nearby.
The red-haired vampire showed a gloomy face. “Tong Ye, I’ll teach you a lesson today so you’ll know who is the one you can’t provoke.”
Tong Ye squeezed out a word from between his teeth: “Asshole!”
The red-haired vampire sounded very high-brow. “You’re not careful, how have I become the asshole?”
The red-haired vampire holding the knife seemed to want to cut off Tong Ye’s hand. Ming Shu saw the vampire who handed over the knife drip something onto it. No prizes for guessing what bad thing it would be.
Ming Shu continued walking toward them and was stopped by the vampire guarding the outside.
“What are you doing?” Ming Shu said in a very light tone.
But the red-haired vampire heard her and stopped to look over, narrowing his eyes. “Fu Yu, this is between Tong Ye and me, it’s none of your business.”
It was obvious that the red-haired vampire seemed afraid of Ming Shu, you could tell from his suppressed voice.
Ming Shu smiled. “Oh, okay, I’ll take Tong Ye with me, it’s also none of your business.”
“You…”
“Hululu…” Ming Shu sucked her drink and retained a smiling face.
The red-haired vampire clenched his knife tighter and all around was dead silence. The atmosphere seemed to have frozen.
“Huo Gen,” one of the vampires behind called the red-haired vampire and reminded him, “don’t get into trouble with her.”
“F**k!”
Huo Gen kicked Tong Ye hard but released him.
He threw the knife on the table, which broke the glass immediately and then pierced straight into the floor.
Tong Ye stood up from the seat. Ming Shu saw that his bare skin showed signs of burning.
Huo Gen stared at Tong Ye and said fiercely, “Hiding behind a woman, you are really a hero.”
Tong Ye didn’t care at all. “It’s my honor that Fu Yu protects me, you are just jealous.”
Everyone: “…”
Although they felt ashamed for him, it did take a bit of skill to really get Fu Yu to protect him.
Ming Shu reached out two fingers. “Two cups in return.”
Tong Ye: “…”
Everyone: “…”
What seemed to be wrong here?
“Tong Ye, you’d better not be alone!” Huo Gen threatened Tong Ye and then gave a look to Ming Shu. “Let’s go.”
…
The enmity between Tong Ye and Huo Gen was simple: it was because of a woman. Huo Gen unilaterally thought Tong Ye had touched his woman, and Tong Ye had a strong personality that wouldn’t admit defeat though he actually didn’t even know who the woman was, so the two not only didn’t reach a compromise but also hated each other more and more.
Just now Huo Gen played a trick and manipulated Tong Ye through underhanded means.
To thank Ming Shu for her support, Tong Ye bought several boxes of rations for her.
These takeaway rations were all contained in something like milk cartons, and you only needed a straw to drink.
There were also a spokesman and advertising slogans on the package—
Natural, no additives and preservatives. One cup before sleep will bring vitality for a month!
It sounded very serious.
“What are you going to do later?” Tong Ye’s injury was nothing serious and he was still thinking about Ming Shu’s big stuff.
“Go home and sleep.”
“…” He seemed to have heard something unreal. “But it’s the evening!”
Ming Shu nodded her head. “It’s the right time for sleeping.”
“…” But we are vampires! Nightlife is just beginning! What sleep! Get up and come along!
Tong Ye saw Ming Shu didn’t seem to be joking and could only follow her in a daze.
It was also busy and noisy up here, but the people were all humans. Yet of course, some vampires may have been among them seeking chances to do something bad.
“Wait for me for a sec.”
Ming Shu suddenly stuffed the things in her hand into Tong Ye’s arms and turned around to walk toward the bathroom.
Tong Ye: “…”
Did vampires need to use the bathroom?
Tong Ye waited for Ming Shu on the spot, and after sending away the Nth girl who tried to hook up with him, Ming Shu still didn’t come back, so he had to look for her in the bathroom.
There were no male or female bathrooms and they were all divided by cubicles, but the sound insulation was very good. They designed it in this way probably because… they wanted to save the check-in fee for consumers.
Tong Ye searched from the first one and happened to see Ming Shu come out of the last one.
Behind her…
“You you you…” Tong Ye pointed at her.
Committing a crime in public?
Ming Shu closed the door conveniently and blocked Tong Ye’s sight.
“Relax, they are alive.”
“It’s not about being alive or dead!” Tong Ye said. “What have you done to them?”
“I beat them up.”
“I must tell you, you know, if you want fresh blood, I can buy it for you, but you can’t…” Tong Ye paused. “What did you say?”
“I beat them up.” Ming Shu took back her rations from his arms. “Let’s go.”
Tong Ye was still worried and pulled open the door to have a look. There were several girls dressed enchantingly inside, and their thick makeup had been ruined by tears, smeared all over their faces. Tong Ye thought he had seen a bunch of ghosts.
But there was indeed no smell of blood.
Tong Ye slammed the door shut.
