Chapter 2000 - 2001: The Upright Demoness

Chapter 2000: Chapter 2001: The Upright Demoness

Seemingly sensing a chill, Lou Yaoyao felt a shiver in her heart, quickly stepped back two steps, and repeatedly apologized, "I’m sorry, Ancestor Qin, I got too excited, please forgive me..."

"It’s okay."

Only then did Qin Lan’s exquisite eyebrow relax.

Lou Yaoyao also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The two stood one in front and one behind, silent for a moment.

Gazing into the distant sky, Qin Lan’s beautiful eyes suddenly flickered: "Do you like him?"

"Do you like him?"

After a brief silence, this question seemed abrupt and unreasonable.

At least, for Lou Yaoyao, it was so.

Lou Yaoyao was instantly bewildered.

What puzzled her was not the question itself, but the person asking it.

Why would Qin Lan ask her this question?

Does it have anything to do with her?

Rumor had it that the ancestor of the Xiahou Family, who rarely left her retreat, didn’t concern herself with worldly matters. Her appearance at the Balkan Peninsula to save Ye Xuan and Lou Yaoyao was already very strange.

Now, she’s even concerned about Ye Xuan and Lou Yaoyao’s emotional issues... Isn’t this too unlike Qin Lan?

Of course, Lou Yaoyao didn’t think much more about it, so after a moment of surprise, she came to her senses and nodded, saying, "Yes, I like him!"

Lou Yaoyao was just such a candid... demon lady.

"Not worth it."

Facing away from Lou Yaoyao, Qin Lan spoke indifferently against the cold sea breeze.

"Not worth it?"

Hearing this, Lou Yaoyao was stunned and looked at Qin Lan strangely: "Ancestor Qin, what do you mean by not worth it?"

"Not worth it in any aspect." Qin Lan said expressionlessly, "Especially risking your life for him."

Lou Yaoyao was taken aback, then sighed: "Honestly, I don’t know what came over me. Logically, I would never do something as foolish as sending myself to death. But at that urgent moment, I wasn’t thinking much... Haha, but luckily, with you here, Ancestor Qin, what is Odin to fear?"

Qin Lan’s beautiful eyes drooped, and a touch of unspeakable sorrow flashed in her deep, ancient eyes.

Yes, emotions are like sprouts in a desolate place, unnoticed by others. By the time one discovers them, the sprout has become an unshakable towering tree, beyond one’s control and ability to resist.

Closing her eyes, Qin Lan collected her thoughts and said calmly, "After this incident, Odin will surely demand justice from the Hidden Dragon. You won’t escape some trouble."

"What’s done is done, what’s there to fear?" Lou Yaoyao shrugged and said, "Could it be that the vampire tribe would really risk everything against the Hidden Dragon? Or the Hidden Dragon Lord would kill me? Or my father would kill me?"

Qin Lan said no more.

From a young age, Lou Yaoyao was known as a little demon of the Hidden Dragon, as famous as Xiahou Yudie of the Xiahou Family, which Qin Lan naturally had heard about.

Sometimes, Qin Lan quite envied these two juniors, envied their uninhibited and carefree spirit, as free as birds soaring in the sky...

Lou Yaoyao’s beautiful eyes turned, and she suddenly laughed, "Rest assured, Ancestor Qin, I won’t reveal to anyone about your action against Odin."

"What if you do reveal it?" Qin Lan asked.

Lou Yaoyao was taken aback, unable to speak a word.

If it were revealed... As a person of the Hidden Dragon, wouldn’t you be in trouble too?

But Qin Lan didn’t explain much further.

Only she knew, even if her actions were made known to the world, there would be no one in the Hidden Dragon World who dared to criticize her.

Appearing at the Balkan Peninsula incognito was simply to avoid unnecessary complications, not because she feared anything.

In this world, she already feared no one, and no event intimidated her.

At least, not before the sixth cycle of reincarnation.

...

Ye Xuan felt a lot of pressure recently.

In just a few months, he had encountered death three times, what kind of days is he living?

Maybe he should just... die?

But, he couldn’t!

His dear wife hadn’t yet shared a room with him, dying here on the Balkan Peninsula, wouldn’t that make him the most aggrieved husband in history?

Who gets married for a year and hasn’t been intimate with his wife before dying and leaving her a widow?

Even Wu Dalang wasn’t that tragic!

To ensure his life wasn’t more miserable than Wu Dalang’s, Ye Xuan decided to live on.

Thus, he had another nightmare.

The contents of the nightmare were still so familiar.

In a world of chaos, the blue planet, floods, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, the heavens and earth collapsing...

And the stunning Qin Lan, visibly aging before his eyes.

A peerless beauty suddenly turned into someone with a mouth full of rotten teeth, looking like a zombie emerging from Hell, a sight that sent shivers down his spine.

Ye Xuan felt a chill and resolutely slapped himself.

Slap!

The crisp and piercing sound echoed, accompanied by a burning pain on his face, Ye Xuan immediately woke up.

Opening his eyes, the scene in his field of vision seemed vaguely familiar.

The surroundings were dark.

An exceptionally beautiful silhouette stood with her hands behind her back, facing away from him.

Though the scenery had changed, this feeling left a deep impression on Ye Xuan... Isn’t this just like the scene when he woke up at the Xiahou Family not long ago?

"Ye Xuan..."

Before Ye Xuan could greet Qin Lan, Lisa, who had been by his side all along, cheerfully exclaimed, "Ye Xuan, you’re awake? You’re finally awake!"

Ye Xuan was stunned, turned his head, and saw Lisa’s face already streaked with tears.

Compared to how she looked before he lost consciousness, Lisa no longer appeared as disheveled. At least her hair wasn’t messy, her pretty face wasn’t dirty, and although her demeanor seemed exhausted and weak, it was evidently due to her keeping vigil over Ye Xuan and not having time to heal her injuries.

Seeing Lisa safe and sound, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. He turned his gaze, then took out an elixir pill from his pocket: "Here, take this pill, it’s very effective for healing, although its effect on vampires is uncertain."

Lisa was stunned for a moment.

Then she burst into tears.

Who could understand what she was feeling at that moment?

As a vampire, the ideas instilled in her from childhood mostly revolved around the evils of humans. Yet now, it was vampires who heartlessly harmed her, while humans saved her.

This human named Ye Xuan, not only risked his life to save her, but upon awakening barely from severe injuries, considered her physical state...

Lisa felt her worldview completely collapsed, and the gratitude in her heart was beyond words.

Seeing Lisa burst into tears for no reason, Ye Xuan was baffled but shook his head helplessly.

A young girl, after all, experienced too little...

Faced with such a situation, Ye Xuan didn’t know how to comfort her, so he said nothing more, silently placed the elixir pill into Lisa’s hand, and then turned to look at the other woman beside him.
