Chapter 286 - The Vampires’ Feast

Just as both of them were in the midst of their conversation, the whole stadium erupted into cheers. Tang Xia and Li Xianxian could only let it slide and turned to look at the main stage.

The host held onto a microphone and as if on a high, he said excitedly, “Alright, today is the second round of our ‘Uncrowned King’! But before we start, we have a surprise for everyone!”

Tang Xia tilted her head and looked towards July with doubt. “What surprise? Did the organizing party mention this before?” July was also unsure, but she felt that it would not have anything to do with them.

Just when everyone was all confused and knowing that he was keeping them on their toes, the host smiled. Suddenly, the spotlights turned to the stage. Two people were standing there, waving to the audience.

“We’ve specially invited two well-known streamers from time-travel to come down as special guests to give us support. Let us welcome them!”

Instantly, the whole venue erupted into cheers. Tang Xia deliberately took two steps forward. She felt that one of the figures looked really familiar. She rubbed her eyes and continued to look towards that direction. She suddenly realized that it was Su Yanxun, whom she saved from the gangsters in the alley!

The host was also very satisfied with the response. He seized the opportunity and introduced them. “One of them is the popular streamer in time-travel, Su Yanxun, and the other is America-born Chinese, Katherine!”

Tang Xia never thought that an America-born Chinese would come back to do live streaming. She looked at her golden blonde hair and blue eyes.

Tang Xia shook her head and sighed, “Given her looks, how many fans does she have!” Standing beside her, Ye Yifan looked at how Tang Xia was filled with admiration and could not help but laugh.

At this moment, Su Yanxun, who was on the stage, walked towards Tang Xia. Everyone was confused as to what he was trying to do. The spotlights followed him.

He dashed towards Tang Xia and stretched out his hand excitedly “Oh my god! I never thought that I’ll see you here!”

Tang Xia was also slightly shocked. After a few moments, her delayed response prompted her to stretch out her hand. She smiled, “I also did not expect our next meeting to be here!”

Both of them gave each other a smile and also shared a hug. Standing at one side, Ye Yifan finally realized that Su Yanxun was the man who held him back the other day.

Naturally, Su Yanxun also saw Ye Yifan and greeted him. Ye Yifan nodded awkwardly.

Watching them from aside, Li Xianxian snorted in bitterness. “I say, I’m right after all! You only know how to seduce men, and you seem to be always surrounded by people whom you can seduce!”

Standing at a side and feeling annoyed, July frowned and chided. Li Xianxian adopted an attitude and stopped talking. Meanwhile, Su Yanxun had silently remembered her.

When the few of them were catching up, all the fans had gone crazy. They never expected God Su Yanxun to be so close to Tang Xia. They looked like they already knew each other for a long time. The whole venue erupted into chaos again.

The host saw that the crowd was hyped up enough and coughed gently. Using a very formal tone, he announced, “Today is the second round of ‘Uncrowned King’. What makes it different from the first round is that it is a battle!”

Tang Xia raised her brow in confusion. She looked towards Ye Yifan who was standing at aside. Although she heard that this competition was about vampires, no one told her beforehand that it was going to be a battle. Ye Yifan and July did not hear of it as well. July went up to her and tapped on her shoulder. “No worries, I trust the two of you. No matter what kind of competition, you guys will win for sure!”

Looking back at July’s confident look, Tang Xia smiled genuinely. Su Yanxun said eagerly, “Don’t worry, you have me, the God will bring you through!” Tang Xia rolled her eyes helplessly.

The host continued, “Since it is a battle, then we need to randomly pick teams!”

After saying so, he turned around and signaled to the staff with his eyes. A balloting system was shown on the big screen suddenly. Tang Xia and the rest of the group, as well as the two mystery guests, all went forward and took turns to draw.

The host received the results and nodded. He then turned to the audience and said, “Now, I’ll announce the results!”

While saying so, he turned to look at Tang Xia and the rest. “Tang Xia, Ye Yifan and our mystery guest Katherine have picked the Revived Vampire Team. Although it’s a little of a pity, it is still better as compared to humans.”

The fans below the stage all booed. After all, they all hoped that they could draw a better team.

However, they were not prepared for a more disappointing result. The host had a solemn look on his face as he looked towards Su Yanxun. “This time around, our God Su is not that lucky, he got the Humans Team.”

The whole venue erupted into chaos. However, there were still fans who expressed their faith in him. “Master Su is the best! We believe in Master Su!” It was then that Tang Xia realized Su Yanxun had so many fans. It seemed like his capabilities cannot be undermined.

Next up, the host was going to announce something that made everyone most nervous. After all, the most powerful players were up next. “Let us all cheer! Next up, we’ll announce the OG players. Li Xianxian, Jiang Yu…”

Tang Xia lifted her brow naturally. She saw Li Xianxian jump up in surprise. “Wow! I’m so lucky!”

While saying so, she quickly ran to Ye Yifan and tugged onto his shirt with a flirty look. “Yifan, are you interested in teaming up with me? I’ll take good care of you!”

Then, she side-glanced at Tang Xia who was standing next to her. Yi Yifan smiled awkwardly and quickly pushed her away to maintain a distance between them. While doing so, he got one step closer to Tang Xia. “No thanks, we should stay in our own teams. I can take good care of myself, but congrats, you’re lucky to draw a powerful OG Vampire.”

Li Xianxian stomped her feet angrily. She looked at Tang Xia and smiled. “Why? Why aren’t you saying anything? I hope you can remember what I said to you just now. I have always been able to keep my words, and I hope that you won’t be a coward when you bump into me in the game!”

Ye Yifan was a little dissatisfied. He was just about to say something when Su Yanxun suddenly came over. He looked at her with a slight seriousness. “We should all put in our best into the game, what’s the point of over-thinking? Besides, you drawing the best character doesn’t mean that you’ll win. I think you should keep calm and focus on the game.”

Tang Xia looked at Su Yanxun with gratitude. He secretly blinked, causing her to burst out a giggle. Li Xianxian was pissed seeing everyone helping Tang Xia.

At this moment, the host announced the start of the game. Everyone started to enter the game. Li Xianxian turned around and snorted at Tang Xia. “Watch out.” After this, she entered the live stream.

Tang Xia was also helpless. She turned around to look at Ye Yifan. Both of them met each other in the eye and nodded seriously at each other as they entered the live stream together. Tang Xia felt a piercing white light in front of her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she felt exhausted, as if she was run over by a car. Her body felt as powerless as if she was tied up.

Using all of her strength, she forced her eyes open. However, she felt that her whole body was icy-cold. She looked straight and realized that she was lying on the ground. When she stretched out her hand to try to get on her feet, she felt a ball of fire burning inside her. She could not help but start coughing. It felt like there was something changing inside her.

The immense pain in her shoulder caused her brain cells to be confused. Her vision also started to get blurry. She tried her best to remain conscious but realized that she could not do it at all.

She slowly lifted her head and saw a huge moon hanging in the sky. Apparently it was nighttime, but the moon light was so bright that it felt like the daytime.

Forcing out some strength, she rubbed her forehead that was in pain. Things that she saw seemed duplicated. She could not see clearly at all. At this moment, she suddenly realized that a pair of delicate leather shoes had appeared before her.

Feeling a little strange, she lifted her head slowly and looked towards it. She saw a man wearing a clean suit and was looking at her as she was some lowly being.

“Who…are you?” Tang Xia used all her strength to force these three words out of her mouth. She felt as if her throat had been sliced by countless knives. Her voice sounded horrifying.

However, that man ignored her. He slowly turned his body to face the moon. His figure stood right in the middle of the moon and his shadow looked like…a vampire!

It was now that Tang Xia finally realized that the person in front of her had probably just bitten her. She felt a little helpless but her body could not take it anymore.

The ongoing battle in her body caused her to become more agitated. She stretched out her hand to touch her shoulders that were in immense pain. She caressed her shoulder and realized that there were bite marks on them. There were two cavities.

She looked at her hand again and realized that they were stained with her own blood. Her whole body felt powerless due to blood loss. On top of that, the pain from turning into a vampire caused her to be unable to withstand it anymore and she crouched into a ball.

In her body, it felt like ice and fire were clashing into each other. From hot to cold, from cold to hot. She knew that this was the critical moment, a sign that she was probably turning into a vampire.

She stretched out her hand with all her might, trying to catch something, but to no avail. She could only sink her fingers into the ground, leaving behind trails of blood.

Just as Tang Xia’s distracted mind was going to break down, she suddenly howled loudly, venting out all of her pain.

Her eyes popped wide open and her forehead was covered with sweat. She sat up straight in a strange way as if all of the pain in her body were gone in that instant.

She quickly lifted her head and looked at the direction where the man was standing and realized that there was no one, just a giant glistening moon before her.
