Chapter 292 - Vampire King

When the words left Katherine’s mouth, both of them were shocked. Tang Xia felt that it was strange and confusing, while the one with the biggest reaction was War King.

A tint of fear was added onto his already-painful expression. He quickly realized that there were others around and he quickly kept his expression. He then turned and threw the punishment tool onto the ground.

“Then you bring her away!” He basically said it through his gritted teeth. After this, he turned his back against them. He was extremely unwilling, but he had no choice but to give in.

Katherine was overjoyed. She looked at Tang Xia and winked cheekily. Tang Xia realized what was going on and heaved a sigh of relief.

Katherine immediately went forward and used a tool to open up the chains to Tang Xia. She pulled her up and Tang Xia stretched her wrists that now had a red marking on them from the tight grip. The wound from the slit earlier was starting to heal.

Tang Xia had a solemn realization. Luckily, she was saved by Katherine. Otherwise, under the hands of the agitated War King, if she did not end up dying, she would at least be handicapped.

Katherine looked towards War King’s fury back view and bowed respectfully, saying, “In that case, War King, we’ll get going now.”

War King was shaking from the pain, but he showed no reaction to her words. Katherine did not wait for a response either and pulled Tang Xia out directly.

Both of them closed the door quickly and then took a deep breath as if they had just escaped hell’s gates.

Katherine looked at the wounds on Tang Xia and pitied her. She grabbed her hand and said, “Luckily, the King heard about your powerful performance from earlier and made me come and bring you over. Otherwise, you might really just die here!”

Tang Xia also felt the thrills of surviving a deadly encounter. She smiled and said, “It’s fine, I came out perfectly fine!”

As if she suddenly thought of something, she looked at Katherine with a confused look and asked, “The King that you mentioned, why does he want to meet me?”

Katherine caressed her chin and pondered for a second. Judging by her furrowed brows, she herself obviously did not know why either. She turned around and looked at Tang Xia solemnly, saying, “I don’t know. He didn’t state the specifics. But I guess it’s because he already knew how special you are. I already told you from the start to not show your powers, but you still did it anyways.”

Feeling a little embarrassed, Tang Xia lowered her head. She was indeed too careless. Katherine wasted no more time and pulled her along towards the King’s residence.

On the way there, Tang Xia felt that her surroundings were starting to become dimmer but at the same time also more luxurious. The sparkling-gold ornaments were just like the kind of antique decorations one would expect to find in a rich vampire family. On the way there, Tang Xia made all these observations.

The number of guards also became lesser as they proceeded along. This caused Tang Xia to be confused.

Not long after, both of them reached. Tang Xia looked up at the doors that were beautifully decorated with gold carvings and could not help but be in awe. She sighed and said, “This is really luxurious.”

Katherine shook her head helplessly and pushed the door open directly. Upon entering, she did not even dare to lift her head up and immediately made a greeting.

Tang Xia only felt a white light flash before her. The curtains in the room were all drawn. The room felt very luxurious, and it was well-lit by the sunlight and it felt warm.

Katherine did not dare to go in at all. She took two steps back and nodded at Tang Xia. She then turned and left directly while bringing in the door behind her.

In this ginormous and luxurious room, there stood a man at the window, looking out at the view downstairs.

Tang Xia felt that this back view was extremely familiar. She tried to go forward, but just as she was about to, that man slowly turned around while shaking the wine glass in his hand.

He stared at her full of authority. His gaze was filled with extreme coldness, as if he were born to be a rich and powerful King. However, when Tang Xia saw his face, she felt her heart take a huge plunge and she shivered.

Because the man standing before her was none other than Chu Tiankuo.

Dressed in a gentleman suit, he looked very posh. Although he had always looked perfect, it was as if he always got to play the rich and dominant character.

He walked towards her slowly and stretched out his hand to lift up his chin. He smiled coldly. “Ha, we meet again.”

Tang Xia was unable to digest this whole situation for a long while. Seeing that she was in a daze, Chu Tiankuo frowned.

With a suppressed anger, he said, “I’ve been waiting for you for a long while, but you’re so evil. You actually bear to kill me so harshly. You really shattered my heart into pieces.”

Tang Xia felt a punch to her heart. She then regained her composure and shoved him away. She looked at him with a sharp glare and spoke solemnly.

“You only have yourself to blame for what happened last time. You were the one who wanted to destroy the world against all advice. But this time around, you’d better not do all those extra things. Stop trying to help me!”

Chu Tiankuo was taken aback. Seeing that her gaze was now filled with fury, he pushed her against the corner of the walls and slammed his palm against the wall. “What did you say? I helped you and you’re not thanking me? I will do whatever I want! Can you stop me?”

Seeing how wanton he was, Tang Xia became even more annoyed. She shoved him away and glared at him.

“These are my own personal matters. I don’t need you to interfere. I want to win you righteously. Do you know the kind of heated debates I was brought into because of your help?”

The more she said, the more accused she felt. Tang Xia was so pissed that her eyes were turning red. Chu Tiankuo saw that she was about to burst into tears and his heart softened. He wanted to comfort her but did not know how to go about it. He just stood there not knowing what to do.

At this moment, Tang Xia suddenly realized that Chu Tiankuo’s eyes were blue. She immediately grabbed his face.

“Were you the one who bit me! Your eyes are blue, just like mine! Oh god, I never thought that you were this kind of person!”

Tang Xia already had some opinions towards him, and now that she realized this, all of her good feelings for him vanished immediately. She was so pissed that she turned around immediately, prepared to get out. Chu Tiankuo quickly ran up to her and grabbed her by the elbow.

“What do you mean by biting you! I’ve never bitten you! What are you thinking about? I will never ever do that to you!” Chu Tiankuo was extremely sincere in his words, but in the ears of the furious Tang Xia, it was no use at all.

She shrugged his hands away and glared at him harshly. She gave him a cold smile and said, “As if I would believe that!”

After saying so, she pushed the door open and prepared to walk out. Chu Tiankuo was also triggered. Looking at her back view, he punched the wall angrily and muttered “Shit!”

Before Tang Xia could take her second step out of the door, a gush of crazy wind came towards her and took her by surprise.

When she opened her eyes again, War King was laughing sinisterly while looking at her like he was watching ants. He dragged her by the collar and said, “Ha! Young woman, you can’t run away from me this time round!”

Tang Xia struggled to break free, but she could not get out no matter what. At this moment, she wished that a certain someone would come and save her.

Suddenly, the image of Chu Tiankuo came into her mind, but she rejected the idea instantly. “No, I can’t rely on him anymore!” After saying so, she struggled even harder.

Just as War King was about to leave, he heard footsteps from behind. A stern voice spoke lightly yet firmly, “She’s mine. Where are you bringing her?”

War King was shocked. He turned around and saw Chu Tiankuo staring him sternly. He could not help but shudder in fear. A cold sweat broke out on his back.

“My…my King, I didn’t know that she’s your hostage. But this woman has trampled on my bottom-line several times. I should punish her!”

While saying so, he ran over to Chu Tiankuo’s side fearfully like a toady. After he let go of Tang Xia, she looked at him with disgust.

“Do I need you to punish my people?”

While saying so, he gave him a cold, stern stare. He turned around and looked at Tang Xia. A tint of worry flashed across his eyes and he sighed helplessly. He went up to her and helped her to tidy her clothes. However, he was thanked by a slap on his hands.

Tang Xia snorted angrily and said, “Stay away from me! I don’t need you to help me! I’ve just said it; you’ve forgotten it already?” While saying so, she glanced at War King and turned to leave.

Chu Tiankuo looked at how she was pushing everyone away and felt his blood boiling. However, he could not do anything to her. He looked towards War King at this side and kicked him over angrily.

“This is all because of you! You useless piece of sh*t!”

Chu Tiankuo channeled all of his anger onto War king. War King was dumbfounded when beaten up by him, and he felt very accused.

Tang Xia ignored the pitiful cries and Chu Tiankuo’s angry howls. She ignored them completely and walked back.

When she returned, she saw Ye Yifan walking back and forth in the room anxiously. Suddenly, Tang Xia felt very sorry for herself, but she did not show them on her face. Upon regaining her composure, she walked over.

Seeing that she was back, Ye Yifan quickly went up to her to see if she was alright. She felt comforted seeing how worried he was. After confirming that she was fine, he finally heaved a heavy sigh of relief.

He grabbed her hand and asked anxiously, “Are you alright? Did War King put you on the spot? Oh, I also heard that the King summoned you. He didn’t make things difficult for you, did he?”

Tang Xia forced a smile and twirled around in front of him. She smiled and said, “Look, I’m perfectly fine! Don’t worry, I have special powers; no one can hurt me.”

She then narrated all the things that happened to her. Ye Yifan was also very shocked to find out that the King was Chu Tiankuo.

Now that he knew what she was feeling right now, he quickly went up to her and pulled her into his embrace. Patting her back gently, he said, “It’s alright, it’s all over.” Tang Xia nodded, and keeping her head against his chest, she responded with a low ‘hmm’.
