Chapter 315 - On the Verge

Chapter 315 On the Verge

Chu Tiankuo smiled and nodded. He asked her to try it own before turning around and closing the door like a gentleman.

Tang Xia did not make a fuss. She carried the gown in and changed into it. However, at that moment when she put it on, she felt like something was injected into her whole body.

Her whole body felt her strength increased exponentially. Tang Xia stared at her reflection in the mirror in shock. She felt that something was wrong.

She quickly pushed the door open and wanted to ask Chu Tiankuo. Seeing her in the gown that he had made himself, he could not help but nod in satisfaction. All the details, be it the size or the waist length, were all near perfection. This was basically made for her.

“Why do I feel something strange when I wear this gown? I feel like I suddenly became more powerful!”

Chu Tiankuo was not surprised that she brought this up. On the contrary, he looked as if everything was in control. This caused her to be even more curious.

He walked towards her slowly and helped her to adjust the gown. He lowered his head and she could see his long eyelashes. The whirling blue gaze seemed to entail a raging storm.

Tang Xia stared at him for some time and found herself trapped in it. His cello-like low voice spoke slowly, “I made this gown especially for you. I planned to give it to you when we were going to look for the Vampire’s Cloak.”

His already-intoxicating voice caused her to be in a daze for a moment. However, when she heard the content of his words, she woke up instantly. Her eyes widened immediately. She held onto the gown in disbelief.

“You’re saying…this gown…is made using the Vampire’s Cloak?”

Although he knew that she would be annoyed and would flare up, he would rather that and ensure she was safe and unharmed. He had no expression on his face as he nodded calmly. Everything was going as planned.

However, for Tang Xia, this was as disgusting as eating the bones and blood of her own partner to live on. She immediately struggled to break free of the gown.

But when she tried to take it off, she realized that this gown seemed to have become one with her. She could not take it off at all. When she realized it, she was so enraged that she could explode.

She turned and looked at Chu Tiankuo who acted as if all was good. She howled at him angrily, “Chu Tiankuo, you’ve gone way too overboard! How dare you lie to me! You never lied to me! I trusted you!”

Seeing that her eyes were almost shooting flames, he helplessly wrapped his arms around her and comforted her.

“You must know one thing. No matter what I do, it is to protect you. Even if I were to lose my life, I will definitely protect you until the end, let alone a mere cloak.”

Tang Xia, who was initially struggling as hard as she could, calmed down gradually after listening to his heartfelt words.

The ball was about to begin. Both of them hugged each other in silence for a while before Chu Tiankuo finally let go of her. However, Chu Tiankuo already knew that she was holding a grudge against him without her saying or doing anything. He could only pull her to the venue.

Tang Xia let him do whatever he wanted. The venue was almost filled up.

Seeing how crowded and lively the atmosphere was, Chu Tiankuo hoped that it could change her mood. He slowly walked to the center of the stage and announced, “The ball begins!”

At that instant, the ball began to turn to life. However, at this moment, the big door behind suddenly opened. Everyone turned to look at it out of curiosity. Even Tang Xia also looked up.

However, when she saw who it was, she froze. Feeling shocked, she turned her head and looked at Chu Tiankuo who was standing beside her, as if questioning why he was there.

The person was none other than Earl Carl, the owner of the pure breed castle whom they got the map from. He even came with a bunch of young and strong-looking vampires. They looked like they were the elites among them.

Chu Tiankuo also felt Tang Xia’s gaze. At an angle where no one could see, he squeezed her palm gently and gave her a glance hinting to her that it was okay.

However, despite him saying that everything was fine, she still had a bad hunch. When she was about to ask something, he suddenly let go of her hand and welcomed them.

The two Kings welcomed each other with smiling faces. Their smiles were gentlemanly and polite. Chu Tiankuo went up to him and waved his hand. The butler near him quickly brought him a glass of wine. The King smiled and took it.Read More chapter on our vi pnovel. com

He said politely, “This ball is well-organized. We met not too long ago, but it seems like you’ve been successful at finding what you need.”

Chu Tiankuo nodded and made an inviting gesture, hinting to talk aside. He turned around and told everyone to carry on. Everyone then continued their loud chatters. The atmosphere became lively again.

Carl nodded and followed Chu Tiankuo. While doing so, he walked past Tang Xia coincidentally. Both of them nodded at each other as a form of greeting.

Tang Xia kept on feeling that something was off. She also did not know what Chu Tiankuo and Carl were discussing. They did not allow anyone to follow them and stepping aside to talk made her suspicion stronger.

They seemed to be talking about something very serious and their faces were focused.

Just when she took a glass of wine and was about to go eavesdrop, a man stopped her all of a sudden. She was a little startled at the young vampire’s well-built body.

The vampire chuckled, “Miss Tang Xia, do you not remember me?” Tang Xia was surprised. She realized that he was Earl Carl’s people and she tried to recall.

She suddenly looked up and pointed at him, “You…you are the one that welcomed Chu Tiankuo and I at Earl Carl’s palace?” The young vampire smiled and nodded.

“I can’t believe you remember me.”

After saying that, he took a sip of wine. Tang Xia lowered her gaze. Perhaps this was a good chance to get something out of him. Her eyes wandered around sneakily and she leaned towards his ear slowly.

She asked softly, “What is your King doing here? Did anything happen? He can’t possibly be here just to attend the ball, right?”Read More chapter on our vi pnovel. com

The vampire looked at her weirdly. He suddenly thought of something.

“Since King Chu Tiankuo brought you there last time and he’s so nervous about you, you’re probably entitled to know, right?”

He then pondered for a while, seemingly hesitating whether to tell her or not. Then, he made a decision. “I’ll tell you secretly, you cannot tell anyone else.”

Tang Xia quickly nodded. He leaned in towards her ear and said, “It looks like a big war is coming soon.” Instantly, a bad hunch came to her. When she continued to ask for the details, he did not know the answers. She could not help but feel disappointed.

Just when she sunk into thoughts, Jiang Yu and Katherine saw her and waved their hands. They called out her name several times but she did not respond.

Both of them were confused. They walked to her and caught her deep in thoughts with her head lowered. She only snapped back when they patted on her shoulder. She did not know when they had come.

The vampire smiled awkwardly. “Since there’s someone looking for you, I shall excuse myself.” Then, without waiting for Tang Xia to reply, he left. Jiang Yu looked at his back in confusion.

“Who’s that?” Katherine was obviously intrigued to find out too. She observed the person carefully. He had come in with the person who barged into the ball.

Rather, they were more eager to know who that person talking to Chu Tiankuo was.

Tang Xia’s mind was obviously not thinking about that. She waved her hand casually, “Just someone who came to say hi.”

Then, she gulped down the entire glass of wine in her hand. Instantly, her body felt like it was on fire. Jiang Yu quickly snatched away the glass.

She scolded, “Who drinks like this? Do you have any trouble?” They were all very suspicious of what she just said. They felt that she was acting abnormally. Hearing that, Tang Xia froze. She then pretended everything was alright and smiled.

“Nah, I’m just excited to attend my first vampire ball.”

Then, she picked up another glass of wine again. She looked at the crowd near her who were having way too much fun. She would not tell them things that have yet to be confirmed so that they would not worry.

She then turned to look at Chu Tiankuo and Carl who were still talking. Her gaze slowly became dense.

Jiang Yu and Katherine obviously did not believe her but they did not continue to ask. At this point in time, they suddenly noticed her gown. Actually, they already noticed it at first glance. Katherine teased, “What a beautiful gown, where did you get it from?”

Feeling tired, Tang Xia massaged her brows. She sighed lifelessly, “I’m a little tipsy right now, I want to go back and sleep.” Actually, she was trying to change the topic. She was too shy to say that it was the Vampire’s Cloak.

Jiang Yu knocked on Tang Xia’s forehead a little apologetically, “Since that’s the case, let me help you back.” Then, she supported her to climb up the stairs. Just then, Tang Xia suddenly froze and looked towards the big door.

She seemed to have heard many bullets hitting against the door. Katherine and Jiang Yu were all confused at her sudden stop. They were just about to ask what was wrong when suddenly there was a loud bang.

The crowd all turned to look at the door in shock. The door had just been kicked open and countless human police were holding guns that were loaded with real bullets.

Tang Xia instantly got a great shock. She looked out the window and realized that it was the break of dawn. Was history going to repeat itself again?

The vampires were only startled for a short while. Very quickly, everyone got into combat mode and a large army of vampire butlers came surging in.

Jiang Yu quickly pulled along Tang Xia and Katherine to take two steps back. Seeing that the two sides were facing each other head-on, the war was on the verge of happening.
