CH 181

The Vicious Female Supporting Character and the White Lotus Female Lead: Ch 181, The Charismatic Vampire

Nie Zhen'er walked to Cong Ying Yu’s castle and found the hole from the west side. She squatted down and walked inside.

Halfway through, Nie Zhen'er encountered the roses growing from the castle.

Vampires loved to drink blood, but her actual body won't be hurt or bleed. While walking, Nie Zhen’er yanked out the roses. After leaving the hole, she threw the pulled rose aside and got up, passing through the rose bushes.

The noon sun was high in the sky, scorching the earth, and the castle was too quiet. The only sound was the sound of Nie Zhen'er's feet against the earth.

Exiting the rose bushes, she looked back. The roses where she passed were still blooming as ever, only the fiery red petals were scattered.

This hole was the same one secretly dug by humans 20 years ago. Cong Ying Yu knew of the existence of this place and so did all the vampires in the castle.

The reason why this hole wasn’t sealed was because of Cong Ying Yu's pride.

She felt that humans already knew the consequences of entering the castle. Therefore, even if she left this hole, after seeing such a tragedy, humans wouldn’t dare to enter again.

In the past two decades, it was true that no human has dared to invade Cong Ying Yu’s castle. Cong Ying Yu has always been proud of this matter and would talk about this to the local vampires wherever she went.

The rose has just been planted in the past two years. Those guests, who came here (lovers) to visit, found the castle so bare that it was unsightly. They proposed to Cong Ying Yu to plant red roses. The color of the rose is like fresh blood and would imply the humans who walk into the rose bushes will shed their blood in the castle.

Cong Ying Yu liked the lover’s explanation, she readily ordered them to be planted.

Ying Yu's pride facilitated Nie Zhen'er's rescue of He Hai, but the rose bushes she planted at the words of her lover added trouble to this rescue operation.

These roses grew extremely well. Just the branches were half a person tall and the thorns on the emerald green branches were strong and sharp. It would be difficult for humans to walk through it unscathed.

Nie Zhen'er was afraid that once He Hai bleeds, he will alarm the vampires in the castle.

She won’t attack humans because she hates human blood and she only came to save He Hai because He Hai was Luan Qing Xiao’s childhood friend. However, she herself was also a vampire and won’t strike her own people.

If the vampires in the old castle were alarmed, Nie Zhen'er would be very conflicted. She might even give up rescuing He Hai.

After all, He Hai was just Luan Qing Xiao's childhood friend.

If Luan Qing Xiao was captured, Nie Zhen'er would rescue her no matter what, even if it meant hurting her own kind.

Luan Qing Xiao was different from others.

Nie Zhen'er walked through the quiet old castle and quickly made her way to the depths of the garden.

The big iron cage is still in its original position, half shaded and half sunny.

He Hai sat in the shade and kept staring at the direction where Nie Zhen'er came yesterday.

Seeing a fresh and slender figure walking in the distance, He Hai walked into the sunny side excitedly, grasping the big iron cage with both hands.

After Nie Zhen'er approached closer, she nodded to the excited He Hai, "I'm here to save you."

To He Hai, Nie Zhen'er was like a light shining into a dark corner, giving him the hope of life.

"Thank you, I will definitely repay you." He Hai's voice trembled because of his excitement.

Nie Zhen'er said, "No need."

She placed her hand on the iron cage and signaled He Hai to back away.

He Hai didn't know how Nie Zhen'er was going to get him out of the cage and retreated to a shady place, watching Nie Zhen'er’s actions with wide eyes.

Nie Zhen'er put both hands on the two irons bar and pulled hard to both sides.

The hard iron bends slowly under He Hai's surprised eyes.

"Okay, you can come out." Nie Zhen'er released her hands.

At this time, the gap was big enough for He Hai to come out of it.

He Hai hurriedly rushed out. Because he was too anxious, his feet tripped him and Nie Zhen'er supported  him in time.

Nie Zhen'er retracted her hands and said to He Hai, who was dazed, "Put the rain boots on."

He Hai had no objection. He immediately took the rain boots from Nie Zhen'er and replaced the shoes on his feet with them.

"The vampires in the castle are currently all dormant, follow me and don't get lost."

He Hai's heart beat rapidly. Hearing this, he instantly nodded, "I’ll try my best to keep up with you!"

Because Nie Zhen'er’s pace was extremely fast and He Hai was wearing heavy rain boots, he had a hard time keeping up. Eventually, Nie Zhen'er stopped in front of the rose bushes.

By now, He Hai was panting from exhaustion and his whole body was soaked with sweat.

Smelling the sweat on his body, Nie Zhen’er furrowed her brows involuntarily.

He Hai noticed it and awkwardly explained,  "I sweat easily."

Nie Zhen'er stated, "In a second, we’ll go through the rose bushes. Follow me closely, I’ll walk even faster than before."

He Hai nodded. This was a matter of life and death, he didn't dare to be careless.

"It's best not to hurt yourself, your blood will disturb the sleeping vampires."

He Hai looked at the tall and thick rose bushes in front of him and felt that it would be difficult to go through here without bleeding.

"Don't worry too much, even if you bleed. As long as we leave the castle before they wake up, there won’t be any problem."

"Thank you." As a big guy, He Hai was ashamed of being comforted by Nie Zhen'er.

"If you want to thank someone, thank Qing Xiao. I only saved you because of her." Nie Zhen'er said lightly.

"Let's go. If we waste any more time, it’ll be dark before we can return to school."

Nie Zhen'er parted the rose branches and leaves in front of him as He Hai waited nervously for her to move.

However, just as Nie Zhen'er was about to move, a languid and charming voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Zhen'er, if you liked him, you could have just told me. Why would I be reluctant to give away one virgin male?"

Nie Zhen'er turned around and saw the woman, walking closer from afar.

She had long and attractive red wavy hair and human lipstick on her lips, making it seem a luscious red. She wasn’t as pale as Nie Zhen'er. She wore a burgundy cheongsam with slits up to her thighs, exposing her snow-white skin when she walked.

"Who is she?" He Hai asked uneasily.

Nie Zhen'er pursed her lips. She stepped in front of He Hai and said to the woman, "Mother, I didn't expect you to return this early."

Cong Ying Yu peered contemptuously at He Hai, who collapsed to the ground in fright behind Nie Zhen'er, and addressed Nie Zhen'er, "My daughter has actually learned to steal men from her mother. Your insistence on going to college was just to learn this?"

Cong Ying Yu's speech speed was very slow and her expression lazy, but the words she said were like steel pins, stabbing straight into Nie Zhen'er's heart.

Nie Zhen'er has become accustomed to Cong Ying Yu's scorn. With the same expression on her face, she said to Cong Ying Yu, "Mother, if I ask you to allow me to take him, would you have agreed?"

Cong Ying Yu chuckled, "Of course… … not."

"Oh, how could my daughter be this naïve~" Cong Ying Yu strolled in front of Nie Zhen'er and gently lifted Nie Zhen'er's chin with her finger as her seductive eyes scanned her face, "If you hadn’t come from my belly, I truly wouldn’t have believed you were my daughter."

Releasing her hand, Cong Ying Yu blew on her slender fingers, as if she had just touched something dirty by touching Nie Zhen'er, "Helping humans, betraying vampires, I’m sure you know what the consequences are. Do you want me to do it or will you do it yourself?"

"You are really a wise Royal Highness who exterminates her relatives ever so righteously." Nie Zhen'er sneered.

The expression on Ying Yu's face changed as a deep displeasure flashed in her eyes, "Such stubbornness needs to be severely punished."

"Initially, I only wanted to give you three lashes and imprison you for ten years. Now, six lashes, twenty years."

The author has something to say: 

Luan Qing Xiao: I am on the way to offer my blood, Zhen’er wait for me!
