Chapter 153 Selling Flowers Blood Clan – Yun Xi
“Blood plasma?”
Su Jiu was slightly stunned, but found that the girl in her hand struggled even harder, like a small animal, and begged herself in a low voice: “Let go quickly, they will beat me to death, I… I don’t have money.”
“What? A law-abiding society, they dare to kill you?”
Su Jiu, feeling a bit confused, stepped forward, then smiled helplessly and asked a man in a white coat: “How much does she owe you? I’ll pay for her.”
One of the scar-faced men, a bald man in a white coat, sized up Su Jiu, exchanged glances with his companion, rubbed his hands, and said with a grin: “It’s not much, just ten thousand dollars.”
“Ten thousand dollars?!”
Su Jiu’s eyelids twitched wildly. They were treating her like a fat sheep to be fleeced! She glanced at the girl’s trembling body and felt there was no need to cause trouble.
She immediately sighed and was about to use her phone to pay the two men, saying:
“What’s the bank account number?”
Seeing that Su Jiu was about to pay after being startled, the scar-faced man’s face lit up with an even brighter expression. He grinned and continued to extort, saying: “I suddenly forgot, it seems it wasn’t ten thousand, but fifty thousand…”
“I’ll give you another chance to organize your language.”
Hearing this, Su Jiu tilted her head slightly, looking at him calmly, as if a bloody light flickered. It was the first time someone had tried to extort her, and in this unfamiliar place, she was not to be trifled with either.
At this moment, the girl behind Su Jiu no longer struggled. Instead, she took the opportunity to hug Su Jiu’s arm and looked forward timidly, saying: “Sister… I don’t want to die.”
As the scar-faced man was about to say something else, another short-haired man in a white coat looked deeply at the girl next to Su Jiu, grabbed his companion, and whispered: “Hey, are you stupid?”
Hearing this, the scar-faced man followed his companion’s gaze and met a pair of indifferent blood eyes. He shivered, and then said with a dry smile: “It’s just ten thousand dollars, I just remembered it wrong.”
“Don’t forget next time, or you might take a shortcut in life.”
Pursing her lips, Su Jiu thought the two men were scared off by her, so she casually paid them off and watched their retreating backs.
She turned around, half-bowed and gently lifted the girl’s hair, revealing an exquisitely delicate Eastern face beneath. And next to that angelic face, two pointed ears were like a devil’s curse.
The girl kept lowering her head, as if to hide the fangs above her lips, but Su Jiu still discovered them.
“Are you hungry? Pointed ears, High-Class Blood Clan…”
Su Jiu pursed her lips and sighed, gently wiping away the small pearls of tears from the corner of the girl’s eyes with her sleeve. She took two Magic Crystals out of her pouch and put them in her pocket, sighing helplessly: “Eat this, alas, blood plasma isn’t enough to fill even a High-Class Blood Clan.”
High-Class Blood Clan are different from Corpse Demons. The former doesn’t get sick if they’re not hungry, while the latter gets sick even when full.
After speaking, she patted the girl’s shoulder and was about to turn and leave. She still needed to find an Inn or a hotel, otherwise, she would have to sleep on the street filled with vampires.
“Alas, two more fifty thousands are gone, only a few left in stock. Fortunately, I brought some instant noodles this time.”
Su Jiu didn’t understand why looking at the girl’s face always reminded her of that wicked Silly Duke, perhaps because of her Dragon Country accent and Eastern face?
Is that why she occasionally became generous?
She hadn’t walked far when Su Jiu suddenly felt her sleeve being pulled. She turned her head and saw the girl following behind her, with her head lowered.
She then asked somewhat confusedly: “Little Sister, what’s wrong?”
The girl, with the Magic Crystals Su Jiu gave her in her mouth and a tearful voice, said indistinctly: “Sister, can you take me with you? I can do anything, as long as I don’t starve.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she rushed forward and hugged Su Jiu, burying her head in Su Jiu’s chest, sobbing softly like a small animal, her Green Silk constantly brushing against Su Jiu’s right temple like animal fur.
“Alas, you… if I take you with me, what about your parents? They’ll be very sad.”
This made Su Jiu even more helpless. She was here to complete a mission, and taking someone with her was very dangerous.
“I… I don’t have parents, nor any other relatives. I’ve been living by doing odd jobs all these years,” the girl said, hugging Su Jiu tightly, resting her chin on Su Jiu’s shoulder, and closing her eyes.
Hearing this, Su Jiu was silent for a long time. The girl’s words reminded her of children in mountainous areas, and her resolve softened. She said with a wry smile: “Alright, let go of me first, tell me your name, and then take me to find an Inn.”
“Yun Xi, my name is Yun Xi!” Yun Xi let go of Su Jiu, then wiped her tears, and forced out a heart-wrenching smile, pointing forward and saying: “Sister, there’s an Inn ahead! It’s very cool inside, with air conditioning!”
Looking at her, Su Jiu shook her head and said with a helpless smile: “Okay, you can call me Su Jiu from now on. Lead the way.”
Nodding, Yun Xi came back and hugged Su Jiu’s arm, as if they were lovers who had known each other for a long time, making Su Jiu a little embarrassed.
Soon, led by Yun Xi, they arrived at a place that looked like a guesthouse. Under the strange glances of some people, Su Jiu said: “Two rooms.”
“Two rooms? Little sister, the rooms were all booked up a few hours ago, there’s only one single bed left.”
The proprietress was a pure Floridian white woman, slightly plump, and gave a very warm impression. She smilingly placed the room key cards in front of Su Jiu and the girl, saying: “You two little girls sleep in one bed, nothing will happen. I’ll give you a discount, only $25.”
“Forget it, we’ll go somewhere else…”
Su Jiu was about to refuse, thinking it wasn’t good for them to be so close, as they had only just met.
At this moment, Yun Xi, who was holding her arm, suddenly spoke, giving a pitiful impression: “Jiu Jie, don’t worry about me, I can sleep on the floor.”
Yun Xi’s voice was soft, somewhat similar to E Huo’s voice.
Sighing, Su Jiu petted her head and said with some distress: “What are you saying? If we stay, we’ll sleep together.”
“Yes, Jiu Jie, as long as you don’t mind me being dirty.”
Responding, Yun Xi lowered her head slightly, her lips curving upwards, her faint eyebrows bending like the moon, revealing a small mole on her right cheek hidden by her hair.
As many people looked over, Su Jiu’s face turned a little red. She quickly swiped her card to pay, grabbed Yun Xi’s fair wrist, and went upstairs. As they walked, she said earnestly:
“Don’t say such things in the future. We are all Blood Clan, don’t be so inferior. When you cultivate to Battle General, Battle King… you can still live without starving.”
“Are you also a Blood Clan, Sister?” Yun Xi asked.
Su Jiu glanced at her and said somewhat fiercely: “Yes, I was infected by a bad woman…”
“Bad woman?”
A red light flashed in Yun Xi’s eyes, and she said faintly, seemingly a little displeased.
Then, Su Jiu seemed to change the subject, opened the door, and said self-deprecatingly: “However, without her, I probably would have died several times… She is probably, in this world, my most…”
“Most what?”
Yun Xi was stunned for a moment. The hand she had around Su Jiu’s arm seemed to tighten, and she inexplicably giggled, her eyebrows curved exquisitely and beautifully.
“Children shouldn’t ask so many questions! Go take a bath, I have spare clothes in my suitcase.”
“Roar.”
…
In a coffee shop far from here, an old man with a goatee dressed as a butler was playing with dozens of hotel room key cards on the table, carelessly shuffling them like poker cards.
Two figures in white coats were half-stooped, as if expecting a reward.
The goatee butler waved his hand, then looked at the prying eyes around him and said faintly: “Take Miss Jiu’s money and get out! You too!”
As he spoke, a Battle King Level aura pressed down all around. The vampires and Corpse Demons scattered in all directions.
