Chapter 831: Vampire Bites
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Chi Shuyan thought that her father would ask her more questions that night. Who would have thought that he would just make sure that she still had a lot of good stuff for herself. Only when she told him that the Nourishment Pills was something that she had tried refining herself did he hurriedly take them; he didn’t ask anything else.
It was just that Father Chi felt uneasy no matter where he hid them.
Chi Shuyan pursed her lips and could only advise, “Dad, eat this rice yourself. Don’t share it with anyone else. You can share the other things if you want!”
A few days passed in the blink of an eye. Thanks to Father Chi, Chi Shuyan’s stay in the military district was pretty good. Her father even took some days off. She also didn’t need to do anything. When Shen Rongyin came to look for her from time to time, Chi Shuyan’s father took care to avoid her, and never met her alone.
Chi Shuyan felt that Uncle Wei and Aunt Wei’s words back then were now too ingrained in her father’s heart. Seeing that he really wasn’t enamored by the woman, Chi Shuyan finally heaved a sigh of relief. When Shen Rongyin came to find her these days, Chi Shuyan didn’t notice anything strange; who knew if it was because the woman was too good at hiding or pretending.
Early one morning, an emergency alarm suddenly rang out in the military district. Chi Shuyan’s father rushed out early in the morning for an emergency meeting.
At around 10am in the morning, Chi Shuyan saw her father return with a solemn face. She was very curious to know what was going on.
Before Chi Lingyan left again, he just told his daughter not to leave the military district and not to go out for the next few days. If she wanted to go back, she had to wait for him first to personally see her off.
Chi Shuyan was a bit worried when she saw her father’s expression. “Dad, what on earth happened?” Seeing that her father didn’t speak, Chi Shuyan said, “Dad, don’t treat me like a child. Didn’t I say that I was taken in by a particularly powerful master? If you tell me, I might be able to give you some useful advice!”
Before Chi Lingyan left, he suddenly said, “Yan Yan, do you think there are vampires in this world? Has your master ever mentioned them to you?”
“Vampires?” Chi Shuyan was a bit surprised. In her past life and this life, she had seen all sorts of evil spirits, malicious spirits, and living corpses, but she truly had never seen anything like a vampire. She had only heard of them.
She also looked a little solemn. “Dad, what on earth is going on? Can you tell me? My master once told me that there are all sorts of strange things in this world, and there are indeed vampires. Vampires are similar to the living dead!”
Although Chi Lingyan had already accepted that his daughter had been taken in by a Celestial Master, he still couldn’t accept that there were things like ghosts and vampires in this world. However, when he heard his daughter’s words, Chi Lingyan’s face was unusually solemn.
Moreover, he felt that his daughter had only just been taken in by the Celestial Master, so her cultivation level and abilities were definitely insufficient. Afraid that she would be targeted by those vampires when she went out, he hurriedly exhorted again, “Yan Yan, stay at home for the next few days. Don’t go out and make Dad worry, okay?”
Seeing that his daughter still wanted to ask what on earth was going on, Chi Lingyan told her that although it was a secret, the military wouldn’t be able to hide it for long. He also wanted his daughter to know how serious the matter was, so he simply told her that several vampires had appeared in a nearby county and village in the last night or two, and that they had been seen sucking blood and biting people to death.
No one would have believed this, but there was video proof, so Chi Lingyan had to believe that vampires really existed in this world.
Chi Lingyan had to leave. Before he did so, he stressed, “Yan Yan, stay at home! Wait for me to come back!”
