Chapter 74 The Ancient Castle in the Forest
Lu Wenli stared in disbelief at the scene before him: dense forests, a gloomy ancient castle, and flocks of crows flying by—it was like something out of a horror movie.
[It's like filming a horror movie.]
I feel a little cold, so I'm pulling my blanket tighter around me.
"You all wait outside, I'm going in," Chang Xi said, stepping inside.
The production crew followed.
Chang Xi frowned. "Director, are you sure you want so many people to go in? I don't know the situation of those vampires yet. To be honest, I'm not sure I can protect you. If anything happens, I won't be responsible."
After thinking it over, Hao Ren only allowed a few skilled martial artists to follow him, while the others stayed outside.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, we finally saw an ancient castle. It looked quite old, and the castle gates were tightly closed, giving it a somber appearance.
"Hello, is anyone home?" Huo Dongjun stepped forward and knocked on the castle gate.
The door was opened a crack, and a pair of old, cloudy eyes appeared in the crack, startling Huo Dongjun so much that he took a half step back.
"Hello, we are a travel filming crew. We went into the mountains to film and lost track of time. It's getting dark and we can't get out now. Could we stay overnight?" Chang Xi stepped forward and politely offered a discount.
The butler's indifferent emerald eyes swept over everyone as he said, "Then come in."
Everyone followed the butler into the castle.
"There are eleven people in this castle," the butler explained. "Don't wander around unless necessary. The castle is full of traps and we won't be responsible for any injuries."
The maids in the castle had already prepared the meal, and the dim candlelight illuminated everyone's faces.
"These maids look so fair-skinned!" a female photographer whispered. "I wonder what they eat?"
After gesturing for everyone to take their seats, the butler sat down in the head seat himself.
Chang Xi glanced at it casually and asked, "Where is the owner of the castle? We would like to express our gratitude to him."
The butler cut the steak on the plate, the steak bleeding and looking like raw meat in the dim candlelight.
"The master doesn't like seeing outsiders and entrusted me to take good care of everyone. There's no need for you to thank me personally." The butler raised his wine glass and said, "On behalf of the castle, I welcome you all."
Everyone raised their glasses.
Chang Xi stared blankly at the scarlet, viscous liquid in the wine glass.
Is this alcohol?
[Isn't alcohol supposed to be this viscous?]
This looks like blood. I'm a doctor.
"Master, why does this wine have a fishy smell?" Lu Wenli had drunk many fine wines, but he had never seen one like this before.
"Why isn't everyone drinking?" The butler took the first sip, his pale lips turning bright red, and his emerald green eyes held a hint of oppression.
The others were too embarrassed to ask what kind of wine it was, so they downed it in one gulp.
Chang Xi brought the wine glass to his lips and gently slid it down his throat.
She picked up a napkin and wiped her mouth.
"This wine is actually quite good!" one of the men filming exclaimed. "Aside from the initial fishy taste, it gets better and better as you drink it."
Lu Wenli thought so too, and took several sips.
"Everyone, I'll take you to your rooms after you've finished eating."
The maid raised her hand, gesturing for everyone to follow her.
"You can choose any room on this floor, but don't go to the fourth floor. That's the master's area, and he'll be unhappy if outsiders go in. You also can't go to the back of the castle; that's forbidden territory."
The maid left after giving her instructions.
Chang Xi casually picked a room, and soon everyone arrived uninvited.
"Chang Xi, how's your room?" Gu Qingfeng asked her.
"It's alright," Chang Xi said.
"Master, I noticed you didn't eat much just now. Do you not like it?"
Chang Xi raised an eyebrow and asked, "You like it a lot? How about the wine?"
"Not bad, the taste lingers on the lips and teeth." Lu Wenli recalled for a moment, then felt a little hungry again.
Chang Xi patted his shoulder and said, "If you like it, drink more. After all, you can't drink human blood just anywhere."
"What?" Lu Wenli froze, looking at Huo Dongjun beside him in disbelief.
Huo Dongjun shrugged and said, "What are you looking at? I only smeared a little on my lips, just like Chang Xi, and then wiped it off with a napkin."
Yan Feishuang shrugged. "I didn't drink it either. As someone whose ancestors were tomb raiders, I still have some ability to distinguish blood."
"vomit--"
The others rushed out and found the toilet, where they vomited violently.
It took a long time before they returned, looking pale and sickly.
What kind of kind family would use human blood to entertain guests?
[Could this be a vampire den?]
[Shut upstairs, I'm scared.]
It made me want to throw up.
"Go back to sleep after you've vomited," Chang Xi said, handing out a few talismans to those without spiritual power. "Don't sleep too soundly tonight, and keep an eye on your neighbors. This castle looks very old, and the soundproofing isn't very good."
If there's any danger, shouting for help will be heard.
"it is good."
"Good night," Huo Dongjun said, the last to leave, closing the door behind him.
Wow, it's so sweet!
[This is so exciting, I can't sleep at all.]
I've decided to take a gamble; I think I'll stumble upon something big tonight.
"Then I'll squat down too."
The ancient castle grew even colder in the dead of night.
A gust of wind blew by, lifting the white curtains.
Lu Wenli couldn't sleep soundly, always feeling that someone in high heels was walking back and forth outside.
In my drowsy state, I heard the sound of the door opening and closing again.
Its daybreak.
Chang Xi finished tidying up and went downstairs for dinner. Noticing the light blue circles under Lu Wenli's eyes, she asked, "Didn't you sleep well?"
"Don't even mention it, I listened to footsteps all night long," Lu Wenli said, not daring to touch the wine on the table or eat the meat, and instead munching on bread like Chang Xi. "I don't know who's so inconsiderate as to stay up all night and walk around in the corridor."
The young master acted as if he'd gone to steal a dog.
I'm not drinking today.
Anyone who knew it was human blood would find it unpalatable.
"High heels," Chang Xi muttered to herself, tearing bread in her hands.
"Hey, where's Jack?" the female camerawoman asked, noticing someone was missing from the table.
"I don't know, maybe he's still asleep?" the male photographer said while eating meat heartily. "He always gets up late."
Chang Xi, not seeing any maids, asked, "Where are the maids from the castle?"
"I don't know, we didn't see him when we came down, he was probably busy with something else," Huo Dongjun guessed.
Yan Feishuang, sitting opposite her, chuckled upon hearing this, "What's wrong? Are you having trouble getting used to not having a maid to serve you?"
Chang Xi looked at her and laughed, "Yes, it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. It's really nice to have experienced the life of the rich."
Gu Qingfeng tilted his head. "You can actually have it too, don't you want it?"
As long as she agrees to return to the Gu family and acknowledge her ancestors.
Chang Xi smiled faintly, toying with the knife in his hand, and said, "Go play somewhere else."
Why does it seem like Gu Qingfeng is treating Chang Xi so differently? Doesn't he already have a girlfriend?
[Could she have taken a liking to Chang Xi?]
To be honest, these two do look somewhat like a married couple.
After they finished their meal, they wandered around the castle.
"Master, what are we looking for?" Lu Wenli asked as they wandered around.
