Mystery: The Undead Don't Die from Linking the Fire

Chapter 35 I'll come to your house tonight to satisfy your needs.

Villa of Viscount Grelint in Queensbackland.

In the afternoon, Audrey Hall arrived at the hall with her personal maid, Anne, but she was not there to attend the ball; she was there to find someone.

Fortunately.

She spotted her target at a glance—

At that moment, Yu Jin was sitting on a sofa not far away, reading a book.

"Mr. Ash."

Audrey walked over with small, quick steps, pursed her lips, and sat down next to Ember.

"Miss Audrey, is there something you need?"

Yu Jin turned around and looked at the girl politely but with surprise.

"that……"

Audrey stretched out her delicate white hand to show Ember the ring on her right pinky finger, and whispered, "I'm sorry, it's been here since the last party, and I don't know why."

"I originally intended to return it to you that day, but I only found the opportunity now. I'm really sorry."

As Audrey spoke, she suddenly lowered her head in shame.

In her opinion, Yu Jin would be extremely anxious if he lost something so important.

That's why she was thinking of finding Ember as soon as possible and returning the ring.

However, she and Ember did not have a direct way to contact each other. She only knew that Ember was a night watchman of the Church of the Night, but she did not know where he lived. She couldn't just go to St. Samuel's Church to find him, could she?

She knew it would be useless even if she went, since Ember wasn't living in the church.

It wasn't until Grelint held another ball that she finally got the chance to meet Ember.

"No, you don't need to pay it back."

Yu Jin reached out and placed his hand on the girl's hand, stopping her from taking off the ring. "Consider this ring a prepayment for your exhibit. You can wear it for now. If you ever need it, you can pay me back then."

"But this is too precious..."

Audrey hesitated, wanting to refuse.

The value of the exhibit is to be displayed; to put it bluntly, it's to use it as a "test subject."

But how many people are willing to be these experimental subjects?

"No need to refuse."

Ember shook his head and said, "The value of a sacrifice depends on the person being saved, but for me, it's not very valuable. It's not worthless, but it's better than nothing."

"and."

With a flick of his wrist, two crude emerald rings appeared in his palm. As the girl's mouth gaped open in surprise, he calmly said, "I have more rings like these here, and I don't need another one."

"That……"

Audrey pursed her lips, hesitated for a long while, and then whispered, "If that's the case, then I'll accept it. But..."

Audrey paused, then continued, "I will pay Mr. Ash one thousand gold pounds for every month I wear it. If the ring is damaged or 'lost' because of me, I will pay you ten thousand gold pounds in one lump sum. Is that alright?"

Although ten thousand gold pounds was a huge sum of money, Audrey was still somewhat uneasy.

Because in her view, the ring was worth far more than that.

But after all, she is still a minor.

If she waits until she comes of age, although she will not be able to inherit the title, the wealth her father left her will be at least 300,000 gold pounds.

But for her now, her allowance is only 10,000 gold pounds.

Therefore, he could only pay 10,000 gold pounds at once, and the rest could only be paid in installments.

"All right."

Yu Jin stared at the girl for a long while before nodding helplessly in the face of her resolute gaze.

However, his expression was slightly strange.

Am I being kept by a sugar daddy/sugar baby?

"One thousand gold pounds every month? And a ring?!"

Not far behind, following her maid duties, Anne, who did not get too close or try to eavesdrop, was surprised to hear some indistinct conversation because Audrey's voice was not deliberately lowered. Her mouth dropped open.

She didn't hear everything the two of them were saying.

But she could guess from the few words she heard.

It seems my young lady wants to keep that pretty boy as a mistress? And they've even secretly pledged their lives to each other?

How can this be allowed! Miss Audrey, you are a noblewoman, the only daughter of Earl Hall!

Anne gritted her teeth and suppressed the urge to step forward and dissuade her.

She was just a maid, and interfering in her master's affairs was undoubtedly presumptuous.

But she couldn't just stand by and watch Miss Audrey fall into the abyss, so...

"I'm sorry, Miss Audrey."

The maid Anne lowered her head silently, beginning to think about how to report what had happened here to Earl Hall without leaving a trace.

"Miss Audrey."

Wearing a beige high-necked long dress, Fors approached the two with a gentle smile. "I'd like to borrow Mr. Ash for a moment. You wouldn't mind, would you?"

"Of course I don't mind."

A hint of surprise flashed in Audrey's eyes, but she quickly put on a polite smile and gracefully stood up from the sofa, adjusting her long dress. "I'm going to the restroom, excuse me for a moment."

Audrey remembered that Ms. Fors seemed to be in bad shape and was close to losing control.

From the current perspective, although Ember did not choose to capture him, the two sides must have already established some kind of connection.

Although Ms. Fors was smiling, there was a lingering gloom and anxiety in her eyes.

He must have something urgent to discuss with Yu Jin.

Is he like her?

Fors watched Audrey leave with a smile, then gracefully sat down next to Ember, before suddenly turning her gaze to Ember and staring intently at him.

"What's up?"

Yu Jin was a little confused by the look he was getting, and asked.

"You haven't forgotten, have you?"

Fors' eyes widened, and she gritted her teeth, somewhat annoyed, saying, "Today is July 25th, you promised me!"

"I haven't forgotten."

Yu Jin gazed at her calmly and said unhurriedly, "But you only have this need at night, right? I'll come to your house tonight to help you take care of it. Any other questions?"

"no."

Fors hesitated, feeling as if he had punched a cotton ball, and his spirits immediately deflated.

I only hear the babbling during the full moon, and the other person just needs to come to my house before the full moon to help solve the problem.

After all.

Although I am the one tormented by the delirium, the one who least wants to lose control is probably the other person.

After all, if one loses control, the other party will have to bear the consequences of the chaos.

On the contrary, the other party was willing to take her, an extraordinary person who could lose control at any time, as an informant, and was even willing to risk losing control to help her get rid of the torment of delirium. In this case, she was the one who owed him a favor.

Doesn't that mean I owe him something?

Thinking about this, Fors suddenly felt a little guilty.

If you're clearly in the wrong but still cause trouble, what if the other party gets angry and gives up on 'treatment' and arrests you directly?

"sorry."

Ms. Fors said softly from the bottom of her heart.

"It's okay."

Ember replied casually, clearly not taking it seriously.

However, not far behind, Ms. Xiu, who was only 1.5 meters tall, couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"Tonight? At my place? To satisfy my needs? And then I have to apologize?!"

"Fors, what are you doing, Fors?!"

She seemed to have heard something incredible.
