Chapter 65 The Leather Hat Saved My Life

The midday sun was shining brightly.

Inside the Gothic castle with its pointed roof, a room is shrouded in darkness.

Thick velvet curtains blocked out all the sunlight, with only the ornate gilded candlesticks burning with carved candles illuminating the dim room.

The luxurious and sophisticated sofas and carpets, the medieval-style fireplace and bookshelves make the room seem as if it has traveled through time, creating a stark contrast with the bustling traffic outside the window.

At this moment, a man with blond hair reflected the candlelight, his handsome face obscured by shadows, his slender fingers lightly touching his forehead, sat lazily on a leather sofa.

Only a pair of scarlet, ruby-like eyes pierced through the shadows, staring directly at the woman kneeling before him.

The woman had her white hair tied back, and her slightly dim red eyes darted around, making her look both panicked and guilty.

at this time.

The blond youth, who had been silent for a long time without responding, suddenly spoke, startling the girl who was waiting, unaware of what was going on.

"How's the task I assigned you going? Now that you've come back to see me, there must be progress?"

Hearing the man's calm words, Li An lowered his head even further and nodded somewhat guiltily.

“Yes…yes, Master. You instructed me to expand the clan, and I have done as you commanded, selecting some greedy humans to bless and transform them into vampires…”

Ang Lee's voice grew softer and softer, revealing his cautiousness.

However, what she didn't see, with her head down, was that Dracula, played by Lü Gu, was sitting on the sofa, looking at her with a smile in his eyes.

I just felt that this girl really had no social experience at all. I thought back to when I was a seasoned office worker.

The key point when reporting to your superiors is that no matter how well you do, you must always present yourself as if you are doing a very good job.

Otherwise, if she's so timid and lacks confidence, even if she does well, her boss will still think she's like that.

They probably also wonder if there are any loopholes in the work they did that they didn't see, otherwise why would the employees be so guilty?
It's easy to understand if you think about it for a moment.

According to previous inquiries, this girl named Li An is also a typical second-generation rich kid who has been studying for a while.

He was sent by his family to study in the United States to gain prestige, but unexpectedly, he ran into his own accident while traveling with friends.

Lu Gu shook his head and smiled. Even a fool could tell that the task assigned to him had not been completed well.

I didn't feel angry, but I still need to maintain the image of Dracula, the vampire king.

After all, Dracula in the legends is not a generous and kind person.

He then cleared his throat.

His face returned to that dangerous smile, and he leaned forward from his chair to stand up.

He walked up to the trembling girl, bent down, and spoke in a tone that was meant to frighten a child.

"I hope this deception only happens this once, don't you think, ma'am?"

At this moment, Li An had gone from kneeling to sitting on the ground, having just heard the man's footsteps as he stepped off the sofa and approached on the ground.

She knew in her heart that it was all over; clearly, her little schemes couldn't be hidden from this enigmatic Count Dracula.

Just when Ang Lee felt like he was about to wet himself in fear, he heard a playful tone in his ear and breathed a sigh of relief.

He slumped to the ground, beads of cold sweat beading on his forehead, but he understood what was being said.

It seems I've been spared this time, but there obviously won't be a next chance.

Having figured all this out, she quickly rallied and got back to her feet, promising in the most sincere tone she could muster, "I understand, Master! I will definitely complete the task you've given me this time!"

Lu Gu smiled as he watched the girl in front of him quickly accept reality, and couldn't help but sigh that she was not a simple spoiled brat; at least her mindset had changed quite well.

He then reached into his pocket, pulled out a handkerchief, and handed it to the trembling Ang Lee.

"Wipe your sweat, ma'am. Am I that scary? Since you're confident you can do it, go for it. I'll be waiting for your good news."

After doing all this, Lü Gu turned around and sat back on the sofa, picked up the red wine that had been poured, swirled it, and looked at the beautiful liquid, which shimmered with a charming color under the candlelight.

Then, quite pretentiously, he took a sip.

next moment.

He placed the wine glass back on the table again, expressionless, and glanced at Li An, who was standing there dumbfounded, clutching the handkerchief he had just given him.

"What are you still standing there for? Have you forgotten everything I taught you before?"

Just as Li An's emotions had begun to calm down, he somehow noticed that the other person's tone had turned cold again.

She shuddered and, not daring to hide anything, pleaded in a voice that sounded like she was about to cry.

"Master, it's noon outside, I'll die if I go out..."

It's understandable that she was so scared; when she was first turned into a vampire, she didn't really care.

The moment she stepped out of the hotel, she felt as if her whole body was immersed in boiling water, and an intense burning sensation swept through her entire body.

Then I felt life slipping away rapidly, as if a few seconds later I would have been reduced to ashes by the scorching sun.

Fortunately, his companion noticed something was wrong and quickly pulled him back.

The whole process took less than a second, but by then, there were already cracks and bloodstains on the skin.

According to their friends, they even saw flames burning above their heads.

Since then, Ang Lee has been wearing a heavy sun hat and sunglasses, but even so, he still gets sunburned when standing in the sun.

It was as if nothing one wore could stop the sunlight from punishing evil creatures.

Unfortunately, they ended up having to stay inside buildings during the day and travel at night.

These experiences of being scorched by the sun have truly terrified her.

Meanwhile, the girl was sweating profusely, as if he were about to force her to be cremated.

Considering what his subordinate had just said, Lü Gu fell silent for a moment.

An awkward moment quietly arose, but he crushed it the next instant.

There was really no other way. Now that we were in this godforsaken place, once the curtains were drawn, we couldn't feel the difference between day and night at all. Lu Gu thought it was nighttime outside.

However, despite the awkwardness, how could I, as the apparent host, show any stage fright?

He then maintained his deadpan expression, reached into his pocket, and pulled out a Minecraft leather hat.

The next moment, the item editor started up, and the leather hat transformed into a rather gorgeous ladies' sun hat in a series of pixel changes.

Then, Lü Gu handed it to the timid little maid in front of him who dared not raise her head.

"Oh dear, madam, you're quite the coward. Take this; this magical item will protect you from the scorching sun. However, the magic within is limited; it will lose its effect when the hat is riddled with cracks."
