Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Chapter 69 The Piano Player in the Cafe

"Wow!" Kailin exclaimed as she looked at the corpses and red-stained walls in the room. "Oh my God, is this still the Miss Xueqi we knew?"

"What a cruel Blood Princess." Mo Yan shook his head and sighed.

At this time, Li Xueqi turned and walked towards the two of them. She smiled at them and said, "I'm sorry, I scared you. I'm clearly a guest, but I got you involved in this dispute."

Kailin looked at Li Xueqi, shook her head and said, "It's okay, but if you want to talk about being involved, we've been involved since we came to Xuanyue."

"That's right." Mo Yan echoed from the side.

"Really?" Li Xueqi lowered her head in thought and smiled. "It's a pity that she got away, but it doesn't matter. I'll let her go this time. The next time we meet, I'll cut off one of her arms."

She rubbed her fingers together and spoke elegantly, but with a murderous look in her eyes. Coupled with the scene in the room, Kailin and Mo Yan were eager to leave.

"Okay, please go back first. I will ask someone to deal with this place later." Li Xueqi smiled again.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

After the group separated, Tianlang brought Zixuan and Zhao Heng to a café in Chicheng. Inside, many well-dressed people sat together, some chatting, some drinking tea, and some dancing. If it weren't for the eccentricity of the times, the two would have felt a bit out of place.

The three of them walked in the museum, chose a secluded place, and then sat down.

"Why did you bring us here?" Zhao Heng looked around and then asked Tianlang.

"Don't worry, you'll know in a moment." Tianlang smiled and then looked at the counter behind him. "Look at the time, it should be about to start now."

As soon as he finished speaking, bursts of piano sounds suddenly rang out in the museum, like ripples splashing in the water, sometimes peaceful, sometimes passionate.

Some people danced gracefully to the sound of the piano, some were immersed in it, some were whispering, and some were singing softly. Various emotions were interwoven to create a beautiful picture.

At this moment, Zhao Heng and Zi Xuan seemed to understand why Tianlang had gone to such great lengths to bring them here.

"I didn't expect that you still have this kind of leisure time?" Zhao Heng said with his arms folded.

Tianlang chuckled softly and said, "Haha, you're flattered. This cafe is a specialty of Akagi. Almost all the nobles come here. The soft and elegant melody makes socializing easy."

"So that's how it is." Zixuan said.

At this time, the rhythm of the piano music changed from its original gentleness to sentimental and sad, tender as water. Some nobles even burst into tears while listening to the piano music.

Listening to the music and looking at the situation in front of them, Zhao Heng and Zi Xuan began to enjoy it.

Zhao Heng nodded rhythmically and couldn't help but sigh, "This is so moving and infatuating. I'm sure the person playing the zither must be a woman with deep feelings."

"Puchi!" Suddenly, Tianlang almost laughed out loud.

"Huh? What are you laughing at?" Zi Xuan asked.

"Nothing, it's just that almost everyone thinks so." Tianlang smiled while trying to suppress his laughter.

"Basically? Could it be that what Zhao Heng said is wrong?"

Tianlang hissed softly and said, "We have to leave some mystery for the audience. And if you're really curious, I can introduce you."

"Ah? Do you know this pianist?" Zi Xuan was stunned for a moment.

Tianlang smiled slightly and said, "Of course, but please allow me to leave for a while."

After he finished speaking, he left his seat and walked to the stairs next to the counter. Tianlang talked with an older housekeeper and was then led into the room. At this moment, Zixuan was stunned again.

"No, he really knows the people here?" He looked at Zhao Heng and complained.

But Zhao Heng just shrugged and didn't answer.

A moment later, the piano music in the building suddenly stopped, and the joy of all the nobles who were dancing and enjoying themselves was instantly interrupted. They looked in the direction of the counter and began to question.

"What happened? Why did the piano music suddenly stop?"

The whole audience was talking.

At this time, the housekeeper who brought Tianlang upstairs came downstairs and came to Zixuan and Zhao Heng.

He bowed to the two of them, then said politely, "You must be Mr. Zhao Heng and Miss Zixuan, right? I'm here on my father's orders to invite you upstairs."

"Sir?" The two were stunned.

This is a name for men, but in the original world, it was also a name for female actors.

Out of curiosity, Zixuan and Zhao Heng followed the butler upstairs under the gaze of the nobles.

The stairs are curved and you can reach it by turning a corner.

The housekeeper opened the door and stood aside: "Master, I have brought the person here."

"Very good, you can step back now." A kind male voice came from inside the house.

When the two stepped into the house, they were greeted by various musical instruments. At this time, Tianlang was sitting on the sofa, and sitting on the sofa next to him was a man with green hair, wearing vampire costume, and looked to be about 40 years old.

He sipped red wine and spoke and behaved very elegantly.

At this moment, the two of them just froze in place.

Wait, he's the one playing the piano? It would be fine if it wasn't a woman, but who would have thought such a tender and sentimental tune would be played by such a sentimental uncle.

"You two don't have to stand there, come in and sit down." The man smiled, his left hand leaning to the side.

"Oh...thank you." Zi Xuan nodded hesitantly and sat with Zhao Heng in the position pointed out.

At this time, Tianlang, who was sitting opposite, smiled and said, "Please allow me to introduce you. This is the pianist we just talked about, Mr. Dracula."

"Hello, both of you." Dracula said with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Dracula, nice to meet you..." Zixuan was a little dazed.

When she heard the name Dracula, the first person she thought of was the famous vampire in her own world, but it couldn't be the same person.

"Judging from your appearance, are you also a contractor?" Zi Xuan asked.

Dracula chuckled softly and said, "Haha, you could say that."

"You may not know that Mr. Dracula has been alive for hundreds of years, and he is not a human being, but a vampire." Tianlang smiled.

"Bloodlines?"

"They're what people often call vampires," Dracula explained. "But people completely misunderstand us. We just enjoy eating blood, yet we've been labeled as dark. Honestly, even if we're cannibals, we're still far inferior to them."

"They?" Zi Xuan asked in confusion.

I heard Tianlang say before that there were nobles here who exploited the common people, causing them to be drained dry by the Blood Princess Li Xueqi and abandoned on the streets to fend for themselves. Could he be talking about these people?

"So that's how it is. Mr. Dracula is really deeply in love." Zi Xuan sighed.

"Oh, what do you mean?" Dracula asked with a smile.

At this time, Tianlang beside him replied: "It is true. When my two friends first heard your piano playing, they thought you were a woman."

"That's right." Dracula smiled calmly. "Almost everyone used to think so, but as time went on, they came to understand. After all, they liked the sound of my piano, not me."

After hearing this, Zixuan and Zhao Heng fell silent. They were confused and understood at the same time. But just as they were about to start the next topic, bursts of noise suddenly came from outside the house.
