Even hybrid monsters have their day

Xu Ruwen naturally knew who she was asking about, and said, "Yes, we exchanged a few blows, and he took the opportunity to escape." Then he asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why did you believe him?"

This puzzled him greatly. Peng Yuxian and Qiu Pi each had their own version of events, and both of their statements sounded reasonable. It was impossible to tell from the surface who was telling the truth and who was lying. So why would Geng Miaowan choose to believe Peng Yuxian?

Geng Miaowan gave a cold snort, "I don't believe either of them."

"Then why did you help him?" Xu Ruwen asked in surprise.

Geng Miaowan turned her head to look out the window. The pale yellow curtains blocked out the thick darkness of the night, but the darkness also made the pale yellow curtains appear heavy. Just like the things she had encountered, they always seemed to be shrouded in a mist, making it impossible to see the truth, yet it seemed as if what she saw was the truth.

"Because only by making them feel that I trust them can I know the secrets they don't want outsiders to know." When Geng Miaowan said this, her expression was extremely calm, a demeanor that did not seem to belong to a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.

However, she wasn't actually sixteen or seventeen years old; she was a female demon over a hundred years old...

Xu Ruwen had never seen Geng Miaowan like this before. After experiencing so many things, she seemed to have slowly grown up, from an ignorant girl into a thoughtful and mature adult. This kind of growth was something he was happy to see, and it was also an experience she had to go through in her life.

"But that slap of yours really hit hard. Just looking at the mark on his face makes me feel a little pain." He winked at him teasingly.

Geng Miaowan curled her lips in disdain, "It's his good brother's fault for not telling us that we were surrounded by vampires. We almost died. Consider this slap as him paying back for it."

If she hadn't known he was truly insincere at the time, she would never have let it go so easily with just a slap.

Even now, she still feels lingering fear when she thinks about what happened that night.

If it weren't for the striking resemblance between Qiu Pi's appearance after contracting the virus that night and the mummified corpse in the news, she might very well have been convinced that he was the one who did it. But no one would risk their life, so at that moment, she chose to save him, even secretly wanting to believe him. Just that one time.

"By the way, is there any news about Luan Hao?"

To avoid arousing suspicion, Xu Ruwen sat in a chair with his eyes closed, feigning sleep, but his voice still reached Geng Miaowan's ears, "We found some traces in the northeast. However, we're not sure if it's him, so Ao Han went to investigate."

Geng Miaowan sighed softly. She knew that if Luan Hao wanted to avoid her, they wouldn't be able to find him no matter how hard they searched. And even if they found him, what could they do? Force him back into her body? That would be ridiculous.

Qiu Pi acted swiftly; barely dawn, he sent someone to inform her that she could be discharged and brought her to the villa. The villa was located in a bustling area of ​​the city. It occupied a large area, but it was quite far from their previous hotel, and even further from the suburbs.

Geng Miaowan stayed at the villa for several days at a time. Qiu Pi didn't return to the villa every day; he was usually very busy, and she would only occasionally see him during dinner. When he did return to the villa, he would chat with her for a few minutes, but he never revealed what he was busy with. Basically, as long as she didn't leave the villa, Qiu Pi didn't care what she was doing.

She usually stayed in the villa and didn't go out, spending her time reading and sunbathing. Although her body had fully recovered, she could only gather a little bit of spiritual energy. So when Qiu Pi wasn't at the villa, she spent most of her time cultivating, cultivating desperately. However, the results were minimal.

Looking at the dwindling spiritual energy within her body, Geng Miaowan stood up somewhat dejectedly.

She had been in this space for over a month, but the mission had made absolutely no progress. Although she felt that this mission was inextricably linked to the two vampires, Qiu Pi and Peng Yuxian, and that she had successfully infiltrated their ranks, she had not discovered anything.

Both of them were incredibly shrewd; they seemed to have no suspicion of her whatsoever, but in reality, they were never truly at ease with her.

She walked to the window, looking at the pitch-black night outside, her eyes filled with a darkness even deeper than the night itself.

"Ruwen." She called out to Xu Ruwen in her mind, because he was sleeping next to her, so there was a quick response. "Tomorrow, do something for me."

The following evening, Qiu Pi finished his work and returned to the villa for dinner.

He rarely returned to the villa before, and since becoming a vampire, although he could still eat human food, he no longer particularly enjoyed it. However, ever since Geng Miaowan moved in, he would think of returning to the villa after finishing his work, having a meal with her, and chatting for a while. This kept him in a good mood for several days.

This feeling was inexplicable; it was something he had never experienced before.

Geng Miaowan doesn't particularly enjoy chatting during meals, so she rarely initiates conversation. However, today, after taking a few bites, she unusually spoke up, "Mr. Qiu, I'd like to go out tomorrow."

"Oh? Where are you going?" Qiu Pi asked casually. He elegantly picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks, his eyes fixed on the plate in front of him without moving, as if he didn't care at all where she was going, and that he had only asked the question casually.

Geng Miaowan continued eating, saying, "I just feel a bit bored staying in the villa all the time, so I want to go out for a walk."

"It's good to go out for a walk. You can have the driver take you. Just tell him where you want to go."

"No need, I just want to wander around by myself, I don't have any specific place I want to go."

Qiu Pi looked up at her, his glasses obscuring her eyes. He quickly looked down again and said nonchalantly, "Okay, then be careful. Call me if anything happens."

"Well, I will."

The two finished their brief chat while eating.

Geng Miaowan finished eating quickly. She adjusted her skirt and stood up naturally. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a note slide onto the chair she was sitting on as she moved. However, she didn't pick it up and walked towards the living room.

But she hadn't taken more than a few steps before she hurriedly returned to her seat. (To be continued.)
