Mr. Satan, let's meet tonight!

As they spoke, they walked out of the passageway.

The autumn wind at night stung my face.

Si Chengxiao pulled his coat tighter, looked up at the sky, and murmured, "Red Moon..."

“Yeah, we were all talking about this outside just now,” Yin Xiu said jokingly. “I heard that a red moon is also called a blood moon. Legend has it that the appearance of such a moon is a sign of the awakening of dark forces. It seems to appear often in movies about vampires and werewolves.”

Before he could finish speaking, a bodyguard interrupted, "Assistant Yin, a bed cannot be brought on the plane. Are we going to carry the gentleman up?"

"Young Master and I will take care of it. You two go up first."

"Yes."

Yin Xiuzheng was about to lift the blanket and help the man on the bed up when a gust of wind suddenly swept in.

Countless rose petals drifted down from the sky, their fragrance overwhelming everyone's sense of smell, leaving them feeling slightly dizzy.

At this moment, Si Tingye suddenly opened his eyes.

Si Chengxiao was naturally happy to notice that he had woken up.

But just as he was about to say something, his expression changed drastically.

The man's pupils had changed from amber to...purple-gold, and beneath his thin lips were a pair of conspicuous sharp teeth.

Since meeting Shang Xi and Ace here, this appearance is no longer unfamiliar to Si Chengxiao.

It is... a vampire.

The only thing that's special is the color of its eyes.

It wasn't that dazzling red, but a deep purple with a layer of light gold on top.

If it weren't for the lights everywhere, we might not have noticed this detail at all.

The wind gradually stopped, as if the fierce wind just now was just a little joke played by the heavens.

Si Tingye stood up.

The chilling aura emanating from him was even more terrifying than before.

A terrifyingly powerful pressure caused Yin Xiu and the bodyguards who hadn't yet boarded the plane to involuntarily take two or three steps back.

He didn't say anything, but the lines of his thin, tightly pursed lips on his handsome face became even sharper.

The unfamiliarity made Si Chengxiao frown.

He lowered his voice, hesitantly asking, "...Xiaoye?"

Upon hearing this, Si Tingye glanced at him sideways.

However, just one glance was enough to make Si Chengxiao feel an unprecedented, bone-chilling cold.

At that moment, he even felt that the man no longer recognized him.

The surroundings were eerily quiet.

Only the blinding red moon hanging high in the sky cannot be ignored.

After a long while, Si Tingye said in a low voice, "I have other things to do. You may do as you please."

After saying that, he vanished into the night in a flash.

Only the incredulous Yin Xiu and the others, as well as the heavy-hearted and complicated-looking Si Chengxiao, remained.

*

Too much time has passed.

Randy's Mansion and Richard's Castle, however, remained peaceful and undisturbed.

This made Shang Xi and Ace realize that something was wrong.

They looked at each other, and a bad feeling arose in their hearts at the same time.

The familiars sent out to investigate have not yet returned, so they have most likely been killed.

"Are they unable to break through your barrier?"

"impossible."

Ace narrowed his eyes. "It might be possible under normal circumstances, but today is different. Although the spell that weakens the power of the Red Moon doesn't have much effect on me, it still has some impact. Otherwise, Jin wouldn't have been able to send Mu Pianran and Li Qiaoqiao into the Royal Hotel under the barrier. Their absence probably indicates a bigger conspiracy."

Upon hearing this, Shang Xi's heart tightened.

For some reason, at this moment, all that could be lingering in her mind was Si Tingye.
