In the pitch-black castle, Alucard sat quietly on his throne.
Beside him, a little girl in a holy robe stood beside him, shivering.
"Don\'t be afraid!" Alucard looked at the little girl. "Descendant of Van Helsing, with me here, no one can hurt you!"
However, the little girl\'s body was still trembling in fear.
This was because, in the heart of this pitch-black castle, countless dark blue will-o '-the-wisps were burning fiercely.
On the surface, corrosive liquid gushed out.
Countless ferocious arms stretched out from the ghostly flames and the ground, densely packed.
Huge vines fell from the ceiling and intertwined with each other.
The terrifying Hell Ravings reverberated in the castle.
Monsters with wings but the heads of babies flew between the vines and the ghostly hands.
They chased each other, fought, and fought.
Then, they fell down one by one and fell into the ghostly flames.
When enough of these little guys died, the countless ghostly hands and vines picked up a rotten corpse from the corrosive water that gushed out from the ground.
They carried the corpse and let it hang down.
Two sausage-like things were tightly covering the corpse-like monster's face.
"Alucard... Alucard..." a voice came from the corpse. The ghostly hands went forward one by one and lifted the two sausages, exposing the monster\'s face.
It was a monster without a mouth and a nose.
In its eye sockets, there were countless eyeballs, like the fruits of a passion fruit, densely packed together.
Its eyes lit up one by one.
"My arrangements in the east have been discovered..." an evil and terrifying whisper came from the monster\'s body.
"I can feel that there are traces of a powerful existence attacking..."
"There must be changes that we don\'t know about in the east!"
"Yes..." Alucard nodded. "William is dead!"
"He died in the hands of an eastern monk..."
"Hill is also missing..."
"I can\'t find Hill\'s smell anymore..."
"I\'m afraid!" Alucard looked at the monster. "We have to go to the east and take a look... to know what happened..."
"How are you going to get there?" the monster asked.
The East was not a place one could casually go.
Once they entered, it wouldn't be that easy to get out.
Especially now that they were already on guard.
"Of course, we can't go secretly!" Alucard said with a smile, "But we can go openly!"
"Through diplomatic channels!" He picked up the little girl beside him and said, "Don't the Easterners say 'when two countries are at war, they don't kill the envoys'?"
"We will openly send a diplomatic mission …"
… …
In the boring afternoon, Ling Ping'an was fishing with a clear conscience.
"Yesterday, I wrote 8,000, and today, it's another 3,000..." Ling Ping'an said righteously, "I'm already very dedicated!"
At the very least, Ling Ping'an felt that he was much more diligent than the Eagle Eating Chicken who sent the emoticon "I already updated yesterday, why do I have to update today?" in the group every day.
At least, he didn't write it every day.
Unlike that fellow who slacks off in the group every day. He has no professionalism at all!
Thus, he charged into the canyon without any psychological pressure.
Unfortunately, just as he finished playing the game, before he could play the second game, a text message appeared on Ling Ping'an's phone.
Aunt: Brat, I'm at Xisong now. I can return to the mainland tonight!
Ling Ping'an immediately panicked.
Then, another text message came: I'll come to Jiang City tomorrow morning! Do you know what to do?
Ling Ping'an's scalp went numb as he looked at it. He carefully typed and asked, "Lobster feast?"
Aunt: Smart!
Thus, the poor bookstore owner wailed.
He knew that if that grandaunt came tomorrow and he didn't eat lobster, he definitely wouldn't be able to live in peace.
There was no other way!
He could only give up on the canyon and stand up with tears in his eyes.
Meow!
The kitten, Bastet, jumped into his arms and gently rubbed against him, comforting her master.
"This is an unlucky year!" Ling Ping'an sighed and stroked the kitten's fur. "Our good days are almost over!"
Nothing good would happen when that grandaunt came!
Ling Ping'an could imagine that grandaunt would definitely order him around for three meals a day.
What was even worse was that grandaunt might even force him to go shopping and be a coolie to carry bags.
This was the most troublesome!
When this woman went shopping, there was really nothing she could do.
Moreover, it was very likely that she would not buy a single thing even after shopping for half a day.
Then, she would continue the next day!
It was simply terrifying!
But what could he do?
"Heavens!" Ling Ping'an sighed, "Give me a fierce man to subdue this ancestor!"
But he knew that it was impossible.
His aunt's personality was so bad that no man dared to pursue her.
Ling Ping'an felt that she probably wouldn't be able to get married.
… …
The Xisong Kingdom was an isolated island kingdom in the ocean of the Federal Empire.
Three hundred years ago, this place was still a barren island.
The colonists of the Land of Qin first discovered it and used it as a place to exile prisoners.
With the beginning of the liberation war of the Shang Dynasty, the navy of the Federal Empire expelled the colonists who were entrenched here.
They brought benevolence, righteousness, and morality here, as well as a large number of immigrants.
After three hundred years of development, the Xisong Kingdom became a famous tourist destination in the Federal Empire.
Every year, tens of millions of people came to the Xisong Kingdom for vacation and sightseeing.
Therefore, the new Bianjing International Airport in the Xisong Kingdom was one of the busiest airports in the Federal Empire.
Countless airliners were transiting here.
During the peak of summer, millions of people transited here or entered the country every day.
Li An 'an sat in the VIP waiting room, swiping her phone while drinking the milk tea sent by the airport staff.
She put down her phone and couldn't help but drool from the corner of her mouth.
"Crayfish... I'm here!" She cheered in her heart.
In such a summer, she should slowly peel a plate of crayfish and drink beer comfortably.
"Weiwei!" She looked at the Taoist nun sitting opposite her. "Accompany me to Jiang City tomorrow!"
"Let me tell you, the crayfish made by my nephew is absolutely amazing!"
"Also, the steak he makes is also very delicious!"
"I'm not bragging..."
"His culinary skills can be ranked in the top ten in the entire Federal Empire!"
Chu Weiwei listened and said, "Captain, that's not a good idea..."
"What does it matter?" The beauty smiled like a summer rose, charming and moving. Countless passengers couldn't help but stop in their tracks when they saw this scene. Then, they saw the Taoist nun sitting opposite the beauty. She was like a flower bud that had just bloomed in spring, and her entire body was filled with the smell of youth.
Then, these people felt a murderous aura around them.
They turned around and saw their wives/girlfriends.
… …
Ling Ping 'an carried the kitten, Bastet, and walked in the busy market.
Although he was very lazy and usually didn't do anything.
However, he had a natural sensitivity to delicacies.
Therefore, although he rarely bought vegetables, he could tell at a glance the quality of the ingredients.
"I knew it..." he looked at the stalls one by one, but he didn't find the crayfish he liked. "It's so late. The good stuff must have been taken away!"
It was almost five o 'clock now. Basically, the ones that could be bought were the leftovers.
"Young master..." at this moment, a familiar voice came from behind him. "Are you here to buy vegetables?"
Ling Ping 'an turned around and realized that it was the kind driver from yesterday.
He nodded and said, "Yes, I'm here to buy vegetables..."
"But, I didn't find any good ingredients!"
The driver listened and smiled. "There's a new seafood shop nearby. There's a lot of stock there. Maybe you can go take a look, young master!"
"Where is it?" Ling Ping 'an looked around but didn't find any newly opened seafood shops.
"It's a little ahead..." the driver said enthusiastically, "I'm free anyway. Why don't I bring you there?"
"Sorry to trouble you!" Ling Ping 'an said quickly.
"It's no trouble!" The driver said, "I'm a volunteer. It's convenient for others and convenient for myself!"
"Maybe I'll need your help at any time!" As he said this, the young driver's heart was beating non-stop.
"Sure! Sure! "Ling Ping 'an smiled.
The driver's hands trembled when he heard this. He immediately made an inviting gesture to cover up his reaction. "Young master, please follow me!"
Thus, he brought Ling Ping 'an out of the market and came to an alley beside the market.
He walked to a house that didn't have a signboard or even a shop name. He knocked on the door and brought Ling Ping 'an in.
As he walked, he introduced it to Ling Ping 'an, "Young master, this is a seafood shop that only accepts regular customers!"
"The seafood here is also the best in the entire Federation!"
"Moreover, the price is very fair!"
Ling Ping 'an looked at the small shop.
He felt that this shop was newly opened?
But soon, he threw the doubts in his mind out of his mind.
Because he saw a tank full of fresh crayfish appearing in front of him.
He could tell at a glance that this was the top-grade crayfish he had been looking for!
It was big, clean, plump, and meaty!
"How much is this crayfish?" Ling Ping 'an asked a staff member.
The staff member looked at the driver beside Ling Ping 'an and said with a smile, "Customer, the crayfish here are raised from the mountain stream in Yungui!"
"They grow up in the mountain spring water and eat the insects and herbs in the forest..."
"So the price is a little higher!"
The driver coughed when he heard this.
He immediately smiled and said, "It's 20 yuan per catty!"
Ling Ping 'an scratched his head. 20 yuan per catty? It was a little expensive!
But looking at these crayfish, he nodded and said, "Give me 10 catties!"
"Okay!" He immediately picked up a net and scooped out a large net from the water tank.
