Two figures were slowly making their way deeper into the mountain forest shrouded in smoke.
Their surroundings were very quiet. Not even the chirping of insects could be heard. It was as though they had entered a world of vacuum.
"The place you chose is quite interesting!" Shi Sheng leaned against a tree trunk and panted. "How much longer do we have to walk?"
"There are countless vampires who want to kill me while I'm asleep." Xi Yin walked over quickly and crouched down in front of Shi Sheng. "I'll carry you."
Shi Sheng didn't hesitate and climbed onto Xi Yin's back.
Xi Yin walked steadily but not slowly. He finally stopped at a cliff and put Shi Sheng down. Shi Sheng didn't even have time to ask before Xi Yin jumped down with her in his arms.
The wind blew against her face, freezing her to the bone.
Shi Sheng: "…" Jumping off a cliff at the slightest disagreement? Shouldn't you at least be mentally prepared?!
Fortunately, the cliff wasn't very deep, so they quickly reached the bottom.
It was a little dark down there, so Xi Yin carried Shi Sheng and walked forward.
Finally, they entered a cave. There was a semi-transparent glass coffin in the middle of the cave. There was nothing else inside.
Xi Yin opened the coffin and rummaged around at the bottom for a while before taking out a rectangular box.
The box was carved with flowers, birds, and auspicious clouds. It wasn't locked, but Shi Sheng didn't open it.
Xi Yin smiled as he bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood on it. The box clicked open on its own.
"This anti-theft technology is simply amazing." Shi Sheng opened the box. There was a painting inside.
He took out the painting and unfurled it.
Just like her painting, there were roses that covered the sky and earth, as if they were soaked in blood. What was different from her painting was that there was no one in this painting, only a coffin that was entangled by countless roses and vines, faintly revealing some color.
Shi Sheng looked at the glass coffin behind Xi Yin with a strange expression.
"This is it." Xi Yin placed Shi Sheng's hand on the glass coffin. Shi Sheng immediately felt an enormous amount of spiritual energy converge on him.
Even in the cultivation plane, one could only sense such dense spiritual power in some of the immortal marshes.
But this glass coffin …
Shi Sheng's expression changed. He put the coffin back into the space and said, "Let's go back."
Xi Yin's eyes flashed when he saw the huge glass coffin disappear, but he didn't ask any questions.
When Shi Sheng said go back, he didn't mean go back to the vampires, but to the villa in the human world.
She went straight to her bedroom.
The painting was still hanging on the wall. Shi Sheng took it down and joined it with Xi Yin's painting.
The place where the flower was split was a particularly large rose, and the color was brighter than the other parts.
If you looked at it separately, you wouldn't be able to tell anything. You would only think that the person who drew it did it on purpose. However, when you put them together, you would realize that the flower was different.
But there was something wrong with the connection between the three.
What did the boy mean? Was it Xi Yin?
What was that flower referring to?
The only thing that was clear was the glass coffin.
Xi Yin looked at Shi Sheng quietly. Seeing her frown, he reached out and stroked her forehead. "If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it."
"I don't like hidden threats, especially when it's related to you." Shi Sheng stared at the two paintings without looking up.
— Nainai, you have to protect this painting well. You can't let anyone get their hands on it. It's your life, understand?
Shi Sheng didn't know why, but he suddenly remembered this.
If Mi Nai's parents had warned her, then did Xi Yin's parents tell him?
"Did your parents say anything to you?"
Xi Yin furrowed his brows. It had been too long, and he almost couldn't remember.
But when he saw Shi Sheng's serious expression, he tried his best to recall.
When his mother had given him the painting, other than telling him that there was another half to it, she had …
"She told me to protect this bracelet well." Xi Yin's fingers slid over the pendant on Shi Sheng's wrist.
His attitude was even more serious than when he'd given the painting to him.
Shi Sheng raised his wrist and examined it for a moment. The crescent-shaped pendant wasn't big, and it was dark green in color.
But when light passed through it, it would show a faint yellow color.
Time slowly passed. After who knew how much time had passed, Shi Sheng closed the painting. His tense little face finally revealed a hint of a smile. "I understand."
The pendant, the glass coffin, and Ai Wei.
There was probably something inside the pendant, and the glass coffin provided a large amount of spirit energy. As for Ai Wei …
It was probably a special blood vessel or a special vessel, or perhaps both.
After listening to Shi Sheng's analysis, Xi Yin couldn't help but feel astonished. She'd managed to connect the dots with so few clues?
Shi Sheng only revealed an enigmatic smile.
She hadn't analyzed the plot at all. She'd followed the author's train of thought. Combined with the clues she'd gathered, it wasn't hard for her to come to a conclusion.
It was all a ploy.
Of course, the most important thing was that she was smart.
Sikong Sa would come knocking on her door sooner or later for these things. Shi Sheng's intention was to destroy one of them.
But she couldn't bear to part with the bracelet, and Xi Yin said she couldn't destroy the glass coffin. In the end, only the female lead was left …
Did she have to destroy the female lead?
Perhaps the female lead had been misled by Sikong Sa in the first place.
Speaking of which, this female lead was quite unlucky. She'd been used from the start. If it weren't for the male lead, she probably wouldn't have survived to the end.
She hadn't even done anything this time, but the female lead had already dug her own grave.
Life wasn't static. Any small matter could change a person's life.
… …
Shi Sheng left Xi Yin at home and went to Liang Ge's house alone.
Before she left, she'd told Liang Ge she could go out, so Liang Ge wasn't home when she arrived.
After a while, Liang Ge finally returned.
"Senior, you're back." Liang Ge's face was full of surprise. Then, she excitedly surrounded Shi Sheng, her eyes sparkling.
"Mm. Did someone cause trouble for you?" Shi Sheng nodded casually. She'd checked the villa just now. The talisman hadn't been touched.
"No." Liang Ge shook her head.
Ever since Senior left, the school had calmed down.
The people who'd been watching her house had also retreated.
"That's good." Shi Sheng patted Liang Ge's head. "Then I'm leaving."
"Huh? So fast. "Liang Ge looked at Shi Sheng in disappointment.
Shi Sheng's lips twitched into a smile. "I still have things to do. I'll return to school after I'm done."
Only then did the disappointment on Liang Ge's face fade a little. "Then be careful, Senior."
Shi Sheng left the villa, intending to go to the vampire hunter headquarters alone. However, he hadn't gone far when he ran into Xi Yin.
He smiled at Shi Sheng and opened the car door behind him. "Let's go together."
Shi Sheng paused for a moment, then got in.
"How did you know what I was going to do?"
"I saw you looking up information on them." Xi Yin drove the car onto the highway. "You're my wife. Do you think it's appropriate for you to keep this from me?"
"I just …"
"Mi Nai." Xi Yin was a little helpless. "You're the one who needs to be spoiled."
Why did she always want to spoil him?
He was a man, alright? If it were any other man, he'd have quit doing such a shameful thing.
"Since you're so disobedient, you can think of a way to make it up to me when we get back."
Shi Sheng cupped his face. "Can I pay with my body?"
Xi Yin suppressed his laughter. "Sure."
