The visit of the two Ebben werewolves was not a big deal to the people in the room. Other than Y 'zaks who had seen much of the world and was not interested, everyone sat around the coffee table, waiting to hear what the two werewolf elders had to say. Lily sat next to Hao Ren, her head almost resting on his chin. Her neck was hurting and she was asking Hao Ren to massage it. She was asking for help like a husky.
Bluphlei Ebben took a sip of the 30-dollar jasmine tea and smacked his lips. "The Countess' life is still so simple..."
Vivian was a little unhappy when she heard that. She was poor anyway, but now she was Hao Ren's pet. The tea and water belonged to someone else. As a cultured vampire, she had to say something. "It's good enough that you have something to drink. Don't complain. Your family's situation isn't any better. Besides, Mr. Landlord likes it. What's it to you?"
Bluphlei laughed and put down the teacup. "I didn't expect to meet under such circumstances. We haven't heard from the Countess for hundreds of years. My family thought you've been 'purified' by the demon hunters. Now it seems that you're indeed the Countess of the Crimson Moon. It's not that easy to kill you. How's the Countess doing these years?"
"That sounds so hypocritical." Vivian flashed a cold smile. "Anyway, I'm doing pretty well. I'm sorry to disappoint you that I'm not dead. But you guys, such a high-profile werewolf family, haven't been wiped out by the demon hunters yet. Should I say that fools are lucky? Or that scourge doesn't die? "
In just a few words, there were already sparks flying between the two parties. This was the result of a 'peaceful negotiation'. God knows what would happen if they met under normal circumstances. It seemed that the friction between Vivian and the Ebbens was really a historical issue. God knows why they had such a huge conflict.
Hao Ren was prepared to bravely take on the role of firefighting if they really did go off the rails (mainly by holding Vivian down and letting Y 'zaks throw Brother Lanxiang … Brother Ebben out). However, he underestimated the self-restraint of the two werewolf elders. Bluphlei only smiled when he heard Vivian's provocative words. "A few days ago, I heard from the younger generation that the Countess of the Crimson Moon had appeared in Asia. The entire Ebben family was in turmoil. After all, you're a big shot among the otherworldlings. Old grudges aside, it's good to know that another old' friend 'has survived in this turbulent era."
"You're right. Now's not the time to dwell on the past." Vivian relaxed her brows. Although her tone was still cold, she looked calm. "Actually, I don't remember much about the past... I don't remember how I stirred up a storm. I remember that I was just having a casual sex life... Am I really that famous?"
"It's really the same as back then." Bluphlei shrugged, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Your casual sex life is enough to turn a lot of people upside down, okay? You almost beat me to death for a chicken back then. Have you forgotten that?" As Bluphlei spoke, he raised his finger and pointed at the long scar on his eyebrow. "Just tell me if you're hungry. Is it necessary to ransack the entire werewolf settlement just for a meal? And after knocking everyone down, you actually only managed to snatch one chicken … The Countess' straightforward actions are truly terrifying. Tsk tsk. "
Vivian suddenly looked embarrassed. She saw the strange look in Hao Ren's eyes and could only explain in a low voice, "I don't remember at all... Maybe I didn't notice that there were people around when I was robbing."
Hao Ren rolled his eyes at the sky. "How hungry was this big sister back then?"
The Ebben brothers and Vivian chatted about the past as if they were old acquaintances. They were probably trying to create a peaceful atmosphere. However, they soon realized that it was not very reliable. Nothing that happened between Vivian and the Ebben family in the past thousands of years was worth being happy about. Recalling those things would only make them angrier and eventually, they would fight. So, Vivian wisely waved her hand and interrupted them before they brought up something more irritating. "Alright, let's stop reminiscing about the past. Let's get down to business. You've come all the way here and risked being targeted by the demon hunters. I don't think you're just here to stir up trouble."
"Indeed. We're hoping to talk to the oldest elder of the Blood Clan about the current situation." Bluphlei's expression turned serious. Before he continued, he looked at the people around him. Vivian waved her hand and said, "Just say it. The people here are more reliable than you. Mr. Landlord is the owner of this shelter. He should know everything."
"I didn't expect the Countess to be so easy to get along with." Bluphlei nodded and then looked into Vivian's eyes. "I wonder if the Countess has gotten the news of the Day of Return from your kin?"
Hao Ren's indifferent attitude was immediately caught by the word. He realized that the two werewolves had brought a big secret!
"The Day of Return?" Vivian frowned. "What's that?"
"You don't know?" Bluphlei was surprised. "All the unusual creatures are on the move. As far as we know, even the most conservative small groups of vampires in Northern Europe are active. I thought you would at least have received the news. After all, you're the elder of the Blood Clan."
"Don't call me elder all the time. I'm still young!" Vivian knocked on the coffee table and then crossed her arms in front of her chest. "I haven't been in contact with other Blood Clan members for a long time. All these years, I've been living a hard life … I've been busy traveling the world and haven't paid attention to current affairs. What happened? I heard the two little guys, Casar and Ewen, mention the sirens coming ashore. Is it related to that? "
"Indeed." Bluphlei realized that Vivian really knew nothing about the Day of Return. His tone became subtle. "The sirens brought news from the deep sea. They mentioned the exciting event of the return of the Mythological Era. However, the details of the Day of Return are only known by the elders of each family. Naturally, juniors like Casar and Ewen don't know about it … But I didn't expect you to be kept in the dark. Could it be that the Blood Clan …"
"It's not good to think too much," Vivian said slowly with a hint of threat. "Werewolves should think about their own matters. There's nothing wrong with me and my kin. I just don't like to be around those boring juniors. Now, tell me, what is the Day of Return? "
"'The ancient source of power is awakening. The ancient glorious kingdom once built by the extraordinary races is about to reopen its doors. The glory and power that belongs to us are about to return. The weakening of those brutal lackeys is an unquestionable sign.' These are the few words about the Day of Return. They were directly translated from the ancient and obscure ancient language of the sirens. The meaning is clear when interpreted." Bluphlei used a solemn tone to recite a prophecy that sounded mysterious. He then turned to Nangong Wuyue curiously. "Actually, I wanted to ask just now. Isn't there a siren here? I thought she was your messenger … "
"What's a messenger?" Hao Ren could not help but ask.
Blushedt got an affirmative look from Bluphlei. He then explained, "It refers to the sirens who came ashore more than a hundred years ago. Apart from those who stopped their journey due to 'various reasons', the rest of the sirens have found their way to various other races' communities in the world. Basically, there's one in each community. They call themselves messengers. The news about the Day of Return was released by them. I thought that a shelter like yours would at least be considered a small community, and a rather special one at that. This siren lady is your messenger … "
"Err, we've actually just been organized not long ago." Hao Ren scratched his head. "As for Nangong Wuyue … according to what you said, her mother is a messenger. She's not."
"Oh, the descendants of the sirens?" Blushedt nodded in realization. He then looked at Vivian. "What does the countess think about the Day of Return?"
"Bullsh * t," Vivian said concisely.
