Chapter 213 It smells so good, can I drink your blood?
"What's wrong, let's go!"
The door opened, and Lin Shuwan vaguely saw a standing shadowy figure. Startled, she grabbed Tronos and ran outside without thinking.
"Wait, take a closer look." Tronos stopped her. "It's a puppet."
"puppet?"
Lin Shuwan looked around the room again with some skepticism, cautiously scanning the room before finally taking Tronos's hand and getting closer to examine it closely.
"It really is a puppet, just like Xiao Mu. I never thought the vampires living here would be like that..."
She suddenly stopped halfway through her sentence, turned around, and asked, "The vampires here, you didn't kill them all already, did you?"
Tronos can gain the abilities of the vampires he kills, and the vampires here also seem to be able to control puppets.
"Probably." Tronos glanced briefly at the interior layout and then led her with a clear purpose to a curtain that had been drawn down.
"Then why did you scare me just now!" Lin Shuwan pouted and complained.
"This is my first time here too, but it seems like I've come to the right place."
He reached out and grabbed a tasseled cord, pulling it down hard.
The curtain rose, revealing the treasure hidden behind it.
An entire wall of jewelry and diamonds, each encased in a transparent glass box of the same size, resembles stars in the night sky—dreamy and beautiful.
"Wow!"
Lin Shuwan couldn't help but exclaim, "This is so beautiful!"
Her hand rested lightly on the surface of the glass box, her face getting closer and closer to the glass, almost touching it completely. While admiring it, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "How did you know where she was hiding since this is your first time here?"
"I heard about it." Tronos glanced at the puppet that had lost control and was standing there blankly, a shadow passing over his eyes.
Nasica is the vampire that Leon summoned to share him, and also the owner of this castle.
She loved collecting beautiful things and admiring them day and night in her bedroom, such as jewelry, diamonds, and even eyeballs.
Even when he was still imprisoned, she always liked to stare into his eyes.
"Your eyes are truly the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen."
"Yes, yes, that's it, full of hatred and anger, so beautiful, so very beautiful."
"Don't worry, after you die, I will take them and put them on my puppets so that they can guard my treasures."
If it weren't for the concern that removing his eyes too early would affect the aesthetics of each meal, she probably would have gouged them out long ago.
But later, he was the one who burned her eyeballs first...
Tronos snapped out of his thoughts, remembering the purpose of his visit, and asked, "What color gemstone bracelet do you like?"
"Ok?"
Lin Shuwan looked up at him and casually held up a pinkish-orange Padparadscha. "Pink, right? These are nice, pretty. Do you want to use this to make a bracelet for me?"
Tronos nodded, took the gem from her hand, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Then which color do you think would go better with it?"
"What, you want to be a couple?" Lin Shuwan blurted out.
I thought she had misunderstood, but to my surprise, Tronos readily admitted, "Yes."
Upon hearing his answer, Lin Shuwan wanted to refuse.
Although she forgave his previous behavior, it didn't mean she wanted to wear matching bracelets with him.
But before she could utter a word of refusal, she suddenly caught sight of the remaining few Padparadscha flowers, and a brilliant idea flashed through her mind. She said slyly, "I think, of course, flowers of the same color would match better!"
Tronos's expression became somewhat indescribable: "There are many other colors here, why don't you consider this? Perhaps blue would be nice too."
Lin Shuwan feigned hesitation for a moment, then picked up another Padparadscha, similar in size to the one in Tronos's hand, and blatantly lied:
"No need, just pink! Look, these two are about the same size. The others seem a bit too big for the bracelet, they're not suitable."
"And I don't think I've ever seen you wear a pink chain before."
In fact, Tronos never wore any bracelets on his wrists.
At this moment, Tronos wished he could go back five minutes and sew his mouth shut before asking the question, but looking into her expectant eyes, he couldn't bring himself to refuse, and finally compromised, saying, "Fine, give it to me."
The two braided ropes he took out of his pocket floated into the air along with the gemstone.
The gemstones were simply polished into two heart shapes and set into the two cords that Tronos had taken out, and then fell into his hands together.
"I didn't expect you to have this skill." Lin Shuwan stretched her wrist out in front of him. "Quickly, help me put it on and see."
So conscious?
Tronos raised an eyebrow and took a step forward, instantly closing the distance between them.
Lin Shuwan felt a little awkward and wanted to back away, but Tronos grabbed her wrist: "Don't move."
She turned her head away, but the unintentional touch of skin against skin made the warm sensation even more pronounced, and even her ears, half-hidden under her long hair, blushed.
From Tronos's perspective, the red was particularly noticeable, and he chuckled softly, which annoyed Lin Shuwan, who said, "Hurry up!"
Fearing he might anger someone, Tronos quickened his pace, which he had deliberately slowed down earlier.
As soon as she put it on, Lin Shuwan wanted to get away immediately, but Tronos grabbed her again. She glared at him, both annoyed and embarrassed, and said, "What are you doing!"
"Could you please help me put this on, Miss Aurora?" Tronos handed another bracelet to Lin Shuwan.
"Are you sure?" Lin Shuwan asked.
She deliberately chose pink, knowing that Tronos would definitely not wear it.
To my surprise, he actually agreed!
Now, looking at the bracelet again, Tronos no longer felt disgusted: "Of course."
Lin Shuwan had no choice but to help him put it on.
The pink gemstone in his hand didn't look feminine at all; in fact, it looked quite nice.
The plan failed, and Lin Shuwan looked at the chain on his hand, feeling resentful.
Tronos noticed that she was staring at the two bracelets and worried that she might want to take them off, so he explained, "If you get into trouble, just tap the gems on them three times and I'll know your location."
"So amazing?" Sure enough, Lin Shuwan's attention was immediately drawn, and she curiously tapped the door three times.
The chain on Tronos's hand began to glow.
"If you knock three times, will I be able to know your location?" Lin Shuwan asked.
Tronos did not answer, but also tapped three times.
Lin Shuwan's bracelet also began to gleam faintly, and there was a subtle attraction that drew her hand closer to Tronos's hand wearing the bracelet.
Seeing that she had become familiar with the use of the bracelet, Tronos said, "Alright, we should go back now."
"do not."
Fearing that it would cause panic among the people of Evandel, Lin Shuwan has only been wandering around the Misty Forest these days.
She quickly grabbed Tronos, "What's the point of staying at home all day? Are there any towns nearby? Let's go check them out together."
