“Wait… wait a moment…”
Li Ruoxi summoned her courage and said.
“Wait…”
“What are you here for?”
Li Ruoxi mustered her courage and said quickly.
“Can you take me away?”
The lead werewolf at the front turned his massive wolf head, looked at Li Ruoxi, panted, then continued leaping toward the castle.
Huge werewolves brushed past Li Ruoxi, kicking up gusts of wind carrying the distinct musky scent of wolves.
Only after all the werewolves had passed did Li Ruoxi prop herself up and slowly stand.
Her legs trembled uncontrollably.
Seeing these werewolves, Li Ruoxi thought of the vampires in the estate…
Sister Moyila.
These werewolves meant trouble.
The moment she thought of Sister Moyila, Li Ruoxi immediately suppressed her urge to flee, fought back her fear, and started running toward Moyila’s room.
The werewolves appeared suddenly, and in such force—they certainly weren’t here with good intentions.
“Werewolves are natural enemies of vampires. Forget about Vivian and the others, but Sister Moyila shouldn’t be dragged into this storm.”
Her heart pounded thump thump thump.
Nervous, Li Ruoxi started jogging.
She kicked off her ill-fitting leather shoes to run faster.
Suddenly, a screech came from the main building.
Li Ruoxi saw a small figure entangled with quadrupedal shapes several times larger.
Howls and vampire cries instantly erupted across the estate’s morning.
“Quick, Li Ruoxi, hurry!”
Stepping on the uneven, jagged ground, Li Ruoxi’s tender feet ached so much she almost cried out, but she only sped up.
The sounds of fighting lasted only a short while before Li Ruoxi finally reached Moyila’s room.
The door was smashed and lying on the floor.
The room no longer had the warm scene from before; it was in chaos, clearly the site of a recent struggle.
Toward the bathroom, there was a huge gap, letting light spill in.
Li Ruoxi carefully stepped across the ground, which was covered in pitted rubble and broken roof decorations like metal strips.
Hiss…
She stepped on a tiny, transparent shard of glass.
On her fair, smooth foot, beads of blood seeped out, with glass fragments embedded in the wound.
Without bothering to find new shoes, Li Ruoxi quickly jogged to the front gap, stepped over the low broken wall.
The outer hall was also pitted and scarred, far from its original splendor.
Vampires and werewolves were locked in scattered fights, but because the roof had been broken through, sunlight poured in, greatly limiting the vampires’ movements.
Naturally, the werewolves had the upper hand.
Seeing this, Li Ruoxi tried to guess where Moyila might be.
The fight in the room just now couldn’t have been between Moyila and a werewolf.
She saw it.
Sure enough, Moyila appeared briefly on the third-floor staircase, with a werewolf closely pursuing her.
Strangely, Moyila didn’t vanish and reappear like other vampires, nor was she afraid of the sunlight streaming through the hole in the roof.
Li Ruoxi looked around, combined with the layout she had explored recently, and headed the other way.
“Werewolves… werewolves, what are werewolves afraid of…”
Li Ruoxi rapidly recalled what could counter werewolves.
“What are they afraid of?!”
Jogging, Li Ruoxi was too nervous to remember the key thing.
Frustrated, she didn’t notice the obstacle on the ground.
She failed to step over a fallen pillar and fell hard.
Seeing the smooth color of the ground, Li Ruoxi suddenly realized, “Mercury!”
She quickly pushed herself up, looked around, then suddenly ducked.
A huge shadow approached rapidly.
Boom!!!
A werewolf was thrown down from the rooftop.
“Mu Tu!!!!”
Li Ruoxi heard Vivian’s angry voice.
Vivian was now wearing a tight combat outfit, hanging upside down from the dome glass above the hall.
Behind her, black bat-like wings spread wide, an imposing aura constantly radiating from her.
“Vivian, didn’t expect me to come at this time, did you!”
The giant wolf that had leaped from the third floor landed on the ground and spoke in a deep, rumbling voice.
Mu Tu raised his wolf head, baring sharp fangs.
An equally terrifying pressure emanated from him.
Li Ruoxi, nearby, was buffeted by their auras, nearly fainting.
Her heart pounded thump thump thump even more violently than before.
She struggled to move, trying not to be noticed by either side.
Suddenly, a piercing chill spread over her.
Li Ruoxi swallowed, carefully glancing in Vivian’s direction.
‘This is not the time to notice me,’ Li Ruoxi thought.
Vivian’s cold gaze made Li Ruoxi’s heart race even from such a distance.
Mu Tu dug his claws into the ground, clearly gathering strength.
He moved!
Defying gravity, he seemed to fly upward.
Vivian screeched, her sharp fangs showing, and vanished in an instant.
Run!
Without hesitation, Li Ruoxi headed the other way toward Moyila.
