Chapter 140
Qiu Chi might have been a bit busy during the first half of the night. In the second half, even though many vampires gathered, they could only watch from the outside, not daring to enter and court death.
The vampires gathered outside only began to slowly disperse when the sun came out.
When Qiu Chi went down to eat, she saw Boyis again.
Boyis had completely recovered; you couldn't tell at all that he had been injured just yesterday.
The recovery ability of vampires was indeed very powerful.
Qiu Chi merely glanced at him before looking away.
Boyis, however, came straight over. "Our meeting yesterday was too rushed, and I didn't have a chance to introduce myself. My name is Boyis Chesterton. You can call me Boyis. May I ask for your name, miss?"
Qiu Chi glanced at him with a faint, mocking smile. "Did you not get beaten enough yesterday? Or are you actually a masochist?"
For someone of Boyis's status, self-esteem and face were surely very important. Although no one else was around to witness it, the fact remained that he had been beaten to within an inch of his life. Yet now, he could calmly approach her and try to make conversation. Should she say that, as expected of the Vampire King, he was remarkably adaptable?
Boyis lowered his gaze, concealing the look in his eyes. A gentle smile touched his lips as he said, "Perhaps there has been some misunderstanding between us. I like you very much, miss. When it comes to someone I like, I will gladly endure anything they do."
"Tsk. Do you think I'd believe such nonsense?"
Qiu Chi could remain unmoved by Boyis, but the other people in the hotel could not.
Boyis's appearance was exceptionally handsome, even for a vampire. His presence here attracted the gazes of nearly everyone coming and going in the hotel.
To make matters worse, Boyis was feigning gentleness, and it was likely that many people present had fallen for him at first sight.
Seeing Qiu Chi's cold dismissal of him, a woman flicked her hair and proactively approached. "Hello, handsome. Since she doesn't like you, why not consider me?"
Anyone who dared to approach him so proactively was naturally not bad-looking.
Boyis's gaze lingered on her for a moment before he smiled and shook his head, declining.
Qiu Chi could only laugh at this scene.
Boyis's refusal was definitely not because he wasn't interested, but because he hadn't successfully won over Qiu Chi yet. He was putting on a show for her.
Besides, when comparing the taste of their blood, Qiu Chi's was undoubtedly more delicious.
He hadn't gotten a taste yet, so naturally, he couldn't forget it.
Qiu Chi looked away and ate her meal in silence, completely ignoring Boyis.
And in that short time, quite a few people came over to hit on Boyis.
Not just women, but men as well.
But he rejected them all without exception. After each rejection, he would glance at Qiu Chi, but unfortunately for him, she completely ignored him.
With Boyis around, no reckless vampires dared to come at night, so Qiu Chi had a relatively peaceful evening.
As for Boyis.
Qiu Chi couldn't help but sneer.
A vampire was a vampire. No matter how good his act was, what was the point? How could he possibly change the habits ingrained in his very bones?
At night, he still ended up choosing a sucker who willingly came to him.
However, Qiu Chi couldn't be bothered to care about it and just went about her business.
The vampires and the Church currently had a treaty. Even though Boyis was the King, he couldn't just break it outright.
So, the woman who spent the night with him wouldn't die; she would just lose a little blood.
Qiu Chi didn't think much of it.
But she never expected that the next day, someone would be flaunting it in her face.
The woman who had spent the night with Boyis was indeed not dead. The amorous marks on her body were quite conspicuous, but she had no memory of having her blood drawn. Although her face was a little pale and her body felt weak, she attributed it all to Boyis being too incredible.
When Qiu Chi came down for breakfast, she ran into Boyis again and continued to ignore him.
But as she was eating, the woman came downstairs. Disregarding Boyis's somewhat displeased gaze, she walked straight toward their table.
After sitting down beside Boyis, she deliberately showed the marks on her neck to Qiu Chi opposite them. Her tone was lazy, coquettish, and full of pride. "Oh, darling, you were so incredible last night. I'm still sore and weak all over~"
Although Boyis kept his smile, there was no warmth in his eyes.
As Qiu Chi ate, she listened to the woman's boasting and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The woman frowned, a hint of displeasure in her voice. "What are you laughing at?"
Qiu Chi glanced at the woman's pale face. "Nothing. I just wanted to give you some advice. If you don't want to die, you'd better stay away from him. If you think you feel weak all over because he's so incredible, well, he is indeed incredible—the kind of incredible that will kill you in a few more sessions."
Qiu Chi said this directly to Boyis's face.
Boyis's expression remained unchanged, but the woman unfortunately misunderstood Qiu Chi's intent. "Are you deliberately trying to sow discord between us, hoping I'll leave him? Too bad for you, your tricks are too childish. I won't leave him. He is incredible. I'd be willing to die just to be with my darling."
The woman looked at Boyis, her words full of deep affection.
She had said it as a casual promise, but to Boyis, death meant exactly that—death.
If it had been yesterday, she might have escaped her fate. But today, her flaunting in front of Qiu Chi had already displeased Boyis, and her casual promise just now had sealed her death.
Qiu Chi shook her head and said no more. "You're on your own."
She had no interest in saving people.
If she were lucky, she might run into some werewolves looking for trouble.
But this woman probably wasn't that lucky.
After Qiu Chi left, the previously silent Boyis finally spoke. "I remember telling you yesterday that we only had one night. After that, we were to act as if nothing happened. Why didn't you listen? Why did you have to come and flaunt it in front of her?"
Perhaps because Boyis's voice was too gentle, the woman didn't take him seriously. Instead, she hugged his arm and whined coquettishly, "Darling, are you really going to be so cruel? Weren't you satisfied last night? We're a perfect match, aren't we? She's just a little girl; she could never satisfy you. Give us a few more nights, and you'll see that I'm the one who's best for you, darling~"
After she finished speaking, she leaned in and kissed his thin lips.
Boyis didn't refuse, but his eyes remained cold.
The next day, when Qiu Chi came for breakfast again, the woman was nowhere to be seen, though Boyis was there.
Boyis said to the breakfasting Qiu Chi, "Nothing really happened between me and her. You know what I am. Without blood, I become very weak. Yesterday, I only drank a little of her blood. Those marks were just to deceive her..."
"Are you done?" Qiu Chi looked up. "Can't you see I'm eating? Do you have to come and disgust me right now? Tell me, are you itching for another beating?"
As for Boyis's explanation, Qiu Chi could only scoff. Did she look that stupid?
